HONOURABLE SRI JUSTICE L. NARASIMHA REDDY WRIT PETITION No.2123 OF 2011 ORDER: The 1st petitioner is an Educational Society and one of the Educational Institutions, established by it, is the 2nd petitioner. The 1st respondent passed an order, dated 16-12-2010, determining the liability of the petitioner towards contribution of the Provident Fund at Rs.31,19,859/-. The petitioner intends to avail the remedy under Section 7B of the Employees’ Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (for short ‘the Act’) before the same authority. Accordingly, a review petition was filed on 25-01-2011. Its grievance is that the 2nd respondent is taking steps to recover the amount even while the application for review is pending. 2. Heard the learned counsel for the petitioners and the learned Standing Counsel for the respondents. 3. The Act provides for various reliefs in the form of appeal, review etc. If an aggrieved person or agency avails the remedy of appeal, it would be under obligation to pay 75% of the assessed amount. The petitioners are seeking relief of review. It is not in dispute that the petitioners are covered by the provisions of the Act. The adjudication, if at all, would be only as to the quantum. 4. Hence, the Writ Petition is disposed of directing that the respondents shall not take any coercive steps against the petitioners, in case, the petitioners deposit 50% of the amount assessed by the 1st respondent within a period of four (4) weeks from today. The review shall be heard only after deposit of the amount. There shall be no order as to costs. ____________________ L. NARASIMHA REDDY, J February 04, 2011. KTL
