    The Madurai High Court admitted Colachel Municipality's writ petition challenging EPF assessment and recovery orders, finding a prima facie case on the key issue: whether assessment proceedings can proceed under the repealed 1952 EPF Act (Section 7A) or the new 2020 Social Security Code (Section 124) when the original scheme remains intact pending new scheme framing. The court granted interim stay of the impugned orders and consolidated the petition with similar cases, while preserving the petitioner's limitation period rights if an appeal becomes necessary.
