According to the petitioner, he is eligible to receive the total amount of Rs.23,19,217/- as retirement benefits, i.e., gratuity, EPF, earned leave salary from the third respondent. But the third respondent has paid only a sum of Rs.2,00,000/- on the date of his retirement and the balance amount is due. The petitioner has sent several representations and finally, through lawyer, on 20.09.2018. As his representations do not receive any response, this writ petition has been filed.
