Orders
The High Court of Bombay partly allowed the petition, quashing the EPFO's September 28, 2023 order to the extent it levied damages under Section 14B for the lockdown period (April 2020–March 2022), ruling the EPFO failed to apply its own May 15, 2020 circular exempting lockdown-period delays from damages. The school must deposit contributions for September 2019–March 2020 within three weeks, and the matter is remanded for fresh consideration of lockdown-period damages. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
