15. The loss caused to the public exchequer by the
employees of the department cannot be made good
from the victims but has to be recovered by the
department from its own employees who caused it.

16. In one of the earlier OA No. 507/2024 (Meeta
Bhasin vs. VOI & Ors.) related to the CGHS, Jaipur,
we had directed the Respondent No. 1. to look into
the state of affairs in CGHS Jaipur relating to the
transfer / posting of the applicant therein and the
posting / appointment of new Additional Director,
CGHS, Jaipur but noting seemed to have been done
for reasons best known.
But now since the public exchequer has suffered
and the humble pensioners have been made
victims, we go extra mile and direct Respondent No.
1 to inquire into the matter, from an officer not
below the rank of Additional Secretary and fix the
responsibility and attribute quantum of loss and
recover the same from those employees of the
department who defrauded the retired CGHS card
holders and caused loss to Bharat Kosh, within a
period of three months from the date of receipt of
certified copy of this order.
A certified copy of this order be sent directly to
Respondent No. 1.
17. With these observations and directions, all the
Original Applications are allowed on similar terms.
There shall be no order as to costs.
2. Learned ASG appearing on behalf of the petitioners placed
reliance upon the circular dated 21.07.2020 and submitted that all
kinds of contributions of CGHS beneficiaries are collected and
deposited through the Bharat Kosh Portal (online mechanism). He
further submitted that, except the Bharat Kosh Portal, no other
method was used to collect contribution from any beneficiary,
including the respondent(s)-pensioners. He further submitted that
the respondent(s)-applicant(s) had contacted a clerk named
"Shambhu" and allegedly gave him cash for deposit towards their
CGHS contribution, but as per the complaint and inquiry
conducted by the non-applicants (writ-petitioners), the amount
allegedly given to Shambhu was not deposited in the Government
account. He further submitted after receipt of the complaints
against Shambhu, the Additional Director under the CGHS Scheme
has filed FIR No. 442/2022 on 20.09.2022 at Police Station

Vidyadhar Nagar, District Jaipur City (North), under Sections 420,
409, 467, 468, 471, and 120-B of the IPC.
3. Learned ASG has submitted that they have taken all due care
in dealing with contributions towards the CGHS Scheme, and in
case any contribution is deposited lawfully they have given benefit
of same. He further submitted that several employees are working
in the organization, and no officer can monitor or supervise their
actions except those performed by them in relation to their duties.
He also submitted that if a clerk has collected cash with false
promise to deposit in the Government account and failed to
deposit, then he committed misappropriation and committed a
breach of trust, and such act is his personal act and not related to
discharge of official duty. He further submitted that the petitioners
(non-applicants) cannot be held responsible for the embezzlement
committed by an individual, on false promise. He further
submitted that if anyone takes a bribe or commits cheating, the
same is not sufficient to claim any benefit on the basis of such
illegal demand and payment. Lastly, he submitted that all persons
entitled to CGHS facilities are duty-bound to make payment of
contributions only through the Bharat Kosh Portal.
4. The aforesaid contentions were vehemently opposed by
learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent(s)-
applicant(s), and submitted that the Tribunal considering the
vicarious liability of the writ petitioners (non-applicants), opined
that the clerk, who was assigned the duty to collect contributions
from beneficiaries, had received the contributions and, instead of
depositing in the Government fund, misused the same,therefore,
the petitioners (non-applicants) are vicariously liable for the

actions of the clerk Shambhu. He further submitted that the
respondent(s)-applicant(s) may not be forced to the contribution,
as the respondent(s) had already deposited the contribution under
the Scheme in the office of CGHS. He also submitted that a fresh
demand would cause mental harassment and also financial
hardship to the respondent(s)-applicants, who are pensioners.
During course of arguments, learned counsel for the
respondent(s)-applicant(s) submitted the following table to show
how the contribution was made by each of the respondent-
applicant to subscribe the CGHS scheme. The table is reproduced
as under:-

5. Admittedly, after the OM dated 21.07.2020 issued by the
Directorate General of CGHS, Ministry of Health and Family
Welfare, all types of non-tax receipts, including CGHS
contributions for obtaining CGHS cards, are to be deposited
through the Bharat Kosh Portal. The Portal prescribes the
procedure for making payments online. The Office Memorandum
suggests that after 21.07.2020, no one in the office was
authorized to accept cash payments in any form. There is no
provision for deposit through cheque or demand draft.
6. The details submitted by learned counsel for the respondents
indicate that 18 out of 23 persons made payments in cash, and
most of them paid to a clerk, Shambhu. One person made

payment online to the account of Shambhu, whereas three
persons gave cheques in the name of an e-Mitra operator. The
details clearly indicate that no direct payment was deposited in
the account of the Union of India or CGHS.
7. The respondent(s)-applicant(s) are Government servants and
retired from the Post and Telegraph Department. The Department
of Posts operates postal offices, and persons working under the
Postal Department are well aware about the financial transactions.
Delivery of money to a departmental clerk or an e-Mitra operator
does not amount to deposit in a government account. The
material on record indicate that the contributions were made after
21.07.2020 and not before said date, thus, the case of these
respondent(s)-applicant(s) is not governed by the principle of
vicarious liability. Under the doctrine of vicarious liability, an

employer is held liable for acts of an employee not due to personal
fault but because of the legal relationship with the tortfeasor. The
employer controls the employee and derives benefit from their
work, and therefore have to bear the loss. However, such liability
depends on factors such as participation at a higher level and
authorization or abetment of the act committed by the employee.
8. In the present case, as soon as complaints were received, an
FIR was lodged, and a copy of the FIR is placed on record, which
indicate that on 28.09.2022, the Additional Director of CGHS filed
a report against Shambhu and others. The petitioners have not
received any contribution as per the circular dated 21.07.2020;
therefore, they are not vicariously liable for money given in a
personal capacity to Shambhu or the e-Mitra kiosk owner.
9. During course of arguments, learned counsel appearing on
behalf of the respondent(s)-applicant(s) admitted that the
contributions by the respondent-applicants were not deposited in
accordance with the circular dated 21.07.2020, however,
alternatively, prayed that the respondent(s)-applicant(s) be
permitted an opportunity to re-deposit the contributions so that
they may avail the facility under the CGHS scheme.
10. Learned ASG candidly accepted the offer made by learned
counsel for the respondent(s)-applicant(s) and submitted that the
petitioners would abide by the conditions imposed by this Hon’ble
Court for providing an opportunity to the respondent(s)-
applicant(s) to re-deposit the remaining amount after adjustment
of any deposit, if any, as per record.
11. Considering the submissions of learned ASG and learned
counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent(s)-applicant(s),

these writ petitions are allowed and disposed of in the following
manner.

the applicants in their OA or as applicable as on today, whichever

interest, or penalty from the respondent(s)-applicant(s).
