Ram Prasad Sahu v. State of Chhattisgarh and Ors.
Case brief
What is this about?
This judgment disposed of five writ petitions (WPS Nos. 3192-3196 of 2010) filed by retired teachers challenging recovery orders. The High Court, relying on a prior order in analogous cases (WPS No. 5400/2007) where recovery was barred pending enquiry into forgery, allowed the petitions and quashed the impugned recovery orders by analogy.
What did the court decide?
The writ petitions were allowed and all impugned orders of recovery stood quashed, with liberty reserved to the respondents to pass appropriate orders after the inquiry concluded.
