Issues: (i) Whether the impugned office memoranda and recovery proceedings could be sustained when the competent authority had not passed a fresh reasoned order after affording the petitioner an opportunity of hearing in compliance with the earlier judgment; (ii) whether the petitioner was entitled to quashing of the memoranda and a direction for fresh consideration.
Issue (i): Whether the impugned office memoranda and recovery proceedings could be sustained when the competent authority had not passed a fresh reasoned order after affording the petitioner an opportunity of hearing in compliance with the earlier judgment.
Analysis: The earlier judgment required the competent authority to re-decide the matter after giving due opportunity of hearing and to pass a reasoned order indicating the basis of acceptance or rejection of the claim. The impugned memoranda and recoveries were issued without such compliance.
Conclusion: The impugned office memoranda and the recovery proceedings could not be sustained.
Issue (ii): Whether the petitioner was entitled to quashing of the memoranda and a direction for fresh consideration.
Analysis: Since the impugned action was found to be inconsistent with the earlier binding directions, the proper course was to annul the memoranda and require a fresh decision in accordance with law after hearing the petitioner.
Conclusion: The petition was allowed, the impugned office memoranda and recovery proceedings were quashed, and the matter was remitted for fresh decision after hearing the petitioner.
Final Conclusion: The challenged administrative action was set aside for non-compliance with the earlier remand directions, and the competent authority was required to decide the matter afresh by a reasoned order after granting an opportunity of hearing.
Ratio Decidendi: When a prior judicial direction requires a fresh decision after hearing the affected party, any subsequent recovery or administrative action taken without a reasoned order and without affording that hearing is unsustainable and liable to be quashed.
