Ltd. against the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner challenging CGIT-cum-Labour Court order dated 07.01.2021 in EPF No.138/2018. Dismissed for non-prosecution due to petitioner's counsel's non-appearance in both calls. No substantive adjudication, no precedent value on merits; useful only as an instance of dismissal for non-prosecution.
