PETITIONER AND The Employees Provident Fund Appellate Tribunal, Nehru Place, New Delhi and another. .....RESPONDENTS THE HON'BLE Ms. JUSTICE G.ROHINI WRIT PETITION NO: 9175 of 2006 O R D E R: Heard the learned counsel for the petitioner and the learned Standing counsel, Sri R.N.Reddy, appearing for the respondents. It is brought to my notice that against the impugned order, dated 2-03-2006, made under Section 7-A of the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, the petitioner has already preferred an appeal before the first respondent-The Employees Provident Fund Appellate Tribunal, however the same could not be taken up for hearing since no Presiding Officer is posted. Having regard to the facts and circumstances of the case, I deem it appropriate to dispose of the writ petition with a direction to the second respondent not to take any coercive steps against the petitioner for realisation of the amounts, pursuant to the impugned order, dated 22-03-2006, subject to the condition that the petitioner deposits 50% of the amount demanded within four weeks from today. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of. No costs. ______________ G. ROHINI, J Dated: 28-04-2006 Note: Issue copy by wire B/o KLP
