Board so constituted was a high powered Board who had to look after the Funds of the employees, working in private owned, semi Government and Government owned business concerns

Funds collected by the Institution, were in trust with them and the sole responsibility of the Board was to look after the rights of the beneficiaries of trusted funds; and it was the principle of equity that trusted amount could not be confiscated under the garb of limitation

If the contribution was of petitioner's deceased husband as well as its employer; and the law provided the protection of the retired employee as well as his survivors in case of his death, on technical ground of delay, the right of the widow of deceased employee, could not be denied; as in case of such denial, the very purpose of enacting the law would fail

Law provided protection to the old retired employees of an industry and also in case of death of employee, the pension and other benefits to widow of deceased employee.
