A declaration for repayment under a settlement scheme must follow due process to avoid illegality.

JUDGMENT

Dated this the 23^rd day of February, 2026 The relief sought is for a declaration that the petitioner is entitled to repay the outstanding arrears in his cash credit account due after deducting the benefits available to him under the One Time Settlement Scheme and that the issuance of Ext.P6 even without informing of the decision of the Adalat held as per Ext.P5 is highly illegal, arbitrary and violative of the law and rules rendering Ext.P6 as unsustainable and liable to be set aside.
