THE HON’BLE SRI JUSTICE C.V.RAMULU WRIT PETITION No.4572 of 2010 Dated: 25.06.2010 Between: M/s. Sree Surya Offset Printers, Rep. by its Proprietor, K. Sridhar. .. Petitioner. And The Assistant Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Regional Office, 3rd Lane, Krishna Nagar, Guntur. .. Respondent. ORDER: It appears, against the order dated 20.05.2005 on the file of the Employees’ Provident Fund Organization, Sub-Regional Office, Guntur, whereby the petitioner establishment was clubbed with another establishment viz., M/s. Sree Offset Printers and E.P.F. Code number AP/GNT/48795 was allotted to them, the petitioner filed appeal being ATA.No.32(1) of 2006 before the Employees Provident Fund Appellate Tribunal (hereinafter referred to as ‘the appellate Tribunal’) at New Delhi. When the appeal was posted to 18.06.2007 before the Camp Court at Guntur, there was no representation on behalf of the appellant, and, therefore, the appeal was dismissed for default on that day. Thereafter, an application, seeking restoration of the order dated 18.06.2007, was filed in the appeal. The grievance of the petitioner establishment represented by its Proprietor is that it has got fair chances of success in the appeal, but the Tribunal, without considering the facts and circumstances of the case, dismissed the appeal for default, by order dated 18.06.2007, and subsequently it also dismissed the restoration petition, by a single line order dated 06.05.2009. Aggrieved thereby, the present writ petition is filed. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent and perused the impugned orders and other material made available on record. Having regard to the submissions made by the learned counsel on either side and the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to set aside the orders dated 06.05.2009 and 18.06.2007 in ATA No.32(1)/2006 passed by the appellate Tribunal, on payment of costs of Rs.1,000/- to the A.P. State Legal Services Authority, and they are, accordingly, set aside and the appeal in ATA No.32(1)/2006 shall stand restored to the file of the appellate Tribunal, which shall dispose of the same, on its own merits, within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No order as to costs. _____________ C.V.RAMULU,J 25.06.2010 v v
