Court in each of these cases. In view of the statement made by M/s. T. V. S. N. Chari and P. H.
Parekh, learned counsel for the respondents on behalf of some of the respondents that they have
paid all the arrears of provident fund in respect of which the prosecution was instituted we direct
that the prosecution against them shall not be proceeded with. If any of the respondents has not paid
all the arrears in respect of which the prosecution has been instituted they may deposit whatever
arrears are due from them on or before December 31, 1986 and if they do so the prosecution against
them shall come to an end. If they do not pay the arrears accordingly, the prosecution shall be
proceeded with. This order will not serve as a precedent as it is passed in the peculiar facts and
circumstances of these cases.

2. The criminal appeals and special leave petition are disposed of accordingly.
