    Case Summary: WRIC 2706/2026 The Allahabad High Court found that EPFO's recovery of Rs. 3,01,697 in outstanding provident fund contributions (1970-1979) from petitioner Virendra Kumar Agarwal was illegal and unjustified. The court held that since the petitioner inherited no assets from the closed company (M/s R.R. Steel and Alloys), liability under Section 17B cannot be transferred to him. The recovery order dated 14.11.2025 was kept in abeyance; respondents were granted four weeks to file counter-affidavits, with the matter listed for further consideration. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
