The A/R is directed to bring any record of the previous year i.e. 2024 or 2025 in respect of any establishment and he is given time upto 04:00P.M. Instead of filing the relevant information as sought by this tribunal, he has placed the copy of the record of payment position showing wage months from 03/2016 to 02/2017 but it does not reflect to which establishment this statement belongs to. He further seeks adjournment as Sh. B.B. Pradhan has left the proceedings for attending the matter before Hon’ble Delhi High Court. Record further reveals that in spite of passing of nearly four months, department is unable to submit any documents as sought vide order dated 21.04.2026 & 29.04.2026. In these circumstances, respondent is directed to submit an affidavit that Form 24 cannot be obtained as it has been locked by the next date of hearing. Put up on 12.08.2026.

Present: Sh. M. Dias, Ld. Counsel for the appellant. Sh. Chakradhar Panda, Ld. Counsel for the respondent.

Order dated-03.08.2026

Appellant’s counsel submits that matter in regard to International workers is pending before Hon’ble Apex Court and is listed day after tomorrow. In that case M/s. LG Electronics has gone to the Supreme Court challenging the order passed by Hon’ble Delhi High Court which has taken a contrary view to the Hon’ble Karnataka High Court which has declared para of the EPF Scheme,

as unconstitutional. Counsel for the respondent objected to the contention stating that present matter is related to the impugned order passed under Section 14 B & 7 Q of the EPF & MP Act, 1952 and the appellant has already complied the order passed under Section 7 A of the Act.

Considering the above fact and the impact of constitutionality, it is not appropriate to hear the arguments in this case at present. Matter be listed for argument on 15.10.2026.
