THESE WRIT PETITIONS COMING ON FOR PRELIMINARY HEARING IN ‘B’ GROUP THIS DAY, THE COURT MADE THE FOLLOWING:
ORDER R. DEVDAS J., (ORAL):
Smt.H.R.Renuka, learned Counsel takes notice for respondents No.6 to 8.
2. The issue that arises for consideration in these petitions is “whether the Provident Commissioner could be directed to pay the higher pension with respect to the retired employees and to receive the higher contribution as directed in R.C.Gupta’s case, while directing the KSRTC Employees Contributory Provident Fund Trust, to forward the contribution to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner along with accrued interest and whether such direction would cause additional burden or financial loss to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner?”
3. This Court, while dealing with the very same question in W.P.Nos.56819-57586/2017 and connected matters which were disposed of on 27.03.2019, opined that the decision in the case of R.C.Gupta and Others Vs. Regional Provident Fund Commissioner, Employees Provident Fund Organisation and Others reported in (2018) 14 SCC 809 would enure to the benefit of the petitioners.
4. The learned Counsel for KSRTC Employees Contributory Provident Fund Trust submits that the Trust has already forwarded the contribution on the ceiling limit and what remains to be forwarded is the balance amount which has to be collected from the employees and the same along with accrued interest is required to be forwarded to the Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation.
5. So what is required is that when KSRTC Employees Contributory Provident Fund Trust collects the balance amount over and above the ceiling limit, the same shall be collected along with accrued interest from the employees so that the same can be forwarded to the Employees Provident Fund Organisation. Therefore, it becomes incumbent upon the petitioners to approach the Trust to find out what is the contribution that is required to be paid along with accrued interest so that the same could be deposited with KSRTC Employees Contributory Provident Fund Trust, which would thereafter forward the same to the Employees Provident Fund Organisation.
6. The entire exercise is required to be completed within a period of six months from the date of receipt of a certified copy of this order. The respondent No.8-Trust shall within a period of six months from the date of receipt of the contribution along with interest from the petitioners forward the same to the Employees Provident Fund Organisation. The Provident Fund Commissioner shall thereafter pay the higher pension with respect to the retired petitioners or receive higher contribution from the serving petitioners, as directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in R.C.Gupta’s case.
These petitions are accordingly disposed of.
Smt.H.R.Renuka, learned Counsel, to file vakalath within four weeks from today.
