Paras Nath Singh vs State Of Bihar & Ors

The Supreme Court held that the recovery of Rs. 1,01,529.50 from the appellant's salary, following the cancellation of his First Time Bound Promotion, was unjustified. The Court noted that the appellant, a Class IV employee, had worked for 10 years in the promoted position without any fraud or misrepresentation on his part. The Court set aside the High Court's judgments, allowing the writ petition and ruling that no further recovery should be made, although amounts already recovered would not be refunded.
