No damages for late deposit of P.F. when P.F. dept. committed delays in allowing P.F. code number to the employer.
Held: Levy of damages for the late deposit of provident fund contributions by an employer will amount to high-handedness and malfeasance since the employer has been persistently seeking the allotment of a code number from the Commissioner for depositing contributions. The delay has been due to the Provident Fund Authorities, so they could not levy damages for the lapses on their part.
Reference: Poona Shims Pvt. Ltd. vs B.P Ramaiah, Regional Provident Fund Commissioner and Anr. 2007 LLR 488 Bombay High Court.
