Decided on: Apr-17-2001

Reported in: (2001)2CALLT216(HC),[2001(90)FLR566],(2001)IILLJ744Cal

K.J. Sengupta, J. 1. The Rule has been issued in this matter. No opposition has been filed. Therefore the allegations contained in the writ petition are deemed to have been admitted. Mr. Moitra contends that his client does not wish to file opposition at this stage either.2. The short fact of the case is that on the allegation of failure to make payment of the contribution within the time an impugned notice was issued calling upon the petitioner as to why the damages on account of failure to make payment within the time should not be quantified and be not imposed. The petitioner was invited to make representation and to give answer to the said showcause notice which was done by the petitioner. However, the cause shown by the petitioner was not accepted and the concerned authority passed the impugned order imposing damages. The petitioner, of course, made an incompetent attempt to get the impugned order set aside by making a representation to the Director which in my view could not be e...
