SURAJ BHAN Vs. STATE OF U P

JUDGEMENT

(1.) EXPECTATION transformed into disappointment when the appellants -petitioners were called upon to disgorge the excess amount of salary paid due to an alleged wrong fixation of pay scale on the post of Typist in the respondent - Corporation. This uncertainty and insecurity of preserving the pay scale drawn, opened the pursuit of litigation, and the appellants knocked the doors of this Court before the learned single Judge who un -ravelled the folly of the chase and dismissed the petitions.

(2.) DESTINY was otherwise. The course of human affairs led to this situation. The appellants plead that they were oblivious of any such lapse that is now being announced by the respondents that should not be read to their disadvantage.

(3.) THESE three appeals arise out of a common judgment and order of the learned single Judge in five writ petitions that were decided together vide judgment and order dated 6.4.2010. The learned single Judge dismissed all the writ petitions, and came to the conclusion that the correction of the pay scale of the appellants - petitioners on the post of Typist which ultimately resulted in reduction thereof from Rs. 1350 -2200 to Rs. 1025 -1725, was justified, and the order passed by the authority dated 19.4.2001 was correct. The recovery of the excess amount paid was, however, protected.
