Friends,
In RPFC versus Gill Contractor, the Punjab State Commission had directed the contractor to pay each worker Rs.1 lakh with 18 per cent interest for not depositing the PF contributions with the commissioner. They were also given Rs.21,000 as cost of litigation. The commission’s judgment stated “in case a big contractor is misappropriating the hard earned money of petty workers it is pity, and there should be exemplary costs so that in future such like contractors should not indulge in these types of illegal activities.”
The commissioner appealed to the National Commission but withdrew all the appeals to save trouble to the workers. In view of this, the legal issues and allegations of false challans were not considered by the National Commission.
Thanks
