(ORAL) Prayer in the present petition is for directing respondents for opening/allocating the G.P.F. Account Numbers of the petitioners by converting the same from N.P.S. to Old Pension Scheme after taking into account the services rendered by them on temporary, daily wages and contractual basis. After arguing at some length, learned counsel for the petitioners submits that with regard to their grievance, the petitioners have already served a legal notice dated 20.04.2025 (Annexure P-14) but the respondents have not taken any action thereupon till date.
