She joined in service in the year 1984 and later she resigned the said post on 31-7-2001. The petitioner contends that she is entitled for payment of Employees Provident Fund (for short ‘E.P.F.’) due to her for the period of service she rendered, from the 1st respondent. The grievance of the petitioner is that the 1st respondent credited only Rs.46,888/- on 8-10-2001 and did not pay the entire amount due to her under her E.P.F. Account. The petitioner further submits that she is not having any material to work out as to what is the total amount due to her. Therefore, she approached this Court, through this Writ Petition, after finding no response from the respondents for the letters written by her. In the light of the circumstances explained by the petitioner, the petitioner is directed to submit a fresh representation to the 1st respondent regarding the amount said to be due to her and on making such representation, the 1st respondent shall verify her E.P.F. account and work out the amount available to her credit, if any balance amount is payable to the petitioner, after deducting the amount of Rs.46,888/- already paid to the petitioner on 8-10-2001, make arrangements for payment of the said amount within one month from the date of receipt of the representation from the petitioner. If there is no amount due to the petitioner, a reply may be sent, enclosing the copy of the E.P.F. account to her. The Writ Petition is accordingly disposed of.
