THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 13/08/2008, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: S. Siri Jagan, J. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= W. P (C) No. 23693 of 2008 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Dated this, the 13th August, 2008. J U D G M E N T The petitioner is aggrieved by revenue recovery proceedings for recovery of contributions demanded under the Kerala Cashew Workers' Relief and Welfare Fund Act, 1979. The contention of the petitioner is that he has paid all the amounts due and no more amounts are due from him. 2. Learned standing counsel for the Kerala Cashew Workers' Relief and Welfare Fund Board submits that the petitioner has an effective alternate remedy by way of appeal under Section 10(5) of the Act and therefore he must first exhaust that remedy. In the said circumstances, counsel for the petitioner seeks indulgence of this Court to direct the revenue recovery proceedings to be kept in abeyance so that the petitioner can file an appeal and seek interim order in that appeal. After hearing both sides, I dispose of this writ petition relegating the petitioner to the remedy by way of appeal under Section 10(5) of the Act. However, I direct that revenue recovery proceedings shall be kept in abeyance for a period of two weeks so that the petitioner can file an appeal and seek interim order before the appellate authority.
