any notice and no enquiry was conducted to hold him responsible and liable for the recovery order. In fact, the petitioner was directed by the second respondent to produce the order passed for changing the date of increment. Though no order was passed, an entry was made in Service Register by the Medical Officer, Punnai. The said entry was made based upon his representation for fixation of pay on par with his junior. The said revision was made in the year 1989 itself. Thereafter, he was sanctioned increment with effect from first January of every year, till his promotion to the post of Block Health Supervisor from 28.06.2003.
