DATE : 16TH FEBRUARY, 2010 P.C. : Heard. 2. In substance the petitioner has filed the petition impugning the order dated 21.12.2009 passed by the respondent in an inquiry 2 under Section 7A of the Employees Provident Funds and Miscellaneous ’ Provisions Act, 1952. It is not disputed that the petitioner s’ establishment is registered with the respondents having brought under the purview of the EPF & MP Act, 1952 from 17.7.1988 and it has been allotted P.F. Code No. MH/90897. In this view of the matter, we are not inclined to entertain this petition as the petitioner has an alternative remedy of preferring an appeal under Section 7A(1) of the EPF & MP Act, 1952 wherein all the issues and contentions raised in the petition can be agitated. We, therefore, dismiss this petition with liberty to the petitioner to prefer an appeal if the petitioner so desires. 3. In view of the dismissal of the petition, the notice of motion does not survive. Hence, the same also stands dismissed. ( J. N. PATEL, J.) ( SMT. R.S. DALVI, J.)
