SC FOR EPF SMT. T.N. GIRIJA THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 09/01/2009, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC,J. ----------------------- W.P.(C).No.852 OF 2009 ------------------------ Dated this the 9th day of January, 2009. JUDGMENT By Ext.P1, proceedings were initiated against the petitioner under Section 7A of the Employees Provident Fund and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 1952. According to the counsel for the petitioner, on appearing before the first respondent, the petitioner sought copies of the documents relied on against him. It is stated that under the cover of Ext.P2, certain documents were forwarded to him and that those were not the documents which he asked for. It is therefore the writ petition is filed praying for a direction to the respondent to furnish the petitioner the copies of the documents which are relied on by the respondent against the petitioner. Going by the pleadings in the writ petition it is not possible to conclude that the petitioner has made any WP(c).No.852/09 /2/ formal application before the respondent, requiring him to make available copies of the documents relied on against him. However, the fact remains that under the cover of Ext.P2 certain documents have also been sent. Since the complaint of the petitioner is that documents sent were not those he asked for, I direct that it will be open to the petitioner to make a formal application to the respondent, specifying the documents which he needs, in which case the respondent shall furnish the petitioner copies of those documents before further proceedings are taken. Writ Petition is disposed of as above. (ANTONY DOMINIC) JUDGE vi/ WP(c).No.852/09 /2/
