Sushil Kumar Singhal vs Pramukh Sachiv,Irrigation ...

The Supreme Court held that the recovery of excess salary paid to the appellant-employee and the reduction of his pension were unjustified as per the Government Order dated 16th January 2007, which restricts the correction of pay fixation mistakes to a period of 34 months prior to retirement. The Court emphasized that since the error in salary fixation occurred in 1986, it could not be rectified post-retirement. Consequently, the Court overturned the High Court's decision, ruling in favor of the appellant and reinstating his original pension amount.
