THE HON’BLE Ms. JUSTICE G. ROHINI WRIT PETITION No.22923 OF 2006 ORAL ORDER: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned standing counsel appearing for the respondent. Though it is pleaded that the petitioner had moved an application before the respondent to set aside the ex parte order dated 3.12.2004 made under Section 7-A of Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, nothing has been placed before this Court to show that such application is pending. Be that as it may, the only grievance of the petitioner appears to be that though he made an application on 20.10.2006 seeking time to appear before the respondent, pursuant to the order dated 19.10.2006, the said request has not been considered, but in the meanwhile, steps are being taken to execute the arrest warrant already issued. Having regard to the fact that the application for extension of time has already been made and pending before the respondent, without expressing any opinion on merits, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the respondent to consider the application of the petitioner dated 20.10.2006, and pass appropriate orders in accordance with law within a period of two weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Till such order is passed, the arrest warrant shall be withheld if not already executed. The writ petition is accordingly, disposed of. No costs. ______________ (G. ROHINI, J.) 6th November, 2006.
