Civil Writ Petion No. 9626 of 2021 (O&M) -2the orders of the respondents issued vide letter bearing No. 6575 dated 15.4.2021 for recovery of Rs 1,65,363/- being over payment so made to him. As has been fairly conceded by the counsel for the respondents that inspite of due representation by way of Annexure P/2 made by the petitioner, the respondents had gone ahead with making deduction of the amount in instalments. Be so as it may. It would suffice the ends of justice if directions are issued to the respondents to first consider and dispose of the representation of the petitioner Annexure P/2 within one month of the receipt of the copy of this order and may if deemed it appropriate call the petitioner for personal hearing as well. Till then no recovery on the basis of alleged claim shall be made by the respondents and if any deduction has been made on the basis of the the said letter, the same shall be refunded for the time being to the petitioner. The petition as such stands disposed off. ( Fateh Deep Singh ) June 28, 2021 Judge 'tiwana'
