JUDGMENT It is clear from the interim order issued by this court on 14.8.2001 at the time of admission that the petitioner was liable to pay only Rs.45,000/- as against the demand of Rs.75,000/- towards Toddy Workers Welfare Fund arrears. This court vide the said order directed the petitioner to deposit Rs.45,000/-. It is not known whether the amount is paid or not. In any case having regard to the contentions raised, it was the duty of the second respondent to file a statement in this court about liability. However, in the course of last six years, no statement or counter is filed by the respondents. In the circumstances and since the dispute is only with regard to quantum, O.P. is disposed of directing the second respondent to verify the actual liability and interest due from the petitioner and recover the same from the petitioner. The petitioner is directed to produce copy of this judgment before the second respondent. C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR Judge pms
