1. The only grievance raised by the petitioner in the present writ petition is that in the GPF account of the petitioner, there is a withdrawal shown of an amount of Rs. 1,86,900/- in the financial year 2017-18.
2. According to the petitioner, he has never withdrawn any amount during the said financial year and it has been erroneously reflected, thus he has been deprived of the said amount of GPF on his retirement.
3. Considering the submissions made by the counsel for the petitioner, the learned counsel appearing for the respondents submits that
since it is a matter of verification and inquiry, let the writ petition be disposed of directing the respondents No.2, 4 & 5 to immediately process the GPF account of the petitioner and inquire as to whether the petitioner in fact had made any withdrawal from his GPF amount during the financial year 2017-18 an amount of Rs.1,86,900/- or not and finalize it within a period of 90 days from the date of receipt of the copy of this order. If in the course of inquiry, it is found that the petitioner has not in fact made any withdrawal, appropriate step be taken to ensure that the amount payable to the petitioner is released to him promptly. At the same time it should also be verified as to who then has withdrawn the said amount and appropriate steps be taken.
4. With the aforesaid observations, the present writ petition stands disposed of.
