W.P.(C) No.29514 of 2004 .................................................................... Dated this the 1st day of January, 2008. JUDGMENT The petitioner is challenging Ext.P2 which is the order in appeal filed against final determination order of Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund dues. While the petitioner's case is that he is not the registered owner, the driver of the vehicle gave statement to the effect that petitioner is the operating owner of the vehicle and his brother-in-law is the registered owner. Since final adjudication order is based on evidence furnished by the employee, there is no scope for interference with the findings therein. The W.P. is devoid of any merit and is dismissed.
