What is this about?
The petition challenged a revised Pension Payment Order attempting to recover money from a superannuated employee without issuing a show cause notice. The Court held the order invalid due to procedural non-compliance and Supreme Court precedents barring post-superannuation recovery, quashing the order and directing restitution.
What did the court decide?
The impugned PPO dated 17.11.2016 is quashed; recovered amount to be returned within eight weeks or with 6% interest; earlier PPO dated 16.12.2015 revived.
