Alexander Thomas, J.

1. Aggrieved by the impugned Exts.P1, P3 and P5 proceedings issued by the respondent-Employees' Provident Fund authorities deciding on the coverage of the petitioner's institution as envisaged under Section 1(3)(b) of the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, the appellant-Kottayam District Co-operative Hospital Society Ltd., had preferred the Writ Petition, O.P.No.14067/2002 before this Court praying to quash the said impugned orders and for declaration that the appellant/petitioner Hospital Society will not come within the purview of the above said Act. The learned Single Judge, as per the impugned judgment rendered on 25.2.2009, after an exhaustive analysis of the factual and legal aspects of the matter, came to the considered conclusion that the challenge made in the Writ Petition is without any substance and the learned Single Judge thus upheld the validity of the impugned orders. Aggrieved by the impugned judgment, the writ petitioner-Hospital Society has preferred this intra court appeal by resorting to the remedy conferred under Section 5(i) of the Kerala High Court Act.
