No.8510/2005-K ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dated this the 20th day of November, 2009 J U D G M E N T The petitioner retired from service as Selection Grade Lecturer in Chemistry on 31/03/1999. He was having a Provident Fund with A/c.No.1686. The main prayer in the writ petition is for a direction to the first respondent to release the mistakenly deducted amount from the Provident Fund Account of the petitioner immediately. 2. In paragraph (3) of the writ petition it is averred that there was non-refundable advance of Rs.25,000/- which was already deducted in his account for the year 1990-91 itself. But there was a subsequent deduction of Rs.25,000/- wrongly made by the second respondent. It is the case of the petitioner that there had been a double deduction of Rs.25,000/- causing a loss of the amount and interest thereon to the petitioner. 3. The first respondent has filed a counter affidavit in the matter. It is the stand of the first respondent that the non-refundable advance of Rs.25,000/- was already deducted from the credit card during 1990-91 and there was no double deduction as such. A detailed statement of account has also been made available in the counter affidavit. It is averred that the entire amount with W.P.(C). No.8510/2005 -:2:- interest upto date of payment has been released to the petitioner. An amount of Rs.46,395/- was sanctioned as per order dated 09/06/2005 subsequent to the filing of the writ petition, which is evident from the statement itself. The petitioner has not filed any reply to the statement. in the light of the above, the writ petition is closed. If the petitioner has any subsisting grievances, he will be free to take up the same before the first respondent. No costs. (T.R. Ramachandran Nair, Judge.) ms
