On 02.12.2019, this Court passed the following order: "Heard learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Dinesh Singh, learned Standing Counsel appearing on behalf of all the respondents. It appears that on account of incorrect posting made by the respondents in the Provident Fund Account of the petitioner, a sum of Rs.7,52,000/- was shown to his credit. The petitioner withdrew a sum of Rs.7,00,000/- from his Provident Fund account prior to his retirement. He has since retired from service on 30.04.2015. Lateron, it was detected that the posting in his Provident Fund Account was made in error by the office of the Accountant General and that led to an incorrect balance being reflected in the petitioner's Provident Fund Account, which he withdrew. Now, the respondents have determined that the correct credit in the petitioner's Provident Fund account is a sum of Rs.4,84,523/-. By the order impugned, the respondents have ordered the petitioner to refund a sum of Rs.1,61,631/-, which includes a sum of Rs.61,631/- towards interest. Considering the facts and circumstances of the case that the withdrawal has been occasioned on account of negligence of the respondents where the petitioner's says that he has withdrawn in excess a sum of Rs.1,00,000/- alone, a prima facie case is made out.
