1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY NAGPUR BENCH : NAGPUR WRIT PETITION No. 5124/2009. ( G4S Security Services Pvt. Ltd. -: versus :- Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and another ) Office Notes, Office Memoranda of Coram, appearances, Court's orders Court's or Judge's orders or directions and Registrar's orders. CORAM : B.P. DHARMADHIKARI, J. DATED : DECEMBER 15, 2009. Heard Shri R.B. Puranik, learned counsel for petitioner and Shri R.S. Sundram, learned counsel for respondents. Challenge in this Writ Petition is to order dated 3.11.2009 delivered by the Employees Provident Fund Appellate Tribunal, New Delhi in ATA 730[9]/2009. The said order is under Section 7-O of the Employees Provident Fund and Misc. Provisions Act and the petitioner have been directed to deposit 50% of the amount assessed, as pre- deposit. Shri Puranik, learned counsel has tried to show to this Court that the total demand as made out is not sustainable in law, and he also for that purpose wants to rely upon the alleged defects in show cause notice and hearing. Shri Sundram, learned counsel has filed reply affidavit, and he states that all compliances were made and 2 total liability of Rs. 1,24,76,204/- has been worked out. He states that there is no breach of principles of natural justice. After hearing the respective counsel, I do not find it necessary to record any finding at this stage on merits of the controversy. The respondents have already attached amount to the excess of Rs.5 lakhs and the interest of justice can be met with by directing the petitioners to deposit amount of Rs. 25 lakhs more, with the Appellate Tribunal by 30.12.2009. If the amount is so deposited, the same shall be treated as compliance with condition of Section 7-O and the Appellate Tribunal shall proceed further with the adjudication of the appeal in accordance with the law. The appeal shall be disposed of as early as possible and preferably by 31.05.2010. With these directions, Writ Petition is disposed of. No cost. JUDGE Rgd.
