and legal ? If not, to what relief is, the workman

2. The main aveiments found in the Claim Statement of
th; petitions aie as follows : The petitioner was appointed
as a Substitute
Bungalow Luscar
in
the pay
scale
o£
R:,. 19ft—232 by an Order dated 6-I-19S2. Ho was to work
ua a Substitute Bungalow Luscai to the Deputy Chief Mecha-
nical Engineer. The ratd Deputy duet Mechanical Engineer.
Thiru C.S.S. Rajan letiicd1 from service at the end of that
month on 31-1-82.
The petitioner actually worked as a
fcon in the Office of the Chief Mcchan'cal pnginccr from
0-1-82.
The petitioner was terminated 'from service by an
Order dated 19-9-83 vy.e.f. 12-9-83. The applicant raised an
Industrial Dispute which was referred to the Tndusliial Tri-
bunal Madras at I.I). No. 117/87.
On 16-3-K9 the Indus-
trial Tribunal passed its Award holding that the termination
of the petitioner'- s-ivice is illegal. The respondent-Railway
filed O.A. No, 678/89 before the Central Administrative
Tribunal, Madras challenging the Award of the Industrial
Tribunal passed in I.D. No. 117/87. The said Original Ap-
plication was dismissed on 27-11-89.
Against the dismissal
of the Original application the lespondent filed a review
implication R S. No. 17/90 which was also dismissed on
22-2-91. \Vhen O.A. 678/89 was dismissed by the Central
AdmiriMinlive Tribunal, Madins on 27-13-89, the Tribunal
agreed with the Award of the Industrial Tribunal, that the
termination was in violation of Section 25F of the I.D. Act,
bu1 made a observation that it will be open to the respondent
to take appmpriate steps in tpuns of the I.D. Act if so advis-
Cil. In thi' meanwhile the petitioner filed O.A. No. 424/91
bsfote the Central Adminiqtia!ive Tribunal, challenging the
Award in T,D. No. 117/87 in so far as it denied the peti-
tioner back wages. The said Original application was allow-
ed on lfi-fi-92 and the petitioner was paid Rs. 97,000 towards
back wages in May, 1993. He was reinstated as a Bungalow
Luscai
w.c.f.
I Oth June,
1991 by
an
oider
dated
HHh June,
1991. The petitioner immediately
joined ser-
vice on 10-6-91.
Unfortunately on 13-6-9] the petitioner's
<ci vices, wen.1 teiminaterf w.c.f. 13-6-91. This time the res-
pondent paid the petitioner retrenchment compensation as
per Section 25F of I.D. Act. Since the earlier termination
was held to be illegal by two forums for non-compliance with
the mandatory provisions of Section 25F o[ Industrial Dis-
putes Act, this time the respondent complied with the pay-
ment of retrenchment compensation in order to rlothr fie
(cmination with a semblance of legality.
The action of tbe
Tcpundent in retrenchment the 'ervieec nf *^- ""f;*-'.—«r
i'ef
1.l-6-i] after purporting to comply with Section 25F
of I he I.D. Act is illegal and unjust. When The O d-r of
reinstatement wus passed on 10-6-91 it clearly stated that
the petitioner's services arc deemed to be continuous from
13-9-83 the date when he was terminated earlier, Consequent-
ly the petitioner i° deemed to have been in continuous service
f'nm his initinl date of appointment viz. 6-1-82.
During
tli'i=i period beiwepn 6-1-82, and 13-6-91 even so manv Bun-
p'llov Luscrs had brcn unnointed, who would' all be juniors
to the petitioner.
Therefore the rsrinciple of 'Last como
first no' should have been idhered to and the junior m°st
Huncalow Luscar alone should have been retrenched, and
no' 'he petitioner.
The petitioner prays to hold the termi-
nation of ib» petitioner's •rvvic.vs by the Order dated1 13-6-91
is wholly illej/fll and unjustified,
3. The Train averments found in thr Counter statement
of the Resnof dent are as follow- ' Shri R Mohan Ihe re-

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY TO, 2001/PAUSA 30, 1922
[PART II—SLC. 3(ii)|
Section 25F of the Industrial Dispute Act hos not been
followed.
Aggrieved by the above award, the Railway Ad-
ministration filed O.A. 678/89 before Madras Bench of the
Centra] Administrative ltibunul-
In the Judgement dated
27-11-89 from the Central Adminittiative Tribunal, Madras
it was held that substitute Bungalow Lascar is vvoikman and
therefore before tciminating the services the conditions men-
tioned in Section 25F of l.D. Act had to be followed.
In
compliance with the judgement dated 16-9-92 from the Cen-
tral Administrative Tribunal, Madras in O.A. No. 424/91
filed by him, he was later on paid back wages for the period
from 12-9-83 to 9-6-91 also,
His services were terminated
fiom 13-6-91 as per the terms of his appointment after
complying with the provisions of Section 25F of Industrial
Dispute Act on payment of retrenchment compensation and
notice period wages.
The claim of the petitionei that his
termination of services fiom 13-6-91 was against constitu-
tional provisions was held as without merit as per the judge-
ment dated 15-7-93 and 28-2-94 in O.A. No. 459/t>2 and
R.A. No. 88/93.
In the eiicumstances it is submitted that
there is no merit in the Claim of the petitions for lertnung
the ca.se for Arbitrations or further investigation in the mattci.
The petitioner prays to dismiss the above petition.
4. On behalf of petitioner/workman, Fxs. Wl to W7 were
marked by consent.
On behalf of respondent, Exs, Ml
to M4 were marked1 by consent. No witnesses were examin-
ed for both sides.
5. The Point for consideration is; Whether the action of
the management of the Southern Railway, Madras in the
services Of Sri R. Mohan an ex-peon while he was in con-
tinuous employment from 6-1-82 to 13-6-91 is just proper
and legal ?
If not. to what relief is the workman entitled
to?
6. The Point: Thiru R. Mohan, the petitioner was initially
appointed as Substitute Bungalow Luscar on 6-1-82 bv Sri
C. S.S. Rajan, the then Deputy Chief Mechanic U EnRineci.
The scheme of the Railway respondent provides that the
candidates thus appointed would be discharged if the officer1;
who appointed him retires from service within 3 ycais of
their appointment, and his successor officer does not require
the services of the individual within 3 years. Thin it is only
after 3 years contiguous service, the individual will derive
the right of rcgularisation. Anyway in paia. 4 of the Replv
statement of the respondent, it has been admitted that due
to inadvertence the petitioner was continued in service without
proper sanction, till lie was terminated on 12-9-83. After
knowinp this irregularity, he was icrminatc'd,
7. His termination order was marked as Ex. Wl, wherein
the following was found :
"The services of Sri R. Mohan, Bungalow
Luscar/
Rs. 196—232 is termlndk-d w.c f. 12-9 83 A.N."
Except these two linen no more reasons were found therein.
Therefore, an Industrial dismile wai raised in l.D. No,
117/1987, wherein an award was parsed on lfi-3-89, the
copy of which was marked as Fx. Ml. It was mentioned
therein as follows :
"While comine to conclusion, the Supreme Coiut also
considered section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes
Act and held that the termination in that case of
a workman would constitute retrenchment and for
not complying with the prc-coridilions lor valid
retrenchment the order of termination would be
illegal and valid. This decision is directly appliable
to the facts of this case and therefore it is binding
on this tribunal, 1989-1 LLN(SC) page 278 (Krishna
Kumar Lubev Vs. Uttar Pradesh State Food nnd
Fssential Commodities Corporation and another) is
the latest decision wherein Supreme Court has held
that when an employee continuously worked for
more than 240 days. hi= termination
of
service
without complying with the provisions of Section
25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act held illegal. It
cannot be contended by any stretch of irmiEination
on the basis of circulars issued u-ider Exs. Ml and
M2 that the appointment WHS only unW efrtain
conditions and that he enn be terminated without
following the procedurp laid down under section
25F of the Industrial Disputes Act. Those dicuiars
cannot tnke precedence over the statute, which
protects- any workman who worked continuously foi
not less than one year under any employer shall not
be retrenched
without
following
the
conditions
mentioned therein.
Point 1 : For these jeasons, the termination of the
petitioner is not legal and not justified and this
point is found in favour of the petitioner.
Point 2 ; In view of the finding in Point No. 1 the
petitioner
is entitled
to reinstatement and
the
respondent is directed to reinstate him without any
back wages but with continuity of service and other
attendant benefits."
8. Thus there was an award in favour of the petitioner
for reinstatement with continuity of service; but it was with-
out any backwages. Aggrieved over the same, the management
preferred O.A. No. 678/89 before the Central Administrative
Tribunal, and the award passed therein was marked as E\, M2,
wherein the following was held :
"The first respondent was appointed on 6-1-1982 by the
Assistant Personnel Officer as a substitute .Bungalow
Lascar to the Deputy Chief Mechanical Engineer,
The said officer retired on 31-1-1982 and the R. 1
continued to work. According to the applicants, R. 1
was permitted to work till 12-9-1983, when the
applicants realised that R. l's services should have
been terminated and terminated the service, of the
applicant with effect from 31-1-82, as per the leirns
of appointment. The Respondent No, 1 on receipt
of the termination order approached the Industrial
Tribunal. The Industrial Tribunal consideicd the
question and held that the order of termination
would
be a retrenchment
since the
conditions
mentioned in 25(F) was not followed, and allowed
the application.
This Bench had held in O.A. 32/89, that the
applicant
theiein, who is
similarly placed
as
Respondent No. I in this case, namely Bungalow
Lascar will be a 'workman' and therefore before
terminating him, the conditions mentioned in Src.
25F of Act had to be followed. One additional
fact that hod to be noticed is in the oiiler of the
Industrial Tribunal it is mentioned that there was
no dispute by the railways about the status of the
applicant as a 'workman*.
In view of the above, the application is dismissed.
However, we make it clear, that it will be open fry
the applicants to take appropriate steps in tt'ims of
l.D. Act, if so advised, and this decision will not
stand in the way of the applicants to take such a
step as per the l.D. Act."
9. Thus in order to comply with Section 25-F of Industrial
IXsnute Act, an opportunity was given to the management:
simultaneously holding that the erstwhile order of dismissal
is against Section 25F of l.D. Act and so invalid.
10. In pursuance of the awaid passed in l.D. No. 117/87
there was grievance for the management for the Order of
reinstatement mpdp ther°in and so the manai?|"ni''nt irrfi rr?d
O.A. No 678/89 mentioned above which ended in Ij.x. M2
aw-^rd. Simultaneously, as against the other pnrtion of the
result in l.D, No. 117/87 that the prHtioner shall not he paid
hackwaces. the later preferred O.A. 4*59/92 before the
Ontnii Administrative Tribunal wherein
an Order wos
passed hv Fx. Ml dated 15-7-93 and it was h.:ld therein thi't
thr apn1ic<rit will have to exhaust the remedy undei tl;e
Industrial Dispute Act aTid he cannot approach (he Ce-ntial
Administrative Tribunal without exhmistinc that remedy. Thus
on th- basis of inrisdictionpi point the petition O.A. 4S9/82
uns dicvnir=rd. Petitioner's Review netitinn No. 88'93 fiM
before thf Cen'rsi Administrative Tribunal was also dismissed
on 78-2-94 ind the copy of order of which was mnrkert n-.
FT. M4.
11. It was said in para. 6 of the Reply statement of the
management that in compliance of the Judgement
dated
16-9-92 of Central Administrative Tribunal, Madras in O A.
474/99 filed by the workman, h* was later on paid backwages
for the period from 12-9-83 to 9-6-91. He vvas also reinstated
on 10-6-91 through Ex, W2 order. This was made in com-
231
plunci; with the Award in I.D. No. 117/87 us confirmed by
the Central Admimsti alive Tribunal in O A. 678/89.
12. It was on 13-6-91 within 3 days, after hi3 reinstatement
the petitionci was again terminated. This lime they have
givm ihe compensation amount as determined in Seition ?5F
DI the Industrial Dispute Act. The copy of tci munition order
was maiked as hx. \V3 Ex. W4 was the leprescnttition nndc
by [he pctilioiiei, on which a paiawise comment was mad"
by the respondent through Ex, W5.
There was a failme
leport of Conciliation thuuigh Hx. W7 and the matter was
lifened hcic.
13. The Learned Counsel foi the Management now argued
that tiue it was that the petitioner was appointed as a Lascai
on 6-1-82; it was equally true that by inadveitance ol the
management, his seivices was continued till teimmatcd on
12-9-83. The dispute was refcried to this Tnhimal which
passed an award in ID. 117/87 mentioning that Section 251'
was not complied with and so the termination dated 12-9-83
was illegal and that theiefore an Order of reinstatement with
continuity oi service but without backwages was made. In
Paia. 6 of the Reply statement, the management conceded that
in OA No. 424/91 preferred hy the workm >n befote the
Ccntiaj AdmiTiistiative Tribunal, backwages WHS oidered and
accordingly the same was paid. Again O.A. No
459/92
preferred by the workman before the Central Administrative
Tubunal on other respects was dismissed OTI the giouild of
jurisdiction.
14 Therefore in compliance of an award passed in i D
No 117/87 and above noted OA. No. 678/89, the workman
was again reinstated on 10-6-91 through Ex. W2 order. This
was also after payment of backwages. Subsequently, lie was
tciminatcd on 13-6-91 thiough Fx. W3 older, of course afto
complying with Section 25F of TD. Act
15 Now the learned Counsel for the Wo'kinan aigueii
by vhtue of Awaid passed in I.D. No 117/87 which WJ,
confirmed in O A. No 678/89 befoie the Central Admini^tia-
tive Tribunal, the services of the woikman was continnoui
from the dale of appointment 6-1-82 till he was reinstated
on 10-6-91. Thus his services is of continuous period of
9-1/2 years During this period of 9-1/2 years, thpre would
have bcon humpty number of Luscars appointed by the
matryement
If such person1- ^ie b'ounht to litjht then it
must be that last person should be fiist retienched Tn this
connection, M.A. 202/99 was filed by the woiV.man which
WTS resisted bv the management and there was a Speaking
Order dated 11-4-7000 by this Tribunal wheicby the dcou-
mei-t- wcic ordered to he produi-sd or 2b-*-20(i0
Hut those
d icumenls havt» not been prodncrd It K idle for the itionace-
ment now to contend that the documents aic not available
There was no proceedings taken against the Older passed by
Ihis Tribunal in M A. No. 202799.
Therefore, we are
constiained lo take adveisc inference that such documents
arc available with the management and the non production
of the same will go to show that similar other lasrars arc
in service who were appointed later thun this pctitionci
Natural justice rcquiies thai the last person appointed diall
firsl be ictrenched. As this is not followed the lamination
is ilkgnl
and motivated
Theiefore, th-
Older of Termi-
nation is held as invalid and is set aside.
16 Tn the result, the Older of reinstatement is ordered
in favour of the petitioner with backwages continuity of
service and all other attendant benefits.
Award
passed
accordingly. No costs.

3. The main averments found in the Counter Statement of
the respondent are as follows :
Tho petitioner was appointed as f1 Mali on a Pay Scalp
of Rs 196-232
w e f. 17-2-1979, Ht v» is 'r.msfci nad
as
Khalasi on 28-4-1979 and later he wns protnoW -is Khalasi
Helper from 26-11-84 till his removal on 1-J2-R9 The ncti-
iioner t, a* n chron'c absentee and h.fd absented for a cumu-
lative period of 1223 dav<: in his 10 years of service. Though
his reply cljimed to have pioduced private medical ceitiiicate,
but 110 such ceitiiicates were enclosed or produced. Thereby
an inquiry was oidcred by the Oisciphn.iry authority and an
Inquiry Ollicer appointed 011 5-10-88. The Inquiry Order dated
5-to-bH and advices dated 2-S-89 and 20-6-89 hxing the
Inquiiy on 3Or5-89 and 11-7-89 respectively were sent by
rcgisieied post to the petitioners last known addicss given
in his service reccuds boln the notices wen. leturned
us
'not found', thereafter the inquiiy was proceeded with 'ex-
paitc' on 11-7-89. Based on the inquiry report the Discipli-
nary authority imposed the Older ot lemovnl from service'
w.ij.f. 1-12-89. Further the contention that the Asst. Works
Manager has no jurisdiction is not tenable, as the Officer who
appointed the petitioner as Mali was an Assistant Officer and
his transfer as Khnlasi was by Senior Scale Officer. T he Order
of removal from seivicc was under tho signature of the Works
Manager (Senior scale), who is the appointing authority.
Further the averment that the inquiiy report was noL made
available prior to the imposition of removal, the Apex Courts
decision after the 42nd Amendment of the Constitution of
India, an Inquiry report to the delinquent prior lo penalty
oider is not necessary.
Tho penalty order issued under the
signatuie of the Works Manager (Senior scale) had inadver-
tantly showed that an Appeal shall Jay to Chief Workshop
Engineer/Shell whereas the Appellate Au.horjty was the
Deputy Chief Mechanical Engineer/Shell.
Even though, the
petitioner had addressed his apped to C WE/Shell, the appeal
was considered by the appiopriutc authoiily i.e. the Dy. C ME/
Shell
and orders
passed,
Similarly the Revision petition
addressed to the CME Shell, was considered hy the Compe-
tent authorty i.o. the CWK Shell an.l rightly disposed oil. The
lespondent pravs thnt the termination of the petitioner who
was engaged as a Mali in terms and conditions to his appoint-
ment order is lcpol and the petitioner seeking for a direction
for reinstatement with backwagos
and continuity of service
and all other consequent in] benefits anJ costs is not entitled
foi the same.
-1. On behalf of petitioner, Ex. Wl t3 W19 were marked
liy Loarent. On behalf of respondent, Ex. Ml to M22 series
were maikcd by consent, No witnesses were examined for both
sides.
5, Tho Point for consideration is : Whether the action of
the miipapement of Integral Coach "Factory, Madias is dis-
missing the seivices of Sri M. Ragavcl, an cx-Khalasi w.e f.
29-11-89 is just and legal? If not, to what relief, ia the work-
man entitled to ?
b. The Point: The petitioner-Woikmun Mr M
Ra^jvel
was appointed as a Khalasi in the Integral Conch Fctory,
Madras on 17-2-79, Later he was promoted an Khalasi helper,
fiom 26-1 1T84 till his lemoval on. 1-12-89 for his unauthorised
absence for 112 days between 4-10-87 to 26-5-88.
A Charge
memo was issued and the sum© with acknowledgement was
marked as Ex. M2 (equivalent to I.x. Wl). His explanation
for the Chaige memo was marked as Ex. Ml. On 5-10-8R theie
was an Order to conduct enquiry and that order was marked
as Ex, M4. The covering letter for departmental enquiry und
the 1 etui red cover wcro respectively marked ps Px. M5 and
M6. Another covering letter for Departmental enquiry with
returned cover with A.D. forms were respectively marked as
1-k M7 and M8. Therefore, an expaitc enquiry was made and
the report of which was marked as Ex. \T9 dated 24-7 89.
There was a consequential order oi. teminaiion on 29-11 -84
and the same was marked as Ex. M10 (cquavalent to Ex.
W2),
It was served upon the petitioner through Ex. Ml]
acknowledgement card. The same was affixed on Notice
Board through Ex. M12. The nppi-al pieferred by the peti-
tioner w?v also dismissed on 5-4-90 through Ex. M16 (equi-
valent to Ex. W6).
7. At this stage, it is to be mentioned that according to the
1 epresentation of the petitioner through E^. M15 dated 8-2-90,
he fell i'l at Knnchipuram in his biother's, house and he was
takinff treatment for 'Polyneutitis and F.nterocolitis'
from
27-7-88 to 18-7-89. Altough it was said that Medical certifi-
cates were enclosed nothing was found actually enclosed. Thus
the appeal was dismissed. Subsequent reprscntftlioiv, of peti-
tioners
through
Ex.
W8
to
Chief
Mechanical
Rnpineer and to the Memhpr of Parliament through Ex. M*
went futile
Therefoie industrial dispute was raised through

made to the Tiiluinal.

The mibconduct mitred was the
pcotionu s

nutiou or tne petitioner v,as that Be was uUying ucatment at

evidence showing his illness was producea. The fact tcmains
tnat twice announcement of Ucpaitnieaul enquuy was s.rii to
the petitumcr which wcie ictunxd
uiidelivued' by postal
authority, One sucii covering letter i>.~ llic m injgoinait win
dated 2-:> n'j through h\. Mi and momer was dated 2lM)-ti*
through Lt. JVI7, iioth were returned by postal amhoniy
'undciiveied'.
ihcrLloie. theie Was evciy jusLhcation
to
proceed wnh the eaquny 'expat te'. it is unpoitaut to mention
that under Ex, Mil Acknouledgcnujit card, lliu petitioner
had received the Older of termination dMe ,19-11-89 maike
as Ex. M10 ("W2). Evt:n flaw the netitionei has not pioucod
any evidence to ihow thtt he vvas ill dm ing the period of
absence.
9. At this juncture, an attt^npt was made un the pa it of the
management, to describe the petitioner as a habitual and
chronic absentee. In this connection, additional
document
through Ex. M22 was marked by consent whic'i would vividly
bhow his leave for 1200 days between 17-2-79 to 1-12-89.
During a decade, he was absent for 4 yt�s intermittently. He
was thus shown an absentee for almost 40 per c-Tit of (he s'lid
working days.
10. The Learned Counsel for the workman contended that
past record of servjeve which w.is not produced during the
domestic enquhy cannot be considered in this tn;iuiial. Tute
it is that this allegation of chronic air enter was nor mt.de in
the domestic eMiiiry, Had it been mentioned theie, an op-
poitimity would have been given to the petitioner to diftvd
himself which he is now fuck'ng. Wh itevrr it JS as pjo-
vided in 1990 I I.LJ 29S we have to consider the negation
of opportunity for petitionci for defendu1;' liinr.Mf against
the alleR^tioiii
the allegation of chionic u* cnteKr".
In
similai circumstances, it w,u held in the above cited case as
follows :
"When we view this question fium 'he r! PKT angle,
we cannot take exception to the opinion etpres'cd
by the learned single jndp,.1 '*iat when (here was an
omission on the part of the management lo put the
employee on notice of the move on the part of the
management to take into
coiT-'dPuitiou the
pa11
recoid of service of the emplovee in the mailer of
imposition of the punishment, there v as a viokit'on
of the principles of natural justice and the same
en or bad crepcte into the thinking on the part of
tlio Labour Court. The vilavotint factor was U,e
denial of rpportunity to the employee to cxpl.iin
the past record of service at 'he approphnte time.
'Hint has nullified the tcsultant action. Tbcreaftci
the matter has to be viwed unattained b/ the past
record of service."
11. By Kpplvinp the above
Jatio d'ecidendee,
we hold
that the past advf»i'e antecedents may not b" taken in'o con-
sideralion
at ptv<,ent, in the above citcumshnces
12. Now we hive to re-appiaise the e\id.-ncc in domestic
enquiry. Unduly absentee pmplovce1; will be pciennini head-
ache to the emrl'oyei and

13. The Leaimd r^unst?I for the W-.^.m-ii now" poirted
out that there wns a rirculnr tti tKe Railway R.iaid thi-ough
Ex, W3 dated 14-12-89 fas coiiertly mcitinm'd in the Tnclc\

makti the position cleai that the CircuKu- will not cover the
Order of Terminal,^ as the Cneulai is. later in time than
til. i of the Order ol tcimination.
15. The Learned Counsel for the VVoiknun tignui relied
upon 1994 I LLJ p. lhi and aiyued that the non-supply of
lupy ol biniuny Rcpoic befojc ovei ILe Discipiinary Autho-
rity imposed puiinlimeni will make the pioceduie iiiegulai.
Now VJJ nave to see what aUvuilly was obscivcd in 1994 I
LLJ ibl. H was held as follows :
"lloth admmisliathc reality and public inieicsis do nut,
therefore, require that the cidcis uf punishment
passed prior to tlie decision in Mohd. Ramzan
Khan's case without furnishing the repeoertc of the
liquny tJiucei should be drturlied and the diiCi-
plitiiiiy pioceedings which gave rise lo the said ord-
ers should be leopencd on that uicount.
. . The proposition of law thai flie tvvo richts were
inacpendent of each othtr and in laot belonged to
tv.o dilleient stages in the inquuy came into sharp
fqcus only after the 42 Amendment of the Consti-
tution which abolished the second stage oj
(he
inquiiy, viz., th© inquiry into thu nature of punish-
ment. It was for the flist time Li Mohd, Ramzan
Khan's case that the questiorj sqtiaiely fell for drci-
sion before this- Court, Hen:? till November 20,
1090 i.e. the day on which Mohd. Ram/an khan's
case was decided, the positron of 1 iu un (he subject
was not stitled by this C'Juit. Jt i& for t!tc fiist time
m Mohd. Ramzan Khan's case that this Court Jaid
down the law. That decision made the law laid down
there prospective in operation, I e., applicable to the
ordei/of punishment passed after
November
20,
1s>90. 'I he law laid dowo. was nnt applicable to the
oiders of punishment passed before (hat dote not-
withstanding the fact that the proceedings arising
out of the same were pending in courts a Per that
date. The said pioceedings had to he decided accord-
ina to the law prevalent piioi to the- said date which
did not lequiie the
authority *.> supply a copy of
the Inquiry Officci's report to the cnrploy:c. The
only exception to this wis whete iK- sc-vJcc rules
with repaid to thr disciplinaiv piocepilin^^ them-
selves made it obligatory to 'iipp'y cipy of the leport
ec by management.
N J , ' we h.ivc to si°e wbe'bci other eu-'T*ion clans: is
npplii'iiblc. The only execpfion was whert tli^ hcivicc Rules
themselves ntadc it obliKatqry for supply of copy nf llie
icport to the employee. But in this case, the Circular marked
through Rx. '•Vl was later in time than that of the Oid'r
of termination and s^ was not apphcab't id the aboirc domc--
(•c proceedings, as it was not also shown u- having retrc
ppctive effect.
Thus there is no .'tcenlion. Thti Order of
Termination w
prior to 20-11-90. Ilv-rrfo'c, the Old Law
nlonc wj?i applicable. The law laid ili.vn n Mohd. Ramzan's
cn^e is no( applicable as per the obseiwtinr made 'n
tbe
above cited case. Thus the rtrocedme is held correct. Thcie is
no ct'th'T irrenulaiitv found in the ori."i*dui» adopted in t'.c
domestic enquiry Thev-foif, the nid>-i- of teiminution is
valid.
If. In suppoit of our above view, ccrt'iin obscivations mode
in the strove ciled ca'c have also to be lr.! rd into ;ind it is
Bs1 follows :
"Htno to diiect rcinstatemenl of the employee
with
hackwufies in fill CPSCS is lo reduce the rules of
ivtice to a mechanical liti'ai.

-ible •opportunjiy and the principle; rt natural |ustice

fact, prejudice hn< been causi-d to the emnloyn* or
not on account of the dfnia] to him of the report,
has to be considered on the facts and circumstances
of each case, Whfre, therefore, even after the fur-
nishintr the report, no different consequence would
Vive followed, it would be a perversion of justice to
pcimit (be employee to resume duty and to pet all
(tie consequential benefits. It nmnunis to rewarding

concept of justice to illogical and exasperating limits.
Jt amounts to an 'unnatural expansion of natural
justice' which in itself is antithetical to jusitce ".
17 .Even in that case law, it was obwi ved that it should
also be established as to what was the piejudice caused to the
workman by the f»ihiie to supply the enquiiy lcport. In this
case, is no prejudice was alleged to hti\e been caused to the
woikman.
In fact he remained cxpaitc throuhg the domestic
cnquiiy.
When he want only evaded the service of the
enquiry date, thcie could be no grievance t<o him. It is also
not the case of the workman that ihe domestic cnquiiy was
want only made behind his back. If taut was tiuc he could
have asktJ llor ie-enquuy which' he never u iked for, Th|Ciefore,
viewed in afly angle, chronic absence will be a parenni.il hcad-
ncho to the Welfare of the administration and is liable to be
condemned effectively. Thus the Older of tcrminatioin is justi-
fied.
In the Jesuit, award passtd holding (hat the action of the
management of Integial COLICII Facfoiy, Madras in dismiss-
ing the services of Shri M. Ragavel, an cx-Khalasi wi<4i efFect

in any pint of this award in connection vith them
and persons who ate casual employees or who aie
employed to do job work are excluded from the
operation of this Award,"
d, Another lelevnnt provision of Desai Award1 in para
23-19 is ft3 under:
'There is no merit in the demand that wheic daily-
rated and/or temporary hands remain in employ-
ment for aggregate period of 3 months during any
12 consecutive months they should be deemed to
he probationers and should he so covered and ab-
sp-hcil a.vunsl permanent

The said
demand is opposed by the Banks and the same is
iejected. As icgaids the demand that all employes,
working ior 3 months or more should he deemed
a", confnmtd, save as otheiv/i«c piovided in this

7, In view of the afoicsaid facts, the management!, con-
tend that the workmen are no) entitled to any relief in the
rresent ease as claimed by them.
H. The sole point for rietei initiation in the caee is as to
whether the workmen are entitled to reinstatement with a!l
consequential beneiits,
9. It is admitted fads that the workmen were employed

Delivered on this 15th day of December, 2000
1. The Government of India. Ministry of Labour vide
cider No. L-41012/43/92-1RDU has referred th- following
di pule for adjudication by this tribunal—
"Whtther the action of the management of Central
Railway, Ajni, Nagpur in terminating the services
of Shri D. V. Meshram Casual labour is legal and
justified ? If not, what relief be is entitled for ?"
2. The case for the workman is that he w^is appointed at
casual labour on 3-5-73 by the management and continued
till 25-9-85. Duting the course of employment, tie remained
«n m-dical leave w.e f. 26-9-85 to 19-11-85 on account of.
b'me injured on duty. Thereafter he was taken back in
'•ivice by the management. The Assistant F.neinee1; (TT)
Lential Railway Jhnnsi informed the applicant vide, letter
dated :'0-3-89 that thrr.c casual workers, who weie appointed
.iftcr IK-12-80 shall he issued service card wltn the consent
of (he Geneial Manaper and accordingly the applicant was
directed to present himself at Jhansi within 10 days of the
leceipt of the laid letter with the following information : —
(i) Passport size photo
(li) Service recoid, if any
(iii) Proof of date of birth
(iv) Educalioml qualifications
1. The rrfi.resaid letter was received by t'ic- applictint on
2S-1-H9. This letter was not applicable to him because he
W.T, employed in the year 1973, Thereafter a letter was
st-nt by the chief foieman track machine. Central Railway,
Api, Na«r»ir on 27-1-90 to the applicant that basically he
v. >••, iifinointec) on dailv wac;es and he will be considered for
rt-rni1 ir apnointmert when HHV vacancy would nn--e in fuluie.
Bv this Inter, he was asked to submit his willingness within
30 dnys if he wanted thf employment.
37
4. The applicant further alleges that he sent his willingness
on 31-1-90 which was acknowledged by the management on
8-2-90. Inspite of several reminders he was not considered
f"r employment by the management.
Shii Bhagirath, Shri
Rahul, Shri Naiesh, Shri Gangadhar, Shri Gvncjhwar Shii
Madhav Natlm and Shri Harprasad, who wi:rc inniois to
applicant, weic given regular employment bv the manaee-
mcut
and
the
applicant
was
never
considered
lor
the same. He had continuously woiked for moie than 240
days. Without giving any prior notice he was retrenched
by the management in violation of Section 25-F of the
l.D. Act. 1947. Hence he is entitled to reinstatement with
all consequential benefits.
5. The case for the management is that the applicant
was appointed as casual labour on daily wages on 19-3-85
and worked1 upto 25-9-85.
Thereafter he left the services
at his own sweet will. The applicant w;i- again re-employed
on 20-11-85 and worked upto 5-11-86. Thereafter again he
left his services on his own will. Initially the workman was
employed
as
casual
labour
on
1-5-73
under P\V'I(M)
Dhanungaon and worked in broken period upto
18-12-77
and he was never in seivice w.e.f. 18-12-77 to 2-12-84. The
applicant left (he service on his own will is he was not
regularly engaged in the employment of the Railway. He has
not continuously worked for more than 240 days, He is
therefore, nol entitled to any claim as alleged in the statement
of claim.
6. The following points are arising for determination hi
the present dispute—
1.
Whether the workman is entitled to reinstatement
with all consequential monetary benefits'?
2.
Relief and costs 7
7. Point No. 1 : The workman has contend'd that his
services were terminated by the Central Railway wilhout
complying with the provisions of Section 25-F cf (he Indusrtinl
Dispute Act 1947. According to him he had continuously
woiked for more than 240 days in the preceding year prior
lo termination of his services by the Railway. He has filed
the reco.d of his service Exhibit Wl in suoport of his
contention. This record shows that he was employed as casual
labour by the Central Railway on 3-5-73. He worked in this
capacity till 18-12-77. Thereafter he left this lob on his own
will. Again after the lapse of about 7 years, he was employed
as casual labour on 3-11-84 and worked till 26-9-85. Again
ho left the iob on his own sweet will. Thereartcr again he
woiked as casual labour w.e.f. 20-11-85 to 6-2-86,
This
service card clearly shows that the workman never continued
tci woik w.e.f. 7-2-86 According to tvm no orclc of termi-
nation from service was issued to him by the Central Railway
In the abijnrc of termination order it is Tiot possible to hold
that the mnnnucnr'nt had terminated the services of the
woikmnn w r.f. 7-2-86. On the contrary the service record
Ex. W-T indicates that the workman had himself left fhe
job on his own sweet will. In view of this fact the contention
of (he workman that the management had terminated his
seivVcs does not pet any snnnort from i^r rrol o>- do^'iTien-
t.iry evidence adduced bv him. He himself hfiil voluntarily
left the iob accordinR to his own convenience. If ths manaec-
nvnt hud not terminated the services of the wo^mnn then
the ai'c.t;on of complying with the provisions of Section 25-F
of the ID. Act does not arise at Ml.
8. The workman has filed the letfer dated 11-1-90 Fnhilit
W-4 issur-d bv the irMViacement. By this letter the workman
W.JS dircctfd lo "iibmit his willingness for gettine employment
as n caMinl labour within 30 davs from the date of the receipt
of t'ie lettT Tn this very letter it has been sfatpd fW the
workman hpd voluntarily left his nrevious iob The workman
hud nfvrr denied th» ".aid statement contained in Exhibit
W-4 dnied 11-1-90 This f.irt also eoe<; to r\ro\ii tbit Ibr
woiVnian hime'f bnd left the ]nh on his own uncord. His
mmf VM' T-pi'iii-^rlv maintained RS casual labour bv the Central
Fni1w>v -<rrl thnvefnrc he w;^ offi"-"(] thj> inh in future in
the cvr.-if of filiinc anv vneanev The workman never sent
his wi|liiirfnnSi; within r> neriod of 30 dnvs from the dnte of
ivc-int or thf "aid letter (FT W-4) All the's ciTpnitsunce1;
Infill tn r-onelnrlf thfit t'T1 wmkmnn had no Tntention to pet

hi. wiliini»r"»<is iv'ttiin
tipn'1 to the
Railway for
petting
emn1ovmcnt in fi'liire whenever the vacancy arises.
9. In view of the foregoing discussions it becomes absolutely
clear that the workman was never terminated by the Railway.
On the contrary, it is proved beyond doubt that the workman
had himself left the job on his own .sweet will. He
;s
llit'icf'Mc,
not entitled to leinsuitement
with
an monetary
bwiehts, Point No. 1 is answered accordingly.
10. Point No. 2 : In view of my finding Riven on point
No 1 the workman is not entitled to any relief as claimed
by him.
11. On the reasons stated above, the applicant is not
entitled to reinstatement with monetary benefits. The reference
is accordingly answered in favour of the management a?id
against the workman.
12. Copy of award be sent to the Government of India,
Ministry of Labour as per rules.

h is ulso sub-

of
Central Ciovernment Industiml Tnbunal No. 1 MiJnbai in
Reference No. CG1T-I/5 of 1993 in the case of Employee
where an order came to be passed by the Hon'hle High
Court and the workman was regularised in service and there-
fore the second paity is also entitled lo lCguiarisc in seivicc.
It is further submitted that the judicial decision ot the Sup-
leme Com I of India is the law declaied by the Supreme
Court and it is binding on the
parlies and ihercioie the
decision of the Supreme Court equally applies to the present
reference also. It is also submitted that the Aitifkiai Limb
Crime Pime has I'JO beded Hospital loi amputee patient
and it h:is work shop foi manufactuiing Artificial Limb and

ries comprises more than 140 workmen including punting
press and the
present
workmen are
repi esenting in
the
works committee constituted
as per Sec. 3 of the I.U. Act
j947.
It is further submitted that the second parly is oitho-
pedieally handicapped having leserved post m the Artificial
Limb Centre as a Composer and accoiding to Govt. of India
Oilice Memorandum No. 39O16/2O/8O-Estl(c) dt. 30-12-1980
she is eligible to get relaxation upto 10 \cars for the appoint-
ment to the post in Artificial Limb Centie. It is also strbmit-
ted that she has registered her name in the Employment
Exchange in the year 1980 and she was also sent to Sasoon
General Hospital and she was lit for the post of 'lelephonc
Operatoi and accordingly she was appointed. Thus she has
prayer) that the order of the Commajidant teiminatiiiR hei
services should be quashed and set aside and appropriate relief,
should be granted1 to her.
3. The fust party have filed theii wntlen statement at
hx. 11 and havo contended1 that the second paily was ap-
pointed temporarily as a part time employee in the Printing
Press of the Artificial Limb Centre on humanitarian grounds
as she is orthopedically handicapped since birlh
The first
parly have denied that the Aitilicj.il Limb Centie falls within
the definition of 'industry'. Accoiding to the fiist party the
centre is a Hospital Tor rehabilitation of disabled
military
personnel and the press was cieated from out of ihe non-
governmental funds such as Donations thercloic, it is not
an 'Industry' as held by the Hon. Supreme Court in AIR-
1971-SC-1259. It is also the case of the first party that the
second party was over age at the time of inception for Gov-
ernment service and she was paid monthly honoiaritim lang-
ing between Rs. 160 to Rs 750 during her pait time emp-
loyment.
They have denied I hat she was illegally tcimina-
te'l fioin sci vice. According to the first party she was only
a tempoiaiy casual employee and not acainst any post or
vacancy. In spite of knowing this, she insisted on being regu-
larised, which was not possible as theic was no post
of
composer vacancy and she was over ago on the date of her
appointment as temporary hand.
She was nppojnied purely
on humanitarian grounds, and at the time of taking in emp-
loyment she was made awaic. The first partv has demVd the
other contentions in (he statement of claim and submitted
that the reference should be dismissed1 on the ground thai
there is no post authorised for composer. The applicant has
not sponsoied by the Employment Exchange and was not
within the ace limit prescribed 'foi Government service
and
she is not found fit medically for the job of ( omposer by
the Medical Board held1 at Sasoon General
Hospilal
and
lastly she does not have necessary qualification for the jobs.

going
through the pleadings of the parties at Ex. 18.

(REASONS
5. The advocate for the second paity union 1K:S filed
a
purshis at Ex. 20 stating that the union does not willi to lead
any oiul evidence in the above refeience,
Issue No. 1.—The Central Government by its oidei No.
14012/41/98/JR/DU dated Ui-2-9'J has lcfciicd the Indust-
rial Dispute to this Hoifble Couit for
adjudication.
To
decide whcthei the action of the management of Aitificial
Limb Centie, Pune m engaging 6mt. Tiessa Swamy for 18
years as a Composei without regulating her in seivice and1
thereafter terminating her .service is legal and justified. To
consider Ihis dispute, it is fir't ncccssaiy to ic^ei to the letter
of teiniination, which is being given to the second parly Smt,
Tiesta Swamy due to which the cause of action has aiisen.
II is aslo settled position that once -the termination letter is
given the Court will have to sec whether the reasons men-
tioned in the termination letler aie proper and legal and that
the action of termination is piopei or not? Theieioie, I am
quoting below (he contents of the teimination letter:—
'Termination of services :—
il) You aie hereby informed that join- seivRe «s a
Composer for Printing Press in this Centie is no
longer required.
2. Your service will therefore be
terminated

6. I d.Adv A.N.
kulkarni appealing for the second paity
i.e. Aitidcial Limb Centre Mnployces Union on beh.lf of
Smt. Titssa Swamy in his synopsis of oral arguments ai Ex.
30 has submitted that as pel the teimination letter the atconu
pany woikman was working as a Composer for Ptmting
Press and therefoic when her services are terminaled after
pulling in 18 years of
seivice without any leason as men-
tioned1" in the termination letter, the teimination
is illegal
and malalidc. According to Mr. Kulkarni Advocate the only
n-Asoii for teiminating the services of the second party is that
she is no longer required. This reason without any
valid
ground appears to be by way of a victimisation and unfaii
labour practice. In reply in the written synopsis filed by the
fust part}—Vtiiicial Limb Centic, it is contended that the
Pmt> No. 2 is a handicapped person and on account
of
humanitaiian giounds she was engaged on citsu.il day to day
basis in the Printing Press, which is i un v ith (he said regimen
tal hinds and that on the date of joining i.e 9-2-1980 as per
the School Leaving Certificate produced by the second paity-
Smt. Tiessa Swumy she was over aged to be employed1 in
any post, in the Paid post be older than 28 years and she is
;'!so not otherwise qualified for the suid job being a non-
jnatiic. Secondly, only the peisons sponsored by the Emp-
loyment Exchange are employed in Printing Pi ess and Mis,
Swamy has not come fiom Fmployment E\chnnge as shr has
got herself registered after joining the Piniting Piets. Ciicu-
lar of the Ministry of Home Affairs Deptt. dated y-2-81 is
lelieJ upon by them to show that of the post resetved fo>
physir ,1Iy handicapped
should be filled in tin ouch ljmp-
loyment Pxchange. It is also contended that there is no post
of Composer. Tt is also submitted
in the written synopsis
by the first paily that the report of Ihe medical boaid is
dited 21-8-81 and the second party joined piior to that and
ihe medical renort states that a second paity is lit for Tele-
phone operator or \ssembly Line Job onlv and therefore
she is not entitled to take undue advantage of the letler issued
to hei by the then Commandant
Therefore, the action in
terminating her services is legal valid and binding on the
employer.

In iopl> the case of the tiist paity is that the Artificial
Limb Gentre is nol au 'indii-Jiy' within the meaning ot Sec-
tion HI) of the ID. Act,
With regaul1 to this jiurdietion
poini c\iept the pleadings there is no evidence brought on
recnid by the Hist party to put the first paity out of the
definition of 'industry'.
In the written synopsis filed by
the illst paiLy, they have not taken up this ai;jument.
Sec-
ondij, in view ol the Bangalore Water Supply ease wheie
theie is a systematic activity .ind the leimionship of an
employer employee exist the In si party will fall within tilt-
deiimtion of 'industiy'.
'llieictoie this piehminaiy conten-
tion is ovei ruled
The second contention in tli; wnlten
sialcmcnf is that the concerned1 workman was ov^r aped at
the time of joining the scivice and she was only tempoiaiy
cn«unl employee and not against any po>t or vacancy and
despite nothing.
This w.'is invsted Jor refiulaiisntion which
WHS not possible as there was no post of Composer or
vaeani-y und as she W.IT over aged and she was appointed
puidy en humaniUuian ground inid that she has not coine
from Lmployment I'vchange.
The fir'-t paily in the W.S.
has stated that the case of Mr. Fulpafjar is not applicable
to the case of the second1 paitv concerned ;is lie was medi-
cally fit and he was within the a^e limit.
It is further
pleaded th.it there is no post of Composci in the Punting
Pie-.b.
It is further submitted that as pai the medical cei-
tiliLatc of Saloon General Hospital the second paitv wns fit
for Telfhore Operator and Arsemhly Line job.
In the last,
parn uf the W.S. Ihe first paity has stated that the claim
and the application of the '•econd paity Ms Treta Swumy
should be dismissed on lie following grounds :—
(a) There is no post airthoiiscd for 'Composer,
(b) The name of appleumt (Ms. Tresn Kvvamy) hnd not
been sponsored by the Employment Exchange.
(o She was not within the Age Limit prcciibed for
Government service at the time of appointment.
(d) She is not foun'1 fit medically f'Jr the job of Com-
poser bv the Medical Board hHd at Sasoon Geneial
Hospital.
(e) She does not have the neecsaiy qualification for the
said job.
Therefore eonsidciing the ihovc H''ounds and the icasons
mentioned in the letter of leiminatlla it appears to me
ihnt the f'ist party has di-v.-loned new i'are and bioufht our

toi" oi Assembly Line job is n c acceptable ,md the submis-
sions m.'oc ni the wriu^n s>nopsu lit paui-7 aie not correct.
Consideiing the evidence of the management witness Mr.
Hajcwa and his admission that Smt. 'Iresa Swamy was woikmg
in me Fuming Picss tun by the first paity union the witness1
has tried to improve upon his evidence by saying that Smt.
Swamv was. helping in the press and she was not appointed
in a particular post. Mi. Bajawa also stated that Smt. Swamy
was over aged at the time of joining for iegalar employ-
ment and she did not come from Employment Exchange.
Sue was not phj-iically fit for employment, She is handicapped
in upper iiijib and she cannot employed as a Composer i.e.
handicapped. lie has also clarified that she was employed
lo help out on humanitarian grounds and ihe ennnot be taken
back, in employment on the post as there is no such post,
On going through the W.S. filed by the first purty and on
going thruugh the evidence given by the witness of the
ilrst party 1 find that there arc lot of contradictions and
tiic \VS. i1 very vague. It docs not mention what work the
.second paity was exactly doing. In the W.S. it is merely
ittcniioniJ that second party was employed on part time.
She was a tempoiaiy casual employee and there was no
POJI of Composer of vacancy. It has also been mentioned
in para-4 of the W.S. that Ihe has been appointed puiely
in humanitaiian grounds. In tho entire W.S. it has no whero
been mentioned that what particular kind of work the second
paily was doing wheieas in the evidence the management
witness has confiimed that Smt. Tresa Swamy was working
in tl't Printing Picss and aicording to this witness she was
only helping in the press and she was not employed ap a
Composer. In tho cross examination the witness admits that
the second party was working in the Printing Pi ess but
ikuicd tho suggestion that she was giving composing work,
Rut, he htf, also admitted that the press it working till today.
The wlt.iess further admitted after looking to the document
at Si. NO. 3 of Ex. 8 that the second party was fit for
vniking as a Telephone Operator
or Assembly Line
job.
Theiefore, on going thiough the averments in the W.S. and
the deposition of the management witness one thinR has
been made clear that there was a unit in the fir^t paitv I.e.
Prilinq Press The only controveisy which requires to be
looked into in this case is whether the second party was
Jo'nj' the work of a Composer because the W.S. filed bv
the liist party in para-12(A) says that there is1 no post
authorised for Composer. It io pertinent to note that the
termination letter issued to the workman clearly mentions
that her service as a Composer for the Printing Press Is no
innR.M- required This letter has been issued by S. K. Jain,
Bii? Commandant of the flr.t party. Secondly, there is also
one document issurd lo the s*:ond party by the office of the
firs'
partv
signed
by Brig. I. C. Narang
Professor
ot
OrthriTvedic', (ARMC) Commandant Artificial Limb Centie
dt. 2^-10-1982 where ii has been clearly mentioned that the
second party has joined the Printing Press Comv)o>-ing Section
in 1980. Therefore theso two documents, which are filed on
reeeord hv the second party proves that the second party

:43
fin>t paj-ty their only contention in the willten statement it,
that the applicant was given employment on humuniUuan
giounds and the management witness in the cio'is examination
has stated that the Commandant
Artificial
Limb
Lcitlie
appomled hcic. He has also filmed thul aithon/h tlide w, s
no post but she was working. Quoted below is ilu «.i.atemi:pt
oi the management witness Mi. Bujawa:—
"The Commandant Artificial Limb Centre feppoiuied hei.
It i', 11 nc that there was no post, but she was
working."
It can also be seen from the pleadings in the application at
pura-8 that the second party has specifically pleaded that
she has been issued a ceilificato by the Commandant dt,
25-10-1982 appieciating her work. Tn the writlen statement
the first party denied the issuance of this cerLlfieitc at para-9
and they
have merely answered the
said pleading
a-,
under:—
"The ceitilicate mentioned in pata-R was given in favour
of the applicant/party No. 2 in oidei to help her
secure employment elsewhere and at Iici request
it may b.; noted I hut il ha> been i .sued in j<-)82."
Therefore from this leply, it can be seen th.it tlf,eic is no
denial about the issuance of the suid certificate. Therefore
the contents of the said certificate are required to be con-
sidered by this Court for drawing the conclusion that the
second party though physically handicapped she ioinecl the
Prilling Press in the Composing Section in 1980 and het
work was good therefore, 171 view of the rcjwons mentioned
in the teifnination lettei and the co'Tienls of the certificate
cle;.ily go to show that there was work of composer in ihe_
first piiitv and (hat the second party was woikinc in the'
Printing Press about which theie is no dispute. The first
party have failed to bung any cogent evidence before the
Court to move that the second party was helping in the
Printing Picss and not domp any composing work They have
not examined any LO-woiker to piove that the work of the
second pai-iy was only to help in the Printing Press. On the
other hiwid th,• termination letter and the certificate jiiven
bv the first party support the case of the second party that
she was worHini; as a compost-i in the Printing Press. Hence
The fir-t conlenlinn of the first party that the application
should be dismissed as there is no post
authorised
for
Composer requires to be rejected. It is pertinent to virite that
offer the ••"•renments have been over the fiist party has pro-
duced bcfoio the court the list of various cale^ories and

"The Act docs not oblige any employer tu employ those

and then consider the cases ot all the candidates
lor appointment to posts trader State—Such pro-
t'ecluie would be fair and would satisly "test of
equality of opportunity". Therefore in view of the
documents filed on record by the second patty em-
ployee at Sr. No, 3 of the list dt Ex. 8. it is
pnma facie established that she had applied for the
Employment Exchange and she registered herself
as per the pi of 01 ma tiled with Ex. S and in view
ot the judgement of the Hon. Supiemc Court Ihe
contention o± the first paity that since she has not
been rcci uited through the Employment Exchange
her appointment was riot proper, cannot be accepted
and further it also heeds to be mentioned hcjc that
ihe lirst party has allowed the second party to
remain in employment for more than IK years. This
itself shows that they had waived the condition for
sponsorship by the Employment Exchange in the
case of the second party-Workman,
The third
condition for dismissing the application is that the
second party was riot Within the age limit prescribed
foi Government seivice and she w.is not found fit
medically foi the job of Compsoer by the Medical
Bojrd held at the Sasoon General Hospital. These
2 conditions are also not proved by the first party
because the second party has relied upon the riles
of the Government alongwith list Ex, 8 at Sr. No. 4
for the handicapped persons, and as pt*r this lule
oi the Government
the physically
handicapped
persons are entitled to relaxation of upper age limit
upto
10 years for the purpose of appointment to
Group lC and 'D' posts. As per the date of birth
mentioned in the School leaving Certificate the
second party WBI borne- in December 1949 therefore
on the date of her appointment 117 service with the
first parly in lySO here age at that relevant time
was 31 years. The first party in their written state-
ment have not mentioned the required age for the
appointment of the second party and the burden
was on the liist parly to prove what was the light
ace fixed by the Government to gtt employment
\\ ftfi the fiist parly at Ihe relevant time. Since the
first pally has come up with the contention in their
vtiitten s!s(ement that she was not within the age
liiri't it was for the first party to discharge the burden
and in that respect Ld, Adv. Kulkarni has submitted
in his written submission that as per the deposition
of the management witness that she was over aged
at the time of joining for regular employment is a
bold lie and it is also submitted that there is diffe-
rence between pleadings and proof and nothing has
been moved by the management. It is further sub-
mitted in the written arguments that the date of
hfrth of thi" workman is 31-12-1949, which means
her (ige is 51 vears as on today and she enn continue
till the ape of (SO years. Therefore, considering the
submissions of Ld. Adv. Kulkarni and since the
first party has not discharged his buiden of proving
that the second party was over ai;ed at the lime of
inception for Government service they have also
not disnuted Ihe Government Rules piodurcd on
record hv the second partv to show that relaxation
of 10 year1- in ace is given to the candidnte. who
are physically handicapped and the pleadings at
rnrn-13 rcpaidinir ob'-ervations hv ITon
Supreme
Court are -"of defied or disputed in the written
statement. Then-fun- the L-ontention nf the first p;irtv
that she WHS not within the auc Jim;t and therefore
she was not qualified for servfi-e and as this tround
is also not proved therefore the application enrmot

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
be dismissed on account oi the contention of iJic
lust paity in Clause 12(c) of the VV.S. that the
second patty was over aged."
Coming to the next ground Clause 12-D in the written
statement wheie it hus been mentioned that the claim appli-
cation should be dismissed on the ground that the second
paity was not fit medically for the post of Composer by the
Medical Board held at Sasoon General Hospital and Jhc
iloes not have necessary qualification for the said job as per
Clause 12-H, both these grounds are taken together as the>
both dealt with the qualification for doing the job of Com-
poser and (he expeiicnce. It is pertinent to note that the
fiist paity has not brought any evidence on record to show
that the second party became medically unfit today for the
job of Composer. 'Ihey have also not bi ought any indepen-
dent evidene before the Court setting out the qualification
or Composer as it is the case of the first party that she
is not fit medically for the job of Composer and she does
not hove necessary qualification, the burden was on the first
parly to discharge the said contention. The management
witness who is examined before the Court in respect of u,i-
fitness of the second party has deposed that the second puity
cannot be employed as a Composer with her handicapped m
upper limb, The witness has not stated anything in the chief
examination about the qualification, which aie required for
thc appointment of a Composer. In the cross-examination the
management witness admitted that they have not made recent
medical examination
befoie
terminating second
party's
.services. He has also admitted in the cioss-examn, that he
cLiunot say anything about the qualification required for the
jnh ,i, there is no post.
Fiom the statements on lecord, it
can be infencd that before leiminating the services of the
second paity on the ground that she was not fit medically
for the job of Composer has not been pioved. This is evident
fiom the evidence of the management witness nnd in my view
without oblaining the opinion of a person duly qualified
to see v\ hether the personal was physically fit or unfit for
woik the management should not have come to the con-
dition that the second party is not fit medically. The manage-
ment must give reasons for their view that the second party
is not fil medically for the job of Composer because thev
must cct forth the observed data and then Inference must
b" drawn based on such observation. Ld. Adv. Tyer, in her
v.iitten syhopsis has submitted that the medical board ol
Sasoon General Hospital has certified that she cf.n work as
a Telephone Operator or Assembly line job. Therefore the
second party was not fit to woik as a Composer. However,
this Court cannot over look the letter of termination and
Ihe service certificate produced on record by the workman,
which clenrlv mentions that the second party was doing the
wurk of ComDoscr in the Printing Press. Therefore, although
the Sasoon General Hospital certificate has stated that she
could do thf woik of Telenhone Operator but the manage-
ment witness rdmittcd in the Chief Examination thnt there
was no post, but she was working
Which
means
1hfit,
nlfhrwuh the work of telephone operator was not being done
bv the second party, she was doing the work of Composer
for all these 1R years and the miMiaeement witness has also
shiled thar she was wnrkine in the Printing Press, che was
or'v helpjntt Apart from this statement there is no other
evidence bioucht on record to show that second party was
doing only hHni'T work in the Printing P/e^s. Whereas the
ilr rumen's
of
the first party i.e. termination letlev i-uid
tV certificate of service mentions that Ihe second partv WHS
denn" work of Composer So therefore this ii a rtrniradv-toi v
'1. fotnen1. whirti is aeainst the documents nroriured of the
fiiit nnrtv which urecs mr to discard the oral evidence pi\m
hv ilit* infir ••'emert wi<nees intf recent the documents viz

•fciTiii nm-tv wao doinir Comnnser work cn<l that oVie wis
Pf to do Ihe •vor''
is tV minaffemrnt failed to latisfv thf
Comt how thev hv> fnimed the opinion that the second1
p.ilv was not fit medically for the job of Composer.
Theiefore on consideration of the facts of the present
ca'e, the rontcntio'i of Ihe first party that there was no post
mithoriofd for Composer a-ntl that the second party was not
fil medicallv tn do the work of Composer, requires to bo
rrjce1?i1 '•nd the rontention of the first parlv i«i malafide
bei-»"<K» the document viz termination letter and the service
fwtificife f'vtn by th- officer of the first nnrlv shows that
fin- second p:irty wns doing the work of Composer and the
contention in the W.S. arc taken only with an intention to
defeat the claim of the second party. Therefore, I have conic
ttj the conclusion that the termination of services of the
second pJi ty-workman is illegal and malafide and therefoie
the second paity-Smt. Tresa Swamy is entitled to all the
iihcCs claimed in the application because as the employee
has put in 18 years continuous service and thereafter her
NCI\ices aie terminated illegally and today it will be very
difficult lor her to get employment with her handicape and
she has gained sufficient expeiience while working with the
uVst party therefore the service of (he second party requires
to be protected against the wrongful dismissal and so the
normal rule is of reinstatement on her Original post with
immediate effect nnd with full backwages on the basis of
her last diawn salaiy. Accordingly, I am inclined to allow
tlic icfere'iice and pass the following award.
AWARD
(J) The lcference is allowed.
(2) The first party is dilected to reinstate the second
paity-workman Smt. Tresa Swamy on her original post and
giy< her full backwages on the basis of her last drawn wages
wiih continuity of service.

AWARD
By Order No. L-22012|452|96-IR(C.II)
dated
29-8-1997 the Cemral Government in exercise
of
its powers under section 10(1 )(d) and (2A) of (he
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 referred the following
dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication .
"'Whether the action of the management
of
Dankurti Coal
Complex
of
Coal India
Limited in fixing the
pay of Shri
Ram
Chandra Makal in Tech.
Grade 'F'
less
than his junior Shri Partha Dasj is legal and
justified ?
If not, to
what relief
is Shii
Makal entitled and from which date?"
2. The matter under reference is very simple. The
effected workman Shri Ram CTiandre Makal raised
a grievance that his pay was fixed at a lower stage
than another workman, Shri Partha Das. though the
said Fartha Das was junior to him. When the master
could not
be settled by representation to the mana-
gement by the union arid also during conciliation
proceeding before the Labour Commissioner, it has
been referred to this Tribunal.
The question to be
decided is whether the action of the Dankuni
Coal
Complex in fixing the pay of the effective workman
Ram Chandra Makal, at a lower stage than that of
Partha Das is legal and justified.
3. The facts of the case are admitted. The Dankuni
Coal Complex
(D.C.C. in short) is
a
subsidiary
Company of Coal India Ltd., in short, known
as
C I.L. and it is a factory within the definition nf the
Industrial Dispufes Act, 1947. It is also admitted that
the employees of the Company arc governed by
the
National
Coal Wage Agreement, in
short, NCVVA
and at the material point of time NCWA-1H was in
force. There arc some bipartite and tripartite; settle-
ments ftom time to time between the Company and
its employees and these settlement
confer
certain
facilities, privileges and
benefits to the
employees.
The union which sponsors the cause of the effected
workman was established in 1085.
Th-J
concerned
workman was appointed on 2-3-19RP, iG Operator—
IV (Topmani in the T & SR in the t-ale of Rs. 1050-
27-1428
In 1980 he pot an increment and li:s pay
was fixed at Rs. 1077. 'Thereafter, an internal adver-
tisement was made asking for the options of
the
persons of th"s grade to be absorbed in Grade- F . He
was then in
Grade-'C. The
concerned
workman
applied for the same. He -,vas alto interviewed and
was selected for appointment in the higher grade wi'Ii
effect from
14-2-1990 in
the
scale of
pay
of
Rs 1075-30-1495. Since his basic pay was Rs. 1077
at the time of promotion, his next pay was fixed at
Rs. 1105 and after getting an increment of Rs.
30,
his pay was fixed at Rs. 1135 in 1991. On the other
liand, the said Partha
Das joined on 21-3-1988 as
Opera.or-lV (Bottom manj in the scale of Rs. 1050-
2/-1428. However, the nature of job of both
the
concerned workman
and' Partha
Das were
same,
ihough nomenclature were different. However,
the
pay of Shri Das was fixed at Rs. 1050 on the date of
his appointment and
he got one increment in 1989
and hJS basic pay became Rs. 1077. Accordingly, in
the next year i.e. in the year 1990 his basic pay come
lo be Rs. 1104 and it become Rs. 1131 in
1991.
Then, he was promoted to Grade-F with effect from
9-4-1991 and his basic pay was fixed accordingly at
Rs. 1155. The grievance of the concerned workman
is ihi't though he was getting Rs. 1135 in the year 91,
a pjL'3cn junior to him, namely, Partha Das was getting
Rs, 11'65. h has been contended on behalf of
the
workman that since the nature of job of both the
persons was the same, they were en'itled to the same
pay and similar treatment and there has been discri-
mination in fixation of pay of the concerned workman
by keeping him at a lever stape in the mat'er
or
fixation of pay than the person junior to him.
The
matter was accordingly raised and the dispire arose.
4. Facts arc no" being den'ed and challenged1 by the
management, but, it has been contended on behalf of
the management that at the time when the concerned
workman Ram Chandra Makal op'cd for Grade-F,
the said workman Partha Das did not opt and he re-
mained in the same grade. So, according to the prin-
c'fle of fixation on his promotion, his pay was fixed.
But, subsequently the ^aid Partha Das was also con-
sidered for promotion in regular course to Grade-F
and at that time since his pay was higher, his pay was
fixed at a rrcher level and it is only because of the
wstem of fixation of pay that the anomaly has tnl;cn
place.
Therefore. *hi* management denies that there
}<: PO Tnnift^r of discrimination or nnvthW unfair has
V n Hnip bv *W mfltwMnrnt so far ?s thf* concerned
worl-mnn !•-, conrernM.
5. Evidence, oral as well as documentary has been
laid by both the paries. The documents, arc also
pracicrlly unchallenged. So far as Ext. W-l is con-
cerned, it is minutes of the meeting held on different
dates between the management of D.C.C. and D.C.C.
Employees' Union concluded on 11-1-1994.
From
this, paper it appears that at Serial No. 9 the case of
the concerned workman had been discussed
and it
appears that the management of D.C.C. had recom-
mended the case ot the concerned workman to
the
Head Ouarlers of C.I.L. lor favourable
considera-
tion.
But the proposal did not find favour with the
Head Quarters of the C.I.L. and it was turned down.
Rxt. W-° is a pap~r which lays down the principles
of fkiron or pay of the employees. Ext. W-3 is the
copy of afn order of the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta
dated 29th August, 19S0 in case of Prafulla Prakash
Chowdhury and Ors., V. Sta*e of West Bengal and
Ors. Sinrlar matter arose there and it was held by
the Hon'ble High Court that the pay of a senior, if
fixed at a sface less lhan junior, should be compen-
sated.
Ext. W-4 is the representation of the effect-
ed workman to the General Manager regarding ano-
maly in his pav and Ext. W-5 is also a similar Je+ter
dated 16-12-1991, On the other hand1, Ext. M-l is the

mot'on was effected on 14-2-1990.
6. The union examined the concerned workman as
\VW-1 and Anup Ghosh, General Secretary of the
union as WW-2. On the other hand, the manage-
ment examined Sukhendu Bikash
Das
Mahapafra,
Personnel Manager of D.C.C, as its sole witness. So
far as the witnesses for the union are concerned, they
hove simply stated facts as stated above and have
taised a grievance that the concerned workman had
joined earlier in the same grade in which Partha Das
joined later. Th» concerned workman was
senior
tQ Partha Das and the Grade-F to which both of
them were subsequently promoted is also the same
grade having same nature of work, the pay fixed in
favour of fhc concerned workman should not have
been less than Partha Das. The witness
for
the
management has also admitted all these facts
and
has Stated that thj pay of the concerned
workman
was fixed as per rules governing selection, while the
ense of Paitha Das> was considered by fixing his pay
in terms of the promotional policy. Therefore, ac
coiding to him there was no discrimination, nor any-
thing illegal was done. However, this witness
ad-
mitted in his cross-examination that the nature of
work of both the workmen happen to be the same
pnd ii has al*o been stated that subsequently both the
posts of Topmnn and Bottomman have been merged
'n the same cadre.
7 In this context it has b=en submitted on behalf
of the urpon that since both the workmen concern-
ed, i.e.. Ram Chandra Makal and Partha Das were
appirnted in the same grade and since Ram Chandra
Makal was senior to Partha Dae in the matter of
trvnuiP, U appears to be unfair that his pay has been
fixed at a lower stage than that of Partha Das. How-
ever, it has been contended on behalf of the mana-
<rm-m that the comparative chart attached
with
the;r written statement will clearly show that there
hv teei n^'thei any unfair treatment, nor any iUe-
snl'tv in fixing the nay of both the workmen by the
Comrvnv
It has been pointed out that it is true
trnt both the persons were appointed as Operator-
TV in Technical Grade-G, but the cadres were diffe-
Ten< ns the concerned
workman^ Ram Chandra
Miknt w=>s appointed in
Grade-C as Operator-IV
ToDmans while Partha Das was appointed in Tech-
nical Grade-G as Operator-IV Bottomman.
It has
b=-cn ro;n!ed out that
originally both the persons
were in the same scale i.e. Rs. 1050-27-1428 and
the bTic mv of the
concerned
workman. Ram
„Chandra Makal .on 2-3-1988 was Rs. 1050. His next
date of increment was 1-3-1989 and on that date
his pay *vas fixed at Rs. 1077. His second date of
increment happened to be on 1-3-1990, but, in the
meanwhile he opted fpr appointment tq .Qpsrator-IH
Bottomman in Technical Grade-F in the scale
,qf
Rs. 1075-30-1495 and he was found fit and
was
appointed in Technical Grade-F with effect
from
14-24990
and on the
basis of his basic pay of
Rs. 1077, h'i pay was fixed at Rs. 1105. The next
date ot his increment now became l-2rl991 and on
that date his pay was fixed at Rs. 1135* On
the
other hand, Partha Das was appointed and his basic
pay was fixed at Rs. 1050 and his next date of incre-
ment was 1-44989
when his
basic pay became
Rs. 1077. His next increment date was 1-4-1990
on which date his basic pay became Rs. 1104. There-
after, the next datt of increment being 1-4-195*h his
bisic pay became Rs. 1131, Then he was prompt-
ed to the post of Bottornman, Operator-IH in Tecb-
nic 1 Grad:-F on 9-4-1991 and oa the basis o£ tus
baic pay of Rs. H31 his pay was fixed at Rs, 1165
in the .scale of Rs. 1075-30-1495. It i$, therefore,
contended on behalf of the management that actually
neither anything unfair has been done to the concern-
ed workman Ram Chandra Makal,, nor any favour
has been shown to Partha Das; Rather,Jt is a kind
of peculiar situation in which both the persons were
piomoted to the higher grade that there has been
difference in the matter of pay. It has been pointed
out on behalf of the management that though
the
management was sympathetic to the, concerned work-
man and recommended for consideration to the Htad
Quarters of CI.L., his case was turned d0Wn and
therefore
the concerned workman has no rigfet _to
claim parity in the pay with Partha Das and it can-
not be treated as an industrial dispute.
8. On behalf of the workman it has been contend-
ed that this principle has been ,laid dow-n fcw the
various High Courts and also by the
Hon^>le
Supreme Court that there should be equal pay for
equal work., Two cases have been cited in this con-
nection. The first case is of Dhirendra Chamoli &
Anr. v. State of U.R, reported in 1986-T-LLJ-134.
In this cast their Lordships of the Hon'ble Supreme
Court have hrld that the employees engaged as casual
workers on daily wage basis who were not getting
similar pay as Class-IV employees of the manage-
ment were entitled to the same pay as they
were
doing
the
same kind of work. Another ca&$ is
P. S^vita & Ors. v. Union of India & Ors.. reported
in 1986-M-.LJ-79. In this casjt their Lordships of
the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that bifercatfon of
a particular cadre in two cadrqs and fixing the pay
of one cadre at a hieher scale than another was ille-
gal and improper.
In this view of the matter, it has
bden submitted on behalf of the union that since both
the workmen arc in the same grade and were dis-
claiming ''ame kind duties, fixation of pay of the
concerned workman, Ram Chandra Makal at a lower
sta«e than that of Partha Das, a junior to him, was
improper and
illegal and therefore the reference
should be decided in favour of the workman.
9 On the other hand., it has been submitted on
behalf of the management that the principle of equal
pay for equnl work as laid down by their Lordships
of the Hon'ble; Supreme Court do not applv pn the
present case, brcause sea): of pay of bath the work-
men is the same and considering the simjfar rjature
of work of both the cadres they hsv been rne'rged
into one, but the fixation of pay of tfie ' \Jon<S!<Srned
247
workman is not arbitrary of discriminatory. Katner,
It is on the basis ot lhe policy or fixation of pay on
prombuon.
it has been
submitted that since the
concerned workman Ram Chandra Makal opted for
nis promotion by applying in an internal advertise-
mem, his pay on ths higher post was fixed on the
basis of stage of pay on which be was on that date
and his next daie ot increment had not then arrived.
On thp other hand, Shri Das was promoted in due
course subiequentiy and his pay was fixed in the
higher scale on the basis of the pay he was getting
fn the lower scale on that date. Therefore,
it is
submitted that there is no question of any illegality
or impropriety in fixation of pay of tne concerned
workman by the management. Further, It has been
submitted that the matter could relate to the princi-
ple of equity and equality and a Tribenal beiflg not
a court oi equity, the mattef cannot b2 decided on
this principle before this Tribunal. In this regard a
decision cf Full Bench oi
Central
Adffljaistiative
Tribunal at Hyderabad has been produced in which
a similar matter arose and the reference was made
to the Full Bench. The Full Bench decided
the
matter after "considering several decisions in this
regard that the Tribunal having no power to adjudi-
cate on the basis of equity, the matter cannot be
decided on this basis.
It has been pointed
out
that the I full Bench of the Administrative Tribunal
has very clearly decided in the case under reference,
namely, ,B. L. Somayajulu & Ors. v. Telecom Com-
mission & Ors., reported in (1997) 35 Administra-
tive Tribunals Cases 26 (FB) that there
may
be
variety ol cases where disparity arise due to special
circumstances or even due to error. So, these have
to be viewed with reference to the facts of the case
and it has been held by the Full Bench that disparity
in fixation of pay can be challenged only in the cir-
cumstance where there is provision of law in
that
bthalf and" on the basis of legal right and not on
pervassive notion of equity and equality.
10, It is, therefore, clear that though the concern-
ed workman might have a case on the basis of prin-
ciple
of
equity, within
scope of this reference,
thero is no question of his grievance being redfessed
by this Tribunal. The claim of the workman, there-
fore, has to be rejected and accordingly the reference
is decided in terms that the action of the manage-
ment of Dankuni Coal Complex of Coal India Ltd.
in fixing the pay of Ram Chandra Makal in Techni-
cal Gradc-F is neither illegal, nor unjustified.
J l . The reference accordingly stands disposed of.

1. The Government of India, Ministry of Laboi

has
referred the following dispute for adjudicatic
by this tribunal,—

2. The case foi the workman is that on 25-9-;

on verbal orders, She contmuou'ly worked
for
years, 9 months and 7 days. Her services were *
m'nated orally by the management on 2-7-89.
was regularly doing the typ'ng work in the office
the manag-ment on the office typewriter itself. P
lo terminating her service?, no notice was given
her by the management. She has also not been p
any retrenchment compensation by the managem
In this way, the management has failed to con-
with the provisions of Sec-25-F (a) and (b) of
248
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 20, 2001/PAUSA 30, 1922
[PART H—SEC. 3GD1
Industrial Dispute Act, 3947. In view of this fact,
the terit'ination of workman from service is illegal
which deserves to be set-aside. The workman is en-
titled to the regularisation in service with all conse-
quential benefits.
3. The case for ihe management is that the work-
man was nevsr employed as job typist by the mana-
gement,
The
relationship of master and servant
never existed between
tb; patties. The workman
was running typing institute of her own and there-
fore typing work was given to her by the manage-
ment at the rate mentioned hereinafter—
(a) For typing statements,
0.85 paise per copy
schedules and stencils.
(b) For letters, telegram
0.60 paise pir copy
etc.
4. The entire typing work given to her, was done
by the workman in her own typing institute far which
she was submitting bills and the payment was made
to her by the FC1 as per this bill. She never work-
ed in the office of FCI nor any fixed hours of duty
were allotted to her. She was neither given the
benefu of any leave nor she ever applied
for any
leave. In this way the workman cannot be said to
be an employee of FCI.
5. The manag:ment further alleges that for the
appointment of cltos-M employee, the recruitment
rules had to be followed.
The vacancies are notifi-
ed and the applications arc invited for the same.
The names arc also sponsored by the employment
exchange. In the present case, no such formality
for the workman's appointment as job typist
was
followed.
At the same time, the District Manager
has no authority to appoint any class HI employee.
Such
appointment is done only by the Regional
Manager at Bhopal In view of all these facts, the
workman is not entitled to get any employment as
claimed by her.
6. The paints for determination in the case arc as,
under.
1.
Whether the workman is entitled to emp-
loyment as claimed by her ?
2.
Relief and costs ?
7. Point No. 1.—The workman contents that she
was employed by the FCI on the basis of
verbal
orders. She has not deposed any where in her state-
ment that sh - was getting a fixed amount of salary
or on the basis of daily wages
prescribed by the
management.
Her name was never sponsored
through the Employment Exchange. She
has not
been able to establish that her appointment was done
by the competent Authority of FCI after complying
with the mandatory provisions of recruitment rules
According to her, she was employed as job typist.
For the appointment to this job, the recruitment rules
must be followed.
In no office on the basis of ver-
bal order, any appointment of Class III employee is
done as alleged by the workman. The employment
can be effected only by way of written order which
should be issued by the competent authority. In this
case, no such formality has
been
observed. The
workman has tried to get the employment through
back door entry which cannot be allowed under law.
8. The workman has filed the bills submitted by
her to the management regarding typing work done
by hir en the basis of prescribed rate. She had been
"paid the typing charges by the management as well.
These bills will not go to prove that the
workman
was appointed as job typist by the FCI. It can only
be presumed that she had done the typing job pri-
vately for which the prescribed remuneration
was
paid to "her. f Such'payment will not create any right
to the wc.kman foi getting employment in the ofBce
of FC1. This is nothing but an attempt to get the
employment through back door entry which is high-
ly improper.
9. Jn view of the foregoing reasons, it becomes
abaadontly clear that the workman was never
ap-
pointed by the FCI as job typist to carry on the typ-
ing wj^rk in the office as an employee hence she is
not entitled to gef any employment in the FCI as
claimed by her. Point No.rl is answered according-
ly-
10. Point No. 2.—In view of my finding given on
point No. 1, the workman is not entitled to any re-
lit--f as claimed in the present case as no employer-
employee relationship exists between the parties.
11 On the reasons stated above, it is held that
ihe workman is not entitled to any relief as claimed
by her. The reference is accordingly answered in
tho favour of the management and against the work-
man. Parties shall bear their own cost.
12. Copy of the award be sent to the Government
of India, Ministry of Labour as per rules.

Passed on this 12th day of December, 2000
1 The Government of India, Ministry of Labour
vide order No. L-22012|23l|96-IR(C-II),
dated
30-1-96 has referred the following dispute for adju-
dication by this tribunal—
"Whether the
action of the Agent| Sub-Area
Manager, Rajnagar Opencast Project
of
SECL Hasdeo Area in dismissing Shri N. R.
Malik electrical supervisor, Grade-A Raj-
nagar Opencast Project w.e.f. 1-10-94
is
legal and justified ? If not, what relief
the worksnan is entitled?"
2. The case for the workman is that he was work-
ing as electrical supervisor in the employment
of
SECL. His duty was of supervisory nature.
He
was drawing salary at the rate of more than Rs. 1600
per month. He was served with a chargesheet dated
3-6-94 for committing alleged misconduct.
He re-
plied to the chargesheet on 12-6-94. The Depart-
mental Enquiry was
conducted
against him and
Shri B. N. Tripathi was appointed as Enquiry Officer
vide order dated 25-2616 [93. The charges levelled
against him were false and concerned. The DE for
the alleged misconduct was initiated by the manage-
ment against the workman with an ulterior motive to
punish him by throwing out of the employment. The
action of the management was malafide.
3. The workman further alleges that he had en-
gaged Shri
Sndevati,
President of MP Shramik
Koyla Sabha|Sangb to defend him during the en-
quiry proceedings. Shri Sudevan was to" attend the
meeting at Bhopal c>n 15-7-94 and therefore
the
workman had sought an adjournment in the Depart-
mental Enquiry requesting to fix the next date
of
hearing after 20-7-94. The Enquiry Officer never
looked into the request and proceeded expartc against
him. The sufficient opportunity was not given
to
him to defend himielf during the enquiry proceed-
ings. Ultimately the order of dismissal dt. 1-10-94
was passed against hint
The Enquiry Officer had
exonerated him from all charges but th« Disciplinary
Authority without giving any opportunity of hearing
him personally he disagreed with the hndrng ol en-
quiry officer and passed the impugned dismissal order
on 1-10-94 which is absolutely illegal. He preferred
an appeal against the order of dismissal but to no
effect.
The dismissal
order was passed
without
assigning any cogent reasons. In view of all these
facts, the dismissal order deserves to be set aside.
The workman is entitled to reinstatement with back
wages and other consequential monetary benefits.
4. The case for the management is that during the
Disciplinary Enquiry, the Enquiry Officer had given
the ample opportunity to the workmen for engaging
the co-worker to defend him and sufficient opportu-
nity was made available to him to defend him pro-
perly during the enquiry
proceedings. The work-
man requested for adjournment on 15-7-94 for which
no sufficient cause was explained by him. He did
it with intend to delay the
enquiry
proceedings.
Taking this fact into consideration, the Enquiry Offi-
cer proceeded exparte against the workman.
The
management had rully proved the charges
against
the workman and the order of dismissal passed by
the Disciplinary Authority is perfectly valid
and
legal which does not require any interference. The
workman had failed to produce the defence witness
though he was given ample opportunity by the En-
quiry Officer in iesp.-ct thereof. TVe workman deli-
berately kept himself away from participating in the
Enquiry proceedings. The management therefore
cannot be blamed for the said conduct of the work-
man.
The enquiry was properly conducted against
the workman and the principle of natural
justice
was followed.
The management had no malafides
to punish the workman by serving him with a false
chargesheet. The allegation of workman in this res-
pect is baseless and far from truth. The punishment
awarded by the management is proportionate to the
misconduct and therefore the workman is not entitl-
ed to be reinstated with all back wages as claimed
by him.
5. The points for determination in the case arc as
under :
1.
Whether the Disciplinary Enquiry conduct-
ed ngainst the workman was just and pro-
per?
2. Whether the management is entitled to lead
evidence to prove the alleged misconduct
of workman 7
3.
Whether the punishment awarded
by the
management is just and proper?
4.
Relief and costs ?
6. Point Nos. 1 & 2.—Admittedly the workman
was served with a chargesheet for alleged misconduct
and the DE was conducted against him, during the
course of enquiry, the workman had applied for ad-
journment as his defence Assistant was not available
on the date of hearing. The Enquiry Officer
did
not think it proper to adjourn the proceedings any
further and accordingly he proceeded with the en-
quiry. After carefully assessing the evidence adduc-
ed by the management during the Enquiry Proceed-
ing, the Enquiry Officer held the charges not prov-
ed e^alnst the workman. He submitted his enquiry
report to the Dfsdplioary Authority who disagreed
250
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 20, 2001/PAUSA 30, 1922
[PART It—SEC. 3(ii)]
with the findings of Enquiry Officer and passed the
dismissal order against the workman without giving
him the opportunity of hearing before recording his
conclusions. The Disciplinary Authority was found
to hear the delinquent before arriving at the different
conclusions. It is surprising to note that he did not
thinly it proper to afford the opportunity to the work-
man to put up his CJSC prior to tlje passing of dis-
missal order. In <uch a situation, the order of dis-
missal passed by the Disciplinary Authority is found
absolutely illegal which cannot be sustained- Please
see AlR-1998-SC-2713-Punjab National Bank
and
others versus Kunj Behari Misra with Chief Person-
nel (Disciplinary Authority), Punjab National Bank
and others versus Shanti Prasad Goel.
7. In view of the aforesaid pronouncement by the
Supreme Court, the order of dismissal passed by the
management against the workman is held illegal. The
Departmental Enquiry conducted against the work-
man is improper. Point No. 1 is answered accord-
ingly.
8. As far as the question of adducing evidence by
the management to prove the alleged misconduct of
the workman is concerned, it shall be improper if
the
management is
allowed to open the enquiry
against the workman on the same charges
which
have been held to be not proved by the
Enquiry
Officer.
It shall hardij be justified in allowing the
management to lead evidence to prove the alleged
misconduct of the workman before this tribunal in
the light of the aforesaid pronouncement
of
the
Supreme Court. Hence the management is not en-
titled to lead evidence to prove the misconduct of the
workman,
9. Point No. 3.^In view of my finding given on
point No. l, the punishment of dismissal awarded b^
the management against the workman is illegal which
deserves to be set aside as laid down in AIR-1998-
SC-2713. This point is answered accordingly.
10 Point No. 4.—Jn the light of foregoing reasons,
the dismissal order
passed by the
management
against the workman is hereby set aside. It is order-
ed that the workman shall be reinstated with all back
wages and other monetar> benefits. In the circum-
stances of the case, parties shall bear their own cost.

1. The Government of India, Ministry pf Labour
vide order pb, I^22pi2|358[9l-THCTlt dated 12^2-92
has referred the |tpjlowing dispute for adjudication by
this tribunal:—
"Whether the action
of the jQeneral Manager,
Jamuna and K^otrrui areas of "SECL, J*. O.
Jamuna Colliery, District Shahdol in ter-
minating the services of Mohd. Ajamatystdin
Badli-workman of
Govinda colliery w.e.f.
25-2-99 is legal and justified ?" Jf'not,
what relief is the workman entitled to ?"
2. The case for the workman is tfyat he applied for
appointment to the post of worked as category' I maz-
door and after the interview and comitation he was
selected for the same by the management, Thereafter
the malnagement sent him for vocational training of
badli worker as category-! mazdoor vide order dated
8-7-89. Thereafter his appointment was further ex-
tended for a perjod of 90 days vide order dated 1-9-89.
In the meantime the management wanted to acquire
the applicant's father's land in respect of a plot no. 938
area-4.4 acres and an agreement in this respect was
signed! by the parties. After this agreement, the appli-
cants order for appointment
was approved by the
Dv. Manager Jamuna and Kotma Area vide order da*ed
15-1-90. His Appointment- wa$ approved for a further
period of 30 days and was allowed to perform his
duties. Thereafter ftcwas flowed to, wrjrk for a week
vide ^rder dated 17-2-50. Thereafter the now of
251
the workman was struck off and he was slopped irom
attending his duty. The workman fufthe'r alleged that
no enquiry Was conducted prior to the order of dls-
continueing his services by the management. He was
disallowed from the work because of a case with regard
to acquisition of land which was pending before the
commissioned, ReWa and he did not persuade to with-
draw the case and entered into an agreement with the
management.
His
termination is against the
pro-
visions of standing Orders.
After completing 155 days
tjis services could not be terminated as he became a
pefrh'anent
workman.
The junior persons, who were
appointed along wjfh the applicant were regained in
the ^rvices by the management. The titanination of
workman amounts; to ah unfair labour practice. His
termination also amounts to retrenchment and it could
not be done without complying with the provisions
of Sec. 25-F of I.D. Act. i947» In view of all thijse
facts, he is entitled to reinstatement with all conse-
quential monetary benefits.
3. The case for tile management is that the appli-
cant was appointed1 as a badli workman for 90 days
on temporary basis vidf order dated 18-7-89.
His
services canie to an end automatically after the ex-
piry of the period stipulated in the appointment order.
The appointment was given to the workman because
land measuring 4.40 acres
under Khasra no. 938
situated in villaue Lahsui teh. Kotma was required for
mirung operation,
Th^ management was informed
that the said land belonged to one Shti Mohd. Idris
and he was in direct possession of the same. Shri Mohd
Idris requested the management for giving employment
to his son applicant Mohd.
Ajmuludin in lieu of
acquiring the land for mining operation. Accordingly
the management jta^e the temporary appointment for
90 davs to the alpplic:in\ Tn rje«ninncr- of ihe temm-
rary appointmen* order, the applicant joined his duly
on 2-9-89. While working so lie was granted further
extcntinn far ^0 cTavs we.f. 16-1-90 and on the exrvrv
of 10 davs his services WPTC tennina'ed w e f 17-2-Q0
because in the meanwhile it was reported that the
land Hid not heionp to 1hTi Mohd Tdris bu* it ac-

,
4. The management further alleged that Shri Mohd.
Idrs had riven false information to the management
and on this basis he secured temporary emplovttient
for the applicant.
The SECL was the real owner of
the snid land.
The services of the applicant were
terminai'ed as per the stipulation in the contract
of
service.
His appointment came to an end automati-
cally on 17-2-90.
His termination is therefore just
and proper which does not call for any interference.
ID the instant case, no enquiry was reauircd prior to
termination of the applicant's services. The prov's'dns
of Scc-25-F of I.D. Act, 1947 has not been violated
by the manaPement. Hi? termination does not amount
to retrenchment. The applicant is not entitled to any
relief as claimed by him,
5. The points for the termination in the case are
as under:
1. Whether the workman is entitled to reinstate-
ment
with
all consequential
monetary
benefits?
2. Relief and costs?
6. Point No. 1—
It is an admitted fact that the workman was
ap-
pointed by the management of SECL, Jamuna
and
Kotma after his name was sponsored through
the
employment exchange Shahdol and he was properly
interviewed as per rules. He was employed as badli
workman on temporary basis for a period of 90 days
vide order dated 18-7-89. This appointment was done
under the National Coal Wage Agreement No. 3 with
a condi ion that his absorption in the company's ser-
vice shall be considered after the satisfactory perlor-
mance report. He was directed to report for duties to
Sub Area Manager, Govinda colliery. In persuance of
this appointment order, the workman reported for duly
to Sub Area Manager, Govinda on 25-7-89. On that
very day he was relieved for training at Mjnes Voca-
tional Training Centre, Jamuna and Kotma. The appli-
cant undertone training, w.e.f. 26-7-89 to 16-8-89
for performing duty in the underground coal mines.
The certificafc in this respect Ex. P-2 was also issued
to him by the training centre.
He received! salary |
watrcs for a period of 22 days when he was undergoing
trainina: at the Vocational
Training
Centre. After
successfully completing the vocational training he re-
ported for his regular posting and the General Mana-
ger gave him the regular posting order on 1-9-89 Exhi-
bit P-3. This appointment was for a period of 90 days.
He was allotcd Token No. B|5367 and his name was
entered in form-B register also.
This rcgis er is nothing
but the service record of the workman.
7. The applicant joined his duty on 2-9-89
after
receiving the regular posting order. He continued
to
work from 2-9-89 to 30-11-89. Thereafter he
was
continued in the service till 16-1-90. Again his peiiod
of employment was extended for a period of 30 days
vide order dated 17-1-90 and he continued to woik
upto 16-2-90. Thereafter again his period was extended
from 17-2-90 to 14-3-90. In +his way the workman
con'inuously worked in the employment of SECL foi
a period of 198 days as required under Sec-25 (b)
(ii)(a)(i) of the I.D. Act, 1947. The management
witness Shri Hargave has admitted that the workmnn
\Vas no1 Served with any notice nor paid any retrench-
ment compensation before the termination of his ser-
vice.
The workman was working, in the underground
mine 'and therefore a requisite perod of service is 190
days as per Sec.-25(b)(iiXaKi) of the I.D. Act, 1947,
v,as fulfiled by him. In such a circumstonc™, the pro-
visions of Sec-25-F wilt be applicable in this cacc ai
the workman has continuously worked for a' perod of
198 days. He was therefor© required to be noticed
and paid compensation prior to the terminaion of his
service.
8. The management has tried to impress that
trie
apjxvn'mcnt of the Workman was in lieu of the la:nd
of the workmen's father required *o be acquired for
" purposes of ftiinintf operation" by the' SECL. One Mohd.
Idris had claimed to be the real owner of the said
252
THE GAZETTE OF INJ3IA : JANUARY 20, 2001/PAUSA 3p, 1922
PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
land. The name of the workman's father is Mohd,
Hias and not Mohd. ldris, Mohd. Hias was neither
owner of the said land nor he had applied in a pres-
cribed profonna to the SECL for the appointment ot
his son applicant in lieu of his land to be acquired by
the management. Mohd. Hias was in no way connected
with the land in dispute. In view of this fact, the claim
of the management is entirely baseless that the work-
man's in lieu of his land to be acquired by the SECL.
This plea in no manner can help the management in
the instant case as it has no bearing with the dispute.
Their own witness the then General Manager Shri S. K.
Juneja has admitted in his statement that the workman
was never given appointment under the quota of land
ouster nor his|her father's land was acquired by the
SECL. He has also admitted that the services of the
workman were not terminated on the ground1 that he
was given appointment under the employment of the
land ouster in lieu of acquiring the land of his father
Mohd. Tdris and the land was really owned by the
SECL Company. The workman had no relationship
with Mohd. ldris at all. According to Shri Juneja, the
real dispute of the land1 was between +he management
and Mohd. ldris and not with the father of the appli-
cant Mohd. Dias. In view of the managemenfs own
evidence, their claim remains unes+ablished a& far as
the reason for terminating the workman's service is
concerned. They have failed to prove that the work-
man was terminated because the land of his father was
found *o be disputed and therefore it could not be
acquired for mining purposes of SECL.
9. The vorkman had legally completed the conti-
nuous service of 198 days working in the underground
mines of SECL.
As laid down
by the provisions
of
Sec-25(b)<ii)(a)(i)
of
I.D.
Act,
1947.
He
was neither given atny notice nor any retrenchment com-
pensation prior to terminating his services. This termi-
nation is therefore illegal and deserves to be quashed,
the workman is perfectly entitled to re-instatement with
aJl back wages. Point No. 1 is answered accordingly.
10. Point No. 2 : In view of the findings given on
point no. 1, the workman is entitled to reinstatement
with all back vcages and other consequential monetary
benefits.
>'
11. On the reasons stated above, the termination
order of the workman bv the manaeement is hereby
quashed. It is ordered that the workman be rein-
sta ed with all back wares and he be paid all the conse-
oiv-niial monetarv benefits as if he were never dis-
m'oyd from service. The period of ousfer from ser-
V1y-. -hill N> deemed *o be treated on duty and this
period shall be treated as continu'tv in service for the
tvinws of all wnsionarv benefits. In the c;rcumstances
of ilvs cse paries shall bear their own cost.

[PARI II—SEC. 3(ii)]
The evidence on record clearly shows that it is the
duty of the ward boys to attend to pre-operative work
like shaving of particular part of the body.
WW-1 herself supported the management in the
domestic enquiry.
It shov, s thai it is the duty of the ward boys to
attend to shaving work for patients before operation.
WW-2 who is a barber himself deposes that the ward
boys were attending to the shaving and cleaning work
of the patienls before operation.
MW-1 who is no other than the Medical Superinten-
dent of (he Area Hospi'al. Godavarikhani, deposes that
it is the duty of the ward boys to attend to cleaning
and shaving work for patients before operation.
I, therefore, consider that it is the duty of the waid
boys to attend to prc-operative work for patients parti-
cularaly shaving of particular part of the body rc-
quiied to be operated,
The petitioner a Fused to at'end to do the woik en-
trusted to him.
The petitioner wilfully refused to do the work con-
tending that it is not the duty of the ward boys to
attend to pre-operatiive work like shaving of particular
part of the body.
It is wilful disobedience of lawful duty.
The petitioner has no defence.
1, therefore, consider that the termination of Ihe
services of the petitioner is legal and justified,
14. Counsel for the petitioner requested for exer-
cising power U|s. 11-A of the Industrial Disputes Act.
For exercising power u/s. ll-A of the Indusfrial
Disputes Act, there is limit, i.e., maintenance of Indus-
trial peace between workers and manageme.it.
Tf the exercise of power u[s. ll-A results in breach
of peace between workers and management, certainly
it is limit and power should not be exercised.
In the present case, the petitioner is betit upon asser-
ting that it is not the duty of ward boys to attend
to pre-operativc work particularly shaving of parti-
cular part of the body of patient.
If the petitioner is reinstated into service, he will
not attend1 to that work.
The other ward boys may also follow him. Then,
there is breath of Industrial peace between workers
and management
I, therefore,
consider that the petitioner
cannot
be reinstated into service, because Industrial
peace
shall lie maintained between workmen and manage-
ment.
Hence, T answer the point accordingly.
In the result, the reference is answered against the
claimant as "the termination of the services of the
claimant is leeal and iustified". Each party do bear
their own costs.

This petition coming before me for final hearing in
the presence of Sri, K. Sudhakar Reddy,
Advocate
for the petitioner and of Sri, C. SatyanaTayana Reddy,
Advocate for the respondent and having stood for con-
sideration till this date, the court passed the following:
AWARD
1. This is a petition filed U|s. 2-A(2) of the Indus-
trial Disputes Act, 1947, as amended by A.F., Amend-
ment Act, 1987.
Facts of the case briefly are ais follows ;—
The petitioner was
appointed as
badli-filler on
20-12-1988
on compassionate grounds. He worked
upto 29-12-89.
He was not permitted to work w.e.f.
30-12-89. The petitioner got issued a notice to
the
respondents. The respondents issued proceedings dt,
11-1-97 denying reinstatement. He was terminated from
the service on the ground1 that he was not the son of
Bairi Komuraiah.
2. Respondent filed
counter stating that the pe i-
tioner was appointed on compassionate grounds due to
death of his father Bairi Komuraiah. The petitioner
falsely claimed himself as sou of the deceased
Bairi
Komuraiah.
Hairi Rajesh and Bairi Laxmaiah working in the res-
pondent company lodged1 complaint against the peti-
tioner stated that he Mas not the- son of Bairi Komu-
raiah.
Further, il was complained that flu1 wife of
the deceased Komuraiah by accepting illegal gratifi-
cation from the petitioner submitted application for
employment to the petitioner.
The management con-
ducted enquiry and recorded statements of co-workers
of Bairi Komuraiah.
It was revealed that the peti-
tioner was
not
the
son
of the
deceased Bairi
Komuraiah.
The petitioner did not participate in the enquny
intentionally.
Ihc petitioner did not file any docu-
ment to show that he was the son of Baivi Komu-
raiah.
Hence, the petitioner was terminated from
the service on 3-4-1989.
3. Ex. W-l is marked on behalf of the petitioner.
Ex. M-l to Ex. M-3 arc marked on behalf of the
respondent,
4. Heard both sides.
5. The point for consideration is whether
the
termination of the petitioner
from the
service
is
illegal, if so, whether the petitioner can be reinstated
into service.
6. POINT : Ex. W-l is reply notice dt. 2-1-97 re-
jecting ihc request of the petitioner for reinstatement.
Ex. M-l is letter dt. 3-4-89 removing the petitioner
from the service.
The reason for removing the petitioner from the ser-
vice was not given in this letter.
But the petitioner knew that he was removed from
the service because, he was not the son of
Bairi
Komuraiah.
The respondent made enquiry with regard to the peti-
tioner whether he was the son of Bairi Komuraiah or
not.
The respondent came to know that the peti-
tioner was an imposter.
The wife of Bairi Komuraiah
accepted illegal gratification a'nd recommended employ-
ment to the petitioner as if he was the son of
Bairi
Komuraiah.
The pelitioner did not produce any
documentary
evidence to show that he was the son of Bairi Komu-
raiah and he was not an impostor.
7. The petitioner ought to have examined himself
as a witness in this case and ought to have proved that
he was the son of Bairi Komuraiah and he was
not
impostor.
The petitioner did not examine himself as a wit-
ness to prove that he was the son of Bairi Komuraiah.
The petitioner cannot claim reinstatement
unless
he is the son of Bairi Komuraiah.
If he is not the
son of Bairi Komuraiah, he is an impostor. He cannot
be reinstated into service.
8, There is no need to frame charge against
the
petitioner and there is no need to conduct regular de-
partmental enquiry against the petitioner because it was
not a misconduct during the course of employment,
The very basis of appointment of the petitioner was
that he was the son of Bairi Komuraiah. If that was
false, the petitioner would not have been appointed at
all.
Since the petitioner did not make any effort
to
prove that lie was the son of I ate Bairi Komumiah,
ho u;is lemovcd from the service.

[PART IT—SF.C. 3(ii)J
The petitioner has not made any effort to prove
that he is the son of Late Komuruiah atleasc by exa-
mining himself as a v* itness in tliis court.
I, therefore, consider that the petitioner is an
im-
postor and he is not the son of Bairi Komuraiah. His
termination from the service is legal.
He cannot be
rcmsta.ed into service.
Hence, I answer the
pmnt
accordingly.
In the result, this petition is dismissed. The order of
removal of the petitioner from service is confirmed.
Each party to bear their own costs.

It constitutes misconduct as per Standing Orders, The
petitioner submitted his explanation and t'hereaiter
the enquiry was conducted on 8-7-1993 in violation
of principles of natural justice, by not affording any
reasonable opportunity. The petitioner was suggested
that the enquiry would be nominal and further ad-
vised that if Ihe pleads guilty, he would be exonerated
from charge by a lesser punishment.
Believing the
version of the Officers, the petitioner admitted
the
same. The Enquiry Officer
without considering the
record and medical certificates
submitted by him,
submitted his report
proving the
charge levelled
against the petitioner. The management' without appli-
cation of its mind, issued a show cause notice pro-
posing dismissal from service
with pre-determined
mind. Finally the punishment was1 imposed dismissing
him from service which U excessive, harsh and cjis-
1,/
propon'ionate to Lhc charge levelled against him. The
petitioner is a lay man and not acquainted with the
legal pioceedings and so he CL.U1J iiot make proper
representation in the National
Jndust'rial Tribunal
while it was pending there. All the whiL Hie petitio-
ner could not secure any eniplo)..i..nt' in ipitc ol his
best eftnrts. The petitioner i> a poor man having the
responsibility and is depended by a laige family. He
is now aged about 35 years and he i.i not* in a posi-
tjon to secure any other employment anywhere. Hence
prayed to set aside the dismissal order dt. 24-12~iy93
and tc order reinstatement
wiih continuity of ser-
vice, increments and other attendant beneiits.
3. Tn brief, the reply filed by the management is
as under: The petitioner was not regular to his duties
and within a short period of his joining the sen ice.
He started remaining absent unauthonsedly and he
was initially issued a 'caution Memo1 for his absence
for 4 days in the year 1987. He failed to -how any
improvement in
attending the
duty legularly and
starting absent for longer periods. He remained ab-
sent for 125 days on lfi occasions in 1989 and for
72 days on 4 occasions from 1-1-90 to 31-3-90. So
he was issued with a charge slheet dated Hi-4-1990
and an enquiry was conducted into the changes. Tn-
spitte of taking charge sheet and departmental enquiry
thereto, there was no progress in attending the dutk-s.
But he again remained absent for 184 days on 16
occasions during the period from Apnl to Decem-
ber, 1990. Tlhe petitioner war, found guilty of the
earlier charges-. The competent authority U ok a lenient
view and the punishment of 'reduce .n in basic pay
by one inrcment for one year' was imposed. He was
further charge sheeted vide Memo dated 15-5-9 V for
his absenteeism during the period from April to De-
cember, 1990 which was also pioved in the domes-
tic enquiry. The petitioner was punisht J by way of
reduction in basic pay by one stage with cumulafhe
effect vide letter dated 27-1-199..', It can be observ-
ed that the petitioner was very casual towards em-
ployment and also
there was no improvement in
attending the duties and *.o which WCK" found to be
mosi' unsatisfactory, He .igain lcmaincd absent lor
183 days on 19 occasions in the \car 1991 and he
was issued a charge sheet dated 14-7-1992, 'J hough
he received the said charge sheet, he failed to submit
his explanation for it. An enquiry was conducted by
giving him opportunity. The allegation that n was
violative of principles of natural justice is not cor-
rect. The petitioner himself declined to f ike assist-
ance during the enquiry. He pleaded 'guilty' ot the
charges on his own free will and volition. The peti-
tioner hns not filed anv material dncurwnis nr medi-
cal certificates and he failed to explain for Ibis ab-
sence. _ It is not correct1 to state that the competent
authority has mssed the impugned order of dismissal
mechanically. The Natioml Industrial Tribunal after
hearing both
sides, delivered
the
judgment on
12-4-1994 upholding flic action of the management.
Hence praved to confirm (he impugned order of dis-
missal by dismissing the claim of the petitioner.
4. The point for
adjudication
i\ whether tfr
punishment of dismissal awai led fo Mr.
Mirza
Rehman B»ig by the Mana,<ronvm i? HK< -ind proper
as per rules and in pnipm-tron fr» hiq nU� ? Tf rmT to
what relief the woilcman is entitled to ?
5. The petitioner filed a memo stating tiiat he i»
not disputmg the validity of domestic enquiry and
that the matter may be decided on merits considu-
mg the facts on record and as to the proportionality
ot punishment that was imposed by the Management.
b. On me date ot hearing, on the side ol the manage-
ment, the enquiry recoid was marked as hxs. Ml te»
1VI10 and proceeded with,
/, Li, Ml is iiic enaige aheci in which the vork-
man iieiein Was chuigea mat he remained absent lor
i6j Utiys (.i.e. on ry occasions in ihe year lyyj ) with-
out leave anu wnnout piior pel mission which amounts
to misconduct as per clause z8 and 28(1.^ ol Con-
cluci Kiucs, so he was asked to submit his explanation
aiiu to siate whether he desires to be heard, in person
or in case he wishes to examine or cross-exunine the
witnesses. Fuisuani to issue of the charge sheet Ex. M2
inclination was issued about appointment of the En-
quuy Olaccr asking him to attend before him and
lake assistance ot a co-employee of the Department
to defend himself, Followed by it, the Enquiry Oilicer
sent mtimauon Ex. Mj to the workman to aticnd the
enquiry on 28-5-93 and since he did not attend to
the hearing, it was leposted on 8-7-93 as per Ex. M4
intimation. On the date of heanng, Ex, M5 questionairo
was given by the enquiry ofiicer to the workman asking
him to answer the questions therein. The questions that
were put to workman were (1) whether he can read
and write hnghsh (2) whether he understood the con-
Icnts of the charge sheet (3) whether he pleads guilty
of the charges levelled against him or that he requires
any assisianee to defend himself. For which the answcis
given bv the workman are said to be positive. Further
the OHice Superintendent was requested to produce the
muster io!l for the year 1991 asking the workman to
pei use the muster roll and1 if he feels necessary he may
cross-examine the concerned
Superintendent. As the
workman has declined to cross-examine the witness
underneath the proceedings and signatures of the En-
quiry Officer, the Office Superintendent and the delin-
quent were taken. The statement of the workman wis
d\=o taken to (he effect that since he was threatened
by the ma'Crnal uncles not allowing him to attend foi
c'uty and so he was irregular in attending to the office
s'nee J 989, If a chance is given, he is pi epared to woi k
eithei at CTE or any place away from Hyderabad,
Further the statement was recorded about
seeking
p.irdon for the lapse that he maty be permitted 1o earn
livelihood to imintain his family.
Basin> on the said
'liiiCtiicnt of workman, the Enquiiy Officer submitted
B\ M6 Enquiry Report to the employer and in pur-
suance of it, the management has issued show cause
notice Ex. M7 calling him to submit his explanation
why he should not be imposed punishment for the
proved
misconduct.

jfiockingiy disproponionatc and also seek tor review
oi me miuings ot the Enquiry Umcer as the Act is a
welfare legislation intended to protect the interests of
Hie workman and to have industrial peace. No doubt
the management has conducted the enquiry rnancu-
luusiy to piove the charges of the workman by ap-
pointing an Enquiry Orhcer. As, seen from the record,
die Enquiry Ofhcer has noi examined any of the man-
agement witnesses except giving questionnaire Ex. M5
to the workman to give reply either 'Yes' or 'No' to
his questions. It is not the case of the management
thai, the workman is a fully a literate person. His ad-
mission i;> that he coulct read and write English and
uiderstood the contents of the charge sheet.
Mere
obtaining of his signature on th© questionnaire is not a
foolproof method of conducting the enquiry. The work-
man facing charges in a departmental enquiry is in the
position of a delinquent as such the initial burden is
on the management to prove the charges by producing
necessary witnesses and1 the records but not to put ques-
tions to the delinquent asking him whether he pleads
guilty or not and whether the records placed before
him tire tme or not. Though strict rules of the Evi-
dence Act need not be applied in the departmental
enquiry. Yet 1,he principles of natural justice are to be
followed.
Even though Ex. Mil order was passed
by the National Industrial Tribunal approving the
pimishment imposed by the employer, still it is not a
bar for the Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal for
ndjudicating the dispute under Section 10 of the I.D.
Act. The Enquiry Officer has not at all examined the
management's witnesses to speak out the facts relating
to the charges with reference to the documents. After
all the workman was holding Class IV Post of Engi-
neer-helper who requires no educational qualification
except primary education. If that is the case it is hard
to expect that the w orkman had admitted that he knows
rcadinp and writing Enciish that he understood HIP
f.'imUMi's of the chai'p'. Oieef IMVI thereby has waived
m rHit lo be defended by a friend or co vvorVer. As
J^
1)
seen from the record the Enquiry was not done in a
fair manner. Despite provision to Section 11A of I.D.
Act, the workman has a right to urge the grounds re-
guiding disciplinary proceedings as al whole and if
he feels he may let in evidence in regard to the same.
The
workman's
right
was
recognised
even
under
the
pre-existing
law
and!
the same
is
retained
under
new
Section
11-A of
I D . Act. Vjde in the casi
of Java India Private
Limited vs. Madan Mohan [1972(1) L U Page 360].
Even though the workman has not disputed the dis-
ciplinary proceedings, still the Labour Court or In-
dustrial Tribunal has the power to review the entire
evidence obtained at the Departmental Enquiry.
It
can interfere even in case where- it feels
that
the
punishment is disproportionate
to the misconduct
committed by the worker. It! may also award lesser
punishment in lieu of discharge or dismissal which
it could not du under the pre-existing law. In respect
of proceedings under Section 33(2) of the I.D. Act,
the benefit? of Section ll-A
was not extended.
By
means of amended
Act, 1971 introducing Section
11-A, the powers of Labour Court of Tribunal are
enlarged to review the evidence obtained before the
Domestic Enquiry which came into force with effect
from 15-12-1971. Thus the amendment has empower-
ed the Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal or Natio-
nal Industrial Tribunal to sit over the decision of rhe
employer (dismissing or discharging
the workman
from service and set aside the discharge or dismissal
effected by the employer, and to award relief of re-
instatement or any lesser punishment1 in lieu of dis-
charge or dismissal depending
upon the facts and
circutastances of elach case. Further bv means of
this power the Tribunal may interfere with the quan-
tum of punishment even if the discharge or dismissal
was justified. When in a particular case the Labour
Court or Industrial Tribunal, on the facts and cir-
cumstances of the case, comes to the conclusion that!
a lesser punishment in lieu of dismissal or discharge
from service would be sufficient.
11. Thus on an over all consideration of the fact-
ual and legal aspects, it is reasonable to hold that
the punishment of dismissal of the workman herein
as imposed by tflie employer covered by Ex. M9 is
shockingly disproportionate
to the gravity of the
charges of misconduct1 committed by the workman,
for absenting himself from duty. It is a lit case to
give a chance to the workman to be more loyal and
sincere to his service in future. If such an opportunitv
is not given fhe entire family of the workman would
face severe crisis and conuequence<r. It is iust nnd
reasonable to set aside the impugned order of dis-
missal.
12. In the result, an award is passed setting aside
the impugned order of dismissal E^ MO bv ordering
reinstatement1 the workman Mirza Rehmnn Bare into
service within 30 days from the date of publication
of this award. He i^ not entitled for any back wages
on the principle of 'no
work no pay' during the

duct, he is imposed punishment bv stopping me in-
