TO JUDGE rs T.R.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, J * * * * * * * * * * * * * W.P.C.No.11342 of 2006 ---------------------------------------- Dated this the 25th day of January 2011 J U D G M E N T The writ petition was filed seeking for a direction to the 4th respondent to accept tax of the petitioner for the quarter 01/04/2006 to 13/6/2006 on the basis of Ext.P2 certificate issued by the 3rd respondent. 2. The petitioner's contention is that the petitioner is not coming under the Motor Workers Welfare Fund Scheme and he is covered under the Employees Provident Fund Scheme. Accordingly, it was contended that the petitioner is not liable to produce the payment of Motor Workers Welfare Fund quantum. This Court had passed an interim order on 09/06/2006 directing to receive tax from the petitioner without insisting on production of receipt from the Motor Workers Welfare Fund Board. 3. Since the period covered by the same is over and the tax was accepted now the matter has become infructuous. The questions raised are left open. This writ petition is dismissed recording the interim order.
