Municipal Council Bhilai) decided on 06/07/2015, in which, it has been stated as under:- "7. In the case at hand also, the petitioners are not working in any gazetted post. Recovery sought to be made against them is towards excess payment made to them from July, 2000 to July, 2008 i.e. more than 5 years back. Thus, the case of the petitioners squarely falls within the exception of extreme hardship carved out by the Supreme Court in para-12 of Rafiq Masih case.

8. For the foregoing, the writ petitions are allowed and the impugned recovery is set aside."

Accepting the submission on behalf of the parties, this writ petition is disposed of in terms of order dated 06/07/2015 passed in Writ Petition (S) No.182/2015. Sd/- (Sanjay K. Agrawal) JUDGE Tiwari
