20.08.2026 10 sdas WPA 20153 of 2026 Sri Nigampriya Chakraborty Vs. The Union of India & Ors. Mr. Chandan Misra ….. for the petitioner Mr. Indrajeet Dasgupta Mr. Sujit Mitra ….. for the respondents 1. The petitioner is aggrieved that the payment made to him during the period from 25th January, 2025 to May 31, 2025, is being recovered in tranches from his salary for a period of time. 2. The petitioner is a Constable posted with the CRPF and has rendered service for a while. He had suffered severe injuries in the line of action sometime in 2016. 3. The petitioner is still undergoing treatment as the injuries are not fully recovered. He has to take leave on account of medical ground for surgeries which are still being conducted on the petitioner. 4. Mr. Misra, learned Advocate appearing for the petitioner, submits that a sum of Rs.51,238/- is being recovered from him for the period from January 25, 2025 to May 31, 2025. This recovery is impermissible. 2 5. Mr. Dasgupta, learned Advocate appearing for the respondent authorities, submits that it is clear from the recovery order dated June 9, 2026, which has been assailed in this writ petition, that the payment of the aforestated sum had been made erroneously. Hence, the sum is being recovered. 6. Mr. Dasgupta further submits that all steps have been taken to take care of the petitioner including the medical expenses, posting the petitioner in non-active duty and other related steps. However, the money already paid by the respondent authorities to the petitioner between the aforestated period from January, 2025 to May, 2025 has been done erroneously and is being recovered in accordance with the provisions of law. 7. There is nothing on record to show that the petitioner is entitled to such payment as the medical certificate for leave is for the period from September 26, 2025 to November 24, 2025. This certificate does not cover the period between January, 2025 to May, 2025, during which period the payment had been erroneously made. 8. In view of the aforestated, I do not find any reason to stay or set aside or in any manner interfere with the recovery order dated June 9, 2026. 9. Accordingly, the writ petition fails and is dismissed. 3 10. There will be no order as to costs. 11. Urgent photostat certified copy of the order, if applied for, be given to the parties upon usual undertakings. (Reetobroto Kumar Mitra, J.)
