It is decided by a grant in aid department to recover the loss caused by a deceased employee from legal Heirs based on Public Accountant Act 1963. Whether the loss caused by the decesed can be recovered from the own property of the legal Heir which is not inherited from the deceased & is bought through Loan, if the legal heir is on service at the same department through compassionate employment scheme, whether the outstanding liability can be recovered from the salary of legal heir?. If so what is the procedure followed by the Grant in aid department?

A.Hi,
This would depend on the facts and circumstances of each case, loss caused is not generally recovered from people who did not cause it, especially if it is to be recovered through their self acquired property. However, we would be able to better assist you if you contact us and give us more details about your particular case.

A.Hi,
This would depend on the facts of your particular case, including how much is to be recovered, how the loss was caused, and whether the manner in which loss was caused allows for it to be legally recovered from the legal heirs. It is not normally an acceptable practice to recover the loss from someone who did not cause it in the first place.
