1 lpa191.11 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE OF BOMBAY, BENCH AT AURANGABAD LETTERS PATENT APPEAL NO. 191 OF 2011 IN WRIT PETITION NO. 163 OF 2011 M/s Dhoot Transmission Pvt. Ltd., ..APPELLANT VERSUS The Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Aurangabad. ..RESPONDENT ..... Shri T.K. Prabhakaran, Advocate for appellant. ..... (CORAM : SMT. NISHITA MHATRE AND M.T. JOSHI, JJ. DATED : 10th June, 2011. PER COURT : 1. The appellant has challenged the order passed by the learned Single Judge of this Court, by which Writ Petition no. 163 of 2011 has been partly allowed and the Writ Petition No. 8423 of 2010 has been dismissed, as infructuous. The main grievances of the appellant appear to be (1) that the learned Single Judge has directed that the amount, which has already been deposited in this Court by the appellant, should be retained in this Court and the party, who would be found entitled to it at the end of an enquiry conducted under Section 7A of the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, should be 2 lpa191.11 permitted to withdraw the same; (2) that the Provident Fund Authorities have commenced an enquiry under Section 7A without complying with the provisions of Section 13 of the aforesaid Act. 2. In our opinion, the direction of the learned Single Judge that the amount should be retained in this Court till the enquiry under Section 7A is completed, cannot be faulted with. As regards the question as to whether the proceedings under Section 7A of the Act have been commenced without an enquiry under Section 13 of the Act, it is an issue which can be raised by the appellant before the Provident Fund Commissioner, while answering the proceedings under Section 7A of the Act. 3. Letters Patent Appeal dismissed, accordingly. (M.T. JOSHI, J.) (SMT. NISHITA MHATRE, J.) ga s/lpa191.11
