THE HON’BLE MR JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY Writ Petition No.27776 of 2009 ORDER: The petitioner is an Industry, and is covered by the provisions of the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act. The factory premises belonging to it, are said to have been attached by the respondents 1 and 2, for non-payment of the dues of provident fund contribution. The petitioner states that, certain employees, such as respondents 3 to 6 have removed valuable parts and fittings from the factory, and have remitted the sale proceeds thereof, in their respective accounts. This writ petition is filed with a prayer to direct the respondents 1 and 2, to recover a sum of Rs.15 lakhs from respondents 3 to 6. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner, and learned counsel for respondents 1 and 2. The petitioner proceeds on the assumption that respondents 3 to 6 have removed parts, or structures of fittings of the factory, worth Rs.15 lakhs from the factory, attached by the respondents 1 and 2. No material, worth its name, is placed before this Court. It is not at all the duty of the respondents 1 and 2, to recover such amount from third parties. This much, however, can be said that they would be under obligation to redeliver the attached premises with the same condition, as they remained, at the time of attachment, whenever the petitioner clears the arrears. Hence, the writ petition is dismissed, however, directing that, as and when the petitioner clears the arrears of the provident fund contribution, and the attachment is raised, it can insist on the redelivery of the premises in the same condition, in which they remained, at the time of attachment. There shall be no order as to costs. ________________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J. Dt.21-12-2009. KO
