Per contra, learned counsel for the respondents opposed the prayer and submitted that a proper contribution has not been made by M/s Ajmer Central Cooperative Bank Limited, Ajmer, upon which, correspondence were made and thus, the retiral dues of the petitioner have not been determined and under these circumstances, the only remedy available to the petitioner is to approach the Appellate Authority in terms of Clause 7-I of the Act of 1952.

Heard and considered the submissions made at Bar and perused the material available on the record. 5. Looking to the prayer made by the counsel for the petitioner in the writ petition that there is no dispute with regard to determination of the retiral dues of the petitioner and the retiral dues of the petitioner have not been released so far on certain technical counts i.e. a mismatch in the name of father of the petitioner in official record and contribution for specific period, hence, under these circumstances, provisions of Section 7-A are not applicable in the present case.
