DATE : 20th NOVEMBER, 2008. By this petition, the petitioners have impugned the order passed by the respondent no.1 on 31.01.2007 under Section 7-A of the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 and the recovery proceedings instituted against the respondent no.3 society in pursuance thereof. It is brought to the notice of this Court that there is an effective and efficacious remedy provided under Section 7(I) of the Act of 1952. The petitioners have approached this Court without taking recourse to the alternate remedy available under Section 7(I) of the Act of 1952. 2 For the aforesaid reason, the writ petition is dismissed with no order as to costs. All points raised in this petition are, however, kept open. At this juncture, it is pointed out on behalf of the petitioner that this Court had, while issuing notice to the respondents by way of ad-interim order dated 12.02.2008, directed the parties not to take any coercive steps against the petitioners. The ad- interim order dated 12.02.2008 is operational till today. In the interest of justice, the ad-interim order dated 12.02.2008 is extended for a period of fifteen days from today. The same would automatically come to an end after the expiry of fifteen days period. JUDGE APTE
