I seek legal opinion regarding the possibility of salary recovery or termination in a government/PSU Legal Officer appointment. My factual timeline is as follows: - I was enrolled in a B.Sc. course at Magadh University from 2021 to 2024. Due to academic delay, examinations were conducted between August 2023 and July 2024. - During this period, I took admission in a BA LL.B. (5-year) program at North Eastern Hill University (NEHU) in December 2022. - I appeared only in the first semester examination and discontinued the course in June 2023 due to health reasons. I did not attend further classes, appear in subsequent examinations, or pay any fees thereafter, although I did not formally cancel my admission. - I subsequently completed my B.Sc. in July 2024. - Thereafter, I took fresh admission in BA LL.B. (5-year) at Central University of South Bihar (CUSB) in 2024, which is my primary and valid law degree. In this background, if I am appointed as a Legal Officer (e.g., through CLAT-PG) on the basis of my valid BA LL.B. degree from CUSB: 1. Whether the past technical overlap between my B.Sc. and the discontinued NEHU course can legally justify termination of service. 2. Whether such overlap, despite no dual degree and no benefit derived from the discontinued course, can be a valid ground for recovery of salary after appointment. 3. Whether absence of formal cancellation of the NEHU admission has any legal consequence in service law, particularly in the absence of fraud or misrepresentation. 4. Whether such a situation is treated in law as a mere technical/administrative irregularity or as a substantive illegality affecting appointment. Kindly advise with reference to applicable service law principles and judicial precedents.

The same story repeated is treated as abuse.
