2.It is the case of the petitioner that on 20.09.1976, the petitioner was appointed as Secretary in the 3^rd respondent Society through Employment Exchange. Thereafter, on 13.04.1991, he was transferred to the office of Tirupachur Primary Agricultural Co-operative Society as Secretary. On 31.05.2014, he retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation.

¶19

3.While the petitioner was working as Secretary from 20.09.1976 to 16.03.1991, the respondent has failed to pay Provident Fund for 14 years amounting to Rs.96,413/- which is remitted in E.P.F. Account No.297 maintained by the Kanchipuram Central Co-operative Bank Limited, Tiruttani Branch. On 11.02.2019, the petitioner had on various occasions approached the respondents, but is of no use.
