No. 34928 of 2000 --------------------------------- Dated, this the 13th day of November, 2007 J U D G M E N T Even though petitioner is challenging the demand of Motor Workers' Welfare Fund on the ground that employees for whom demand is raised were joint owners along with him and counsel pressed the argument, there is nothing on record to prove the same. Learned standing counsel submitted that petitioner did not respond to the notice cum provisional order and the final orders served on the petitioner, against which appeal is not filed. In the circumstances, challenge against demand is rejected. 2. However, petitioner is granted one month time from the date of receipt of this judgment to clear the arrears with statutory rate of interest. No collection charges should be recovered, if petitioner makes payment voluntarily. If petitioner commits default in payment recovery can be continued. (C.N.RAMACHANDRAN NAIR, JUDGE) jg
