Passed on this 9th day of December, 2006

Shri Keshar Singh was again promoted to the post of Sr.Mechanic on 28-6-1996 , the remaining two who were junior to him wer promoted later to the said post - Sarva Shri Mister Khan on 27-6-1998 and Ganpat Singh on 29-6-1998 . The Sr. Most Shri Keshar Singh was again promoted to the higher post ofMaster Mechanic Grade - II on 25-12-2000, whereas Sarva Shri Ganpat Singh and Mister Khan were promoted to this post on 27-12-2002 . Shri Keshar Singh being senior most has been drawing higher pay than his juniors and in any case juniors cannot demand stepping up of pay at par with their senior. That Shri Ganpat Singh and Shri Mister Khan were in the pre- revised scale of Rs . 610-904 (Revised Rs . 1455-1973 ) and were drawing Basic pay of Rs . 882 (Pre - revised) (Rs . 1773 revised ) on 1-7-1989 respectively, whereas Shri Keshar Singh was in the pay scale of Rs . 1455-1973 (revised) and drawing basic pay of Rs . 1813 (revised) . The payment of basic of Rs. 1853 on 1-7-1990 to Shri Keshar Singh and Rs . 1813 to Shri Ganpat Singh and Shri Mister Khan were in order. In fact the pay parity claimed by the petitioners on 1-7-1989 was due to wrong fixation of basic pay of Shri Keshar Singh which was rectified by office order dated 17-3-1990.

If not to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled to ?"

Rs . 1773 (Rs . 1733 on 1-1-1989)

2.After the reference order was received , it was duly registered on 4-7-2005 and notices were issued to the parties. to file their respective statements of claim . Both the workmen Sarva Shri Ganpat Singh and Mister Khan put in their appearance . They were given several dates for filing statement of claim but they failed to file the statement of claim and therefore ultimately on 17-7-2006, their right of filing statement of claim was closed and the reference was ordered to proceed exparte against workmen .

Further during the above period, no fixation was involved at all but only routine increments were granted . Thre was no differential treatment meted out to the workmen and the pay of the juniors cannot be made equal to the senior by virtue of their getting promotion and coming in the same scale . The pay of Shri Keshar Singh was Rs . 4216 and that of Shri Ganpat Singh and Mister Khan were fixed at Rs . 3892 on 1-7-1998 on promotion . It is , therefore, clear that there is no case of unfair treatment to Shri Ganpat Singh and Shri Mister Khan and their demand ofpromoting them with Shri Keshar Singh who was all along their senior cannot be acceded to . There is no anomaly and the claim is without any basis and award is liable to be given that the action of the management is justified.

4.Management examind Shri Pradeep Saxena , the then working as Dy. Manager (Personnel ) , NMDC Lid . , Panna and closed their evidence .

3. The management filed their Written Statement . Their case in brief is as follows . Shri Keshar Singh (who is senior ) and workmen Sarva Shri Ganpat Singh and Mister Khan who are junior to Shri Keshar Singh were working as Mechanic Grade - III w.e.f. 31-12-1977 , 12-1-1978 and 28-4-1978 respectvely.

work from the beginning of commissioning of the depot. The unions came into the picture only later. When the employees wanted more work and higher wages the first management took a stand that the employees were working under contractors . But actually the contractors were intermediaries and persons put up by the 1st management with ulterior motive . The 1st management is the employer. The 1st management issued identity cards to the workers and they were covered under ESI and PF Acts . Attendance Register was maintained by the company. Instructions and directions were given by the company . The power to take disciplinary action is vested with the company . There were long-term settlements between company, contractors and tradeunions . Till 31-1-2000 the 26 employees worked in the company. But on 1-2-2000 work was denied abruptly. A notice was published on the gate of the company stating thatthere is no work. The business was shifted to Ernakulam depot . The workers were in the employment of 1st management company for 8 years . Without issuing a notice to them according to law they were denied employment . The workers are entitled to be reinstated with back wages .

AWARD

This is a reference made by Central Government under Section 10 ( 1 ) (d) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for adjudication . The reference is :-

"Whether there exists any employer - employee relationship between the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd. , Chavara, Kollam Dist. and the 26 workers ( list attached) who are also the project affected people ( PAPAs ) engaged through contractors, in their depot? And whether the demand for wage enhancement by the worker is justified ? If so, to what relief the workmen are entitled to?

2. The facts of the case are as follows :-

Twenty six workers have raised the industrial dispute through four trade unions . The first management is Hindustan Petroleum Company and managements 2 to 5 are contractors . For establishing a depot for storage and distribution of various petroleum products in Southen part ofKerala , the Hindustan Petroleum Corporation acquired 27% acres of land at Ponmana of Karunagappally , Kollam District and commenced construction work of the company in 1992. The commercial transaction started in 1994. The land was acquired through Government and compensation under Land Acquisition Act was paid to 27 families who were evicted in pursuance to acquisition . Out of them one evictee died. Out of the evicted families , 26 members demanded employment in the depot . Thus the dispute started.

3. According to the unions the 1st management companyhad promised at the time of eviction ofthe families that at least one member of each family would be given employment in the depot . In fact 26 evictees were given

4.According to the management land was acquired and compensation was given to the land owners . There was no promise by the company to provide employment to the evictees . In 1994 when the business of the company commenced at Kollam the labour strength required was limited. There were only 2 officers , 2 clerks and 4 general workmen. Out of them one general workman was recruited from among the evictees and others were transferred from other establishments of the company to Kollam. The 1st management company being a Government Undertaking the staff can be recruited only through Employment Exchange . One such evictee was taken through Employment Exchange . There was no possibility to increase the strength of workers in the depot as there was no increase in depot activities after its commencement in 1994. Due to the demand for employment and protest of the evictees the District Collector and RDO had intervened and held discussions with trade unions , contractors and 1st management . As per an understanding the 1st management had instructed the contractors to engage 26 evictees if unskilled labourers were required for intermittent work in the company, like grass cutting , maintenance, etc. however the 1st management had not employed these workers . No identity card was issued and no attendance register of workers was maintained by the company. It was done by the contractors . The company never supervised the work of contract labour . No disciplinary action was taken by the company. There is no master and servant relationship between the contract labour and 1st management company . The workers wanted direct employment under 1st management . The RDO had intervened in the dispute . But there was no settlement . The matter was taken up before Assistant Labour Commissioner ( Central) . But conciliation failed . Since there [PART II -SEC . 3( ii) ] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10, 2007 /PHALGUNA 19, 1928

1440

was protest and threat to company staff by the contract labourers the company discontinued its operation at Kollam depot from 1-2-2000 onwards . The company has no responsibility to provide employment to the evictees . The contract labourers had filed 2 writ petitions before Hon'ble High Court of Kerala regarding the same subject -matter. There are no vacancies for recruiting anybody else . The workers are not entitled for any relief.

5. In the light of the above contentions the following points arise for consideration:

(1) Arc the 26 workers the employees of 1st management company?

(2) Are the workers entitled for reinstatement ?

(3) Are they entitled for wage enhancement ?

(4) Is the claim barred by res judicata ?

(5) Relicfs .

The evidence consists of the oral testimony of WW1 and 2 and documentary evidence of Exts . WIto 12 on the side of unions and MWI and Exts . MI & M2 on the side of management .

6. Point No. ( 1) :

7. So far as the present case is concerned , it is not enough to describe in so many words that the company is supervising and controlling the workers , payment is made by the company, disciplinary action is taken by the company, etc. There should be proof in support of such contentions . Then alone the relationship could be established . It is seen from the materials on record that Indentity Cards alone were issued by the 1st management company. Ext . W1 scries arc I/Cards ( 19 in number) issued by the Depot Manager of the Company to the workers . The ESI cards and EPF remittance receipts , Ext . W2 series (24 in number) and Ext . W3 scries ( 16) respectively werc issued by concerned authorities under ESI Act and EPF Act. They are statutory liabilities of employer. Whether the workers are working under contractor or under principal employer these liabilities have to be shouldered by the concerned employer . In case the contractor , who is the immediate employer, fails to remit the contributions to EPF and ESI Scheme then the ultimate liability is with the principal employer. But the workers cannot say on the basis of Exts . W2 scries and W3 series that 1st management is the real employer . Ext . W4 series (20 ) are wages slips issued to the workers by the contractors and signed by them and not by the 1st management company. In the claim statement in para 5 it is stated that contractors were interposed by the company for the purpose of disbursing wages through them. MW 1 , the officer of the 1st management company, in the cross - examination deposed that the wages were paid by contractors and not by the 1st management company . WW1 , Union Secretary, in the cross - examination ( pg . 3) admitted that wages were paid by contractors .

The very reference shows that 26 workers who have raised the dispute through unions were engaged through contractors in the 1st management depot . However , according to the unions the 4 contractors who are managements 2 to 5 are only name - lenders of 1st management and they were hoisted by the 1st management in order to deny monetary benefits to the workers and shirk statutory liability . They contend that in fact every activity of workers was controlled and supervised by the 1st management . Indentity Cards were issued by the company . The workers were covered under ESI and EPF Acts . Attendance Register was maintained by the company . Disciplinary action was taken by the company . Besides , long term settlements were reached between company and unions . The contractors are a cover to shield the 1st management company from monetary liabilities . Relying on the decision reported in Hussainbhai V. Alath Factory Thozhilali Union AIR 1978 SC 1410 the learned counsel for the unions submitted that when evidence is analysed and dived deep the actual facts would be exposed that the real employer is the 1st management company and not the contractors . It is held in the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court referred above that ' the presence of intermediate contractors with whom alone the workers have immediate or direct relationship ex - contractor is of no consequence when , on lifting the veil or looking at the conspectus of factors governing employment , it is found , though draped in different perfect paper arrangement, that the real employer is the management , not the immediate contractor .

8. The next contention of the workers is that there were long - term settlements between the 1st management company and the union representatives of workers . But the contention is not true . Ext . W6 is the minutes of the meeting held by RDO , Kollam on 29-10-1992 . The Company was not a partyto the mecting. The meeting was called by RDO . The demand of locals for employment in the 1st management depot was on the ground that they were evictees of the land where the company was constructed. Ext. W7 is minutes of the meeting held on 26-6-1996 by RDO. The company was a party to the meeting . However no final decision was taken on that day and for further discussion the meeting was adjourned. The dispute in the said meeting was whether the hose fitting to trucks was to be done by locals or permanent workers of the company or cleaners of lorries in which petroleum products were brought to the company . The next meeting of RDO was held on 3-7-1996 and minutes of the said meeting is Ext . W8 . There the 1st management company was a party. However no settlement could be arrived on the dispute . It ended in failure , Ext . W5 is a settlement arrived before RDO on 15-7-1996 between contractors and unions , and company was not a party to the settlement . The company signed the settlement only as witness (Ext . W5 , pg.3 &4) .

[ भाग II-खण्ड. 3 (ii) ]

when the company was functioning . Therefore the question ofreinstatement or regularization in the service of company does not arise . held accordingly.

10. Point No. (3) :

The workers are claiming enhanced wages from the company. I have already found that the workers are not employees of the company . Hence they have ho right to demand wages hike as against the company. They cannot also claim higher wages as against the contractors as the company is no more functioning at Kollam.

11. Point No. (4) :

According to the management, on the same subject- matter and issue the workers had filed 2 writ O.Ps. as O.P. 2655/2000 and O.P. 14543/2000. Exts . M1 & M2 are copies of writ O.Ps. The first O.P. was disposed off finally on 31-1-2006 (judgement produced by the management) . It is ordered by the Hon'ble High Court that in case any recruitment is made in Kollam Depot the workers being evictees shall be considered in preference to outsiders . In the light of this judgement it is contended by the management that the issue before this court is barred by principles of res judicata . The learned counsel finds support of his contention in Z.M. , Central Bank of India v . D.Anjaiah 2004 III - LLJ 1118. It is held by the High Court of Andhra Pradesh, after quoting a passage from the decision ofHon'ble High Court in Punjab Khadi & Village Industries Board v. P. Kulothangan 2003 III LLJ 1153, as follows:

The settlement was regarding the number of days of work in a month, to be given to the workers , payment of bonus , shift timings , safety and security measures and disciplinary action . Since the company is not a party to Ext . W5 settlement none of the terms of settlement are binding on the company. Ext . W9 is the notice of conciliation issued by ALC(C) on 3-5-1999. to unions, contractors and company. Ext. W10 is the minutes of concliation held on 20-12-1999 by ALC(C) . No final decision was arrived on that day and the conciliation was adjourned. Ext. W11 is failure report prepared by ALC( C) after discussion with different parties to the conciliation . Thereafter the District Collector had intervened and held a meeting of all parties because of agitation and protest by the workers , for an amicable settlement . A notice for that purpose was issued on 18-2-2000 . But the conciliation efforts were in vain . Hence theDistrict Collector prepared a failure report on 8-3-2000 (Ext. W12) . Thus , no settlements were arrived between the company and the unions regarding employment or service conditions of workers and the settlement was only with the contractors (Ext . W5) . The attempt of ALC (C) and- District Collector for settlement between the workers and the company as well as contractors ended in failure . It is to be noted that as per Ext . W5 settlement between the unions and contractors disciplinary action is to be taken by the contractor concerned (Clause 5 of Ext . W5) . Thus , even the disciplinary action is to be taken by the contractors and not by the 1st management company . It is thus seen from the materials on record that except issuance of I/Cards to the workers nothing else was done by the company in order to say that the workers are employees of the company and every activity of workers is directed, supervised and controlled by the company. The company premises , being a protected area none without Identity Cards was allowed entry. It is relevant to note that WW1 , Union Secretary has admittedthat recruitment of workers is to be done through Employment Exchange , the 1st management company being aGovt . of India undertaking . One of the evictees was thus recruited through Employment Exchange by the company and it is admitted by WW2 , another Union Secretary . The same is recorded in Ext . W8 , minutes of the meeting held by RDO on 3-7-1996 . Thus , there is absolutely no evidence to show that there is master and servant relationship or employer - employee relationship between the 1st management company and workers . Point is answered accordingly.

9. Point No. (2) :

Since I have found that there is no master and servant relationship between 1st management and the workers the latter cannot claim reinstatement. Moreover, it has come out in evidence that Kollam Depot was closed on 1-2-2000 and even now it is not re - opened . The business in Kollam Depot was shifted to Ernakulam. The claim of workers is for reinstatement by 1st management company. The contractors , managements 2 to 5, had engaged the workers

"6. The principle of res judicata operates on the Court . It is the courts which are prohibited from trying the issue which was directly and substantially in issue in the earlier proceedings between the same parties, provided the Court trying the subsequent proceeding is satisfied that the earlier Court was competent to dispose of the earlier proceedings and that the matter has been heard and finally decided by such Court . Here the parties to the writ petition filed by the respondent in the Madras High Court and the industrial dispute were the same . The cause of action in both was the refusal of the propellant to allow the respondent to rejoin service . The Madras High Court was competent to decide the issue which it did with a reasoned order on the merits and after a contested hearing . This was not a case where the earlier proceedings had been disposed of on any technical ground as was the case in Workmen of Cochin Port Trust 'v. Board of Trustees of the Cochin Port Trust and another AIR 1978 SC 1283 : 1978 (3 ) SCC119: 1978- II-LLJ- 161 Pujari Bai v. Madan Gopal ( dead ) by L.Rs. AIR 1989 SC 1764. The "lesser relief" of reinstatement which was the subject matter of.the industrial dispute had already been claimed by the respondent in the writ petition . This was 1442

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: MARCH 10 , 20

refused by the High Court. The correctness of the decision in the writ proceedings has not been challenged by the respondent . The decision was , therefore . final . Having got an adve se order in the writ petition, it was not opento trespondent tore-agitate the issue before the hour Court and the Labour Court was incompetent to entertom the dispute raised by the respondent and re decide the matter in the face the earlier decision of the High Court in the wrin, oceedings .

7. Frote the above , it is clear that the doctrine of res in hata is applicable to industrial adjudication also . When the dispute used about termmation of services of temporary workman by way of writ petition, was disposed of reasoned order, on merits , and after contested caring , and after that order becomes final , re - agitation of same issue before Labour Court is barred by res judicata

12. Theparit Ps. were filed alleging tt . at the time of acquisition of land and eviction of fanail , from their houses , the cotapany had promised to give cre, loyment at least to one member each of the evicted tamdies. But they did not keep up the promise . When the worker agitated, in the presence of RDO there was a concilion and the company agreed to take some of the evices through contractors . Thus workers were given casual uployment under contractors. But as per the assamanee sen by the company the workers are entitled to be ap inted and regularized by the company. The prayer .Ps . was therefore for appointtraent and regidarization of workers by the company On the other hand , in the press reference the claim is that, though they were for the purp . of record, taken for the work in the company nader antractors , actually they are the etaployees of the come . There is master and sorani relationship between cor my and the workers . Hence, they are entitled to bera Hated and Ps . and in writ O.P. regularized in service . Thus the issues in wir the present wherence are different. Moreover, 2655/2000s pot decided on merits, but in ti itght of the submission of the management before the Hon'ble High Court that the congpany was closed since 1-2 000, it was ordered by Hon Se High Court that in case as a cruitment is made in the depot the petitioners in considered in pyyference to outsiders . There is not barred by res judicata. shall be he dispute 13. Point No. ( 5 )

The werkers are not the emolos of 1st management company int of contractor. 2. They are not entitled to siam employment or reins sement or regularisation in the ist management company. Since they are not workmen ofthe company they are alot entitled for retrenchmeut compensation from the company . None of the other provisions of Chapter V - A of 1.D. Act is

Lustan Petroleum Corporation Limited , Chavara, Kollam Detract and the 26 workers engaged through contractors . 11 dermand for wage enhancement by the workers is not gusfied.

AWARD

The Ministry of Labour by its letter No. L- 11012/14/ 97/IR ( M) Central Government Dt. 8-6-1998 has referred the following point for adjudication.

The management has filed written statement . In the written statement it has been stated that the appropriate Government has passed the reference order mechanically and arbitrarily and without application of mind to the facts and circumstances of the case . The reference is bad and this Hon'ble Tribunal has no jurisdiction to try the matter.

The point runs as hereunder :-

That the statement of claim is bad under section 2 (k) and2 (s) of the ID Act, 1947 and this Hon'ble Tribunal has no jurisdiction to try the matter .

"Whether the claim of Smt . Shakuntala, Safai Karamchari / Contract labour for absorption/ regularization of her services by the management ofAirport Authority of India (IA Division) on the

That the statement of claim filed by the claimant is not maintainable for mis - joinder and non- joinder of the [PART II-SEC . 3 ( ii ) ] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10, 2007/PHALGUNA 19, 1928

1444

necessary parties , the contractor , hence , the Hon'ble Tribunal has no jurisdiction to try the matter .

It is further submitted that the workman had never worked with the answering management and hence the workman is not entitled to any claim whatsoever from the answring management .

It is further submitted that no valid industrial dispute was raised and procedures followed . It is further submitted that the workman is not entitled to any employment as not being the employee of the management at all at any point oftime.

That the Regulation and Abolition of the Contract will come under the purview of Contract Labour ( Regulation and Abolition ) Act, 1970 and as such the appropriate Government to decide the matter pertaining to contract labour is the Central Government through the Advisory Board as provided in the Act. No industrial dispute can said to be in this matter ; hence this Hon'ble Tribunal has nojurisdiction to try the matter .

It is further submitted that the alleged industrial dispute has been raised to black mail and pressurize the management to come to the dictated terms of the management .

That the claimant has not approached this Hon'ble Forum with clean hands and has suppressed the material facts . Hence, is not entitled any relief whatsoever.

It is further submitted that the workman was gainfully employed and she does not require any other jobs .

That the claim is highly belated, malafide and has been raised by misusing the process of law and to harass and black - mail the management .

Prayer clause of the statement of claim is wrong and denied and she is not entitled to any relief whatsoever .

It is , therefore , respectfully prayed that the claim of the workman may kindly be dismissed with costs and the reference may be answered accordingly in the interest of justice.

That no valid, proper demand notice was served on the mnagement by the claimant before filing the case with the conciliation officer. In any event no industrial dispute can be said to have been validly raised . The reference is bad and the Hon'ble Tribunal has no jurisdiction to try the matter.

The workman applicant has filed rejoinder . In her rejoinder she has reiterated the averments of her claim statement and has denied most of the paras of the written statement . The management has also denied most of the parasaras of the claim statement .

That without prejudice to the above mentioned preliminary objections , it is submitted that after the recent judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India , even otherwise the claim of the workman is not maintainable and is liable to be rejected as being an employee of the contractor .

Evidence of both the parties has been taken . Management was heard .

It transpires from perusal of the order sheet that the workman was not present on several dates , so his cross examination has been closed .

That , without prejudice to the above mentioned preliminary objection , it is submitted that the claim is highly belated and has not been validly espoused either by any union having locus standi to do so or by substantial body to the workman . No industrial dispute can be said to be existence . Hence , this Hon'ble Tribunal has no jurisdiction totry the matter.

The case of the workman is that she was doing the work of sweeping , cleaning and dusting in the premises of the respondent's organization during the year 1995 onwards . Her services were terminated on 6-12-1996 . She has been rendered jobless .

Without prejudice to the preliminary objections raised above which are jurisdictional points and as such to be decided first , the parawise reply to the alleged claim is as under:---

It was submitted from the side of the management that the workman has not worked with them . There is no relation of employer and employee .

That it is admitted by the workman that she was working under the contructor and not under the answering management , hence no claim lies against the answering management . It is submitted that in the recent judgment passed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court the contract labourers for the purpose of sweeping , cleaning and dusting etc. cannot claim regularization as they remained to be the employce of the contractor.

It becomes quite obvious from perusal of the record that the year of employment according to claim is 1995 . The workman in her cross cxamination has stated that she was engaged in the Airport in the year 1984. The workman has not filed even a single document regarding her employment . She has stated in her affidavit that she was employed in the year 1996 through a contractor under the respondent/management . Her services have been terminated in the year 1996. A case of 240 working days is not made out even on the basis of her affidavit . There is no other document in support of her claim statement. She is not entitled to get any relief as prayed for .

It is further submitted that the workman was never an employee of the answering management ; hence , there is no question of termination of her services . it is also denied that the job claims to be working for is a continuous one . The contractors are given to do jobs as and when it is required by the department for a specific period of time.

AWARD

The Ministry of Labour by its letter No.L- 29011 /49 / 2000-1R (M ) Central Government Dt . 24-01-2001 has referred the following point for adjudication.

The point runs as hereunder : ----

"Whether the action of the management of HML in terminating the service of Shri Chander Pal w.e.f. 31.12.1999 is just and legal ? If not , to what relief the workman is entitled for . "

The workman applicant has filed statement of claim . In the statement of claim it is stated that the workman was engaged against a permanent post on the verbal order of Manager ofM/ s . Haryana Minerals Limited ( in short- HMI . ) w.c.f. 09-10-1990 as a Bill Clerk but no written appointment letter was issued to the workman by the respondent . The last drawn wages of the applicant/ workman was Rs.1130 per month consolidated .

That the respondent is a Public Limited Company registered under the Companies Act and doing the business [ भाग II- खण्ड 3 (ii) ]

of Mining of Stones , Silica Sand etc. in the State of Haryana which is a State Government Undertaking and by employing the workman its strength goes to more than 1000 employees on differentjobs .

That the workman worked at Faridabad un- interruptedly from 9th October, 1990 to 21st December, 1992 to the satisfaction of the employer on the rate of wages assessed by the respondent and lastly, the workman was drawingwages of Rs . 1130 per month consolidated and no increase was given to him.

That the work and conduct of the workman remained blotless and quite satisfactory during the tenure of his services and no chance of complaint was ever given to his superiors.

That the applicant reported for duty as usual on 21-12-1992, but on the verbal orders of the Manager ofthe respondent, he was stopped from doing his duties and was told that his services were no more required by the HML. Hence , the services of the workman have been terminatedby the respondent with effect from 21-12-1992 in an utmost illegal and arbitrary manner and no retrenchment compensation or notice pay was given to him u/ s 25 F /25N of the ID Act, 1947 which are mandatory under the provisions of the ID Act , 1947 .

That the respondent had not issued any show cause notice or charge sheet nor any domestic inquiry was ever held. Even no opportunity was given to the workman of beingheard before terminating the services of the workman by the HML .

That the workman worked in the Company i.e. HML from09-10-1990 to21-12-1992 for a period of more than240 days without any break . Hence, terminating . the services ofthe workman in this manner by the respondent company, amounts to retrenchment u/ s 2 ( oo) of the Act, and the respondent was legally responsible to comply with the provisions of sections 25 F and 25 N of the Act which they failedtodo. Hence, terminating the services of the workman is ex- facie illegal and the workman is entitled to reinstatement into service with continuity of service and full back wages and also to other consequential benefits .

That M/ s . Haryana Minerals Limited being an industry u/s 2 J of the Act, is an "Industrial Establishment" . Therefore , termination of services of the workman without any rhyme or reason or without leveling any charges against him or without conducting any domestic inquiry or without giving him an opportunity of being heard , is violation of Industrial Dispute Act and also against natural justice.

In view of the above facts the action of the respondent company is grossly unjust and illegal and the workman submits that he may kindly be reinstated into service with continuity of service and full back wages on the following among other grounds :-

1447

भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10, 2007/फाल्गुन 19, 1928

(a) because the workman worked more than 240 days continuously without any break .

(b) because the workman has not committed any misconduct an has not been issued any charge sheet or no domestic inquiry was conducted into the matter.

(c) because the workman has not been retrenched incompliance of the mandatory provisions u/s . 25 F/25N of the ID Act, 1947 .

(d) because the action of the respondent company i.e. not permitting the workman to resume his duties on 21-12-1992 amounts to illegal termination of services as such they have not bothered to comply with the statutory provisions of the Act .

Under the above circumstances , the workman most respectfully prays that the Hon'ble Tribunal may graciously be pleased to answer the reference in favour of the workman and against the respondent company, particularly directing the respondent company :-

(a) to reinstate the workman into service with continuity of service and full back wages etc. (b) to award cost of the proceedings in favour of theworkman.

(c) award/grant any other and/ or further relief this Hon'ble Tribunal may deem fit and proper.

The management has filed written statement . In the written statement it is stated that the services of the workman were retrenched with effect from 21-12-1992 in compliance/under the provisions of Section 25 F of the ID Act, 1947 because the respondent management has/had become unable to provide employment in the mining operations or otherwise due to closure of the stone crushers inpursuanceto the order of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of Indiadated 15-5-1992 in W.P. No.4677/ 1985. It is pertinent to mention that by the said order all the mechanical stone crushers in Faridabad/Bahadurgarh arca were directed to be closed with effect from 15-6-1992 . Further the Hon'ble Supreme Court directed the immediate stoppage of stone crushers in the Union Territory of Delhi /Faridabad Ballabhgarh Complex, which had no valid licenses from the appropriate authorities . Besides the Central PollutionBoard also stopped some other stone crushers under Section 31A ofAir (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 . As a result almost all the stone crushers of the area had been closed/shifted.

The stone produced by various mining establishments in Faridabad and Ballabhgarh area was required to be crushed in the stone crushers so as to make itcommercially useful as road metal or building stone and make it marketable . Due to closure of stone crushers in the 1448

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10, 2007/PHALGUNA 19 , 1928

areawho were the main users of the stone produced by the mining industry of the area including the various mining operations and production of minerals of these establishment have suffered a crisis causing a serious set back to these mining establishment .

That the closure of crushers resulted in reduction of mining operation and employment because the mines were feeding raw material to the crushers . The respondent management was constrained to take a decision for the retrenchment of its employees including the workman. After complying all the provisions as to laying off and retrenchment , the workman was served with a proper and legal order of retrenchment dated 21-12-1992 in accordance with the provisions of Chapter V - A of the ID Act , 1947 stating to collect the amount of one month's wages in lieu ofnotice period and retrenchment compensation and other dues payable to him as admissible under the Section 25 F of the ID Act, 1947 from the office . As such , pay in lieu of one month's notice and retrenchment compensation has been paid to the workman . Notice has been given in compliance with Section 25 F (C) .

That prior to retrenchment on 21-12-1992 the workman was under lay - off for a period of 21 days during December , 1992 and he was allowed to draw the compensation for lay - off as per the provisions of Section 25(C) of the ID Act, 1947. The workman has been paid the lay-off compensation upto the date of 21-12-1992. However, it is worthwhile here to state that as per proviso of the Section 25 (C) the lay - off compensation of 21 days for the period December, 1992 has been set off against the compensation payable for retrenchment to the workman Shri Chander Pal Singh .

In the aforesaid circumstances the management after going through/ complying with all the provisions of law, has taken a decision for retrenchment and passed order dated 21-12-1992 , in consonance with the provisions of ID Act, 1947.

That the Mewla Maharajpur Mines of the respondent/ management, is an industrial establishment in terms of clause (j ) of Section 2 of Mines Act , 1952 ( 35 of 1952) and a mine is terıned as on " Industrial Establishment " under clause ( ii ) of sub- section 2 of Section 25 A of the ID Act , 1947. It is one of the several or various other establishment * of Haryana Minerals Limited, each establishment being separate and distinct establishment or undertaking as contemplated under the ID Act, 1947. It has employed less than 100 workinen on an average per working day for the preceding 12 month from the date of retrenchment . The services of the workman have been retrenched in compliance of Section 25 F, Chapter V - A of the ID Act, 1947, after complying with all the requirements as contemplated therein . The provisions of Section 25 (N) ofthe ID Act , were not attracted at all . In view of Section .25 Lof the ID Act , 1947 a mine is an industrial establishment

[PART II-SEC . 3 (ii) ] for the purpose of Chapter V- B . As such each mine is a separate and independent establishment .

Thatthe order of retrenchment dated 21-12-1992 is just, legal and valid as the same has been passed in compliance with the provisions of Chapter V- A. Sec . 25 ( F) of ID Act, 1947 which have completely been followed.

That the aforesaid reasons as well the order of retrenchment dated 21-12-1992 has been upheld by the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana in a challenge by some of the workmen who were also retrenched by the same order of retrenchment dated 21-12-1992, vide its order dated 04-02-1994 in Writ Petition No. 2299 of 1993. The Special Leave Petition against the same has been dismissed as withdrawn .

That the claim of the workman is not maintainable and the claimant is estopped from his own act and conduct as the claimant has raised the instant industrial dispute by serving a demand notice after a long period of seven years . The claim of the workman suffers from delay and latches .

That the claimant/workman is doing service/gainfully employed after the retrenchment . That is why he has served the demand notice after a long period of seven years from the date of retrenchment .

It is submitted that the retrenchment order has rightly been passed by the respondent/management in the aforesaid facts and circumstances and the reasons for passing the retrenchment order have been upheld by the Hon'ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana as stated herein above . The order of retrenchment dated 2-12-1992 is just, legal and valid as the same has been passed in compliance with the provisions of Chapter V -A of the ID Act, 1947 . The provisions of Section 25 F have completely been followed. The answering management never terminated the services of the applicant workman on 31-12-1992.

The workman/ claimant was engaged as skilled category workman w.c.f. 11-10-1990 at the mining establishment and was allowed the rate of wages prescribed for skilled category by the Central Government fromtime to time . No terms of appointment were entered into because he was engaged temporarily. It is especially denied thathe was employed against a permanent post . Moreover, the sanctioned strength against which the workman was engaged has since been abolished from the roll of the establishment . It is specifically submitted that the mining establishment of Mewla Maharajpur is no longer with Haryana Minerals Limited w.e.f. 14-08-2001 .

The respondent/ management may be a Public Limited Co. , but as stated herein above each mine is a separate industrial establishment . Even otherwise separate leases are granted by the State Government for each mine and for a specific period . The mine of Mewla Maharajpur where the workman had allegedly been employed by the Manager of that mine and employed for that mine only, had 1449 भारत का राजपत्र: मार्च 10 , 2007/फाल्गुन19 , 1928.

[ भाग II- खण्ड 3(ii) ]

less than 100 workmen on an average per working day for the preceding 12 months from the date of retrenchment. Further it is specifically submitted that the total strength of workmen at all mining establishments of the answering management is less than 100. The rest of the contents are totally irrelevant and wrong hence again denied.

and That the claim statement is totally wrong, irrelevant misconceived in as much as it is alleged that there is anyviolation of ID Act, 1947 and against principle of natural justice. In reply to the rest of the contents , the submissions made herein above in this respect are reiterated and it I again stated at the cost of repetition that the order of retrenchment dated 21-12-1992 is just, legal and valid as the same has been passed in compliance with provisions of Section 25 F of Chapter V-A of the ID Act, 1947.

It is denied that his working was ever satisfactory. The claimant was given the rate of wage prescribed for mining workmen by Ministry of Labour, Government of India revisable from time to time and he was drawing the daily rate ofwage @ Rs . 33.83/day (Rs . 1014.00 only ) at the day of retrenchment in pursuance of Central Government letter No. 95(2)90/ALR dated 25-03-1992 . It is specifically denied that he was drawing the wage of Rs . 1130 per month .

In view of the aforesaid facts and submissions, it is wrong andbaseless to say that the action of the respondent/ management is unjust and illegal and the workman is entitled to reinstatement into service with back wages as alleged. The grounds taken sub paras (a) , (b ), (c) & (d) are totally irrelevant, baseless , factually incorrect and misleading. The same are not sustainable. It is wrong to say that the workman has not been retrenched in compliance of the provisions of the ID Act, 1947. It is further wrong to say that the retrenchment order dated 21-12-1992 amounts to illegal termination of services . The submissions made herein above in this respect may be read as part of the reply to the grounds.

The prayer clause is totally wrong and misleading . The workman is not entitled to have the reference decided in his favour much less with the alleged directions contained in clause (a), (b) & (c) of the prayer. In the aforesaid facts and circumstances and the submissions made herein above , it is most humbly prayed that this Hon'ble Tribunal may graciously be pleased to answer the reference against the workman by rejecting the claim with costs.

The workman applicant has filed rejoinder. In his rejoinder he has reiterated the averments of his claim statement and has denied most of the paras of the written Statement . The management has also denied most of the paras of the claim statement .

The applicant/workman has mislead this Hon'ble Tribunal and has suppressed material facts from this Tribunal . His services were retrenched for sufficient reasons and on valid grounds as stated in preliminary objections taken in paras 1 to 9 of this reply. The order of retrenchment No. HM/E/92/MM . 203 dated 21-12-1992 was passed paying one month's salary in lieu of one month notice period and retrenchment compensation in terms of Section 25 (F) of the ID Act, 1947. It is further pertinent to mention here that with the closure of stone crushers in May, 1992 the mines of Mewla Maharajpur where the applicant was appointed, ceased to produce the minerals/ stone , the applicant was laid off with effect from 26-05-1992 with other workmen and was paid lay - off compensation in terms of Section 25 C of ID Act, 1947. The amount of Rs . 3535.51 was paid on account of lay- off compensation. The said amount of lay - off compensation was set off against the retrenchment compensation payable to the claimant under Section 25 F of the Act. In view of the facts above , the contents of para 6 are again specifically deniedbeing misleading and factually incorrect . The order of retrenchment dated 21-12-1992 passed was just , legal and competent.

Evidence of both the parties has beentaken.

Heard arguments from both the sides and perused the papers on the record.

As stated above the workman was retrenched after complying with all provisions of law and natural justice and the order of retrenchment dated 21-12-1992 is just, legal and valid as the same has been passed in compliance with provisions of Chapter V- A of the ID Act, 1947 .

It was submitted from the side of the workman that the management witness has admitted in his cross examination as under:-

"Notice by registered letter has been sent to the workman but it has been received back. "

"No second notice has been sent to the workman as per record."

"No retrenchment compensation has been paid to the workman. "

"No such letter was issued to the applicant as per the direction of the Government ."

It is wrong and baseless to say that the retrenchment ofthe workman is ex - facie illegal . It is further wrong to say that the worker is entitled to reinstatement into service with consequential benefits as alleged. The retrenchment order has been passed in compliance with the provisions ofSection 25F of the ID Act, 1947. The contention as to the applicability of Section 25 N is totally irrelevant and illogical. The submissions made in reply to paras herein above are reiterated as part of reply to this para. The case of the applicant pertains to retrenchment from the employment in terms of Section 25 F of the ID Act, 1947 .

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: MARCH 10, 2007ZPHALGUNA 19, 1928

"The workman has worked from 19 to 2: 12-1992 . He had worked for more than 240 days . "

Itbecomes quite obvious from perusal of the evidence ofMW1 that the workman has not been paid retrenchment compensation . No letter such as Ex .W6 has been issued to the workman as per direction of the Government . The workman has worked from 9-10-1990 to 21-12-1992 , so he has worked for a period of more than 240 days

It was submitted in such circumstances that retrenchment compensation should have been paid to the workman.

It was submitted that after the retrenchment of the woketen the activities of the management continued to decline on account of decrease in the mining operations of the areas as stated in the reply and affidavit of the management . The period of leases of various mines expired and some of the mines were even taken over by the State Government. The State Government after taking review. deci kal to close down all the activities of Haryana Minerals Limned w.e.f. 30-6-2002 . As such , all the activities of Hana Minerals Limited have actually been closed down .

Dec to closure of stone crushers . the area who were the main users of the stone produced by the mining industry of the area including the varoes mining operations and production of minerals of these establishment have suffered a crisis causing a serious set back to these mining establishment .

it becomes quite obvious from perusal of the dopts ou record that notice was sent to the workman ive retrenchment compensation but it was received baserved . No 2nd notice has been sent to the workman . to

That the closure of the crushers resulted reduction of mining operation and employment because the mines were feeding raw material to the crushers . The pondent/ management was constrained to take adecis for the retrenchment of is employees including the woman.

Itwas submitted from the side of the mangement that the workmau has been retrenched in coneliance of Section 25 F. Chapter V- A of the ID Act. 47 , after complying with all the requirements as commumplated therein. The provisions of Section 25 Nof the IT Act, 1947 were not attracted at all .

tas submitted that the address of the workinan was correct , so notice for receiving retrenchment cone con was not served on him . Only one address wa. ovided , so notice was sent on that address . There need of sending 2nd notice . The workman was rested on 21-12-1992 and in view of the judgment of the 'the Supreme Court an amount of retrenchment coumation was calculated and the workman was sent not by registered post to receive the retrenchment cotisation and one month's pay in lieu of notice but theet address of the workman was not known to the manes.ent , so the nonce was received back .

1451

भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10, 2007/फाल्गुन 19 , 1928

Government is for adjustment of the employees of Government Corporation/Federations retrenched from service between 1-3-2000 to 31-3-2005 . The workman does not come under this category. The workman was retrenched in the year 1992. He made no effort to receive his retrenchment compensation or to raise industrial dispute . The dispute was raised in the year 2001 after a delay of about 8 years . This indicates that the workman was gainfully employed somewhereelse , so he did not take care to raise industrial dispute or to send demand notice to the respondent to consider his case and to declare retrenchment illegal . No action has been taken by the workman for almost 8 years.

Policy of the Government as referred to above is not applicable in his case . Long delay deprives a workman of any relief. No premium can be paid for delay. It has been held by the Hon'ble Supreme Court that long delay impedes the maintenance of the records . Belated claim should not be considered.

Ithasbeenheld in (2001 ) 6 SCC 222 as under :-

"Law does not prescribe any time limit for the appropriate Government to exercise its powers under Section 10 of the Act. It is not that this power can be exercised at any point of time and to revive matters which had since been settled . Power is to be exercised reasonably and in a rational manner. There appears to us to be no rational basis on which the Central Government has exercised powers in this case after a lapse of about seven years of the order dismissing the respondent from service." There is delay of about 8 years and the workman has been retrenched with notice to receive retrenchment compensation. He has failed to receive the same, so there is no flaw on the part of the Government . It was the non- availability of the workman that he has not received the retrenchment compensation meant for him . So he is not entitled to reinstatement in the facts and circumstances of the case .He has not received retrenchment compensation, so he is entitled to an amount of Rs . 25, 000 (Rs . Twenty Five Thousand) by way of compensation which he did not receive in the year 1992. He is not entitled to get any other relief.

The reference is replied thus :--

The action of the management of HML in terminating the service of Shri Chander Pal w.e.f. 31-12-1999 is just and legal . However , the management is directed to pay Rs. 25, 000 (Rs . Twenty Five Thousand Only) by way of compensation which the applicant did not receive in the year 1992 within three months from the date of publication of the award.

Award is given accordingly.

A.A. LAD, PresidingOfficer

The Central Government, Ministry of Labour vide Order No. L- 30012/60/2004- IR ( M) dated 6-9-2005 has [PART II-SEC . 3 (ii) ] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10, 2007 /PHALGUNA 19, 1928

1456

referred the dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication . The schedule mentioned dispute is as follows :-

"Whether the action of the managment of Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd. , Chennai in imposing the punishemnts of ( 1 ) Reduction of two grades from Grade V to Grade III and placing him in the pay scale of Rs . 2400-90-2760-100-3260-110-3920 and fixing his basic pay at Rs . 2,400 with immediate effect and ( 2 ) Recovery of a lump sum amount of Rs. 24,00 towards loss of the Company's property on Sri A. Santhanam and others is legal and justified ? Ifnot to what relief the workman Shri S. Santhanam is entitled to ? "

2. After the receipt of the reference , it was taken on file as I. D. No. 1/2006 and notices were issued to both the parties and they heve entered appearance through their advocates and filed their Claim Statement and Counter Statement respectively.

3. The allegations of the Petitioner in the Claim Statement are briefly as follows :-

difference of 6000 Kg . approximately the loss works out to Rs . 35,000. After receiving his reply , an enquiry was conducted and after the enquiry, it was alleged that the Petitioner has caused financial loss of Rs . 51,000 for LNH VI and for Asphalt property loss of 6000 Kgs . causing loss to the extent of Rs . 35,000 and the charges framed against the Petitioner have been proved . After following the procedure, the Disciplinary Authority has imposed the punishment of reduction in bank and the Petitioner was placed in the pay scale of Rs . 2400-90-2760-100-3260-110-3920 and his basis pay was fixed at Rs . 2400 with immediate effect and the punishment was imposed without prejudice to the right of the company to recover a lumpsum amount of Rs.24,000 towards the loss of company property. As against this , the Petitioner preferred an appeal, but the Appellate Authority rejected the claim of the Petitioner . The enquiry is defective and it was not held in a fair and just manner and no question has been asked as to why the Petitioner should commit this alleged misconduct that too in collusion with others . Secondly, no question has been asked as to why the Petitioner should commit this alleged misconduct , when the Petitioner has promoted the interest of the company in every respect . Further, the punishment imposed on the Petitoner is disproportionate to the trivial , clerical and unintentional mistake supposed to have been committed by the Petitioner. Since the Quantum of punishment is highly disproportionate to the loss supposed to have been suffered by the company, the Petitioner prays to pass an award setting aside the punishment imposed by the Respondent and to restore his grade from III to V with consequential relief of awarding suitable promotion and also compensation of monetary loss .

The Petitioner is employed in the Respondent Company at their factory at Manali, Chennai , from 20-3-85 as a Yardman and he has been confirmed from 21-9-1985. He was transferred to Fir and Safety section of manufacture department of the Respondent during the period from 1-4- 85 to 5-4-85 . He used to participate very actively in sports and games activities of the company and participated in Hockey PSCB inter unit tourncy representing the Respondent company as hockey team captain . Then he has been transferred to invoice cell of Respondent w.e.f. 6-2-95. While he was in the invoice cell he was instructed to print the gross and net weight of the loaded vehicle according to the reading of the weighing machine . There were two computers in the cell one for practice and another one is for active use . Both of them would print the reading ofweighing machine . But the printed matter in the computer meant for practice would be torn and whereas the printed matter containing the reading of the weighing machine available in the computer meant for active use would be sent to Accounts section for making invoices . While he was working in maintenance department , he has received two charge memo dated 9-10-97 and 29-12-97, wherein he was charged that he in collusion with one Mr. Muniswamy have tempered the records and caused loss of property to the company to the extent of 2000 kgs of LN HVI product. Similarly, in the charge sheet dated 9-10-97, it is alleged that he in collusion with Mr. Muniswamy PR No. 2928 and Sri G. Rajasekaran PR No. 3005 torn the actual weighment slip and then fabricated weighment slips for lesser weight based on which the invoices were prepared . On account of this manipulaiton the weight to the extent of 2000 Kg . for truck No. KA 056666 and 1000 Kg . of truck No. TΜΗ 1656 and the approximate loss suffered by the company works out to Rs . 51,000 for ANHVI and for Asphalt, a total

4. As against this, the respondent in its Counter Statement alleged that as this is not an individual dispute but a collective dispute , it is not open to the Petitioner to file Claim Statement as he is not a party to the dispute independently. No doubt , the Petitioner joined the respondent on 21-3-85 as a Yardman and hs was working as shift operator in invocie cell . The Petitioner was doing the work of preparation of weighment slip for the product despatch/material receipt , preparation of invoices and preparing filing orders for product despatch. While so , on 4-2-1997, when the Petitioner was working in the evening shift at around 16.57 hours prepared weighment slip for vchicle KA- 0500666 for production LNHVI to IAL . The said weighment slip shows net weight of the produce as 9030 Kg . Sri Munusamy PR No. 2928 who was working along with the Petitioner in the invoice cell on the same day had prepared a weighment slip earlier to the prepartion ofweighment slip by the Petitioner and the weighment slip prepared by Mr. Munsuamy for the same vehicle shows the net weight of the same production as 11030 Kg . The difference in net weight of the same product prepared by Mr.Munsusamy and the Petitioner is 2000 Kg . The invoice for the said produce was prepared based on the fabricated 1457

[ भाग II- खण्ड 3(ii) ]

act to his employer and further not to involve in such or other like things in future and further, the misconduct of the Petitioner is gravė in nature which cannot be compensated in terms of money.oney. Hence, for all these reasons , Respondent prays that the claim may be dismissed with costs.

5. In these circumstances , the points for my consideration are

(i) "Whether the action of the Respondent/ management in imposing the punishment of degradation of Petitioner from Grade V to III and also recovery of a lumpsum of Rs . 24,000 from the Petitioner towards loss of company's property is legal and justified ?"

(ii) "To what relief the Petitioner is entitled ?"

Point No. 1 :-

6. The point to be decided in this case is whether the imposition of punishment of reduction of two grades from Grade V to III and also recovery of a lumpsum of Rs.24,000 towards the loss of company's property against the Petitioner Mr. A. Santhanam by the Respondent/ management is legal and justified?

7. The case of the Petitioner is that when he was employed under Respondent/Management on 4-2-1997 as Yardman in invoice cell , it was alleged that he has committed some miconduct and further alleged that he had prepared a fabricated weighment slip in collusion with another employee Mr. Munusamy and also tampered with records and caused loss to the company to the extent of 2000 Kg . LNHVI product. Similarly another charge has been framed against him alleging that on the same date , when he was working in evening shift , he , in collusion with Mr. Munusamy and Mr. Rajasekaran had prepared fabricated weighment slips for lesser weight and on account of this manipulation of weight 4000 Kgs . of ASPHALT and 2000 Kgs . of ASPHALT which works out approximately to the total loss of Rs . 35,000 . An enquiry was orderd to be conducted against him and also other employees, in which the Enquiry Officer has held that charges framed against the Petitioner were proved and the Disciplinary Authority imposed the punishment of reduction in rank and also orderd to recover the amount Rs. 24,000 from him, which is disproportionate to the charges framed against him and also illegal .

8. But, as against this the Respondent contended that it is established in the enquiry that the Petitioner in collusionwith other employees have made dishonest action bywhich the company put to loss and therefore , it cannot be said that the imposition of punishment is disproportionate to the charges framed against him.

9. On the side of the Petitioner , five documents namely Ex.W1 to W5 have been marked and on the side of the Respondent/Management 8 documents were filed and weighment slip prepared by the Petitioner for 9030 Kg . Due to fabrication of weighment slip , the Respondent has suffered a loss of 2000 Kgs . of LNHVI product . Since this being a misconduct as per company's certified standing orders, the Petitioner and Mr. Munusamy were charge sheeted and called for their explanation . Since their explanation was not satisfactory, a joint enquiry was orderd on7-11-97 . Later, some more irregularities have been noticed in the activities of invoice cell on 4-2-97. While the Petitioner was in evening shift of 4-2-97, he in collusion with Mr. Munusamy and Mr. G. Rajasekaran PR No. 3005 tore the weighment slip prepared for truck No. TMH 1656 for LNHVI product at 16.46 hrs . At the same time , for the same product and for the same vehicle , Mr. Rajasekaran had prepared another weighment slip for the net weight of 9200 Kg . The original weighment slip shows the net weight for the said vehicle for the said product as 10200 Kg . and the difference between the original and fabricated weighment slip is 1000 Kg . The invoice for the said product wasprepared based on fabricated weighment slip. Similarly, the Petitioner had tore two more weighment slip for the truck No. TSB 2649 and TSD 9099 for the product ASPHALT. This being a misconduct as per standing orders , the Respondent company has taken action against the Petitioner and issued charge sheet dated 29-12-97 . Since Mr. Munusamy and Mr. Rajasekaran involved in the said misconduct , a joint enquiry was conducted against them and the enquiry was conducted in accordance with the principles of natural justice . Though the Petitioner in the enquiry has stated that he had not torn the weighment slip, the management has cooked up the case , in the enquiry every opportunity was given to the Petitioner to defend himself and the enquiry has been conducted in accordance with principles of natural justice and after the enquiry, the Enquiry Officer has given a finding that the charges framed against the Petitioner were proved and the Disciplinary Authority after a careful consideration of the findings of the enquiry Officer decided to impose the punsihment of degradation of Petitioner from Grade V to III and after hearing the representation made by the Petitioner imposed the punishment of degradation and further reserved its right to recover a lump sum of Rs . 24,000 towards loss incurred by the company for the act of the Petitioner. The appeal preferred by the Petitioner was rejected by the Enquiry Officer after due consideration. In the enquiry, the Petitioner was given ample opportunity to defend his case . Though the Petitioner has raised certain questions , these questions should be put to the management witnesses at the time of cross examination, if he had felt it necessary. ThePresentingOfficer can only prove the charges levelled against the Petitioner and cannot expect to deal with other irrelevant as mentioned by the Petitioner. The punishment imposed on the Petitioner is not at all disproportionate to the charges . The punishment imposed on the Petitioner is not only for recovery of loss sustained by the Respondent but also to make the Petitioner to realize about his dishonest [PART II - SEC . 3 (ii) ] THE GAZETTE OF INIDA : MARCH 10,20 PHALGUNA 19. 1928

marked as Ex Ml to M8 and no witness was elamined on either side .

1 .

10. Leamed counsel for the Petition contended that the enquiry itself has not held in a jart and proper manner. It is not established by the Respondent company as to how touch arrount was loss due to the alleged fabrication of voice bill and weighment sly and it is also not establislied before domestic enquiry how the Petitioner has involved in the fabrication of weighment tips and also invoices and they have also not shown thexact amount of loss alleged to have been occurred due to the action of the Petitioner and others . Under such circumstances , it cannot be said that charges have been preted against the Petitioner and it cannot be said that the titioner has fabricated the weighinent slips and mad . loss to the Respondent company.

:

11. But as against this , learned easel for the Respondent contended that the Petitioner dough in his explanation to the charge memo has statori af at the weigh bridge is defective and faulty and he has et committed any miscon- luct, it is not established how the eigh bridge has become faulty. Further, it is not established before the enquiry that weight bridges are in faulty or defective condition. On the other hand , one Mr.Vecrap , dhan , Deputy Manager ( computer service ) was examined clarifying certain queries with regard to computer system in weighbridge and he has clearly stated that during 1997 , when the incident took place , the computer language FOXPROP was used in the system and the weighment system and preparation of invoice was in COL language and he further stated that the said nogra uume is user friendly ami ary mividual who has a bas knowledge about the computer pan able to handlern He also clearly stated that it is a aser- friendly programmetno locking arrangemen as available . He further swed that the present system is based on the programme ORACLE . Developer 2066Km which addition, correctioned alteration is not possible in such circumstances it is clearly established in the enquiry that the Petitior with the connivance of other employees namely A. Munusamy and Mr. Rapasekuran have fabricated the weghment slips and made los to the company to the exicut 3000 kgs of ANHVI and 6000 kgs . of ASPHALT his further argument that all the documents namely invores tampered and also actual weighnents lips were produced before the enquiry and the Petitioner was given full orportunity to cross examine the witnesses and copies of decuments were also supplied to the Petitioner and ader such circumstances , it cannot be said that the.castiry was not conducted in afair and proper manner . Furti .. it is argued onbehalf of the Respondent that no doubt , de Petitioner has raised so many questions in the Claim Statement , but all these questious were not answered befor the domestic enquiry because in the enquiry, the Respudent has to established that the Petitioner has committed the

onduct alleged in the charge sheet , On the other hand , me Pentioner alleged that the management has not proved ewhat reason the Petitioner has committed the misconduct Hot too in collusion with others and he further alleged that arestion was asked as to what the benefit the Petitioner 1. derived out of the loss supposed to have been suffered br the company, it is further alleged that by the company question was put in the enquiry that why should the sitioner commit this alleged misconduct when he has d day and night in order to promote the interest of the mpany in every respect . But these questions are not fessary for the purpose of deciding the issue involved This case. On the other hand, in the domestic enquiry, Respondent / Management has clearly established that Charges framed against the Petitioner that he has involved in the fabrication of weighment slips and also Treated the invoices and thus the management has 12.posed the punishment of reduction in rank . Under such amiances , it cannot be said that this punishment is proportionate to the charges levelled against him nor it be said that the enquiry was not conducted in a just proper manner. Learned counsel for the Respondent ntended that though the Petitioner alleged that Cocuments were not produced before the domestic ity to establish the loss, such of those documents are forming part of the charge nor relied on by the nagement . Under such circumstances , non - supply of documents cannot be said as vitiated the enquiry. He het relied on the ruings reported in 2006 3 SCC 150 NDICATE BANK & ORS VS. VENKATASH GURU RAII wherein the Supreme Court has held that Wherents neither forming part nor relied on by the sturation , in such case , non - supply of documents held e-judicial so us to vitiate the principles of natural lie also relied on the rulings reported in 2005 CHUP STATE TEXTILE CORPORATION LTD . PC CHATURVED ! AND OTHERS , wherein the Arte Court has held that "in the absence of showing alleged non- supply of documents caused prejudice orkman , the same cannot by itself vitiate the enquiry . samed counsel for the Respondent argued that in the the management has produced original weighment for all the three vehicles involved in the incident and isen Chricated weighinent slips for the said vehicles . her, invorce copies and log sheet for the date of incident ee also produced and the copy of the said documents re served on the Petitioner and other delinquent cployees. In the enquiry , the Petitioner was given portunity to defend his case . The Petitioner in the try has stated that he has not torn the weighment and he also stated that the torn weighment slips are poly filed in the log book and was written by the duty supervisor. It is also his defence that his signature is not xed on the weighment slips and the management has Led up the case against him , but it is not established enmity against the Petitioner . Under such [ भाग II- खण्ड 3 ( ii ) ]

भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10 , 2007/फाल्गुन 19 , 1928

1459

12. Then again , learned counsel for the Petitioner contended that due to the action of the Respondent/ Management the loss of the Petitioner is more than the loss to the Respondent company. But , I am not inclined to accept the contention of the Petitioner because the punishment imposed on the Petitioner is not only for recovery of loss sustained by the Respondent but also to make the Petitioner to realize about his dishonest act to his employer and further not to involve in such or other like things in future . Learned counsel for the Respondent contended that since the misconduct of the Petitioner is grave in nature, it cannot be compensated in terms of money and therefore , on no ground , it can be said that the punishment is disproportionate to the charges framed against him, I find much force in the contention of the learned counsel for the Respondent in this regard.

13. Then again, learned counsel for the Petitioner contended that when the Petitioner alleged that weigh bridge was in faulty condition, it is for the Respondent/ Management to established before this Tribunal and it is the duty of the Respondent/Management to establish that the computer and weigh bridge were working properly. On the other hand, they have shifted the burden on the Petitioner and therefore , the findings given by the Enquiry Officer are not proper and the punishment imposed on the basis of the findings of Enquiry Officer is vitiated .

14. Here again , I am not inclined to accept the contentionof the Petitioner because it is only the Petitioner who alleged that computer and weighbridge were defective and faulty. But , the Petitioner has not established his initial burden that weighbridge and computer were in faulty condition . Under such circumstances , it is futile to contend that the Respondent/Management has not established the fact that computer and weighbridge were working in a proper way. Therefore ,from any angle , I am not inclined to accept the contention of the Petitioner that the imposition of punishment namely reduction in rank of the Petitioner and also recovery of amount from the Petitioner is defective or illegal . Under such circumstances , I find this point against the Petitioner.

Point No. 2 :-

The next point to be decided in this case is to what relief the Petitioner is entitled?

15. In view of my foregoing findings , I find the Petitioner is not entitled to any relief as prayed for. No Costs.

16. Thus, the reference is answered accordingly.

Witnesses Examined :--

circumstances , in the enquiry it is clearly established that only during the evening shift while the Petitioner was on duty, these fabrications had been made . It is not established by the Petitioner that the weighment slip was due to the fault either in the computer or in weighbridge . Under such circumstances , the presump- tion is that only the Petitioner and other delinquent employees , who were on duty had made the fabrication and not anybody else . Thus , it is clearly established in the domestic enquiry that the Petitioner was involved in the misconduct alleged by the Respondent/Management and under such circumstances , it cannot be said that the enquiry is vitiated . Learned counsel for the Respondent further contended that though the Petitioner has contended that there is violation of principles of natural justice in the conduct enquiry, he relied onthe rulings reported in 2005 6 SCC 321 CANARA BANK Vs. V. K. AWASTHY, wherein the Supreme Court while considering the question of natural justice and whether the principles of natural justice has been violated in any case has stated that "natural justice is another name for common sense justice . Rules of justice are not codified canons , but they are principles ingrained into conscience ofman. Natural justice is the administration of justice in a common sense liberal way. Justice is based substantially on natural ideals and human values . The administration of justice is to be freed from the narrow and restricted considerations which are usually associated with a formulated law involving linguistic technicalities and grammatical niceties . It is the substance of justice which has to determine its form. The expression ' natural justice' and ' legal justice ' do not present a watertight classification. It is the substance of justice which is to be secured by both and whenever legal justice fails to achieve this solemn purpose , natural justice is called in aid of legal justice . Natural justice relieves legal justice from unnecessary technicality, grammatical pedantry or logical prevarication . It supplics the omissions of a formulated law. No form or procedure should ever be permitted to exclude the presentation of litigant's defence.. Principles of natural justice are those rules which have been laid down by the Courts as being the minimum protection of rights of individual against the arbitrary procedure that may be adopted by a judicial, quasi -judicial and administrative authority while making an order affecting those rights and in that case , the Supreme Court has also held that "interference with the quantum of punishment cannot be a routine matter and punishment of dismissal was proportionate to the misconducts proved and interference therewith was not warranted ." Relying on the said rulings , learned counsel for the Respondent argued that in this case,, it is clearly established in the domestic enquiry that the Petitioner has involved in the misconduct and due to his action loss has occurred to the Respondent company. Under such circumstances , it cannot be said that the punishment imposed on the Petitioner is disproportionate

In this connection, he was some time sent on tour and was paid Rs . 2000 per month as salary. He was removed from service on 5-6-99 through Deputy General Manager (Finance) by a verbal orders without observing provisions of Sec . 25 -F of I.D. Act , 1947. Hence his termination is illegal . Accordingly he may be ordered to be reinstated in service with full back wages .

any details of appointment of having been recruited according to rules . In its absence , it will be taken that the claimant was not given any appointment and that his recruitment was not in accordance with the prescribed recruitment rules . This fact has also been proved by M.W. 1.Thus the hard fact which emerges out is that the claimant was not given any appointment letter for his purported appointment and further his alleged appointment was not according to rules . In the case of Himanshu Kumar Vidyarthi versus State of Bihar 97 (76) FLR 237, it has been held that where appointments are regulated by statutory rules and appointments are not made according to such rules , the disengagement of such employee cannot be construed to be retrenchment under Industrial DisputeAct . The concept of retrenchment, therefore , cannot be stretched to such an extent as to cover these employees .

3. The opposite parties have filed written statement in which they have vehemently denied that the claimant was ever given any appointment by the opposite party no. 2. Their version is that the appointment of clerk is imade according to rules . As there was no need of any clerk in Lucknow office , no process for recruitment of any clerk was done . Hence , question of giving appointment to the claimant does not arise . In fact, a lot of work of open item listing from the customers statement of account, which was sent to location for confirmation of collection details waspending for the period 1987 to 1990. In order to clear thisproject of clearing the arrears of work, the claimant was given a job work. When this work was cleared; no more work was given to the claimant. As the claimant was never appointed by the opposite parties question of his removal from the service and for observing of provision of Section 25 - F I.D. Act did not arise at all .

4. The claimant has filed rejoinder , still the claimant has not clarified as to whether he was given appointment letter or whether he was appointed through due procedure as laid down in the rules . Still he has maintained that he was appointed as a temporary clerk . Further he was denied all the averments made in the written statement .

8. Similar principle was laid down by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in the case of District Cooperative Federation versus Presiding Officer, Labour Court 1998 (78 ) FLR 444. In the case of Pramod Kumar versus State of Bihar it was held that where no appointment letter was isstied such an employee would not be covered by the provisions of Section 25 - F of I.D. Act. In view of this judgment of Apex Court supported by other judgments of Hon'ble High Courts it would become clear that as the claimant was never given any appointment letter and his alleged employmetit was not according to rules and he will not be entitled for benefits of provisions of Industrial Dispute. In view of above as also according to above rulings, the claimant is not entitled for benefit of Section 25-F 1.D. Act . As such reference is liable to be awarded against the claimant on this ground.

5. Insupport of his claim, the claimant has filed 282 papers which are in the nature of payment vouchers and other papers connected with office . The opposite parties bythe first listdated 13-12-2000 have filed Xerox copies of recruitment procedure (non management staff) dated 19-10-81 and Xerox copy of standing orders for marketing establishment of the opposite party . By the second list dated 10-8-01 36 payment vouchers have been filed. Apart from this , the claimant did not adduce any oral evidence whereas opposite parties have examined their officer Sri Rajnish Narang M.W.1 .

6. In this case, 30-11-06 was fixed for evidence of parties .On that date , the claimant remained absent . Hence he was debarred from adducing evidence . Thereafter evidence of M.W. 1 was recorded.

9. On merits too , it has already been seen that the claimant has not adduced any evidence to prove that he was appointed whereas Sri Rajnish Narang M.W. 1 has specifically stated that there are rules for recruitment of clerks . There was no need for clerk at Lucknow Office . Hence no process for recruitment was initiated and the claimant was never appointed as clerk. The payment vouchers filed by the management and the claimant also go to show that the claimant was not paid wages . Instead he was given in the shape of charges for the work done . it lends support to the case of the management that he had never worked as clerk . Instead some job was taken from him. Further he has alleged that he was sent on tour in connection with office work. Certainly, it would have been strong indication that he was given some job but the claimant has not adduced any evidence to show that he was ever given travelling allowance as given to an employee . Further had the claimant been actually employed he would have recorded his presence in the attendance register of the office .

10. After the review of above evidence and circumstances and that the evidence of the opposite party 7. At this stage it will be relevant to refer to recruitment policy of 1981. It lays down that clerks are to be recruited through a committee of three persons after inviting names from employment exchange . Thereafter, appointment letter is issued by the General Manager of the opposite party . In fact, the officer at Lucknow has no power to make any appointment of any clerk. In spite of objection having been raised, the claimant did not give

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10 , 2007/PHALGUNA 19, 1928

is unrebutted tribunal has no hesitation in accepting the version of the opposite party and disbelieving the version ofthe claimant .

11. Accordingly it is held that the claimant on facts was never given any appointment letter , much less , according to rules . As such question of, retrenchment of the claimant does not arise . There was no occasion to observe the provisions of Section 25 -F of I.D. Act, 1947 .

12. For the reasons recorded above , it is held that the action of the management in terminating the services of the workman is legal and just and the workman is not entitled for any relief as claimed by him . Reference is , therefore , answered accordingly against the workman and infavour of the management .

The oppositeparty has also argued that in the year 1979 Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited was not in existence and the salary as mentioned in appointment letter is Rs . 800 per month . The representative of the opposite partyhas aruged that in the year 1979 even the salary of class II officers was not Rs . 800/- per month what to say of gardner. This fact indicates that this document has been prepared somewhere in 2000 after the year 2000. The fabricated of this appointment letter forgot that in the year 1979 the amount of Rs . 800 per month is very high as it is more than the salary of Head Clerk of Central Government department . The representative of the opposite party has also argued that whenever any person as peon or gardener has appointment letter a specific scale is mentioned in respect of the appointment . But there is no such mention inthe appointment letter of the worker .

office ofGeneral Manager Dehradun/Rishikesh was created on8-8-97 and thereafter on 1-10-2000 Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. came into existence . He has also very specifically stated that in 1979 there was the office of उपमंडल Adhikari , Telegraph in Rishikesh which was under the Srinagar/ Garhwal Division and not under Dehradun as the worker intends to make out . Sri Yashwant Singh has also stated that in the year 1980 the office of उपमंडल Adhikari was in a small retnted room whercin there was no work for any gardner . He has also categorically stated that there is no post of gardner with the opposite party. Sri Yashwant Singh also stated that Ram Sanjeevan has never worked as permanent or temporary gardner . He has also stated that Ram Sanjeevan has never worked in the guest house as the worker has tried to say . At the end Sri Yashwant Singh stated that in Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited the worker's arc appointed as per the rules and regulations of the Government.

The representative of the opposite party has also argued that by the orderdt. 30-3-85 the office of the Director General , Post and Telegraph , New Delhi stopped the engagement of Casual Labour for any type of work . The representative of the opposite party has relied on the document 11/2 , 11/3 and 11/4.

The worker, although stated in his affidavit that he was appointed on 1-1-80 but in the cross examination he has stated that he got the appointment in the year 1981. He has further clarified " 1981 में जब मै नौकरी में आया तब रुपया 300/- (तीन सौ ) मिलता था । " this proves that the so called appointment ictter is not genuine one . Further he has stated in his cross examination . " मैं ऋषिकेश में देहरादून रोड पर S.D.O. Office में नौकरी करता था उसी में S.D.O. के रहने के लिये कमरा मिला था । एक बीघा जमीन थी उसमें garden बना था S.D.O. कार्यालय में माली का पद है । "

The opposite party.has filed the document 14/3 which is photo copy of certificate purported signed by Asstt. General Manager ( Admn . ) by the General Manager T.D. , Dehradun which shows that the Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. was incorporated on 1-10-2000 , the said certificate is reproduced below:

Sri Ram Sanjeevan was confronted to his document paper A5/4. Since the document was the photo copy the worker was asked as to where is the original . Sri Ram Sanjeevan replied " मैं पढ़ा लिखा नहीं हूं मैं नहीं बता सकता कि यह कौन सा कागज है । "

TO WHO IT MAY CONCERN

It is certified that office of the General Manager, Telecom District, Dehradun came to existence w.e.f. 8-8-97 at Dehradun and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited has been corporated on 1-10-2000.

Sd./- The representative of the opposite party has argued that the worker has tried to make use of forged paper to gain services in Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited . Opposite party has also argued that Ram Sanjeevan belongs to Amethi Tehsil. Sultanpur and he was living alongwith his father and to get the employment in Rishikesh worker has gave false affidavit and statement in the court.

Asstt. General Manager (Admn. )

O/% GMTD, Dehradun

The representative of the opposite party has also citedone ofthe letter of the department to show that letters are issued by mentioning file number .

From the evidence on the record I come to the conclusion that worker is miserably failed to prove that he was appointed as gardner at the salary of Rs . 800 /- by letter dt. 23-12-79. The paper A5 /4 appears to be non - existent. In the entire story of the worker is not trustworthy . I also come to the conclusion that since Ram Sanjeevan was not appointed as he stated nor he was terminated as he has tried to allege. The issue is therefore decided against the worker and I also come to the conclusion that the worker is not entitled to any relief . Award passed accordingly .

Ram Sanjeevan admitted that prior to the office located at Dehradun Road SDO office was located at the distance of one km . in the rented accommodation which was 3 story . Ram Sanjeevan stated that he got the appointment letter by post but he has not filed any envelop ofpost office to show the said letter was received by him. Onthe other hand the opposite party has filed the affidavit ofDivisional Engineer Sri Yashwant Singh who has stated that Ram Sanjeevan was never appointed as gardner and the appointment letter is frivolous and the same was not issued by his office . The said officer has also stated by affidavit that in 1980 there was no office of General Manager . Telecom in Dehradun/Rishikesh. In the circumstances such appointment letter could not have been issued by the General Manager . Telecom , Dehradun/ Rishikesh . Sri Yashwant Singh has also stated that the 29-1-2007

In fact he worked to the utmost satisfaction ofthe Branch Manager of the Malegaon branch . He worked continuous for more than four years . His services were required by first party. Even Bank was in need of service of the second party. However , higher officers of the Malegaon Branch is not sanctioning the post and permitting the Branch to fill it at its own responsibility. It find difficult for the second party to secure recruitment and posting to the first party's branch. The nature of work is of permanent type for which needs the person to work on it . But to give go by to the claim of the second party , he was taken on daily wages and was not posted on regular basis . So it is prayed that, first party be directed to regularise second party atMalegaon Branch or treat 2nd party as a employee offirst party treating as its regular employee .

3. This prayer is disputed by first party saying that, second party was never appointed by first party . There was no appointment order issued by first party. Employer- Employee relationship does not exist between first party and second party . And unless and until second party established that he is employee of first party, he carinot raise dispute. Even so called dispute raised cannot come withinthe purview of Section 2 (k) read with Section 2A of the Industrial Disputes Act . Second party was available at the door step of Malegaon Branch . He was attending work as and when Malegaon Branch Manager was calling him . The payment of work was given that time only . He is not on record ofthe employment of the first party . He was not recruited by the first party. Since he attended said work in his personal capacity cannot claim permanency . So it is : Mr. A.N. Namjoshi , Advocate 1466

As per order below.

REASONS issue nos . 1 & 1A

was not at all done by second party or it does not require to attend. On the contrary Bank witness Kapadnis admits that 1200 sq. ft . space is cleaned daily by engaging employee for that purpose . Even number of vouchers which arc produced by second party which is at Ex - 13 page 1 to 7 reveals that payment was made to second party regarding of that work . All these show that, first party has vacancy of Sweeper- cum-Cleaner. Nobody is working there . Said work of cleaning is perennial type of work and without that Bank cannot function . It may be that first party is doing it with the help of second party by engaging him on daily wages . It does not mean that , Malegaon Branch does not require permanent hand on that post . The case brought on record by first party that , since there was no approval or there was a ban on recruitment , they adopted this type of method. That means by that first party has given encouragement in adopting contract labour system which against the labour jurisprudence. Beside point of not taking interview will not come in the way of work of this type as it doesnot require any skill to clean the premises .Here cutire stand of the first party is that since there was a ban on recruitment second party cannot be recruited and he cannot claim permanency. One cannot ignore that, work of cleaning and sweeping in Malegaon Branch is perennial type of work and if that work is got done by such type of method, then it required to considerdifferently than what is consideredby the first party. The period of work done by second partydefinitely reveals that he worked for more thau 240 days and by that , he established employer employee relationship . So I answer these issues in the affirmative .

Issues 2 to 4

4. Second party claim that, he worked with first party for more than 240 days . He claims status of employee of first party. Besides , he claims that, work of cleaning on which he worked is a perennial work and nobody is posted by first party . Whereas case of the first party is that , he was not appointed on that post and was available at the very doorstep of the Malegaon Branch which he accepted in his personal capacity and so not entitled to claim any protection.

5. Second party has examined himself at Ex-26 where as first party has examined two witnesses i.e. witness by name Hemant Panditrao Ex - 32 and Kapadnis at Ex-34.

6. Second party in the evidence state that he worked for 240 days and was doing work with first party as per direction of Malegaon Br. Manager . He was attending work from8 am to 6 pm and his payment was made on voucher. In the cross he admits that he did not receive appoinment order from first party nor was interviewed and selectedby the panel to work with first party. Whereas Bank's witnesses state that, second party worked on daily wages and he is not the employee of the first party still they admits that nobody is posted on the post of sweeper /Cleaner with Malegaon Branch and said work got done by second party workman.

7. From this evidence it is crystal clear that , second partyworked from 1995 till 1997 and that fact is not disputed by first party even it is matter of record that . Malegaon Branch has 1200 sq. feet area which is not small one . Definitely to clean it , work of some body required . It is not the case of first party that work of sweeping and cleaning

8. It is matter of record that, without giving notice the service of the second party are stopped. No reason is assigned as to why first party discontinued second party. It may be that since second party was not appointed by first party or employce of first party as per its understanding , it may not have found it necessary to follow provisions of Industrial Disputes Act like giving notice pay and taking legal action against second party. Here what happened, the way in which they engaged second party in the same way they prevented second party for recruiting on duty without following any procedure. However the work done by second party with first party for more than 240 days and looking to the perennial nature ofwork with first party reveals that he has lien over that post and must be treated as employee of first party. While asking such employee not to report on employment of first party, it ought to have taken precautions as per the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act . Admittedly no such precautions are taken by first party. Admittedly notice under Section 25 F is not given . Besides salary of one month in lieu ofnotice is not given. These legal formalities are not followed by the first party. When those are not followed definitely one has to conclude that, termination of second 1467 भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10, 2007/फाल्गुन 19 , 1928

New Delhi , the 12th February, 2007 partyby not taking him in the employment is nothing but a termination without following due process of law. Here what happen , second party was taken by backdoor entry. His services were utilized by first party. Even copy of letter produced by second party of Branch Manager dated 10-1-1997 reveals that , Malegaon Branch is in need ofhand onthe post of sweeper at Malegaon . By the said letter, the character and sincereness of the second party is projected. It reveals that, he was honest and in need work. But all the while the story of first party is that, there is ban in recruitment and that is why they are unable to accommodate second party. In my considered view, the work available with first party at Malegaon Branch of sweeping and cleaning which is perennial nature of work definitely require permanent hand on that post . Unfortunately in the instant case , no person is working on that post though it is perennial type of work. Just liberty is given to Malegaon Branch Manager to utilize person like this which will reflect in encouraging the harassment given to the human who work on such a post without giving protection. So in my considered view only because there is no sanction given by the superior authority and when work is there on which hand required, I am of the view that, such a attitude must be stopped there and there only and employment must be regularised to enable such a workman to get security and protection so that he cannot be humiliated by the employer like this .

The Advocate for first party has cited number of judgements with his submissions . As far as citation published at page 537 is concerned, is on different footing i. e. on count of the work done by the workman . Citation published in 1992 II CLR page 647, Citation published in 1997 II CLR SC page 15 and Citation published in 2000 II CLR HC Delhi Page 314 though reveals that, first party being statutory body is bound to adhere with the rules of recruitment, still it cannot be said that, it is exempted in following the rules of recruitment . Same view can be expressed regarding copy of order filed while deciding Civil Appeal by Karnataka HC as that judgement is on terms of appointment . In the instant case, there is no appointment and entry was given to second party is nothing but back door entry just to humilitate him which cannot be encouraged by protecting act of the first party under guise that second party was not appointed by regular appointment .

The Central Government in the Ministry of Labour vide its Order No. L- 12012/424/96 /IR ( B - II ) dated 24-11-97 has referred the following industrial dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication :

"Whether the action of the management of PNB in not giving the halting allowance , overtime , special allowance and additional leave in lieu of holidays to Sh. Suresh Chandra , Peon- cum- Chowkidar w.e.f. 23-11-81 to 29-12-82 is just fair and legal ? If not, to what relief he is entitled and from what date ?"

2.Vide corrigendum dated 24-10-2000 the reference was ordered to be amended as under :-

"Whether the action of the management of Punjab National Bank in not giving Halting Allowance, Overtime and Additional Leave in licu ofholidays to Shri Suresh Chandra, Peon-cum- Chowkidar for the service rendered during the period from 22-10-79 to 22-11-81 and Special Allowance w.e. f 23-11-81 to 29-12-82 is just fair and legal ? If not to what relief he is entitled and from what date ?"

5. On merits workman claimed guard allowance for the period 23-11-81 to 29-12-82 pleading that he was only Chowkidar at the said Rolling Mill . The relevant provisions governing the Special allowance are given in para 5.5, 5.6 and 5.9 of the Bipartite Settlement and according to the said provisions workman is not entitled to the said allowance claimed . It is averred that the workman was transferred to Meerut Branch from the said Mill on his own request and accordingly he was designated as Peon as per requirement ofthe Bank . He joined the Branch on 23-11-81 and therefrom he was not required to perform duty of chowkidar . Hence in view of para 9 of the Bipartite Settlement special allowance of chowkidar was not payable . After that he was designated as Peon-cum-Cash Peon as was evident from branch letter dated 29-11-82 and he was paid an allowance of cash peon of Rs . 20 PMfrom the period during 1992 in terms of para 5.5 of Bipartite Settlement . His designation was further changed to Peon- cum- Daftari w.c.f. 8-2-1983 from which date he was paid higher allowance of daftry Rs . 40 PM w.e.f. 8-2-83 . The Manager of the Branch vide letter dated 30-6-83 confirmed that the Chowkidar allowance was paid to Suresh Chandra upto 22-7-81 . He was also paid sleeping allowance of Rs . 15 PM during his posting at said Rolling Mill in terms ofpara 14.3 (a) of Bipartite Settlement . In terms of Bipartite Settlement Halting Allowance became payable when employee is required to travel while on duty to out stations for performance of work entrusted to him. Workman was never required to travel on duty but was permanently posted at the said mill where he used to stay round the clock . As such he is not entitled to halting allowance as he was getting the other allowance in lieu of his services and extra hours , in terms of para 14.3 ( a) of the Bipartite Settlement . Workman has claimed overtime w.c.f. 22-10-79 to 22-11-81 for the period he was posted at M/s . PSM Rolling Steel Mills . The relevant provision governing in respect of grant of overtime allowance are contained in para 14.3 (a), 14.3(b) and Section 1.3 which are reproduced as under :-

14.3 ( a) : "The provisions regarding hours of work and overtime shall not apply to godown- keepers and godown watchmen who are similarly excluded by the labour appellate Tribunal in paragraphs 194 and 195 of its decision dated 28-4-1954 . Such workman shall be paid an ' Other allowance ' of Rs . 25 per month , if he is a godown - keeper and Rs . 15 per month , if he is a godown - watchman ." 3. In response to the notices the claimant Punjab National Bank Staff Association U.P. preferred the claim statement through its Secretary Shri Suresh Kumar stating therein that the claimant Suresh Chandra was appointed as Peon- cum -Water man by erstwhile Hindustan Commercial Bank Ltd. And was asked to by the management of Branch OfficeMeerut on 22-10-89 to work as P. S. M. Steel Mills, Partapur and take charge from previous Peon Sri Nasrendra Kumar Sharma , and had been on duty since 22-10-79 to 22-1-81 at par . The aforesaid godown was located outside the municipal limit of Meerut as per notification issued by Meerut Municipal Board, Meerut at the relevant time and as such the opposite party stopped paying Guard Allowance from 23-11-81 to 29-12-82 , though he was made permanent chowkidar from 22-10-79 to 22-11-81 . That the aforesaid godown was located outside the municipal limit ofMeerut as per notification issued by Meerut Municipal Board, Meerut at the relevant time and as such the opposite party Bank was bound to pay halting allowance , besides other claim of special allowance , as referred above and overtime for taking work beyond prescribed 8 hours each day. It is further stated that weekly off after working 6 days in a week and intervening holidays were not given to him and no additional leaves were given to him, in lieu thereof. Conciliation efforts failed before the Assistant Labour Commissioner Dehradun which resulted in present dispute. Workman has claimed halting allowance as well as special Allowance.

14.3 (b): At places where an increment governing working hours and overtime of godown - keepers and godown -watchmen shall be governed by the provisions of such enactment and the ' Other Allowance ' mentioned in sub- clause ( a ) of this Clause shall not be payable to them .

Besides in the State of Uttar Pradesh , the U.P. Dukan Aur Vanijya Adhishthan Adhiniyam, 1962 is in operation. The relevant provisions of the said Act are also appended.

4. The management contested the above reference filing written statement raising preliminary objections that the dispute has not been properly espoused under the I. D. Act and as such no valid dispute can be said to have arisert in the cycs of law and claim is liable to be rejected as 1469 भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10, 2007/फाल्गुन 19 , 1928

special allowance wants to give up the work or duties which entitle him to the special allowance , he shall if his request is granted, cease to draw the special allowance.

Section 1(3 ) "The provisions of this Act referred to in Schedule- I shall , in the areas mentioned in the said Schedule , apply to the extent specified therein and the State Government may from time to time , direct, by notification in the Gazette, that all or any of the provisions ofthis Act shall also apply in relation to such areas and to such extent as may be specified in the notification."

It is further stated that in Schedule - I Meerut Municipal and Cantt . Areas have been covered and in terms of U.P. Government Notification , dated 16-11-1981 Partapur came under Municipal Limits only w.e.f. 16-11-1981 . It is also apparent that the Government did not issue any notification under Section 1(3) .

6. According to the management respondent the relevant paras governing his service conditions applicable to his service conditions and governing the grant of above allowance are contained in para 5.5, 5.6 and 5.9 of the Bipartite Settlement which are reproduced as under :

7. It is also relevant to mention here that in supersessions of para 5.287 of the Desai Award, where a workman falls within more than one category , he shall , be entitledto receive the special allowance of the highest rate applicable to him , provided however, that special allowance( s) for educational qualifications , if any, shall be payable in addition to any other special allowance to which he may be entitled. According to the Tribunal Award dated 28-4-81 vide para 194 and 195 as ruled out that the provisions contained in para 14.3 are not applicable to the GodownKeeper and Watchman and they are thus excluded by said decision . Such Workman shall be/ are entitled to other allowance ofRs . 25 PM if he is godown keeper and if he is a godown watchman . Thus according to these provisions the claimant being godown keeper is entitled to Rs . 15 by way of allowance .

8.Workman filed replication reiterating his claim and denying controverted pleas in the written statement.

"5.5 In supersession of paragraph 5.287 of the Desai Award, where a workman falls within more than one category he shall, be entitled to receive the special allowance at the highest rate applicable to him, provided however, that special allowance (s) for educational qualifications , if any , shall be payable in addition to any other special allowance to which he maybe entitled.

5.6 The special allowance prescribed above are intended to compensate a workman for performance ordischarge of certain additional duties and functions requiring greater skill or responsibility, over and above the routine duties and functions of a workman in the same cadre . In order to be entitled to a special allowance , such additional duties and functions should constitute the normal part of the duties and functions performed or discharged by a workman. Special allowances are not intended to be paid for casual or occasional performance or discharge of such duties /functions . It would, however , not be necessary that workman should continue to perform such duties or discharge such functions , whole time , in order to be entitled to such allowance .

5.9 A workman will be entitled to a special allowance only so long as he is in charge of such work or the performance of such duties which attract such allowance . Whether a workman can be asked to cease to do such work or discharge such duties and consequently cease to draw such allowance , will depend upon the terms of his employment. For instance a workman who is employed permanently as a Head Clerk or Stenographer cannot be deprived of his special allowance by asking him to work as an ordinary clerk or asking him not to work as a Head Clerk or Stenographer . If, however , a recipient of a

9. In order to determine the question in reference relevant provisions are contained in para 14.3( a ) mentioned above . According to the said provisions the workman is not entitled to overtime allowance and halting allowance but it is an admitted fact that workman was appointed as Peon-cum-Chowkidar vide his appointment letter dated 5-5-78 Ex . PW1 /5. Workman was appointed as Peon-cum- Waterman and he was posted'as Guard at Partapur and discharged duty of Guard during the period w.e.f. 23-11-81 to 29-12-82 for which period he is claiming the various allowances , overtime , halting allowance and special allowance and additional leave in lieu of holidays during the said period and has also done overtime but the management states that in view of the provisions contained in para 5.5 and 5.6 of the Bipartite Settlement . Workman hasbeenpaid special allowance of Rs . 25 PM and he is not entitled to any other allowance claimed by him. The workman was admittedly appointed as Guard at Partapur during the said relevant period and performed the duty of Guard as such to my mind he is entitled to the salary/ wages payable to a Guard . His claim cannot be denied by paying him a special allowance , in view of para 5.6 of the Bipartite Settlement . These provisions are applicable if a man is posted at a place and he is asked to do additional duties such as a Guard but the said provisions cannot be made applicable to a person who has been posted as Guard and he discharged duty of a Guard. Admittedly during the relevant period he was appointed as a Guard and discharged the duties as Guard at Partapur and as such he is entitledto the wages /salary payable to the Guard and his claim defeated simply by giving him special allowance . It is made clearthat a person appointed on a particular post is entitled to the salary /payable to the post, wages payable befeating 61842107-8 1470

5. On the basis of above it has been pleaded by the workman that the opposite party without providing him any opportunity of reemployment in the bank have made the above appointments on regular and permanent basis which is absolutely against the mandate as provided under Section 25H of Industrial Disputes Act 1947 , read with rules 78 of I.D. ( Central ) Rules 1957. Apart from the above appointments , opposite party has also appointed Badrey Alam on 31-5-99 , at bank's Dhantulsi branch in Distt . Varanasi and Sri Mohd. Zakir at Bank's Barki branch in District Varanasi on 3-7-99 even ignoring the legitimate claim of the workman for providing him an opportunity of his reemployment in the services of the bank treating the workman to be a retrenched employee of the opposite party bank . From the above fact and from the conduct of the Dy . General Manager of the opposite party bank hard fact which emerges out is that there were regular and permanent vacancies of the post of peon in District Varanasi at Bank's various branches , but the management of opposite party with a view to deprive the workman from attaining permanent status deliberately and with malafide intention did not appointed the workman as peon by providing him an opportunity for facing regular selection process for the post peon and thus the workman has been denied with an opportunity of reemployment in breach of provisions of Sec . 25 - H of Indutrial Disputes Act, 1947 . The opposite party apart from utilising the services of the workman as peon has not paid him the regular wages payable to an employee of the category to which the workman belongs . The workman is thus entitled for difference of wages for the period he remained in the services of the bank, i.e. 3-3-95 to 27-5-96 .

6. The employees of banking industries are not holder Civil Post therefore they can not be said to be ' Public Servent' as comparable to Government Employees . It has been pleaded by the workman that having regard to this aspect of the matter the appointment of the workman or his engagement in the service of the bank even in the absence of any appointment letter as also oral termination can not be held to be illegal or void because his appointment for all practical purposes and also for the purposes of the case under I. D. Act , would be deemed to be legal and valid mainly for the reasons that the Deputy General Manager

1471

भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10 , 2007/फाल्गुन19, 1928

intentionally did not resort the regular selection procedure with malafide intention and that as the Dy. General Manager is the competent authority in law it will be presumed that it relaxed the recruitment rules in the case of the workman . Lastly it has been alleged that the entire action as referred toby the Ministry in respect of the opposite party is highly arbitrary, discriminatory, illegal and abinitio void and contrary to the provisions of Article 14, 16 , 21 of the Constitution of India .

7. On the basis of above it has been prayed that the workman is entitled to be reinstated in the services of the bank at the post from which he was removed illegally w.e.f. 28-5-96 with difference offull wages and wages paid to him together with seniority and all consequential benefits payable to the workman under service regulations .

8. Opposite party bank has filed an exhaustive written statement denying vehemently the allegations of the workman, interalia, on the grounds that the present dispute is not a valid industrial dispute in as much as it has not been espoused by a substantial number of workers ; that there exists no relationship of employer and employee between the bank and the workman ; that that bank never appointed the workman in his employment ; that the workman never went under selection process for his appointment in the bank ; that this tribunal has no jurisdiction to adjudicated the present dispute which is devoid ofmarit; that bank never committed branch of unfair labour practice; that the persons named by the workman in para 10 of his statement of claims alleged to be appointed by thebank are the personal drivers that since the workman was never appointed nor terminated by the bank question ofcomplying with the relevant provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, in the facts and circumstances of the case does not arise at all. In the end it has been prayed that the claim ofthe workman be rejected being devoid of merit holding that the workman is not entitled for any relief.

9. It may be pointed out that after exchange of pleadings between the parties the workman filed documentary evidence and also examined himself as W.W.1 before the tribunal in support of his claim , whereas , the opposite party bank after availing repeated opportunities granted by the tribunal on 7-3-06, 29-5-06, 27-7-06, 13-10-06,6-12-06 which was allowed on payment of cost of Rs . 100 by tribunal , fixing 20-12-06 for the evidence of opposite party . Management opposite party on 20-12-06 moved adjournment application on the ground that the witness is not available , the said application of the management was rejected by the tribunal on the ground that there is no sufficient ground for granting adjournment as this was the 7th adjournment and the case was fixed for parties arguments on 12-1-07 and ultimately final argumants in the case were heard on 18-1-07 . In this way it is quite clear that the management has palpably failed in adducing their evidence before the tribunal after availing a number of opportunities granted by this tribunal . Thus apparently 1472

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: MARCH 10, 2007/ PHALGUNA 19 , 1928

[PART II-SEC . 3 ( ii) ) there is no evidence lead by the opposite party bank in support of their pleadings . It is settled principle of law that plain pleadings in the absence of evidence carries noweight in the eye of law and on the basis of the same it can not be held that the opposite party has been able to substantiate his claim before the tribunal .

14. Even otherwise if it is presumed that a workman has been able to prove his case evern then no relief can be granted to him in view of law laid down by Hon'ble Supreme Court in the leading case Uma Devi Vs. Union of India wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court has clearly observed that the daily rated casual employee cannot be granted any relief unless he is duly selected against any sanctioned post after undergoing through selection process .

15. Admittedly according to the own case of the workman, he was engaged on daily rate basis fromtime to time by the opposite party bank to cater the need on day to daybasis of casual work . The law cited above fully applies in the case of workman and thus it is held that the workman was a daily rated casual labour having no relationship of employer and employce between the bank and him.

10. The workman appeared as w.w.1 before this tribunal and stated on oath that he was appointed at bank's Bisheshwarganj branch of the bank at Varansi on 3-3-95 from where he was transferred to bank's Rathyatra branch where he worked for about 8 or 9 months continously and he was paid Rs . 25 per day as wages . He was removed from his services w.c.f. 28-5-96 by the opposite party bank. Witness admitted that he worked during the banking hours . He was not paid any notice pay or retrenchment compensation at the time of termination of his services . After his removal Badrey Alam a new hand was appointed athis place.

16. Having concluded that there existed no relationship of employer and employee between the opposite party bank and so called workman, the so called workman can not be granted the relief of reinstatement as he has held to be not protected under the provisions of I. D. Act .

17. In the end it is held that workman has palpably failed to establish relationship of employer and employce in his case , therefore , he can not be granted any relief of reinstatement as has been claimed by him in the present reference .

11. In his examination in chief the workman has further stated that his name was sponsored by the employment exchange for his appointment. He was never issued any appointment letter in the year 1995. He was also not issued any termination letter of transfer order transferring his services from Bisheshwarganj branch to Rathyatra branch of the opposite party bank . Payments were made through vouchers on which bank used to obtain his signatures .

18. Accordingly refer the answer against the workman and in favour of the opposite party bank .

12. In his cross examination , the claimant has expressed his ignorance about the period of his working . He has further admitted that he has not been issued any appointment letter by the opposite party. He was not issued any transfer letter . He has clearly admitted the fact that he was being paid his wages through vouchers after obtaining his signatures on the reverse of vouchers . Lastly he has clearly admitted that he has not in the know of the fact as to whether or not he was ever appointed in the services of bank.

13. On the basis of above evidence of workman , it will be seen as to whether the workman has been able to prove relationship of employer and employce between the bank and the claimant as is pleaded by the opposite party bank . It is settled position of law that heavy burden lies on the head of workman to prove his claim. From the cross examination of the workman it is quite clear that he has not been able to establish the fact that there was ever any existence of relationship of employer and employce between the bank and the workman especially when he had clearly admitted the fact in his cross examination that he is not in the know of the fact that there ever existed any relationship ofemployer and employee between the bank and him.

AWARD

3. Opposite party filed reply in which it has been pleaded that the workman discharged his duties in most negligent manner due to which forged and fake drafts were paid and the bank suffered serious loss . Workman was issued charge sheet dated 20-1-87 and inquiry officer was appointed by the disciplinary authority to conduct inquiry against the employee concern . Enquiry conduct during various dates between 29-7-87 to 31-5-93 and that full and fair opporutunity was given to the charged officer to prove his innocence but he failed to do so and charge was partly proved. It has been admitted by the management that the enquiry officer found that charge Nos . 1 and 2 as not proved and charge No. 3 as proved. The charged officer fully participated in the inquiry and produced documentary as well as oral evidence in his defence and cross examined the management witnesses before the inquiry . Workman was supplied with the copy of inquiry finding by the disciplinary authority and he submitted his submissions and after considering the memorandum the employee was awarded the impugned punishment by the disciplinary authority. There is nothing illegality in the action of the management which does not call for any interference at the hands of this Hon'ble Tribunal . Lastly it is prayed that the case of the workman is devoid of merit and is liable to be rejected.

1. Central Government, vide notification No. L- 12011/63/99/IR-(B -II) dated 26-8-99 and vide corrigendum dated 12-2-01 and 1-6-01 through Ministry of Labour , New Delhi, has refered the following dispute for adjudication to this tribunal :-

4. After exchange of pleadings between the parties oral as well as documentary evidence have been lead by the contesting parties in support of their respective claims and counter claims .

5. Tribunal heard the arguments of the parties at length and have also perused the record of the case carefully.

"Whether the action of the management of Central Bank of India to impose the punishment of reduction of pay to the next lower stage for a period of two years w.e.f 29-7-93 upon Sri J M Mishra , Special Assistant is legal & justified ? Whether extending the period of next increment for two years without express punishment order is legal and justified ? If not to what relief the worknan is entitled ייף

6. During the course of arguments it has been conceaded by the workman that he is not challenging the procedure adopted by the inquiry officer rather his main challenge is that the charge sheet is wholly illegal and non- est in the eye of law in as much as he was not given adquate opportunity to reply the same and that the management appointed inquiry officer in the charge- sheet itself without considering his explanation which is against the provisions of para 19.1 of first bipartite settlement the service conditions applicable to him. Secondly it has been argued by the workman that when inquiry officer found a few charges as proved and few as not proved there was not necessity for providing opportunity to the workman to explain his stand on the charges which were found as not proved by the inquiry officer and that the inquiry officer while proving charge No. 2 instead of acting as inquiry officer has discharged his role like witness for arriving at his conclusion as is evident from the inquiry finding itself, thus the inquiry finding is perverse and no punishment can be awarded to him on the basis of perverse finding .

7. As against it the management's representative could not be able to counter the arguments of the workman satisfactorily.

2. The case of the workman in short is that while he was posted at bank's Meston Road Branch, Kanpur, he was served with a charge sheet No. RO /PRS/DAD/55/215 dated 20-1-87 . After completion of departmental inquiry against the delinquent official the inquiry officer submitted his finding dated 17-6-93 wherein the inquiry officer held charge Nos . 1 and 2 not proved . However inquiry officer proved the charge (ii) . It has been pleaded by the workman that in view of above the presenting officer should test the charge through his witnesses etc. and should have proved the charge which he did not do . The disciplinary authority after considering the finding of the inquiry officer awarded punishment as mentioned in the schedule of reference order . It has been pleaded that the said punishment has been awarded upon the workman without proper application of mind and without affording due opportunity of his defence . Thus the entire inquiry proceedings together with the final order is against all canons of rules of natural justice which is liable to be set aside and the workman is entitled to be exhonerated from the allegations of misconduct .

con..anderations . How he is concerned with his actions done before the CID officers and if at all he had re - examined the drafts in the presence of CID officials that could not be made part of inquiry finding for arriving at a conclusion that the charge against the concerned workman stands proved . From this point the inquiry finding cannot be susteired in the eye of law by this tribunal which is held to be perverse and out side the scope of material and evidence available before the inquiry officer during the course of inquiry . Finding is also held to be illegal and abinitio void. As the punishment has been awarded on the basis of perverse findings by the disciplinary authority upon the workenan , the same stands set aside being wholly illegal abin void and against rules of natural justice as well as ruks governing the service conditions of the workman.

8. Tribunal considered the rival argumens of the contesting partics anxiously in the light of the settled legal position of law that no one should be condemned unheard. From the chargeshcet itself it is very much clear that the disciplinary authority even without obtaining explanation from the delinquent employee have decided to conduct inquiry and appointed inquiry officer in the charge sheet . This procedure adopted by the disciplinary authority appears not to be in consonance with the settled legal position of law. If it is so the tribunal is bound to hold that the charge sheet issued to the workman is wholly illegal and nonest in the eye of law and any punish - awarded by the disciplinary authorityto the workman cannot be sustained in the cyc of law . It is accordingly held that the charge sheet dated 20-1-87 is illegal and inoperative in the eye of law and as the punishment is based upon illegal charge sheet the same cannot be allowed to alive in the eye of law and is hereby set aside .

8A . Even otherwise on merit of the case a bare perusal of inquiry finding would go to show that the inquiry officer acted as a witness against the workman while recording findings on charges which gocs as under-

10. Lastly it is held that the action of the management as iudicated in the schedule of reference order is set aside and the workman would be deemed as if he had never been awar led any punishment by the disciplinary authority entitling werkman for his with held increments . Accordingly management is directed to make payment of arrears of was withheld on account if illegal punishment within a period of 30 days from the date of publication of award failing which the workmau shall be further held entitled to pendente läte and future interest at the rate of 12 % per annen trom the date from which the amount has been with held the opposite party.

The CSE has stated in his reply dated 5-7-83 that the drafts passed by him, were prepared in grecoloured DD Books leaves in accordance to the Cenu Office guidelines The MEx 14 ( i ) also refers the colors of DDs with amount limitation and the coluser for the DDs above Rs . 5000 to be the Green Colour . Neither CSE nor the P ) could bring material eviden to prove their versions of Statements . The management representative did not get the colour facies of the DDs questioned and confirmed on the day the original dratts were produced for examination by the CSE/ CSO / DR but have suated n . written briefs that he did raise the issue . His such actions is not appreciated . However during the course of re- examination of the drafts by the undersigned in the office of CID officials , the colour of DDs was found to be bluc . Since the number of drafts presented on both the dates were very small number / seven and eight, hence the discrepency in coler could have beer castly detected and the difference in the colour could have broughtdoubts in the needs and extra precautionention if could have been taken , the payment of the drafts could have been stopped. The negligence of Mr. Misra on this count is proved.

9. From the underline portion of the findings of inquiry officer as above it is quite obivious that the inquiry officer has imported his personal knowledge while arriving at his conclusion instead of examining the material evidence available on the record of inquiry . This approach or the inquiry officer is highly deprecated which is certainly against the rules of domestic inquiry. Inquiry officer under no circumstances can be supposed to draw inference for arriving at some conclusion in his report on ctreneous

In this connection , your reference is drawn to DO , Mysore letters dated 29-3-1996, 19-4-1996.25-6-1996, 27-12-1997.31-1-1998 , 27-2-1998 and 2622 /DOM/ PAC/477/ ss dated 27-2-1998 , wherein your absence for the above period has been treated as unauthorized.

[PART II-SEC . 3 ( ii) ] Your above action of absenting from duties without leave and continuing to be irregular amountsto misconducts . Your total unauthorized absence comes to 1077 days till now .

You are, therefore , charged with the commission of Gross Misconduct of " habitual doing of an act with amounts of minor misconducts of ' absence without Icave' and ' irregular attendance ' vide clause No. 19.5( f) of the Bipartite settlement .

You are required to submit your explanation if any, to this charge sheet within 15 days of its receipt . " 3. There being no explanation offered by the first party to the charge sheet , a DE was ordered against him and on the basis of the enquiry findings holding him guilty of the charges, he was offered an opportunity of personal hearing, participated by him and after having appreciated the findings of the enquiry officer , proposed the punishment of dismissal and dismissed him from service by impugned punishment order dated 3-5-1999 . Appeal preferred by the first party also came to be dismissed vide order dated 23-8-1999 and thereupon , he raised the dispute with the Conciliation Officer resulting into the present reference .

4 The first party workman by way of his Claim Statement , challenged the enquiry proceedings on the ground that they suffered from violation of principles of natural justice being conducted against him ex parte and that enquiry findings holding him guilty of the charges suffered from perversity and that the order passed against him is unjust, arbitrary and illegal . He also submitted that penalty of dismissal is unwarranted and shockingly disproportionate .

5. Whereas , the management by its Counter Statement refuting the above said allegations of the first party contended that enquiry conducted against the first party was in accordance with the principles of natural justice as the first party remained absent and failed to participate in the enquiry proceedings despite notice of enquiry etc. The management also contended that the charge of misconduct of the first party remaining absent from duty unauthorisedly as an ' habitual absentee ' has been proved during the course of enquiry by sufficient and legal evidence and he has been dismissed from service with impugned punishment order afffording him opportunity of personal hearing .

6. Keeping in view the respective contentions of the parties , with regard to the validity and fairness or otherwise of the enquiry proceedings, this tribunal on 21-9-2004 framed the following Preliminary Issue .

"Whether the Domestic Enquiry conducted against the first party by the second party is fair and proper ?" 1477 भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10, 2007/फाल्गुन 19 , 1928

[ भाग II- खण्ड 3 ( ii) ]

by MW1 , the appellate authority took a lenient view and reduced the punishment and had reinstated him into service .

7. During the course of trial of the said issue, the , management filed affidavit evidence of enquiry officer and got marked four documents at Ex . M1 to M4 namely, the chargesheet, notice of enquiry, proceedings of enquiry and the enquiry report respectively. No evidence was led on behalf of the first party.

The above documents and the deposition of MW1 together with his answers to my questions have clearlybrought out the habitual absence of Shri B.N. Shivaiah, which has disrupted the functioning of the branch and affected the customer service .

In view of the foregoing, I have no hesitation in holding that, the charge leveled against Shri B.N. Shivaiah of the commission ofgross misconduct of "habitual doing of an act with amounts of minor misconduct of 'Absence without leave and irregular attendance' vide clause No. 19.5 (f) of the Bipartite Settlement, as proved. "

8. After having heard the learned counsels for the respective parties, this Tribunal by order dated 20-4-2006 recorded a finding on the said issue to the effect that the enquiry conducted against the first party by the Second Party is fair and proper . On 29-9-2006, when the matter was taken up for arguments on merits , Shri Ramesh for Shri V.S. Naik representing the First Party workman submitted that he has no arguments to advance. Learned counsel for the Second Party remained absent and for his argument case was adjourned on 29-12-2006. Once again he remained absent and therefore arguments were taken as heard and case is posted this day for award.

9.Now, therefore, in the light of the findings recorded by this Tribunal holding that the domestic held against the First Party is fair and proper , two questions arise for consideration as to whether the enquiry findings suffered from perversity and whether the order of dismissal passed against the First Party was disproportionate to the gravity ofthe misconduct committed by him .

10. As noted above , learned counsel for the First Party advanced no arguments either on the point of perversity of the findings or on the point of quantum ofthe punishment . However, in order to give findings on the aforesaid two points , it appears to me necessary to go through the findings of the enquiry officer and the evidence brought on record during the course of enquiry . Learned enquiry officer while discussing the oral evidence of management witness and the documents produceed by the management during the course of enquiry marked at Ex. MEX- 1 to MEX- 13, recorded his reasonings on page 4 of the report under the heading "Analysis of Evidence & Findings" as under :

Analysis of Evidence & Findings

From the documents MEX - 1 to MEX- 11 , it is established that, the CSE's absence on the days mentioned therein has been treated as unauthorized. MEX - 12 establishes the fact that the said chargesheet was issued to the CSE for his absence of107 days on various dates between 20-4-1992 and 6-1-1994 . The same document also testifies that earlier 3 charge sheets were issued to him for his misconducts of irregular attnedance and absence without leave . The management has brought on record that Shri Shivaiah, despite his assurance during the personal hearing on 31-10-1994 against the repetition of such lapses in future and inspite of the fact that, he was visited with the punishment of dismissal has not reformed himself, when, as deposed

11. Therefore , from the reading of the aforesaid reasonings given by the learned enquiry officer by way of his findings , if becomes crystal clear that the first party remained absent from duty unauthorisedly without applying for leave or after sanction of the leave as prescribed under the service rules framed by the management. The contention of the First Party in his Claim Statement at Para - 1 to the effect that he gave reasons for his absence from duty during the course of personal hearing conducted against him and that he remained absent fromduty on account of his ill health and submitted medical certificate to that effect has not been established by the FirstParty by producing any sort of evidence either oral or documentary during the couse of enquiry or before this Tribunal . He after having appeard before the enquiry officer on one sitting remained absent thereafter compelling the enquiry officer to proceed with the enqiury ex parte . Before this Tribunal also he has not stepped into the witness box when the question of validity of the enquiry proceedings was taken up and tried by this tribunal . From the statement ofMW 1 before the enquiry officer , it is very much evident that the first party has remained absent from duty without obtaining any leave much less after sanction of leave in his favour. Therefore, the reasonings given by the enquiry officer with regard to the charge leveled against the First Party that he remained absent from duty for a period of 251 days in between 4-3-1996 and 19-1-1998 are well supported by the oral and documentary evidence produced by the management . Learned enquiry officer has also taken into account and considered the oral and documentary evidence pressed into service on behalf of the management in establishing the charge of habitual absence from duty by the First Party . The First Party as per the chargesheet , earlier to the chargesheet on hand was chargesheeted on four occasions for his unauthorized absence . As per the chargesheet dated 13-2-1990, he was imposed punishment of stoppage of one increment for six months as per the proceedings dated 8-6-1990 . As per the chargesheet dated 4-9-1991 , once again he was punished with ' warning' vide 61842107-9 1478

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10 , 2007 /PHALGUNA 19, 1928

order dated 10-10-1991 . As per the chargesheet dated 30-12-1991 , he was punished by proceedings dated 29-9- 1992by stoppage of one increment for six mothes . As per the chargesheet dated 22-2-1994 , he was awarded punishment of dismissal from serivce vide proceedings dated 22-2-1994 and on appeal dismissal order was modified reducing his two increments with cumulative effect . The first party in his Claim Statement has never disputed the fact of his remaining unauthorisedly absent from duty on the aforesaid four occasions and being awarded with the punishments as indicated above . As noted above , with regard to the chargesheet on hand though he took up the contention that his absence was supported by leave applications and medical certificates , no scrap of paper was produced by him atleast before this Tribunal nor he came forward with any oral evidenc to suggest that he had applied for leave supported by medical certificates or that he was suffering from any disease preventing him from attending the duties during the period mentioned in the charge sheet . Therefore , charges of misconduct against the first party have been very much proved by sufficient and legal evidence and by no stretch of imagination it can be said that findings of the enquiry officer suffered from perversity.

12. Now, coming to the question of quantum of the punishment . The first party as per the chargesheet has committed gross misconduct of " habitual doing of an act amounting to minor misconducts and also committing the misconducts of remaining absent from duty unauthorisedly " . It is on record that the First Party has been in the service of the management for about a period of 23 years and except the charge of misconduct of unauthorised absence there was no other misconduct committed by the First Party involving the moral turpitude . In the result, it appears to me that ends of justice will be met if the impugned order of punishment dismissing him from service is replaced with the order of termination ofhis services with effect from the date of impugned dismissed order . Hened the tollowing award:

AWARD

The order of dismissal passed against the first party is hereby modified by way of order of termination of his services . No costs .

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10, 2007/PHALGUNA 19, 1928

[PART II-SEC . 3 ( ii ) ] ofnatural justice and that the findings of the enquiry officer holding him guilty of the charges suffered frore perversity and that the order of disınissal passed against him was unjust and illegal and therefore , he was entitled to reinstate in service with all consequential benefits .

seek ajob. He further stated that he was eligible toOfficer Postby way of promotion when he was served with the charge sheet . He stated that he joined the services of the management as a Clerk on 10-4-1966 and was promoted as a Special Assistant in the year 1975 and served about 10 piaces from the date of his appointment both in Karnataka and Maharashtra and that his past record is unblemished. In cross examination he denied to have worked in HDFC, Kolhapur as a Collection Agent . He denied the suggestion that his past record was not good and he was not living with his brother after he was dismissed from service . Thereupon , I heard the learned counsels for the respective parties on merits and posted the matter for award .

2

8. Learned Counsel , Shri S. Ramesh for Shri V. S. Naik representing for the first party vehemently argued that the first party has been in the service of the management bank for the period about 30 years with unblemished service records and served at about 12 different places without giving any room of complaint to the management and inviting any complaint that he did not report for duty to the places he was transferred or that he remained absent from duty for no good reasons . He contended that as far as the delay in raising the dispute is concerned, the Appellate Authoritytook two years to dispose off the appeal preferred by the first party against the order of dismissal and thereupon , he approached the Hon'ble High Court and his WritPetition was disposed in the year 2001 on the ground that he had alternate remedy and it is thereupon he raised the dispute with the Conciliation Officer resulting in to the present reference . Lastly, he submitted that the first party had already attained his age of superannuation in the year 2003 itself and therefore , he may be paid salary arrears from the date of his dismissal till the date he attained the age of superannuation.

5. The management by its Counter Statement however , challenged the aforesaid allegations of the first party on all the three counts and asserted that enquiry proceedings were conducted against him affording fair and reasonable opportunity to attend and participate in the enquiry proceedings . He infact attended the proceedings taking the help of Defence Representative by name Shri M.R. Achar, the State Secretary of Syndicate Bank Employees Union and during the course of enquiry when the management witness was examined and documents were marked, the first party as well as the DR submitted that they do not wish to contest the case and that the first party wanted to make oral submission and accordingly , his oral submission was recorded and thereafter learned enquiry officer submitted his findings holding the workman guilty ofthe charges . The first party was given opportunity to make his subraission over the enquiry report and there being no response from him the Disciplinary Authority proposed the punishment of dismissal affording opportunity of personal hearing to the first party which hearing was attended by the first party himself as well as his above said DR and thereupon , the punishment of dismissal proposed against him was confirmed and his appeal against the dismissal order also was dismissedby the Appellate Authority by giving cogent and valid reasonings applying his mind. In the result , the management contended that the enquiry was in accordance with the principles of natural justice , findings were based upon sufficient and legal evidence and the order of dismissal passed against the first party was just and legal keeping in view the gravity of the misconduct committed by the first party.

9. Whereas , Icarned Counsel for the management Shri Ramesh Upadhaya in his arguments supported the findings of the enquiry officer and submitted that they are very much supported by valid and cogent reasonings , in turn, supported by sufficient and legal evidence brought during the course of enquiry, that too , not questioned and controvertedby the first party and his DR on the ground that he did not wish to contest the case . He submitted that as far as punishment of dismissal is concerned, it was very much proportionate and justified keeping in view the gravity ofthe misconduct committed by the first party.

6. Having regard to the contentions of the respective parties about the validity and fairness or otherwise of the enquiry proceedings , a question whether the DE conducted against the first party by the Second party is fair and proper was taken in the first instance . During the course of trial of the said issue , the management examined the enquiry officer as MW1 and got marked 4 documents at Ex. M1 toM4. The first party examined himself without getting marked any document .

7. After having heard the learned counsels for the respective parties , this tribunal by order dated 6-2-2005 recorded a finding on the above said issue to the effect thatthe DE conducted against the first party by the Second party is fair and proper. Thereupon , once again the first party examined himself on the point of gainful employment and in his examination chief stated that he has not been employed or gainfully employed anywhere after being dismissed from service , despite making several attempts to

10. After having gone through the records , more particularly, the oral and documentary evidence pressed into service by the management during the course of enquiry and the very defence taken by the first party with regard to his absence from duty and the fact that he did not report duty at the transferred place , I find no substance in the arguments advanced for the first party as far as proof of miscondeut levelled against him . The facts undisputed arc thatthe first party while was serving at Akol Branch of the management bank , was transferred to Chikkodi branch by 1481 [भाग II- खण्ड 3( ii) ]

भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10, 2007/फाल्गुन 19, 1928

Regarding Issue No.(1)

order dated 21st January, 1997 and since he was absenting from duties at Akol branch from 29-1-1997 he was relieved from the said branch in absentia to enable him to join duty at Chikkodi branch. It is not in dispute that the first party did not report duty at Chikkodi branch till he was served with the charge sheet in question . It is not in dispute that the Divisional Office , Belgaum by telegram dated 9-2-1997 advised the first party to report duty at Chikkodi Branch without delay and was further advised so by sending the letter dated 12-3-1997 . He was also informed that his absence from duty from 29-1-1997 has been treated as unauthorized absence and his request for modification of transfer order was not considered once again advising him to report for duty at Chikkodi branch without further delay .. It is therefore, not disputed that the first party remained absent from duty from 29-1-1997 onwards and failed to report for duty at Chikkodi Branch despite the orders issued by the divisional office advising him to report for duty at Chikkodi branch and that his request for modification of transfer order was not considered . These undisputed facts have been once again reiterated by way of deposition of the management witness during the course of enquiry with the help of documents at Ex . MEX - 1 to MEX - 16 . As could be read from the enquiry findings as well as enquiry proceedings , the first party who participated in the enquiry proceedings taking the assistance of DR did not choose to contest or challenge the oral statement of MW1 and the aforesaid documentary evidence . Therefore , based upon the oral testimony of MW1 and the documents produced by the management speaking to the fact of unauthorized absence of the first party and his disobedience to report forduty at the transferred place, the learned enquiry officer recorded his reasonings and held the first party guilty of the charges . Learned enquiry officer on page 6 onwards of his enquiry report under the heading " Analysis of Evidence and Findings " recorded his reasonings as under :

The documents produced in the enquiry having relevance to the issue are MEX 1 to MEX 7. It has been brought on record by the evidence of MW1 that the CSE was working as Special Assistant at our Akol Branch and he was transferred to Chikodi branch vide transfer order dated 21-1-1997 . The documents MEX 2 and MEX3 identified by MW1 show that the CSE was relieved from Akol branch on 15-2-1997 in absentia . MW 1 deposed that the relieving order was sent to the residential address of the CSE under registered AD and that the same was returned by the Postal Department for the reason " not found on two attends and also not claimed " MW1 identified MEX 4, the returned registered cover with AD Card. He also identified MEX 5 to show that a copy of relieving order was also sent to the residential address of the CSE under certificate of posting . On the basis of MEX6 , MW1 deposed that vide the said letter DO , Belgaum informed the CSE about his non joining at Chikodi branch on transfer/ relieve from Akol branch and advised him to report for duty at Chikodi branch immediately submitting his explanation for not reporting to duties and remaining absent from 29-1-1997.1 find from the documents produced before the enquiry that the CSE had made a representation to the management requesting for modification of transfer to Nipani branch and the management has not considered his said request and advised him to join duty at Chikodi branch immediately as communicated to him through MEX7. It has come on record in the enquiry that he has not reported for duty at Chikodi branch inspite of clear instructions of the management and thus disobeyed the lawful and reasonable orders of the management . Since his representation for modification of transfer was not considered by the management, the CSE should have reported for duty at Chikodi branch and made further representations , if any thereafter . Hence the issue No. 1 is answered positively.

ANALYSIS OF EVIDENCE AND FINDINGS

The Management has produced one witness and 16 documents marked MEX 1 to MEX 16 and no documents/ witness/es have produced on behalf of the CSE .

The CSE has made a request to me to place his above oral submissions before the Disciplinary Authority . Accordingly I am placing the same before the Disciplinary Authority for his consideration .

Regarding Issue No. 2:

The documents produced in the enquiry having relevance to the issue are MEX - 8 to MEX 12 .

I have carefully perused/evaluated the evidence tendered by MW1 and the documents produced by the management and the oral submissions made by the CSE before the enquiry .

As per the charge sheet dated 15-10-1997 the issues to be decided are as under :

1.Whether Shri Jaynath G. Joshi disobeyed the lawful and reasonable orders of the management and committed gross misconduct within the meaning of clause No. 19.5 (e) ofthe Bipartite Settlement .

It has come on record from the evidence of MWI that the CSE was absenting from duties at Akol branch since 29-1-1997 and he was relieved to Chikodi branch on 15-2-1997 in absentia . On the basis of MEX 8 , MW1 deposed that DO Belgaum the competent leave sanctioning authority informed the CSE about treating of his absence from 29-1-1997 to 30-4-1997 (92 days ) as unauthorized. The documents MEX 9 to 12 identified by MW1 show that DO Belgaum has informed the CSE that his absence from 1-5-1997 to 31-5-1997, 1-6-1997 to 30-6-1997, 1-7-1997 to 2. Whether he committed minor misconduct of "absence without leave " in terms of clause No. 19.7 (a) of theBipartite Settlement .

1482

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA MARCH 10 , 2007 /PHALGUNA 19, 1928

[PART II-SEC . 3 ( ii ) ] 31-7-1997 and 1-8-1997 to 31-8-1997 have been treated as unauthorized by them with consequent cut in Wages . MW1 deposed that by his above acts the CSE committed minor misconduct of absence without leave . The above evidence of MWI has gone on records of the enquiry anrebutted since the defence has not cross examined MW1 on this . The CSE in his oral submissions submitted that the second charge against him i.c. minor misconduct of absence without leave under clause No. 19.7 ( a) of the BPS is a consequence of the first charge and thus it cannot be called as unauthorised absence ; that he is appealing to the DA through the EC to drop the charges against him taking into consideration his past 30 years of service and treat his absence during these period as Extra Ordinary Leave on loss of pay . Since issue No.1 has been answered positively and it has come on record that the competent leave sanctioning authority has already treated his absence for the period as unauthorized , I answer this issue also positively . The oral submissions of the CSE this issue is placed before the DA for this consideration .

In view of the foregoing . I conclude that charges levelled against Shri Jayanth G. Joshi vide the ci: arge sheet dated 15-10-1997 is proved / established in the enquiry.

his findigs as no such defence was taken by the first party winle seeking modification of transfer order making a request to transfer him at Nipani Branch . This stand of the first party in remaining absent from duty and not reporting for duty at Chikkodi Branch also cannot be considered to be vahd and reasonable as under the service conditions he we anrenable to transfer to any of the branch of the management bank and his contention that he should not have been transferred beyond the distance of 25 Kms was nt in consonance with the service rules of the management bank . As far as the charge of unauthorized absence is concerned the first party went taking different stand at different places. In his claim statement he comes to say that at the time when he was transferred he was on casual leave and he fell sick and reported his sickness to the margement on medical ground sending medical certificate along with the letter . In the very same para of the claim statement he came with the different version to say that thenquiry officer did not consider his defence that on acs cunt of the sad demise of his father he did not attend thetaqairy or did not attend the duty and that he attended duty monediately after the death of his father . At the subquent para of the clain statement , he contended that it was specific case that hus absence from duty was due to becalide reasons and be kept the management informed alks the requirements of the Icave . It is not his case that hermed absent from duty after having applied for leave DESAS leave was sanctioned to him before he proceeded on inve or during the period he was absent from duty till A served with the charge sheet . Therefore , charge agst the first party that he remained absent from duty wird sanciton of leave much less applying for leave on any round also has been very much established against thest party. In the result, by no stretch of imagination it cas said that the misconduct has not been proved against the first party and the findings of the enquiry suffered from any perversity. These findings , as noted above, have been supported by sufficient and legal exid so also the very stand taken by the first party, in tus supported by cogent and valid reasonings given by the unqury officer . Therefore , it is to be held that charges of conduct as levelled against the charge sheet has beer moved against the first party. offi

17. Now, coming to the question of quantum of the pument . It is not in dispute that the first party had been is the service of the management for about a period of 3 years as on the date he was served with the charge sheet and during the said tenure he served at 12 different places without inviting any complaint against his services and conduct during the course of his service . Therefore , keepong in view the aforesaid facts and also taking into conation the fact that he had already attained the age of superannuation in the year 2003 itself, it appears to me that onds of justice will be met if the order or dismissal passed against him is converted into the order of 11. Therefore , from the reading of the aforesaid reasonings rather the findings of the enquiry officer, it becomes crystal clear that the first party not orey failedto report for duty at Chikodi branch on the transfer order dated 21-1-1997 but alsoremamed absent froa duty right from 29-1-1997 all he was served with the chart sheet on hand . It can be way well gathered from the finfings that the first party was sent with a telegramdated 193-1997 by Divisional Offer belgatum advising him to repeat for duty at Chikodi branch vide Ex . MEX - 6 and as per 2.MEX - 7 (letter) he was intoumed that his request for trasfer to the Nipani branch has not been considered and he stall report duty at Chikodi branch immediately submitting atisfactory explanation . It is clear from the statement of MW1 that inspite of the above clear instructions , the first party did not report for duty atChikodi branch and thereby disobeyed the reasonable and lawful orders of the management . From the further state nicht of MW1 , it is again estainished that the first party is not applied for any leave ordemained absent from day after sanction of the leave on any reasonable much less on medical ground or say other ground. In his oral submission before the enquiry officer what he stated was that he has been suddenly branferred Chikkodi Branch and relieved in absentia and since Chikkodi is beyond 25 Kms of Distance from Abol branch , he cannot be transferred to a place beyond the distance of 25 Kms and therefore , he was forced to stay away from Akol Branch and therefore , it cannot be said that he commited gross misconduct of willful insubordantion or disobedience of lawful and reasonable orders of the management . This oral submission of the first party was rightly not considered by the enquiry officer whale giving भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10 , 2007/फाल्गुन 19 , 1928

SCHEDULE

"Whether the management of Vijaya Bank is justified in terminating/ discontinuing Shri Siddalinga Swamy from the services is legal and justified ? If not, what relief he is entitled to ? " 2. The first party workman by his claim statement contended that he joined the services of the management bank in the year 1985 as temporary Peon and worked at Besagarahalli Branch, Maddur Taluk, Mandya District till the year 1986 in which year he worked for 84 days . In the year 1988 the management issued a circular dated 19-9-1988 calling for the applications from the Peons who worked for 90 days or more during the period between 1-1-1983 and 30-1-1988 for being considered as regular employee for the post of Peons in the Bank . As per the circular one should have qualification of pass in the 7th Standard and above , but below SSLC and should be in between the age of 18 to 26 years ; that as per the said circular the first party was eligible to be considered for the postof permanent peon; that the first party was designated asPermanent Peon and he worked continuously for a period of240 days in every completed year of service and therefore, his services should not have been discontinued arbitrarily by way of victimization; that the first party worked as temporary peon at Karadihalli branch , Devalapur branch and Kanthapura branch up till 12-9-2000 and when he was working at Karadihalli branch his services were terminated. Therefore, first party contended that the order terminating his services amount to retrenchment and was in violation of the provisions of Section 25F of the ID Act and therefore he is entitled to be reinstated in service with all consequential benefits .

3. The case of the management in the Counter Statement filed by it on the other hand is that the first party was engaged by the management bank as a temporary peon for a period of 84 days during the year 1985-86 at Besagarahalli Branch and he worked for about a period of 115 days during the year 1985-86 at Kowdle branch and worked totally for a period of 643 days during 1995-1997 . He worked Devalapur branch for a period of 74 days during 1998, for a period of 65 days during 1998 at Kanthapura branch and for a period of 75 days at Karadahali branch . during the year 2000; that based on the aforesaid circular , the first party submitted his application mentioning his date of birth as 18-8-1958 and therefore , he was above 26 years of age on the date of his initial engagement as a temporary peon . Therefore , he was not considered for empanelment as per the above said circular dated 1484

were marked at Ex . W1 to W5 respectively ( ought to have been marked at Ex. W2 to W6) . In his cross examination it was elicited that he joined the services of Besagarahalli Branch in the year 1984 as a temporary worker without any appointment order in writing . He had given his application to bring his came on panel of temporary peons as per the circular of the year 1988 and in his application he gave his date of birth as 18-8-1958 vide Ex . M2 ( a) in Ex . M2 . He admitted that he was not working in any of the branch of the management as on the date he submitted his application atEx . M2 ( submitted in the year 1997) . It was elicited that he was not aware of the application being rejected by the management on the ground of overage . He admitted that he did not work with any branch from 1986 to 1995 and he worked with Karadahalli Branch of the management from 21-8-1995 to 31-8-1998 . 11 was further elicited that from 1-9-1997 he has not worked with any branch of the management Bank and that he had given another application to the bank on 28-6-2000 as per Ex. M6 seeking the job and on his application he was again taken into service at Karadarahalli Branch where he worked for 24 days fought to have been 75 days ) in the year 2000. He denied the suggestion that in no calendar year he worked continuously for a period of 240 days and more. 19-8-1988 . Thereupon, certain representations were made by the Vijaya Barnk Employces Federation on behalf ofthe firstparty stating that he had worked for a period of more than 90 days between 1985-1988 but his name was not empanelled and as per the aforesaid representations made from timeto time the relief asked for by the union was for absorption of services of the first party as permanent employee . Similar was the relief asked for by the union during the Conciliation Proceedings but the reference was made to his tribunal with regardto the alleged illegal termination of services of the first party and therefore , the reference itself is bad not based upon the point in controversy between the parties . The management further contended that the first party was engaged intermittently as a temporary peon at different branches of the bank since 1985 and the request made on his behalf by the Union for absorption of his services was not considered as he was not eligible as per the guidelines mentioned in the above said circular incorporated into the Bipartite Settlement thereafter . The management contended that as per the very case of the Union the first party has not worked in any branch during the year 1999 and he did not work for a period of 240 davs during the period of 12 calendar months preceding the date with reference to which calculation has to be made . Therefore , in short the contention of the management was that in no calendar year the first party work for a period of 240 days and more and therefore , there was no question of any retrenchment as defined under Section 2 ( oo ) of the ID Act or violation of the provisions ofSection 25F of the ID Act . In the result , the management requested this tribunal to reject the reference .

4. During the course of trial , the management examined one Mr. K. Venkappa Rai , said to be working as Branch Manager , Karadahalli and in his affidavit he just repeated the various contentions taken by the management in the Counter statement . In his further examination chief he stated that the first party worked for 75 days from July to September 2000 on contract basis and did not work for 240 days in any calendar year continuously . Then he got marked 12 documents at Ex . M1 to M12 on behalf of the management . In his cross examination nothing worth was elicited so as to shake the testimony of MWI on the averments made by him in his affidavit . in turn supporting the contentions taken by the management in the counter Statement . However , in his cross examination the first party produced Xerox copies of 23 monthly statements marked atEx . W1 Series and a suggestion was made to MW1 that as per the said statement the first party has worked continuously for 240 days and more in a particular calendar year. This suggestion was denied by MW1 .

Learned counsel for the management shri HSH argued that as per the very admissions made by the first party , he has not worked for a period of 240 days and more in any calendar year immediately preceding the date of his, alleged termination . He submitted that though the first party was in the service of the management bank at different branches from the year 1985 onwards intermittently , he never worked continuously for a period of 240 days and more in any calendar year . He contended that undisputedly , the first partydid not work with the management bank from 1997 onwards and he worked only for a period of 75 days in the year 2000 being engaged by the management bank on his fresh application at Ex. M6 and therefore , question of any retrenchment as defined under Section 2 (00) of the ID Act or violation of Section 25F of the ID Act does not arise . He contended that infact as per the dispute raised by the first party union before the conciliation officer , the relief asked for was absorption of his services in the light of the aforesaid circular of the year 1988 on the ground that he completed service of 90 days in between the year 1983 1988 and whereas , the dispute which has been referredto this tribunal by way of reference is one of illegal termination . He submitted that the request of the first party and his unionto put him on panel as per the above said circular could not be considered, he being ineligible as he was above the age of 26 years on the date he was initially engaged by the management as a temporary peon which fact also has been admitted by the first party himself in his cross examination .

5. As a rebuttal , the first party workman filed his affidavit evidence by way of examination chief and in his further examination chief produced 5 documents namely, the original pass book , two certificates , quarterly statements and attendance register Xerox copies which

7. Whereas , learned Counsel for the first party Shri BDK vehemently argued that between the years 1485 भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10 , 2007/फाल्गुन 19, 1928

[भाग II-खण्ड 3( ii) ]

1995-1997 the first party has been in continuous service of the management bank with different branches and has worked for a period of 240 days and more in each calendar year , he took support of the above said 23 monthly statements marked before this tribunal at Ex . W1 series and the documents at Ex. W2 to W6 already referred to supra in this regard . He submitted that though the first party worked only for a period of 75 days during the year 2000 before his services were terminated , the services rendered by him during the period from 1995 to 1997 could not have been ignored and since have been ignored and his services have been terminated , it is a clear cut case of retrenchment as defined under Section 2 (oo) of the ID Act and in the result, it is a case of illegal termination there being no compliance of Section 25F of the ID Act . Learned Counsel for the first party did not argue on the point as to whether his application for the purpose of empanelment to a regular post was not considered by the management in contravention of the guidelines given in the aforesaid circular. of the year 1988 .

2000. Therefore , there is no dispute on the fact that the first party never worked with any of the branch of the management bank from 1-9-1997 till he resumed his job a fresh with the management bank in the year 2000 and worked with the above said Karadahalli Branch of the management bank only for a period of 75 days . This fact further has been proved by the management by producing the three monthly bills marked before this tribunal at Ex. M8to Ex. M10. As per Ex. M8 the first party worked for the month ofJuly 2000, as per Ex . M9 he worked for the month of August 2000, each for 30 days and then he worked only for 13 days in the month of September 2000 as per Ex . M10. This position on the facts infact has not been Challenged .' and disputed by the learned counsel or the first party during the course of his arguments but his submission was to the effect that when the first party worked for a period of 240 days and more in each calendar year in between 1995 and 1997 which fact has not been disputed by the management, then he is entitled to the benefits of Section 2 (oo) read with Section 25F of the ID Act, it being a case of retrenchment and illegal termination. I am not inclined to accept his above said submission. The condition precedent in order to invoke the above said provisions of the ID Act so as to hold the termination illegal as already noted above , is that the first party must have worked for a continuous period of 240 days and more , immediately preceding the date of his alleged termination . In the instant case undisputedly, he worked hardly for a period of 74 or 75 days in the year 2000 before his services came to be terminated . As per the very admissions of the first party, he never worked with the management bank from 1997 till he was engaged by the management Bank at Karadahalli branch in the moth of July 2000. Therefore , when the first party was out of the service of the management for a period ofmore than 3 years before he was afresh taken in service on temporary basis in the month of July 2000, he cannot take advantage of the aforesaid previsions of ID Act so as to contend that his termination was retrenchment as defined under Section 2 (oo) of the ID Act and that it was a case of illegal termination there being no compliance of Section 25 F of the ID Act . It may be that the first partywas inthe service of the management bank for a period of about 15 years intermittently, but it was on temporary basis well known to the first party himself.

9. Now, coming to the question of this grievance that he was through eligible to be considered for the post ofpermanent peon as per the circular of the year 1988, his case was not considered. It was rightly argued for the management that it is not a question to be considered by this tribunal in the first instance for the reason that it is not as per the reference schedule noted above . Even otherwise, as has come in the very evidence brought on record , the first party when submitted his application for the above said purpose he had given his date of birth as 18-81958 . Therefore , in the year 1984 or 1985 when he is said to have 8.After having gone through the records I find much substance in the arguments advanced for the Second Party . Now, it is well settled principle of law that in order to hold the termination illegal in respect of temporary workers it becomes incumbent on the part of the first party workman to substantiate before this tribunal that he worked continuously for a period of240 days and more in a calendar year immediately preceding the date of his alleged termination . In this case undisputedly his services have come to be terminated w.e.f. 12-9-2000. Now , therefore, the question to be considered would be whether the first party was in the service of the management for the period of 240 days and more before 12-9-2000. As per the oral and documentary evidence brought on record it is not to be dispted that the first party initially joined the services of . the management bank somewhere in the year 1984-85 and worked for a period of 84 days during 1985-86 at Besagarahalli Branch and for a period of 115 days during the very same year at Kowdle Branch and in betweeen the period from 1995-97 he worked for a total period of 643 days . Once again he worked for a period of 74 days during 1998 at Devalapura Branch and for a period of 65 days at Kanthapura Branch in the same year and then worked for a period of 75 days at Karadahally Branch in the year 2000. As seen above , the first party in his cross examination in no uncertain words has admitted that he did not work with any ofthe branch of the management bank between 1986- 1995 and that he worked with Karadahalli Branch between 21-8-1995 and 31-8-1998 . He also admitted that from 1-9-1997 he has never worked with any of the branch ofthe management bank . He admitted that in the year 2000 he made an application dated 28-6-2000 as per Ex . M6 seeking the job and on the basis of the said application he was allowed to work at Karadahalli Branch and then he worked in the said branch for a period of 75 days in the year

joined the services of the management for the first time , he was undisputedly , crossed the age of 26 years which was one of the important qualification required for the purpose of he being considered as permanent employee of the bank as per the above said circular . Therefore , as contended for the managerment when he did not fulfill the above said requirement of age , his case was rightly not considered by the management and in the result, he cannot have any grouse against the management in that behalf.

AWARD

1. This is a reference made by the Central Government in exercise of its powers under clause (d ) of sub section 1 of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act 1947 ( the Act for short ) vide 'Government of India , Ministry of Labour , New Delhi Order No. L-41011 / 13 /2003 /IR (B -I ) dated 16-01-2004 . The terms of reference given in the schedule are as follows :

"Whether the action of the management of Central Railway , Mumbai did not allow to appear in the written test to 22 Nos . of employees as well as starting the recovery of wages from salary of 51 employees is justified and legal ? If not, what relief is entitled to workmen?"

2. The reference is related to two demands . Firstly, non -consideration of 22 workmen in the written test for promotion and Secondly, regarding recovery of wages from the salary of 51 employees . Regarding the first demand, the matter is not in dispute since not pressed by the employees being already considered for the promotion and postings as well . The dispute remains only with respect to the recovery of wages .

A-9) was served upon the Management contending that they had completed three years of service since they were promoted with retrospective effect w.e.f. 1-9-1998 . The said notice was received by the Office of the Regional Labour Commissioner (Central ) Mumbai on 6-3-2002. Thus , the conciliation proceedings started on 6-3-2002 within the scope of Section 20( 1 ) of the Industrial Dispute Act 1947. The concerned Asstt . Labour Commissioner issued notice .dt. 20-3-2002 under Section 12 of the Industrial Dispute Actwhich was replied by the Management . The conciliation failed and the concerned Conciliation Officer submitted its report vide letter dt . 26-6-2002 . However , during the pendency of the conciliation proceedings , the management with intention to legalize their action , issued letter dt . 28-5-2002 ( Annexure A-3) to the statement of claim and on that basis re - fixed the pay of the workmen and started recovery of alleged over payment without issuing any notice to show cause or an opportunity of hearing to the workmen and thus violated the mandatory provisions of Section 33 (1 )(a) of the Act . The Management has done the recovery of alleged over payment of wages in easy installments . The contention of the workmen is that letter dt. 28-9-98, issued by the Railway Board , makes it crystal clear leaving no room for any doubt and accordingly the management rightly issued the order dt . 19-1-2000 for implementation of the aforesaid order actually and as such implement it by fixation of pay , and making payment of arrears . The order of the management for re - fixation ofpay and recovery of the alleged over payment is altogether illegal being in violation to the settled principle of natural justice and violation of Section 33( 1 ) (a) of the Industrial Dispute Act.

3. The concerned employees of Central Railway, Mumbai (hereinafter referred to as workmen) and Central Railway (hereinafter referred to Management) were working as Khalasis , Helpers in the pay scale of Rs . 800-1150, 2650-4000 (RSRP ) under Mumbai Division of Central Railway as on 1-9-1998. The Railway Board , New Delhi pursuant to recommendation No. 54.23 ofVth Central Pay Commission issued an orderdt . 28-9-1998 ( Annexure 4) ofthe statement of claim upgrading 50 % post in scale of 2550-3200 and 2650-4000 to the scale of pay Rs. 3050-4590 (RSRP) . The workmen were accordingly given the benefit of the aforesaid Board's letter vide orderdt . 19-1-2000 (Annexure -A-5) to the Statement of claim making it effective from 1-9-1998 with a clear mention that the workmen would be entitled to fixation of pay and arrears with effect from 1- 9-1998 and as such they were given the benefit for fixation of pay and arrears. The workmen continued to draw their pay accordingly w.e.f. 1-9-1998 in view of the order dt . 19-1-2000. The controversy arose when the Management issued the notificationdt. 09-11-2001 ( Annexure A-7) to the statement of claim for filling up the vacancies of Junior Engineer - II against 25% quota and the workmen applied for its but they were declared ineligible on the pretext that they has not completed three years of service on 31-10- 2001. Consequently, strike noticedt . 4-3-2002 ( Annexure

4. The Management has contended that the employees under the reference are not workmen within the meaning of Section 2 (s ) of the Industrial Dispute Act and that no dispute exist within the definition of Section 2(k ) of the I. D. act. It further contended that on a persual of the Railway Boards letter dt. 28-9-1998 the eligible staff would be placed in the grade of Rs . 3050-4590 only after successfully undergoing the procedure indicated in para 6. Thus, the workmen would be eligible for promotion in newly created grade only after passing the trade test . However , the order dt . 19-1-2000 was wrongly passed by the management thereby wrongly mentioning "they are eligible for fixation of pay and arrears of payment w.e.f. 01-09-1998 " . The validity of the circular dt . 28-09-1998 is not being challenged nor has been declared as "Unconstitutional or arbitrary and it has a binding effect. It issubmitted that the Railway Boards circulardt. 28-9-1998 clearly provides that " staff selected and posted against the higher grade posts as a result of introduction of higher sale will have their pay fixed under rule 1313 [ R- II )/FR- 22- 1(a) 1 ] with the usual option for pay fixation as per extant instruction. " Further , Rule 1313 of IREC Vol . II clearly provides that employee will get salary of new post only [PART II-SEC . 3 (ii ) ] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10, 2007 / PHALGUNA 19, 1928

1488

when appointed to the new post involves the assumption of duties or responsibilities of greater importance . The promoted employees had carried out the duties and responsibility of higher post only after promotion order dt. 9-1-2000. Hence , their claim of areas with retrospective effect is not tenable .

5. In view of the pleadings of the parties, the following issues were framed :

(i) Whether the management proves that the employees concerned in dispute are not workmen within the meaning of Sec . 2(s ) of Industrial Dispute Act ?

(ii) Whether the management proves that the present dispute is not an industrial dispute within the meaning of Section 2(k ) of Industrial Dispute Act?"

(iii) Whether the Union proves that the management is not justified in changing date of promotion of the workmen from 1-9-98 to 19-1-2000 by orderdt . 28-5-2002 ( Annexure A- 3 of statement of claim)?

9A. Issue No. ( iii) and (iv) : The facts are not in dispute . Thedocuments are being filed by the workmen as annexures to the statement of claim itself. No documents is filed thereafter . The evidence of Mr. Mishra is there is support of the statement of claim . The contents of the documents are not in dispute . The question is only for interpretation of the document . Admittedly , the promotion orderdt . 19-1-2000 was passed by the management making it effective w.e.f. 1-9-1998 to comply with the Railway Boards circulardt. 28-9-98 . Admittedly , the date of promotion was changedvide letter dt . 28-5-2002 whereby the reduction in pay was made and the order was passed for recovery of the over payment . Admittedly , this order was passed without any show cause notice or information to the workmen during the pendency of the conciliation proceedings which would be deemed under the lawto have commenced on the date of receipt of the strike notice by the Asstt. Labour Commissioner concerned on 6-3-2002 under Section 20 (1 ) of the I.D. Act . The payment to the workmen was made for no fault of theirs and thus the recovery was made for no fault of theirs . No clarification whatsoever was sought by the management from Railway Board.

(iv) Whener management is justified in making recoveries from the pay of workmen pursuant to order dt. 20-5-2002.

(v) Whether the management of justified in making in- eligible 22 workmen for appearing in the selection to post of junior engineer - II (now infructuous)

(vi) if not , to what relief the workmen are entitled to?

6. The workmen filed the affidavit of Shri Vinod Kumar Mishra in lieu of his examination in chief in support of the please of the workmen . He has been cross examined by the learned counsel for the management .

7. The management filed the affidavit of Shri G. V. Jagtap , Divisional Personnel Officer, in lieu of his examination in chief in support of the written statement . He has been cross examinedby Mr. A. B. Mishra , a representative of the workmen .

8. I have heard the parties and gone through the record including the written submissions .

9.Findings:

10. The interpretation of the Railway Board circular dt . 28-9-1998 was done by none else but by the management . !1 cannot blame anybody for its interpretation or implementation. The orderdt . 19-1-2000 was passed by the management for implementation of the aforesaid order wherein it was categorically mentioned that the promotion would be effective w.e.f. 28-9-98 . Thus , the workmen did not come in picture . The workmen were accordingly fixed pay scales andwere paid the areas . Thereafter , the vacancies were advertised for senior category to which the workmen applied. This gave rise to controversy . The workmen declared ineligible on the ground that they have not completed three years of service . The workmen contended that they have completed the service of three years since they have been promoted w.e.f. 28-9-1998 . In this background , the notice of strike was issued by the workmen which was received by the concerned Asstt . Labour Commissioner on 6-3-2002 . The conciliation proceedings remained pending till 26-6-2002 when it failed. During the pendency of the conciliation proceedings , the order dt . 28-5-2002 had been passed thereby revising the fixation ofpay and passing order for recovery of arrears . This order , to my mind suffers from the basic principle of natural justice since no show cause notice at all nor any opportunity of hearing was given to the workmen for it . Further , this order is illegal being strictly in violation of Section 33 of the I. D. Act since it was passed during the pendency of the conciliation proceedings . The management should not have acted in that fashion in view of the law laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case reported in 1994 Supreme Court cases (LLS ) 1320, Bhagwan Shukla Union of India . Hence , the order of reduction of pay alleged to Issue No. ( i ) & ( ii ) : No evidence has been led by the management on these point nor anything in being submitted in the written submissions . The workmen are performing the duties mainly maintenance and report of electric locomotive in the capacity of technician under supervision of Senior Section Engineer and they are not supervisors or managers as admitted by management witness . Hence , there is nothing to show that they are not the workmen under Section 2 ( s ) of the Industrial Dispute Act. There is nothing on record to show that the present dispute is nót a dispute under Section 2( k ) of the Industrial Dispute Act .

BEFORE THE CENTRAL GOVERNMENT INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALNO . 2, AT MUMBAI

ANNEXURE PRESENT A. A. Lad PresidingOfficer

Reference NO . CGIT-2 /84 of2005 have been passed on the ground of wrong fixation of pay is liable to be quashed for violation of principle of natural justice since no opportunity of hearing was accorded by the management before passing of that order for reduction and recovery . In view of the law laid down in a case of Standard Chartered Grindlays Bank Ltd. vs. Govind Bhopale 2003 (2) Mh . L.J. 944 the provisions of Section 33 (1 ) (a ) and (b) and S. 33(3 ) of the I.D. Act are mandatory for employer and no adverse order can be passed during the pendency ofthe industrial dispute. In the case in hand the conciliation proceedings were very much binding on the date of the passing of the order dt . 28-5-2002 , within the provisions of Section 20( 1 ) of the I. D. Act and hence , such an order is bad being in violation to the provisions of Section 33 (1) and (2) of the Act . The contention of the management that the workmen could be granted promotion only after under going and passing prescribed trade test have got no merits since it was for the management to have considered this aspect prior to passing the orderdt . 19-1-2000 for implementation of the orderdt. 28-9-1998, clearly making it effective w.e.f. 28-9-1998 . The ruling relief upon by the learned counsel for the management in a case of Union of India vs. P. O. Abraham and others in Civil Appeal No. 8904/1994 before the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India is not helpful to the management on the fact and circumstances of the case. The contention of the management that the workmen were not entitled to fixation ofpay w.e.f. 28-9-98 since they did not shoulder the duties and responsibilities of the higher post is not acceptable at . present It may also be mentioned that the management did not are to seek any clarification from the Railway Board in this respect . It acted according to its own whims as suited to it from time to time .

The case was fixed for filing the affidavit i.e. adducing the evidence . The petitioner did not filed it and adduced any evidence in support of his claim . On behalf of the management its counsel appeared , however , the petitioner remained absent and no evidence is adduced by him. I do not think it proper to continue the case though the petitioner is not taking interest . Hence it is dismissed for default of the petitioner .

exercise of the powers conferred by Clause (d) of sub- section (1 ) and sub- section 2(A) of Section10 of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 have referred the following dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication :

"Whether the action of the management of Flag Officer Commanding - in- Chief, Western Naval Command in terminating the services of Sh. Srinivas Rao, Safaiwala of Naval Public School w.e.f. 19-2-1998 is legal and Justified ? If not, what relief the workman is entitled ? "

2. To support the subject matter referred in the reference Claim Statement is filed at Ex -6 by Secretary of the Indian Naval Employees Union stating that workman Shri Srinivas Rao was appointed as a Safaiwala in the Naval Public School from 1-8-95 . He worked from 1-8-95 to 19-2-98 and was terminated from 19-2-98 on the ground of unsatisfactory performance . So he approached the union who agitated his issues before RLC ( C) as no result was in favour of workman , dispute was referred.

3. Though he was appointed by the first party he was also asked to do extra duty . When he complained about it, it was not tolerated and action was taken which is not just and proper . The allegation of misconduct was given . However without holding enquiry and leading evidence action was taken of termination. So it is prayed that said action be declared illegal and be reinstated with benefit of back wages w.e.f. 1995 to 1998.

4. This is objected by first pary by filing reply Ex - 8 stating that appropriate Government of the first party is State Government and not Central Government. It is further stated that First party is a Private School and Governed by Rules of MEPS Act and cannot by covered under Industrial Disputes Act . It is further stated that union has no locus standi to represent workman . It is denied that workman was terminated after following due provisions of law and action taken by first party which is just and proper : Charges of misbehaviour , unsatisfactory work and discordance were leveled against concerned workman and relying on the documents , action was taken . So it is submitted that reference does not subsist .

5. In view of above pleadings my Learned Predecessor framed issues at Ex- 11 which are answered against it as folllows :

No (i) Whether the reference is maintainable as averred in W.S. para 2, .3 & 4 ?

Yes (ii) Whether the domestic inquiry held against the workman was as per the principles ofnatural justice?

No (iii) Whether the findings of the inquiry officer are perverse?

(iv) Whether the action of the management of Flag Officer Commanding -in -Chief,

61842107-11

Yes Western Naval Command in terminating the services of Sh . Srinivas Rao , Safaiwala of Naval Public School w.e.f. 19-2-98 is legal and proper?

(v) What relief the workman is entitled to ? Does not survive .

Reasons 1 to 5

6. It is pertinent to note that, Union has not attended the case since long. Sufficient opportunity was given to the Union but did not participate in the reference . It reveals that, Union is not interested in the reference . In the absence of evidence I answer above issues and conclude reference not maintainable . Moreover employee involved in the reference is employee of school . The contention taken by First party that , MEPS Act is applicable to the workman employed in the school is not disturbed by the Union so I am of the will that, in the light of stand taken by the first party that, MEPS Act is applicable, this Tribunal has no jurisdiction and second party cannot agitate the dispute before this court . Hence the order :

Chhaya Sisodia . The pecusal of record indicate that the petitioner Ku . Chhaya Sisodia raised the disputes through Bhartiya Koyla Khadan Mazdoor Sangh praying to regularize as a clerk . She was working as a teacher and she was not regularized by the Management in a clerical grade. However , besides tiling a claim petition and an affidvit the union as well as the petitioner Ku . Chaya Sisodia, has not taken any steps . She did not attend the court and offered for the cross - examination from 2003 . Today aiso when the case was fixed for active hearing like her cross - examination on behalf of the management her presence was extremely necessary . As indicated above neither she herself nor any person from the union is appearing in the court . In such circumstances no purpose willbe fulfill in continuing the case , which is pending since 2003 for the same reasons . Hence the reference is dismissed for her default .

Hence this award .

AWARD

That a dispute for regularisation of these workmen were initially raised by the ONGC contractual workers union a registered Trade Union of Contract Labourers . Their demand was that a large number of workers were alloted with perennial nature of jobs for which engagement of contract labourers were prohibited . As engagement of contract labourers in these jobs were not permissible they are entitled to be regularised . The authorities of the ONGC Ltd. did not pay and heed to the demand raised by the union and accordingly the union sought for intervaention of the conciliation officer .

The Government of India , Ministry of Labour , New Delhi, by a Notification No. L-30012/77/98 - IR(C- I) dt. 28-1- 99referred an Industrial Dispute between the Management ofONGC, Nazira and their workmen represented by ONGC Purbanchal Employees Association , Sibsagar on the following issues :

The present dispute was confined to 144 workers engaged in the jobs of typist, clerk etc. An enquiry was held on 1-12-97 & 2-12-97 in peresence of the officials of the ONGC Ltd. In the enquiry the management adopted a plea that the jobs of khalasi/ hepler wer not covered by the notification dtd. 8-9-94 . As the jobs performed by the workers involved in this reference were prohibited jobs for the purpose of engagement of contract labourers the "Whether any of the 144 contract labourers named in the list annexed have worked in any of the prohibited categories under the CL (R & A) Act ?

1496

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10 , 2007 PHALGUNA 19 , 1928

conciliation officer made and endeovour to persuade the authorities of ONGC Ltd. to absorb these employees as their regular employees . But , all his efforts ended in vain . The conciliation officer , thereafter submitted a failure report under Sec 12 ( 4) of the I. D. Act before the appropriate Government .

The workmen has prayed for an award in its favour .

The Management contested by filing W/ S and stated :----

Thatthe appropriate Govt . failed to apply its mindto the fact that the so calleddispute was being raised on behalf of so - called contract labourers and the Central Government prejudged the issue by mentioning that the dispute was being raised on behalf of the workman on ONGC

That the reference is bad in law and not maintainable , inasmuch as the ONGC is a registered employer under the contract labourer (Regulation & Abolition) Act , 1972 and the contractors are licenced under the said Act and hence the dispute relating to treating such workers as direct employees would not come within the ambit of an industral dispute within the meaning of Section 2 (K) of the I. D. Act . The management further submits that the Industrial Tribunal has no jurisdiction whatsoever to sit in judgement and decide the list which is the subject matter of a dispute under the authorities as specified under the contract labour (Regulation & Abolition ) Act , 1972 .

That the management further submits that the so- called association has no locus - standi whatsoever to represent the contractors ' employees and espouse their cause and , as such , the present instant purported dispute isa nullity in the eye of law and hence the industrial tribunal has no jurisdiction to decide the issue framed in the order ofreference .

That from the issue framed by the appropriate Government , it would be amply clear that the appropriate Government had pre -judged the issue that the 144 labourers worked in the prohibited categories under the contract labour ( Regulation & Abolition) Act , 1972 and such observation is sufficient to santch away the jurisdiction of the Industrial Tribunal which is otherwise conferred upon the authorities , under the contract labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act , 1972 .

That without prejudiceto the afresaid rights and contentions, but fully relying on the same , the management is not only entering appearence but also submitting its written statement .

That at the outset , the management of ONGC submits that the said so - called association has incorporated false and fabricated names and made the number 144 for the reasons best known to them .

Itis further submitted on behalf of the management that the designations of the said so - called contract labourers are self- styled and self- designated. It would be

[ PART II SEC. 3(ii) ] worth mentioning that the management of ONGC had no business whatsoever to designate the labourers who worked under the contractors . It is denied and disputed that the workmen involved in this case are typists , clerks , accounts clerk , store keepers , attendants/helpers/peons . It is further denied and disputed that initially the dispute was espoused by ONGC contractual workers union and subsequently by regular employees ' union.

That the management of ONGC further submits that ONGC being a public sector undertaking , has its own Rules and Regulations with regard to the recruitment and promotion or in the matter of any kind of employment which has the force of law. Apart from this , ONGC is requiredto follow strictly the provisions of various other statutes in the matter of employment . The existing Rules and Regulations of ONGC or the statutes did not provide any provisionto regularise the services of contractors workman in any way. Even casual workmen who put substantial period of service , cannot be regularised de - hors the provisions provided in the Rules and Regulations of ONGC which has a statutory force . It is further submitted, in addition to above , that there is no vacancy or vacancies or sanctioned posts against which the concerned workmen can be regularised. The said contractors workmen never worked against any sanctioned post.

The management has prayed for an award in its favour .

The only point that needs adjudication in this referrence is whether the 144 Nos . of workmen involved in this reference were ever engaged by the ONGC in prohibited jobs after the Notificationdt . 8-9-1994 under Section 10 (1 ) of the Contract Labour ( Regulation & Abolition ) Act , 1970 in the prohibited jobs mentioned in the notification and if so , whether the action of the Management in not treating them as direct employees is justified ?

It is an admitted fact that the workmen of this reference are contract labours . Now, the only point that requires our decision is whether they were ever employed the prohibited jobs as per the notification in question.

Let me nowdiscuss the evidence in this regard before arriving at my decision :

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10, 200 PHALGUNA 19 , 1928

Only this much of evidence are available before me . The workmen could not prove to the satisfaction of this tribunal that they were working in the ONGC from 1985-86 and they were engaged in prohibited jobs after 8-9-94 , the date prohibition notification . The only document proved in support of some of the workmen is Ext . W Which was proved by M W. No. 1. This document and some of the signatures on it of some of the officers of the ONGC were admitted by M.W No. 1 in his cross - examinations.

According to the Ext . W the following; workmen worked in the jobs as detailed here under :

(6) Ms Rekha Boruah ( contract labota ) worked as typist occasionalis . She is working as helper n . the P & A Section from 190

(10) Ms. Ritumoni Chetia (contract labota ) worked as typist from 1991 till March 1996 under Sri Monaram Borah , Supt . (Asstu P & A officer) .

[PART II-SEC. 3 (ii) ] ( 11 ) Ms. Swapna Chetia (contract labour ) worked as typust under B. C. Dihingia , Dy. M. (MM) upto March 1990 She worked from 1985 to 96 .

(14) Smt . Mato Saikia ( contract labour) worked as attendent from 1992 to 30-9-97 . She worked in TBG/MM in P & A Section . She used to deliver ' Dak ' to different serions.

Now from the evidence discussed above , it is crystal cleor that the workmen involved in this dispute are contract labears . The workman who took to the witness stand for the workmen admitted thatthey are contract labours who woriva under different contractors . They have also adrsitted that they received their wages from the contractors .

This being the position , the only moot point for decision is : Whether the contract labours who were ensaga in prohibited jobs are entitled to be absorbed as reployees of the ONGC ?

he answer is clearly No. There is no such provision in contract labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act , 1970 . The reason for such a conclusion by this Tribunal is that thers 40 jural relationship between the Management and the men as they were never directly employed by the Untess and until it can be established that the WARI were directly employed , the management can- nor directed to regularise the service or to absorb them as far employees . Evenatat is proved that the workmen were regaged in prohibited jobs after prohibition neration , in that event too , this Tribunal has no jurt chen to direct the Management to absorb the worfen . The Hon'ble Supreme Court in the steel Authority of Ind Vs. National Union Water Front Workers 2001 Als 3574 held in sub para 5 of para 122 that- " if the is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage , Called contract labour will have to be treated as enployees of the principal employer who shallbe directed to regularise the services of the contract labour in the coened establishment subject to the conditions as may becified by it for that purpose in the light of para 6 hercander". cout the:

in the case in hand , the contracts after 1989 were found be genuine not a camouflage . Hence, the workmen in th case, though might have been engaged in prohibited jobs. vinot betreated a direct employee of the ONGC and therefore , the ONGC cannot be directed to absorb them . Boththe parties argued at length ther respective cases and भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10 , 2007/फाल्गुन 19 , 1928

[भाग II- खण्ड 3( ii) ]

the Management filed a written argument supported by some case laws . The learned counsel for the workmen declined to submit any written arguments .

The main thrust of the arguments for the workmen was that as the workmen were engaged in prohibited jobs after the prohibition notification , all of the workmen should be treated as direct employees and the Management should be directed to regularise their service . But the workmen failed to establish that the contracts between the management and the contractors were simply a camouflage or a ruse . Moreover , a few of them could not prove to the satisfaction of this Tribunal that they were engaged by the Management in prohibited jobs . Even if the workmen can- establish this fact, in that event too , the management can not be directed to regularise them. The workmen of this reference were the employees of the contractors and therefore , there existed at no point of time the relation of employer and employee so far the Management and workmen are concerned .

The claim of the workmen is found to be without any basis . Hence , the action of the Management is found to be justified.

The Reference is answered accordingly .

labour practice by denying employment without following the procedure under I.D. Act .

3. The managements filed a joint written statement denying the contentions of the workman. They contend that the worker had joined service under the 2nd management as casual labourer on 7-8-2003 . Accordingto the exigencies of work he was given work at intermittent periods for 89 days altogether . He worked thus up to February , 2004. There were many other casual workers numbering about 500. All were given work on rotation basis . Nobody has been appointed permanently after the appointment of the workman . No discrimination has been shown to the worker . The worker was not entitled for notice or compensation for not engaging him after February, 2004 . He has not done any overtime work . Since a number of casual workers were available there was no need to engage anyone on overtime basis . The worker is not entitled to get anyrelief.

4. In the light of the above contentions the points that arise for consideration are :

(1) Whether the worker has worked 240 days during the period of 12 months preceding his termination ?

(2) Is the worker entitled for reinstatement and back wages ?

The evidence consist of the oral testimony of WW1 anddocumentary evidence of Ext . W1 on the side of workman and MW1 and Exts . M1 to M7 on the side of managements .

5. Points No. (1 ) & (2) :

Itis an admitted fact that the workman , Shri P. Jerom was a casual labourer under 2nd management from 7-8- 2003 onwards . But accordingto the workman he had worked 267 days . He contends that he was engaged three times for a period of 89 days cach with 3 days break at the end of every term of 89 days . However the 2nd management paid him only 89 days ' wages . He claims that he is a ' workman ' coming within the definition of S - 2 (s ) of I.D. Act and he can be terminated only after giving one month's notice or compensation in lieu of notice and retrenchment compensation . That was not done by the management . But according to the management the worker was engaged as casual labourer only for 89 days . According to them he was never engaged at a time for 89 days . There were a number of casual labourers and they were given work on rotation basis . In Para 10 of the written statement details of the engagement of the worker are mentioned as follows : ----

89 days 6. The worker , after his termination , had sent a lawyer notice. To this , admittedly, a reply was sent by the management. Ext. W1 is the reply . The management has taken the same view as in the written statment . In the reply notice also the details of engagement of workman as shown above are mention . Thus the management has consistent case that the worker was engaged only for 89 days altogether up to February, 2004. He was given work according to the availability of work , sometimes 9 days a month and sometimes 12 or 15 days a month . Therefore , according to the management , he does not satisfy the definition of S - 2(s) of I.D. Act to claim any right or benefit.

7. Ext . M3 is the application of the worker for casual employment submitted to the 2nd management on 29-5-2003. There is no dispute that it was processed and he was appointed as casual worker on 7-8-2003 . Ext . M4 series are copies of folios of registers of wages of casual labourers . it contains details of the number ofdays each casual labourer has worked every month and payments made . The workers signed the register and received wages every month . Ext . M4 series show that the worker , Shri P. Jerom had worked only for 89 days as detailed in Para 10 of the written statement . He was also paid bonus for the period 2003-04. Ext . M7 is the Acquaintance Register for pay ment ofbonus for the period 2003-4 . Sl . No. 1188 relates to Shri P. Jerom. He was paid Rs . 610 as bonus for the period 2003-04 . The burden is on the workman to prove that he had worked 240 days or more during a period of 12 months prior to his termination . But there is no evidence to support that contention of the worker . Whereas his own admission that he was paid wages only for 89 days out of 267 days he had worked and the balance days ' wages are due to him cuts at the very root of his case . Nobody would remain silent when 178 days ' wages is remaining unpaid . The copy of lawyer notice sent by the workman is not produced. I do not think that even in that notice the worker had claimed balance salary for 178 days . Had it been claimed there would have been a reply to the said claim in Ext. W1 reply of the 2nd management . In fact WW1 in the cross examination (pg.5) admitted that he had worked only for a few days every month . The details of work done mentioned in Ext. W1 reply notice and Para 10 of the written statement are admitted by him in the cross examination ( pg.4, WW1 ) . Buthis case is that he had done double duty . Even then it cannot amount to 267 days , but only 178 days . There is absolutely no evidence to show that he was taken for service at 3 spells of the duration of 89 days each . There is no record to show that he had worked beyond February, 2004. He admits that he had signed Ext . M4 series register of wages of casual labourers and received wages every month . The officer of the management , MW1 has denied the भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10, 2007/फाल्गुन 19, 1928

[ भाग II- खण्ड 3( ii) ]

contentions of the worker . He speaks in terms of the contentions in the written statement and say that depending upon the exigencies of work casual workers were engaged on rotation basis and not for a period of 89 days at a stretch . According to him the worker worked only for 89 days altogether between 7-8-2003 and February, 2004. The learned counsel for the management relied on HUDA v . J. SINGH 2006 (4) L.L.N. 100 to say that the burden is on the workman to prove that he had worked for 240 days . The same position is reiterated in KRISHNA BHAGYA JALA NIGAM LTD . V. MOHAMMED RAFI 2006- III -L.L.J . 755 and CHIEF ENG. R. S. DAM v. S. LAL 2006 (3) L.L.N. 751. WW1 admits that he was not given appointment order. Therefore it is difficult to accept the contention of the worker that he was engaged for a period of 89 days each . The worker has neither produced records nor caused the production of records to prove his case . There is no evidence to show that he had worked continuously for 240 days during a period of 12 months prior to his termination. Therefore he is not a ' workman ' coming within the definition of S2 (s ) of I.D. Act and he is not entitled for retrenchment notice or compensation .

8. The learned counsel for the management relied on the decisions in CROMPTON ENGG . CO . V. ADNL. LABOUR COURT 1975 I-L.L.J. 207 & AJAY KUMAR SHARMA V. P.O. 2007 -I -L.L.J . 262 to support his contention that a casual or temporary employee is not entitled for reinstatement or regularisation . It is observed inthe reported decisions of Madras and Delhi High Courts that a casual or temporary worker does not get any right for employment or reinstatement. His claim for arrears of wages also cannot stand as he has not done work for more than 89 days . He was paid wages admittedly for 89 days . Points are answered accordingly .

9. In the result, an award is passed finding that the demand of the worker , Shri P. Jerom for reinstatement with back wages cannot be justified and he is not entitled for any relief . The award will take effect one month after its publication in the Official Gazette.

AWARD

This is a reference made by the Central Government in exercise of its powers under clause (d) of sub section 1 ofSection 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act 1947 ( the Act for short ) vide Government of India , Ministry of Labour , NewDelhi Order No. L - 11012/100/98 IR (C - I) dated 28-11- 2003 The terms of reference given in the schedule are as follows:

demand on 22-10-1996 for regularization of loaders , cleaners , sweepers , peons and other employees engaged in different categories as is constituted a unfair labour practice governed under items 9 and 10 of Schedule 5 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 ( Ex -A) Thereafter , additional list dt . 109-12-1996 was sent along with the membership record in " J" Form about the employees . The statement of justification of demand dt . 11-12-1996 (Ex - B) was sentto Asstt . ILabour Commissioner (Central). On receipt of notice from Asstt . Labour Commissioner ( Central) the Company relied upon various writ petition and the orders passed thereon by the Hon'ble Bombay High Court more particularly in writ petition No. 1303 of 1996 and requested the Asstt . Labour Commissioner ( Central) not to entertain thedispute . The Sangh submitted replydt . 12-3-1997 and submitted a complete list of 1269 temporary employees to theAsstt . Labour Commissioner ( Central ) . The conciliation talkes faild and consequently the Asstt . Labour Commissioner submitted the failure reportdt . 5-8-1998 to the Government but the Government refused to refer the matter to the Industrial Tribunal vide order dt. 17-2-1999 . This order was challenged by the Union before the Honourable High Court of Bombay vide writ petition No. 1116 of 1999 which was allowed vide order dt . 22-9-2003 and the Government was directed to make the reference (Ex-D). This is how this reference has come to this Tribunal .

" क्या मुम्बई मजदूर संघ की इंडियन एअरलाईंस मुम्बई के प्रबंधतंत्र से माँग कि सूची में दिए गए 1269 आकस्मिक कर्मकारों को इंडियन एअरलाईंस की सेवा में नियमित किया जाये उचित एवं न्यायसंगत है । यदि हाँ तो कर्मकार किस राहत के पात्र है । तथा किस तारीख से ? "

3. The contention of the Union is that employment of workmen under reference on a rotational basis speaks by itself the malafide on the part of the Company which is just to deprive them of the benefits of permanency or regularization since they have not been even given the work for 240 days in a year . It amounts to violation of provisions ofArticles 19, 21, 39, 40 and 41 of the Constitution of India and the conduct of the management falls under itemNo. 9 and 10 of the Schedule 5 of the Industrial Dispute Act. The workman under reference had not been the parties to the writ petition referred to by the Company. The work done by them is of perennial nature .

4. The Company filed the written statement on 27-2-2004 and contended firstly that Mumbai Mazdoor Sangh has no locus standi to espouse the claim of the workmen . Hence , it cannot be termed as an industrial dispute and thus the reference is liable to be rejected . It is further sumbitted that four writ petitions No. 346 of 1996, 374 of 1994, 1303 of 1996 and 1563 of 1996 were being filed before the Honourable High Court of Bombay by the casual labourers seeking regularization . The regularization is now governed under the orders passed by the Honourable High Court of Bombay which are as follows :

2. The statement of claim has been filed by Mumbai Mazdoor Sangh (hereinafter referred to as the Union ) which has espoused the claim of 1,269 temporary workers (hereinafter referred to as workman) , on 22-1-2004 . The Union is registered under the Trade Unions Act , 1926 and isfunctioning in the city of Mumbai and all over Maharashtra . It is affiliatedto Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh (hereinafter referred to as Sangh) Federation of Trade Union . The Bhartiya Mazdoor Sangh has been declared by the Government of India as the largest federation /organization amongst the workmen on the basis of verification of membership . lis constitution permits employees employed in all the establishment including Indian Airlines Ltd. The workmen under reference are the members of Mumbai Mazdoor Sangh . The Indian Airlines Ltd. , (hereinafter referred to as Company) has employed the persons in the category of loaders . sweepers , cleaners , helpers , peons and other employees in different categories at Airport and such other places as required at Mumbai , Nagpur and Aurangabad Airport . The said employees are appointed for about 90 days or more than that in a order on rotation basis . These employees are employed intermittently but in a regular manner . The workmen under reference are working with the Company as such on rotation basis under the policy ofthe Company even from before 1979 but they are not being made permanent or regular and there is no security of employment. The Union , therefore , submitted a $

(1) " Indian Airlines Limited shall form a pool of all casual employees who fulfill the eligibility criteria (except the age limit) and have been engaged in the last 3 years, i.e. from1-1-1993 . No casual employee who is in the pool shall be replaced by any other casual employce who is not in the pool .

on 3rd June 1996 shall continue to remain operative".

Casual employment will be given to those placed in the pool on rotation basis .

The scheme has been accordingly prepared and the same is also filed in Writ petition No. 1563 of 1996.

(ii) Indian Airlines Ltd. shall endeavour to replace the casual employees by permanent employees .

(v) Indian Airlines Ltd. shall not be bound to offer any Employment to any casual employee who is irregular in his attendance , fails to accept work when offered or is unsuitable for regular employment"

5. The Company has contended that the aforesaid order is binding on the Company as such Company has formed a pool of casuals . It is also submitted that the said order is binding upon this Tribunal also and hence , no award can be passed for regularization of the workmen. The Compány is following the directions of the Hon'ble High Court of Bombay . It is further submitted that in writ petition No. 374 of 1996, the Hon'ble Division Bench of Honourable High Court of Bombay has passed the following order:

6. Regarding the workmen under reference the Company has submitted that they have been employed by it as daily rated workers at various points of time as per exigency of work. The names of 998 casual daily rated. workers are already on the pool maintained by the Company under the directions of the High Court of Bombay in the aforesaid Writ petition and hence , they are bound by the interim order for the remaining 271 casual daily rated workers, 232workers were working prior to 01-1-1993 and hence, not included in the pool, 10 casual daily rated workers not shown in the pool for want of records in support of their claim that they worked after 01-1-1993 , the names of 9 casual daily workers are in the list maintained at outstations and the remaining 20 were not in the pool because they were engaged for other categories than helpers . The aforesaid orders of the Honourable High Court of Bombay are applicable to the workmen under reference . It is also submitted that the Company is governed by all Policy decisions of the Central Government and pursuant to the direction given by the Prime Minister of India in 1992 to effect 10% cut in the staff strength across the board and the Ministry of Civil Aviation has been consistently reviewing the status. It is reiterated that the directions of the Prime Minister is not being used as a tool to avoid filling up permanent vacancies . The Fifth Pay Commission has stated that 30% posts have to be abolished in the next ten years or 3 % annually. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has been adopting the following course of action Freeze on further recruitment is being emphasized vide letters dt . 28-7-92, 06-9-94 and 18-9-1998 . The Ministry of Civil Aviation has been holding regular review meetings to achieve the objectives of production in man power and also organizational restructuring to achieve optimal man power. The Company reiterates that under the guise of restructuring and re - organization there has been no exploitation of those persons working as casual daily rated workers. Further , the Company is suffering loss on account of competitiveness in view of operation of new airlines which has decreased the passengers load and the income of the Company. The Kelkar Committee was formed and has submitted its recommendation to improve the financial position. The Company has initiated to curb absenteeism among employees, control and monitoring of overtime engagement of casuals etc. for the optimum utilization of the existing man power . The Company is not recruiting person from outside except in certain technical and critical areas . The Company has also introduced Voluntary Retirement Scheme to reduce the strength. Hence , there is no malafide on the part of the Company.

(a) " Respondent No. 1 shall frame scheme for regularization of the workers listed in the Petition broadly in terms of the scheme marked "X" for identification purposes . However , Respondent No. 1 before framing the scheme finally shall assess the requirement of regular work force in its different Departments in Western Region , particularly, the Departments in which the workers listed in the present writ Petition have been engaged and also the necessity for alleviation of the suffering of those workers have been subjected to during all these years and fix the strength of work force so that the workers concerned are able to get the benefit of regular service within reasonable time .

1504

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 10 , 2007 /PHALGUNA 19, 1928

[PART II-SEC. 3 (ii ) ] It is emphasized that the workmen under reference cannot be forced to bound by the order of the Honourable High CourtofBombay which was passed as consent order and to which they were not the parties and on that basis they cannot be deprived of their employment .

1 8. The Union filed the affidavit of Shri . Avinash Neelkanth Khot, in lieu of examination in chief who is one of the workmen working with the Company as Helper since the year 1991. It also filed the affidavit of Shri . Shaikh Moosa Shaikh who is one of the workman working with the Company since July , 1991 as Helper at Aurangabad Airport . Both of them have supported their contentions . Both of them have been cross examined by the learned counsel for theCompany.

who are working in categories other than Helpers would be included in the pool after going through the High Court order if they are also to be included in it . At present the pool of 2200 workers at Mumbai is there and the pool for outstation at Aurangabad and Nagpur is not with him which maybe produced at later stage . These lists are produced in the Court at a subsequent stage under the direction of the Court . Mr. Kamath also admitted that at present one contractor is engaged for handling other Airlines and also International flights who is engaged are roughly 100-200 workmen . The name of the Contractor is KCIC, Bombay with Headquarter in Bangalore . He also admitted that Livewell Contractor is meant for cleaning of aircrafts only and he does not know as to how many workers are engaged by it. The Company is registered as principal employer under the provisions of Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition Act , 1970 for the last more than 10 years . He is not aware that the Company had filed SLP in the Honourable Supreme Court against order of the Honourable High Court ofBombay in Writ petition No. 428 of 1998 and 374 of 1996 and same was dismissed by the Honourable Supreme Court . He also admitted that the casual employees as well as permanent employees are being paid overtime .

Shaikh Moosa Shaikh , Ex. 5 vide list dt . 28-11-2005, 22 documentsdt . 09-1-2006 (Ex . - 6 to 27) and 8 document vide listdt . 16-3-2006 (Ex -28 to 35). The Companydid not file any document on its own but filed 3 documents under the direction of the Court vide list dt . 23-8-2006 regarding the Pool scheme, list of casuals at Aurangabad and list of casuals at Nagpur .

9. The Company has filed the affidavit of Shri . Ramdas A. Kamath, Dy . General Manager ( Personnel ) of the Company in lieu of examination in chief to support the pleas taken up in the written statement . He has been cross examined by Mr. J.P. Singh , Secretary of the Union . He admitted that the workman under reference are working for about 90 days in a year on a rotational basis . He does not have the knowledge about any roaster prepared by the Company. He is not aware that any such record is being maintainedby the Commercial section of the Indian Airlines on the basis of which it maybe ascertained that such and such permanent employees have absented themselves from work and in their place such and such casual employees were being given the work. He stated that record would be produced to justify the averments made in para 4 of his affidavit . He also stated that he cannot say that work of the workmen under reference is of perennial nature or not . He admitted that 998 casual daily rated workers represented by Union have already been included in the pool . He also admitted that if the work is available and the workmen are avilable they are deputed for overtime work for which they are being paid double the wages . The workmen under reference are being paid on month to month basis . He is unable to recollect that Mumbai Mazdoor Sangh had raised the industrial dispute against the Company vide reference No. CGIT - 2/ 27/92 Mumbai for regularization of services of 199 workers and that reference was decided by CGIT - 2 Mumbai on 30-6-1995 directing the Company for regularization and punishing it for unfair labour practice. He is unable to recollect that he and every casual worker had submitted form " J " of membership register Mumbai Mazdoor Sangh while issuing the letter of demand . He also stated that there could be 999 workmen in place of 998 as mentioned in the affidavit owing to some inadvertent mistake and similarly 231 in place of 232 workmen . He also stated that after going through the record he can disclose the names of 10 workmen who did not work after 1-1-1993 and hence not incorporated in the pool . He specifically stated that the workmen who produced record for work after 01-01-1993 and those record are found OK, their names wouldbe included in the pool . He also stated that 20 persons 1505 भारत का राजपत्र : मार्च 10, 2007/फाल्गुन 19, 1928

[ भाग II- खण्ड 3(ii) ].

(v) Selections will be made by duly constituted Selection Board as per the Recruitment and Promotion Rules of the Respondent Company.

(vi) Merit lists , category/cadre -wise will be prepared and the selected candidates wouldbe offered employment against the vacancies in order of merit .

(vii) While making appointments , the directives of the Government with regard to reservations will be adhered to .

(viii) A panel will be drawn of the selected candidates as per merit and as per Rules. The validity of the panel so drawn will be for a period of two years from the date of approval of the same by the Competent Authority.

(ix) The appointment of the above -mentioned empanelled casual employees , will be subject to their completing all the pre- employment formalities and on being declared medically fit by Medical Officer ofthe Company.

legal and justified for regularization of 1269 temporary workers with Indian Airlines and , if it is so , asto what relief is to be given to them. The demand as it stands is apparently not acceptable and cannot be held to be legal and justified in view of the recent pronouncements made by the Honourable Supreme Court and the High Court in the year 2006. For this , the reference amy be made to the case, (i) Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors vs. Umadevi and Others , 2006 (1 ) 252 Supreme Court Service Law Judgment page 480 , ( ii ) State Bank of M. P. and Ors vs. Yogesh Chawan Dubey and Ors. 2006 (8) SCC page 67 and (iii)Accounts Officer (A & I) A.P.S.R.T.C. and Ors . vs. P. Chandra Sekhar Rao and Ors 2006 (8) SCC page 67. The Honourable Apex Court has held that the persons appointed on temporary /casual/contract basis without following with due process of selection as recognized by the releveant rules that continued for long years and some of them up to 10 years have no right to be permanently absorbed in the employment. Similarly the reference may also be made to the judgment of Honourable High Court of Calcutta in Civil Appeal No. 1347 of 1997 between Phani Bhusan Dutta vs. Indian Airlines decided on December 4, 1997, against which SLP had been preferred before the Honourable Supreme Court and the same resulted in dismissal . That being so the settled legal position , the workers under reference are not entitled under the law for regularisation or absorption permanently and hence , the reference is to be dimissed on the face of it.

14. However, before parting with the matter , I would like to mention some material facts and decide the points of controversies .

(x) Those who cannot be appointed due to non - availability of regular vacancies would be given ex - gratia payment calculated on the basis of compensation payable under Section 25 - F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. However , theywill have no claim for re-employment as casual or otherwise in future .

(xi) This will be a one time exercise only and will not be quoted as a precedent at any point oftime, in future . Such of the casual labour whose names are borne on the existing pool and have not reported for work, despite written intimations during the preceding six months prior to notification of vacancies shall not get benefit from the aforesaid scheme .

(xii) Indian Airlines Ltd. , shall not be bound to offer any employment to any casual employees who is irregular in his attendance , fails to accept work when offered or is unsuitable for regular employment or who has been black listed being found involved in any un -desirable activity or theft or dishonesty .

15. The first contention raised by the Indian Airlines is that the Union has no locus standi to espouse the dispute and to contest the reference . This plea appears to be on the face of it untenable in view of the fact that Union had been raising the demand from the very beginning since the year 1996; that it had been a party to the conciliation proceedings before the concerned Conciliation Officer; that it had been a party who filed the writ petition befere the Honourable High Court of Bombay challenging the order of the Government for refusal to make the reference and lastly it had also contested another industrial dispute before CGIT- 2 , Mumbai against Indian Airlines and in that matter also the locus standi of the Union was upheld. It may further be observed that the Union has filed proof ofmembership of the workers and the same had never beenin dispute from the side of the Company. In this view ofthe matter , the plea raised by the Company is altogether frivolous and is liable to be rejected.

12: I have heard the learned counsel for the parties and gone through the record . I have also gone through the written submissions filed by the parties.

16. The next contention raised by the Company is that the workers under reference are casual workers and they are boundby orders passed by the Honourable High Court of Bombay from time to time in differrent writ petitions . The Union has tried to contravert this contention by saying that the workers under reference were not parties 13. The terms of the reference are very specific and they restrict the scope of the reference to the extent that as to whether the demands of Mumbai Mazdoor Sangh is 1506

[PART II -SEC . 3 (ii) ]

may also be ovserved that the directions issued by the Government from time to time are not being complied with Ca true spirit . The Company is still going ahead with providing the contract to an authorized contractor for mploying contract labour in different departments at Mumbai as well as outstations which fact has been pecifically admitted by Mr. Kamath in his evidence . This is not appreciable . It may further be observed that the payment for overtime is to be curbed but I find that no attention is being made by the Company towards it and it has still maintained the regular practise of giving the myment to the employees for overtime work therby causing burden on the exchequer of the Company . The Company should avoid providing overtime wages to the workers and employ casual workers in that place to provide them job on rotation . Lastly , names shown in the pool do not have the father's name and address which may give rise to Jispute and litigation . It should be rectified immediately .

18. Considering the entire record and keeping in wind the discussion made above , I conclude that the demand of the Union for regularization and permanent absorption with the Company is not justified . However the Company hasto include the names of all the workmen under reference after verifying facts other that 998 workers whose names have already been included in the pool . The Company should endeavour to comply with the scheme expeditiously and provide employment to worknen under reference till regular recruitment .

to the writ petition under which different orders have been passed and more particularly the consent order . I feel that the contention of the Union has got no force and it can be safely held to be governed by the directions made by the Honourable High Court of Bombay in the writ petitions . I further feel that it appears to be in the interest of the Union to agree to abide the orders of the Honourable High Court of Bombay. It may further be observed that 998 workers out of the 1,269 temporary workers under reference are already included in the pool . The dispute remains in respect of 271 workers only out of which 2.32 workers not included in the pool for working prior to 1-1-1993 . I feel that they cannot be excluded if they are working much before 1-1-1993. Regarding 10 casual daily rated workers, it is admitted by Mr. Kamath that their records would be checked and if they are found OK, their names would be included in the pool . This admission sets right the controversy and the Company should include their names inthe pool if their records of serice are found to be OK. The nine casual daily rated workers are from outstation and for it the Company at Mumbai should ensure that Airports at outstations should comply with the directions immediately . The Company at Mumbai cannot shrug its responsibility by means of the aforesaid plea that they relate to outstations . Further , 20 workers are not included in the pool since they are engaged in other categories than Helpers . This pica too is meaningless since the order of the Honourable High Court of Bombay does not specifically relate to categorics of helpers only. Hence.These 20 workers should also be included in the pool in the category in which they are working.

एस. दो. जेवियर , अदर सचिव [सं. एस-38013 /06/2007- एस.एस.- 1 ] The scheme has been prepared bd Company in accordance with the direction of the Honeable High Court ofBombay. The scheme has actually besmitted before the Hon'ble High Courts and the saine has been accepted in toto . The scheme has been quoted at vide para 11 by me . Despite the fact that the scheme has been accepted by the Honourable High Court, I find scane lacunas in it. Firstly, it does not speak out of a time frame for implemen- tation. It gives indefinite period to the Company to implement it. It is not desirable . Secondly , it says that notification. would be issued inviting applications from casual en: ployees for regular recruitment in accordance with the selection process under recruitment and promotion rules of the Company . No time frame has been given under which the recruitment is to be made . I feel that the Company is least interested in making any recruitment under the recruitment and promotion rules. This inference is open on account of the fact that the period of more than 5 years has lapsed but still no progress a ! all appears to be there for recruitment in accordance with the Recruitment and Promotion Rules of the Company. The Company is not to be permitted to take the piea that it as bound by the recruitment process under the law and hence , bar back door entry unless it shows its eagerness to recruitments under the recruitment and promotion rules of the Company.
