ORDER

¶21

The above writ petition has been filed seeking a mandamus to the respondents to refund a sum of Rs.3,16,598/- which was deducted from the petitioner's monthly salary towards subscription of Contributory Pension Scheme along with interest for the delay in refunding the said amount.

¶22

The petitioner is an Ex-Army Personnel. He was appointed as SubInspector of Police in Bomb Detector and Disposal Squads in Trichy City on 06.05.2017 and joined the duty. His appointment is temporary and it is on contract basis for a period of minimum one year, with minimum scale of pay. The petitioner would submit that he is not eligible to receive any benefits viz., increments, pensionary benefits including gratuity as like permanent employees. His services was extended periodically from time to time. The authorities inadvertently had assigned CPS A/c.No.7000332264 and had deducted a portion of his salary towards CPS contribution. This runs to a sum of Rs.3,16,598/- for the period 2017 to 2023. Thereafter, the petitioner had retired on 31.05.2024.
