Syed Abdullah, Member—The appellant is the unsuccessful complainant in CD 144/2004 before the District Forum, Nizamabad, whereunder the complainant filed against the OP claiming pensionary benefits under PF Act was dismissed. Questioning the legality and propriety of the order this appeal is filed to direct the respondent to pay the pensionary benefits under PF scheme.

2. Briefly stated the facts of the case are that the complainant was a Beedi worker and used to work under the OP1 branch. The complainant is an illiterate so she used to attend to beedi rolling work and she worked from May, 93 to August, 2000. On attaining the age of 58 years, and on the compulsion of OP1 ceasing her membership she resigned the job of beedi rolling worker. During her employment she was allotted PF No. AP/17070/22297by the authorities. As per rules, in case, the worker completes 58 years the worker is eligible for pension. At the time of submitting the papers opting for the pension scheme, the OP 1 with a mala fide intention to deprive pensionary benefits to the complainant had showed her date of birth as 1.5.1973 instead of 1.5.1943. The pass book issued by the OP1 shows the date of birth mentio
