#State of Punjab v. Rafiq Masih

Madhya Pradesh High Court rules that recovery from retired employees beyond one year of retirement is illegal, relying on Supreme Court precedent in State of Punjab v. Rafiq Masih and state circulars. The court quashed an Rs. 80,463 deduction from a retired employee's leave encashment, reinforcing that post-retirement recoveries without prior notice violate principles of natural justice and state policy.

CAT Allahabad quashes Rs. 39,000/month recovery from a government employee's salary for unauthorized quarter occupation, ruling that due process and opportunity of hearing are mandatory under FR 45-A. The judgment reinforces that recovery proceedings must comply with principles of natural justice, impacting government accommodation rules and service law.
