PARAS NATH SINGH vs STATE OF BIHAR .

The Supreme Court held that the cancellation of the appellant's First Time Bound Promotion and the subsequent recovery of Rs. 1,01,529.50 from his salary was unjustified, given that he had worked in the promoted position for about 10 years without any fraud or misrepresentation. The Court emphasized the appellant's status as a Class IV employee and his lack of understanding regarding the implications of his undertaking. The Court set aside the High Court's judgments, allowing the writ petition and ruling that no further recovery would be made, although amounts already recovered would not be refunded.
