Surana, learned counsel representing the respondent Nos. 4 and 5. I hav e also heard Ms. P. Gogoi, learned CGC representing the respondent No. 3 as well as the learned counsel appearing for the Provident Fund Commissioner. It is submitted by the learned counsel for the petitioner that since the Provident Fund Commissioner has agreed to release all the admissible provident fund dues to the petitioner, the writ petition may be closed with a direction t o release the amount as early as possible alongwith the admissible interest. Mr. Surana, learned counsel for the respondent Nos. 4 and 5 submits tha t the employer having already paid their part of the contribution, in case of an y delay in releasing the provident fund amount to the petitioner, the employer c annot be saddled with any liability. In the counter affidavit filed by the Provi dent Fund Commissioner, it is stated that due to inadvertent mistake a part of t he contribution was not taken into account. In view of the above, the writ petition is disposed of with a direction to the Provident Fund Commissioner to release the admissible amount to the petit ioner. They may also consider as to whether the petitioner is entitled to payme nt of interest on delayed payment. This aspect of the matter is left open to be decided by the Provident Fund Commissioner taking note of the attending facts a nd circumstances and in accordance with law. Let the amount be released as expe ditiously as possible, but at any rate, not later than 31.12.2011.
