EMPLOYEES PROVIDENT FUND ORGANISATION vs GOVERNMENT OF A.P. — C.A. No. 3342 - 3343/2007

The Supreme Court dismissed the civil appeals filed by the Employees Provident Fund Organisation against the Government of Andhra Pradesh, upholding the High Court's decision that provident fund dues get first priority over other debts. The Court harmonized conflicting provisions of the Andhra Pradesh Co-operative Societies Act, 1964 and the Employees' Provident Fund Act, 1952, holding that provident fund contributions must be treated as dues payable to workmen and employees, entitled to highest priority in asset liquidation proceedings.
