pensionary benefit then the admissible pension, the same
shall be recovered under Rule 134 of the Maharashtra Civil
Services [Pension] Rules, 1982. However, subsequently,
the Government issued another Government Circular

2014, thereby stayed the said instructions contained in the
Government Circular dated 17th December, 2013. The

due to wrong fixation of pay is stayed by the respondent
State Government by issuing Circular dated 17.12.2014. It
is further submitted that, keeping in view the financial
liabilities of the petitioner, the impugned order deserves to
be quashed and set aside. Therefore, relying upon the
pleadings in the Petition, averments in the Civil Application
and annexure thereto, the learned counsel appearing for
the petitioner prays that, the Petition may be allowed.
11] The learned counsel appearing for the
petitioner during the course of hearing tendered across the

5269.2012 WP+.odt
10
respondent Nos. 2 and 3 relying upon the averments in the
affidavit in replies submits that, the present petitioner had
already taken / availed higher pay scale after completion of
12 years of service under time bound promotion scheme,
therefore, the petitioner is not entitled for higher pay scale
from the respondent nos. 2 and 3 on the ground that, he
has worked in tribal and Naxlite area. In view of order
bearing No.SAFD Corp.Ltd./ account/1278/2012, Nashik-2,
dated 13.04.2012, order No.TDC/RMY/adm/EST/160/2012
Yawatmal, dated 17/18.05.2012 and order O.W. No.SFTD
Corp. Ltd./adm /EST/1349/2012 dated 29.05.2012, by which
recovery of amount of wrongful availment of additional
higher pay scale by petitioner @ Rs.3000/- p.m. from
monthly salary of the present petitioner is legal and proper.
Hence, he submits that, the Writ Petition is devoid of merit.
The petitioner has no prima facie case on merit for granting
any relief, hence, Petition is liable to be dismissed in limine.
13] It is further submitted that, the petitioner has
availed wrongfully additional higher pay scale on the
ground that, he has worked in tribal / Naxlite area, for
which he is not legally entitled at all, as he has taken higher
pay scale under time bound promotion scheme upon

5269.2012 WP+.odt
11
completion of 12 years of service. However, this wrongful
benefits availed by the petitioner needs to be recovered. It
is further submitted that, in the beginning of the service
career, the present petitioner was working with the tribal
development Corporation. In the Year 1998, Shabari Tribal
Financial Development Corporation came into existence [in
short 'STFDC']. Accordingly, staff of SFTDC has been filled
in from Maharashtra State Tribal Development Corporation.
At the time of appointment with the Tribal Development
Corporation, the petitioner was drawing scale of Rs.
1640-2900/- as Accountant. As the present petitioner has
completed 12 years of service, higher pay scale of Rs.
2000-3500/- has been granted to the petitioner by order
dated 19.07.1999, under time bound promotion scheme.
The learned counsel appearing for the respondent Nos. 2
and 3 invited our attention to the order dated 19th July,
1999, which is placed on record with the affidavit in reply.
14] It is further submitted that, the order dated 8th
February, 2006, which is placed on record at Exhibit-C of
the Petition, is self-explanatory. In the said order, it is
clearly stated that, additional pay scale and benefits
thereunder shall not be applicable to the employees /

5269.2012 WP+.odt
12
officers who have availed the higher pay scale and benefits
under time bound promotion scheme. it is further
submitted that, on 6th August, 2002, Deputy Secretary of
GAD, Mantralaya, Mumbai, has issued Government
Resolution prescribing directive principles for appointment
of officers in Naxlite area and granting different benefits. In
the said Government Resolution, it is specifically stated
that, the employees who have already availed benefits
under time bound promotion scheme, are not entitled for
additional pay scale and benefits. The benefits of
additional pay scale availed by the petitioner are required
to be recovered as he has availed the said benefits contrary
to the Government policy. Therefore, there is no other
alternative for the respondents but to recover the same
from the monthly wages or from the pensionary benefits of
the present petitioner. The learned counsel appearing for
the respondent nos. 2 and 3 invited our attention to the
contents of the Government Resolution dated 06.08.2002,
which is placed at Exhibit-R2 of the reply.
15] It is submitted that, when the office of
respondents found that, the present petitioner has availed
the benefits of additional higher pay scale wrongly, the
::: Uploaded on - 09/03/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 10/03/2016 00:02:18 :::
5269.2012 WP+.odt
13
respondent i.e. Managing Director of STFDC on 17.09.2011,
has issued order of recovery against the present petitioner
along with other five employees. Amongst those six
employees, three employees have been retired from
services, employee at serial no. 3 Mr. N.B.Tumpalliwar has
filed proceeding under Payment of Gratuity Act before the
appropriate Authority, which has been allowed. Therefore,
5009/2002.
the present respondent no. 2 has filed Writ Petition No.
On 04.02.2013, said Writ Petition has been
disposed off by the Bombay High Court, Bench at Nagpur.
Apart from it, the order dated 17.09.2011, has been
accepted by other employee namely Mr. D.L.Gaikwad, who
is working as Branch Manager at Jawhar Branch office. In
support of aforesaid contention, the learned counsel invited
our attention to the copy of monthly pay-sheet for the
month of August, 2012, which is annexed along with reply.
It is submitted that, the petitioner has not
challenged the order dated 17.09.2011. Therefore, the
order passed by the respondent no. 2 is just, proper and
legal, and no interference is warranted by this Court and
the same deserves to be confirmed. The impugned orders
under challenge in the Writ Petition are not contrary and
::: Uploaded on - 09/03/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 10/03/2016 00:02:18 :::
5269.2012 WP+.odt
14
well within the four corners of law. That, the present
petitioner has wrongly interpreted the Government
Resolution dated 06.08.2002.
16] It is submitted that, the recovery initiated
against the present petitioner is not by way of punishment,
but for wrongly availing the benefits of additional higher
pay scale by the petitioner, when higher pay scale has
already been granted to him under time bound promotion
scheme. Hence, the question of conducting departmental
enquiry does not arise. Further the contention raised by
the petitioner in ground VI that, in identical case Branch
Manager at Chandrapur has availed all the same benefits
are not correct. It is submitted that, Branch Manager at
Chandrapur is already retired from the service and has filed
proceeding before the appropriate authority under Payment
of Gratuity Act. The order passed by the appropriate
authority as well as appellate authority under Payment of
Gratuity Act is / was under challenge in Writ Petition No.
5009/2012 before the Bombay High Court, Bench at
Nagpur. Recently, the said Writ Petition has been disposed
of observing that, findings recorded by the appellate
authority on point nos. 2 and 3 in the impugned order
::: Uploaded on - 09/03/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 10/03/2016 00:02:18 :::
5269.2012 WP+.odt
15
would not operate against the petitioner [i.e. respondent
no.2 herein], if the petitioner raises the said question before
a court or an appropriate authority. It is further submitted
that, the present petitioner has wrongly availed the benefits
of additional higher pay scale under the pretext that, he is
working in Nexlite area. In fact, benefits of higher pay scale
has already been granted to him under time bound
promotion scheme upon completion of 12 years of service.
Therefore, as per the Government Resolution he is not
entitled.
17] The learned counsel appearing for the
respondent nos. 2 and 3 disputed the entitlement of the
petitioner for the amount, which is mentioned in the Civil
Application. He further invited our attention to the
averments in the additional affidavit in reply filed on behalf
of the respondent nos. 2 and 3. He further invited our
attention to the averments in para 1 of the affidavit in reply
and submits that, total recoverable amount from the
petitioner is Rs.5,69,142/-, and the petitioner is entitled for
balance amount of Rs.6,85,908/-. It is submitted that, the
petitioner was working as Accountant in the pay scale of Rs.
1640-60-2600-75-2900/-. The petitioner has rendered the
::: Uploaded on - 09/03/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 10/03/2016 00:02:18 :::
5269.2012 WP+.odt
16
services on the same post for 12 years, and therefore, was
entitled for promotion to the higher post. But, the higher
post was not available / vacant; therefore, pay scale of
senior post of Manager Accounts has been awarded to him
in the pay scale of Rs.2000-60-2300-75-3200-100-3500/-.
18] It is further submitted that, while working with
the respondent on the post of account higher pay scale
under time bound promotion scheme has already been
granted and the petitioner has availed the same. While
transferring the services from Maharashtra State Co-
operative Tribal Development Corporation Ltd. - Shabri
Adiwasi Vitta Va Vikas Mahamandal Maryadit, the present
petitioner has lien over his services with the respondent no.
2. That, the petitioner has been posted as Branch Manager
in the same pay scale which he has already been awarded
vide order dated 27.01.2000. It is further submitted that,
the Managing Director came to know that, the present
petitioner and other five similarly situated employees have
wrongly availed higher pay scale for which they are not
legally entitled. Therefore, by order bearing No.854/2011,
dated 17.09.2011, the Managing Director passed the order
and withdrew the additional pay scale, and directed to
::: Uploaded on - 09/03/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 10/03/2016 00:02:19 :::
5269.2012 WP+.odt
17
recover the same from the concerned. This order is not
challenged under this Petition, therefore, the petitioner is
not entitled for seeking any relief against the respondent
nos. 2 and 3, therefore, the present Writ Petition is devoid
of its merits and deserves to be dismissed in limine.
19] It is further submitted that, in view of the order
dated 17.09.2011, the respondent no.2 has issued letter to
the petitioner on 13.04.2012. This letter has been issued to
him in the capacity and officiating the post of Branch
Manager at Branch office Kinwat. In the said letter, the
petitioner was directed to submit report about the recovery
of amount to the office of respondent no. 2 but instead of
submitting compliance report, the present petitioner has
approached this Court challenging letter dated 13.04.2012
bearing Outward No.1278/2012. It is to be noted here that,
the present petitioner has challenged the said order dated
13.04.2012 and order dated 29.05.2011 by which the
respondent no.2 has decided to recover the amount of
Rs.3000/- per month from the monthly salary w.e.f. March
2012. The implementation and execution of this order is
stayed by this Court during pendency of the Writ Petition.
Therefore, the amount could not be recovered from the

5269.2012 WP+.odt
18
present petitioner. Meantime, the petitioner has retired
from the services on 31.07.2013 due to superannuation. It
is submitted that, if the petition is allowed then
respondents will not be able to recover the amount which
the petitioner has wrongfully availed.
20] We have heard the learned counsel appearing
for the parties at length.
ig With their able assistance,
perused the pleadings in the Petition, annexure thereto,
affidavit-in-reply / additional affidavit in reply filed by the
respondents, the relevant Government Resolutions, and the
Judgments cited across the Bar by the learned counsel
appearing for the parties. It appears that, the Government
of Maharashtra, Tribal Development Department, issued the
Government Resolution dated 13th December, 1999, so as
to create various posts to start functioning of Shabari Tribal
Financial & Development Corporation within 100 days from
issuance of such Government Resolution. Out of the
requirement of 150 posts for the said Corporation, in first
stage, the Government has granted permission to create 72
posts. However, it is observed in the said Government
Resolution that, newly created posts should be filled in from
the employees of the Maharashtra State Co-operative Tribal
::: Uploaded on - 09/03/2016 ::: Downloaded on - 10/03/2016 00:02:19 :::

Development Corporation Ltd. It is observed in the said
Government Resolution that, the service conditions of the
said employees who will be appointed on 72 posts in
Shabari Tribal Financial & Development Corporation would
be same like the employees of respondent no. 3
Corporation, meaning thereby that the service conditions
would be governed by the same set of procedure / rules
applicable to the Maharashtra State Co-operative Tribal
Development Corporation Ltd. It is also mentioned in the
said Government Resolution that, the Managing Director of
the respondent no. 3 Corporation should look after the
affairs of the respondent no. 2 Corporation until further
orders. It appears that, on 27th January, 2000, the order
was issued by the respondent no. 2 whereby the petitioner
was appointed as Accountant in the pay scale of Rs.
2000-60-2300-EB-75-3200-100-3500/-. It is mentioned in
the said order that, by protecting the pay of the petitioner,
he is being transferred to the Shabari Tribal Financial &
Development Corporation Ltd. The said office order reads

lines for appointment of the efficient Officers / employees in
the Naxlite area so as to make administration in the naxlite
area more sensitive, functional and the said administration
should be made aware about the difficulties faced by the
people residing in the said area. In the said Government
Resolution, guide lines are laid down for appointment of the
officers / employees in the naxlite area. In clause 2 of the
said Government Resolution, the provision is made for the
officers / employees, who are already working in the tribal /
naxlite affected area so as to give them more facilities. In
5269.2012 WP+.odt
the said clause, there is provision in respect of paying
incentive allowance to the officers / employees working in
naxlite affected area, and the area declared as extra
sensitive in tribal area. The said officers / employees would
receive 15% of the basic pay towards incentive, however,
same should not exceed Rs.1500 per month. There is no
incentive provided for unaffected tribal area. The clause 2
(b) of the Government Resolution dated 6th August, 2002,

[emphasis supplied]
23] Upon perusal of the order dated 28th January,
2000, it appears that, at the relevant time, the petitioner
was working as Accountant with the respondent no. 3
Corporation, and he was transferred as Manager in the pay
scale of Rs.2000-60-2300-EB-75-3200-100-3500/- in
5269.2012 WP+.odt
respondent no. 2 Corporation. It was mentioned in the
conditions of transfer that, the prevailing date of joining on
the post held at the Maharashtra State Co-operative Tribal
Development Corporation shall be deemed to be the date of
joining for the services to be rendered with the Shabri
Corporation for seniority purpose. However, this condition
shall be confined to the employee who have been
transferred and joined in the month of January and
February 2000 at Shabri Corporation on the post of
Manager. It is also mentioned in the condition that, till the
final decision from the Government is received the lien shall
be deemed to be continued on the post pertaining to the
Maharashtra State Co-operative Tribal Development
Corporation. The petitioner has not brought to the notice of
this Court that, as a matter of fact subsequently separate
Rules are framed governing the services of the employees
in respondent no. 2 Shabari Tribal Financial Development
Corporation Ltd. Therefore, in view of the afore-mentioned
conditions while transferring the services of the petitioner,
the promotion granted to the petitioner on completion of 12
years service in respondent no. 3 Corporation cannot be
ignored. It appears that, the petitioner completed 12 years
of service in respondent no. 3 Corporation and by order
5269.2012 WP+.odt
dated 19th July, 1999, the petitioner was granted higher pay
scale of Rs.2000-60-2300-EB-75-3200-100-3500/-.
Therefore, in view of sub-clause [7] of clause 3 of the said
Government Resolution, the employees / officers who have
already got benefit of In Service Assured Progressive
Scheme, subsequently, second time benefit of Higher Pay
Scale is not admissible. The relevant portion of the said
sub-clause (7) of clause 3 of the Government Resolution
dated 6th August, 2002, reads thus:
"However, the employees / officers who have
already got benefit of In Service Assured
Progressive Scheme, to such employees benefit
of Higher Pay Scale shall not be admissible".
24] Therefore, the respondents are justified in
withdrawing the benefit received by the petitioner by virtue
of receiving higher promotional pay scale on transfer of his
service in respondent no. 2 Corporation. Admittedly, the
impugned order of recovery of the said amount has been
passed when the petitioner was in service. Therefore,
merely because the petitioner is retired from service on
attaining the age of superannuation, during the pendency
5269.2012 WP+.odt
of this Petition, cannot be a ground to ask the respondents
to stop recovery of the amount which the petitioner has
received on account of getting higher promotional pay
scale after transfer of his services to the respondent no. 2
Corporation.
However, it appears that, the petitioner, for
working in the partially affected tribal area, has received
some benefits, excluding the amount received towards the
higher promotional pay scale, the same could not have
been recovered by the respondents. The petitioner is able
to demonstrate that, the place i.e. Yavatmal, where he
rendered the services is included in the Government
Resolution as partially affected tribal area. The respondents
have given details of dues recoverable amount, and also
payable amount to the petitioner, in additional affidavit
filed on behalf of the respondent nos. 2 and 3 on 15th
January, 2016. In pursuant to the interim orders passed by
this Court, the respondent nos. 2 and 3 have deposited the
amount of Rs.15,69,210/- in the registry of this Court. It
would be apt to reproduce herein below the chart showing
details of dues recoverable from the petitioner and the
amount payable to him:

petitioner Shri S.S.Dhale
25] Upon careful perusal of the afore-mentioned
chart, there is no dispute that, the petitioner has already
withdrawn Rs.1,50,000/-, in pursuant to the order passed by
this Court. The respondent nos. 2 and 3 at serial no. 17 of
the said chart have stated that, balance amount payable to
the petitioner is Rs.6,85,908/-. Since the afore-mentioned
amount is not in dispute, we allow the petitioner to
withdraw the amount of Rs.6,85,908/-. After withdrawing
the aforesaid amount by the petitioner, remaining amount
should be given to the concerned respondent /
respondents. The concerned respondent Corporation shall
keep and maintain remaining amount separately, till the
5269.2012 WP+.odt
decision is taken afresh in the light of discussion herein
after.
26] In the light of the discussion in foregoing
paragraphs, we have reached to the conclusion that, the
petitioner was not entitled to receive the benefit of
additional / higher pay scale after his services were
transferred to the respondent no. 3 Corporation, in view of
the fact that the petitioner was granted higher pay scale of
Rs.2000-3500/- by order dated 19.07.1999, under time
bound promotion scheme. Therefore, the respondents are
entitled to recover the excess amount paid to the
petitioner, if any, since the impugned order has been
passed before the petitioner stood retired from the services
on attaining the age of superannuation. However, so far
amount towards incentives which is received by the
petitioner on account of rendering services in partially
affected tribal area is concerned, as per the provisions of
relevant Government Resolution placed on record, the
amount disbursed on said count may not be recovered by
the respondents. Upon careful perusal of the material
placed on record including the additional affidavit filed by
the respondent nos. 2 and 3, an information in respect of
5269.2012 WP+.odt
how much amount the petitioner has received towards
incentive for discharging services at Yevatmal, which is
partially affected tribal area, has not been placed on record.
Therefore, we direct respondent nos. 2 and 3 to hear the
petitioner on said aspect, and keeping in view the relevant
Government policies and the fact that, the petitioner has
rendered services in partly affected tribal area, shall
calculate amount disbursed to the petitioner, however,
excluding the amount disbursed to the petitioner on
account of payment of higher promotional pay scale,
during discharge of service by the petitioner with the
respondent no. 2 Corporation. Such exercise to be done as
expeditiously as possible, and preferably within 12 weeks
from today. We make it clear that, till such exercise is
done, and decision is taken by the respondents about
entitlement of the petitioner for receiving incentives on
account of rendering service in partly affected tribal area,
the respondent nos. 2 and 3 shall not utilize the balance
amount for any other purpose, and maintain the said
amount as indicated above. We make it clear that, in case
decision goes against the petitioner, petitioner may be at
liberty to challenge the said decision, however, restricted to
receive the incentives on account of rendering services in
5269.2012 WP+.odt
partially affected tribal area while working with the
respondent no. 2. Subject matter of enquiry and hearing to
the petitioner before the respondent nos. 2 and 3 stands
restricted only to the extent of incentives on account of
rendering services in partly affected tribal / naxlite area,
and not higher promotional pay scale, which was wrongly
granted to the petitioner contrary to the provisions in sub-
clause (7) of clause 3 of the Government Resolution dated
6th August, 2002.
27] Petition is partly allowed. Rule made absolute
in above terms. Petition stands disposed of. In view of
disposal of the Writ Petition, Civil Application is also partly
