S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO. 1847/2008 M/s Chhotu Motu Joshi Vs. Union of India & Ors. Date of Order :: 27.3.2008 HON'BLE MR. JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. S.D. Vyas, for the petitioner/s. ... The Assistant Commissioner, Provident Fund by a notice dated 1.12.2005 instructed the petitioner for production of certain documents to hold an inquiry to determine the amount due from the employer under the provisions of Employees Provident Fund and Misc Provisions Act, 1952. While assailing validity of the notice aforesaid the contention of learned counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is not an employer, thus, no proceedings could have been initiated as per the provisions of Section 7-A of the Act of 1952. I do not find any substance in the contention advanced. Yet no order as per the provisions of Section 7A(1)(b) has been passed by the authority competent, and therefore, at this stage it shall not be appropriate to examine the issue regarding applicability of the Act of 1952. Pertinent to note that as per the provisions of Section 7-I of the Act of 1952 the petitioner shall be having an efficacious alternative remedy of appeal on being aggrieved by an order passed under Section 7A(1) of the Act of 1952. For the reasons stated above the petition for writ is dismissed. (GOVIND MATHUR), J. Jgoyal
