W.P. (C). NO. 6045 OF 2004
---------------------------------------
Dated this the 8th day of August, 2007.
J U D G M E N T
Petitioner approached this Court aggrieved by Exhibit P9
notice in the matter of proceedings under Section 14B of the
Employees’ Provident Fund & Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952.
2. Sri. N.N. Sugunapalan, learned Standing Counsel
referring to the counter affidavit submits that the petitioner was
given ample opportunities, but the petitioner did not turn up on
such occasions.
Be that as it may. Taking note of the entire facts and
circumstances of the case, particularly the contention that the
petitioner is still a sick unit, it is only in the interest of justice that
a further opportunity is given. Therefore, there will be a direction
to the competent authority to afford a fresh opportunity to the
petitioner before any further action is taken in the matter.
This writ petition is disposed of as above.
KURIAN JOSEPH, JUDGE.
