Orders
Summary: The Calcutta High Court ordered the EPFO to refund excess pension contributions (made from November 1995 to March 2015) to 13 Airports Authority of India employees within 30 days, along with statutory interest. The court rejected the EPFO's argument that outstanding employer dues could be adjusted against employee entitlements, finding such action violated natural justice and constituted abuse of process, as the refundable amounts were employees' personal property funded from their wages. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
