In Brief
The case involved public sector employees (appellants) challenging orders for recovery of financial benefits from their retirement salaries. The employees had been granted the Deputy Accountant pay-scale under a Government Resolution which was later withdrawn. The Supreme Court held that employees cannot claim such pay-scale once the Resolution is withdrawn. However, benefits received while the Resolution was deemed valid by the High Court could not be recovered. The Court partly allowed the appeal, permitting recovery of excess payments only through monthly instalments and barring recovery from benefits already secured during employment.",
