I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioners as well as the learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-Corporation. When the matter is taken up for consideration, it is brought to my notice by Smt.B.G.Uma Devi, learned Standing Counsel appearing for the respondent-Corporation that having taken into consideration the fact that a batch of writ petitions have already been filed before this Court, the Corporation, by proceedings dated 22.7.2009, directed all the Depot Managers not to effect recoveries towards PF & EDLIF contributions, pursuant to the notification dated 13.5.2008, and therefore, the apprehension expressed by the petitioners herein is unfounded. A copy of the proceedings dated 22.7.2009 has also been placed before this Court, which shows that all the Depot Managers were advised not to effect recoveries towards PF & EDLIF (both Employee and Employer) payable in respect of drivers engaged by hire bus owners. In the circumstances, no further enquiry is necessary in this writ petition. The writ petition is accordingly dismissed.
