APPELLANT AND The Assistant Provident Fund Commissioner Enforcement, Andhra Pradesh, Brakatpura, Hyderabad. .....RESPONDENT Counsel for the Appellant:MR.N.MOHAN KRISHNA Counsel for the Respondent : MR.R.N.REDDY The Court made the following Oral Judgment: (per Sri Devinder Gupta, CJ) Learned single judge by the order impugned has already given more than what the appellant-petitioner could have got. Learned single judge, despite the fact that appellant-petitioner failed to put in appearance before the respondent and suffered an order, has shown lenience in directing the respondent to hear the matter as regards the applicability of the provisions of the Act, subject to the condition of the appellant depositing half of the demanded amount within four weeks and till the matter is decided, he directed the respondent not to enforce the order passed by him. In the event of the appellant-petitioner not coming under the purview of the provisions of the Act, direction was issued to refund the amount to the appellant. With such an order, no interference is called for in this appeal. However, the period allowed to the appellant-petitioner for depositing the demanded amount has since expired, therefore, we direct that in the event of the appellant-petitioner depositing the amount within a period of four weeks from today, the respondent shall hear the matter and pass appropriate orders. The writ appeal is accordingly dismissed. No costs. ____________________ DEVINDER GUPTA,CJ DATE: 3rd March, 2005 _________________________ B. SESHASAYANA REDDY,J Pnb To 1.
