Allahabad High Court in Metro Amusement Pvt. Ltd. vs. Union of India (WC No. 9281/2025) upheld the maintainability of a writ petition filed against the rejection of a review application under Section 7B of the Employees’ Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 (“EPF Act”). The Court rejected the EPFO’s argument that, since the primary order under Section 7A of the EPF Act was not challenged, the writ was invalid. Citing Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture and Technology vs. RPFC-II (2020), the Court held that since no appeal lies from an order rejecting a review under Section 7B, a writ petition challenging such an order is legally permissible.
