Whether an auto driver- self employed who is above the age of 60 is liable to pay welfare fund under The Kerala Motor Transport Workers’ Welfare Fund Act ?

........In short, the persons who are above will come within  the age of 60 years are no longer intended to be continued as members of the Scheme. To put it more clear, neither the Act, nor the Scheme does take care of any situation to provide benefit under the said welfare legislation to the persons who have crossed the age of 60 years. This being the position, the question is whether the petitioners herein, who have obviously crossed the age of 60 years, can be compelled to effect any contribution to the Welfare Fund/Scheme, when the Scheme itself stands against such persons to be members/beneficiaries of the Scheme.
