He joined the service as a Conductor on 25.11.1980 and retired from the service as a Ticket Checking Inspector on 31.03.2017, as such, he has completed 36 years of service in the respondent Corporation. But, the respondent Corporation has calculated the provident fund disbursal amount for 32 years of service, instead of 36 years. In this regard, the petitioner has made several representations to the authorities. Since there is no positive action, he has filed this writ petition seeking a direction to the respondents to disburse the difference in the provident fund amount for the four years, along with interest at the rate of 6% per annum.
