No. 6633 OF 1998 --------------------------------------- Dated this the 22nd day of February, 2008. J U D G M E N T Petitioner approached this Court with certain grievances regarding recovery of contribution to the Kerala Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund. It is fairly clear from the orders that the petitioner did not get an opportunity before the first respondent. 2. Having regard to the facts and circumstances, I am of the view that it is only appropriate that the first respondent conducts a fresh enquiry with notice to the petitioner. This original petition is disposed of as follows: Petitioner will appear before the first respondent with all the available evidence on 01.04.2008. The first respondent shall thereafter complete the enquiry and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of another three months. The fate of the amounts deposited pursuant to the interim order will depend on the action thus taken by the first respondent. There shall be no further recovery in respect of the disputed demands till such time. KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE. smp KURIAN JOSEPH, J. O.P. No. 6633 OF 1998 J U D G M E N T 22.02.2008
