... Respondents PRAYER:
Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India praying to issue a Writ of Mandamus, forbearing the respondents 1 and 2 from making Audit objections in their Audit Report in regarding with paying the banks contribution in LIC for Employees Provident Fund. For Petitioners : Mr.C.Prakasam For Respondents : Mr.L.P.Shanmugasundaram, Special Government Pleader(Co-Op)
ORDER
The relief sought for in this writ petition is to forbear the the respondents 1 and 2 from making Audit objections in their Audit Report in regarding with paying the banks contribution in LIC for Employees Provident Fund and pass such further orders.
2.The very relief sought for in the present writ petition in innocuous. There cannot be any negative relief can be granted in a writ petition. The competent authorities, who all are empowered to exercise the powers under the provisions of the statute can never be prevented from exercising their powers in a lawful manner.
3.No writ petition can be entertained, if such a relief is sought for in the absence of any material to show that the authority had acted contrary to the provisions of law. Thus, it is made clear that the authority, if committed any illegality or violations of the provisions of any law, then alone the writ petitioner would get cause for filing a writ petition. 4.On a perusal of the prayer as well as the grounds raised in the writ petition, the writ petitioner has filed the petition with certain apprehensions, which is premature. Thus, it is made clear in the event of passing any orders, affecting the rights of the writ petitioner, the writ petitioner is at liberty to approach the competent Appellate authority and thereafter, the High Court, in accordance with the procedures as contemplated. 5.
In view of the fact that the very relief as such sought for cannot be granted, no further adjudication needs to be entertained in respect of the grounds raised in this writ petition. Accordingly, the writ petition stands dismissed as the petitioner has not established any cause for granting the relief and further, the writ petition is also premature. No costs. Consequently, connected miscellaneous petitions are closed.
