By means of this petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution, petitioner is aggrieved by the impugned order dated 25th August, 2021 and consequential order dated 17th September, 2021, whereby he has been directed to deposit back the amount that was paid in excess towards the salary on account of wrong fixation of pay. 3. Learned counsel for the petitioner has argued before the Court that petitioner has not been responsible at any point of time for any wrongful pay fixation, nor at any point of time he misrepresented the matter before the competent authority. It is also argued that petitioner never gave any undertaking before the authority at the time of pay fixation so as to fasten him now with obligation to pay back the excess amount and thus, according to petitioner, his case does not stand covered under the exception carved
