This query is : Resolved
History of the case: A person had made a complaint to Central P.F. Comm . which in turn was sent to Reg. P.F. Commissioner (RPFC) to take action u/s 14-B of EP & MP Act against employer for not having deposited p.f. contributions (employee + empr) due in the respective months from January 2002 to June 2002. Instead of sending notice to employer RPFC conspired with certain officials and employer deposited only the amount due and payable had it been deposited in the respective months of 2002. No interest as per S. 7Q of EP & MP Act was not deposited. The person had made complaints to CPFC, but no action was taken even though reminders were sent . As such made complaint to Secretary Labour, Govt. of India, in April 2011 – again no action was taken.
QUERY: Is there any limitation/ bar to file a case in the P.F. Tribunal u/s 7 I ( i.e. Seven i) or any other provisions and briefly state the procedure? Thanks in anticipation for early reply, please.

2)Who can all be Opposite Parties?
Thank you for your help.
