The Schedule rends as follows. :—
"Whether the chum of Sri S. Yesurathnam for reinstatement into services of the Indian Overseas Bank, Chennai is legal and jusitficd ? If not, what relief is thj workman entitled to?" 2. On receipt of this order of reference from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour as an industrial dispute for adjudication, this Tribunal has taken the reference on file as l.D. No. 58/2000. The notices were ordered to be sent to both the parties with a direc- tion to appear before this Tribunal and to file the respective Claim Statement and Counter Statement with documents, if any, going to be relied upon.

3. The fads in respect of industrial dispute refer- red to adjudication und^r reference are briefly ai follows :
The workman/I Party (herein al'ter referred to as Petitioner) Sri S. Yesurathnam joined the services of the II Party/Management (hereinafter referred to as Respondent) as Messenger on 13-10-80, The Peti- tioner remained absent unauthorised^ on scrveral occasions since 19KI, without obtaining any permi- ssion or sanction fioin the competent authority for 3C23
recall letter. Since the Petitioner did not respond 'o the recall letter, the Respondent had issued a notice dated 15-4-96 in accordance with para XVfl of the Bipartite Settlement dated 10-4-89 advising the Peti- tioner to report for duty within 30 days of the receipt of the notice, (ailing which it would be deemed that he had voluntarily retired from the bank service on his own accord. For the said notice also the Petitioner failed to respond, hence the Respondent/bank was con- strained to issue a voluntary retirement order dated 17-5-96 stating that the Petitioner was deemed to havo retired from the bank service on his own accord with effect from 15-5-96. Aggrieved by the said or- der, the Petitioner bad raised this dispute, after a lapse of four years.
4. It is further contended by the workman in his Claim Statement that, the Petitioner has not received the letter and hence he has failed to respond to that letter. The Respondent's contention that the Petiti- oner has retired from service voluntarily as per the Bipartite Settlement is not correct. The retrenchment of the petitioner is unjust, improper and illegal. There is no provision in the Standing Orders or Rules of the . Respondent to have belief that the Petitioner did not have the intention of joining duty. The Management has failed to hold an enquiry and nobody was examined to substantiate the charges as no prosecution witness was examined. The termination of the Petitioner is in contravention of well settled principles of natural justice. Hence, the order of termination is unjust, improper and illegal. Furthei, all the so call- ed period of absence, the Petitioner was undergoing medical treatment and he has also sent leave letters for those period. Further, the medical certificate have sent for the entire period. He has also sent leave letters for those period and the same is evident from the leave letter register maintained by the security department. Under such circumstances, the Court may be pleased to order the Respondent to reinstate the Petitioner in service with back wages, continuity of service and all other attendant benefits.
the poriod l-J-81 to 21-8-90. The Petitioner was ab- sent for total number of 1013 days and he was on loss of pay on various occasions. During, 1993, he w:is unauthoriscdly absent for total number of 224 and half days. Further, he was unauthori^dly absent for 8 days on two spells in July, 1994 i.e. from 11-7-94 to 15-7-94 and 28-7-94 to 30-7-94. Than again he was unauthorisedly absent for 86 days from 30-8-94 to 23-11-94. Fn the year 1995, he was unauthorisedly absent for five spells i.e. for 5 days from 2-9-95 to 6-1-95, for 84 days from 13-3-95 to 4-6-95, lot 60 days from 19-6-95 to 17-8-95, for 15 days from 28-8-95 to 11-9-95 and for 56 days from 18-9-95 to 12-11 -95 For the unauthorised absence, the Petitioner was charge sheeted f or the first time by a charge sheet dated 9-7-91 for which a punishment of stoppage of annual incre- ment for six months in terms of clause I7.8(c) of the Bipartite Settlement was awarded vide order dated 25-7-91, The Petitioner was charge sheeted for the same misconduct for the second time during 1993 by issuing a charge sheet dated 19-11-93 On the said charge, final order dated 30-8-94 was passed by the Disciplinary Authority imposing punishment of war- ning by taking a lenient view in the matter. Every time when the Petitioner was absented for a long time, he used to produce medical certificate and app- lied for leave on sick grounds. Hence, after issuing a charge sheet dated 19-11-93, the Petitioner was ad- vised to appear before the Medical Board at Govt.. General Hospital, Madras on 21-1-94 along with rele- vant prescriptions, pathological reports etc. for medical examination. However, the Respondent received a reply dated 21-1-94 from the Dean of General Hos- pital stating that the petitioner appeared before the Medical Board on 21-1-94, but he did not bring any records or copy of the medical certificates as such it was not possible for the Board to comment on the na- ture of illness and as to whether the leave was repaired at that time. Thus, the Petitioner had no proof for his continuous illness and to obtain medical certificate as and when leavo was required. The Petitioner cannot absent himself unauthorisedly, despite of being punished twice. Then the Respondent had issued a charge sheet dated 23-2-95 for the third time. Pending the above charge sheet, the petitioner started absenting himself from duties since 13-3-95 to 4-6-95 for 84 days for which the Respondent issued additional charge sheet dated 19-6-95. On the above charge sheets, the Disciplinary Authority imposed punishment of bringing down the bask pay by two stages permane- ntly. Inspite of that punishment, the Petitioner has not improved his attitude of absented himself unautho- risedly from duties for 175 days from 19-6-95 to 7-2-96. The Respondent vide letter dated 15-2-96 advised the Petitioner that his absence from 26-12-95 was treated as unauthorised and he was instructed to report for duty within ten days'from the date of receipt of that
5. It is further contended in the Counter (State- ment of the Respondent that the Petitioner was deemed to havo retired from service of the Respondent under the provisions of Bipartite Settlement dated 10-4-89. As per that settlement when an employee absents him- self from work for a period of 90 or more consecutive days, without submitting any application for leave or for its extension or without any leave tq his credit or beyond the period of leave sanctioned, originally/sub- sequently or when there is a satisfactory evjedenco that he has taken up employment in India or when the management is reasonably satisfied that he has no intention of joining duties, the Management may at any time thereafter, give a notice to the employoe at his last known address calling upon him to report for duty within thirty days of fie date of the notice,3CT4 THE GAZE1TE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2001 / ASAttHA 9, 1923 [PKIIT I P - S E C. 3(ii)] 7. "The pnint for my consideration Is whether the claim of Sri S. Yesurathnam for reinstatement into service of Indian Overseas Bank, Chcnnai is legal and justified'.' If not, what relief is the workman entitled to?"
Point :
slating inter alia the giound for coining to the conclu- sion that the employee liasino intention of joining duties and furnishing necessary avidencc, wh_-rc available. Unless the employee reports for duty within thirty days of the notice of gives an explanation for his absence within the said period of th;rty days satisfying the Management that he has not taken up another employ- ment and that he has no intention of not joining the duties, the employee will be deemed to have volun- tarily retired from the Bank's service on the expiry of the said notice. In the event of the employee sub- mitting a satisfactory reply, he shall be pcimittod to report for duty thereafter, within 30 days from the date of expiry of tho aforesaid notice without prejudieo to the bank's tight to take any action under law or rules of service. As the Petitioner was a chronic absentee and had absented himself from duties fora pcTiod of moie than 90 days i.e. 175 days fiom 19-6*95 to 7-2-96, without sanction or without submitting leave, he was deemed to have retired \id= order dated 17-5-96, which was. issued by the Respondent in ac- cordance with tho provisions of Bipartite Settlement The Petitioner by his own conduct had invited such ,an action as prescribed under the Bipaititc Settle- ment and taken by tho Management. As the Res- pondent was not satisfied with the reasons adduced, for availing leave, his absence was -Ueated to be un- authorised. The Petitioner's case falls under para XVII of the Bipartite Settlement dated 10r4-89 under which he was treated to be voluntarily retired fi'om service The Respondent noed not conduct• any enquiry for passing the said order as per pava XVII of the Bipartite Settlement. If the Tribunal feels that the enquiry should be conducted before dispens- ing with the services of tho Petitioner the Respondent should be given an opportunity to establish the charges before the Tribunal. Hanco, this Hon'ble Tribunal may be pleased to dismiss this caao with cost.
The learned counsel for the Petitioner had put forth an argument that termination of the petitioner from service amounts to retrenchment, which is in contravention ol" Section 25G/25N of the Industrial Disputes Act and it is in contravention of Standing Orders and against the principles of natural justice. The Petitioner was issued with a charge sheet by the Respondent and the punishment hns been imposed on him stating that his basic pay was brought down by two stages in the piesent scale of pay permanently, under Clause 16 of the Bipartite Settlement dated 14-12-66 and when the Petitioner wanted to resume duty and reported for duty, he was surprised to see that his name had been struck down in the attendance register and no letter was sent to him regarding his termination of service. Thereafter, the Petitioner sent a notice thcouyh his counsel on 5-3-99 and called upon the Respondent to take him bacl. to duty within ten days and the Respondent had failed and neglected to send any reply to the Petitioner's notice through his counsel. A worker may be termi- nated, if he avails unauthorised leave continuously for more than 90 days. As far as the Petitoner is concerned, the above provision is not applicable at all because he has not availed leave for more than 90 days continuously. Tha bank has taken it as a case of voluntary retirement stating that the Petitioner is deemed to have retired from service on and from 15-5-96. There is no such deeming provision in the Settlement. Hcnco, the retrenchment of the Peti- tioner is unjust, improper and illegal. The Manage- ment has failed to hold an enquiry aud this, is totally in violation of principles of natural justice. Nd- body was examined to substantiate the charges, hence the termination of the Petitioner is in contra- vention of the principles' of natural justice.
8. The learned counsel for the Respondent would argue that the Petitoiner/Workman wns in the habit of unauthorisedly absent for duty ever since 1989 and the period of his abasence unantho- risedty is given in detail in para 1 of the Counter Statement of 'the Respondent is not disputed. The Respondent hat. sent a notice dated 15-4-1996 under original of Ex. M22, advising the Petitioner Sri S. YesuratbuanT to report for duty within 30 days of receipt of that letter, failing which it shall be deemed that the Petitioner has voluntarily retired from bank service on his own accord. It was in accordance with the Bipartite Settlement dated 10-4-89. Earlier, the Respondent/Managomunt had sent a letter by 6. It is further contendad by the Petitioner in his reply statement thai the Management has unila- terally come to a conclusion that it js a case of un- authorised absence. The Petitioner has given leave letters and medical certificates to the Respondent and to call it as unauthorised absence is not correct. The Bipartite Settlement dated 10-4-8? cannot be relied and acted upon, since the same is in contra- vention of law and well settled principles of natural justice. The settlement supposed to have been entered with the bank employees cannot go against the welt settled principles of natural justice. Para 17 of the Bipartite Settlement cannot be relied and acted *upon. Since no enquiry has been conducted, the Petitioner cannot be terminated from service. Till an enquity is conducted to prove the unauthorised absence, the Petitioner will continue to be in service and cannot be terminated from service without hold- ing an enqu'ry.
3DC5
Hence, the action taken by the Management under Ex. M24 as per the enabling proviso under the' Bi- paitite Settlement and has concluded that the Peti- tioner is deemed to have voluntarily retired from bank service with effect from 15-5-96 is valid, correct and justifiable.
9- The learned counsel for the Petitioner lift, re- lied upon the decision of the Supreme Court repor- ted as 2001 J LLM 758 between PUNJAB AND.SIND BANK AND OTHERS and SAKATTAR SINGH. Tn that ca.e, the Supreme Court has held that un- authorised absence from duty for 90 or more consecu- tive days beyond sanctioned leave. Bipartite Settle- ment between the bapk and employees-based on Sasiri Award, providing that under such circumstances thp bank should give notice calling upon th" employee to report for duty and if within 30 days the employee does not report for duty or offered satisfactory ex- planation, he should ha\e deemed to be voluntarily retired and it ns not a punishment for misconduct but is only recognition of realities of situation and does not result in violation of principles of natural justice. In that cited case, eailier, the High Court has quashed the termination order passed by the Punjab & Sind Bank against that concerned workman and the Supreme Cou't in the cited case held that in view of the Bipar- tite Settlement and the action of the Respondent not reporting for duty within the prescribed time nor oflurcfd satisfactory explanation, the High Court erred in quashing the termination and further held that ter- mination having b^en validly effected, and the High Court's order is setaside. Relying upon- this judge- ment, the learned counsel for the Respondent sub- mitted that three notices sent to the last known address of the Petitioner heroin by registered post, Vc has not responded to the same, but he had evaded receipt of that notice only to take a stand that he has not been given an opportunity as per the Bipartite Settlement to report for duly from the Respondent/Management. Hence, tl.c action taken by the Management against the Petitioner/Workman is valid and justified. Hence, this industrial dispute is got to be dismissed.
10. The Petitioner, who has examined himself as Workman witness No. 1, had deposed before this Tribunal that when he was in service his heiath was affected and as and when he was unable to attend duty, he used to give leave applicaiion on the ground of ill health and used to submit medic?l certifkate in support of the same. He would further say that as and when he applied for leave, the Personnel & Administra- tive Department used 10 pass an ordtr for the leave application and one such order was passed on 6-3-95 and a xorox copy of one such order is Ex. Wl. \t is seen from the Ex. W! that >t is ;i communication daied 6-3-95 of the Chief Officer of ihc Perscnnal & Registered Post dated 15-2-96 to tho residential address of the petitioner informing him that he is absenting from duty since 26-12-1995 without any intimation to the Respondent and his absence fjom 26-12-95 is treated a:, unauthorised and'he was directed to report duty within ten days Prom the date of re- ceipt of the letter, failing which suitable action will be taken against him. Since the Petitioner has not responded to those letters, the Management has choben to '-ond a final lettor dated 17-5-96 undur original of Ex. M24 to tho Petitioner to his last known residential address, informing him that inspitc of the Respondent's advice to the petitioner under letter dated 15-4-96 to report for duty within 30 days, the Respondent hud not received any communica- tion from the Petitioner or the petitioner rejoining the duty or he had not reported for duty within the stipulated period and henw, it is apparent that the Petitioner have no intention of rejoining duty and continuing in the services of the bank. Undei such circumstances, as he was advised earlier, it is deemed that he had voluntarily retired from bank service on his own accord with effect from 15-5-1996. All these letter1; sent by Registered Post with acknow- ledgement due to the given address 'No. 17, Nagn- thamman Koil Street, Ganapathypuram, Tambaram, Madras-59, were returned unnerved us 'the Petitioner is not found and left' and those Registered covers with acknowledgements are Ex. M21, M23 and M25. In the Counter Statement para-6, the Respondent has clearly stated the provision df Bipartite Settle- ment dated 10*4-89 about the employees' absence for work for a period of 90 days or more than con- secutive days and the absence can be taken by the management for the misconduct of the employee. This provision of the Bipartite Settlement has not been disputed by the Petitiorer as no such Bipartite Settlement on the other hand, it is represented on behalf of the Petitioner that the Bipartite Agreement cannot be over ride the Statutory Rules regarding the retrenchment and non-employment But it is the contention that the action ol the Management that Petitioner bad retired from service as par the Bipartite Settlement is not correct and it amounts to retrenchment and it is unjust, improper and. illegal. The learned counsel for the Respondent would further aigue that notices were sent to the Petitioner to the correct addiess and having known tha pwport of the notice sent by the Management, the Petitioner has evaded receiving those notices sent by Regis- tered Post on three occasions by the Respondent/ Management. Further the past record of the Peti- tioner is bad and he was unauthoiisedly absent for so many occasions. Apart fromt sending notices under original of Ex. M22, the Respondent/Manage- ment has put up the said copy of the notices in the bank notice board to display for thu period or at- least one mouth, as it is seen from E*. M"22 itself.

11. In a case rtported as 2000 (2) LLN 942 bet- ween the Syndicate Bank and General Secretary, Syndicate Bank Staff Association & Another, the Supreme Court was pleased to hold that when an employee remaining irregular and frequently absen- ting himself from duty, a show cause notice issued to him returned with postal remarks 'refused', the bank invoking clause (16) of Bipartite Settlement treating the employee to have abandoned his service and sending the order by Registered Post and the same returned by the postal authorises with the endorse- ment 'not found during delivery time'. The ques- tion is whether the Bank was justified in treating the employee to have voluntarily abandoned his service invoking the clause 16 of Bipartite Settlement. Held, from the postal remarks on the notice and order when returned undelivered raised a clear presumption in favour of the bank and the bank is well within iIs right to invoke provisions of Bipartite Settlement and treating the employee to have voluntarily retired from service and that there was n0 need for the bank to hold any inquiry before passing the order treating him to have abandoned his services. This decision of the Supreme Court is squarely applicable to the facts of this case. So. from all these things, it is evidently clear that the petitioner remained absent unauthor'sedly for a continuous period of more than 90 days and hence the Management took action against him as per the provisions of Bipartite Settle- ment dated 10-4-89 and the Petitioner had chosenjne-f to report for duty even after sufficient opportunity was given to him by the Bank/Management by infor- ming him to recall to duty. So the ultimate action taken by the Management against the Petitioner vide order under Ex. M24 in treating the Petitioner is deemed to have voluntarily retired from service with effect from 15-5-96 is lawful and justified one. Hence, the demand of the concerned workman Shri S. Yesurathnam for reinstatement in the services of the Indian Overseas Bank, Chfinpai is not legal and justified and he is not entitled to any relief. Thus, ] answer the point accordingly.

By reference No. L 12012/16I/99-IR (fl.U) dt, 11-11-1999, the Central Government in the Ministry of Labour, in exercise of power conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) of section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) made over this industrial dispute between Manmohan S/o Sh. Gokul Prasad, Allahabad and Regional Manager, Allhabad Bank, Regional Office, Mirzapur for adjudication.
The reference is re-produced as under :
"Whether the action df the Management of Allahabad Bank in terminating ihe services of Sh. Manmohan, ii justified or not ? if not, what relief the workman is entitled for ? "
2. Manmohan , the workman in his claim state- ment asserts, to have been appointed as casual worker in the office ol Branch Manager, Allahabad Bank, Village Pathraur, Distt. Mirzapur on 1-1-1995. Initially, he was paid remuneration^' Rs. 200 p. m. which, later, was enhanced to Rs. 400 p. ni. He was entrusted jobs done by class IV employees and was" assigned duties like stitching and making entries of the vouchers in registers. Occasionally, he was sent to other branches of the bank to collect papers and also to purchase stationeries etc. He worked continuously from 1-1-95 to 28-3-98 with satisfaction of his superiors. However, his services wore terminated abruptly w.e.f. 19-3-98. He worked for more than 240 days in each calendar year. His termination was in breach of section 25 F of thu I. D. Act, 1947 as the mana- gement did not issue notice to him or paid com- pensation etc.
3. The management did not admit factums relating to the appointmet of the workman as casual labour or his having worked like peon in the bank. However, it is admitted that Manmohan was enga- ged as part-time sweeper on consolidated monthly pay. Initially he was paid Rs. 200 p. m. which was later revised to Rs. 400 p. m. The management has also denied that he continuously woikcd in ihe bank. The case of the management is that Manmohan abandoned the work and left Pathraur in hostile and surcharged atmosphere duo to his illicit relation with a local woman. His intimacy with a local woman estranged his relation with local habitants and the^e was risk to his lilt. He left the village on his own and did not report to duty. On his abandonment, casual appointments wero made as pot nejd. It is denied that the management terminated his sevices. He was a part time casual staff as Safaiwala #nd could leave the job at his convenience There was no need to issue any notice or serve termination order on him, especially, when he quit the job on his own. On his placii other persons were engaged on casual basis. ."Provisions of section 25 F are not applicable in this case-
4. In support of their respective pleas, the par- ties tiled documents as well examined witness on alidiivit. They were permitted to cross examine rival witness. Coming to the fact, Ex Ml is the application of workman seeking appointment which indicates that the had applied for the post of part time Safaiwala and was appointed so, w. e. f. 1-1-1995. This letter is not denied by the workman. The management has also admitted that on occa- sions, Manmohan was deputed for bringing some stationaries etc. from Mirzapur and other places on his request. He used to go to his village and the market falling in the way, he volunteered lo take works without expecting aiy TA and DA.
5. The management, specifically, has p't-aded intimate relations of the workmen with a local woman. This fact was not denied in affidavit filed by the work- man as his oral evidence. Management filed affida- vit of Raja Ram Singh resident of village PatJir a who deposed that Manmohan had developed illicit relations with one local woman, and this caused resentment in the village. Fearing for life, the work- man abandoned the village and did not report to duties.
6. As regards status of the workman, there is little controversy. The workman had, admittedly sought his appointment as 'part-time Safaiwala' and ths management lias also admitted this facts. The payment receipts corroborate that Munmohan was appointed as part time sweeper and worked for a petty long time. It is not denied that on one or two occasions he was given some duties to pur- chase stationarics etc. on his own requests, as the market was situated in way to his village. He was not paid TA/DA etc. The workman could not enjoy double status, one as a part time saFaivvala duly appointed and paid by the bank and the other as casual labour to do work of sub-staff. According to the management, the job of safaiwala was casual and part time. It was workman who ubmdoned on his own. The management has pleaded that while staying at village Pathrnur dear the "bunk premises, he became cloje to a local woman and his illicit relation with her had created bad blood. He aban- doned to same his life and left his duties abruptly.
7. Despite specific pleadings in written state- ment about his relation with a local woman, no specific denial was made in the rejoinder even a word is not said in ihe oral statement filed in shape of affidavit . It is not a case , in which the manage- ment raised plea at belated stage but from the very begining il had tnken a very specific plea of nban- doning job by Ihe workman. In absence of denial
- %* the management's plea can not bo rejected. The management has also examined Raja Ram Singh of Village Pathraur who deposed the said fact. iHc was cross examined by the workman but nothing came out in the cross examination to warrant imfcr- ence of untruth. Likewise, management examined Dhani Lai Manager of the Pathraur branch who explained facts and circumstances and the back ground under which workman left his job and did not return.
8. On analysis of evidence on rocor
9. Accordingly, the workman is not entitled to any relief.

1. The Central Government by exercising the powers conferred by Clause (d) of sub-section (\) and sub-section 2A of the Section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 has rcfarrcd this dispute vide order No. L-12011/56/82-D, IIA dated 25th July, 1990 for adjudication on the following schedule.
SCHEDULE
"Whether the demand of the Syndicate Bank Staff union Madras that "Personal Drivers' engaged by the officers of the Bank, for drivirtg Bank's vehicles should be treated as Bank Employees with all bene- fits, rights, privileges etc. available to regular Bank Employees is justified ? If so, to what relief they aie entitled?"
2. The first party filed Claim Statement. The case of the first party in brief is as follows.
3. The first party is a union of Syndicate Bank Staff. The first party workmen arc working since 7 to 8 years as drivers. The service conditions of the employees are governed by statutory law enacted by the legislature and are also governed by the awards made by the National Tribunal and also various settlements which have been arrived at from time to time inclusive of' Bipartite Settlement. They are employed by tho 2nd Party Bank through the inter- mediaries i.e. the executives. These executives include those officers who are entitled to get the car facility. There are about 100 officers in Scale IV and about 18 Officers in Scale V and about 10 officers in Scale VI apart from six top executives of the Bank. The maintenance of the car is met with by the second party Bank. The second party bank has used most uniaip and subtle devise by authorising the executives who are entitled to use the cars to appoint drivers of their choice. Accordingly, all these drivers who are parties in the above dispute have become Drivers of the 2nd party Bank through the intermediaries i.e. executives. All those executives ave autliosifiodt to appoint Drivers. Other, details arc given jn tho Claim statement.. The bank has employed these Drivers by authorising the executives to employ/to do a particular job and carryirig on their fcdility and effi- ciency for a cash consideration. The first party workmen for various reasons has prayed to pass award in favour of first party union,
4. Tine second party appeared and: filed counter contending that there is no merit in this reference.
5. The case of the second party in brief is as under. In the Counter facts of the case and legal contentions are narrated. The main contention of tlje second party is that the first party workmen arc not the employees of. the Bank. The dispute raised by the first party workmen is not maintainable as per the definition- oi Section 2(k) of the I.D. Act, The demand made by the uninn for treating the personal drivers engaged by the officers of the Bank as employees of tho Bank cannot be a subject matter of Industrial Dispute. Tho first party union has not locus-standi to espouse the cause of the personal drivers of the officers of the Bank. Details of para- wisc replies are given in tho counter. It is said that the executives may or may not prefer to engage drivers. They have to decide wbom to engaged and on what terms. Bank would reimubrse Driver's salary upto a certain amount decided from time to time and nothing else. Drivers are not the emplo- yees of the Bank, Whenever the exoucutive does not use the Car. the perosnal driver is idle. There is absolutely no truth and substance in the contentions of the first party that the Bank controls the selection of personal Drivers of the Executives of that the Bank.
Supervise" and controls their work and conduct 6. The Second party has contended in para 23.5 of the counter that certain aspects are relevant to know whether there is master and servant relation- ship, exist and accordingly the second party there must be master's power of selection of a servant, the payment of wages or ether remuneration, the master's right to control the method of doing the work and the master's right of suspension or dismissal. The second party has submitted that the above are the test and according to their stand the first party work- men are not the employees of the bank. The second party for these reasons has prayed to reject the re- ference
7. It is seen frorn the records that on-behalf of the first party one Shri K. Srinivasa Babu is examined. Against this on behalf of the management one witness Shri K, S. Kajnath, Assistant General Manager is examined. Documents are marked. I have heard' tho arguments of learned counsel for the management. It is seen from the records that the first piirty and counsel remained absent and i n view of the fact the matter is very old. The* case was posted for argurneots.. Even, for arguments the first party and counsel remained absent. Ts have read the evidence carefully and pursued all'the documents and heard teamed counsel for the second party.
8. According to the evidence of WWl there are about 150 personel drivers and they r.re the members of the union and the above drivers are driving the officials cars of the officers who have been appointed by the officers personally. Those drivers are- the members of the union. They arc driving cars of the3033 bank allotted to the officers concern and union is taking the cause of the above said drivers. Those drivers are doing the regular work of the bark. WW 1 is the secretary of the union. One of the contentions by the second purty is that the diivcrs are not employees of the bank and there is no ' evidence that they are the members of the union and they cannot be members of the union, WW 1 says in his cross examination that he has not filed the written representation given by the concerned personal diiv^rs. Absolutely there is no documentary evidence to show that the drivers are the members of ilie union. Drivers are not the employees of the bank. The contention of the first parly union that they ;:ro the members of the union cannot be believed at all. The union has not produced any documents to say that the workmen arc the employees of the bank. We are having the evidence of Assistant General Manager who has categorically said that the service conditions of the officers arc governed by the Syndicate Bank Officers Seivice regulations' and the regulation No. 26 provides permission for the iTre of bank car for personal use of the officers :ind ihe executive can drive the car personally or he h:>s to engage his personal driver and the officer has to pay salary personally and not the bank and the bank reim- burses some extent the amount of the officer. He has categorically stated m his evidence that the drivers are not the emp1oyees of the bank and they are not the members of the union. They do not have any b mk work. Their nonus are not in the muster roll. Ho has furl her state that they are only personal drivers and there is no relationship of employee and employer between the drivers and the bank. He has also stated that there are other regular drivers who are appointed by the bank as pro the recruitment rules. He is not cross txamined by the 1st parly.

Tine reference is rejected.

9. Tn the instant case the first party union has not filed any document to believe that the workmen are the employees of the bank. The learned counsel for the second party relied AIR 1978 Si preme Court 481. I have read the above decision carefully. According to iht said decision personal driver of Ian area manager of a Nationalised Bank is not a person employed by the bank. Keeping in mind the principles held in the above decision T am of the opinion that the union has absolutely failed to establish the relationship of employee and employer bjtween the workmen and the managt-ment.
10. I have considered the entire material before me very carefully and 1 am of the opinion that there is no merit in '.his reference and accordingly I proceed io pa"s the following order.

This is an Industrial Dispute referred to by Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour vide Order No. L-42011 / 44/2000/TR (DU) dt. 28-9-2000 under Section 10 or the I.D. Act to adjudicate the dispute arising between the management of Regional Medical Research Centre, Dibrugarh, Assam and their workman represented by General Secy., RMRC Employees Association, Dibrugarh on the following issue :
"Whether the demand of Association of 1CMR, Dibrugarh to continue the opportunity for promotion to their staff at par with the other centre of ICMR at different places on the post of Technical Officers is correct or not ? Tf so, what relief should be provided to them ?"
The fact of the case is that mamgemjiit has made arrangement for filling up the post of Technical Officer by a person having Engineering Degree by issuing advertisement to thai effect when such vacancy arose following resignation of incumbent helding the post on 13-3-98.
The workman, on the other hand, has contended that as per service rule framed by the management, the post of Technical Officer may be filled up from the technical staff having technical background and experience, It is also contended that in other insti- tution of India of similar nature, such post is filled up by person having technical background and expciience. As their association lias employee having such qualification and experience qualifying himself for promotion to said post, the management should have filled up the vacancy by promotion instead of direct recruitment from an engineer which rmy seal the promotional avenue of their members.
After hearing both the parties, 1 have carefully perused the written statement filed by both the parties and also documents filed therein. The workman has submitted zerox copy of Recruitment Rule for lechuical post under T.C.M.R where there is provision for filling up the pos( of tech-v;il offv-r by promotion fr"m the technic.il staff. The representative of the management has not denied the existence of such rule in their establishment, but has, contended that the existence of such rule has come to their know- ledge after issue of advertiicmcnl for drect recruit- ment to the post from an engineer. As the rule framed by .Vr ma 1.13. I I -H m> II.MV iid for filling up the said post by nerson from technical staff, mere issue of advertisement docs not debar the manage- ment from considering the workman's case nor it make the rule non-e-tiste.ice.
Tn view of the aforesaid position of materials on record I am of opinion that the workman has a prima facie case to be coii!>id.:red by the manage- ment. Accordingly management is directed to stop direct recruitment to the pOit of Technical Officer from an engineer without considering the case of the30*5 lM GAZETTE OF tNDIA : JUNE 30, 200*/ASABHA 0, 1923 [PART H~&BC. Xiffl workman. The management is further directed to consider the case of the workman and if suitable candidate from the technical staff is found for pro- motion to the post of Technical Officer as per the rule framed as mentioned above, management should promote such person to said post instead of recruit directly.
Reference is answered in the light of above direc- tion. Prepare an award accordingly.

Pa ^ed on this 18th
1. The Government o? Tndin, Ministry of Labour vide order No L-40012/167/94-IR (DU) dated 28-12-95 hat, referred the following dispute for adjudication by this tribunal :— •
"Whether the action oC the General Manager, Telecom Distt, Jabaipur in not Ireatinjr the workman Stm Todar Singh as temporary workman and terminating his services w. e. f. 15-7-90 is legal and justified? Tf fot, what relief the work- man is entitled to? "
2. The case for HIP workman is that he was appointed as casual labour by \hr management on 1-6-86 in the office of SDO (T) JVIandla. He conti- nuously worked in the employment of Telecommuni- cation Department w.e.f. 1-6 86 to 8-7-90. His total working day-, during the employment, were 1414. His services we'e terminated by tre management vide notice dated 30-12-89. Tn this way he continuou- sly worked for'more than °40 days in a calendar ye'ir Prior lo the da'c of his termination Horn service. He was not given any lclrenchmcnt compensation under the provisions cf Sec-25-F of the I. D. Act, 1947. The telecornmunicat'on department has regu- larised the services of other employees who were appointed in the year 1986 as well as in the year 1987. Fresh workman were also given emp'oyment by the management and the workman was excluded from the list illegally. His termir.irion is illegal and therefore he is entitled to regularisetion with all con- sequential benefits.
3. The case for the management is that the wcrk- man was given casual employment in respect to the temporary work and project for a definite period. The workman produced a certificate issued in his favour by the DET (coaxial cable project, Jabalpur) and on this basis he was given casual employment for ihe temporary project ft Mardla. As per the ins- tractions of CGMT Bhopal issued in the month of Jan-90, the casual workers who were employed w. c. f. March 85 were discontinued. At the same time, the services of workman were no longer re- quired by the Department and therefore he was dis- continued by the management.
4. The management further alleges that the service- particulars, furni^ficd by he workman, were investigated and it VAIS found that he had produced a false certificate alleged to 1u\r been issued by the DF.T coaxial cable project Jabalpur in order to secure employment, Dr.e to Mi's1 fact, the workman was not l^und fit to be retained in the emp'oyment. The workman had ne'er contjm.ously worked for 240 days in a calendar yeai as claimed. b> him. He3040 THF, GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2001/ ASADHA 9, 1923 [PART 11^-SEC. 3(ii)] doesnol fulfil Hie required condition for the grant of temporary status in the Department. The workman was given the employment of casual labour for particular period. In view of this fact, he cannot claim any right to the post. He is not entitled to regularisation and monetary benefits as alleged by him.
5. The following issues arise for dcesinn in this case :
1. Whether the workman is entitled to re^u- larKntion and monetary benefits.
2. Relief and costs?
6. Issue No. 1:
The workman has flhd the certificate of working dnvs Exhibit A-l issued by tho SDOfT), Mflndla on 23-11-91. This certificate goes to show that the work- man had continuously worked for 240 days in the year 1988-R** and 89-90. He was given casual employ- ment by ihe management in the month of iLrc-86 and he continued to work from 1-6-86 to 8-7-90. This position has not been denied by the managements at all. The Supreme Court has finally settVd the con- travorsy by the pronouncement in Jacriti Mazdoor Union and others versus Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. and another reporied in JT 1989 (SC) 364, The relevant observations of the supreme Court are reproduced at under :—
"Temporaly status would be available to tho casual labourers in the Postal De^tt on completion of OTIC year of continuous service with at loast 240 days of work (206 days in the case of officers observing five days week and on confer- ment of temporary status, house rent Allowance and City Compensatory Allowance shall be ad- missible. There would be no justification to withhold Maternity Leave as that is an obligation of the employee furfilling the Directive Principles of S+atcpolicy envisaged in Part IV of the consti- tution should provide the same. After rendering throe years of continuous service with temporary status, the casual labourers shall be trusted at par with temporary Grade D employees of the Department of posts and would thereby be en- titled to such benefits as are admissible to group- D employees on regular basis."
7. Relying on the judgement of the Supreme Couit, the Central Administrative Tribunal, Jabalpur has held in OA No 252 oi 1995-
8. In the light of above said judgements of the Mipieme Court and CAT, it is fully established that the workman h,id continuously worked as casual worker tor more than 240 days prior to 1989. In this way he has attained the temporaly status in the Telecommunication Department. The management h:is not been able to prove thut for securing the emp- loyment, he had given a false certificte alleged to have been issued by the DEfT) coaxial cable project, Jabal- pin Taking all those facts into consideration it is lully established that tho workman has attained the required temporary stalus by virtue of working as i_asinl woiker in the Department. He is therefore entitled to regularisation in the light of the judge- mint of Supreme Couit pissed in Jagriti Mazdoor Union case
9. On tho principle of no work no p.iy, the work- man sivill not be entitled to get back wages as claimed by him. The absence vYom duty shall DC treated as continuous service only for the purposes of pensien- er> benefits. Issue No. 1 is decided accordingly.
10. Issue No 2 : On the reasons stated above, it is held that the workman has acquired temporary status while woiking as casual worker in the employ- ment of flic management. He should be reinstated and regularised as temporaly worker in the Depart- ment. The workman shall not be entitled to any back wages a> claimed by him. Isuse No. 2 is decided accordingly.
11. Copy of the awaid bo sent to the Ministry of Labour as per rules.

1. Central Government, Ministry of Labour, viJe its Notification No. L-4IO12/29/99-TR(B-l) dated 18-6-99 has referred the following dispute for adjudication to this tribunal—
"Whether the action of the Divisional Railway Manager, Noithern Railway, Allahabad in discharging the services of Shri Indresh Kumar son of Shri Sunehari Lai w.e.t, 12-2-86 is Jesal and justified 7 It not, lo what leilei the workman is cmitlcd 7" 2. ri lie eoiiceined workman has filed statement of claim vtitji allegations tnat he was appointed under Sr. Section Lngmeer (Carnage and Wagon,) jNorthern Railway, lujidia. J^iiuzaLuU, H.i idiaiwuia trum I-12-82 to J1-2-86. lie conti- nuously worked during that period. In order tt> clique Jum as icfiular employee, he was sent to Divisional Medical Officer, iNoi Ultra Railway, lundlu, tor medical examination in B-l luleifory. Befoic being engaged under opposite paity No. 2, he had worked tor 122 days as sataiwala/cjsual worlvei tiom 24 i-82 to 15-10-92 under Chief Health Inspector, Northern Railway, Tundla. In the year 1984 all casual woik-rs were screened and the concerned workman was selected in the sci Lining lest and his name was placed on the penal. The Divisional Medical Officer, Tundla, medically examined the concerned workman under B-I category and found him midiciilry unfit (colour blind) tor the post ot Saiaiwala in Carnage and Wagon Department. The workman came to Know ubout this on 23-3-86 thai his services were terminated vv.e.I, J1-2-86 on the basis of medical examination where he was found unfit. It has been alleged that the concerned v oik man had worked more than 120 days as casual woiker under railway administration, hence he was entitled to fcm- poi.iiy staid:, under railway administration. As he was not found fit on the basis ot medical examination under B-l category, it was the dulv of the- management ihe northern lailway to provide him alternative job in the lower medical category of C-l and C-II aftei getting him medically examined in that category. The concerned workman sent an application on 29-3-86 through the opposite party No. 2 to opposite party No. 1 for giving alternative job in C-l and C-II category, but no utleiuiun v-as paid by the railway administration. As the concerned workman had completed more than 240 days before the date of retrenchment i.e. before 11-2-86, he was entitled to get piotection of the pro- visions of section 25F of the Act. As no notice, notice pay and letienehment compensation was puid to the concerned workman at the time of his retrenchment/termination from service as such his termination from service is illegal. He slated that the concerned workman had made prayer that he may tie accommodated under commercial, medical depart- ment and on other similar posts under Other sections and departments of the railway of a lower medical cateaory C-I and C-II but nothing was done by the management, of the lailw&y. Jl has been alleged that the post of safaiwala, peon, office khakisi, mali etc., under other sections and departments of northern railway wete of lower medical category i.e. C-I and C-JI wheic the workman could have been accommodated but (his has not been done by the management. Tt has bctn alleged that as the workman has been illegally retrenched from the service he may be taken back in the service cf railway and full pay and back wages may be granted to him againM the management of the noithern railway.
3. The management of northern railway has filed vuittrn statement in which they have not disputed the fact that th<" concerned workman was employed as casual worker from 1982 to 11-2-82 on the post of safaiwala. It has also hecn nol disputed that when he was sent for medical evimination under B-1 category he was found unfit for that post by Divisional Medical Officer. Northern Railway, Tundla. It has been alleged that as the concerned workman was found m"di- cally unfit for the pont of sufaiwala in C &W Department of the opposite, party, his services were terminated accordingly, ft has been alleced that the concerned workman is not entitled to get any relief in this case.
4. The workman has filed rejoindet in which he hns is- iteraKd the allepat:ons made in the statement of claim. He hns 1'rflher slated that as the concerned employee hud got lempmary status being in continuous service under railway lid ministration for more than 120' days he was entitled to be absorbed on some alternative post in lower medical catepotv i.e C-l oi C-II lie has prayed that the concerned workman Miould he medically examined for the post in C-I and C-II category under railway administration and railway nnimnis- tiation should bo directed to give him an alternative iob on such post.
5. The concerned workman hns examined himself us W W. 1 and filed 14 documents mraked Ext. \V1 to W14. The rannaccment has examined Mahesh Prakasb, Office3047 Superintendent, II, in the office of Sr. Section finjrn.;ei, (C&W) Department, Northern Railway, Tundla, as M.W.I. _ 6. I have heard the authorised representative for both the sides and have gone through the record of the case. The autnoiibcd lepresejitative for the workman has nr.cnsd that when the concerned workman had served the railway ad- ministration as safaiwala continuously from 2-12-82 to 11-2-86 i.e. for about four years, he was entitled to get status of temporary railway employee and also for the protection of the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act, at the time of dis- pensation of his service. He has drawn my attention towards a circular of Railway Board indicating that if a casual worker completes 120 days continuous service he shall be entitled to get temporary status of a temporary employee. There is no dispute about the fact that he worked under lailway administration from 2-12-82 to 11-2-86. The certificate dated 8*2-89 issued by Office Superintendent of Carriage and Wagon Department, Northern Railway, Tundla, is Ext. W. 3 on the record This shows that the concerned workman was a casual workerAifaiwala fiom 2-12-82 to 11-2-86. This also shows that the concerned workman worked for more than 120 days continuously under the railway administration and in view of the circular issued by the Railway Board he got temporary status and was entitled to get all the benefits attached to a temporary railway employee. Thus he came within the definition of a workman as defined under section 2(s) of the Act. As he had worked contiauously for more than three years he was also entitled to get protection of the provisions of secion 25F of the Act. The record shows that no notice, notice pay or retrenchment compensation was paid to him on the date of termination of the service of the concerned workman en 11-2-86, therefore, his retrenchment from the service of the railway was in violation of section 25F of the Act and was, therefore, illegal.
7. It is admitted to the ''oncemed workman as well as to the management that in Carriage and Wagon Section North- ern Railway Tundla, Safaiwala must pass the vision test of class B-l. It is also admitted case of the parties that the concerned workman was sent in Divisional Medical Officer Tundla for medical examination and he failed in Class B-l test because he w:is found unfit for the post on which he was employed and consca'iPnrly he was discharged from the service. Although the discharge of the concerned work- man from the service of *he Railway being in violation of Section 25F of the Act, ha" been held to be illegal by this Tribunal in the above par israph. no relief of reinstatement on that post could be gran*"d to him because he was medi- cally unfit for that po"t.
8. The authoris?d representative for ihe workman has argued that if a temporary 'ail'vav emplovee is found medi- cally unfit for the post w'lich he is holding there is provi- sion and direction of ihe Railway Board that he should be absorbed on other similar posts which belong to lower medi- cal category. He has drawn my attention towards paraaraph 1305 of Indian Railwav Fs!:;b!khrnent Manual Vol. I ("Revised Edition 1989) w'rrh provides as under: —
1305. Alternative employment must be found in the case of permanent ".;nd temnomrv railway servant.
Medically de-categorised staff may. as far as possible. be absorbed in mch alternative posts which should broadly be in allied categories and whore their background and ;vnerience in en'Her posts could be utilised. There should be no dificulty in providing such al*prirtiv<" employment and no reversion of anv officiating >-aiI'V;>y servant for the purpo^p of absorbing the d i ^ ' ed railway servant should be necessary. For th's purpose attempts should be made t^ absorb '!"• H'ssiM^d roilwiv sprvanf not nn'v wJfiin fV- Di^rirt/Division or Department but in other nitric!/Division or Department. The aforev^d paragraph 1305 of the Indian Railway Establishment Manual dearly provides that if an employee of the railway is not found medically fit for the r"st which he is holding, he should be nVrrb"d in such alternative post which "hould broadly be in allied category. It is also provided that Ihere mav hf no difficulty in providing such employment. Tt is also provided in that paragraph that for this purpose attempts should be m^.d" tt absorb such railway seivant not only within th? District. DiviVon or Department but ;r other District/Division or Department The record shows that alter the concerned v/orkman was found medically unfit in B-l cate- gjry iit moved an application 29-3-86 to D.R.M., Northern Railway, Allahabad, foi giving him an alternative job of C-l 'md C-II class after getting him medically examined kr the same. That application is Ext. W-2 which was foiward- ed by oilier r concerned of luikila to the Divisional Railway Manager, Northern Railway, Allahabad. It appears that no action was taken by ihe Railway Administration on his rep- resentation and the concerned workman continued out of jab i'lthough he was entitled to be considered for alternative job of the lower medical category.
9. It has come in evidence that there was not any post of Clasb IV employee iii Cairitige and Wagon Department of Northern Railway ai Tundia, hence the Officer-in-charge of that Department discharged him from the service. But the officer concerned also recommended his case to Division- al Railway Managei, Noithern Railway, Allahabad for absorption on similar post of lower medical category of C-? .and C-Il. In these circumstances the concerned work- man should have been absorbed in other departments of Northern Railway Allahabad belonging to medical category C-I and C-II. The authorised representative for the con- cerned workman has also diawn my attention to Annexuie- III of paragraph 1016 and 1018 given at page 25 on wards of the Indian Railway Establishment Manual 2nd Edition. I have gone through the relevant provisions relating to the description of the vision wst and I find that post of peon, Zamadar, office peon, office khalirii, sweeper, store khalasi. sweeper, store chowkidar, waterman, rnalis, bhisiies, in all supervisory and non supervisory offices belong to class 'C-I' categoiy. Similarly the post of Station peons, sweeper, zamadars, bhisties, waterman, Ci'riaRe sweeper, farrash under administrative and commercial department; belonc to class C-T category and the concerned workman could be accom- modated on these posts if no post for him of category C-I and C-II were available in Carriage and Wagon Department of Northern Railwav, Tundln. The concerned workman hai been found colour blind "vhich •was ihe disqualification of an employee in class A-1, A-2, A-3 and B-lj but this disquali- fication is not attached to the post of class C-I and C-II category Tt appears thin although the concerned workman had served about four years eonttnuously as a casual labour under railway administration and had got temporary status ye! ro attempt arr>"'t the con- c ^ ' vd workman was entitled to be considered for an sltel- natn" io'- bpionei"!* to cls"" C-T and CMT catP"orv r>nd if be was found rnedical'v fit he should have been absorbed on Ihe posts mentioned *ib.-iv:. which be'onp to C-T and C-TT caie- eorv under adrninistriitiv^ control of Divisional Rail-vav Mananer Northfrn RailwaV Alblvibad.
10. Tn view of the findings recorded above, I hold that the termination of the concerned workman w.e.f. 11-2-86 was illegal being passed in violation of Section 25F of the Act, but he was not entitled t'J b° reinstated on the post on which he was working as be' was medically unfit for that post. However, he was entitled tc be considered for absorp- tion on other similar posts iti o*h:r departments of Northern Railway under control of DM M.. Northern Railway, Allaha- bad.
11. In view of above consideration, Divisional Railway, Northern Railway, Allahabad, is directed to consider the con- cerned workman for alterntrrive employment on the posts of similar category like safa.w.ila etc., in other departments and offices of railway under his control after getting him medica'Iy examined in class C-I and C-TI category and if he is found medically fit to absorb him on the similar post on which he was working and which belong to C-I and C-II categoiy. Tf the alternative job is offered to him and he joins on that post the period from the date of termination of his service up to the date of joining on the alternative job shall be regularised fy Krantini; such leave which may be due to him. If no leave is due to him extra ordinary have may be granted to him ior that perid and that period shall count for terminal benefits.
12. The D.RM. Northern Railway, Mbhabad, is directed in make compliance of the aforesaid direction within a period of six months from the :<043 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: JUNE 30, 2001/ASADHA 9, 1923 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

3. The case for the management is that .he work- man w: s engaged us a daily wage part time messen- ger by the Bank Manage", Rakhari puiely on ad-hoc b.is's. No appointment letter was issued to him. Powers of recruitmenl of messengers in RRB are vested with Head Office and for this recruitment, recruitment procejuies ha'e !o he fallowed. The workman had continuously worked only for 214 days f-om October, 1989 to June. 1990. Thereafter he worked for 25 days in November, 1990. The workmon was not required to be given any notice as .claimed by him. He has not been retrenched as per his allegation. In view of all these facts, the work- man is nol entitled to ieinstatement with back Wi'ges.

5. Issue No. 1.—The workman has claimed rein- statement as messenger in the Kshetriya Gramin Bank, Chhindwara Seoni. He was given employ- ment by the Branch Manager. In this respect the workman ha" not been able to establish that the Branch Manager was legally authorised to appoint as a messenger in the Bank. On the contrary as per recruitment rules, the Brunch Manager has no legal authority to make appointment as rncvseiHier in the Branch of the Bank. For this post, the recruitment rules have been framed and they must be followed in p'vins the employment to any candidate as mesen- ger in the ba.tk. If any appointment is done in violation of the^ rules, then such appointment is void-i.b-iniiio.

4. The averments made in the statement of claim in short is that Shri Samman Singh was Railway emp- loyee and had worked under I.O.W. (1) Tundla from 31-8-76 to 5-9-83 continuously for 1746 days. He had acquiied temporary status after working conti- nuously ioi more than 120 days and had got CPC scale and MR.C.L. grade. Shri Samman Singh was not paid his sa1'ny according to pay scale of regular employee Samman Singh had died and after his death claimant had given implication in writing for her emoloyment under the Railway Administration on compassionate ground but her application was reject- ed on the ground that according to circular letter No. 1963 the widows of the deceased employee having got the C.P C. scale could be appointed on compas- sionate giound when employee had died on or after 31-12-86 The deceased Somman Singh had become entitled to pet a'l the service benefits .of rejn.ilar emp- loyee on acquiring •emporary status after completing 120 davs of continuous service. The claimant has prayed for the same relief.
5. On beh?lf of the railway administration written statement Ins been filed bv D.E.N. (Head Quarter) Nr. Railway, Tundla and has denied the claimants case for her appointment on compassionate ground.
KM) THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2001/ASADHA -9, 1923 [PART I I _ S E CJ 3(ii)]The case o) [he Railway A-ditrrmsti ation is that Sammau Sm^h was a casual worker and had worked for a total period ol 1746 da>s horn Jl-8-/t> to 5-9-83 and Ihcieallcr he hati voluiitaiy abandoned his service. Shri S:u-um.in Singh was paid all his salaiy according to e.^ting Jules and legu'alion and nothing was due 1o hi;n.
6. The case of the railway adnriiiistriition further is that alter 'leaving U,c service Sa'rnman Smgh had died at his residence cm 28-7-84 and thus the claimant was not cnliiled lor her appointment on compassionate ground iii terms of the circular No. 9J63 according to which the benefit ul the appointment on compassionate ground was available only to tiiosc widows of the workmen having acquired C.P.C. scale and died on or after 31-12-86, 'I he railway administration, how- ever, not denied factum of acquiring tcinpoiarj status hy late Samnian Singh allei completing 120 days of continuous s u v te as slated on behalf oi the claim.int.
piatetico in lailvay it is dillicult to obliterate the dis- tinction between the two categories oi employees till tempo:arv '-tatus is acquued. lhc casual labour in Signal Unit of Con'-tiiiction Department is entitled to the same piy as admissible to others ciher in the pio- jeet or in the open line. The raiiway administration was directed to consider claim of the casual labour promptly. I he second case iclied on behalf of the claimant is oi Union ol India and others Vs. Basaut Lai and others 1992 Supreme Court Cases L & S 611. It was the case relating m the regularisalion of the casual labour em;i!o\od by the railway who had con- tmuou-.tty worked loi over 120 days it is held that the casual labour v as entitled to be regularised us temporary labours and railway cannot deny them tem- prorary status on the ground that they had been ap- pointed as casual labour on a project work and not on constitution work on open line and they could acquire temporal y status only after compleing 3h(J days- of service.
3051"It is contended by the learned counsel for the lespondonl widows by ihe learned counsel that under paragraph 2511—"Rights and Privileges admissible to the casual iabouieis who are treated as temporary atter comple- tion ot hi\ months continuous service"—ot the Raiiv a> Estblishment Manual. They are entitled to family pension. We find it dilncuit to gi\e acceptance to the contemon. It Is seen that every casual labourei employed in he railvu." adrnini&ti alien fcr six months is euillcd to temporary staius. I hereafter they will be empanelled. A tier empaneunuit tliev ;u"e required to be screened by the com- petent authority and as and when vacancies for tempo?at} posts in the regular establish- ment au a\ailable they houid be appointed in ihe order of meat after screening. OP their appointment they are also lequired to put in minimum service of one ye at in the tcmooiary post. In view oi the above posi- tion, if any of those employees who had put in .the l-cquiied minimum se-svice of one vei.r (ha loo alier the appointment to the tempo- rary post died while in service his widow would be eligible to pension undei the Family Pension Scheme, 1&64. In all these cases though sorie of them have been screened yet appointments were not given since the tem- porary posts obviously were not available or in some cases they were not even eligible for screening b^eansp the po=!s become available after the death. Under these circumstances the respondent'widows are not eligible to the family pension."
In the said case the case of Ram Kumar and others Vs. U O . l. Supia and of Prabbawati Devi Vs. U.O.I. Supia were cited on behalf of the widow in support of their contention. Both these authorities were not accepted by Ihe Hcn'ble Supieme Court.
16. It is .thus -i settled position that unless a casual labour grt abcoibcd in temporary seivice after com- pleting J 20 days he shall not be entitled for the service benefits of regular employee. The said authority of the U.O.I, and others Vs. Rabia Bikaner etc. supra T find a later authority applies on all force in the case. On behalf of the claimants there is nothing to show that Saniman Singh was absorbed in temporary service after acquiring t mporarv status and on > this verv ground I find the claimant's case cannot be acceped.
17. In view of the fact 1 do not feel it necessary to enter ir^o discussions further on the case of the railway administration about the non-entilement of the claimant for a appointment on comonssinnate ground on the basis of Ihe circular No. 9163.
18. Tn view of the discussions I find that terms of reference should be decided in affirmative and the claimant is not entitled to anv relief. The Award in the case is given accordingly.

Whei tins was the practice, in jimuary iyy4 five workmen (who were the claimamts in this case) were trucked out from the rolls ot the Management and they were lefused ot employment. No work was given to them thereafter. 'Ihey made several representations for their aosorption but they did not find favour of the Management. So they raised a dispute. Reconciliation failed. Thereafter the Govt. of India have made a reference as stated above.
.The prayer of the workmen is that as they have worked for the Management tor a luig period they should be absorbed in the Management.
4. On the basis of the abov;. pleadings of the Parties the following Issues were settled :~
ISSUES
I. Whether the action of the Management of R.B.I. Bhubaneswar in terminating the ser- vices of Shri Samrat Ki. Lenka, Shri Narmder Nath Mallick and Shri Biswa- jit Digal is legal and justified ?
II. If not to what relief the workmen are entitled?
5. On behalf of the workmen two witnesses have been examined whereas, the Mamagement has examined one witness. The copy of the settlement has been filed and has been exhibited as Ext.-A and the statement showing the number of days worked by each workmen lias been exhibited as Ext.-B.
0. ISSUE NO. 1
The workmen have claimed that they weie ticca maz- doors. On the other liand the Management hat. adduced evidence to convince that the persons who were sponsored by tho employment exchange and applied for the post and had taced the interview were designated at ticcai mazdoors. The present workmen have never applied tor the post nor have faced any interview. Moreover their names were not sponsored by the employment exchange. This evidence of the Management has not been rebuted by the workmen. The witness examined on behalf of the workmen has admitted that their names were not sponsored nor they have faced any interview nor they had received any intimation from the bank for. doing any work. The witnesses examined on behalf of the workmen in cross examination have stated that there " as no written order from the Management empanelling them as ticca maz- doors. In face of this evidence I cam safely come to the conclusion that the workmen were not empanelled as ticca mazdoors. So the settlement mado between the Management and the Union could1 not be appli- cable to them. The work winch was being attended by the workmen was temporary and casual basis on the need of the jobs.
7. It has been pleaded on behalf ol the workmen that they were engaged as ticca or substitute or badaii in the Management and they have been refuted to employment with effect from Janinry 1994 even it they did not coinpVte 240 day*, preccdinp to their discharge or lermmnion for which they are entitled! to be noticed and abn they aie also entitled for payment.

Union reported in AiK 1994 SC 1040 favours the submission made on behalf ot toe Management mat mere completion of 2HU days by ticca mazdoors does not conlirm mny right to permanent absoipticn. Ihe Memorandum oi M.UL- ment dtd. 23-7-93 ha& been exhibited in this case as .hxt.-A. It was decided that, engaging persons on daily wage basis, pmely on ad hoc basis in Class-lV in various '/cadres shall l?e discontinued Exl.-li reveals tne number of days worked by the workmen. It is seen that one of the workmen namely Smarat Kr. Lenka has worked 48 days in the year 1990, 49 days in the }Car 1991, 71 days jn Uie yeai 19^2, 79 days in the year 1993, 2 Jays in the year 1994. His friend Shri Narendra Nath Mallick has worked 3 days in the year 1985, 87 days in the year 1990, 80 days in the year 1981, 128 days in the year 1992, 77 days in the yeair 1993 and in the year 1994 he was not worked for any day. Similarly. Shri Biswajit Digal has worked only for 217 days from the yeai 1990 to 1994. There has been a discontinuation of ticca system remains uncontroverted. That is supported by the merno- randum of settlement which has been maiked as Ext.-A.
8. From the evidence of both the parties aavilable on record' T am of the opinion that the workmen have not been engaged as ticca mazdoors •" the H:mk So when they have not applied for any job and have not faced any interview they would not be entitled for permanent absorption. Moreover as stated by the witness of the Management there is no vacancy in the bank for appointment of the workmen.
9. After careful consideration of the evidence on record and the materials pjaced 1 am of the opinion that there has been no violation of statutory provisions on the part of tie 1-t Party-Man,ipement in dispensing, the services of the 2nd Party-Workmen. So the action of the Management cannot be said to be illegal and un-justificd.

The Government of India in tht Ministry of Labour in exercise of powers conferred upon them by clause (d) of sub-section 0) of Section 10 of the Indust- rial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) referred the following dispute for adjudication vide their Order No. L-2~2012/204/95-ER(B-I), dated 25-9-95:—
"Whether the action of the Management of Re- serve Bank of India, Bhubaneswar. in termi- nating thcscrvicc, of Shri B. Malleswar Rao, Shn Mahendml Jena, Shri Nayan Navak Shri Upendra Natli Mallick, and Shri Linparaj Nunch is justified ? If not, to what relief the workman are entitled ?" 2. The facts behind the reference may be stated in brief:—The case ot the workmen is that they are ticca mazdoors working in the R.B.I, at Bhubaneswar on being empannelled by the Management. They had worked for more than 3 to 4 years but from January 1994 they have been refused of the employment. So they raised dispute before the Regional Labour Com- missioner. As the conciliation failed the matter has been referred to the Government of India! (Ministry of Labour) who in turn referred this matter to this Tribunal for answering the reference as stated above.
3. In the written statement the Management has pleaded that the procedure for appointment in baise cadre in Class—IV employees is that they call for names from the employment exchange and after due scrutiny regarding qualification and age the aplica- tions are invited from the short-listed candidates and they have faced the interview and medical test. There- after the wait-liset is prepared after taking into con- sideration the number of existing vacancies and they tire calJed as ticcis. The applicants -workmen do not come under the "ticcas" as their names were not Gjjonsored by the employment exchange and they have not faced any interview, They voluntarily come to the bank and if work is available their services arc utilised on daily rated basis. It is further submitted that, the settlement was reached between the Manage- ment and the Federation, representing the Class-IV cadre of the bank for consideration of persons selec- ted through proper procedure for engagement in the bank purely on adhoc basis. It is further pleaded that it was decided to dis-continue the practice of appointment of ticcas after adjusting, the list of ticcas which Was prepared. According to the Management, the workman do rot come under the category of ticcas and so they have got no right to claim regularisation.
4. On the above pleadings of the parties, the following issuia have been settled.

AND
The Assistant General Manager, State Bonk of India. Regional Office, Fir-,tArca. San jay Place, Agra.
AWARD
m On behalf of the workman statement of claim has been filed with the allegations that Sri Kishan Pal Singh was employed as canteen boy in State Dank of India, Aliganj Branch, District Etah in the year 1983 and since then he is working on that post. Ii has been alleged that he is serving the bank since 19R3 but he has not been made permanent in the service of the bank. Tt has been alleged that every year re- gular "selections of the employees is made in the bank and the concerned workman applied several times tor giving him regular employment in the bank but nc attention has been paid to his request hence he raised this industrial dispute which has teen referred to this tribunal for adjudication. It has been alleged that he is entitled LO get regular appointment in the bank. and is also entitled to get arrears of salary nt the rates mentioned in the claim statement.
I.have heard the authorised representatives-for both the sides and have gone through the record oi' the case. The auhoriscd representative for the manage- ment has argued that Kishan Pah Singh was a canteen boy in Aliganj Branch of the Bank in1 District Etah and was working as suvh-since 1933 and being ap- pointed by Local Imptemuntation Committee he could not be treated as an employee of the bank in the eye of "law and the bank has not committed any error in not treating him as employee of the bank. After going through the lecord of the case- I find toicc in this contention. Sri Suresh Chandra Agarwal, M.W.I clearly stated that Kishan Pal Singh was a canteen tooy -in the Ah'ganj Branch of the Bank and he- was never •appointed on any post under the bank. He stated -that canteen was being run by Local Imple- mentation Committee which was constituted by per- manent employees ol the bank and the concerned workman Vvas employed by Local Implementation Committee. He stated that Kishan Pal Singh never worked on any post in the bank. The oral testimony of this wjtiiess appears to be correct Kishan Pal 'Singh, W.\y.l admitted in his cross examination that he •was appointed by Local Implementation Committee as canteen boy and he was getting -salary as a canteen boy in Aliganj Branch of the Bank in District Etah. In his statement of claim also the concerned workman has been mentioned as canteen boy. In the reference order also Kishan Pal Singh has been mentioned as canteen boy, Aliganj Branch of State Bank of India situate in District Etah. The management has filed the original application dated 16-5-91 moved by Kishan Pal Singh in the bank for giving him regular appointment in the bank. In this application also he has mentioned bimscll as canteen boy who was work- ing there since 14-7-83. The check list of the Bank of Kislian Pal Singh is Ext. M-2 on record which shows that he was not considered for regular appoint- ment because he was canteen boy and was not eligible to be considered for regular appointment in view of the settlement mack- in the years 1988 and 1991. The aforesaid evidence on the record proves beyond doubt that Sri Kishan Pal Singh was appointed as canteen boy in the year, 1983, by Local Implementation Com- mittee and was working since then in Aliganj Branch of the Bank in District Etah.
The management has filed its reply with the alle- gations that the concerned workman Kishan Pal Singh was never an employee ol the State Bank oi India hence there was no quesfion of giving him regular appointment on any post in the bank. It has been alleged that he worked in the concerned biacch oi the bank as canteen boy in the canteen which was run by Local Implementation Committee which i* constituted by the permanent members of the local staff and which is run by the Secretary of Local Imple- mentation Committee nominated by the employees of the Bank. The Branch Manager is "Ex Officio Presi- dent" of that Committee. It has been alleged that Kishan Pal Singh was appointed as canteen boy by Local Implementation Committee and continues to be the employee of that committee. It has been alleged that the wages wcic paid to him from the account which is opened in the bank in the name of Local Implementation Committee. It has been alleged that in the settlement made between the management and Union of the employees of the bank in the year 1988 and 1991 the temporary, ad-hoc and daily wage em- ployee of the bank were given an opportunity to get regular employment in the bank after facing selection board but the concerned workman Kishan Pal Singh was not a temporary, ad-hoc or daily* wage employee of the bank hence his case for regular appointment could not be considered and he could not get any benefit of those settlements. As he was not in the employment of the bank he could not be given any benefit of the aforesaid settlements made in the years 1988 and 1991. ft has been alleged that the bank is not able to pay him any arrears of salary and the claim of the workman is not liable to he rejected and the reference should be decided in favour of the management and against the workman.
The authorised representative for the bank has drawn my attention towards the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in a similar case of State Bank of India and others Versus State Bank of India Canteen Employees Union, 2000-Lab. 1C 1481. In this ense the Ron'ble Supreme Court of India has considered the status of a canteen boy appointed by Local Implementation Committee and held as under—
On behalf of>the workman rejoinder has been filed in which allegations made in the claim statement have been reiterated and the facts alleged in the written statement have been denied.
Employees of the canteens which are run at vari- ous branches by the Local Implementation Committee as per the welfare sch&me framed by the SBI would not become employees of the Bank as the Bank is not having any sta- tutory or contractual obligation or obligation arising under the Award to run such canteens.
Union raising the present dispute examined Sri Kishan Pal Singh as W.W.I and filed 27 documents ma'-ked Exts. W-l to W-27. The management examined Sri Suresh Chandra Agarwal, the then branch manager of the bank as M.W.I and filed 7 documents marked Fxts. M-l to M-7 in support of its case.
The law laid clown in the case cited above fully applies in the present case also. I, therefore, hold that- Kishan Pill Singh' who was an employee of the canteen could no become employee of the State Bank of India hecause he was never appointed according to ruks against nnv post in the bank and the bank hag30 70 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: JUNE 30, 2001/ASADHA 9, 1923 [PARI II—SEC. 3(ift] not committed any error in not treating him the employee ot the bantc.
Kishan Pal Singh as bank employee and not giving him benefit of settlement dated 27-10-88. Consequently the concerned workan is not entitled for any relief.
Reference is, therefore, decided against the concerned workman and m favour of the management of State Bank of India.

AJAY KUMAR, Desk Officer I he authorised! representative lor the workman has drawn my attention towards the settlement dated 27-10-88 which was made between the SB1 and workmen employees in the SB1 a copy of that settle- ment is on the record. On tne basis vi tins settle- ment, the representative of the workman has argued tual tne concerned wouonan was entitled to be absorbed against a permanent post m the bank. On the other hand th3 representatn e of the bank has argued that this settlement was made between the employees of the bank and the management oi the bank tor considenng the cases ot daily waters tempo- rary workers and casual workers of the bank for re- gular appointment agains* the posts which were vacant and which may fall vacant up to 1992. He has also argued that only such persons could be considered ?for regular employment in the bank who were eligible ior the post vacant in the bank. He has also con- tended that canteen boy who was not employee of the bank was not eligible to be considered for regular appointment in view of settlement made on 27-10-88. I have gone through the contents of the aforesaid settle- ment. That settlement provides that only those per- sons w ho were engaged by bank on casual basis or on daily wage basis or on tempcrary[acF-hoc basis against the vacancies of messengers, sweepers, water boys, cash coolie etc., were entitled to be considered for regular appointment in the bank. In the settlement, the canteen boys ar.> not mentioned as persons eligi- ble t0 be considered'for legular appointment in the bank. Exts. M-l and M-2 also indicate that Kishan Pal Singh had also applied for regular appointment on a post in the bank as canteen boy but his applica- tion was rejected because he was not entitled to get the benefit of the settlement being an employee of Local Implem;nlafion Committee and not an em- ployee of the 'iank. I, therefore, hold that the bank has not committed1 any mistake in not considering the case of Kishan Pal Singh for

"Whether the Bharat Gold Mines Employees Union K.G.F. is justified in their demand3172 THE GAZETTE OF TNTJTA: JUNE 30, 2001/ASADHA 9, 1923 [PART .II—SEC. .3(ii)] for promotion of S/Shri Karunanidhi PE No. 129222, Bagyanathan, PE No. 122500, Arumugam, PE No. 123938 and Suguma- ran, PE No. 144347 to clerical cndie? If so, what relief the employees arc cntitlul to ?"
2. First Party joined the services of second party en 11-7-1977 as General Labourer. He joined as a permanent employee of the Second party management since 1985 and has been working as Clerk and dis- charging duties as a Clerk. He was denied promotion so dispute is raised.
3. First party appeared and filed claim statement.
The case of the first party in brief is as under:—• 4. First party wiw working as a Clerk since 1QR5 but his designation remains as General Labourer and was getting salary of General Labourer. One Shri Armugam joined on 11-7-77 as Shiftman since 1985 and he was working as Clerk but still designated as General Labourer. '"So also Karunanidhi joined as Timbcrman and working as a Clerk. All these work- men have completed their SSLC and Junior Type- writing and management is taking work in the office. The \^>rkmen are working as Clerks since 1985 but tfriey are still designated as 'aboiircn. so the action of the management is illeg.nl and in violaion of statutory rights of the workmen. The first party has prayed to pass award in his favour,
5. The Second party appeared and filed counter.
The case of the second party in brief i* as unJcr:
6. Second Party is not aware whether Bhagynatban, Karunanidhi, Armuram and Sngumaran are union members. It is a fact that they joined the services of the Second party management- as General Labourer for underground work from the date of their joining till 1-9-90. Thev voi'nlaniv worked on their own grade on surface in t:me section to lenrn the job and accordingly thev were promoted to work on surface, It is not correct to sav that the workmen were work- ing as Clerk at any time. Their appointment was only on underground wo>"k r"_; General I alv.urer 7. It is the furtive case of the Suond party thnt .the workmen were appointed in 1977 and 1980 as Genera] Labourers. The contention of the first party that thev were working as clerks since 1985 is abso- lutely false. All the allcgaiirns made bv the second party are not correct. The contention of the firsL party workmen is that the management of Nandidoorg Mines have given unmerited promotion to 'D' grade to one Shri Pattabiraman, a general Jahourer W'IO was very much junior to this workman is false and the work- men are not entitled for promotion as Clerk. The man- agement ' for these reasons has prayed to reject the reference.
8. Tt is seen from the records that B. Bhagyanathan was examined as WW1 nnd documents marked in tvi<" evHenci". \painst this Sim N. B'llasitbramaman exa- mined ns MW1 and documents are marked.
'). 1 have hearJ the arguments and perusrd all the documents and read evidence carefully. The evidence of WW1 is not sufficient to say that the workmen of the first party union have worked ss staff as alleged in the Claim Statement. VVVV1 sfates in his cross-exami- n ition that he did not produce any document evi- dencing that he was working in the Magazine section afli-r 1979 and Ihcn he started working as clerk from 1985 in the time office. This it -self is sufficient to show that the case of the first patty union workmen is not correct. WW1 says in his cross examination that he has not passed any cross examination. He further says that they gave representation to the Personal Manager. They have not given any endorsement. He did not produce the copy of the representation to this Tiibunal. With this cross examination I am of the opinion that he is not speaking truth and his evi- dence will not helpful to show this workmen were working at any time as clerks and they are entitled promotion as of right. WW1 further says in his cross examination that he does not know whether there are no p^sts of clerks in other words it is clear from the above evidence that there are no clerical posts avail- able.
10. Coming to the evidence of the MWI he cate- gorically states that these workmen were working as General Labourer. He further says that m therr oral representation the second party ordered them to work in the time office as General Labourer to assist the clerks and to learn the job. This work was on a tem- porary basis. They are paid v/ages as applicable to GL cadre. He categorically states that these workmen arc not entitled to be designated as clerks which is three grade above the general labourer. He categori- cally states in his cross examination that general labourers are also eligible for promotion in their res- pective cadres.
11. Taking all this into consideration I am of the opinion that the dispute has no merit and the first party workmen has failed to establish that they work- ed as clerks at any time. Tn view of the evidence by WW1 that no documents are produced to show that they started working as Clerk from 1985. It can be said that the General Labourer^ are also eligible for promotion but for regular promotion rules will have to be followed and the, first party Workmen have not established that they have fulfilled the qualifications for promotion and they are entitled for promotion as per the rules of the second party management.
12. Taking all this into consideration I am of the opinion that there is no merit in this reference and accordingly I proceed to pass the following order:

9lh November, 1998 BY REGISTERED POST A.D
To The General Manager (Western Region),
M/s Castrol India Ltd., Reay Road, Mumbai 400 010. Ref. : Your Notice dated November 6-1998
Sir,
We have been informed by our members of a notice dt. 6-11-1998, which you have unilaterally displayed on, the factory notice board and have also immediately implemented. We must regretfully say that the contents have shocked us. We have the following say in response :
1. You say that negotiations with the Union, in respect of the-workmen not transferred and remaining after the settlement dt. 14-10-1998, are in progress, which is just not true. There has been no negotiation/discussion in respect of the said workmen after the settlement^dt- 14-10-199S.
2. The said settlement specifically states that the matter of remaining workmen will be. dealt with as per the existing law. But you have brazenly contravened this clause by replacing your permanent waJchmcn by new con- tract watchmen immediately after putting up the said notice and by actually preventing the regular workmen from entering the Company premises at Roay Road.
3. The subsisting long term settlement dated 11-09-1997, makes it binding On you to provide wrrktothe work men covered by the settlement. Only paying them their monthly salary does not absolve you of your commit mem-undei the said settlement. You have tafo-n this step only with a view to :enoriso and pies&urise the work- men to accept the Voluntary Retirement Scheme, which you have been trying to thrust down the throats of your workmen. Tn fact your officers have time and again been telling the workmen that the notice under reference has been necessitated because the- workmen have not been accepting the Voluntary Retirement Scheme.
4. Please note that your above action amounts to a lock-out without compliance of the provisions of Law and therefore an illegal lockout and the samo is an unfair labour practice on your part. We, therefore, reject the said notice. Please note that our members shall report for dufy normally every day to seek work and they will accept theii monthly salaries at the factory only, on the normal pay-day.
In view of the facts stated above, we make the following demands on you.
DEMANDS
1. "that all the workmen those names arc listed in the annenure attached herewith , should be allowed to enter Ilie factory premises forthwith and they should be provided regular and normal work;"3080 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2001/ASADHA 9, 1923 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] 2. "that the fresh contract watchmen that you have appointed in place of your regular permanent watchmen with effect from 06-11-1998 be discontinued Immediately and your regular permanent watchmen be given their normal regular work."
We trust you will concede the above demands in full on receipt of this letter, telling which we will be cons- trained to take such steps as we deem fit to secure the grievance of our members.
Yours faithfully,
For PETROLEUM WORKMEN'S UNION
(V.V. DAMLE) General Secretary
