Ghare, Adv. for the petitioner. Mr. R.S. Sundaram Adv. for respondent sole. CORAM : SMT. VASANTI A. NAIK J. DATE : 18 th October, 2011. Heard. It appears that the petitioner has challenged the order dated 30th of August, 2011, passed by the Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner under section 7-A of the Employees’ Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, without preferring an appeal against the same before the Appellate Tribunal under section 7-I of the Act, as the Appellate Tribunal is not functioning at present. Shri Sundaram, the learned counsel for the respondent states that it is most likely that the Appellate Tribunal may start functioning within a period of six weeks. It is informed to this court that the filing of the appeal under section 7-I is being accepted even today. In this background the petitioner should approach the Appellate Tribunal against the impugned order dated 30th August, 2011 as the remedy under section 7-I is an efficacious remedy. The respondent should not take any coercive action against the petitioner till the Appellate Tribunal starts 2 functioning. The learned counsel for the petitioner states that the petitioner would immediately file the appeal under section 7-I before the Appellate Tribunal. In this background, the writ petition is disposed of in the aforesaid terms with no order as to costs. JUDGE Hirekhan.
