2017 (4) TMI 875 - HC - Indian LawsAttachment of immovable properties ordered by PF organization - priority over the dues - Secured creditors (Banks) or PF organization - Held that:- Inclusion of Section 31B does not change the position insofar as primacy of claim under the provisions of the EPF Act is concerned. The mention of Government dues which would include revenues, taxes, cesses and rates due to the Central Government, State Government or local authority would not take into its fold, the first charge created by operation of law in the form of Section 11(2) of the EPF Act. On the other hand, what is sought to be recovered by the petitioner-Bank from respondent No.2 is its debts which are included in Section 11(2) of the EPF Act and therefore, there is no hesitation in holding that the PF organization was within its power to issue the order dated 09.08.2016. The challenge, therefore, for quashing and setting aside the aforesaid order fails. The petition is dismissed.
