Versus Union of India through its Secretary, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi and others. ……..Respondents. Sri Syed Nadim learned counsel for the petitioner. Sri Ashok Agarwal, learned counsel for the respondents. Date: - 14.8.08 Hon’ble B.S.Verma, J. Heard Sri Syed Nadim, learned counsel for the petitioner and Sri Ashok Agarwal, learned counsel for the respondents. The writ petition has been filed by the petitioner for quashing the impugned orders dated 30.11.07 and 4.3.08 (Annexure No. 14 and 16 to the writ petition). The learned counsel for the petitioner has contended that against the impugned order dated 30.11.07 (Annexure No. 14 to the writ petition) whereby it has been held by the respondent that the Employees’ Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 are applicable on the petitioner’s Establishment, the petitioner has preferred the appeal which is pending, and also moved the Interim Relief Application in that appeal that is also pending. During the pendency of the appeal, respondent no. 2 issued a notice on 4.3.08 to the effect that the Establishment is covered under the said Act and it is directed that the amount of E.P.F. of the employees be deposited within fifteen days at the end of every month. Since the appeal is pending for disposal, I am not inclined to entertain the writ petition. However, in the interest of justice, it is directed that the fourth respondent Employees Provident Funds Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi dispose of the interim relief application of the petitioner within one week from the date of production of certified copy of the order and also dispose of the appeal expeditiously as far as possible preferably within a period of six weeks from the date of the production of certified copy of this order. With the said direction, the writ petition is dismissed in limine. All pending applications stands disposed of accordingly. (B.S. Verma, J.) 14.8.08 RMY
