own motion in interest of justice & 24.11.2014 was next

date fixed for filing of statement of claim. On 24.11.2014

none appeared on behalf of applicant & statement of claim

also both the parties were absent till the closure for the

claim by applicant was closed due to lack of interest from

appliant side. From the above circumstance it is clear that

nearly 8 month has elapsed since service against the

applicant & applicant has been served in person but

statement of claim has not been filed by him which is

indicative of the fact that applicant is not interested &

willing in filing the statement of claim. Accordingly, the

Tribunal is unable to pass a suitable award in absence of

the pleadings of the parties & evidence lead by them in

relation to respective pleadings.

3. It is also pertinent to note that on 7.3.2014 copy of

the reference was sent by Ministry to applicant with

referred to as 'Act') has referred the following Industrial

dispute for adjudication to this Trinunal:-

"Whether the action of the Management of Central

Soil Salinity Research Institute, Karnal in terminating

the services of Sh. Gurdial Singh SS Grade-I Beldar

w.e.f. 9.6.1988 is just and legal? If not, to what relief is

the workman entitled to?"

In response to the notice, the workman appeared

and submitted statement of claim pleading that he was

appointed as S.S. Grade-I (Beldar) on daily rate basis by

the management in the year 1982 and was allowed to work

continuously till 5.12.1984. After giving a notional break,

he was again appointed as Beldar on daily wages and

allowed to work till 1988. He was called for interview on

24.6.1987 for the post of S.S. Grade-I in the pay scale of

Rs. 750-940 on regular basis. He was not selected. He was

again called for interview on 19.4.1988 but he was not given

regular pay scale. His services were terminated w.e.f.

9.6.1988 without assigning any reason and without serving

him any notice or payment of retrenchment compensation.

That the persons junior to him were retained in service . In

the circumstances, the termination of his services is illegal

and he be reinstated in service.

Management filed written reply controverting the

averments and denied that workman was ever appointed

as Beldar at any point of time. It is further pleaded that the

muster roll/acquaintance roll has been destroyed by a

Committee vide office order dated 9.1.1991 as per rules.

That the management makes appointments by following a

procedure and as per rules and workman was not appointed

as Beldar. It is further pleaded pleaded that after 1.4.1988

the respondent management did not employ any labour

and the work was given on contract of different contractors.

Parties were given opportunities to lead their

evidence.

In support of their case, the workman appeared in

the withness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim statement.

On the other hand the management has examined

S.K. Goyal who filed his affidavit reiterating the stand of

the respondent management taken in the written statement.

I have heard Sh. B.B. Bagga for the workman and

Sh. S.K. Gupta for the management and also perused the

written arguments submitted by them.

It was vehemently argued by the learned counsel for

the workman that the witness of the management namely

Sh. S.K. Goyal admits that the workman was appointed in

the year 1982 and continued doing work till 1984 and again

he was allowed to work till March, 1988 and in view of this

admission made by the witness of the management, it is to

be taken that workman actually worked with the respondent

management continuously and since his services were

terminated without paying him any retrenchment

compensation, he is liable to be reinstated in service.

It may be added that Sh. S.K. Goyal has deposed in

his affidavit in para 9 that workman was never appointed

as Beldar and he did not work with the management. That

a contract system was introduced in the department w.e.f.

1.4.1988 and specifically denied that workman was

employed by the respondent management in the affidavit

and his statement during cross-examination that the

workman was appointed in the year 1984 and worked upto

March, 1988 has no merit more particularly when there is

no record of attendance available with the respondent

department and it is specifically pleaded in the written

statement that the record has been destroyed as per rules.

It seems that Mr. S.K. Goyal has made the statement just to

favour the workman and his statement cannot be relied

upon. There is no other convincing evidence on the file

except the bare statement of the workman that he was

employed by the management which cannot be acted upon

without any corroboration. Thus it is not proved on the file

that he was ever employed by the respondent

management.

He is also not entitled to any relief on the ground

that his services were allegedly terminated in June, 1988.

He raised a demand notice and the present reference was

in the year 1997 i.e. he agitated the matter after considerable

delay and did not furnish any explanation in this respect

and therefore on the ground of latches, he is not entitled to

any relief.

Again there is a copy of the award dated 18.5.2005

placed on the file showing that the reference regarding the

termination of the services of the workman dated 9.7.1997

was received and since the workman failed to pursue the

same, the same was returned to the Central Government

vide award dated 18.5.2005. The present reference is also

dated 9.7.1997. It seems that the workman got referred his

dispute twice from the appropriate Government and he

failed to pursue one of the reference, he cannot claim any

relief in the second reference.

It is the case of the workman himself that he was

engaged on daily rated basis. Thus he was a daily wager

and the termination of the services of such a workman do

not amount to retrenchment and in this respect reliance

may be placed on Divisional Forest Officer, Rohtak vs. Jagat

Singh and Others reported in 2010 (4) SLR 390, wherein, it

was observed in para 4 of the judgment as follow:-

It may be noticed that the definition of retrenchment

in Section 2 (oo) of the Act is applicable to the

provisions contained in chapter VA containing

Sections 25F and 25H of the Act. The termination of

daily wager is not retrenchment failling within Section

2(oo) (bb) of the Act. Therefore, the workman, who

is a daily wager, cannot be reinstated as it does not

amount to retrenchment within the meaning of

Sections 25F and 25G of the Act.

1342

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Thus, considering all the circumstances, the reference

is answered against the workman and it is held that he is

not entitled to any relief. Let hard and soft copy of the

award be sent to the Central Government for further

necessary action.

On the other hand respondent No. 3 has examined

Sh. Arun Kumar, who filed has affidavit supporting the

stand taken in the written statement.

I have heard Sh. Anil Mehta, counsel for the workman

and Sh. Madan Mohan, counsel for the management.

It may be added that the reference is whether the

action of the management of M/s. A N Kapoor Pvt. Ltd. in

terminating the services of the workman is legal and

justified. A lengthy argument was advanced to show that

the workman was initially employed by respondent No. 3,

but since the reference is regarding the terminatioin of the

services of the workman by respondent No. 1 and 2, the

said question is not to be considered by this Court.

Moreover, it is the case of the workman itslelf that here

services were terminated by respondent No. 1 and 2 without

any notice or compensation.

According to the workman, she was engaged by

respondent No. 1 and 2 in April, 2005 and her services were

terminated on 17.11.2006. There is an unrebutted statement

of the workman in support of these assertions. This fact is

also admitted by respondent No. 3 in the written statement.

Respondent No. 1 and 2 did not come forward to contest

the claim of the workman. Therefore it is to concluded that

workman was employed by respondent No. 1 and 2 from

April 2005 to 17.11.2006.

There is nothing on the file to suggest that any notice

was issued to the workman prior to the termination of her

services or she was paid any compensation as required

under Section 25F of the Act. Thus the termination of the

services of the workman by respondent No. 1 and 2 on

17.11.2006 is not legal and are unjustified.

Now the question to be seen is whether the workman

is entitled to reinstatement in service. Suffice it to say that

respondent No. 1 and 2 are the contractors to whom the

contract was given by respondent No. 3 for providing

services for sanitation, housekeeping etc. In the

circumstances, the reinstatement of the workman with

respondent No. 1 and 2 cannot be ordered. However she is

to be paid compensation for illegal termination of her

services. Ordinarily the workman is entitled to one month's

pay and 15 days' average pay for every completed year of

service. Considering the totiality of the facts, a lump sum

amount by doing the guess work is required to be paid to

her as compensation. Therefore in the circusmstances of

the case, she is awarded Rs. 2 lac as compensation which

she is entitled to recover from respondent No. 1 and 2.

In result, the reference is answered in favour of the

workman holding that termination of here services by

M/s. A N Kapoor Pvt. Ltd. are illegal and she is entitled to

recover Rs. 2 lac by way of compensation from respondent

No. 1 and 2. The said firm shall pay the compensation

within two months from the date of the publication of the

award failing which the workman is entitled to recover

interest at the rate of nine per cent per annum on the awarded

amount from the date of the award till realization. Let hard

and soft copy of the award be sent to Central Government

for further necessary action.

AWARD

The Central Government/Ministry of Labour &

Employment vide its Order No. L-42012/128/2012-IR(DU)

dated 07.01.2013 referred the following Industrial Dispute

to this Tribunal for adjudication.

The schedule mentioned in that order is:

"Whether the demand for employment to the

workman S/Sri S. Duraisamy and 14 others is legal and

justified? If so, to what relief the concerned workman are

entitled?"

2. On receipt of the Industrial Dispute this Tribunal

has numbered it as ID 60/2014 and issued notice to both

sides. Both sides entered appearance through their Counsel

and filed Claim and Counter Statement respectively.

3. The averments in the Claim Statement filed by the

petitioner in brief are these:

The petitioners are Sons of workmen who had worked

in the Respondent establishment as permanent employees.

These employees died while they were in service. The

petitioners were provided employment by the Respondent

on compassionate grounds when they approached the

Respondent after death of their respective fathers. The

petitioners rendered efficient and loyal service to the

Respondent. Most of them were working with the

Respondent during the period from 1988 to 1993, the details

of which are shown in the Claim Statement. To avoid the

claim of permanency by the petitioners the Respondent

created occasional breaks in their service. Later the

Respondent refused to provide employment to the

petitioners and relieved them from their duties with effect

from their last day of their service. Some other workers

who were turned out from service in such manner had raised

industrial dispute and the Labour Court, Trichy had directed

the Management to reinstate them in service. This order

1346

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

was confirmed by the High Court as well as by the Supreme

Court. Whenever the petitioners requested the

Management for reinstatement, they were assured of

reinstatement after final verdict in the case before the

Labour Court, Trichy. But the Respondent has not

reinstated the petitioners even after the order by the Trichy

Labour Court was confirmed by the higher courts. An order

may be passed directing the Respondent to reinstate the

petitioners in service with back wages and continuity of

service.

4. The Respondent has filed Counter Statement

contending as follows:

The petition is barred by limitation as it is beyond

the period specified under Section-2(a)(3) of the Industrial

Disputes Act. It is admitted that petitioner's fathers served

in the Respondent establishment and died while they were

in service. However, the cause of their death was natural

and not due to any accident arising out of and in the course

of employment. Appointment on compassionate grounds

is considered in the Respondent establishment only in the

event of the employee dying due to accident during the

course of and arising out of employment. The petitioners

are not entitled for employment in the Respondent

establishment on compassionate ground. The petitioners

were engaged only on daily wages in the category of

unskilled workers as casual labourers during some period

till 1993. Their engagement was purely on temporary basis.

The contract of employment was for a specific period and

on expiry of the period the engagement automatically came

to an end. It is not admitted that the petitioners worked in

the Respondent establishment for the number of days

stated in the petition. None of the petitioners worked for

more than 240 days in the year prior to the date of the

alleged termination. So the provision of Section-25(F) of

25(N) are not attrached in the case. The allegation that the

Respondent created artificial breaks in the petitioners'

service with the mala-fide intention to avoid their claim for

permanency is not correct. The Respondent being a

Government of India Undertaking, the appointment to any

post in the establishment is subject to the recruitment policy

and guidelines of Government of India. The petitioners

were not at all terminated from service. It was only a case of

non-renewal of contract of employment. The petitioners

used to be engaged only when work was available and that

also for a specified period. Disengagement of the petitioners

will not amount to termination. In any case the petitioners

have been sleeping over the matter for around 20 years.

For this reason itself they are not entitled to any relief.

5. The evidence in the case consists of oral evidence

of WW1 and MW1 and documents marked as Ext. W1 to

Ext. W202 and Ext. M1 to Ext. M5.

6. The points for consideration are:

(i) Whether the demand of the petitioners for

reinstatement in the service of the Respondent is

legal and jusitifed?

(ii) To what relief the petitioners are entitled?

The Points

7. All the petitioners are children of persons who

were permanent workers of the Respondent establishment

and died while they were in service. According to the

petitioners, on death of their respective fathers who were

permanent workmen of the Respondent establishment, they

have approached the Respondent and were provided with

work on compassionate basis. The petitioners are said to

have been taken as workers by the Respondent either in

1988, 1989 or 1990, but all turned out of work at the end of

March 1993. It is stated by the petitioners that after their

termination from service, they have been requesting the

Respondent to reinstate them in service but were made to

wait with the assurance that their case will be considered

after a dispute raised by some other workmen came to an

end. According to the petitioners even after the dispute

raised by other workmen before the Trichy Labour Court

were ordered in their favour and were confirmed by the

High Court and Supreme Court, their plea for reinstatement

was not favourably considered by the Respondent.

8. It is the case of the Respondent that the petitioners

were not given employment on compassionate grounds at

all. It is admitted by the Respondent that all the petitioners

are children of workmen of the Respondent establishment

who died while they were still in service. However, according

to the Respondent all of them had natural death and not on

account of any accident in the course of their employment.

It is admitted by the Third Petitioner examined as WW1

that all those workmen had a natural death though they

died while in service. The case of the Respondent is that

only the children of those employees who died in accident

during the course of employment are entitled to employment

on compassionate grounds as per the recruitment policy

of the Respondent. In fact there is no case for any of the

petitioners that they were permanently employed. They

were being engaged on daily wage basis by the Respondent,

probably considering the fact that they are children of

workmen who died while in service.

9. The case of the petitioner is to be rejected on

account of the huge delay in raising the dispute itself. As

seen from the Claim Statement itself, all the petitioners were

terminated from service in March 1993. The dispute was

raised by them before the Labour Commissioner only in

2012. That means it was almost after 20 years the petitioners

have thought of raising a dispute challenging their alleged

termination.

10. True, no limitation is prescribed in the Industrial

Disputes Act for raising the dispute. Sub-Clause (2) & (3)

was incorporated to Section-2(A) of the ID Act only in

2010 enabling the aggrieved workmen to approach the

Industrial Tribunal directly after expiry of 45 days of the

application before the conciliation officer and within 3 years

¹Hkkx IIó[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % ekpZ 21] 2015@iQkYxqu 30] 1936

1347

from the date of discharge, dismissal or retrenchment.

However, this limitation prescribed is only for directly

approaching the Tribunal and not in raising the dispute

before the Conciliation Officer. However, in spite of the

absence of any such provision for limitation delay in raising

the dispute is a matter that is to be taken into account. This

is the dictum laid down by the Apex Court and reiterated

repeatedly. The petitioners have not stated what is the

reason for the delay in raising the dispute. There is a vague

reference in the Claim Statement to the assurance made by

the Respondent regarding consideration of their demand

after disposal of a similar matter pending. But the petitioners

have not produced a scrap of paper to show that they have

made any representation to the Respondent seeking to

take them back in service. What were the petitioners doing

for the 20 years during which they remained silent? There

is no clue at all regarding this. The Third Petitioner who is

the only one examined on the side of the petitioners have

not stated anything about the delay in raising the dispute.

It could not be that they were sitting idle for all these 20

years. By the time they approached the Conciliation Officer

the issue has already become stale. It was something

forgotten, buried to the past. There was no justification at

all for the petitioners for coming forward with such a dispute

after all these years. Silence for so many years is to be

interpreted as acceptance of their termination without any

challenge. The petitioners probably thought of raising the

dispute after some workmen were reinstated in service on

the intervention of the labour Court, Trichy. If not for this,

the petitioners would not have thought of a reinstatement

even in 2012. I find that on account of delay itself the

petitioners are not entitled to any relief.

11. Even otherwise the claim of the petitioners for

reinstatement in the service of the Respondent has no legal

justification. They petitioners have given a table in the

Claim Statement showing the days for which they have

worked with the Respondent. As seen from the Claim

Statement, the First Petitioner has worked for 674 days, the

Second Petitioner for 894 days, the third Petitioner for 982

days, the Fourth Petitioner for 805 days, the Fifth Petitioner

for 578 days, the Sixth Petitioner for 388 days, the Seventh

Petitioner for 533 days, the Eighth Petitioner for 85 days,

the Ninth Petitioner for 53 days, the Tenth Petitioner for

664 days, the Eleventh Petitioner for 846 days and Twelfth

Petitioner for 346 days. As could be seen the period during

which each of them have worked this much days is from

1988 to 1993. None of them have worked for more than 240

days within any particular 12 months even as per the Claim

Statement. The petitioners have produced their appointment

letters and relieving orders. As could be seen from these

documents each time they were appointed for a specified

period and were relieved after expiry of the said period.

They were appointed again after some days or after some

months as the occasion necessitated and were relieved

again. Their employment was never continuous even as

seen from the documents.

12. The counsel for the Respondent has referred to

Section-25F of the ID Act and pointed out that the Section

is applicable only to persons who were in continuous

service for not less than one year. As per Section-25(B)(i)

of ID Act if a person is to be said to be in continuous

service for a period he should be in uninterrupted service

for that period. If he is not in continuous service as per

Sub-Clause (i) of Section-25(b) of the Act, as per Sec. 25

(B)(2), he will be deemed to be in continuous service for a

period of one year if he was during a period of 12 calendar

months preceding the date with reference to which

calculation is to be made has actually worked under the

employer for not less than 190 days in the case of workman

employed below ground in a mine and 240 days in any

other case. So if the petitioners are to be treated to have

been in continuous service for a period of one year they

should have actually worked for 240 days prior to the date

of their termination. Even as per the Claim Statement none

of the petitioners have worked for 240 days during the 12

calendar months preceding the date of their termination

with reference to which the calculation is to be made. As

per their claim statement itself the First Petitioner has

worked for 102 days, the Second Petitioner for 105 days,

the Third Petitioner for 97 days, the Fourth Petitioner for 98

days, the Fifth Petitioner for 90 days, the Sixth Petitioner

for 109 days, the Seventh Petitioner for 88 days, the Eighth

Petitioner for 85 days, the Ninth Petitioner for 53 days, the

Tenth Petitioner for 90 days, the Eleventh Petitioner for 192

days and the Twelfth Petitioner for 92 only during the 12

calendar months preceding their termination. The Apex

Court has held in the decision HARYANA STATE

COOPERATIVE SUPPLY MARKETING FEDERATION

LTD. VS. SANJAY reported in 2009 14 SCC 43 that for the

applicability of Section-25F the workman has to show that

he has been in continuous service for not less than one

year under an employer. So legally also the petitioners are

not entitled to any relief.

13. In view of my discussion above, the reference is

answered against the petitioners. An award is passed

accordingly.

The Government of India, Ministry of Labour, in

exercise of the powers conferred on them under Sec. 10(1)(d)

of the I.D. Act., 1947 has referred the following dispute to

this Tribunal for adjudication vide their Order No. L-42011/

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

SCHEDULE

"Whether the action of the management of

Progressive Construction Ltd., in stopping the work and

non-payment of admissible dues to Shri Arya Kumar

Srivastava, Liaison Officer w.e.f. 20.06.2009 is fair and

justified? What relief the concerned workman is entitled?"

2. Neither the workman Arya Kumar Srivastava nor

any his representative appeared nor any written statement

along with his documents filed on his behalf despite last

chance. likewise none appeared for the Project Director,

the progressive Construction Ltd., Bagodhar, Giridihi.

On perusal of the case record, it appears the case

has been all along pending fof filing the W.S. with the

documents of the workman, for which three Regd. Notices

dt. 29.05.2013, 26.0.2014 and 10.11.2014 were issued to both

the parties on their addresses noted in the reference itself

for it, yet despite the best efforts of the Tribunal, none of

the parties could appear except the workman who appeared

only two times on 17.04.2014 and 16.06.2014, yet he could

not file any written statement with his documents. Under

these circumstances, it stands undoubtedly quite clear as

apparent from the conducts of the workman that he is no

longer interested/willing to pursue the case for its finality.

So it seems No industrial Dispute exists. In result, the case

is closed as such; accordingly 'No Dispute Award' is

passed.

India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference

is received. The reference is made to this Tribunal

under Section-10 of I.D. Act, 1947 as per Notification

No. L-29012/85/2002-IR(M). The dispute under

reference relates to:

"Whether the action of the management of Bhilai

Steel Plant in terminating the serivces of

Shri Bhagiram is legal and justified? If not, to what

relief the workman is entitled for?"

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the

parties. Statement of claim is submitted at Page 3/1

to 3/4. Case of workman is that he was working with

IInd party from 1987. He was working with devotion.

His services were terminated from 8-4-2000. Workman

was suspended vide order dated 6-11-99.

Chargesheet was issued to him on 13-11-99. That

enquiry was not properly conducted. He was not

given opportunity for defence. He is illiterate person.

His signatures were obtained by the officer on

several documents. Co-worker was not allowed for

his defence. He was not given opportunity for adducing

evidence. Workman had not caused any damage to

the property. After dismissal from service, workman

is rendered unemployed. On such ground, workman

is praying for his reinstatement with back wages.

3.

IInd party submitted Written Statement at Page 10/1

to 10/7. IInd party submits that chargesheet was

issued to workman under clause 29.1, 29.2 of standing

orders. Workman was given opportunity for his

defence. It is denied that workman was not given

opportunity to cross-examine witness or lead his

evidence or to engage co-worker. It is submitted that

workman had admitted charges against him as per

letter dated 21-2-2000 and at other stages. Even after

issuing showcause notice to workman, he admitted

¹Hkkx IIó[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % ekpZ 21] 2015@iQkYxqu 30] 1936

1353

charges of unauthorised absence. He refused to

engage co-worker as he admitted charges against

him. On such ground, IInd party submits that

workman is not entitled to any relief. Punishment of

dismissal is proper and legal.

4.

Evidence of parties was recorded by my predecessor

and as per order dated 23-2-2012 held enquiry proper.

5.

Considering pleadings on record, the points which

arise for my consideration and determination are as

under. My findings are recorded against each of them

for the reasons as below:—

(i)

Whether the misconduct

alleged against workman is

Enquiry proceedings?

(ii)

Whether the punishment of

(iii)

As per final order.

workman is entitled to?"

REASONS

6.

Enquiry is found proper and legla. Thereafter no

evidence is adduced by both parties. Documents are

produced at Exhibit W-1 to W-4. Charge against

workman was (i) willful disobedience of lawful and

reasonable order of superior, (ii) leaving work place

without permission and (iii) dishonestly in

connection with company property. Exhibit W-2 is

order of his suspension. W-3 shows that on 5-11-99,

workman was allotted tipper No. MKT 741. He failed

to report to quarry with said tipper for transportation

of Ore/Waste. He was not traceable in Ist shift.

Around 1.15 PM, he brought said tipper to garage.

The tipper was driven by outsider was parked in

garage. Exhibit W-4 workman has admitted charge

against him. In view of admission of charge, I record

my finding in Point No. 1 in Affirmative.

7.

Point No. 2 — the charge workman was not reporting

with Tipper No. MKT 741 in Ist shift on 1-11-99 at

1.15 PM, workman had brought said Tipper to

Garrage. The Tipper was driven by outsider and was

not handed over to garage supervisor. The pleading

of workman that he was in service of IInd party form

1987 till dismissal of his service in 2000. For the alleged

misconduct, not reporting to Mine with Tipper in Ist

shift, the punishment of dismissal appears excessive

and not justified. Considering the nature of proved

charge, punishment of dismissal would be justified.

When past service of the workman is not shown

bad, the punishment of compulsory retirement would

be appropriate. Accordingly I record my finding in

Point No. 2.

8. In the result, award is passed as under:—

(1)

The action of the management of Bhilai Steel

Plant in terminating the services of

Shri Bhagiram is not legal and proper.

(2)

Punishment of dismissal is modified to

compulsory retirement of Ist party workman.

IInd party is directed to give retirement benefit

to Ist party workman.

Passed on this 18th day of February, 2015

1.

As per letter dated 27-2-2012 by the Government of

India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference

is received. The reference is made to this Tribunal

under Section-10 of I.D. Act, 1947 as per Notification

No. L-43012/4/2011-IR(M). The dispute under

reference relates to:

"Whether the action of the management of M/s

Jayaswal Neco Ltd. (Steel Plant Division) Siltara

Growth Centre, Raipur in retrenching/terminating the

services of Shri Irfan Sariff, Ex-Assistant (F&A)

Mines, without observing the provisions of Section

25-F of ID act is legal and justified? What relief the

workman is entitled to and from which date?"

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the

parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of

claim at Page 1 to 3. Case of Ist party is that he was

issued appointment order dated 5-12-05. He was

appointed as Assistant in F&A Mines on 1-5-05. He

was working with IInd party on daily wages from

November, 2004 prior to the appointment order was

issued. He was paid salary under vouchers. That he

completed probation period and was confirmed

service from 1-6-06, the order issued on 14-12-06.

That he was continuously working with IInd party.

He acquired status of permanent employee. He is

covered as workman under ID Act. He was performing

his duties sincerely and honestly. That workman was

transferred on 22-5-08 to F&A Coal Mines. He joined

his duty on 1-10-08. He was further transferred to

Coal Mine Division via order dated 19-9-08. His

repeated request for transfer to Raipur were not

considered. Workman submits that he could not

attend the duty at place of transfer as he was getting

nominal salary of Rs. 9105/-. He has taken rented

home at Raipur. Mr. Shaji Thomas Dy. General

Manager has advised him to submit undertaking not

to remain absent then his request will be considered.

If he again remained absent, the same will be treated

as his resignation. Despite of his written undertaking,

workman was not transferred. His services are

terminated illegally. It amounts to illegal retrenchment.

He was not paid retrenchment compensation before

termination of his service after his undertaking dated

16-2-09. On such grounds, workman prays for his

reinstatement with back wages.

3.

IInd party after notice appeared through Advocate

Jaipal Singh but no Written Statement is filed.

4.

Considering pleadings on record, the points which

arise for my consideration and determination are as

under. My findings are recorded against each of them

for the reasons as below:—

(ii)

is entitled to?"

order.

REASONS

5.

The workman filed affidavit of his evidence

supporting his contentions in statement of cliam that

he was appointed by IInd party from 1-12-05. Prior to

it, he was working on daily wages from November,

2004. His services are terminated without issuing

notice. He was transferred to Coal Mines Raipur as

per order dated 22-5-08. Vide order dated 19-9-08, he

was transferred to Raigarh region. He requested

management for transfer to Raipur. He was suffering

from sciatica. He had not attended duties at place of

transfer in Raigarh Division. That place is 240 kms

distance from Raipur and coal miens are located at

60 kms from the office. The evidence of workman

remains unchallenged. That undertaking was

obtained from him that if he remains absent, it would

be treated as his resignation. Unchallenged evidence

of workman cannot be disbelieved. Workman has

not produced documents Exhibit W-1, W-2, W-3 in

support of his evidence. As evidence of workman

shows that he was regular employee of IInd party,

his services are terminated without notice,

retrenchment compensation not paid to him, the

termination of service of workman is illegal for

violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. For above

reasons, I record my finding in Point No. 1 in Negative.

6.

In the result, award is passed as Under:—

(1)

The action of the management of M/s Jayaswal

Neco Ltd. (Steel Plant Division) Siltara Growth

Centre, Raipur in retrenching/terminating the

services of Shri Irfan Sariff, Ex-Assistant

(F&A) Mines is illegal.

(2)

IInd party is directed to reinstate workman with

full back wages.

Passed on this 19th day of February, 2015

1.

As per letter dated 26-6-00 by the Government of

India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference

is received. The reference is made to this Tribunal

under Section-10 of I.D. Act, 1947 as per Notification

No. L-29012/50/2000-IR(M). The dispute under

reference relates to:

"Whether the action of M/s Allied Quality Controllers

Goberwahi, PO Goberwahi, Distt. Bhandara in nor

paying retrenchment compensation as per ID Act

and not paying 15 days leave wages to Shri Pathiram

S/o Modku and 32 other workers are justified? If not,

what relief the workmen are entitled to?"

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the

parties. Statement of claim on behalf of Ist party

workman by Shri Pathiram at Page 2/1 to 2/2. Case of

workman is that they were engaged as labour by

IInd party on daily wages in wages Rs. 38.23 since

year 1977. Their Provident Fund was deducted

amount of PF was deposited in PF office at Jabalpur.

Without assigning any reasons, all the workmen were

terminated without notice. They were not paid

retrenchment compensation. All workmen were

continuously working with IInd party for 20 years.

Their services are terminated without notice is illegal.

On such ground, Ist party workman prays for

reinstatement with back wages.

3.

IInd party submitted Written Statement. Preliminary

objection is raised that the answering respondent

entered into a contract with Manganese Ore India

Ltd. on 31-10-98 for a period of 3 years ending on

31-10-98. The contract was for transport of ore from

Mining to Railway siding far away from Mining to

stack it at Railway siding. The activity of loading ore

is only unconnected with mining as Central Govt. is

not the appropriate Government under Section 2-A

of ID Act. The order of reference is without

jurisdiction and illegal. The answering respondent

completed contract on 31-10-98. The establishment

ceized to exist from 1-11-98. Stator notice of closure

of establishment was given by RPAD on 30-8-98 to

Secretary of Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour. The

notice was also displayed on notice board for

information to the workman in Hindi. That Pathiram

has submitted statement of claim on behalf of 32

employees without authority by them. That law is

settled that recognized Union only can espouse the

grievance of workman collectively. If case is not filed

by Union, workman is required to file case

individually. If statement of claim of individual

workman was not given, the statement of claim is

silent about work performed in particular calendar

year. The statement of claim is vague and therefore

the claim deserves to be dismissed.

4.

IInd party further submits that workmen were engaged

on casual basis as per availability of work. Workman

not completed 240 days during any of the calendar

year. That workmen not rendered continuous service

as defined under Section 25B of ID Act. Since the

employees rendered their services on casual basis,

not completed 240 days continuous service, in any

of the calendar year, their claim for gratuity was

rejected by competent authority. It is submitted that

the workmen are gainfully employed therefore they

are not entitled to backwages.

5.

Considering pleadings on record, the points which

arise for my consideration and determination are as

reference and adduce evidence. Evidence of

management is closed on 16-2-2015. As both parties

failed to participate in reference proceeding and no

2. After receiving reference, notices wee issued to

the parties. Ist party workman alongwith General Secretary

of Metal Mines Workers Union submitted statement of

claim at Page 4/1 to 4/14. Case of workman is that he was

removed from service as per letter dated 19-1-96. Workman

challenged order of removal filing appeal. His appeal was

dismissed on 27-1-97 without hearing. Management did

not consider he was Joint Secretary of the Union. Shri B.J.

Mishra Mines Manager was not Competent Authority for

issuing order of removal. The chargesheet was not specific.

Charge No. 1 pertains to absence from duty without

permission on 17-1-94. Enquiry Officer recorded finding

that workman was on duty till 11 AM. That evidence of

witnesses Ramchand Prasad DW-4- workman was seen at

12.30 PM.PW-3 Mishra confirms that information was given

by the workman about his temporary absence. It is reiterated

that enquiry was not properly conducted. The evidence of

witnesses was not properly appreciated. There was no

evidence about workman instigating other workers to

participate in a procession. Said charge has not been proved

from evidence in enquiry. That statement cannot be used

against a person without giving opportunity to cross-

examine. Enquiry was conducted violating principles of

natural justice. Copy of statement of witnesses referred in

Memo dated 26-2-94 were not supplied to him even on

request. Ist party workman was protected workman under

ID Act. Enquiry Officer failed to appreciate that dispute

between labours and management are combination of

groups. Meeting of Union Representative was called on

17.1.94 Said meeting was attended by Joint Secretary.

Enquiry Officer not considered statement of DW-3 Mishra,

DW-4 Prasad about information given by workman for

participating in meeting. The finding of Enquiry Officer are

wrong, illegal contrary to evidence. The evidence of

Ramnarayan Bai, Raj Kumar Tiwari, A.B. Singh, R.G. Mishra

was not properly considered. Report of Enquiry Officer is

silent on orders of groups work adjustment dated 18-1-94.

Enquiry Officer deliberately not supplied written agreement

dated 17-1-94. That Enquiry Officer misinterpreted statement

of PW-4 hat Bisahu came to workspot on 17-1-94. That

Ganesha Bai, Sukhiabai were not examined. That there was

no charge against workman of actual participation in alleged

procession. There was false representation by management

that the DPR were also punished. In substance, workman

submits that findings of Enquiry Officer are illegal. The

order of removal from service is illegal. He prays for

reinstatement with back wages.

3. IInd party filed Written Statement at page 6/1 top

6/7 denying claim of workman. IInd party submits that

workman was submitted list of documents and witnesses

required for his defence. Workman had replied chargesheet.

It is denied that representation of workman were not

considered by Mines Manager. It is reiterated that

punishment of removal from service was imposed against

workman as charges against workman were proved as per

report of Enquiry Officer. Specific provisions of standing

orders were quoted in the chargesheet. The Statement of

Ist party workman are incorrect that Enquiry Officer failed

to appreciate evidence properly. It is denied that order of

removal was issued by incompetent authority. It is denied

that enquiry was conducted in violation of principles of

natural justice. That formation of gangs in discretion of

management depends upon requirement of job. The

formation of gang was postponed till 14-1-94. There was

no question of calling meeting on 17-1-94. That statements

of Ramchandra Prasad shows that workman came on duty

at 10.30 AM on 17-1-94. He was found in crowd of workers

at 12.30 PM. It is reiterated that the charges against

workman are proved. The punishment of removal from

services is proper.

4. Workman filed rejoinder at Page 9/1 to 9/6

reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.

5. As per order dated 12-2-2014, enquiry conducted

against workman is found legal.

6. Considering pleadings between parties and order

on preliminary issue, the points which arise for my

consideration and determination are as under. My findings

are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-

(i)

Whether the misconduct

Enquiry proceedings?

(ii)

(iii) If not, what relief the

workman is entitled to?"

REASONS

7. In view of my finding on preliminary issue enquiry

against workman is found proper and legal, question

remains for decision as to whether evidence in Enquiry

Proceedings proves charges against workman. The charges

against workman were on 17-1-94, he left duty place without

permission of Competent Officer. That he participated in

procession and inspected other workers to partcipate in

procession causing obstruction in production. The

documents relating to enquiry was produced on records

needs no details discussion in view of finding on

preliminary issue. In Exhibit M-2 representation submitted

by workman he claimed that the charges are baseless and

denied by him. In Exhibit M-5 representation by workman

the claim that exparte enquiry was conducted against him

under influence of the management, statement of Shri B.K.

Shah, Manager Hirri Mines is clear that Shri Sitaram Singh

reported to him that workman was absconding from duty

on 17-1-94. Workman was absconding till end of the shift.

Even at blasting time 3 PM, he did not turn up. Witness

was busy in sending mandays reports on that day. In his

cross- examination, management's witness Shri B.K. Shah

says on 17-1-94, between 9 to 11 AM, he was in quarry

1358

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

office. In reply to Q 3 witness says that if he is present at

3 PM and personally again comes to time office, he can

also see them. That physically he had not seen workman in

mine at 11 AM. The working period of workman was 9 AM

to 6 PM. Workman was allotted duty of charging the holes.

Workman was attached to blaster Ramchandra Prasad.

Workman was explosive career and not attendant. Workman

was authorized to carry explosive to site and also to take

care of safety measures. That procession took place around

9.30 AM and ended around 1 PM. About 100 persons

partcipated in procession. Approximately 300 workers were

working in the mine. About 100 labours were actually

working on that day. About witness informed Mr. Shah

about workman absconding from duty. MW-3 Shri T.L.

Yadav says on 17-1-94, he visited canteen, quarries and

other places around 9 AM. Around 10 AM, he reported to

office. After 15 minutes, came to office and inquired about

Mine Manager. He saw some workers coming on corridor.

He asked workers about their leaving working place. Some

one said that Bisahu Ram told them that decision about

gang change will be taken in presence of all Trade Union

Leaders. After half an hour, about 100-120 workers gathered

with some Union leaders. In his cross-examination, he admits

that workman is active labour. That Bisahu was present for

some time on the date of incident. He felt there was his role

in instigating the workers. The evidence cannot be re-

appreciated as Appellate authority. Workman was Union

office bearer but atleast he should have informed the

concerned office before leaving the work spot. The

evidence of witnessess is not cogent on the point of

instigating by workman to other workers for participating

in procession. Charge No. 2 cannot be proved from evidence

in record as charge No. 1 is proved. For above reasons, I

record my finding partly in Affirmative.

8. Point No. 2- Ist party workman instigating other

workers has not supported by evidence. Only charge No. 1,

workman left working spot on 17-1-95 without permission

of Competent Officer. Workman was Union office bearer. It

was appropriate on his part to participate in the meeting

relating to allotment of gangs. However he should have

requested permission of the concerned officer not

obtaining permission of attending the meeting on 17-1-94.

The punishment of removal from service appears excessive

and harsh. Workman has attained age of superannuation

in 2006 therefore he cannot be reinstated after his age of

superannuation. Considering above aspects, punishment

of removal from service deserves modified to compulsory

retirement. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No. 2.

9. In the result, award is passed as under:—

(1)

The action of the management of Hirri Mines,

Bhilai Steel Plant, SAIL in removing

Shri Bishahu Ram Ex- Attendant, Hirri, Mines

is not proper and legal.

(2)

Punishment of removal from service is modified

to compulsory retirement. Ist party workman

is entitled to retiral benefits.

AWARD

The Central Government, Ministry of Labour &

empowerment vide its Order No. L-29012/13/2010-IR(M)

dated 05.10.2011 referred the following Industrial Dispute

to this Tribunal for adjudication.

The schedule mentioned in that order is:

"Whether the action of the Management of M/s

Graphite Mines and Beneficiation Plant, Sivaganga in

terminating the services of Sri G. Karuppachamy, worker,

is justified or not? What relief the workman concerned is

entitled?

2. After receipt of the Industrial Dispute this Tribunal

has numbered it as ID 88/2011 and issued notice to both

sides. Both sides have entered appearance through their

counsel and have filed their claim and counter statement

respectively.

3. The case put forth by the First Party in his claim

statement is this:

The First Party has joined the services of 2nd Party

management on 16.06.2004. He was provided with

employment on the ground that he was one of the persons

who had given his land for the graphite mines in Sethi

Udayanathapuram in Sivagangai taluk. He had worked with

the 2nd Party Management till 01.12.2003. While he was

working in the graphite mines, during the year 2002. he had

fallen ill and was admitted as an in-patient in Govt. hospital

Sivagangai. Though he was discharged from the hospital

after a month, he had become ill again and had been taking

private treatment. During this period he was not able to

report for work. The 2nd Party management had treated

him as unauthorizedly absent and had referred him to the

Medical Board for medical examination. The First party

had appeared before the Medical Board and he was told

that a report regarding the examination would be sent to

the 2nd Party Management. The First Party had met the

Factory management of the graphite plant on several

occasions and had requested him to permit him to report

for work. But he was told that he would be permitted to

report for work only after a reply is received from the head

Office. The First Party is an illiterate. Though he had

received a Charge Memo dated 26.03.2003 he had not

submitted any explanation of the same. The management

did not send any notice to the First Party regarding conduct

of enquiry. He was not served with an order terminating his

services also. When a representation was made by the

First party to the 2nd Party Management a reply dated

06.08.2009 has been given stating that his appointment

has been cancelled as he had unauthorizedly absented

himself. The termination of the services of the First Party

by the Management is illegal and arbitrary. The said

termination was not preceded by an enquiry. The

termination would amount to retrenchment as defined under

Section 2(00) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The 2nd Party

Management ought to have complied with the requirements

of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act. The First

Party never had intention to abandon his employment. He

could not attend for work only because he was undergoing

treatment on account of his illness. The 2nd party shall be

directed to reinstate the First Party in service with continuity

of services with back wages, with all other benefits.

4. The averments raised in the counter statement

filed by the 2nd Party are these:

Employment was provided to the First Party on the

ground that he is one among the persons who had given

land to the 2nd Party Company he was working as an

unskilled workers. But he used to be absent from work

frequently. During 2002 he had remained absent for a period

of 6 months unauthorizedly. He was issued a Charge Memo

and based on the report given by the Medical Board he

was allowed to work. He had again absented himself from

01.12.2003 without any intimation to the 2nd Party. A memo

has been issued to him. The explanation given by him to

the memo was accepted and he was allowed to continue in

the job. However, he had again absented from work

unauthorizedly from 21.12.2003. A charge memo was sent

to him on 02.01.2004 but was returned un-served. So an

enquiry was ordered and an enquiry Officer was appointed

for this purpose. Notice was sent to the petitioner's address

fixing date of enquiry. But he failed to attend the enquiry. A

notice was again sent to the First party asking him to report

for work. Notice was pasted on the door of his house also.

Since the First Party did not turn up for work in spite of all

this, his name was removed from the roll of workers w.e.f.

21.12.2003 by order dated 29.03.2004. This order sent to the

First Party was returned with the postal endorsement that

he is not in India. It is incorrect to state that the First Party

had approached the Factory Manager to permit him to report

for work. The name of the First Party was removed from the

roll of workers as he was unauthorizedly absent. This will

not amount to retrenchment and does not warrant

compliance of requirements under Section-25F of the ID

Act. The First party is not entitled to any relief. An award is

to be passed accordingly.

5. The points for consideration are:

(i)

Whether there is any justification for the

2nd Party in terminating the services of the

First party?

(ii)

Whether the First Party is entitled to the relief

of reinstatement in service with other benefits?

If not, is he entitled to any other relief?

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

6. The evidence in the case consists of oral evidence

of the First Party examined as WW1 and on behalf of the

2nd Party examined as MW1 and also documentary

evidence consisting of Ex.W1 to Ex. W17 and Ex. M1 to

Ex. M8.

Points (i) & (ii)

7. The First Party is a resident of Sivagangai taluk of

Sivagangai district. When the 2nd Party wanted to start its

Graphite Mines and beneficiation plant at Sivagangai, the

First Party had parted with an extent of 170 cents of land

belonging to him in favour of it. In return the 2nd Party had

employed the First Party as an unskilled worker in its

establishment. he had been working in this capacity with

the 2nd Party from 1994 to 2003.

8. According to the First Party he had fallen ill during

the year 2002 and had to be admitted in the hospital. Though

he was discharged from the hospital he had continued to

be ill and was not in a position to attend his work. The

2nd Party had asked him to appear before the Medical

Board and he had obliged. however, he was not allowed to

report for work after this. According to the First party, though

he had requested the Manager of the factory to permit him

to report for duty he was not allowed. It is claimed by the

First Party that illegally and unjustifiably his services had

been terminated by the 2nd Party without any enquiry or

even any notice to him.

9. The case of the 2nd Party is that the First Party

was continuously absenting himself from work. What is

stated in the counter statement of the 2nd Party is that he

was a "notorious absentee". It is stated in the counter

statement that notices have been continuously sent to the

First Party after he absented from duty but this could not

be served on him as he was not in the house. It is stated in

the counter statement that untimely the Management had

decided to remove his name from the roll of workers and

information regarding this has also been sent to him and it

has been pasted at the door of his house also.

10. It is clear from the counter statement that the

First Party had been in the roll of workers of the 2nd Party

till 21.12.2003 only. What is stated is that by order dated

29.03.2004 his name has been removed from the roll with

effect from 21.12.2003. Accordingly to the First Party

himself, he was employed continuously without any break

till 01.12.2003. Thus it could be seen that the First party

had worked with the 2nd Party till December 2003 only. The

First Party had raised the present dispute only in 2008.

What he had stated in the claim statement is that he had

given a representation to the 2nd Party on 01.07.2008 and a

reply has been given by the 2nd Party stating that his

name has been removed from the roll as he was

unauthorizedly absent. Even though the First Party has

stated in the claim statement that he had met the Factory

Manager of the graphite plant on several occasions and

requested him to permit him to report for work but he was

not permitted, there is nothing to show that any written

request has been made by him to permit him to work, prior

to his rep. dated 01.07.2008. So certainly it is almost after

5 years he made a move for getting back to work.

11. It could be seen from the admission made by the

First Party examined as WW1 during his cross examination

that he had received the Show Cause Notice dated

19.12.2003 calling upon him to show cause why his name

should not be removed from the rolls on the ground of

absenting himself from work. He has stated that he has

sent a reply to the 2nd Party Management stating that he

was not doing well and could not attend duty and that he

would join duty and continue to work from 20.12.2003.

However, according to him he did not receive any charge

memo of enquiry or any notice related to it. It could be seen

from the admission of MW1 examined on behalf of the 2nd

Party that there is nothing to show that notice of enquiry

has been given to the First Party. Though initially he stated

that Ex.M4 is a notice regarding domestic enquiry he

subsequently admitted that it is only a notice asking the

petitioner to return to work. He also admitted that the

Management did not conduct any enquiry before removing

the name of the First Party from the roll of its workers. Thus

it could be seen that even though there is a claim in the

counter statement that enquiry has been conducted before

the name of the First Party had been removed from the roll

there is no evidence regarding conduct of any such enquiry.

What is to be deciphered from the evidence of MW1 is

that no enquiry has been conducted at all. The term used

by the 2nd Party regarding the manner in which the

First Party was sent out form work is that his name was

removed from the rolls. it is not stated in as many words

that his services were terminated. Striking of the name of

the workman is not covered in any of the section 2(00) of

the Industrial Disputes Act. So it amounts to retrenchment

under Section-25(F) of the ID Act. Even before issuing an

order of termination under habitual absence the

management ought to have given the workman an

opportunity to defend himself and for the purpose show

cause notice should have been issued and an enquiry

should have been held to prove habitual absence (2009-5-

MHLJ-414). Apparently, in the present case, no such

enquiry has been conducted. There was no justification

for the mgt. in terminating the services of the First Party by

way of removing his name from the roll, without any such

enquiry.

12. The counsel for the Second Party has pointed

out that for long 5 years the First Party has been keeping

silent before he has approached the Second party with a

representation for permitting him to report for work. In fact

there is sufficient basis for this argument advanced by the

counsel also. however, it has been pointed out by the

counsel for the First Party that such conduct on the part of

the First Party could not be termed abandonment of work.

¹Hkkx IIó[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % ekpZ 21] 2015@iQkYxqu 30] 1936

1361

In this respect he has referred to the decision in 2004-1-

CTC-744 (Sundaresan Vs. Deputy Commissioner of Labour)

where it was held that abandonment must be total and

under such circumstances which clearly indicate that the

workman wanted to snap the relationship of master and

servant and relinquish the service in question. There must

be actual or imputed intention on the part of the workman

to abandon and relinquish the service, it was further held.

According to the counsel there is nothing to show that the

First Party has abandoned his services.

13. Probably the fact that the First Party has given a

written representation to the Second Party, though with

delay, would indicate that he had not abandoned the

services with the 2nd Party. There is also the fact that he

was removed from the roll of the 2nd Party without any

notice and without any enquiry. In such circumstances I

find sufficient force in the argument of the counsel of the

First Party that the First Party is entitled to the relief of

reinstatement in service.

14. The fact remains that the First Party was nowhere

available or had taken it upon him to fight for his right to be

taken back in service even though his service was

terminated by removing his name from the roll as early as in

March, 2004. When this aspect is taken into account, I do

not think even while reinstatement is being ordered the

First Party is entitled to the relief of backwages for the

period from December, 2003, to the date of reinstatement in

service. However he is entitled to the relief of continuity in

service and other consequential benefits. Accordingly an

award is passed as follows :

15. The 2nd Party is directed to reinstate the First

Party in service with continuity of service within one month.

The First Party will not be entitled to backwages.

16. The reference is answered accordingly.

AWARD

1. By order No. L-41011/14/2011-IR(B-I) dated

29.08.2011 the Central Government in the Ministry of

Labour, New Delhi in exercise of powers conferred by clause

(d) of sub section (1) and sub section (2A) of Section 10 of

the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) referred this

industrial dispute between Mandal Sangahan Mantri, Uttar

(Premwati Nagar), Post—Manak Nagar, Lucknow and

Divisional Railway Manager, Northern Railway, DRM

Office, Hazratganj, Lucknow and Senior Divisional

Mechanical Engineer (O&F), Northern Railway, Lucknow

for adjudication to this CGIT-cum-Labour Court, Lucknow.

2. The reference under adjudication is:

"WHETHER THE DEMAND OF THE UNION,

UTTAR RAILWAY KARMCHARI UNION,

LUCKNOW FOR QUASHING THE PENALTY

ORDER DATED 19/02/2009 OF DISCIPLINARY

AUTHORITY AND ORDER DATED 31/07/2009

OF APPELLATE AUTHORITY ISSUED TO SHRI

SYEDURRAHAMAN, CLEANER IS LEGAL AND

JUSTIFIED? TO WHAT RELIEF THE

WORKMAN/UNION IS ENTITLED?"

3. It is admitted case of the parties that the workman,

Syedurrahaman, was issued one minor penalty charge

sheets dated 24.09.2008, 14.09.99 and 27.06.2000 under

Railway Servant (Discipline and Appeal) Rules, 1968 for

alleged misconduct of unauthorized absence; and after

submission of reply by the workman to the said charge

sheet, the punishment orders dated 19.02.2009 was issued;

whereby the alleged punishment has been imposed upon

the workman, resulting into withdrawal of three set facility

pass. The workman preferred an appeal against the order

of the punishment, which too was rejected by the appellate

authority.

4. The workman's union has alleged the Asstt.

Divisional Mechanical Engineer (O&F) directed the

Sr. Section Engineer (Loco) vide their letter dated 25.02.2008

not to allow the workman to join the duties; and accordingly,

the Sr. Section Engineer (Loco) issued order dated 26.02.2008

with direction not to let the workman join his duties. It has

been alleged by the union that the workman kept on turning

up at the duty place but he was not allowed to join the

duties and ultimately the charge sheet dated 24.09.2008

was issued. It is also alleged by the workman that the orders

passed by the Disciplinary Authority and Appellate

Authority are contrary to Rules and perverse, which also

¹Hkkx IIó[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % ekpZ 21] 2015@iQkYxqu 30] 1936

1363

amounts to unfair labour practice. Hence, the workman's

union has prayed that the punishment order dated

19.02.2009 and appellate order dated 31.07.2009 be cancelled

and the facility of three set facility pass may be revived.

5. The management of the Railways in their written

statement has rebutted the contentions of the workman

and has submitted that the punishment order was passed

perfectly in accordance with the Rules and Regulations of

the Indian Railways with proper application of mind. It has

further submitted that the charge sheet was issued under

the Railway Servants (Discipline & Conduct) Rules, 1968,

which is a minor punishment charge sheet for the

unauthorized absence of the workman. It is submitted that

the railway administration issued letter dated 25.02.2008

and 26.02.2008 for the purposes to get the workman

medically examined; but the workman refused to receive

the medical memo. It is also submitted by the management

that the workman moved an original application before

Central Administrative Tribunal, Lucknow which directed

the workman vide its order dated 16.04.2008 to accept the

medical memo and then he may be allowed to join;

accordingly, the workman received the medical memo and

under gone the medical examination. Accordingly it has

prayed that the claim of the workman's union be rejected

out rightly, without any relief to the workman concerned.

6. The workman's union has filed rejoinder; wherein

it has not brought any new fact and has just repeated the

averments already made by it in the statement of claim.

7. The parties have filed documentary evidence in

support of their respective claim. The union has examined

the workman; whereas the management has examined Shri

Rajesh Kumar, ADME, Varanasi in support of their case.

The parties cross-examined the witnesses of each other

and forwarded oral arguments.

8. The authorized representative of the workman's

union has submitted that the management did not allow

the workman to join the duties though he appeared before

them every day and thereafter issued minor penalty charge

sheet. He has contended that the impugned order dated

19.02.2009 and appellate order dated 31.07.2009 were passed

with ulterior motive and contrary to rules; hence liable to

be cancelled.

9. Per contra, the authorized representative of the

management has contended that the action of the

management is justified in view of unauthorized absence

of the workman; and he has rightly been given charge

sheet; and imposed minor punishment of withdrawal of

three set of facility pass. It is also contended by the

representative of the management that the union has not

disputed the procedure adopted in punishing the workman

but has rather alleged that the punishment order and

appellate orders are contrary to rules and perverse, which

has no legal sanctity. He has submitted that the orders

passed by the management of railway are just and legal

and needs no interference by this Tribunal.

10. I have given my thoughtful consideration to the

rival contentions of the authorized representatives of the

parties and scanned entire, evidence available on record.

The workman has prayed that the penalty order & appellate

order issued by the management be quashed being illegal

and he be given all benefits, which he had been deprived

of due to impugned orders. The workman has relied upon

letter dated 26.02.2008 of the Sr. Section Engineer, which

states, quoting letter dated 25.02.2008 of ADME (O&F),

Lucknow, that the workman has been ordered not to be

taken on duty for the reasons that he refused to receive the

'Medical Memo'. It is pleaded by the management that the

workman received the 'Medical Memo' in wake of order

dated 16.04.2008 of the CAT, Lucknow in O.A. No. 117/

2008. Accordingly, the workman was charged with the

unauthorized absence from 26.02.2008 to 30.04.2008.

11. It is the case of the workman's union is that the

penalty order dated 19.02.009 and appellate order dated

31.07.2009 are perverse and contrary to Rules; but has not

made any specific pleading to the effect as to how it was

perverse and violated which rule etc. The union has not

disputed the procedure adopted by the management in

punishing the workman not has made an allegation to the

effect that he had not been afforded proper opportunity to

defend himself while passing penalty order. However, the

workman's union has prayed to quash the penalty order

dated 19.02.2009 and appellate order dated 31.07.2009 being

perverse.

12. Section 11 A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947

reads as under:—

"11A. Powers of Labour Courts, Tribunal and

National Tribunals to give appropriate relief in case

of discharge or dismissal of workmen.—Where an

industrial dispute relating to the discharge or dismissal

of a workman has been referred to a Labour Court,

Tribunal or National Tribunal for adjudication and,

in the course of the adjudication proceedings, the

Labour Court, Tribunal of National Tribunal, as the

case may be, is satisfied that the order of discharge

or dismissal was not justified, it may, be its award,

set aside the order of discharge or dismissal and

direct re-instatement of the workman on such terms

and conditions, if any, as it thinks fit, or give such

other relief to the workman including the award of

any lesser punishment in lieu of discharge or

dismissal as the circumstances of the case may

require:

Provided that in any proceeding under this section

the Labour Court, Tribunal or National Tribunal, as

the case may be, shall rely only on the materials on

record and shall not take any fresh evidence in

relation to the matter."

1364

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

A bare reading of the section makes it clear that

Section 11 A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 has been

enacted to empower the Labour Court to interfere with the

management's decision to dismiss, discharge or terminate

the services of a workman. In respect of other punishments,

it has been observed and consistently held by the Courts

that the tribunal does not have power to substitute its

own judgment for that of the management. Hon'ble Apex

Court in South Indian Cashew Factories Workers Union

vs. Kerala State Cashew Development Corpn. Ltd. (2006)

5 SCC 201 made the following observations:

"Section 11-A of the Act gives ample power to the

Labour Court to re-appraise the evidence adduced

in the enquiry and also sit in appeal over the decision

of the employer in imposing punishment. Section 11-

A of the Industrial Disputes Act is only applicable in

the case of dismissal or discharge of a workman as

clearly mentioned in the section itself."

13. Whether similar power can be exercised by the

Labour Court where the punishment award is neither

dismissal, punishment or retrenchment? This issue has been

considered by Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in Allahabad

Bank vs. Presiding Officer, Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal-

cum-Labour Court, Kanpur & Others 2012 (133) FLR 1098;

where it has been observed that:

"Section 11-A empowers the Labour Court to re-

appreciate the evidence and correct the judgment, in

case of discharge, dismissal and termination, while

in case of other punishments, no such power is

vested with the Labour Court".

14. In the instant case the workman's union has

disputed the penalty order dated 19.02.2009 and appellate

order dated 31.07.2009 on the basis of their perversity; but

could not make any inference of perversity in his pleadings.

Thus, the allegation of the workman's union regarding

impugned orders is vague. The evidence relied upon the

workman itself goes to show that firstly, the workman did

not accept the 'Medical Memo', resultantly; the

management did not allow the workman to join the duties

w.e.f. 26.02.2008. When the workman accepted the 'Medical

Memo' at the order of the Hon'ble CAT, Lucknow Bench,

Lucknow he was charged with the unauthorized absence

from 26.02.2008 to 30.04.2008. There is also no evidence

from the workman's union that the workman moved any

leave application for the period 26.02.2008 to 30.04.2008,

therefore, the management rightly treated the said period

being unathorizedly absent.

15. Accordingly, in view of the above decision of

Hon'ble Supreme Court, I am of opinion that the penalty

order dated 19.02.2009 and appellate order dated 31.07.2009

need not to be interfered by this Tribunal, particularly when

the workman's union has not come with specific pleadings

of perversity and violation of Rules. Moreover, as per the

record and evidence, there appears no illegality or perversity

in the impugned order dated 19.02.2009. Hence, the reference

is adjudicated against the workman's union; and as such, I

come to the conclusion that the workman, Shri

Syedurrahaman is not entitled to any relief.

16. The reference under adjudication is answered

accordingly.

17. Award as above.

The claimant had initially joined the H.S.B.C Bank on

02.12. 1985 on a contract agreement as a computer shift

operator (non-executive contract officer). The claimant was

continuous working with the management till 25.11.2002.

The claimant assails the vindictive and coercive action of

the bank in forcing him to resign in the guise of voluntary

resignation tendered. The Bank accepted his resignation

and it released him from the services of the bank on

31.12.2002. He raised an industrial dispute before the

Conciliation Officer. Since the Bank contested the claim,

conciliation proceedings ended into a failure. On

consideration of failure report, submitted by the

Conciliation Officer, the appropriate Government referred

the dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication, vide order

No. L-12012/166/2006-IR(B-I), New Delhi dated 11.01.2007

with following terms:

"Whether the resignation from service tendered w.e.f.

25.11.2002 by Shri Updesh Sehgal, Ex-Comp. Operator

is voluntarily or under coercion, to what relief the

workman is entitled to and from which date?"

2. In his claim statement, the claimant pleads that he

joined the bank on 02.12.1985 on contract agreement as

computer shift operator and he was confirmed in the post

by permament absorption in the service in the year 1990.

He served continuously with the bank between 02.12.1985

to 25.12.2002. The Bank forcing him, to resign the services

of the bank w.e.f. 25. 11.2002. The bank informed him on

17.12.2002 that his resignation was being accepted and till

date there was no further communication from the bank as

to the formal acceptance of his resignation which he was

forced to submit on 25.11.2002.

3. Claim has been demurred by the bank pleading

that the claimant voluntarily resigned from the services of

the bank in 2002. The claimant who worked as an officer

the bank cannot invoke the jurisdiction of the Tribunal by

claiming himself to be a workman. The claimant application

for conciliation was made in the year 2006, nearly after 4

years passed his voluntarily resignation from the services

of the bank and petition is clearly time barred and as an

afterthought with ulterior motives which is done by the

claimant.

4. During the pendency of this dispute Shri Updesh

Sehgal expired on 09.10.2012 leaving behind the following

heirs, namely Mrs. Shashi Sehgal, wife, Mr. Sandeep Sehgal,

son, and Ms. Richa Seghal, daughter.

5. Smt. Shashi sehgal wife of Late Shri Updesh Seghal

made a statement to the effect that she was willing to accept

Rs. 15,00000/- (Rupees fifteen lac only) from the HSBC

bank towards full and final settlement as per memorandum

of settlement dated 27.01.2015, which taken on the record.

He announced that on payment of Rs. 15,00000/- to her, her

husband claim would stand satisfied, Ms. Nidhima

AWARD

1. Applicant Shri Santosh Kumar has submitted a

claim statement dated 28.05.2013 before this Tribunal,

stating therein that he was appointed as Driver Box

Handling under the subordination of opposite Party No. 2

i.e. Divisional Railway Manager, Northern Railway,

Hazratganj, Lucknow. The post, to which he was appointed,

is also known as Box Porter. As per the claim statement, the

said post was lying vacant permanently, it was an important

post and the train could not move without loading the box

in the engine of the train. Applicant has alleged that the

earlier Box Porter has retired and he was appointed on his

place. After being appointed the said workman used to

perform his duties as per the directions of the opposite

Party No. 1 & 2 but in order to avoid the legal consequences

of the Labour Laws and other liabilities, opposite Party

No. 3 was disputed by opposite Party No. 2. The attendance

of the applicant was procured on the register, and salary

was paid accordingly. In order to ensure convenient excess

to the railway station and for smooth functioning, the

opposite Party No. 2 used to issue the gate pass as directed

by opposite Party No. 2, which was taken back at the end

of year, and a fresh gate pass was provided, so that evidence

might not be available there causing any inconvenience to

the opposite Party No. 1 & 2.

2. It has been pleaded in the claim statement that the

applicant was appointed on 01.09.2003 and was continuous

in service till 25.04.2009, and without any prior notice his

services were terminated on 25.04.2009. The applicant was

forced to work for 8 hours and salary paid was very much

insufficient. It has also been alleged that on making any

demand the applicant was threatened for his dismissal,

and was also abused. Regarding payment of insufficient

salary, without any weekly off, no deductions regarding

Provident Fund and not being provided with any medical

facility, in case of any accident; several oral and written

complaint were made to opposite Party No. 1 & 2 but

grievances were not redressed. Then applicant moved

Labour Enforcement Officer who enquired into the matter

and found truth in the complaint submitted before him.

3. The applicant has stressed that for being in service

since 01.09.2003 up to 25.04.2009 i.e. about 5 years, the

applicant should have been confirmed on his post, because

as per the rules continuous service for 120 days results

into temporary status, thereafter the applicant should have

been allotted a permanent post after his due screening in

accordance with the said Railway Appeal and Disciplinary

Rules 1968. The applicant has also stated that if there was

any complaint then he should have been served charge

sheet. The services of the workman were terminated illegally

without any justification and another person was employed

on his pot. The applicant was required to work in 3 shifts,

and in each shift he had to perform loading and unloading

of at least 50 boxes during winter, summer and rainy seasons

as well. He was also required to work in dark nights. The

applicant has submitted that he was not paid 30 days salary

before termination of his job while it was the responsbility

of opposite Party No. 1 and 2. The applicant has

emphasized that at the time of payment officers subordinate

to opposite Party No. 2 ued to remain present there.

4. As per the claim statement it has also been

mentioned that after being dismissed on oral direction,

several complaints were made, Case No. LKO 7(1—13)/

2011 was filed before Regional Labour Commissioner (C),

Lucknow the case was heared on 14.02.2011 where opposite

parties were also present, but the matter could not be settled

amicably and Regional Labour Commissioner (C), Lucknow

advised the applicant to move before CGIT-cum-Labour

Court, Lucknow. The applicant has alleged that his removal

from service is improper, illegal, unjustified, malafide and

against the prevalent Labour Laws.

5. The said workman has prayed to set aside the

order dated 25.04.2009 whereby his services were

terminated. He has also requested for his reinstatement in

continuous service with all the back wages and other due

benefits along with cost of the proceedings.

6. The applicant has filed photo copy of the said

directions dt. 29.08.2011 by Regional Labour Commissioner

(C), Lucknow as Annexure 1/5 along with photo copy of

postal receipts. A separate application for condonation of

delay has also been moved by Santosh Kumar.

7. As per the directions of the then Presiding Officer,

CGIT-cum-Labour Court, Lucknow the Industrial Dispute

was registered and notices were issued to the opposite

parties for filing written statement along with relevant

documents.

8. On behalf of the opposite Party No. 1 & 2 written

statement M-7 dated 10.02.2013 was filed before this

Tribunal. The facts mentioned in the written statement and

the specifric averments emphasize that the claim statement

is absolutely false and fabricated without any substantive

evidence. The opposite parties have also pleaded that no

proof regarding appointment letter, pay slip or working etc.

had been submitted by the said applicant. The opposite

parties have submitted that contract was given to M/s

Sahid Faizan Ahmad & Brothers, Faizabad opposite Party

No. 3 by the railway administration and there was no

relationship of employee and employer between the

applicant and opposite Party No. 1 & 2.

9. It has also been pleaded in the written statement

that the railway administration has got might to execute

the contract so as to make out day to day work at railway

stations. It has also been pointed out by opposite Party

¹Hkkx IIó[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % ekpZ 21] 2015@iQkYxqu 30] 1936

1367

No. 1 & 2 that the applicant/workman has not mentioned

the name of railway station where he was working no said

gate pas has been submitted before the Tribunal. Since the

applicant was never engaged by the opposite Party No. 1

& 2 so there was no need for any notice prior to termination

of services as alleged in the claim statement. It has also

been emphasized by opposite parties No. 1 & 2 that the

workman can not seek the benefit of Railway Establishment

Rules or any other statutory railway rules because the

applicant is not a railway employee.

10. The opposite parties 1 & 2 have also submitted

that there was no violation of any Labour Law and there

was no unfair labour practice, the railway administration

works as per the existing rules and other constitutional

provisions as well as Labour laws. The oppposite parties 1

& 2 have stated that the relief sought is ambiguous and

can not be given by the Tribunal, per contra it has been

emphasized by opposite Party No. 1 & 2 that the relief

requested is misconceived and liable to be rejected in the

interest of justice.

11. After filing of written statement before this

Tribunal by the opposite party, sufficient opportunity was

to the workman for filing rejoinder. Although several

opportunities were given to the applicant, no rejoinder was

filed. Moreover on 06.08.2014, learned Authorized

Representative of applicant made a endorsement in writing

on the claim statement as "NOT PRESSED". The applicant

expressed his desire not to pursue with his claim. After

specific denial of the averments made in the claim statement,

there was no rebuttal or rejoinder either in the written form

or oral by the applicant/workman. Further the endorsement

dated 06.08.2014 made on the claim statement, clearly shows

that the workman does not want to further proceed with

the case.

12. Under the circumstances and the facts mentioned

herein, no relief is legally required to be given to the

applicant/workman Shri Santosh Kumar. The reference under

adjudication is answered as NO CLAIM AWARD.

13. Award as above.

AWARD

Passed on this 13th day of February 2015

1. As per letter dated 6-8-96 by the Government of

India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under

Section-10 of I.D. Act, 1947 as per Notification No. L-41012/

26/92/IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

"Whether the action of the Management of DRM,

S.E. Railway, Bilaspur in terminating the services of

Shri D. Venkatraman is legal and justified? If not, to

what relief is the workman entitled to?"

2. After receiving reference, notices were issued to

the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim

at page 2/1 to 2/4. However it does not bear signature of

the counsel for Ist party or workman himself. Case of Ist

party is that he was appointed as Gangman on 19-2-90. No

order in writing was issued to him. His services were orally

terminated from 14-5-90. Workman further submits that he

was given employment. He was working without break,

without assigning any reasons. Workman was prevented

from carrying duties. There cannot be oral order of

termination. In absence of termination order in writing,

workman is deemed to be in service. He was orally informed

about termination of his service is for using incorrect casual

cards. That causal card was not condition president for

employment. On said reasons, his services could not be

terminated. Despite workman repeatedly approached, he

was not provided employment. He was not permitted to

1368

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

work. It amounts to retrenchment. Other similarly situated

employees are continued. That termination of his service

is violative of Article 14 of the constitution. Termination of

his service in violation of law as such illegal. He was not

served with any chargesheet, show cause notice. DE was

not conducted against him. That he is covered as workman

under ID Act. Termination of his service is in violation of

Section 25-F of ID Act. Action of the management is arbitrary

and illegal and deserves to be quashed. His services are

terminated without giving opportunity for his defence is

violative of Article 311 of the constitution. Many employees

similarly situated filed Original Application No. 189, 197,

204 of 1986 & 11, 14, 17, 32, 70 of 1987. The termination of

services was found illegal. Workman is similarly situated.

His services are terminated illegally. On such ground,

workman prays for his reinstatement with back wages.

3. IInd party filed Written Statement at page 4/1 to 4/

6 denying claim of workman. It is submitted that workman

had worked as casual Gangman for 2 1/2 months while

giving opportunity to him, it was clearly indicated in

appointment order if working certificate/class certificate

and other documents submitted by workman found false

at any time during engagement, his services would be

terminated automatically without notice. That the certificate

produced by workman were found false. Therefore his

services were terminated. The reasons for termination were

given in order of termination dated 10-5-90. It is reiterated

that the workman was given appointment for the post of

casual Gangman on conditions stated above. As the

certificate produced by workman were found false, his

services were terminated automatically without notice. No

question arise of giving opportunity to explain. Above

contentions are reiterated by IInd party. It is submitted

that the workman has not acquired status of temporary

employee.

4. That the applicant had submitted application for

appointment to the post of Gangman. He indicated period

of his previous service and also produced certificate in

support of his claim. Such certificate was found false.

Therefore workman was dismissed from service. On such

ground, IInd party submits that claim of Ist party cannot

be accepted. W.r.t. filing original application before CAT, it

is submitted that Hon'ble CAT observed that matter relating

to casual labours does not fall within the jurisdiction. The

contentions of workman in that regard are not tenable.

5. Considering pleadings on record, the points which

arise for my consideration and determination are as under.

My findings are recorded against each of them for the

reasons as below:—

(i)

Whether the action of the

management of DRM,

In Affirmative

S.E. Railway, Bilaspur in

terminating the services of Shri

D. Venkataraman is legal and

justified?

(ii) If not, what relief the

Workman is not

workman is entitled to?"

entitled to any

relief.

REASONS

6. Though workman has raised dispute challenging

termination of his service for violation of Section 25-F of

ID Act, workman has not participated in reference

proceeding. He failed to adduce evidence in support of his

claim. Evidence of workman is closed on 19-5-2011. Despite

repeated chances granted, IInd party also failed to adduce

evidence. For failure of both parties in adducing evidence,

the dispute could not be adjudicated on merits. For above

reasons. No dispute award is passed as under:—

AWARD

Passed on 24.2.2015

Central Government vide Notification No. L-12012/

32/2013 IR (B-II) Dated 27.5.2013, by exercising its powers

under Section 10 Sub-section (1) Clause (d) and Sub-

Section (2-A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947

(hereinafter referred to as 'Act') has referred the following

Industrial dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal:—

"Whether the action of the management of Punjab

and Sind Bank, Jalandhar in terminating the services

of Sh. Amrik Singh S/o Sh. Sucha Singh w.e.f. 1.8.2012

who was engaged by Punjab and Sind Bank through

District Defence Service Welfare office, Jalandhar is

just, valid and legal? If not, then to what relief the

workman is entitled for the what directions are

necessary in the matter?"

In response to the notice, the workaman appeared

and submitted statement of claim pleading that he is an Ex-

Serviceman and got registered his name with District Sainik

Welfare Office, Jalandhar. That respondent No. 1 to 4

wanted the services of the security guards and they

approached Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office

i.e. respondent No. 5 for the purpose. The workman

appeared in the interview and was engaged as a security

guard in the year 2007. He was posted in various branches

of the bank and continuously worked till 31.7.2012. His

services were illegally terminated on 1.8.2012 without

serving any notice or charge-sheet with some ulterior

motive. It is further pleaded that the persons junior to him

were also retained in service and even new hands were

appointed and as such the termination of the services of

the workman are illegal and he be reinstated in service with

full back wages.

Respondent No. 1 to 4 contested the claim and filed

written statement pleading that security guards are

permitted by the Central Government to be engaged

through contractors. The workman was appointed by the

Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office and deputed

as Guard in the bank. The workman used to get the salary

from the Deputy Director who was respondible for

compulsory deductions. Deputy Director, District Sainik

Welfare Office has the supervision and control over the

workman who was exercising disciplinary control as well

section of leave. The workman was an employee of the

District Sainik Welfare Office. It is specifically denied that

there was any relationship of employer and employee

between the workman and the respondent bank. The District

Sainik Welfare Office was at liberty to depute any Ex-

servicemen as security guard on any day and the bank did

not maintain any attendance record and as such, the fact

that worman worked continuously for 240 days was also

denied.

Parties were given opportunity to lead their evidence.

In support of its case the workman appeared in the

witness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim petition. He has also placed on record

certain documents Exhibit W1 to W11.

On the other hand the responodent management has

examined Sh. Sandeep Singh who filed his affidavit along

with documents Exhibit M1 to M8.

I have heard Sh. Brij Mohan, counsel for the workman

and Sh. J.S. Sathi, counsel for the management.

It was vehemently contended by Mr. J.S. Sathi, learned

counsel for the management that workman is in fact an

employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office who used to

depute him as security Guard with the bank and it was the

District Sainik Welfare Office who used to mark his presence

and pay him salary and was exericising all supervision and

control over the workman and being so, there was no

relationship of an employer and employee between the

parties; and the workman is not entitled to any relief.

I have considered the contention of the learned

counsel.

I may be added at the outset that the workman stated

in the statement of claim that he continuously worked with

the bank from the year 2007 to 31.7.2012, (the workman

failed to mention the date on which he joined the duty in

his claim statement as well as in his affidavit). Thus,

according to the workman he worked with the bank from

the year 2007 to 31.7.2012. This fact is not specifically denied

by the bank in the wirtten statement and rather pleaded in

para 4 of the written statement that workman was deputed

as Guard by the District Sainik Welfare Office. Again in a

Joint reply to para 7 to 11, the bank again admitted that

workman was deputed as guard in the bank but by the

District Sainik Welfare Office. In the circumstances, when

there is no specific denial regarding the period during which

the workman worked with the bank, it is to be held that he

worked with the bank as Security Guard from the year 2007

to 31.7.2012.

Now the question is whether he was employed by

the bank or was an employee of the District Sainik Welfare

1370

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Office, Jalandhar as pleaded by the respondent Bank. The

workman as well as the respondent bank has placed on

record certain documents in support of their respective

claims. The respondent bank is public sector undertaking

and there is no denial of the fact that its business is

conducted as per rules and regulations and that too in

writing. But the respondent did not produce any alleged

contract entered into between the bank and the District

Sainik Welfare Office and Sandeep Singh, examined by the

bank, specifically stated that there was no written contract

entered into between the parties. It does not appeal to

mind that the bank engaged the service of security guards

without entering into written contract with the District

Sainik Welfare Office. The post of security guard is an

important post being responsible for keeping the security

of the bank and its staff and such an assignment cannot be

given to a person without any written agreement. It is not

the case of the bank that it orally agreed with the District

Sainik Welfare Office to provide the services of the security

guards. Thus, it cannot be said that there was any contract

entered into between the District Sainik Welfare Office and

the bank for availing the services of the workman as security

guard.

The fact that whether the workman is an employee of

the District Sainik Welfare Office stands clinched from the

letter dated 31.10.2007 Exhibit M8 relied upon by the

management itself, written by the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar to the Manager, Security of the respondent

bank and its relevant portion reads as follows:—

"No. 3377874P Ex Nk Amrik Singh S/o Sh. Sucha Singh

resident of Village H.No.169, Village- Birring, PO

Jalandhar Cantt, Distt. Jalandhar has been sponsored

for the post of Security Guard. If any vacancy is

existed in your bank, you are requested to adjust the

said individual."

Thus, this letter itself shows that the workman was

not selected by the District Sainik Welfare Office but it

simply sponsored his name to be adjusted in the bank.

Workman has pleaded in pars 2 of the statement of

claim that the bank got executed an affidavit from him at

the time of his appointment and this fact was denied by the

respondent bank in the written statement. But the

management itself has placed on record a photocopy of

the affidavit Exhibit M5 wherein, it is specifically mentioned

by the workman that he was appointed on temporary basis

as security guard in the Punjab and Sind Bank and bank

can terminate his services after serving one month's notice

and 'similarly he would quit the job after giving one month's

notice to the bank. This document which is relied upon by

the management further establish that the workman was

not an employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office but

was of the respondent bank. If District Sainik Welfare Office

has intervened at one stage or the other for engaging the

services of the workman, it cannot be said that he was in

fact an employee of the said Board.

The bank has taken a specific plea that the workman

was paid his salary through the District Sainik Welfare

Office. The bank is in possession of the record regarding

disbursement of salary. But it did not choose to produce

the same and therefore adverse inference is to be taken

that the salary was not paid to the workman by the District

Sainik Welfare Office but by the bank.

Considering all the circumstances stated above, it

can be safely said that the workman was an employee of

the bank. There is no dispute that the services of the

workman were terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012 and that too

without serving any notice or retrenchment compensation.

Therefore the termination of the services of the workman

by the bank are not legal and justified.

The next question which needs determination is

whether the workman is to be reinstated in service or be

paid some compensation.

There is no dispute that the workman was appointed

by not following any rules and regulations or the procedure

contained therein. Rather it is not clear what method was

adopted by the bank to avail the services of the workman.

Since the appointment of the workman as security guard is

not as per law, he cannot be ordered to be reinstated in

service. The only alternative is to pay him compensation.

Usually, the workman is entitled to one month's notice pay

and 15 days' pay for every completed year of service as

compensation but considering the entirety of the

circumstances that services of the workman were abruptly

terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012, a lump sum amount of Rs. 2 lac is

adjudged just compensation which is payable to the

workman.

Before concluding the award, it may be added that a

novel method was adopted by the bank officers to engage

the service of the workman as a security guard and again

his services were terminated without following the

provisions of law. Therefore the bank officers who engaged

the services and who terminated the services in an illegal

manner are responsible for the loss caused to the bank

who deals with public money. Being so, the bank is at

liberty to recover the said amount being payable to the

workman from the said officers in due course of law.

In result, the reference is answered in favour of the

workman holding that the termination of the services of

the workman by the respondent bank is not legal and valid

and he is entitled to recover Rs. 2 lacks from respondent

No. 1 to 4. The respondent bank shall pay the compensation

within two months of the publication of the award failing

which the workman shall be entitled to the interest @9 per

cent per annum from the date of the award till realization.

However the bank authority can recover the amount from

the persons responsible for making the appointment

without following the rules and regulations and then

terminating the services in violation of the law. Let hard

and soft copy of the award be sent to the Central

Government for information and further necessary action.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

In support of its case the workman appeared in the

witness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim petition. He has also placed on record

certain documents Exhibit W1 to W12.

On the other hand the responodent management has

examined Sh. Sandeep Singh who filed his affidavit along

with documents Exhibit M1 to M7.

I have heard Sh. Brij Mohan, counsel for the workman

and Sh. J.S. Sathi, counsel for the management.

It was vehemently contended by Mr.J.S. Sathi, learned

counsel for the management that workman is in fact an

employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office who used to

depute him as security Guard with the bank and it was the

District Sainik Welfare Office who used to mark his presence

and pay him salary and was exericising all supervision and

control over the workman and being so, there was no

relationship of an employer and employee between the

parties; and the workman is not entitled to any relief.

I have considered the contention of the learned

counsel.

I may be added at the outset that the workman stated

in the statement of claim that he continuously worked with

the bank from the year 2005 to 31.7.2012, (the workman

failed to mention the date on which he joined the duty in

his claim statement as well as in his affidavit). Thus,

according to the workman he worked with the bank from

the year 2005 to 31.7.2012. This fact is not specifically denied

by the bank in the wirtten statement and rather pleaded in

para 4 of the written statement that workman was deputed

as Guard by the District Sainik Welfare Office. Again in a

Joint reply to para 7 to 11, the bank again admitted that

workman was deputed as guard in the bank but by the

District Sainik Welfare Office. In the circumstances, when

there is no specific denial regarding the period during which

the workman worked with the bank, it is to be held that he

worked with the bank as Security Guard from the year 2005

to 31.7.2012.

Now the question is whether he was employed by

the bank or was an employee of the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar as pleaded by the respondent Bank. The

workman as well as the respondent bank has placed on

record certain documents in support of their respective

claims. The respondent bank is public sector undertaking

and there is no denial of the fact that its business is

conducted as per rules and regulations and that too in

writing. But the respondent did not produce any alleged

contract entered into between the bank and the District

Sainik Welfare Office and Sandeep Singh, examined by the

bank, specifically stated that there was no written contract

entered into between the parties. It does not appeal to

mind that the bank engaged the service of security guards

without entering into written contract with the District

Sainik Welfare Office. The post of security guard is an

important post being responsible for keeping the security

of the bank and its staff and such an assignment cannot be

given to a person without any written agreement. It is not

the case of the bank that it orally agreed with the District

Sainik Welfare Office to provide the services of the security

guards. Thus, it cannot be said that there was any contract

entered into between the District Sainik Welfare Office and

the bank for availing the services of the workman as security

guard.

Though the respondent bank did not file documents

relating to the workman but it did file a letter written by the

District Sainik Welfare Office, Exhibit M6 showing that he

simply sponsored the name of one Kulwant Singh for the

post of Security Guard. Again the bank has placed on

record two affidavits of Shaadi Lal, Exhibit M5/1 and

Sukhwant Singh, Exhibit M5/2 in which the appointees has

mentioned that the bank can terminate the services after

giving one month's notice and similarly the appointee can

leave the service after serving a similar notice. These three

documents do not relate to the present workman, but it has

been placed on the file by the bank itself showing the

practice being followed in the bank. These documents

clearly show that District Sainik Welfare Office simply

sponsored the name of the persons to be posted as Security

Guard and was not the appointing authority and in the

affidavits taken from some of the appointees shows that it

was the bank who was to terminate the services. Thus

these documents probalize the case of the workman that

he was in fact appointed by the respondent bank and he

was not employed by the District Sainik Welfare Office,

Jalandhar.

The bank has taken a specific plea that the workman

was paid his salary through the District Sainik Welfare

Office. The bank is in possession of the record regarding

disbursement of salary. But it did not choose to produce

the same and therefore adverse inference is to be taken

that the salary was not paid to the workman by the District

workman were terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012 and that too

without serving any notice or retrenchment compensation.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

In response to the notice, the workman appeared

and submitted statement of claim pleading that he is an

Ex-Serviceman and got registered his name with District

Sainik Welfare Office, Jalandhar. That respondent No.1 to

4 wanted the services of the security guards and they

approached Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office

i.e. respondent No.5 for the purpose. The workman

appeared in the interview and was engaged as a security

guard in May, 2007. He was posted in various branches of

the bank and continuously worked till 31.7.2012. His

services were illegally terminated on 1.8.2012 without

serving any notice or charge-sheet with some ulterior

motive. It is further pleaded that the persons junior to him

were also retained in service and even new hands were

appointed and as such the termination of the services of

the workman are illegal and he be reinstated in service

with full back wages.

Respondent No.1 to 4 contested the claim and filed

written statement pleading that security guards are

permitted by the Central Government to be engaged

through contractors. The workman was appointed by the

Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office and deputed

as Guard in the bank. The workman used to get the salary

from the Deputy Director who was responsible for

compulsory deductions. Deputy Director, District Sainik

Welfare Office has the supervision and control over the

workman who was exercising disciplinary control as well

sanction of leave. The workman was an employee of the

District Sainik Welfare Office. It is specifically denied that

there was any relationship of employer and employee

between the workman and the respondent bank. The

District Sainik Welfare Office was at liberty to depute any

Ex-servicemen as security guard on any day and the bank

did not maintain any attendance record and as such, the

fact that workman worked continuously for 240 days was

also denied.

Parties were given opportunity to lead their evidence.

In support of its case the workman appeared in the

witness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim petition. He has also placed on record

certain documents Exhibit W1 to W11.

On the other hand the respondent management has

examined Sh. Sandeep Singh who filed his affidavit along

with documents Exhibit M1 to M6.

I have heard Sh. Brij Mohan, counsel for the

workman and Sh. J.S. Sathi, counsel for the management.

It was vehemently contended by Mr. J.S. Sathi,

learned counsel for the management that workman is in

fact an employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office who

used to depute him as security Guard with the bank and it

was the District Sainik Welfare Office who used to mark

his presence and pay him salary and was exercising all

supervision and control over the workman and being so,

there was no relationship of an employer and employee

between the parties; and the workman is not entitled to

any relief.

I have considered the contention of the learned

counsel.

I may be added at the outset that the workman

stated in the statement of claim that he continuously

worked with the bank from May, 2007 to 31.7.2012, (the

workman failed to mention the date on which he joined the

duty in his claim statement as well as in his affidavit).

Thus, according to the workman he worked with the bank

from May, 2007 to 31.7.2012. This fact is not specifically

denied by the bank in the written statement and rather

pleaded in para 4 of the written statement that workman

was deputed as Guard by the District Sainik Welfare Office.

Again in a joint reply to para 7 to 11, the bank again

admitted that workman was deputed as guard in the bank

but by the District Sainik Welfare Office. In the

circumstances, when there is no specific denial regarding

the period during which the workman worked with the

bank, it is to be held that he worked with the bank as

Security Guard from the year 2007 to 31.7.2012.

Now the question is whether he was employed

by the bank or was an employee of the District Sainik

Welfare Office, Jalandhar as pleaded by the respondent

bank. The workman as well as the respondent bank has

placed on record certain documents in support of their

respective claims. The respondent bank is a public sector

undertaking and there is no denial of the fact that its

business is conducted as per rules and regulations and

that too in writing. But the respondent did not produce

any alleged contract entered into between the bank and

the District Sainik Welfare Office and Sandeep Singh,

examined by the bank, specifically stated that there was

no written contract entered into between the parties. It

does not appeal to mind that the bank engaged the service

of security guards without entering into written contract

with the District Sainik Welfare Office. The post of security

guard is an important post being responsible for keeping

the security of the bank and its staff and such an

assignment cannot be given to a person without any written

agreement. It is not the case of the bank that it orally

agreed with the District Sainik Welfare Office to provide

the services of the security guards. Thus, it cannot be

said that there was any contract entered into between the

District Sainik Welfare Office and the bank for availing the

services of the workman as security guard.

The fact that whether workman is an employee of

the bank or of the District Sainik Welfare Office stand

clinched from the copy of the affidavit, Exhibit M5 placed

on the file by the management itself. It is clearly mentioned

therein that the bank can terminate the services of the

workman after giving him one month’s notice and similarly,

the workman can leave the job after serving the notice.

without following the rules and regulations and then

...Respondents

This document leaves no doubt that the workman was in

fact an employee of the bank and not of the District Sainik

Welfare Office, Jalandhar.

The bank has taken a specific plea that the workman

was paid his salary through the District Sainik Welfare

Office. The bank is in possession of the record regarding

disbursement of salary. But it did not choose to produce

the same and therefore adverse inference is to be taken

that the salary was not paid to the workman by the District

Sainik Welfare Office but by the bank.

Considering all the circumstances stated above, it

can be safely said that the workman was an employee of

the bank. There is no dispute that the services of the

workman were terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012 and that too

without serving any notice or retrenchment compensation.

Therefore the termination of the services of the workman

by the bank are not legal and justified.

The next question which needs determination is

whether the workman is to be reinstated in service or be

paid some compensation.

There is no dispute that the workman was appointed

by not following any rules and regulations or the procedure

contained therein. Rather it is not clear what method was

adopted by the bank to avail the services of the workman.

Since the appointment of the workman as security guard

is not as per law, he cannot be ordered to be reinstated in

service. The only alternative is to pay him compensation.

Usually, the workman is entitled to one month’s notice

pay and 15 days’ pay for every completed year of service

as compensation but considering the entirety of the

circumstances that services of the workman were abruptly

terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012, a lump sum amount of Rs.2 lac is

adjudged just compensation which is payable to the

workman.

Before concluding the award, it may be added that a

novel method was adopted by the bank officers to engage

the services of the workman as a security guard and again

his services were terminated without following the

provisions of law. Therefore the bank officers who

engaged the services and who terminated the services in

an illegal manner are responsible for the loss caused to

the bank who deals with public money. Being so, the bank

is at liberty to recover the said amount being payable to

the workman from the said officers in due course of law.

In result, the reference is answered in favour of the

workman holding that the termination of the services of

the workman by the respondent bank is not legal and valid

and he is entitled to recover Rs.2 lacks from respondent

No.1 to 4. The respondent bank shall pay the compensation

within two months of the publication of the award failing

which the workman shall be entitled to the interest @9 per

cent per annum from the date of the award till realization.

However the bank authority can recover the amount from

the persons responsible for making the appointment

Central Government vide Notification No. L-12012/

under Section 10 sub-section (1) Clause (d) and sub-section

(2-A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter

referred to as 'Act') has referred the following Industrial

dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal:—

"Whether the action of the management of Punjab

and Sind Bank, Jalandhar in terminating the services

of Sh. Baljinder Singh S/o Sh. Mahinder Singh w.e.f.

1.8.2012 who was engaged by Punjab and Sind Bank

through District Defence Service Welfare Office,

Jalandhar is just, valid and legal? If not, then to what

relief the workman is entitled for and what directions

are necessary in the matter?"

In response to the notice, the workman appeared

and submitted statement of claim pleading that he is an Ex-

Serviceman and got registered his name with District Sainik

Welfare Office, Jalandhar. That respondent No. 1 to 4

wanted the services of the security guards and they

approached Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office

i.e. respondent No. 5 for the purpose. The workman

appeared in the interview and was engaged as a security

guard in the year 2009. He was posted in various branches

of the bank and continuously worked till 31.7.2012. His

services were illegally terminated on 1.8.2012 without

serving any notice or charge-sheet with some ulterior

motive. It is further pleaded that the persons junior to him

were also retained in service and even new hands were

appointed and as such the termination of the services of

the workman are illegal and he be reinstated in service with

full back wages.

Respondent No. 1 to 4 contested the claim and filed

written statement pleading that security guards are permitted

by the Central Government to be engaged through

contractors. The workman was appointed by the Deputy

Director, District Sainik Welfare Office and deputed as Guard

in the bank. The workman used to get the salary from the

Deputy Director who was respondible for compulsory

deductions. Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office

has the supervision and control over the workman who was

exercising disciplinary control as well section of leave. The

workman was an employee of the District Sainik Welfare

Office. It is specifically denied that there was any relationship

of employer and employee between the workman and the

respondent bank. The District Sainik Welfare Office was at

liberty to depute any Ex-servicemen as security guard on

any day and the bank did not maintain any attendance record

and as such, the fact that workman worked continuously for

240 days was also denied.

Parties were given opportunity to lead their evidence.

In support of its case the workman appeared in the

witness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim petition. He has also placed on record

certain documents Exhibit W1 to W11.

On the other hand the responodent management has

examined Sh. Sandeep Singh who filed his affidavit along

with documents Exhibit M1 to M7.

I have heard Sh. Brij Mohan, counsel for the workman

and Sh. J.S. Sathi, counsel for the management.

It was vehemently contended by Mr.J.S. Sathi,

Learned Counsel for the management that workman is in

fact an employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office who

used to depute him as security Guard with the bank and it

was the District Sainik Welfare Office who used to mark his

presence and pay him salary and was exericising all

supervision and control over the workman and being so,

there was no relationship of an employer and employee

between the parties; and the workman is not entitled to

any relief.

I have considered the contention of the Learned

Counsel.

I may be added at the outset that the workman stated

in the statement of claim that he continuously worked with

the bank from the year 2009 to 31.7.2012, (the workman

failed to mention the date on which he joined the duty in

his claim statement as well as in his affidavit). Thus,

according to the workman he worked with the bank from

the year 2009 to 31.7.2012. This fact is not specifically denied

by the bank in the wirtten statement and rather pleaded in

para 4 of the written statement that workman was deputed

as Guard by the District Sainik Welfare Office. Again in a

joint reply to para 7 to 11, the bank again admitted that

workman was deputed as guard in the bank but by the

District Sainik Welfare Office. In the circumstances, when

there is no specific denial regarding the period during which

the workman worked with the bank, it is to be held that he

worked with the bank as Security Guard from the year 2009

to 31.7.2012.

Now the question is whether he was employed by

the bank or was an employee of the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar as pleaded by the respondent Bank. The

workman as well as the respondent bank has placed on

record certain documents in support of their respective

claims. The respondent bank is public sector undertaking

and there is no denial of the fact that its business is

conducted as per rules and regulations and that too in

writing. But the respondent did not produce any alleged

contract entered into between the bank and the District

Sainik Welfare Office and Sandeep Singh, examined by the

¹Hkkx IIó[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % ekpZ 21] 2015@iQkYxqu 30] 1936

1377

bank, specifically stated that there was no written contract

entered into between the parties. It does not appeal to

mind that the bank engaged the service of security guards

without entering into between the parties. It does not appeal

to mind that the bank engaged the service of security

guards without entering into written contract with the

District Sainik Welfare Office. The post of security guard is

an important post being responsible for keeping the security

of the bank and its staff and such an assignment cannot be

given to a person without any written agreement. It is not

the case of the bank that it orally agreed with the District

Sainik Welfare Office to provide the services of the security

guards. Thus, it cannot be said that there was any contract

entered into between the District Sainik Welfare Office and

the bank for availing the services of the workman as security

guard.

Though the respondent bank did not file documents

relating to the workman but it did file a letter written by the

District Sainik Welfare Office, Exhibit M6 showing that he

simply sponsored the name of one Kulwant Singh for the

post of Security Guard. Again the bank has placed on

record two affidavits of Shaadi Lal, Exhibit M5/1 and

Sukhwant Singh, Exhibit M5/2 in which the appointees has

mentioned that the bank can terminate the services after

giving one month's notice and similarly the appointee can

leave the service after serving a similar notice. These three

documents do not relate to the present workman, but it has

been placed on the file by the bank itself showing the

practice being followed in the bank. These documents

clearly show that District Sainik Welfare Office simply

sponsored the name of the persons to be posted as Security

Guard and was not the appointing authority and in the

affidavits taken from some of the appointees and the same

shows that it was the bank who was to terminate the services.

Thus these documents probalize the case of the workman

that he was in fact appointed by the respondent bank and

he was not employed by the District Sainik Welfare Office,

Jalandhar.

The bank has taken a specific plea that the workman

was paid his salary through the District Sainik Welfare

Office. The bank is in possession of the record regarding

disbursement of salary. But it did not choose to produce

the same and therefore adverse inference is to be taken

that the salary was not paid to the workman by the District

Sainik Welfare Office but by the bank.

can be safely said that the workman was an employee of

the bank. There is no dispute that the services of the

workman were terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012 and that too

without serving any notice or retrenchment compensation.

Therefore the termination of the services of the workman

by the bank are not legal and justified.

The next question which needs determination is

whether the workman is to be reinstated in service or be

paid some compensation.

There is no dispute that the workman was appointed

by not following any rules and regulations or the procedure

contained therein. Rather it is not clear what method was

under Section 10 sub-section (1) Clause (d) and sub-

section (2-A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947

(hereinafter referred to as ‘Act’) has referred the following

Industrial dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal:-

“Whether the action of the management of Punjab

and Sind Bank, Jalandhar in terminating the services

of Sh. Gurdish Singh S/o Sh. Tara Singh w.e.f. 1.8.2012

who was engaged by Punjab and Sind Bank through

District Defence Service Welfare office, Jalandhar is

just, valid and legal? If not, then to what relief the

workman is entitled for and what directions are

necessary in the matter?”

In response to the notice, the workman appeared

and submitted statement of claim pleading that he is an

Ex-Serviceman and got registered his name with District

Sainik Welfare Office, Jalandhar. That respondent No.1 to

4 wanted the services of the security guards and they

approached Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office

i.e. respondent No.5 for the purpose. The workman

appeared in the interview and was engaged as a security

guard on 1st November, 2011. He was posted in various

branches of the bank and continuously worked till

31.7.2012. His services were illegally terminated on 1.8.2012

without serving any notice or charge-sheet with some

ulterior motive. It is further pleaded that the persons junior

to him were also retained in service and even new hands

were appointed and as such the termination of the services

of the workman are illegal and he be reinstated in service

with full back wages.

Respondent No.1 to 4 contested the claim and filed

written statement pleading that security guards are

permitted by the Central Government to be engaged

through contractors. The workman was appointed by the

Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office and deputed

as Guard in the bank. The workman used to get the salary

from the Deputy Director who was responsible for

compulsory deductions. Deputy Director, District Sainik

Welfare Office has the supervision and control over the

workman who was exercising disciplinary control as well

sanction of leave. The workman was an employee of the

District Sainik Welfare Office. It is specifically denied that

there was any relationship of employer and employee

between the workman and the respondent bank. The

District Sainik Welfare Office was at liberty to depute any

Ex-servicemen as security guard on any day and the bank

did not maintain any attendance record and as such, the

fact that workman worked continuously for 240 days was

also denied.

Parties were given opportunity to lead their evidence.

In support of its case the workman appeared in the

witness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim petition. He has also placed on record

certain documents Exhibit W1 to W12.

On the other hand the respondent management has

examined Sh. Sandeep Singh who filed his affidavit along

with documents Exhibit M1 to M7.

I have heard Sh. Brij Mohan, counsel for the

workman and Sh. J.S. Sathi, counsel for the management.

It was vehemently contended by Mr. J.S. Sathi,

learned counsel for the management that workman is in

fact an employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office who

used to depute him as security Guard with the bank and it

was the District Sainik Welfare Office who used to mark

his presence and pay him salary and was exercising all

supervision and control over the workman and being so,

there was no relationship of an employer and employee

between the parties; and the workman is not entitled to

any relief.

I have considered the contention of the learned

counsel.

I may be added at the outset that the workman stated

in the statement of claim that he continuously worked

with the bank from 1st November, 2011 to 31.7.2012. Thus,

according to the workman he worked with the bank from

1st November, 2011 to 31.7.2012. This fact is not

specifically denied by the bank in the written statement

and rather pleaded in para 4 of the written statement that

workman was deputed as Guard by the District Sainik

Welfare Office. Again in a joint reply to para 7 to 11, the

bank again admitted that workman was deputed as guard

in the bank but by the District Sainik Welfare Office. In

the circumstances, when there is no specific denial

regarding the period during which the workman worked

with the bank, it is to be held that he worked with the bank

as Security Guard from 1st November, 2011 to 31.7.2012.

Now the question is whether he was employed by

the bank or was an employee of the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar as pleaded by the respondent bank. The

workman as well as the respondent bank has placed on

record certain documents in support of their respective

claims. The respondent bank is a public sector undertaking

and there is no denial of the fact that its business is

conducted as per rules and regulations and that too in

writing. But the respondent did not produce any alleged

contract entered into between the bank and the District

Sainik Welfare Office and Sandeep Singh, examined by

the bank, specifically stated that there was no written

contract entered into between the parties. It does not

appeal to mind that the bank engaged the service of

security guards without entering into written contract with

the District Sainik Welfare Office. The post of security

guard is an important post being responsible for keeping

the security of the bank and its staff and such an

assignment cannot be given to a person without any written

agreement. It is not the case of the bank that it orally

agreed with the District Sainik Welfare Office to provide

the services of the security guards. Thus, it cannot be

said that there was any contract entered into between the

District Sainik Welfare Office and the bank for availing the

services of the workman as security guard.

Though the respondent bank did not file documents

relating to the workman but it did file a letter written by the

District Sainik Welfare Office, Exhibit M6 showing that he

simply sponsored the name of one Kulwant Singh for the

post of Security Guard. Again the bank has placed on

record two affidavits of Shaadi Lal, Exhibit M5/1 and

Sukhwant Singh, Exhibit M5/2 in which the appointees

has mentioned that the bank can terminate the services

after giving one month’s notice and similarly the appointee

can leave the service after serving a similar notice. These

three documents do not relate to the present workman,

but it has been placed on the file by the bank itself and

shows the practice being followed in the bank. These

documents clearly show that District Sainik Welfare Office

simply sponsored the name of the persons to be posted

as Security Guard and was not the appointing authority

and in the affidavits taken from some of the appointees

shows that it was the bank who was to terminate the

services. Thus these documents probalize the case of the

workman that he was in fact appointed by the respondent

bank and he was not employed by the District Sainik

Welfare Office, Jalandhar.

The bank has taken a specific plea that the workman

was paid his salary through the District Sainik Welfare

Office. The bank is in possession of the record regarding

disbursement of salary. But it did not choose to produce

the same and therefore adverse inference is to be taken

that the salary was not paid to the workman by the District

Sainik Welfare Office but by the bank.

Considering all the circumstances stated above, it

can be safely said that the workman was an employee of

the bank. There is no dispute that the services of the

workman were terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012 and that too

without serving any notice or retrenchment compensation.

Therefore the termination of the services of the workman

by the bank are not legal and justified.

The next question which needs determination is

whether the workman is to be reinstated in service or be

paid some compensation.

There is no dispute that the workman was appointed

by not following any rules and regulations or the procedure

contained therein. Rather it is not clear what method was

adopted by the bank to avail the services of the workman.

Since the appointment of the workman as security guard

is not as per law, he cannot be ordered to be reinstated in

service. The only alternative is to pay him compensation.

Usually, the workman is entitled to one month’s notice

pay and 15 days’ pay for every completed year of service

as compensation but considering the entirety of the

circumstances that services of the workman were abruptly

terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012, a lump sum amount of Rs.2 lac is

adjudged just compensation which is payable to the

workman.

Before concluding the award, it may be added that a

novel method was adopted by the bank officers to engage

the services of the workman as a security guard and again

1380

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

his services were terminated without following the

provisions of law. Therefore the bank officers who

engaged the services and who terminated the services in

an illegal manner are responsible for the loss caused to

the bank who deals with public money. Being so, the bank

is at liberty to recover the said amount being payable to

the workman from the said officers in due course of law.

In result, the reference is answered in favour of the

workman holding that the termination of the services of

the workman by the respondent bank is not legal and valid

and he is entitled to recover Rs.2 lacks from respondent

No.1 to 4. The respondent bank shall pay the compensation

within two months of the publication of the award failing

which the workman shall be entitled to the interest @9 per

cent per annum from the date of the award till realization.

However the bank authority can recover the amount from

the persons responsible for making the appointment

without following the rules and regulations and then

terminating the services in violation of the law. Let hard

and soft copy of the award be sent to the Central

Government for information and further necessary action.

AWARD

Passed on 24.2.2015

Central Government vide Notification No. L-12012/

25/2013 IR (B-II) Dated 28.5.2013, by exercising its powers

under Section 10 Sub-section (1) Clause (d) and Sub-

section (2-A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947

(hereinafter referred to as 'Act') has referred the following

Industrial dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal:—

"Whether the action of the management of Punjab

and Sind Bank, Jalandhar in terminating the services

of Sh. Kuldeep Singh S/o Sh. Jagat Singh w.e.f.

1.8.2012 who was engaged by Punjab and Sind Bank

through District Defence Service Welfare Office,

Jalandhar is just, valid and legal? If not, then to what

relief the workman is entitled for and what directions

are necessary in the matter?"

In response to the notice, the workaman appeared

and submitted statement of claim pleading that he is an Ex-

Serviceman and got registered his name with District Sainik

Welfare Office, Jalandhar. That respondent No. 1 to 4

wanted the services of the security guards and they

approached Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office

i.e. respondent No. 5 for the purpose. The workman

appeared in the interview and was engaged as a security

guard in year 2008. He was posted in various branches of

the bank and continuously worked till 31.7.2012. His

services were illegally terminated on 1.8.2012 without

serving any notice or charge-sheet with some ulterior

motive. It is further pleaded that the persons junior to him

were also retained in service and even new hands were

appointed and as such the termination of the services of

the workman are illegal and he be reinstated in service with

full back wages.

Respondent No. 1 to 4 contested the claim and filed

written statement pleading that security guards are

permitted by the Central Government to be engaged

through contractors. The workman was appointed by the

Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office and deputed

as Guard in the bank. The workman used to get the salary

from the Deputy Director who was respondible for

compulsory deductions. Deputy Director, District Sainik

Welfare Office has the supervision and control over the

workman who was exercising disciplinary control as well

sanction of leave. The workman was an employee of the

District Sainik Welfare Office. It is specifically denied that

there was any relationship of employer and employee

between the workman and the respondent bank. The District

Sainik Welfare Office was at liberty to depute any Ex-

servicemen as security guard on any day and the bank did

not maintain any attendance record and as such, the fact

that worman worked continuously for 240 days was also

denied.

Parties were given opportunity to lead their evidence.

In support of its case the workman appeared in the

witness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim petition. He has also placed on record

certain documents Exhibit W1 to W13.

On the other hand the responodent management has

examined Sh. Sandeep Singh who filed his affidavit along

with documents Exhibit M1 to M7.

I have heard Sh. Brij Mohan, counsel for the workman

and Sh. J.S. Sathi, counsel for the management.

It was vehemently contended by Mr.J.S. Sathi, learned

counsel for the management that workman is in fact an

employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office who used to

depute him as security Guard with the bank and it was the

District Sainik Welfare Office who used to mark his presence

and pay him salary and was exericising all supervision and

control over the workman and being so, there was no

relationship of an employer and employee between the

parties; and the workman is not entitled to any relief.

I have considered the contention of the learned

counsel.

I may be added at the outset that the workman stated

in the statement of claim that he continuously worked with

the bank from the year 2008 to 31.7.2012. (the workman

failed to mention the date on which he joined the duty in

his claim statement as well as in his affidavit). Thus,

according to the workman he worked with the bank from

the year 2008 to 31.7.2012. This fact is not specifically denied

by the bank in the wirtten statement and rather pleaded in

para 4 of the written statement that workman was deputed

as Guard by the District Sainik Welfare Office. Again in a

Joint reply to para 7 to 11, the bank again admitted that

workman was deputed as guard in the bank but by the

District Sainik Welfare Office. In the circumstances, when

there is no specific denial regarding the period during which

the workman worked with the bank, it is to be held that he

worked with the bank as Security Guard from the year, 2008

to 31.7.2012.

Now the question is whether he was employed by

the bank or was an employee of the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar as pleaded by the respondent Bank. The

workman as well as the respondent bank has placed on

record certain documents in support of their respective

claims. The respondent bank is a public sector undertaking

and there is no denial of the fact that its business is

conducted as per rules and regulations and that too in

writing. But the respondent did not produce any alleged

contract entered into between the bank and the District

Sainik Welfare Office and Sandeep Singh, examined by the

bank, specifically stated that there was no written contract

entered into between the parties. It does not appeal to

mind that the bank engaged the service of security guards

without entering into written contract with the District

Sainik Welfare Office. The post of security guard is an

important post being responsible for keeping the security

of the bank and its staff and such an assignment cannot be

given to a person without any written agreement. It is not

the case of the bank that it orally agreed with the District

Sainik Welfare Office to provide the services of the security

guards. Thus, it cannot be said that there was any contract

entered into between the District Sainik Welfare Office and

the bank for availing the services of the workman as security

guard.

The fact that whehter workman is an employee of the

bank or of the District Sainik Welfare Office stand clinched

from the copy of the affidavit, Exhibit M5 placed on the file

by the management itself. It is clearly mentioned therein

that the bank can terminate the services of the workman

after giving him one month's notice and similarly, the

workman can leave the job after serving the notice. This

document leaves no doubt that the workman was in fact an

employee of the bank and not of the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar.

The bank has taken a specific plea that the workman

was paid his salary through the District Sainik Welfare

Office. The bank is in possession of the record regarding

disbursement of salary. But it did not choose to produce

the same and therefore adverse inference is to be taken

that the salary was not paid to the workman by the District

Sainik Welfare Office but by the bank.

Considering all the circumstances stated above, it

can be safely said that the workman was an employee of

the bank. There is no dispute that the services of the

workman were terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012 and that too

without serving any notice or retrenchment compensation.

Therefore the termination of the services of the workman

by the bank are not legal and justified.

1382

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

The next question which needs determination is

whether the workman is to be reinstated in service or be

paid some compensation.

There is no dispute that the workman was appointed

by not following any rules and regulations or the procedure

contained therein. Rather it is not clear what method was

adopted by the bank to avail the services of the workman.

Since the appointment of the workman as security guard is

not as per law, he cannot be ordered to be reinstated in

service. The only alternative is to pay him compensation.

Usually, the workman is entitled to one month's notice pay

and 15 days' pay for every completed year of service as

compensation but considering the entirety of the

circumstances that services of the workman were abruptly

terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012, a lump sum amount of Rs. 2 lac is

adjudged just compensation which is payable to the

workman.

Before concluding the award, it may be added that a

novel method was adopted by the bank officers to engage

the service of the workman as a security guard and again

his services were terminated without following the

provisions of law. Therefore the bank officers who engaged

the services and who terminated the services in an illegal

manner are responsible for the loss caused to the bank

who deals with public money. Being so, the bank is at

liberty to recover the said amount being payable to the

workman from the said officers in due course of law.

In result, the reference is answered in favour of the

workman holding that the termination of the services of

the workman by the respondent bank is not legal and valid

and he is entitled to recover Rs. 2 lacks from respondent

No. 1 to 4. The respondent bank shall pay the compensation

within two months of the publication of the award failing

which the workman shall be entitled to the interest @ 9 per

cent per annum from the date of the award till realization.

However the bank authority can recover the amount from

the persons responsible for making the appointment

without following the rules and regulations and then

1.8.2012 who was engaged by Punjab and Sind Bank

through District Defence Service Welfare office,

Jalandhar is just, valid and legal? If not, then to what

relief the workman is entitled for the what directions

are necessary in the matter?"

In response to the notice, the workman appeared

and submitted statement of claim pleading that he is an Ex-

Serviceman and got registered his name with District Sainik

Welfare Office, Jalandhar. That respondent No. 1 to 4

wanted the services of the security guards and they

approached Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office

i.e. respondent No. 5 for the purpose. The workman

appeared in the interview and was engaged as a security

guard 1.8.2010. He was posted in various branches of the

bank and continuously worked till 31.7.2012. His services

were illegally terminated on 1.8.2012 without serving any

notice or charge-sheet with some ulterior motive. It is

further pleaded that the persons junior to him were also

retained in service and even new hands were appointed

and as such the termination of the services of the workman

are illegal and he be reinstated in service with full back

wages.

Respondent No. 1 to 4 contested the claim and filed

written statement pleading that security guards are

permitted by the Central Government to be engaged

through contractors. The workman was appointed by the

Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office and deputed

as Guard in the bank. The workman used to get the salary

from the Deputy Director who was respondible for

compulsory deductions. Deputy Director, District Sainik

Welfare Office has the supervision and control over the

workman who was exercising disciplinary control as well

section of leave. The workman was an employee of the

District Sainik Welfare Office. It is specifically denied that

there was any relationship of employer and employee

between the workman and the respondent bank. The District

Sainik Welfare Office was at liberty to depute any Ex-

servicemen as security guard on any day and the bank did

not maintain any attendance record and as such, the fact

that worman worked continuously for 240 days was also

denied.

Parties were given opportunity to lead their evidence.

In support of its case the workman appeared in the

witness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim petition. He has also placed on record

certain documents Exhibit W1 to W12.

On the other hand the responodent management has

examined Sh. Sandeep Singh who filed his affidavit along

with documents Exhibit M1 to M8.

I have heard Sh. Brij Mohan, counsel for the workman

and Sh. J.S. Sathi, counsel for the management.

It was vehemently contended by Mr.J.S. Sathi, learned

counsel for the management that workman is in fact an

employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office who used to

depute him as security Guard with the bank and it was the

District Sainik Welfare Office who used to mark his presence

and pay him salary and was exericising all supervision and

control over the workman and being so, there was no

relationship of an employer and employee between the

parties; and the workman is not entitled to any relief.

I have considered the contention of the learned

counsel.

I may be added at the outset that the workman stated

in the statement of claim that he continuously worked with

the bank from 1.8.2010 to 31.7.2012. Thus, according to the

workman he worked with the bank from 1.8.2010 to 31.7.2012.

This fact is not specifically denied by the bank in the

wirtten statement and rather pleaded in para 4 of the written

statement that workman was deputed as Guard by the

District Sainik Welfare Office. Again in a Joint reply to para

7 to 11, the bank again admitted that workman was deputed

as guard in the bank but by the District Sainik Welfare

Office. In the circumstances, when there is no specific denial

regarding the period during which the workman worked

with the bank, it is to be held that he worked with the bank

as Security Guard from the year 1.8.2010 to 31.7.2012.

Now the question is whether he ws employed by the

bank or was an employee of the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar as pleaded by the respondent Bank. The

workman as well as the respondent bank has placed on

record certain documents in support of their respective

claims. The respondent bank is public sector undertaking

and there is no denial of the fact that its business is

conducted as per rules and regulations and that too in

writing. But the respondent did not produce any alleged

contract entered into between the bank and the District

Sainik Welfare Office and Sandeep Singh, examined by the

bank, specifically stated that there was no written contract

entered into between the parties. It does not appeal to

mind that the bank engaged the service of security guards

without entering into written contract with the District

Sainik Welfare Office. The post of security guard is an

important post being responsible for keeping the security

of the bank and its staff and such an assignment cannot be

given to a person without any written agreement. It is not

the case of the bank that it orally agreed with the District

Sainik Welfare Office to provide the services of the security

guards. Thus, it cannot be said that there was any contract

entered into between the District Sainik Welfare Office and

the bank for availing the services of the workman as security

guard.

The fact that whether the workman is employee of

the bank or the District Sainik Welfare Office stand clinched

from the letter written by the District Sainik Welfare Office

to the Manager, security of the bank dated 11.7.2010, Exhibit

1384

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

M8 and relied upon management itself, whereby, the District

Sainik Welfare Office simply sponsored the name of the

workman for the post of the gunman. Had he been

appointed by the said office, the question of sponsoring

the name by the District Sainik Welfare Office to the bank

did not arise at all. It shows that the District Sainik Welfare

Office simply sponsored the names and the workman was

in fact appointed by the bank itself as security guard.

Again the bank has placed on record two affidavits

of Shaadi Lal, Exhibit M5/1 and Sukhwant Singh, Exhibit

M5/2 in which the appointees has mentioned that the bank

can trminate the services after giving one month's notice

and similarly the appintee can leave the service after serving

a similar notice. These documents do not relate to the

present workman, but it has been placed on the file by the

bank itself showing the practice being followed in the bank.

These documents clearly show that District Sainik Welfare

Office simply sponsored the name of the persons to be

posted as Security Guard and was not the appointing

authority and in the affidavits taken from some of the

appointees shows that it was the bank who was to terminate

the services. Thus these documents probalize the case of

the workman that he was in fact appointed by the

respondent bank and he was not employed by the District

Sainik Welfare Office, Jalandhar.

The bank has taken a specific plea that the workman

was paid his salary through the District Sainik Welfare

Office. The bank is in possession of the record regarding

disbursement of salary. But it did not choose to produce

the same and therefore adverse inference is to be taken

that the salary was not paid to the workman by the District

Sainik Welfare Office but by the bank.

Considering all the circumstances stated above, it

can be safely said that the workman was an employee of

the bank. There is no dispute that the services of the

workman were terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012 and that too

without serving any notice or retrenchment compensation.

Therefore the termination of the services of the workman

by the bank are not legal and justified.

The next question which needs determination is

whether the workman is to be reinstated in service or be

paid some compensation.

There is no dispute that the workman was appointed

by not following any rules and regulations or the procedure

contained therein. Rather it is not clear what method was

adopted by the bank to avail the services of the workman.

Since the appointment of the workman as security guard is

not as per law, he cannot be ordered to be reinstated in

service. The only alternative is to pay him compensation.

Usually, the workman is entitled to one month's notice pay

and 15 days' pay for every completed year of service as

compensation but considering the entirety of the

circumstances that services of the workman were abruptly

terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012, a lump sum amount of Rs. 2 lac is

adjudged just compensation which is payable to the

workman.

Before concluding the award, it may be added that a

novel method was adopted by the bank officers to engage

the service of the workman as a security guard and again

his services were terminated without following the

provisions of law. Therefore the bank officers who engaged

the services and who terminated the services in an illegal

manner are responsible for the loss caused to the bank

who deals with public money. Being so, the bank is at

liberty to recover the said amount being payable to the

workman from the said officers in due course of law.

In result, the reference is answered in favour of the

workman holding that the termination of the services of

the workman by the respondent bank is not legal and valid

and he is entitled to recover Rs. 2 lacks from respondent

No. 1 to 4. The respondent bank shall pay the compensation

within two months of the publication of the award failing

which the workman shall be entitled to the interest @9 per

cent per annum from the date of the award till realization.

However the bank authority can recover the amount from

the persons responsible for making the appointment

without following the rules and regulations and then

terminating the services in violation of the law. Let hard

Government for information and further necessary action.

Passed on 24.2.2015

Central Government vide Notification No. L-12012/

19/2013 IR (B-II) Dated 29.5.2013, by exercising its powers

under Section 10 Sub section (1) Clause (d) and Sub Section

(2-A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter

referred to as 'Act') has referred the following Industrial

dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal:—

"Whether the action of the management of Punjab

and Sind Bank, Jalandhar in terminating the services

of Sh. Sukhwinder Singh S/o Sh. Amar Singh w.e.f.

1.8.2012 who was engaged by Punjab and Sindh Bank

through District Defence Service Welfare office,

Jalandhar is just, valid and legal? If not, then to what

relief the workman is entitled for the what directions

are necessary inthe matter?"

In response to the notice, the workaman appeared

and submitted statement of claim pleading that he is an Ex-

Serviceman and got registered his name with District Sainik

Welfare Office, Jalandhar. That respondent No. 1 to 4

wanted the services of the security guards and they

approached Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office

i.e. respondent No. 5 for the purpose. The workman

appeared in the interview and was engaged as a security

guard 25.10.2005. He was posted in various branches of

the bank and continuously worked till 31.7.2012. His

services were illegally terminated on 1.8.2012 without

serving any notice or charge-sheet with some ulterior

motive. It is further pleaded that the persons junior to him

were also retained in service and even new hands were

appointed and as such the termination of the services of

the workman are illegal and he be reinstated in service with

full back wages.

Respondent No. 1 to 4 contested the claim and filed

written statement pleading that security guards are

permitted by the Central Government to be engaged

through contractors. The workman was appointed by the

Deputy Director, District Sainik Welfare Office and deputed

as Guard in the bank. The workman used to get the salary

from the Deputy Director who was respondible for

compulsory deductions. Deputy Director, District Sainik

Welfare Office has the supervision and control over the

workman who was exercising disciplinary control as well

section of leave. The workman was an employee of the

District Sainik Welfare Office. It is specifically denied

that there was any relationship of employer and employee

between the workman and the respondent bank. The

District Sainik Welfare Office was at liberty to depute

any Ex-servicemen as security guard on any day and

the bank did not maintain any attendance record and as

such, the fact that workan worked continuously for 240

days was also denied.

Parties were given opportunity to lead their evidence.

In support of its case the workman appeared in the

witness box and filed his affidavit reiterating the stand

taken in the claim petition. He has also placed on record

certain documents Exhibit W1 to W14.

On the other hand the responodent management has

examined Sh. Sandeep Singh who filed his affidavit along

with documents Exhibit M1 to M7.

I have heard Sh. Brij Mohan, counsel for the workman

and Sh. J.S. Sathi, counsel for the management.

It was vehemently contended by Mr.J.S. Sathi, learned

counsel for the management that workman is in fact an

employee of the District Sainik Welfare Office who used to

depute him as security Guard with the bank and it was the

District Sainik Welfare Office who used to mark his presence

and pay him salary and was exericising all supervision and

control over the workman and being so, there was no

relationship of an employer and employee between the

parties; and the workman is not entitled to any relief.

I have considered the contention of the learned

counsel.

I may be added at the outset that the workman stated

in the statement of claim that he continuously worked with

1386

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : MARCH 21, 2015/PHALGUNA 30, 1936

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

the bank from 25.10.2005 to 31.7.2012. Thus, according to

the workman he worked with the bank from 25.10.2005 to

31.7.2012. This fact is not specifically denied by the bank

in the wirtten statement and rather pleaded in para 4 of the

written statement that workman was deputed as Guard by

the District Sainik Welfare Office. Again in a Joint reply to

para 7 to 11, the bank again admitted that workman was

deputed as guard in the bank but by the District Sainik

Welfare Office. In the circumstances, when there is no

specific denial regarding the period during which the

workman worked with the bank, it is to be held that he

worked with the bank as Security Guard from the 25.10.2005

to 31.7.2012.

Now the question is whether he ws employed by the

bank or was an employee of the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar as pleaded by the respondent Bank. The

workman as well as the respondent bank has placed on

record certain documents in support of their respective

claims. The respondent bank is public sector undertaking

and there is no denial of the fact that its business is

conducted as per rules and regulations and that too in

writing. But the respondent did not produce any alleged

contract entered into between the bank and the District

Sainik Welfare Office and Sandeep Singh, examined by the

bank, specifically stated that there was no written contract

entered into between the parties. It does not appeal to

mind that the bank engaged the service of security guards

without entering into written contract with the District

Sainik Welfare Office. The post of security guard is an

important post being responsible for keeping the security

of the bank and its staff and such an assignment cannot be

given to a person without any written agreement. It is not

the case of the bank that it orally agreed with the District

Sainik Welfare Office to get the services of the security

guards. Thus, it cannot be said that there was any contract

entered into between the District Sainik Welfare Office and

the bank for availing the services of the workman as security

guard.

The fact that whether the workman is employee of

the bank or the District Sainik Welfare Office stand clinched

from the copy of the affidavit, Exhibit M5 placed on the file

by the management itself. It is clearly mentioned therein

that the bank can terminate the services of the workman

after giving him one month's notice and similarly, the

workman was to leave the job after serving the notice. This

document leaves no doubt that the workman was in fact an

employee of the bank and not of the District Sainik Welfare

Office, Jalandhar.

The bank has taken a specific plea that the workman

was paid his salary through the District Sainik Welfare

Office. The bank is in possession of the record regarding

disbursement of salary. But it did not choose to produce

the same and therefore adverse inference is to be taken

that the salary was not paid to the workman by the District

Sainik Welfare Office but by the bank.

Considering all the circumstances stated above, it

can be safely said that the workman was an employee of

the bank. There is no dispute that the services of the

workman were terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012 and that too

without serving any notice or Payment of retrenchment

compensation. Therefore the termination of the services of

the workman by the bank are not legal and justified.

The next question which needs determination is

whether the workman is to be reinstated in service or be

paid some compensation.

There is no dispute that the workman was appointed

by not following any rules and regulations or the procedure

contained therein. Rather it is not clear what method was

adopted by the bank to avail the services of the workman.

Since the appointment of the workman as security guard is

not as per law, he cannot be ordered to be reinstated in

service. The only alternative is to pay him compensation.

Usually, the workman is entitled to one month's notice pay

and 15 days' pay for every completed year of service as

compensation but considering the entirety of the

circumstances that services of the workman were abruptly

terminated w.e.f. 1.8.2012, a lump sum amount of Rs. 2 lac is

adjudged just compensation which is payable to the

workman.

Before concluding the award, it may be added that a

novel method was adopted by the bank officers to engage

the services of the workman as a security guard and again

his services were terminated without following the

provisions of law. Therefore the bank officers who engaged

the services and who terminated the services in an illegal

manner are responsible for the loss caused to the bank

who deals with public money. Being so, the bank is at

liberty to recover the said amount being payable to the

workman from the said officers in due course of law.

In result, the reference is answered in favour of the

workman holding that the termination of the services of

the workman by the respondent bank is not legal and valid

and he is entitled to recover Rs. 2 lacks from respondent

No. 1 to 4. The respondent bank shall pay the compensation

within two months of the publication of the award failing

which the workman shall be entitled to the interest @9 per

cent per annum from the date of the award till realization.

However the bank authority can recover the amount from

the persons responsible for making the appointment

without following the rules and regulations and then

terminating the services in violation of the law. Let hard

and soft copy of the award be sent to the Central

Government for information and further necessary action.
