TRUE COPY P.A.TO JUDGE S.SIRI JAGAN,J ===================== W.P.(C).No.4508 of 2004 =========================== Dated this the 30th day of November, 2007 JUDGMENT The petitioner claims to be the General Secretary of a union of Cashew workers. The complaint raised by him in this writ petition is that respondents 1 and 2 are not taking appropriate steps to realise arrears of Provident Fund Contributions payable by the 3rd respondent in respect of his employees. A counter affidavit has been filed on behalf of respondents 1 and 2 in which respondents 1 and 2 have detailed the elaborate steps they have taken for realisation of Provident Fund contribution due from the 3rd respondent. In view of the same, I am satisfied that the respondents have taken appropriate steps in that matter. Therefore, there is no merit in this writ petition and accordingly the same is dismissed. S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE dvs
