*** HARSIMRAN SINGH SETHI , J. (ORAL) Learned counsel for the petitioner states that after the petitioner was dismissed from service, he was entitled for the release of the GPF (employee's share), which is also being withheld by the respondents on the ground that he has not given an affidavit that he will not challenge the order by which he was dismissed from service. Learned counsel for the petitioner further states that though the petitioner has already given in writing that he has not challenged, the order of dismissal, but even as of now the share of the petitioner in respect of the provident fund, has not been released. The prayer of the petitioner is for issuance of a direction to the respondents to release the employee's share of the provident fund, which was deducted from his salary, forthwith.
