The petitioner has challenged the order at Annexure F dated 16.1.1995 passed by the respondent under Section 7A of the Employees' Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 ('the Act' for short). Now Appellate Tribunal has been constituted by the Central Government and alternative remedy by way of an appeal is available to the petitioner and as such the petition is not maintainable. In the result, this special civil application is dismissed on the ground of availability of alternative remedy of appeal under Section 7-I of the Act. In case the petitioners prefer appeal against the impugned order before the Tribunal within one month from today, the same shall not be dismissed only on the ground of limitation and it is expected of the Tribunal that the same is heard and decided on merits. The interim relief in whatever terms granted by this Court shall continue for six weeks from today and thereafter the Tribunal shall consider the question of extension or continuation of the interim relief in accordance with law. While doing so the Tribunal shall not be influenced by the fact that interim relief in favour of the petitioners is granted by this Court. Rule is discharged subject to the aforesaid directions with no order as to costs.
