The dispute revolves around the recovery of an alleged excess expenditure of Rs. 11.42 Lakhs from the petitioners, Prakash Chandra Sahu and Kailash Kumar Shrivastava, who were employed in the Water Resources Department. The petitioners challenged the recovery orders, claiming they were issued without proper enquiry and in violation of principles of natural justice. The court heard the matter and is set to deliver a decision on the legality and validity of the recovery proceedings. The petitioners also claimed that their signatures were misused by another official, Shri K.K. Shrivastava, on official documents.
