IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY

BENCH AT AURANGABAD 936 WRIT PETITION NO.8149 OF 2019 LAHANBHAU NARAYAN SAHANE AND OTHERS

VERSUS

THE STATE OF MAHARASHTRA AND OTHERS ...

Advocate for Petitioners : Murge Estling S AGP for Respondents: Mrs.M.A.Deshpande ----- CORAM : S.V.GANGAPURWALA & MANGESH S. PATIL, JJ.

DATE : 04/07/2019 PER COURT :

1] It is submitted that, petitioners in these Writ Petitions are awarded certificate of excellent work and advance increments in the years 2007 and 2008. They were given benefit of advance increments and same was also paid. However, now for some of the petitioners recovery is claimed and for some of the petitioners benefit is not extended. If the petitioners are already granted certificate of excellent work in the years 2007 and 2008, then same cannot be withdrawn retrospectively on the basis of subsequent Government Resolution.

2] The same view was taken by us in Writ Petition No. 1954 of 2018 with other connected Writ Petitions under order dated 25.01.2019.

3] The Government Resolution dated 24.08.2017 will have prospective effect and not retrospective and in that case benefit that

936 wp8149.19 was accorded to petitioners of excellent work in the years 2007 and 2008, shall not be withdrawn and if any recovery is made pursuant to the same, same shall be refunded to the petitioners. 4] In the light of the above, Writ Petitions are disposed of. No costs.
