Vs M.VIJAYALAKSHMI [ RESPONDENT ] W/O.LATE. JENARTHANAN RASAPPA MUTHALIAR, STREET ANAIMALAI- 642104 Petition praying that in the circumstances stated therein and in the affidavit filed therewith the High Court will be pleased to To Modify the conditional order of this Honourable court dated 04/08/2020 in W.M.P.No.11786 of 2020 in W.P.No.9668 of 2020 in respect only to permit the petitioner to take fixed deposit in the petitioners credit society instead of any nationalized bank.(in W.M.P.No.15575 of 2020) Order : This petition coming on for orders upon perusing the petition and the affidavit filed in support thereof and upon hearing the arguments of MR.D.UDHAYASURIYAN Advocate for the petitioner and of MR.BALAN HARIDOSS, Advocate for the respondents the court made the following order:- Heard Mr. D.Udhayasuriyan, Learned Counsel for the Petitioner and Mr.Balan Haridas, Learned Counsel for the Respondent and perused the materials placed on record apart from the pleadings of the parties.
2.The Labour Court in the order dated 31.10.2018 in C.P. No. 139 of 2014, which is impugned in this Writ Petition, had on the basis of the audit report filed by the Petitioner which had been marked as exhibit R1 determined that the sum of Rs.3,39,041/- as due towards provident fund by the Petitioner to the Respondent. In terms of Section 78(2) of the Tamil Nadu Co-operative Societies Act, 1983, any provident fund established by the Petitioner ought to have been invested in its financing bank and could not form part of its asset or used for business. Since the Petitioner had not complied with the same, the Respondent had been constrained to approach the Labour Court to recover the provident fund amount from the Petitioner. As the conduct of the Petitioner has been untrustworthy, there does not appear to be any justification to modify the order passed by this Court on 04.08.2020 by directing investment of the amount due with the Petitioner itself instead of a Nationalized Bank, that would protect the interests of all parties concerned.
In that view of the matter, this application for modification of the order dated 04.08.2020 in W.M.P. No. 11786 of 2020 in W.P. No. 9688 of 2020 is dismissed.
