The complaint was filed against the respondents by the Provident Fund Inspector-complainant on the allegations that the accused had failed to deposit the employees share and employer's share of Provident Fund. The trial court vide order dated 19.12.2006 acquitted the respondents of the notice served upon them. Hence, the present application under Section 378(4) of the Code of Criminal Procedure, 1973 with the prayer for grant of leave to appeal by the complainant. After hearing learned counsel for the applicant, I am of the opinion that no ground for interference by this court is made out. The trial court, while acquitting the respondents held that the accused were not in arrears of any amount. The amount in question had already been deposited along with interest and no Crl. Misc.

D-2, the complainant department had reported that the accused were not in arrears of any such amount in dispute. Learned counsel for the applicant has failed to point out any misreading of evidence by the trial court. Hence, no ground for grant of leave to file an appeal is made out. Consequently, the application is dismissed. (SABINA) JUDGE August 12, 2011 Gurpreet
