What is this about?
The Court distinguished the Supreme Court judgment in Rafiq Masih, holding it inapplicable to excess General Provident Fund withdrawals.

The Court granted retired petitioners an opportunity of hearing before recovery orders were enforced.
What did the court decide?
Petitioners directed to file responses within 12 weeks; authorities to pass speaking orders within 4 months.
