The writ petition is filed in 2005 challenging coercive steps
taken for recovery of provident fund arrears due from petitioner.
Recovery proceedings taken in the form of attachment of vehicle
and other properties of the school led to certain untoward incidents
in the school. This Court directed the Director General of Police to
conduct enquiry and file a report in this Court. Pursuant to the said
direction the Superintendent of Police has filed a report stating that
several crime cases were filed pursuant to complaints from the
school authorities. Much of the grievances of the petitioner are
redressed because of registration of crime against some of the
respondents. The balance prayer is only for installment facility for
clearing the arrears. I do not think there is any scope for this court
to consider installment facility for clearing the arrears of provident
fund, which was due in 2005. If petitioner does not make payment,
recovery can be made by following the procedure prescribed under
the Act and Rules. The writ petition is accordingly closed.
