The 3rd respondent determined<\/p>\n<p>contributions payable to the Welfare Fund, by virtue of<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 order. Since the petitioners defaulted payment<\/p>\n<p>of amounts due thereunder, recovery steps under the<\/p>\n<p>Kerala Revenue Recovery Act was initiated on issuing<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P1 notice. On the basis of request made by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners, the Government granted installment facility<\/p>\n<p>through Ext.P3 order, dt.20.1.2003.                    The stipulations<\/p>\n<p>contained therein was for payment of 20% of the<\/p>\n<p>amounts due before 28.2.2003 and to pay the balance in<\/p>\n<p>30 equal monthly installments.                     According to the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners, the first installment of 20% along with the<\/p>\n<p>collection charges at the rate of 5% was paid as per<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).8089\/09-              -2-\n<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P4 receipt. It is stated that thereafter the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>had remitted the entire amounts due under Ext.P1 order.<\/p>\n<p>But still the revenue recovery steps continued.       Being<\/p>\n<p>aggrieved the 1st petitioner approached this court in WP(C).<\/p>\n<p>No.16980\/08.     In Ext.P5 judgment, this court directed<\/p>\n<p>consideration and disposal of a representation filed by him<\/p>\n<p>and also directed to furnish him with a copy of the<\/p>\n<p>statement of accounts. Ext.P6 is the copy of statement of<\/p>\n<p>accounts furnished. Complaint was that no proper credit<\/p>\n<p>was given with respect to various payments effected by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners. Therefore the discrepancies were brought to<\/p>\n<p>the notice of the 3rd respondent.    Subsequently another<\/p>\n<p>statement of accounts as per Ext.P7 was issued, in which it<\/p>\n<p>is mentioned that interest to the tune of Rs.4,87,849\/- is<\/p>\n<p>outstanding payment. Since Ext.P7 does not reflected all<\/p>\n<p>payments effected, the petitioners have approached the 4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent for getting details regarding payments made on<\/p>\n<p>different dates. Ext.P8 is the details furnished by the 4th<\/p>\n<p>respondent. On the basis of Ext.P8 the 1st petitioner again<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).8089\/09-             -3-\n<\/p>\n<p>approached the 3rd respondent seeking corrections, and<\/p>\n<p>Ext.P9 is the reply given.\n<\/p>\n<p>      2.     The statement of accounts appended to Ext.P9<\/p>\n<p>revealed that payments effected by the petitioners to the<\/p>\n<p>tune of Rs.2,02,695\/- was remitted by the 4th respondent to<\/p>\n<p>the 5th respondent Bank on 30.6.2003.           But the 5th<\/p>\n<p>respondent Bank had transferred the amount to the credit<\/p>\n<p>of the 3rd respondent, only on 4.11.2006, i.e., after 3=<\/p>\n<p>years. Since the payments were not given credit at the<\/p>\n<p>appropriate time, huge liability of interest and penal<\/p>\n<p>interest had accrued in the account, causing heavy burden<\/p>\n<p>to the petitioners.    Grievance of the petitioners is that<\/p>\n<p>inspite of bringing notice of the above facts, the 3rd<\/p>\n<p>respondent is not prepared to rectify the accounts.<\/p>\n<p>According to the petitioners, they have remitted the entire<\/p>\n<p>amounts due, along with 5% collection charges and there is<\/p>\n<p>no outstanding liability.   But the 3rd respondent is not<\/p>\n<p>issuing clearance certificate for getting release of the title<\/p>\n<p>deeds under deposit with the 2nd respondent.           Since<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).8089\/09-                -4-\n<\/p>\n<p>representations filed in this regard was not considered, this<\/p>\n<p>writ petition is filed.\n<\/p>\n<p>      3.     In the counter affidavit filed by the 3rd respondent<\/p>\n<p>it is contended that the allegation of the petitioner is not<\/p>\n<p>true. Since the remittances reflected in Ext.P8 had not<\/p>\n<p>been accounted to the credit of the 3rd respondent at the<\/p>\n<p>appropriate dates, there is still arrears and the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>was treated as a defaulter.              It is stated that, on<\/p>\n<p>reconciliation of statements, it was realised that the amount<\/p>\n<p>collected by the Tahsildar during the year 2003 was<\/p>\n<p>remitted to the District Co-operative Bank, Mannar Branch<\/p>\n<p>(5th respondent) during 2003 itself. But the 5th respondent<\/p>\n<p>had failed to transfer the amounts to the credit of the<\/p>\n<p>Welfare Fund Board. The credit was effected only after<\/p>\n<p>long lapse, on the basis of specific requests made by the 3rd<\/p>\n<p>respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>      4.     It is evident that, relevant credits regarding<\/p>\n<p>payments effected by the petitioners were given, only with<\/p>\n<p>effect from the date on which the 5th respondent had<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).8089\/09-               -5-\n<\/p>\n<p>transferred the amounts in favour of the Welfare Fund<\/p>\n<p>Board. According to the 3rd respondent, the default was on<\/p>\n<p>the part of the 5th respondent and the 5th respondent alone<\/p>\n<p>is responsible for not transferring the amounts in favour of<\/p>\n<p>the 3rd respondent. As per the statement maintained by the<\/p>\n<p>3rd respondent, amounts are still outstanding payment from<\/p>\n<p>the petitioners and they were treated as defaulters, is the<\/p>\n<p>contention.\n<\/p>\n<p>      5.     In a statement filed by the 4th respondent it is<\/p>\n<p>mentioned that the petitioners have committed default in<\/p>\n<p>payment of installments as allowed by the Government, and<\/p>\n<p>therefore recovery steps were proceeded against. Learned<\/p>\n<p>Government Pleader appearing on behalf of 4th respondent<\/p>\n<p>had brought to my notice that a circular has been issued by<\/p>\n<p>the Chief Welfare Fund Inspector of the Kerala Toddy<\/p>\n<p>Workers Welfare Fund Board, instructing the officers<\/p>\n<p>concerned to open Bank accounts with the District Co-<\/p>\n<p>operative      Banks  in all   districts for remittance   of<\/p>\n<p>contributions, and directing to forward monthly statement<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).8089\/09-               -6-\n<\/p>\n<p>of such remittances to the Head Office.\n<\/p>\n<p>      6.     The 5th respondent in their counter affidavit<\/p>\n<p>conceded that the 3rd respondent was maintaining an<\/p>\n<p>account with the Head Office of the Bank since 1.1.1993<\/p>\n<p>onwards. It is also admitted that the 4th respondent had<\/p>\n<p>made various remittances on different dates during the year<\/p>\n<p>2003, totalling to a sum of Rs.57,000\/-, in the account of the<\/p>\n<p>3rd respondent. The Branch Manager has transferred those<\/p>\n<p>amounts to the Head Office on the same dates itself. But it<\/p>\n<p>is admitted that the amounts were kept at the Head Office<\/p>\n<p>in a &#8216;Suspense Account&#8217;, since the account of the Welfare<\/p>\n<p>Fund remained closed with effect from 16.11.2002 onwards.<\/p>\n<p>      7.     Considering the entire facts and circumstances as<\/p>\n<p>revealed from contentions of various parties, it is clear that<\/p>\n<p>remittances made by the petitioners pursuant to the<\/p>\n<p>revenue recovery steps were not given credit at the<\/p>\n<p>appropriate time. It is conceded by the 3rd respondent that<\/p>\n<p>if all the remittances were given credit on the appropriate<\/p>\n<p>dates of payments, the liability of the petitioners would have<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).8089\/09-               -7-\n<\/p>\n<p>been discharged. The arrears now alleged was only due to<\/p>\n<p>non-crediting of the payments effected by petitioners at the<\/p>\n<p>appropriate time. No default can be attributed against the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners with respect to lack of giving credit to their<\/p>\n<p>payments at the appropriate time. Therefore the petitioners<\/p>\n<p>are entitled to get a discharge with respect to the liability.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently they are entitled for a clearance certificate<\/p>\n<p>and return of the title deeds deposited.\n<\/p>\n<p>      8.     If the 3rd respondent Board is suffering any loss<\/p>\n<p>due to the default on the part of, either the 4th respondent<\/p>\n<p>or the 5th respondent in not transmitting the amounts at the<\/p>\n<p>appropriate time, it is for the 3rd respondent to work out<\/p>\n<p>remedies as permissible under law against those who are<\/p>\n<p>responsible. Merely because the 3rd respondent is entitled<\/p>\n<p>to resort to such remedies, the petitioners could not be held<\/p>\n<p>liable and they could not be restrained from getting<\/p>\n<p>clearance certificate and return of title deeds.<\/p>\n<p>      9.     Under the above circumstances, the writ petition<\/p>\n<p>is disposed of directing the 3rd respondent to issue<\/p>\n<p>W.P.(C).8089\/09-              -8-\n<\/p>\n<p>clearance certificate to the petitioners facilitating them to<\/p>\n<p>get release of the title deeds from the 2nd respondent. It is<\/p>\n<p>made clear that issuance of clearance certificate in favour<\/p>\n<p>of the petitioners will not affect the rights if any available<\/p>\n<p>under law to the 3rd respondent for proceeding against<\/p>\n<p>respondents 4 and\/ or 5, whoever is responsible for the<\/p>\n<p>delay caused in transmitting the amounts remitted by the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                          C.K.ABDUL REHIM, JUDGE.\n<\/p>\n<p>okb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court K.Edayabhanu vs The District Collector on 5 October, 2010 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 8089 of 2009(E) 1.
