Opposite parties. ----------- 2. 21.04.2010 Heard learned counsel for the petitioners and learned counsel for the State. The grievance of the petitioners in this contempt application is that though the writ application was allowed but the observations/directions made thereunder is not being followed in letter and spirit. In order to appreciate the said submission it would be necessary to only note that this Court had on the basis of earlier order dated 18.3.2009 in C.W.J.C. No. 2 6183 of 2008 held that the petitioners cannot be treated to be newly appointed government employees so as to be denied the benefit of GPF or the other benefit which now been altered only in respect of the newly appointed employees in government service on or after 1.9.2005. The grievance of the petitioners is that despite the aforesaid clarification/observation by this Court the opposite parties are not deducting amount of provident fund from their monthly salaries which in turn is causing them financial loss by way of earning interest. If this be the only grievance of the petitioners, the opposite parties are definitely under obligation to look into this aspect inasmuch as deduction of subscription to the GPF amount of the petitioners which is only a resultant action to be taken by way of deductions from their monthly salary and depositing such deducted amount in the name of their P.F. account needs to be addressed expeditiously in order to avoid monetary loss to the petitioners. That being so, the opposite parties are directed to comply the order of this Court in letter and spirit by permitting the petitioners to have their own GPF accounts 3 and also making necessary deductions within a period of three months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order unless the order in question has been interdicted by any superior cousrts. With the aforementioned observations and directions, this application is disposed of. Kanchan (Mihir Kumar Jha, J.)
