The petitioner was aggrieved by the refusal to accept tax for reason of the contributions to the 1st respondent not been paid. The petitioner admittedly is the owner of four lorries bearing Registration Nos. KL-17-3616, KL-13-F- 4599, KL-13 J 2247 and KL-7-W-6066. The vehicles were purchased from third parties, on various dates in the year 2011, 2012 and 2013. The interdiction insofar as payment of tax was only by reason under Section 8A of the Kerala Motor Transport Workers Welfare Fund Act,1985, by which a certificate was necessary from the Welfare Fund Board for accepting the tax of the vehicles. The petitioner had from the date of purchase of the vehicles being remitting the up to date contributions to the Welfare Fund. The Board had demanded the contributions, which ought to have been made in the periods prior to the petitioner's purchase. The W.P.(C) No.28435 of 2014 - D 2 Board has filed an application showing the arrears with respect to each of the vehicles. 2. The learned Counsel for the petitioner contends that, the petitioner would satisfy the said amounts in instalments. In such circumstance, the petitioner shall satisfy the said amounts in five instalments starting from 11.12.2014 and followed upon the 11th of each succeeding month. If the petitioner produces the receipts evidencing payment of the contributions for the earlier periods, necessarily the same shall be given credit to by the 1st respondent.
The writ petition is disposed of.
