3. Initially issued notice to accused No.1 and demanded

payment of dues. The accused No.1 fails to deposit

amount dues. Thereafter, an inquiry was held before

competent officer/authority, said authority has passed

an order with direction to accused No.1 to deposit

amount by issuing notice, in spite of service of notice

accused have failed to pay/deposit the aforesaid

amount within stipulated time. Therefore, they have

committed the alleged offence punishable U/s.14-A and

14(1-B) of Employees Provident Funds & Miscellaneous

Provision Act. The representative of the Employees
Crl.A.No.861/2024
5

provident fund Organization has filed complaint before

the Trial Court against accused persons.

4. The learned Trial Court after satisfied with materials

on record regarding allegations made against accused

in the complaint, took cognizance for said alleged of-

fence. Further, recording of the sworn statement has

been dispensed with the due to complainant is Govern-

ment servant.

5. On considering materials on record the learned Trial

Court opined that there is prima-facie case to proceed

against accused No.1 to 4. Accordingly, criminal case

has been registered against them in register-III and is-

sued notice. Accused No.1 is company, accused No.2 to
Crl.A.No.861/2024
6

4 are Directors of the accused No.1 Accused No.2 ap-

peared before the Trial Court through his counsel and

got enlarged on regular bail. Accused No. 3 has failed

to appear before the Trial Court. Accordingly, case

against them ordered to split up and separate case has

been registered against him.

6. Thereafter, one Manjunath examined on behalf of

the Department before recording charge/plea. There-

after plea has been recorded and read over to him. Ac-

cused No.2 has pleaded not guilt and claims to be tried.

Hence, case is posted for evidence.

7. In order to prove the guilt of the accused No.2,

PW.1 examined and tendered for examination before
Crl.A.No.861/2024
7

Trial Court. In support of of his oral evidence he has

produced 10 documents which are marked at Ex.P.1 to

Ex.P.10. Thereafter statement of the accused is

recorded U/s.313 of Cr.P.C. accused No.2 has denied

the incriminating evidence and not chosen to lead his

evidence, he has produced memo with documents

(resignation latter, acknowledgment latter and DIR-

12) while recording of his statement U/s.313 of

Cr.P.C.

8. On considering the oral and documentary evi-

dence and hearing of the parties, the learned Trial

Court has convicted the accused No.2 for alleged of-

fences and sentenced him to pay fine and compensa-

tion. The accused No.2 dis-agreed and dis-satisfied

with the said Judgment, preferred the appeal on the fol-

Crl.A.No.861/2024
8

lowing grounds that, the impugned Judgment and or-

der is not in accordance with law and facts. The Trial

Court has not properly ordered at the time of taking

cognizance and passing Judgment in question. The

Trial Court not considered the defence taken by the ac-

cused No.2.

9. Further contented that accused No.2 has not at all

the Director of the said department and he is not liable

to pay contribution to the Provident fund and adminis-

trative charges. He is not responsible for day to day

business. This aspect is not at all considered by the

Trial Court. The approach of the Trial Court is wrong.

The reasons assigned by the Trial Court lacks sufficient

materials and the documents placed by the com-

plainant Department with holds the important docu-

Crl.A.No.861/2024
9

ment. Therefore, it requires to draw an adverse infer-

ence against the Department. The Trial Court has

wrongly drawn an adverse inference U/s.305(6) of

CrPC. The Trial Court has wrongly convicted the ac-

cused No.2 based on vicarious liability.

10. The accused No.2 is nowhere connected to the day

to day affairs of the accused No.1. He was not at all the

Directors of the accused No.1 company. The impugned

Judgment and order is liable to be set aside by inter-

vening and interference by this court. Hence, prays to

allow the petition and set aside the impugned Judg-

ment and order of the Trial Court and acquit the ac-

cused No.2.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
10

11. After registration of the appeal, issued notice to the

respondent. In pursuant to notice, the respondent ap-

peared through his counsel .

12. Heard, both side.

13. The learned counsel for the accused No.2 urged

that in this case, notice as well as summons not served

on the accused No.1. Accused No.1 is a company. Ac-

cused No.2 was one of the Director. The accused No .2

has appeared in his personal capacity, he not repre-

sented by the accused No1 due to he is/was not direc-

tor of accused No.1 due to he tendered his resignation

from said post on 31.03.2016. The learned counsel for

the accused has drawn the attention of this court on

the documents produced along with the memo filed by
Crl.A.No.861/2024
11

the accused No.2 wile recording of statement U/s.313

of Cr.P.C It is specific case of the accused No.2 that he

has submitted resignation on 31.03.2016 from the post

of Director ship fo the accused No.1 Company. On the

same day the resignation submitted by the accused

No.2 is accepted by the Board of Directors of the ac-

cused No.1 company. This fact reveal form the acknowl-

edgment letter issued by the accused No.1. Further, it

reveals that the resignation is also submitted in form

DIR-12. Therefore, the Trial Court has wrongly foisted

the vicarious liability on the accused No.2.

14. Further the learned counsel for the accused No.2

drawn the attention of this court regarding proceedings

held before the Assistant Provident Funds commis-

sioner, Bengaluru. The said notice as well as the pro-

Crl.A.No.861/2024
12

ceedings is not at all intimated to the accused No.2. An

officers of complainant department has issued notice to

accused No.1 company only. At the time of occurrence

of alleged crime, accused No.2 is at at all a Director was

not responsible director of Managing Director of the ac-

cused No.1 company. This aspect is not at all consid-

ered by the Trial Court. Therefore, accused No.2 is enti-

tled for acquittal.

15. The learned counsel for the accused No.2 urged

that there is lot of contradictions in the amount claimed

by the complainant Department. This aspect is not

proved beyond reasonable doubt. Therefore, it creates

serious doubt in the case. The accused No.2 is entitled

for benefit of doubt.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
13

16. The learned counsel for the accused No.2 urged

that the complainant Department have initiated 13 dif-

ferent cases have been registered against the accused

No.2. They have clubbed 3 months contribution and

filed one case. Accused No.2 never signed a Managing

Director of accused No.1 or is not responsible for the

day to day business of the accused No.1 company. The

learned counsel for the accused No.2 drawn the atten-

tion of this court on Ex.P.4. It discloses that one Anil

Kumar is in charge and responsible for conduct of the

business of the establishment/accused No.1 company.

But this person is not made as accused in this case.

Therefore, the Trial Court wrongly foisted the vicarious

liability on the accused No.2.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
14

17. The learned counsel for the accused No.2 urged

that the sanction order granted infavour of one Mr.

Manjunath is not at all working at the employees PF Di-

vision Koramangala. This aspect is unequivocally ad-

mitted in his cross-examination. Further, he has not at

all a competent person to institute this complaint. The

complaint is filed by S. Manjunath. Therefore, it is un-

acceptable defence.

18. In this case, the learned counsel for the accused

No.2 produced the documents passed by the Trial Court

in split up case registered against the accused No.3

wherein the Trial Court imposed fine only, There is no

sentence order against the accused No.3. The Trial

court has taken different contention in respect of the

same offence. The learned counsel for the accused No.2
Crl.A.No.861/2024
15

heavily drawn the attention of this court on the sen-

tence recorded by the trial court at the time of hearing

on sentence.

19. The learned counsel for the accused No.2 dr awn

the attention of this court regarding non existence of

the accused No.1 company. They have not conducted

legal inspection, they have wailfully withhold the rele-

vant materials before this court. Therefore, it requires

to draw an adverse inference against the complainant

Department. The Trial Court has wrongly drawn the

adverse inference against the accused No.1 company. In

this case, the learned counsel for the accused strongly

relied on the cross-examination of PW.1 dated

26.03.2024. He has not stated any answer regarding

non existence of the accused No.1 establishment. The
Crl.A.No.861/2024
16

said establishment was strucked off on 20.08.2017 vide

ORC/ notice No.1 in Form-STK-5. The PW.1 pleaded ig-

norance over this fact during cross-examination. The

Trial court has not at all considered all these aspects.

In order to prove the guilt of the accused No.2, the com-

plainant Department mainly relied on the Ex.P.3 to

Ex.P.7. There is no authenticated document or notices

issued to the accused No.1 company is served or not.

The said notice issued in the year 2019. At that time,

the accused No.1 company establishment was strucked

off. Therefore, the present complaint is hit by section

305(6) of Cr.P.C. Therefore, prays for allow the petition

and set aside the Judgment and order passed by the

Trial Court.

21. As against this, the learned counsel for the com-

plainant Department urged that accused have willfully

failed to contribute and deposit amount as prescribed

under the Employees Provident Fund Act and its

Scheme . Accused No.2 claiming that he was not at all

aware about the proceedings held before the Assistant

Provident Fund Commissioner. One. Mr.Prashanth

represented on behalf of the accused No.1. According

to the resignation letter. The accused No.2 submitted

resignation letter on 31.03.2016 before that he was an

Director at relevant time. The claim of the complainant

Department is prior to 31.3.2016.

22. The learned counsel for the complainant Depart-

ment urged that one Prashanth represented on behalf

of the accused No.1 in the proceedings held before the
Crl.A.No.861/2024
19

Assistant PF Commissioner Sub Regional Office, Bom-

masandra, Bengaluru. This order is not challenged by

the accused persons before appellant authority. Said

order was passed on 09.08.2016. The said notice is

sent to the address of the accused No1. This is duly

served on them, as it reflects from Ex.P.8, demand no-

tice and another demand notice Ex.P.9. The accused

have willfully contributed to PF amount and adminis-

trative purpose.

23. The employees provident fund and Miscellaneous

Provision Act is social beneficial legislature. An em-

ployee of accused No.1 establishment cannot be de-

prived from their rights and benefits from their work

carried out with establishment. The plea recorded

against the accused No.2 is successfully proved by the
Crl.A.No.861/2024
20

complainant Department. The Trial Court has rightly

proved all these aspect and there is no grounds for in-

tervention and interference. Hence, prays to dismiss the

appeal.

24. In this case, there is no dispute that the accused

No.1 i.e., M/s. Mindrivers Systems India Pvt Ltd., was

in existence at relevant time/period i.e., amount was

not deposited within stipulated time.

25. By considering the above rival submission and en-

tire materials on record, the following points arise for

my consideration:

1. Whether the learned trial court has
wrongly foisted/extended the vicarious
Crl.A.No.861/2024
21

liability of accused No.1 on accused
No.2.?

2. What order?

26. By considering the materials on record and

hearing of the parties, my answer to the above points

are as under:

Point No.1: in the Negative
Point No.2: As per final order
……………for the following;

REASONS

POINT No.1

27. It is specific case of the a that, the accused No.1

M/s. Mindrivers Systems India Pvt Ltd., is established

as defined under the Employees Provident Funds,

Miscellaneous Provision Act. It is specific case that the
Crl.A.No.861/2024
22

accused No.2 and 3 are the directors of the accused

No.1 establishment.

28. The complainant’s specific contention is that the

accused No.1 and its Directors have not paid the

employees and employers PF amount for a period of 3

months from May 2015. Hence, the complainant

Department issued notice as per Ex.P.5 through RPAD

on 15.07.2016. Thereafter, proceeding held and passed

the order as per Ex.P.7 on 09.08.2016. This was also

intimated to the accused No.1 establishment through

registered post and also further issued notice to

defaultors as per Ex.P.9 on 30.08.2019. Thereafter,

present complaint lodged against the accused No.1 to 4

before the Trial Court.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
23

29. In order to prove the accusation made against the

accused No.1 & 2 one witness by name S. Manjunath is

examined as PW.1. PW.1 stated that he was working as

enforcement officer of EPFO Regional office,

Koramangala from July 2019 to May 2021. he further

stated that accused No.1 is private limited company.

Accused No.2 to 4 are Directors of the accused No.1.

The department has issued PF code

No.PY/BOM/1330438. The accused No.1 establishment

are company, it is bound to pay the employees and

employers contribution to Provident Funds and

Administrative charges from May 2015 to May 2016.

In this regard, they have issued notice and also held

proceedings against the accused No.1 and also issued

demand notice on defaultors.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
24

30. During cross-examination PW1 stated that from the

claim of the relevant period as 2015 to 2016. At that

time, PW1 was working as enforcement officer,

Bengaluru Central office, he was not in charge

Koramangala EPF Division, during the said relevant

period, wherein the accused No.1 or establishment was

situated.

31. Further, PW1 stated that he was not aware about

accused No.1 company. Further at the time of inquiry

and default period he was not working in Koramangala

EPF Division. Further stated that on the relevant period

accused No.2 was Director of the accused No.1

company/establishment or not.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
25

32. PW1 categorically denied that accused N.2 is

tendered resignation from Directorship on 31.3.2016.

Further he denied that suggestions regarding at the

time of relevant period accused No.2 was not in charge

of the Management of the accused No.1 company

establishment.

33. The learned counsel for the accused specifically

suggested there is no specifically mentioned regarding

details of employee. This share of contribution was not

remitted by the accused No.1 company. This

suggestions is denied and voluntarily stated that they

have consolidated the default regarding employees of

the accused No.1.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
26

34. The learned counsel for the accused suggested that

notice not served on the accused No.2. This suggestion

is denied in toto. Making suggestions and denial

suggestions is not at all evidence in the eye of law.

35. PW1 admitted he has not furnished authorisation

letter pertaining to authorising to lodged complaint

against the accused persons. Further admitted that

there is no statement of account pertaining to the

employees of accused No.1. PW1 was not verified

regarding existence of accused No.1 and also not aware

about whether the accused No.1 company was Director

on 28.04.2017. Further, he is not aware about the

accused No.2 has tendered his resignation on

31.3.2016.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
27

36. The learned counsel for the accused No.2 urged int

his case, that the complainant Department instituted

13 cases for different period. At this stage, this court

has relied on the section 219(1) of Cr.P.C. If accused

committed more than one offence within one year, the

said offences are tried together not exceeding 3 offence.

Therefore, in the present case, accused No.1 did not

contribute PF amount and administrative charges each

month from May 2015 to May 2016. Therefore, the

complainant department clubbed 3 months offence and

lodged separate complaint in 13 cases. Therefore, the

arguments canvassed by the accused No.2 regarding

consolidation of the all offences is not acceptable one.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
28

37. The accused No.2 has taken the contention that he

has tendered his resignation on 31.3.2016. In this

regard, he has produced the documents along with

memo while recording his statement U/s.313 of Cr.P.C.

all documents i.e., resignation letter acknowledgment

letter, form No.DIR-12, all are disclosing that the

accused No.2 tendered his resignation on 31.03.2016.

Ex.P.7 discloses that accused no.1 company not

contributed PF funds from May 2015 to May 2016. By

considering the said period accused No.2 was the

Director of accused No.1 from May 2015 to March

2016. This is relevant period. Therefore, he cannot

absolve his liability by relying on his resignation letter.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
29

38. The learned counsel for the accused No.2 urged

that the complainant company relied on the digital

evidence. The said digital evidence are not supported

with Certificate as contemplated u/s.63 of BSA.

39. I have carefully perused the entire Trial Court

records, it reveals that the complainant furnished

certificate as contemplated U/s.63 of BSA dated

23.02.2024. Therefore, Ex.P.4, Ex.P.6. Ex.P.8 and

Ex.P.10 are supported with the certificate. Therefore,

Ex.P.4, Ex.P.6, Ex.P.8 and Ex.P.10 even though they

are digital evidence, because the complainant cured the

defect by producing certificate as law laid down by

Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Karnataka

Lokayuktha Vs. M.R. Hiremath (AIR 2019 SC 2377).

Crl.A.No.861/2024
30

40. The accused No.2 has taken specific contention

that the notice not served on him. As this court held

that he was director of the accused No.1 from May 2015

to March 2016. Therefore, he required and bound to

get information of the accused No.1 day to business

being a Director before he submitted his resignation.

The contention regarding non service of notice is not

acceptable one.

41. Ex.P.4, Ex.P.6, Ex.P.8 and Ex.P.10 are disclosing

that the complainant department issued notice to the

registered address of the accused No1. Therefore, this

court relied on section 119 of BSA and held that notice

is properly dispatched and served on the accused No.1.

Crl.A.No.861/2024
31

42. The learned counsel for the accused No.2 has

taken the contention that he was not in charge or

responsible director of the accused No1. Therefore, this

court has relied on the Ex.P.4. The Ex.P.4 clearly

discloses that being a Director of the employers of the

accused he has mentioned the name of Anil Kumar for

in charge and responsible for conduct of business of

accused No.1 establishment. Therefore, he cannot

absolve his liability by deputing Anil Kumar as director

of accused No.1 establishment. In this case, the learned

Trial Court rightly observed regarding service of notice.

43. The learned counsel for he accused strongly relied

on section 305(6) of Cr.P.C. Therefore, this court has
Crl.A.No.861/2024
32

perused the Judgment of the Trial Court in question at

para No.22 to 26 and observed that accused No.1 being

the director and employer of the accused No.1

establishment he is bound to be responsible for day to

day business of the accused No.1 establishment.

Therefore, he represented the accused No.1 before the

Trial Court. The learned counsel for the accused No2

strongly relied that the accused No.2 appeared before

the Trial Court personally. The recitals of Ex.P.4 itself

discloses that being an employer of the accused No.1

establishment he has made arrangement for in charge

of accused No.1 establishment. Therefore, being a

director and employer of the accused No.1

establishment, he is bound to appear on behalf of

accused No1/Establishment. Therefore, accused No.1 is

the juristic in the eye of law, accused No.2 being a
Crl.A.No.861/2024
33

natural person he is bound to represent the accused

No.1, he cannot escape from his liability by using

technical tactics.

44. The learned counsel for the complainant

department urged that at the time of inquiry before the

Assistant PF Commissioner, one Prashanth. C.S has

represented on behalf of the accused No.1

establishment. This order is at not challenged by the

accused No.2 before the competent authority. The

learned counsel for the accused No.2 has drawn the

attention of this court to the complainant department

when corresponding the accused No.1 after the

resignation. i.e., on 19.07.2016. Accused No.2 being

director and employer of the accused No.1 company he
Crl.A.No.861/2024

is bound to verify the right and liabilities of the accused

No.1 before his resignation. Merely because his

resignation is accepted by the Board of Directors of the

accused No.1 establishment, itself is not at all a ground

for absolve of his liability.

attention of this court on the Judgment passed against

the accused No.3. After pronouncement of the

Judgment, the learned Trial Court registered split up

case against the accused No.3.

that important documents are with held by the

Crl.A.No.861/2024

strucked off on 28.04.2017 by submitted Form STK-5.

In this regard, he has not produced any documents.

Hence, he has show some relevant documents that the

accused No.1 establishment was strucked off in the

month of April 2017. it is the duty of the accused to

challenge the order passed as per Ex.P.5 before the

appellate authority. This remedy is not exhausted by
