However, an amount of Rs.37,701/- has been reduced on the ground that the petitioner had taken some advance. According to the petitioner, he had already refunded the advance, as can be seen from Ext.P5. There will be a direction to respondents 2 and 3 to look into the matter with notice to the petitioner, since there is no counter affidavit. In case the deduction has already been made as reflected in Ext.P5, the eligible balance amount shall be disbursed to the petitioner with interest with effect from 31.1.2002, within a period of three months from the date of production of a copy of this judgment.
