Pepsu Road Transport Corp., Patiala vs Mangal Singh & Ors on 12 May, 2011
In any
view of the matter, the issue in the present case is covered by the judgment
in PEPSU Road Transport Corporation vs. Mangal Singh (supra) and we do not
propose to take any different view in the matter. Learned counsel for the respondents
has also contended that in so far as the outstanding amount of CPF is concerned the
said amount could have been deducted by virtue of Regulation 24 and which amount
is to be adjusted against death- cum-retirement gratuity. In the present case the
plaintiff having not opted for pension scheme, the requirement from refunding the
advance taken from CPF within six months is not attracted. More so, in the present
case as has been stated by the appellant in the written statement in the suit even after
retirement an amount of Rs.4999/- was due from the advance taken by the
respondents from his CPF amount.
