The order for the warrant was issued by Shadakshara Gopal Reddy, the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner-II and Recovery Officer at KR Puram in Bengaluru, as per reports from Deccan Herald. The legal notice stipulates that the warrant would be revoked if Uthappa clears the dues in full.
This development has drawn attention to the importance of EPF compliance and the legal consequences of failing to meet such obligations.
