CWP No.17571 of 2006 1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH CWP NO.17571 OF 2006 DATE OF DECISION: 28-01-2008 Employees' Provident Fund Organization .....PETITIONER VERSUS Air Force Canteen, Halwara, District Ludhiana and another .....RESPONDENTS CORAM:- HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE HEMANT GUPTA HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE MOHINDER PAL PRESENT: Mr.Kamal Sehgal, Advocate for the petitioner. Mr.K.K.Thakur, Advocate for respondent No.1. HEMANT GUPTA, J. The challenge in the present writ petition is to the order dated 24-03-2005 Annexure P3 whereby the Employees' Provident Fund Appellate Tribunal has reduced the amount of damages payable by Air Force Canteen from 100% to 65%. The learned Appellate Tribunal has found that the damages could have been levied at the most on the basis of rates prescribed under para 32A of the Employees' Provident Fund Scheme, thereafter the damages were reduced by 35%, The reasoning given by the learned Tribunal to reduce the CWP No.17571 of 2006 2 amount of damages is fair and reasonable. Therefore, we do not find any illegality or irregularity in the order passed, which may warrant any interference by this Court in exercise of its writ jurisdiction. Dismissed.
