The demand under challenge is for motor transport workers welfare fund contribution for two workers. Admittedly, petitioner was in operation of stage carriage during the years 2002- 03 and 2003-04. Since petitioner himself was employed in the vehicle, he is excluded from the liability. The demand is only for two workers, who are stated to be registered under the Act. Therefore, the writ petition fails and is dismissed. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) jg
