J U D G M E N T Radhakrishnan, Ag.C.J. This appeal is preferred against the judgment of this Court in O.P.25605/99. The O.P. was preferred seeking a writ of certiorari quashing Exts.P7 and P8 orders passed by the respondents. We notice that both the facts finding authorities have found that the appellant/petitioner had employed more than 20 workers in his establishment and therefore his establishment is covered under Section 7A of the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. In the circumstances, we find no infirmity in the finding of the learned Single Judge. Therefore, the writ appeal lacks merit and the same is dismissed. Sd/- K.S. RADHAKRISHNAN, ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE.
