(1.) THE Petitioner has filed the instant petition with a prayer that the amount which the Respondents have partially withheld and recovered from his G.P.F dues alongwith interest amounting to Rs. 51,356/ - be directed to be disbursed to him alongwith interest at the rate of 15% per annum from March, 2009 till its actual realisation.
(2.) THE case of the Petitioner is that the Respondents have deducted this amount on the plea that there were some excess amount paid to the Petitioner amounting to Rs. 14,662/ - in the year 1995 -96 and the Respondents had recovered this amount alongwith interest which when calculated came to Rs. 51,356/ -.
(3.) LEARNED Counsel for the Respondents have controverted the contentions which have been raised before this Court to say that the amount was paid to the Petitioner in excess which upon realisation was deducted from his GPF account and this amount of Rs. 14,662/ - was an erroneous entry made in his account and did not pertain to any benefit to which Petitioner was legally entitled to.
