Court allowed Defendant 2's Order 18 application: the claim against Defendant 2 for March 2020 contributions disclosed no reasonable cause because Defendant 2 had resigned on 5.2.2020 and was not a director during the prescribed payment period for March 2020 contributions; Court refused Plaintiff's Order 14 summary judgment because disputed factual and documentary issues (effective resignation dates, nominee director status, indemnity/guarantee letters and involvement of third parties) created triable issues requiring oral evidence and full trial; costs awarded accordingly.

Defendants failed to adduce affidavit evidence establishing any bona fide triable issue; contemporaneous documentary evidence (Form E, payroll records, SSM searches and demand correspondence) established a prima facie case that the company incurred unpaid EPF contributions for Sep 2021–Jul 2022 and, under s.46 EPF Act, the directors are jointly and severally liable; therefore summary judgment under Order 14 was appropriate and should be entered for the Plaintiff.

The application was dismissed because the matters sought to be litigated were res judicata given earlier final summary judgments and prior dismissed applications, and because the EPF Act does not impose a legal duty to disclose employee account particulars so applicants lacked the clear legal right and alternative remedies necessary to obtain mandamus under s44 Specific Relief Act.
