Jogeswar Sahoo Principle | Recovery of Excess Pay from Group-C Employees Violates Natural Justice : CAT Cuttack
CAT Cuttack rules that recovery of excess pay from Group-C employees-even due to departmental error-is impermissible under Jogeswar Sahoo v. Dist. Judge, as it violates principles of natural justice and Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution. The ruling protects low-ranking employees from arbitrary deductions without prior notice or opportunity to be heard.
