( Heard learned counsel for the parties and perused the record. Learned counsel for the petitioner seeks permission to delete the respondent no.1 from the array of respondents. Permitted. Necessary amendments be incorporated in the array of parties during the course of the day. By means of this writ petition, the petitioner has sought the following relief:- A- To issue a writ order in the nature of certiorari to quash the order dated 2.9.2003 passed by the respondent no.3 (Annexure No.8 to the writ petition). B- To issue a writ order or direction in the nature of mandamus directing the respondent no.1 to 3 not to make any recovery regarding damages levied by way of order dated 2.9.2003 (Annexure No.8). C-To issue any writ order or direction which this Hon’ble Court may deem fit and proper in the circumstances of the case. D-To award the cost of petition. A perusal of the record shows that the impugned order dated 2-9-2003 has been passed by the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Uttaranchal under Sections 14B and 7Q of the 2 Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (for short the Act). Learned counsel for the respondents has drawn attention of this Court that alternate statutory remedy of filing appeal under Section 7I of the Act is available to the petitioner, therefore, the petitioner may be relegated to avail the said remedy before the Tribunal. I have perused the provision of Section 7I of the Act, which reads as under:- “7I. Appeals to Tribunal.- (1) Any person aggrieved by a notification issued by the Central Government, or an order passed by the Central Government or any authority, under the proviso to sub- section (3), or sub-section (4) of section 1, or section 3, or sub- section(1) of section 7A, or section 7B [except an order rejecting an application for review referred to in sub-section (5) thereof], or section 7C, or section 14B, may prefer an appeal to a Tribunal against such notification or order. (2) Every appeal under sub-section (1) shall be filed in such form and manner, within such time and be accompanied by such fees, as may be prescribed.” In view of the provision of Section 7I of the Act, the petitioner is given liberty to file appeal before the Tribunal concerned within a period of 30 days from today. Interim order dated 23-12-2003 passed by this Court shall continue for a period of 30 days. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. (B.S.Verma,J.) RCP
