Fulmani Debi vs State Of Jharkhand & Ors on 20 November, 2008<\/div>\n
                In the High Court of Jharkhand at Ranchi\n\n                       W.P.(S) No.4929 of 2007\n\n                Fulmani Devi..............................Petitioner\n\n                       VERSUS\n\n                State of Jharkhand and others.. Respondents\n\n                CORAM: HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE R.R.PRASAD\n\n                For the Petitioner : M\/s. Jitendra Nath and Pradeep Kumar\n                For the State       : Mr.S.B.Gadodia\n                For the Accountant General: Mr.S.Srivastava\n\n4.   20.11.08<\/pre>\n
          This writ application is directed against the order as<\/p>\n
                contained in pension payment order issued by the Accountant<\/p>\n
                General vide memo no.Pen III- 07-08-3980 dated 16.6.2007<\/p>\n
                (Annexure    1)   whereby    Rs.3,60,954\/-   has   been   shown   as<\/p>\n
                Government dues and has been ordered tobe debited from the<\/p>\n
                amount of pension. Further order as contained in memo no.4231<\/p>\n
                dated 19.7.2007 issued by Senior Superintendent of Police, Ranchi<\/p>\n
                has   also   been   sought    tobe   quashed   whereunder    Senior<\/p>\n
                Superintendent of Police directed the Treasury Officer, Ranchi to<\/p>\n
                adjust Rs.3,60,954\/- from the amount of pension and gratuity of<\/p>\n
                the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n
                       It is admitted case of the partes that the petitioner was<\/p>\n
                appointed against the post of Sweeper in the year 1964 but at the<\/p>\n
                time of her appointment, her date of birth was not noted in the<\/p>\n
                service book. However, when in the year 1994-95 the above defect<\/p>\n
                was detected, the petitioner was sent to Civil Surgeon, Ranchi for<\/p>\n
                assessment of her age. On examination, age of the petitioner was<\/p>\n
                ascertained to be 56 years which was communicated by the Civil<\/p>\n
                Surgeon, vide letter dated 30.11.1995. On the basis of that report,<\/p>\n
                office order was drawn and the age of the petitioner was entered<\/p>\n
                into the service book and according to that entry, the petitioner<\/p>\n
                was supposed to retire on 31.3.1998. However, according to the
\n                            2<\/span><\/p>\n
petitioner, the petitioner being illiterate was not aware about the<\/p>\n
date of retirement and, hence, she went on putting her services<\/p>\n
until 30.11.2004 when she was asked to vacate the post which she<\/p>\n
did and during this period, the petitioner did draw the salary. Now<\/p>\n
the authority has sought to recover the amount which the<\/p>\n
petitioner has drawn for the period from 1.4.1998 to 30.11.2004<\/p>\n
which is quite illegal as the petitioner was allowed to continue to<\/p>\n
discharge his duties without there being any misrepresentation.<\/p>\n
       Learned counsel appearing for the petitioner further submits<\/p>\n
that   under the provision of Police Manual, the authority was<\/p>\n
required to intimate about the date of retirement to the petitioner<\/p>\n
18 months before but admittedly no such information was given<\/p>\n
and the petitioner was allowed to continue to discharge her duties<\/p>\n
and in that event, the authority is not entitled to recover the<\/p>\n
amount which the petitioner has drawn in view of the ratio laid<\/p>\n
down in a case of Narayan Singh vs. State of Bihar and<\/p>\n
others [2004(1) JCR 324].\n<\/p>\n
       However, stand of the respondent is that on the basis of the<\/p>\n
age ascertained by Civil Surgeon, Ranchi, the petitioner was to<\/p>\n
retire on 31.3.1998 which the petitioner was fully knowing but the<\/p>\n
petitioner continued her services even after attaining the age of<\/p>\n
superannuation without there being any order of the controlling<\/p>\n
authority   though, under order as contained in memo no.3\/F –<\/p>\n
02\/88 (Part I)\/1600 V (2) issued by the Finance Department,<\/p>\n
Government of Bihar on 1.4.1991, the petitioner was not supposed<\/p>\n
to continue after attaining the age of superannuation      but the<\/p>\n
petitioner continued her services till 30.11.2004 and hence, salary<\/p>\n
drawn for aforesaid period is adjustable towards the amount of<\/p>\n
pension and gratuity of the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n
                             3<\/span><\/p>\n
       Mr. S. Srivastava, learned counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n
Accountant General submits that the petitioner even after attaining<\/p>\n
age of superannuation went on discharging her duties without any<\/p>\n
order regarding her re-employment and in that event, she had no<\/p>\n
right to claim the salary and, therefore, office of Accountant<\/p>\n
General issued the order wherein excess amount drawn has been<\/p>\n
shown to be debitable from the amount of pension and gratuity of<\/p>\n
the petitioner.\n<\/p>\n
       Learned counsel further submits that when similar point fell<\/p>\n
for consideration before the Hon’ble Supreme Court rendered in a<\/p>\n
case of Radha Kishun vs. Union of India and others<\/a> [(1997)<\/p>\n
9 SCC 239] the Apex Court found the order regarding recovery of<\/p>\n
the amount quite justifiable and in that view of the matter, this writ<\/p>\n
application is fit to be dismissed.\n<\/p>\n
       Having heard learned counsel appearing for the parties, it<\/p>\n
does appear that when it was found that service book does not<\/p>\n
contain the date of birth of the petitioner, the authority sent the<\/p>\n
petitioner before the Civil Surgeon, Ranchi for assessment of her<\/p>\n
age and on examination, her age was found to be 56 years in the<\/p>\n
year 1996 and, accordingly, petitioner was supposed to get retired<\/p>\n
on 31.3.1998. but the petitioner went on discharging her duties till<\/p>\n
30.11.2004 when she was asked to vacate the post, though,<\/p>\n
according to learned counsel appearing for the petitioner,        the<\/p>\n
authority in terms of the provision of Police Manual, was required<\/p>\n
to intimate about the date of retirement 18 months before         the<\/p>\n
date of superannuation but the said provision of the Police Manual<\/p>\n
never gives any right a person to continue service even after<\/p>\n
attaining the age of superannuation, if no such communication has<\/p>\n
been made by the authority. Admittedly, the petitioner’s age has<\/p>\n
been assessed by the Civil Surgeon, Ranchi and in that event, one
\n                            4<\/span><\/p>\n
can easily presumed that the petitioner must have knowledge<\/p>\n
about the date of superannuation and as such, any plea taken that<\/p>\n
the petitioner was not aware of the date of superannuation is not<\/p>\n
acceptable.    Consequently, the argument advanced on behalf of<\/p>\n
the petitioner that the authority is not entitled to recover the<\/p>\n
amount which the petitioner has drawn in excess during the period<\/p>\n
from 1.4.1998 to 30.11.2004 is also not tenable as the petitioner<\/p>\n
had no right to continue in the service and to draw the salary after<\/p>\n
attaining the age of superannuation. This proposition has been<\/p>\n
categorically laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in a case of<\/p>\n
Radha Kishun vs. Union of India and others<\/a> (supra).<\/p>\n
However, learned counsel has placed his reliance in a case of<\/p>\n
Narayan Singh vs. State of Bihar and others (supra), but the<\/p>\n
ratio laid down in that case is not applicable in the present case as<\/p>\n
in that case, certain amount was paid to the petitioner on account<\/p>\n
of second time bound promotion and also on the premise that he<\/p>\n
had   passed    Hindi   Nothing   and   Drafting   Examination   but<\/p>\n
subsequently, it was found that the petitioner was not entitled to<\/p>\n
second time bound promotion from the date on which it was given<\/p>\n
and, therefore, excess amount drawn was sought to be recovered<\/p>\n
which order was held to be not tenable by this Court as time bound<\/p>\n
promotion and also salary enhancement on account of passing of<\/p>\n
Hindi Nothing and Drafting Examination was given without there<\/p>\n
being any misrepresentation.\n<\/p>\n
      So far this case is concerned, the petitioner was quite aware<\/p>\n
about the date of his superannuation, still she continued in service<\/p>\n
and drew salary to which she was not entitled to and under this<\/p>\n
situation, any order regarding recovery of the amount drawn in<\/p>\n
excess cannot in view of the ratio laid down in a case of Radha
\n                                    5<\/span><\/p>\n
      Kishun vs. Union of India and others<\/a> (supra), be held to be<\/p>\n
      illegal.\n<\/p>\n
                 Accordingly, I do not find any merit in this application.<\/p>\n
      Hence, this application is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                                                (R.R. Prasad, J.)<\/p>\n
