By means of this petition, the petitioner has sought writ in the nature of certiorari quashing the impugned order dated 10.03.2003 (annexure No. 1 to the writ petition), passed by respondent, whereby damages and interest were levied under Sections 14-B and 7Q of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Preliminary objection has been raised by the respondent that the petitioner has an alternative remedy under Section 7(i) of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. Since the statutory alternative remedy is available to the petitioner, therefore, the petitioner is relegated to avail the remedy of statutory appeal, as has been provided under Section 7(i) of Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952. The writ petition is dismissed summarily. (B.S.Verma, J.) 29-12-2010 S 2
