ORAL ORDER

(Pronounced by Hon'ble Ms. Lata Baswaraj Patne, Member(J))

Heard learned counsel for applicant and Mr. R. Syed Mustafa who appears and takes notice for the respondents.

2. By this OA, the applicant is praying the following relief:-

"To call for the records of the order of the fourth respondent dated 05.05.2023 and quash the same with the consequential direction, directing the respondents to repay the amout deducted from his monthly pension and pass such other order as this Hon'ble Tribunal may deem fit in the circumstances of the case and thus render justice."

3. When the matter is taken up for hearing, it is seen that the applicant has straight away challenged the order issued by the bank authority in respect of recovery without taking any steps to get clarification from the department how the recovery has been effected. Therefore, learned counsel for applicant submits that if the applicant is permitted to file a comprehensive representation to the respondent no. 4 and the same is directed to be considered, the purpose of filing this OA will be fulfilled.

4. In view of the above, the applicant is granted liberty to submit a fresh, comprehensive representation to respondent no. 4 within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. On receipt of such representation, the respondent no. 4 is directed to consider the same and pass a reasoned and speaking order in accordance with law within a period of two months thereafter.

5. OA is disposed of at the admission stage. No order as to costs.
