Petitioners submitted Annexures A6 to A8 representations requesting the Society to recover the amount due from the terminal benefits of late Satheesh. They also submitted Annexures A9 and A10 representations to the 2^nd respondent requesting him not to deduct the defaulted amount from their salary.
