2.According to the first respondent, he retired from the Appellant Bank in the year 2009. At the time of retirement, he was working as Secretary of the Bank. His salary was fixed on the basis of the settlement arrived at under Section 18(1) of the Industrial Disputes Act. Following the issuance of G.O.M.S.No.186, dated 16.08.2002, his salary was revised. This revision of salary and order of recovery of excess salary was the subject matter of writ proceedings before the High Court. The High Court disposed of the petitions and issued guidelines to the effect that recovery should be made only after giving opportunity to the employees concerned. Infact, till the writ petitioner retired from service, there was no deduction of salary. Thereafter, the sum of Rs.1,34,231/- was deducted from the contribution made by the writ petitioner towards Employees Provident Fund. This was questioned by the writ petitioner by filing the W.P.(MD).No.4473 of 2012. The learned Single Judge by order dated 22.04.2014 allowed the writ petition and directed the refund of the entire amount so deducted. It is against this order, the management had preferred the writ appeal.
