TRUE COPY P.S. TO JUDGE. C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J. -------------------------------------------- W.P.C. NO. 15521 OF 2004 -------------------------------------------- Dated this the 12th day of December, 2007 JUDGMENT Writ Petition is filed challenging revenue recovery proceedings for recovery of motor transport workers welfare fund contribution for the period from 1999-2003. Standing counsel for the addl. sixth respondent submitted that petitioner remitted contribution for 1999-2000. Even though petitioner has a case that vehicle was sold, petitioner has not contested the demand after receiving final determination order for the year 2000-01 on 28.6.2002. Similarly, even though final determination order for the year 2001-02 was served on the petitioner on 30.9.2003, petitioner has not filed appeal against this order also. However, for the year 2002- 03, the final determination order is stated to be returned by the postal authority as "unclaimed". Petitioner has not produced any proof of transfer of vehicle and permit to fourth respondent or fifth respondent or any other person. In the circumstances, and since petitioner has not filed appeals against final determination orders received by him, I decline to interfere in the matter. W.P. is devoid of any merit and is dismissed. (C.N. RAMACHANDRAN NAIR) Judge 2
