The petitioner claims that illegal deductions are being made from his contributory provident fund. He has made a representation in this regard but to no avail.

In light of the aforesaid submissions and without going into the merits of the case, the respondent No.4-Joint Commissioner and Joint Nibhandhak Sahkarita Chitrakoot Dham Mandal Banda is directed to decide the representation of the petitioner regarding return of the deducted amount as per law within a period of three months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order along with a fresh copy of the representation. With the aforesaid direction, the writ petition is finally disposed of. In case the matter is not decided within the aforesaid period, it shall be open to the petitioner to file a fresh writ petition. In that event the Court may determine the responsibility of the officer who had failed to comply the order of this Court.
