2. This Case is received from the Ministry of Labour & Employment on 26.06.2000. After receipt of reference , both
parties are noticed. The workman files their written statement on 13.12.2000. After long delay the management files
their written statement on 24.04.2002. One witnesses has been examined from both side And document of the
Management is marked as M-1 to M-3/1.
3.
The case of the workman is that, the concerned workmen had been working as mazdoor for supply of
domestic Coal to the staff of Mudidih Colliery under Sijua Area of M/S BCCL Since long under the Dangal head of
Sri Baleshwar Rajwar. It is also submitted that the concerned workman had been performing the said job within the
premises of the said colliery and giving services to the management, and it is under the supervision and control of the
said management, the said work is to be performed by departmental workman and when such jobs are performed by
contractor workman through other agency , the said workmen are to be regularised.
4.
It is also submitted that the workman had been paid their wages by the management through voucher and by
cash granted and sanctioned from the Area Office by the concerned department, and they have put more than 240 days
attendance in every year and they have been doing the said work continuously. But the concerned workman were
stopped from their services from 14.03.1998. without any prior notice or any intimation.
5.
On the other hand , the case of the management is that no employer and employee relationship exists between
the management and the concerned workman., and the management never issued any work order to the concerned
workman for carrying coal on their baskets their head and shoulders and supplying fuel coal at mudidih colliery.
6.
It is also submitted by the management that Sri Baleshwar Rajwar & 14 others were never deployed by the
management of Mudidih Colliery for the purpose of distributing coal for domestic purpose. Accordingly the demand of
Sponsoring Union to regularise the concerned workman are false.
7. The short point is to be decided that whether the demand of the union to regularise the concerned workman Sri
Baleshwar Rajwar & 14 others is legal or not.
8.
The workman concerned as stated by them were supplying domestic coal to the quarters of the BCCL
employees. They say that their work was continuous and perennial nature of job. They also produced some vouchers and
work orders of BCCL , but the workmen concerned stated that their attendance was maintained by BCCL . But no such
attendance sheet have been filed before this Tribunal.
9.
Mere omnibus statement they were supplying coal to the quarters of BCCL employee, itself will not prove
that they worked for 240 days in calendar year. And they also not filed any I.D card or gate pass etc to prove the
workman of BCCL or contractor.
10. Therefore this Tribunal unable to grant any relief in this reference, thus reference answered in negative.
11. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, I hold that the demand of the union to regularise Shri
Baleshwar Rajwar & 14 others (as per list enclosed) in service and for paying category -I wages is not legal justified.
Hence they are not entitled to get any relief.
This is my award

AWARD
By Order No. L-20012/28/2009-IR-(CM-I), dated 29/30.04.2009, the Central Government in the Ministry of
Labour has, in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub–section (2A) of Section 10 of
the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, referred the following disputes for adjudication to this Tribunal:
SCHEDULE
“Whether the action of the management of Kustore Area of M/S BCCL in not regularising Shri Bharat
Dhari as Driver in Cat-V from April 1999 is justified and legal? (ii) To what relief is the workman
concerned entitled?”
2
The case is received from the Ministry of Labour on 28.05.2009. After receipt of reference, both parties are
noticed, the Sponsoring Union files their written statement on 15.06.2009. And the management files their written
statement -cum-rejoinder on 20.01.2010. Therefore rejoinder and document filed by the parties. One witness examined
on behalf of the workman and Document of workman also marked as Ext. W-1 & W-2.
3.
The case of the workman is that the concerned workman was appointed as piece rated Loader, having valid
Driving License for Driving Heavy Vehicles, besides he was read upto Class VIII. It is also submitted by the workman
that in the year 1990 the management inviting application for the post of Heavy vehicles Driver, and trade test, the
concerned workman files all relevant paper as desired for the Trade Test and subsequently found fit for the post of
Driver (Heavy) in the year 1991 thereafter given letter to Drive heavy vehicle in the colliery, from 1991 he is still
performing the duty of heavy driver with satisfaction, but the concerned workman was paid cat-I wages with designation
as Driver (Trainee) from 1991 to 2002.
4.
It is also submitted that the cadre scheme for Driver is for engagement of Driver (Trainee) for one year only
with cat-II wages but on completion of Training period satisfactorily, to be confirmed as Driver in Cat-V. But the
employers did not follow the cadre scheme for promotion of Driver, the workman is entitled for cat-II as Trainee Driver
from 1991 and Cat-V with designation as Driver from April 1999. But the management did not comply the cadre
scheme the reference case arose.
16
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
5. The management's case is that there is not provision for regularisation of any employee in particular category from
the particular date. It is also submitted that the Sponsoring Union has no locus standi to raise Industrial Dispute on
behalf of the workman as the Sponsoring Union is not functioning in the establishment of Auto workshop. The
management has to follow the provision of Art. 14 and 16 of the constitution of India, and the promotion of its employee
will be considered by DPC duly constituted by the Cadre Controlling Authority.
6.
The DPC recommend the name of eligible candidates for promotion in higher category after scrutinizing CR of the
concerned employee , their requisite educational qualification and merit decided by Trade Test subject to availability of
Vacancy. The workman concerned has been promoted as Driver in Category-V on the recommendation of the
Committee, but the promotion is the prerogative of the management. The demand of promotion from an earlier date
cannot be a subject matter of Industrial Dispute.
7. Short point to be decided in this reference that Sri Bharat Dhari is to be regularised as Driver Cat-V. Case of the
workman is that the workman working as minor Loader under the management as per advertisement circulated to the
post of driver, the workman appeared and cleared the test and thereafter he was regularised as driver (Trainee) Cat-I as
per the order dated 22.03.1991 vide document Ext-W-1.
8. Thereafter the case of the workman is be continued to work as such and vide office order dated 29.07.2002/
02.08.2002 marked as Ext-W-2 . The workman concerned was regularised in the post of Cat-V and the order was
issued by The Dy. Chief Personnel Manager & it was communicated to all concerned.
9 This being the situation for the entitlement of regularisation as Driver Cat-V from April 1999. for which he has also
not filed any document to justify the claim and he has also admitted in his evidence that he does not have any document
to prove his claim. Therefore demand is refused.
10. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, I hold that the action of the management of Kustore Area of
M/S BCCL in not regularising Shri Bharat Dhari as Driver in Cat-V from April 1999 is justified. Hence he is not
entitled to get any relief.
This is my award.

“Whether the action of the management of Bhuli Town Administration of BCCL in not regularising Sri
Umesh Lal in post of Havildar is fair and justified? To what relief the concerned workman is entitled to?”
2. This case is received from the Ministry of Labour on 27-12-2013, After receipt of the reference, both parties are
noticed. The sponsoring Union files their written statement on 04-03-2014, and the management files their written
statement-cum-rejoinder on 11-07-2014. Thereafter rejoinder and document filed by the parties. One witness from each
side has been examined and document of the management marked as M-1 to M-8 and workman's document marked as
Ext. W-1 to W-10.
3. The case of the workman is that the concerned workman Sri Umesh Lal is a permanent workman in B.T.A of M/S
BCCL. He is Matriculate and designated as Security Guard placed in T&S Crade-G w.e.f 17.05.1990. In the meantime
vacancy of Head Secrurity Guard/Havildar occurred due to transfer of the regular Security Guard/Havildar, the
concerned workman Sri Umesh Lal was authorised to work as Head Security Guard/Havildar in the year 1999 .
4. In August 2003, note Sheet was initiated by the personnel manager (Admn.) vide No. 654 dated 07.08.2003 and
another reminder note sheet vide letter No. BCCL/BTA/(Admn) /2004/574 dated 3/5.08.2004 for regularisation of Sri
Umesh Lal as Head Security Guard/Havildar and one another Note Sheet No. BCCL/BTA/07/3162 dated 30.01.2007/
07.02.2007 initiated by Dy. Chief Security Officer of BTA requesting the authority `to regularise the workman as
Havildar.
5. Since the demand of the workman by his verious applications and his demand has not been fulfilled and he had been
posted and placed in T&S Grade-F instead of T&S Grade-E an Industrial Dispute was raised before the ALC©
Dhanbad , One Tripartite Settlement under Section 12(3) of I.D.Act arrived, according to which it was agreed by the
management that the workman has been working as Head Security Guard/Havildar from the year 1999. However it was
agreed that a difference of wages of Grade-E will be paid to the workman w.e.f. 05.02.2007 but the dispute of
regularisation as Head Security Guard/Havildar is remain pending and the dispute arose as reference.
6. The case of the management is that Sri Umesh Lal was appointed as General Mazdoor Cat-I and posted as Katras
Area and transferred to BTA in the year 1997 as Security Guard in T&S Grade-G and he was upgraded from Grade G to
Grade F under SLU on 20.06.2003 and since than he is continuing in Grade F as Security Guard.
7. It is admitted by management that Sri Umesh Lal was authorised to work as Havildar by CSO/BTA on 05.02.2007
but which was without approval of the competent Authority. The Dy. CSO/BTA is not empowered to authorized, and the
authorization was not proper and without locating number of the BTA Office . It is also admitted that a tripartite
settlement between the management of BTA of M/S BCCL and workman representative was held on 30.03.2011, in
which it was agreed to pay difference of wages working as Havildar for the period he was authorised to work as
Havildar w.e.f. 05.02.2007 and it was paid from 5.02.2007 to 30.03.2011.
8. It is also submitted by the management that concerned workman Shri Umesh Lal has already been paid the
difference of wages for the authorised period from 05.02.2007 to 30.03. 2011. Thereafter the Illegal authorisation
which was given by Dy. CSO was withdrawn vide office order No. BCCL/KB/Adm/2011/702 dated 27.08.2011 hence
the question for regularisation of Sri Umesh Lal as Havildar does not arise at all.
9. It is also mentioned that no vacancy of T&S Grade is there and as per service excerpt of Sri Umesh Lal filed and
signed by the workman, in which the qualification has mentioned as “Non-Matric” and in note sheet dated 20.08.2003
it has neen mentioned as Matriculate which creates doubt.
10. The short point that is to be decided in the reference is whether Umesh Lal, who is a Security Guard working for a
long period as Head Security Guard/havildar is to be regularised or not.
11. Admittedly Sri Umesh Lal is rendering the service of Havildar, who is a higher post than Security Guard. It was
recommended from the Area Office that he be regularised as Havildar.
12. A settlement was arrived to protect his pay as of a havildar. As it was not materialised, he raised the dispute. The
workman has admitted in his evidence, that at the time he was working as havildar was receiving the difference of wages
of Havildar from 2007. But subsequently he says that on his representation, the authorisation was withheld . He further
admits that till withdrawal of authorisation, he got his dues.
13. In cross examination of Tapas Kr. Gupta (MW-1) stating that, it is a fact that if a person of lower category will
work in higher grade continuously for a period of 3 years he is to be regularized in that post. It is also submited that if a
lower category of workman works in higher category, he will be paid differential wages if ordered.
18
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
14. Considering the fact and circumstances of this case, I hold that, if the workman is working as havildar after
30.03.2011 regularly for 3 years or more, he either be regularised in his post or he be paid the difference of wages as he
is entitled as per NCWA.
This is my award.

AWARD
By Order No. L-20012/500/99-IR (C-I), dated 01-03-2000, the Central Government in the Ministry of Labour has, in
exercie of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub–section (2A) of Section 10 of the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947, referred the following disputes for adjudication to this Tribunal:
SCHEDULE
“Whether the demand of the Rashtriya Colliery Mazdoor Sangh to designate Sri Bharat Sharma as
Loading supervisor is proper and justified? If so, to what relief is the workman entitled and with what
consequential benefits and from what date?”
2. This Case is received from the Ministry of Labour & Employment on 13.03.2000. After receipt of reference, both
parties are noticed. But after long delay the Sponsoring Union files their written statement on 19.03.2004. And the
management files their written statement on 25.07.2006. One witness has been examined on behalf of the workman.
And document of the workman is marked as W-1 to W-13.
3. The case of the workman is that the concerned workman working for few years efficiently and successfully, the
management felt necessity of engaging as Loading supervisor for the purpose of bringing improvement of the standard
and quality of loading appreciating his merit and efficiency which he showed during his continuous employment of
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % tuojh 2] 2016@ikS"k 12] 1937
19
several years and started to take the work of Loading supervisor from him from 1988 and since then Shri Bharat Sharma
has been continuously working as Loading Supervisor putting in attendance on all working days of each year in 1988
and thereafter.
4. It is also stated that after starting to work as Loading Supervisor, from 1988 the concerned workman was issued a
copy of letter dated 25.7.88 which was sent to the manager of Pootki Colliery of M/S BCCL to Commercial Manager,
S.E.Rly Adra . By this letter the concerned workman amongst others was cautioned against over loading of wagons at
Pootki Colliery Depot to be sent to Bhojudih Coal Washery. The concerned workman is in the capacity of Loading
Supervisor and directed by the management to collect details of weightment of wagons.
5. It is also stated that after being diverted from the post of Mining Sirdar from 1988 to work as Loading Supervisor,
the concerned workman was stopped payment of underground allowance and charge allowance for quite a long time,
putting him to heavy loss, but when he prayed, the management did not pay heed to his requests, for which Industrial
disputes for regularisation is arose.
6. On the other hand the case of the management is that on the basis of his Mining sardarship Certificate, he was
promoted as a Mining Sardar in Technical & Supervisory Grade-C and he was accordingly paid salary of Mining Sardar
in Technical & Supervisory Grade-B on the basis of his designation and requests, he was upgraded in Techinical &
Supervisory Grade -B as per NCWA.
7. It is also stated that the concerned workman never worked or employed as Loading Supervisor and as such the
demand of the Union to designate the workman as Loading Supervisor is false.
8. The short point is to be decided in this reference that whether the concerned workman is regularised as Loading
Supervisor or not.
9. The workman who is a mining Sardar claiming that he be given the post of Loading Supervisor as he is working as
such. There is no valid document, to prove that the workman has been appointed as Loading Supervisor for which he
went to High Court did not get any desired relief.
10. In this reference Sri Bharat Sharma examined as WW-1. In which he also stated in his cross-examination that :
“ It is fact that I refused to work as Mining sirdar, when I was asked to work a mining sirdar. A Mining sirdar
got underground allowance. A Mining sirdar after passing mining sirdarship examination gets promotion to
overman”.
“I filed case before Hon'ble High Court . The hon'ble High It Court did not pass any order regarding my
regularisation. I did not go to work as Mining Sardar though it was ordered by the management. I do not
know about cadre post. I do not know in which cadre I am working.”
11 This being his own admission, thus Tribunal unable to give the workman the designation of Laoding Supervisor.
Hence his claim is regretted.
12. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case, I hold that the demand of the Rashtriya Colliery Mazdoor
Sangh to designate Sri Bharat Sharma as Loading supervisor is not proper. Hence he is not entitled to get any relief.
This is my award

AWARD
This is a petition filed under Sec. 2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 filed on 9.3.2006 by Sri M.
Bhaskarachary, the workman, who worked as (who will be referred to as workman) an Asst. Consultant against the
management of E.C.I.L., for his reinstatement in the service of the management with continuity of service and all
attendant benefits.
2. The case of the Petitioner is that he worked as an Asst. Consultant with the Executive Engineer since his
appointment directly to attend the work entrusted to him. He was qualified in I.T.I.(Electronics) and was so appointed
in the year 2001, for attending the work of Electronics accompanied by the Executive Engineer of the Respondent.
He used to work not only within the twin cities but also he was sent to other states i.e., Bombay, Delhi, Chennai and
U.P. to work on the basis of the identity card issued by the Respondent to him as the employee of the E.C.I.L., for
repairing the electronic machines of Nuclear Power Control System installed by the Respondent in various states.
Further he got his identity cards renewed for the period from 10.1.2001 to 31.3.2005. He worked continuously for
more than 240 days under the Respondent. Police verification as per the letter of the Senior Manager/Section Incharge,
C.A.D., to the Dy. General Manager was also done about the Petitioner as a regular work for the repairs under the
company in various States and accordingly he was also allotted Serial No.1650 by management. He had no adverse
remarks in performance of his duty. But the Respondent instead of regularising his service orally retrenched him
unilaterally without any order as required under Sec.25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, even without holding any
regular enquiry. This retrenchment by the Respondent without any notice for payment of compensation under the
provision of Sec. 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, is illegal, invalid and liable to be set aside. Moreover, the
Petitioner is over 32 years and has no scope for any alternative employment at this stage. Hence, the Petitioner asked for
his reinstatement in service with full back wages and attendant benefits.
3. Whereas counter case of the Respondent challenging the maintainability of the industrial dispute in Law and on
facts is that the petition under Sec.2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 being incorporated by the A.P.
Amendment Act 32 of 1987 is ultravires, as the State Government owns no power to amend said section of the Act
which was passed by the Central Government. Thus, it being violative of the Article 14 of the Constitution of India is
liable to be struck down as null and void, because it is being beyond the jurisdiction of this Tribunal/Labour Court and
it stands beyond the adjudication. The Director (Personnel) is the Officer in the Electronics Corporation of India
Limited. So he can not have any grievance against the said officer in his individual capacity. Therefore, the Respondent
is not a party to the instant proceeding. Moreover, the Petitioner was never employed by the Respondent, rather he
appears to have been engaged by the contractor M/s. Vision Management Consultants, employer of the Petitioner, but
the said contractor has not been made a party to it. Hence, the present proceedings suffers from misjoinder or the non-
joinder of the necessary parties. M/s. Electronics Corporation of India Limited (for short E.C.I.L.) had entered into a
contract with M/s. Vision Management Consultants (for short VMC), as per the purchase order No. B-6124 dated
20.6.2002 for providing consultants to ECIL subject to the various terms and conditions. M/s. VMC in pursuance of
that provided persons to ECIL and in turn ECIL paid the amounts agreed as per the aforesaid terms and conditions. The
instant Petitioner herein was one of such consultants who was deputed by the same contractor. The Petitioner
accordingly worked for on behalf of the contractor. The aforesaid M/s. VMC (Contractor) as per its letter dated
4.4.2005 informed the ECIL that they have terminated the services of their consultants six in number w.e.f. 1.4.2005
(including the Petitioner) by name :- 1. D. Hemalatha, 2. Ch. Kutumba Rao, 3. Ch L Narsimham, 4. M Bhaskara Chary
(Petitioner herein), 5. D. Ramachandraiah and 6. K. Bhagya Rekha. Under these circumstances the Petitioner is not a
workman of the ECIL under Sec.2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as he was neither employed nor engaged
directly at any time, nor paid any remuneration to him by the ECIL. As such neither the Petitioner has any locus standi
to invoke the jurisdiction of this Tribunal nor this Tribunal has any jurisdiction to entertain it for adjudication. As it is
beyond the ambit of the said Act. There was no relationship of jural relationship between employer and employee
between the instant Petitioner and the ECIL.
4. Further specifically but totally denying the allegations of the Petitioner as stated in his petition, it has been alleged
on behalf of the Respondent that the Executive Engineer in the organization has no jurisdiction to appoint any
employee in any category, so he never made any such appointment. The Petitioner was deputed by the aforesaid
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % tuojh 2] 2016@ikS"k 12] 1937
27
contractor as a consultant in the ECIL which in turn had availed the consultancy services of the Petitioner in its
exigencies. So far as issuance of the identity card is concerned, it was issued to the Petitioner only for his entry into the
office premises as a consultant, but it does not confer on him any right for employment on any post in the ECIL, and
the such Identity cards were issued by the ECIL to the Petitioner as long as he was deputed as a consultant by the same
contractor. The allegation of the Petitioner about his continuous work in the employment for more than 240 days is
totally incorrect. The Petitioner never attended to any skilled, unskilled, manual, clerical, technical, operational work.
The police verification in respect of the consultants deputed to the ECIL by the said contractor was effective, so the
Petitioner cannot claim for the status of workman in ECIL on that score, and for that very purpose of police
verification, the serial number was allotted, identity card issued to the Petitioner, which can not give any status of a
workman to the Petitioner. In such circumstances, the Respondent had neither terminated nor retrenched the Petitioner
from any allotted service in violation of Sec.25 F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Rather the Petitioner and five
others were terminated by their aforesaid contractor, M/s. VMC, so there is no retrenchment nor any violation of
Sec.25-F of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Thus, the Petitioner is not entitled to any relief as claimed by him. Thus, the
petition being devoid of merits is liable to be dismissed in limine.
5. In view of the pleaded facts of both the parties, the main question in issue arises for due consideration is, “Whether
the Petitioner was retrenched or terminated from his service under the provisions of Sec.25-F of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947?”
Finding with the reasons:
6. Mr. V. R. Balachary, the learned Advocate for Petitioner, Mr. M. Bhaskarachary, has submitted that Petitioner
though had initially worked as a casual labourer under the Respondent, yet was interviewed and he was selected as
Consultant of the company; thereafter he continuously worked for five years, on account of that, the Chief of the
company had recommended for his regularization on the satisfaction of his work. Further it has been submitted on
behalf of the Petitioner that admittedly the workman was issued his identity card and he was also sent to different States
for his work as per the documents concerned(Ex. W7 & W8); inspite of all the aforesaid facts, the Petitioner was orally
but illegally terminated without any compensation to him, as there was a solid relationship of employer and employee
between both the parties. Relying up the authority: AIR 2000 SC 1080, VP Ahuja Vs. State of Punjab in reference to
Arts. 40, 16 of the Constitution of India, the Learned Counsel for the Petitioner has emphatically submitted that the
termination of the service of a probationer on the ground of his unsatisfactory work was held to be arbitrary and
punitive without complying with the principles of natural justice (para 7); as such the Petitioner is alleged to have been
entitled to reinstatement in his service with its continuity and full back wages and attendant benefits.
7. Though no Learned Counsel for the Respondent had appeared twice for arguments in this case; in view of the
oldest case, the case was earlier taken up for final disposal in view of the material as adduced on behalf of both the
parties. Later on, despite allowing the I.A. No. 01/2015 in the I.D. filed by the Petitioner/Respondent , Learned Counsel
Mr. Venkata Raju for the Respondent did not appear on 21st September, 2015 for argument either oral or writer; hence,
so it was reserved for an award. On perusal and consideration of the material available on the case records, I find that
the instant issue relates to the claim of the Petitioner for his regularization in the service under the Respondent. But it
needs the consideration of the prime issue;
“Whether any jural relationship of the workman (Petitioner) with the Director, Personnel of the ECIL,
Hyderabad (Respondent) exists at the relevant time between both the parties?”
8. From the perusal of the case record, I find that the Petitioner had neither any proof of his appointment by the
Respondent management as a consultant in the company nor any proof for direct appointment by his salary paid to him
by the Respondent for any point of time during the relevant period. Admittedly the Petitioner was never sponsored by
the Employment Exchange for his employment or even on the basis of any publication in the daily for any application
for the post of consultant candidature. The Petitioner could not be able to establish the matter of his interview for the
post. But admission of the Petitioner about his working as software consultant in the year 2001 for 2 to 3 years and his
termination along with the five other persons by the M/s. VMC from their service in the year 2005 evidently indicate
that all his documents filed by the Petitioner in his instant case as consultant. The status of the workman stands
established as contractual workman in the Respondent company because the Respondent company had entered into a
contract with M/s. VMC by placing a purchase order No. B-6124 dated 20.6.2002 (Ex.M2) for providing consultants
(including the Petitioner) for employment of contractual work in the premises of the Respondent as well as at various
sites across the country subject to the terms and conditions of the same purchase order. The conformity statement of
MW2 Sri K. Mallikarjuna Rao, the CEO of the aforesaid M/s. VMC, Hyderabad establishes the Petitioner and other
similar five persons who were engaged by their establishment for accomplishing the work of the Respondent as per the
aforesaid purchase order were terminated from the service of the consultants w.e.f. 1.4.2005 as per their order dated
4.4.2005 (Ex. M3) which was addressed to the Dy. General Manager of the Respondent company. MW2 Sri K.
Mallikarjuna Rao, the CEO of the contractor M/s. VMC management, Hyderabad appears to have fully established the
Petitioner along with the other five persons namely, 1. D. Hemalatha, 2. Ch. Kutumba Rao, 3. Ch. L. Narasimham,
4. D. Ramachandraiah and 5. K. Bhagya Rekha was engaged as consultant for their placement in the companies
28
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
concerned including the Respondent as per the terms and conditions between them for 2 or 3 years; following the
contract period over, he (MW2) got not other work for him. The affirmative statement of MW2 that the Petitioner was
neither engaged nor paid any salary for his consultant work by the Respondent clearly indicates the Petitioner was not
an employee of the Respondent. It also appears that on enquiry, all the candidates including the Petitioner by the
contractor were interacted with the Respondent which was never any interview for him/them. The company used to
address letters to the Police for the verification of the antecedents of the contractual workmen including the Petitioner
prior to sending them to other States for assigning work as per the terms and conditions of the purchase order.
Temporary workers of the aforesaid contractor were issued only their causal entry permits (Exs. W1, W2 & W3) by the
security Department, and thereafter their punching cards i.e., access cards which clearly indicate the temporary workers
of the contractor including the Petitioner. They are not connected with the management as an employee in any way. It
is also undisputed that as per the terms of the purchase order (Ex. M2) of the Respondent company from the
intermediary contractor M/s. VMC (Ex.M2) under the clause 11 specifies the instruction to be given by the contractor
for the execution of the work. In such situation, the letters/applications for out door visit to Karnataka, the BARC, or for
Police verification cannot be a solid ground for the claim of the Petitioner for his regularization in the service.
9. On perusal and consideration of the material as adduced and made available on the case record, I find that workman
Petitioner Sri M. Bhaskarachary was engaged as a contract labourer, along with five others namely, D. Hemalatha,
Ch. Kutumba Rao, Ch.L.Narasimham, D. Ramachandraiah and K. Bhagya Rekha by the contractor M/s. Visiion
Management Consultants by Virtue of the contract with the OP/management of M/s Electronics Corporation of Indian
Ltd., (E.C.I.L.) as per the purchase order No.B-6124 dt. 20.6.2006 for providing consultants to E.C.I.L., subject to the
various terms and conditions. The Petitioner accordingly worked as one of such consultants on behalf of the contractor.
Thereafter, the aforesaid contractor M/s. VMC as per its letter dt. 4.4.2005 informed the OP/ECIL of the termination of
the services of their aforesaid consultants including the Petitioner w.e.f. 01.4.2005. At the point, it is settled law as
held by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Steel Authority of India Ltd., Vs. N.V. Water Front Workers reported in
2001 LAB.I.C. 3656(CB)(I) as such:
“It cannot be said that by virtue of engagement of contract labour by the contractor in any work of or in
connection with the work of an establishment, the relationship of master and servant is created between the
principal employer and the contract labour. Even a combined reading of the definition of the terms ‘contract
labour’ establishment and ‘workman’ does not show that a legal relationship between a person employed in an
industry and the owner of the industry is created irrespective of the fact as to who has brought about such
relationship. The word ‘workman’ is defined in wide terms. It is a generic term of which contract labour is a
species. It is true that a combined reading of the terms ‘establishment’ and ‘workman’ shows that a workman
engaged in an establishment would have direct relationship with the principal employer as a servant of mater.
But what is true of a workman could not be correct of contract labour. When the provisions of the Act neither
contemplate creation of direct relationship of master and servant between the principal employer and the
contract labour nor can such relationship be implied from the provisions of the Action issuing notification
under S. 10(1) of the CLRA Act A fortiori much less can such a relationship be found to exist from the Rules
and the Forms made thereunder.”(Paras 101, 114,117)
10. In view of the aforeseen finding it stands clear that since there was no jural relationship of employer and employee
between the OP/Principal Employer and the contract labourer, so no question of retrenchment or termination of the
Petitioner from his service under the provisions of Sec. 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 arises. Hence, the
Petitioner is not entitled to any relief whatsoever.
Award is passed accordingly. Transmit.

AWARD
Passed on this 19th day of November, 2015
1. As per letter dated 28/12/99 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-12012/225/99/IR(B-
II). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of Bank of India in denying regularization and terminating the services of
Shri Yogesh Mishra, Ex-sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and justified? If not, to what relief is the disputant concerned
entitled to?”
2. After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim at Page
3/1 to 3/4. Case of Ist party workman is that he was engaged as permanent peon on daily wages by 2nd party at Rau
Branch Indore from 1-7-92. He worked with devotion. He was working under Branch Manager Shri P. D. Dodi and
R.K.Menon, he was not paid bonus for the period. Muster roll/ diary was maintained about their attendance. Workman
was signing diary in token of his attendance. Bank Manager was paying his wages in cash. He was paid bonus for the
period 1992-93 to 1994-95. During 1992-93, he worked for 253 days, in 1994-95- for 258 days. He worked more than
240 days during each of the year. In main branch, he worked under different Branch Managers. He filed Writ Petition
32
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
before High Court, Indore bench for regularization of his service. During pendency of Writ Petition, his services were
terminated on 30-8-97. That he is covered as employee under Section 25 B of ID Act as he worked more than 240 days
during each of the year. His services were terminated without notice. Retrenchment compensation was not paid to him.
termination of his service is in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act and para 507, 524 of Sastry Award. The violation of
Section 25-G, N of ID Act is committed by management as policy of last come first go was not followed. After
termination of his service, he is unemployed. Overlooking he worked more than 240 days, his services were terminated.
He was not provided re-employment, thereby management violated Section 25 H of ID Act. He was not paid bonus for
1995-96, 96-97 under Section 8 of payment of Bonus Act. On such contentions, workman prays for his reinstatement
with backwages.
3. 2nd party management filed Written Statement at Page 8/1 to 8/5 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party raised
preliminary objection that employer employee relationship doesnot exist between parties. There was no question of
terminating services of workman. Union was not in existence in organization of 2nd party. Union has no locus-standi to
raise the dispute.
4. That workman has raised dispute contending that his services are terminated in violation of provisions of ID Act.
Reference is misconceived. Workman was not employee of the Bank. Therefore dispute deserves to be rejected. Casual
labour engaged on basis of day to day requirement by Branch Manager. Such engagement comes to end after end of the
day. The dis-engagement of such worker is covered under Section 2(oo)(bb) of ID Act. 2nd party contends that workman
was entitled for payment of bonus for the year 1992 to 1996, he was paid bonus for those respective years. Workman
had not completed 240 days continuous service during any of the year. There was no question of illegal retrenchment of
workman. When person is engaged on daily wages, the contract of engagement starts in morning and ends at end of the
day. That 1st party is covered as employee under Section 25 B of ID Act. The selection process as per the directions of
Central Government was not followed. Workman was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. Employment in
2nd party Bank being public employment is covered under State and Article 16 of the constitution. That Employment
Exchange is only agency. Any person seeking employment could register himself guaranteeing equality of opportunity
of employment. That person engaged on temporary basis on stop gap arrangement without proper procedure has no right
for permanent appointment. That workman was engaged on day to day basis as per requirement without following
prescribed procedure by Branch Manager on consolidated wages. 2nd party reiterated that workman had not completed
240 days service during 12 months preceding his termination. His claim for regularization is not justified. there was no
question of terminating services of workman as there was no employer employee relationship between parties. Violation
of Section 25-F,G,N,H of ID Act is denied. Workman is not entitled to protection under ID Act. On such contentions,
2nd party prays for rejection of claim.
5. Ist party workman filed rejoinder at Page 9/1 to 9/5 reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.
6. Though application under Section 36(3)(4) of ID Act is filed, it appears that the application was not pressed at the
time of recording evidence of both parties.
7. 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 Bank of India in denying
regularization and terminating the services of Shri Yogesh Mishra, Ex-sepoy
w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
8. Workman is challenging termination of his service for violation of Section 25-F, G, N of ID Act. he also contends
violation of Section 25-H of ID Act. Management of 2nd party has opposed the claim filing Written Statement. Workman
filed affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit, workman says he was engaged as Badli Sepoy from 1-7-92 by Branch
Manager shri J.B.Kulkarni in Rau branch. He worked satisfactorily in said branch till 30-8-97. Then he was transferred
to Satha bazaar branch, Indore. He resumed duty in said branch on 15-3-89. He continuously worked till 1992 to 1997.
He completed more than 240 days continuous service. He was paid bonus for the year1989 to 1995. Bonus for the year
96-97 was not paid. His services were terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. In his
cross-examination, workman says he passed 8th standard. He was engaged by Branch Manager Shri Kulkarni. He did not
see advertisement in newspaper. He received information about vacancy from persons acquainted working in Bank. His
name was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. No written test or interview was taken. He has submitted
application in writing. Appointment letter was not given to him. He was paid wages by Branch Manager obtaining
signature on voucher. He was unable to tell his working days during the period 1992 to 1997. He was paid bonus from
1992 to 1996. He denies that he did not work for 240 days during any of the year.

33
9. Management’s witness Subhash Kulkarni Branch Manager filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions in
Written Statement of 2nd party. His affidavit is devoted about the vacancies in subordinate staff are required to be
notified to Employment Exchange. The vacancies are also filed from other sources if Employment Exchange gives non-
availability certificate. That Union is not functioning in the Bank. Any regular staff is not member of Union. His
affidavit is also devoted after verification of character and antecedents of the candidates in subordinate cadre as per
circular dated 1-10-91. That workman not completed 240 days continuous service during 1987 to 30-8-97. In his cross-
examination, management’s witness says Circular Exhibit M-1 doesnot apply to temporary employees. He had
discussed about matter with Branch Manager Shri Oswal. Shri Oswal may have been working in Satta Bazar branch
during 1993-94. He was not sure. When other employees were on leave, daily wage employees were engaged. There
muster roll were not maintained. Branch Manager was paying wages. The amount was reimbursed to him. He was
unable to tell documents in that regard are produced in the case. He claims ignorance about documents of payment of
bonus. Workman was not served notice. Retrenchment compensation was not paid to him as he was engaged as daily
wager.
10. Management’s witness Shri Vishwanath Pandey filed affidavit of his evidence. Management’s witness says Branch
Manager has no authority to appoint any person in subordinate cadre. There was no sanction of permission of
competent authority to provide employment. Branch Manager had to make necessary arrangement for miscellaneous job
of work. Workman had not completed 240 days service. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he was
posted in main branch Indore during 1996-97. Attendance Register was not maintained, appointment letter was not given
to him. permission of Controlling Authority was not taken before engagement of workman. Workman was paid wages
by Branch Manager. Amount was reimbursed to him. Witness claims ignorance whether workman was issued notice,
retrenchment compensation was paid. He also claims ignorance about payment of bonus to workman.
11. Ist party workman has not examined any other witness in support of his claim completing 240 days continuous
service during each of the year.
12. Turning to documentary evidence, Exhibit W-5 to W-8 pertains to prohibition of engagement of casual labour in
the Bank. Management produced Copy of chart about payment of bonus for the year 1994-95 is produced in which
working days of workman are shown 259 in 1994-95 and 245 working days in 1995-96.
13. 2nd party submitted notes of argument emphasizing that workman had not completed 240 days continuous service.
Workman was unable to tell about his working days in any of the year.
14. Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri A.K.Shashi relies on ratio held in case between Surendranagar District
Panchayat versus Dahyabhai Amarsingh reported in 2005(8)SCC-750. Their Lordship dealing with Section 25-F, 25 B
of ID Act held facts must be proved by workman to claim protection under Section 25-F are that (i) there exists
relationship of employer and employee, (ii) he is a workman under Section 2(s), (iii) establishment in which he is
employed is an Industry within meaning of the Act and (iv) he has put in not less than one year of continuous service as
defined in Section 25 B under the employer. That onus to prove 240 days continuous service lies on workman.
The evidence discussed above has failed to establish that he completed 240 days continuous service.
In Case between Karnataka State road Transport Corporation and another versus S. G. Kotturappa and another reported
in 2005-II-LLJ- 462 by Rajasthan High court, 2009-17-SC-473, 2001-LLR-971 judgment by MP High Court, 2007-1-
SCC-408, AIR 2005-SCC-1790, AIR-2007-SC-1166, 2007-3-LLJ-163, 2006-II-SCC-716. Ratio in all those cases needs
no detailed discussion as from evidence of Ist party workman. workman completed more than 240 days in 1995-96 and
not 12 months preceding termination of his service on 30-8-97.Shri A.K.shashi on the point relies on ratio held by
Hon’ble Delhi High Court in Writ petition No. 4093/96 in case between Prem Singh versus Presiding Officer, Labour
Court No. V & another. In Para 5 of the judgment, his Lordship considering evidence of management’s witness No. 2,
the petitioner worked only for 131 ½ days in 1981, 249 days in 1982, 194 days in 1983, 270 days in 1984. Following
ratio held in case of Mohanlal that on principle and on precedent it must be held that Section 25 B(2) comprehends a
situation where a workman is not in employment for a period of 12 calendar months but has rendered service for a
period of 240 days within the period of 12 calendar months commencing and counting backwards from the relevant date
i.e. the date of retrenchment. If he has he would be deemed to be in continuous service for a period of one year for the
purpose of Section 25 B and Chapter VA.
15. Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 workman has not established his claim for regularization in
service, termination of service are not in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Therefore workman is not entitled to any
relief. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No. 2.
16. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1) The action of the management of Bank of India in denying regularization and terminating the services of
Shri Yogesh Mishra, Ex-sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and proper.
(2) Workman is not entitled to any relief.

AWARD
Passed on this 19th day of November, 2015
1. As per letter dated 28/12/99 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-12012/224/99/IR(B-II).
The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of Bank of India in denying regularization and terminating the services of
Shri Deepak, Ex-sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and justified? If not, to what relief is the disputant concerned
entitled to?”
2. After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim at Page
3/1 to 3/4. Case of Ist party workman is that he was engaged as permanent peon on daily wages by 2nd party at Rau
branch Indore from 1-7-87. He worked with devotion. From 14-3-89, he was transferred to main branch, Indore. He was
working under Branch Manager Shri P.D.Dodi and R.K.Menon, he was not paid bonus for the period 1-10-87 to 14-3-89.
He joined at main branch, Indore on 15-3-89. Muster roll/ diary was maintained about their attendance. Workman was
signing diary in token of his attendance. Bank Manager was paying his wages in cash. He was paid bonus for the period
1992-93 to 1994-95. During 1992-93, he worked for 253 days, in 1994-95- for 258 days. He worked more than 240 days
during each of the year. In main branch, he worked under different Branch Managers. He filed Writ Petition before High
Court, Indore Bench for regularization of his service. During pendency of Writ Petition, his services were terminated on
30-8-97. That he is covered as employee under Section 25 B of ID Act as he worked more than 240 days during each of
the year. His services were terminated without notice. Retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. Termination of
his service is in violation of section 25-F of ID Act and para 507, 524 of Sastry Award. The violation of section 25-G, N
of ID Act is committed by management as policy of last come first go was not followed. After termination of his
service, he is unemployed. Overlooking he worked more than 240 days, his services were terminated. He was not
provided re-employment, thereby management violated Section 25 H of ID Act. He was not paid bonus for 1995-96,
96-97 under Section 8 of payment of Bonus Act. On such contentions, workman prays for his reinstatement with
backwages.
3. 2nd party management filed Written Statement at Page 8/1 to 8/5 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party raised
preliminary objection that employer employee relationship doesnot exist between parties. There was no question of
terminating services of workman. Union was not in existence in organization of 2nd party. Union has no locus-standi to
raise the dispute.
4. That workman has raised dispute contending that his services are terminated in violation of provisions of ID Act.
reference is misconceived. Workman was not employee of the Bank. Therefore dispute deserves to be rejected. Casual
labour engaged on basis of day to day requirement by Branch Manager. Such engagement comes to end after end of the
day. The dis-engagement of such worker is covered under Section 2(oo)(bb) of ID Act. 2nd party contends that workman
was entitled for payment of bonus for the year 1992 to 1996, he was paid bonus for those respective years. Workman
had not completed 240 days continuous service during any of the year. There was no question of illegal retrenchment of
workman. When person is engaged on daily wages, the contract of engagement starts in morning and ends at end of the
day. That Ist party is covered as employee under Section 25 B of ID Act. The selection process as per the directions of
Central Government was not followed. Workman was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. Employment in
2nd party Bank being public employment is covered under State and Article 16 of the constitution. That Employment
Exchange is only agency. Any person seeking employment could register himself guaranteeing equality of opportunity
of employment. That person engaged on temporary basis on stop gap arrangement without proper procedure has no right
for permanent appointment. That workman was engaged on day to day basis as per requirement without following
prescribed procedure by Branch Manager on consolidated wages. 2nd party reiterated that workman had not completed
240 days service during 12 months preceding his termination. His claim for regularization is not justified. there was no
question of terminating services of workman as there was no employer employee relationship between parties. Violation
of Section 25-F, G, N, H of ID Act is denied. Workman is not entitled to protection under ID Act. On such contentions,
2nd party prays for rejection of claim.
5. Ist party workman filed rejoinder at Page 10/1 to 10/5 reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.
6. Though application under Section 36(3)(4) of ID Act is filed, it appears that the application was not pressed at the
time of recording evidence of both parties.
7. 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 Bank of India in denying
regularization and terminating the services of Shri Deepak, Ex-sepoy
w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

REASONS
8. Workman is challenging termination of his service for violation of Section 25-F,G,N of ID Act. he also contends
violation of Section 25-H of ID Act. management of 2nd party has opposed the claim filing Written Statement. Workman
filed affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit, workman says he was engaged as Badli Sepoy from 1-7-87 by Branch
Manager Shri Subhash Kulkarni in Rau branch. He worked satisfactorily in said branch till 30-8-97. Then he was
transferred to Satha bazaar branch, Indore. He resumed duty in said branch on 15-3-89. He continuously worked till
1980 to 1997. He completed more than 240 days continuous service. He was paid bonus for the year1989 to 1995.
Bonus for the year 96-97 was not paid. His services were terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation was not
paid to him. In his cross-examination, workman says he was engaged by Branch Manager Shri Kulkarni, he was not
knowing about the vacancies prior to his engagement. Post was not advertised in newspaper. His name was not
sponsored through Employment Exchange. He was interviewed. He was not acquainted with him. other candidates had
also submitted application. Appointment letter was not given to him. he has produced documents about payment of
bonus. He produced documents about his attendance. Branch Manager Nayak retired in 1997. He had given copy of
Attendance after his retirement. He was working as sweeper. He did not do other work in the Bank. His wages were paid
by Branch Manager. His signature was obtained in the diary.
9. Management’s witness Subhash Kulkarni Branch Manager filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions in
Written Statement of 2nd party. His affidavit is devoted about the vacancies in subordinate staff are required to be
notified to Employment Exchange. The vacancies are also filed from other sources if Employment Exchange gives non-
availability certificate. That Union is not functioning in the Bank. Any regular staff is not member of Union. His
affidavit is also devoted after verification of character and antecedents of the candidates in subordinate cadre as per
circular dated 1-10-91. That workman not completed 240 days continuous service during 1987 to 30-8-97. In his cross-
examination, management’s witness says Circular Exhibit M-1 was not followed before engaging workman. He was
not interviewed. Workman was temporarily engaged, appointment letter was not given to him. Witness was working at
Satta Bazar branch during 1992 to 1995. He was also working in the branch prior to it. He discussed matter with earlier
Branch Manager Shri Oswal. He claims ignorance about documents about payment of bonus. Notice was not issued to
workman, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him as he was temporarily engaged.
10. Management’s witness Shri Vishwanath Pandey filed affidavit of his evidence. Management’s witness says Branch
Manager has no authority to appoint any person in subordinate cadre. There was no sanction of permission of
competent authority to provide employment. Branch Manager had to make necessary arrangement for miscellaneous job
of work. Workman had not completed 240 days service. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he was
posted in main branch Indore during 1996-97. Attendance Register was not maintained, appointment letter was not given
to him. permission of Controlling Authority was not taken before engagement of workman. Workman was paid wages
by Branch Manager. Amount was reimbursed to him. Witness claims ignorance whether workman was issued notice,
retrenchment compensation was paid. He also claims ignorance about payment of bonus to workman.
11. Ist party workman has not examined any other witness in support of his claim completing 240 days continuous
service during each of the year.
12. Turning to documentary evidence, Exhibit W-9 pertains to prohibition of engagement of casual labour. In Exhibit
W-10 & 11, chart of payment of bonus for 1994-95 working days of workman are shown 233 days in 1994-95, 235 days
in 1995-96.
13. 2nd party submitted notes of argument emphasizing that workman had not completed 240 days continuous service.
Workman was unable to tell about his working days in any of the year.
14. Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri A.K.Shashi relies on ratio held in case between Surendranagar District Panchayat
versus Dahyabhai Amarsingh reported in 2005(8)SCC-750. Their Lordship dealing with Section 25-F, 25 B of ID Act
held facts must be proved by workman to claim protection under Section 25-F are that (i) there exists relationship of
employer and employee, (ii) he is a workman under Section 2(s), (iii) establishment in which he is employed is an
Industry within meaning of the Act and (iv) he has put in not less than one year of continuous service as defined in
Section 25 B under the employer. That onus to prove 240 days continuous service lies on workman.
The evidence discussed above has failed to establish that he completed 240 days continuous service.
In Case between Karnataka State road Transport Corporation and another versus S.G.Kotturappa and another reported
in 2005-II-LLJ- 462 by Rajasthan High court, 2009-17-SC-473, 2001-LLR-971 judgment by MP High Court, 2007-1-
SCC-408, AIR 2005-SCC-1790, AIR-2007-SC-1166, 2007-3-LLJ-163, 2006-II-SCC-716. Ratio in all those cases needs
no detailed discussion as from evidence of Ist party workman, it is not established that he completed 240 days
continuous service during any of the year. Therefore workman is not covered under Section 25 B of ID Act. He is not
entitled to protection of Section 25 B of ID Act. the claim of workman for regularization cannot be upheld when
workman has not completed 240 days continuous service during any of the year. Therefore I record my finding in Point
No.1 in Affirmative.
38
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
15. Point No. 2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 workman has not established his claim for regularization in
service, termination of service are not in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Therefore workman is not entitled to any
relief. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No. 2.
16. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1) The action of the management of Bank of India in denying regularization and terminating the services of
Shri Devanand Sakunia, Ex-sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and proper.
(2) Workman is not entitled to any relief.

circular dated 1-10-91. That workman not completed 240 days continuous service during 1987 to 30-8-97. In his cross-
examination, management’s witness says he was not posted in Siyaganj branch during 1987 to 1997. Again says he
was posted in Siyaganj during 1996-97. He had not taken information from previous Branch Managers. He did not see
any documents of the year 1985. Any conciliation process was not followed before engaging workman. permission of
controlling Officer was not taken for his engagement. Attendance Register of workman was not maintained. Wages of
workman were paid by Branch Manager. The amount was reimbursed to him. workman was paid wages in cash. His

claims ignorance about notice of termination given to workman or payment of retrenchment compensation to him.
10. Ist party workman has not examined any other witness in support of his claim completing 240 days continuous
service during each of the year.
11. Documents produced by workman Exhibit W-5 pertains to prohibition of engagement of casual labours vide
letter dated 8-5-93. Exhibit W-1 to W-4, W-6 to 8 also pertains to prohibition of engagement of casual labours.
12. 2nd party submitted notes of argument emphasizing that workman had not completed 240 days continuous
service. Workman was unable to tell about his working days in any of the year.
13. Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri A.K.Shashi relies on ratio held in case between.
Surendranagar District Panchayat versus Dahyabhai Amarsingh reported in 2005(8)SCC-750. Their Lordship dealing
with Section 25-F, 25 B of ID Act held facts must be proved by workman to claim protection under Section 25-F are
that (i) there exists relationship of employer and employee, (ii) he is a workman under Section 2(s), (iii) establishment
in which he is employed is an Industry within meaning of the Act and (iv) he has put in not less than one year of
continuous service as defined in Section 25 B under the employer. That onus to prove 240 days continuous service lies
on workman.
The evidence discussed above has failed to establish that he completed 240 days continuous service.
In Case between Karnataka State road Transport Corporation and another versus S.G.Kotturappa and another reported
in 2005-II-LLJ- 462 by Rajasthan High court, 2009-17-SC-473, 2001-LLR-971 judgment by MP High Court, 2007-1-
SCC-408, AIR 2005-SCC-1790, AIR-2007-SC-1166, 2007-3-LLJ-163, 2006-II-SCC-716. Ratio in all those cases needs
no detailed discussion as from evidence of Ist party workman, it is not established that he completed 240 days
continuous service during any of the year. Therefore workman is not covered under Section 25 B of ID Act. he is not
entitled to protection of Section 25 B of ID Act. the claim of workman for regularization cannot be upheld when
workman has not completed 240 days continuous service during any of the year. Therefore I record my finding in Point
No.1 in Affirmative.
14. Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 workman has not established his claim for regularization in
service, termination of service are not in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Therefore workman is not entitled to any
relief. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No. 2.
15. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1) The action of the management of Bank of India in denying regularization and terminating the services of
Shri Prakash, Ex-sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and proper.
(2) Workman is not entitled to any relief.

reference is misconceived. Workman was not employee of the Bank. Therefore dispute deserves to be rejected. Casual
labour engaged on basis of day to day requirement by Branch Manager. Such engagement comes to end after end of the
day. The dis-engagement of such worker is covered under Section 2(oo)(bb) of ID Act. 2nd party contends that workman

day. That Ist party is covered as employee under Section 25 B of ID Act. The selection process as per the directions of
Central Government was not followed. Workman was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. Employment in
2nd party Bank being public employment is covered under State and Article 16 of the constitution. That Employment
Exchange is only agency. Any person seeking employment could register himself guaranteeing equality of opportunity
of employment. That person engaged on temporary basis on stop gap arrangement without proper procedure has no right
for permanent appointment. That workman was engaged on day to day basis as per requirement without following
prescribed procedure by Branch Manager on consolidated wages. 2nd party reiterated that workman had not completed
240 days service during 12 months preceding his termination. His claim for regularization is not justified. there was no
question of terminating services of workman as there was no employer employee relationship between parties. Violation
of Section 25-F, G, N, H of ID Act is denied. Workman is not entitled to protection under ID Act. On such contentions,
2nd party prays for rejection of claim.

time of recording evidence of both parties.
7. 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 Bank of India in terminating
the services of Shri Anil Mishra w.e.f. 31-12-99 and not paying him
bonus is legal and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
8. Workman is challenging termination of his service for violation of Section 25-F, G, N of ID Act. he also contends
violation of Section 25-H of ID Act. management of 2nd party has opposed the claim filing Written Statement. Workman
filed affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit, workman says he was engaged as Badli Sepoy from 1-1-88 by Branch
Manager shri J.B.Kulkarni in Rau branch. He worked satisfactorily in said branch till 31-12-99. Then he was transferred
to Satha bazaar branch, Indore. He resumed duty in said branch on 15-3-89. He continuously worked till 1980 to 1997.
He completed more than 240 days continuous service. He was paid bonus for the year1989 to 1995. Bonus for the year
96-97 was not paid. His services were terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. In his
cross-examination, workman says he doesnot know English. He was engaged by Branch Manager Shri Ramesh. His
mother was working at Manager’s residence. On that basis, he was engaged on work. His name was not sponsored
through Employment Exchange. He was engaged on same day he submitted application. From 1988 to 1999, he worked
in different branches. He was unable to tell specific years in the respective branches. He has not received order to work
in other branches. In 1988, he worked for 252 days. Certificate of his working days was issued by Mr. Ramesh. He was
member of Daily Wages Bank Employees Union. He was unable to tell year of his membership. He was paying
membership contribution Rs. 120 per year.
9. Management’s witness Shri Bhupesh Joshi filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions in Written
Statement of 2nd party. His affidavit is devoted about the vacancies in subordinate staff are required to be notified to
Employment Exchange. The vacancies are also filed from other sources if Employment Exchange gives non-availability
certificate. That Union is not functioning in the Bank. Any regular staff is not member of Union. His affidavit is also
devoted after verification of character and antecedents of the candidates in subordinate cadre as per circular dated
1-10-91. That workman not completed 240 days continuous service during 1987 to 30-8-97. In his cross-examination,
management’s witness says that workman was engaged on daily wages, Exhibit M-1 was not followed. Before filing
affidavit of his evidence, he had discussed with Branch Manager Shri Oswal. Attendance Register of workman was not
maintained. Workman was paid wages by Branch Manager, its amount was reimbursed to him. he claims ignorance
whether circular about reimbursement is produced. He also claims ignorance about payment of bonus to workman.
workman was not served with notice, no retrenchment compensation was paid to him.
10. Ist party workman has not examined any other witness in support of his claim completing 240 days continuous
service during each of the year or working in Bank during 1996-97.
11. Turning to documentary evidence, Exhibit M-1 is copy of circular Dated 31-12-80 relating to recruitment of
subordinate staff. Admitted documents Letter dated 8-5-93, 12-3-94 relates to prohibition of engagement of casual
employees.
12. 2nd party submitted notes of argument emphasizing that workman had not completed 240 days continuous
service. Workman was unable to tell about his working days in any of the year.
13. Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri A.K.Shashi relies on ratio held in case between.

Surendranagar District Panchayat versus Dahyabhai Amarsingh reported in 2005(8)SCC-750. Their Lordship dealing
with Section 25-F, 25 B of ID Act held facts must be proved by workman to claim protection under Section 25-F are
that (i) there exists relationship of employer and employee, (ii) he is a workman under Section 2(s), (iii) establishment
in which he is employed is an Industry within meaning of the Act and (iv) he has put in not less than one year of
continuous service as defined in Section 25 B under the employer. That onus to prove 240 days continuous service lies
on workman.
The evidence discussed above has failed to establish that he completed 240 days continuous service.
In Case between Karnataka State road Transport Corporation and another versus S.G.Kotturappa and another reported
in 2005-II-LLJ- 462 by Rajasthan High court, 2009-17-SC-473, 2001-LLR-971 judgment by MP High Court, 2007-1-
SCC-408, AIR 2005-SCC-1790, AIR-2007-SC-1166, 2007-3-LLJ-163, 2006-II-SCC-716. Ratio in all those cases needs
no detailed discussion as from evidence of Ist party workman, it is not established that he completed 240 days
continuous service during any of the year. Therefore workman is not covered under Section 25 B of ID Act. he is not
entitled to protection of Section 25F of ID Act. the claim of workman for regularization cannot be upheld when
workman has not completed 240 days continuous service during any of the year. Therefore I record my finding in Point
No.1 in Affirmative.
14. Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 workman has not established his claim for regularization in
service, termination of service are not in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Therefore workman is not entitled to any
relief. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No. 2.
15. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1) The action of the management of Bank of India in terminating the services of Shri Anil Mishra w.e.f. 31-12-99 and
not paying him bonus is legal and proper.
(2) Workman is not entitled to any relief.

in Rau branch during the relevant period. He had not taken information from said Bank. He claims ignorance
about transfer of workman to main branch. He claims ignorance whether employee engaged on daily wages
could not be transferred. He claims ignorance about order of transfer dated 14-3-89. During 1992 to 1995, he

more than 240 days during each of the year. In main branch, he worked under different Branch Managers. He filed Writ
Petition before High Court, Indore bench for regularization of his service. During pendency of Writ Petition, his services
were terminated on 30-8-97. That he is covered as employee under Section 25 B of ID Act as he worked more than 240
days during each of the year. His services were terminated without notice. Retrenchment compensation was not paid to
him. termination of his service is in violation of section 25-F of ID Act and para 507, 524 of Sastry Award. The violation
of section 25-G, N of ID Act is committed by management as policy of last come first go was not followed. After
termination of his service, he is unemployed. Overlooking he worked more than 240 days, his services were terminated.
He was not provided re-employment, thereby management violated Section 25 H of ID Act. He was not paid bonus for
1995-96, 96-97 under Section 8 of payment of Bonus Act. On such contentions, workman prays for his reinstatement
with backwages.
3. 2nd party management filed Written Statement at Page 8/1 to 8/5 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party raised
preliminary objection that employer employee relationship doesnot exist between parties. There was no question of
terminating services of workman. Union was not in existence in organization of 2nd party. Union has no locus-standi to
raise the dispute.
4. That workman has raised dispute contending that his services are terminated in violation of provisions of ID Act.
reference is misconceived. Workman was not employee of the Bank. Therefore dispute deserves to be rejected. Casual
labour engaged on basis of day to day requirement by Branch Manager. Such engagement comes to end after end of the
day. The dis-engagement of such worker is covered under Section 2(oo)(bb) of ID Act. 2nd party contends that workman
was entitled for payment of bonus for the year 1992 to 1996, he was paid bonus for those respective years. Workman
had not completed 240 days continuous service during any of the year. There was no question of illegal retrenchment of
workman. when person is engaged on daily wages, the contract of engagement starts in morning and ends at end of the
day. That Ist party is covered as employee under Section 25 B of ID Act. The selection process as per the directions of
Central Government was not followed. Workman was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. Employment in
2nd party Bank being public employment is covered under State and Article 16 of the constitution. That Employment
Exchange is only agency. Any person seeking employment could register himself guaranteeing equality of opportunity
of employment. That person engaged on temporary basis on stop gap arrangement without proper procedure has no right
for permanent appointment. That workman was engaged on day to day basis as per requirement without following
prescribed procedure by Branch Manager on consolidated wages. 2nd party reiterated that workman had not completed
240 days service during 12 months preceding his termination. His claim for regularization is not justified. there was no
question of terminating services of workman as there was no employer employee relationship between parties. Violation
of Section 25-F,G,N,H of ID Act is denied. Workman is not entitled to protection under ID Act. On such contentions, 2nd
party prays for rejection of claim.
5. Ist party workman filed rejoinder at Page 10/1 to 10/5 reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.
6. Though application under Section 36(3)(4) of ID Act is filed, it appears that the application was not pressed at the
time of recording evidence of both parties.
7. 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 Bank of India in
denying regularization and terminating the services of Shri Atul
Joshi, Ex-Sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
REASONS
8. Workman is challenging termination of his service for violation of Section 25-F,G,N of ID Act. he also contends
violation of Section 25-H of ID Act. Management of 2nd party has opposed the claim filing Written Statement. Workman
filed affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit, workman says he was engaged as Badli Sepoy from 1-5-90 by Branch
Manager Shri J. B. Kulkarni in Rau branch. He worked satisfactorily in said branch till 30-8-97. Then he was
transferred to Satha bazaar branch, Indore. He resumed duty in said branch on 15-3-89. He continuously worked till
1980 to 1997. He completed more than 240 days continuous service. He was paid bonus for the year1989 to 1995.
Bonus for the year 96-97 was not paid. His services were terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation was not
paid to him. In his cross-examination, workman says was member of Daily Wage Bank Employees Union since 1994.
He paid membership contribution Rs.120 per year. He was engaged by Branch Manager Shri Kulkarni, he was not
acquainted with him. his mother was working as maid at house of Branch manager. Wife of Shri Kulkarni told his
mother to send her sons in Bank. He was doing work other than sweeping. Post was not advertised. His name was
sponsored through Employment Exchange. He was interviewed by branch Manager Shri Kulkarni. Appointment letter
was not given to him. his wages were paid by Branch Manager every day.
9. Management’s witness Subhash Kulkarni Branch Manager filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions
in Written Statement of 2nd party. His affidavit is devoted about the vacancies in subordinate staff are required to be
notified to Employment Exchange. The vacancies are also filed from other sources if Employment Exchange gives non-
availability certificate. That Union is not functioning in the Bank. Any regular staff is not member of Union. His
affidavit is also devoted after verification of character and antecedents of the candidates in subordinate cadre as per
circular dated 1-10-91. That workman not completed 240 days continuous service during 1987 to 30-8-97. In his cross-
examination, management’s witness says Circular Exhibit M-1 doesnot apply to temporary employees. He had
discussed about matter with Branch Manager Shri Oswal. Shri oswal may have been working in Satta Bazar branch
during 1993-94. He was not sure. When other employees were on leave, daily wage employees were engaged. There
muster roll were not maintained. Branch Manager was paying wages. The amount was reimbursed to him. he was unable
to tell documents in that regard are produced in the case. He claims ignorance about documents of payment of bonus.
Workman was not served notice. Retrenchment compensation was not paid to him as he was engaged as daily wager.
10. Management’s witness Shri Vishwanath Pandey filed affidavit of his evidence. Management’s witness says
Branch Manager has no authority to appoint any person in subordinate cadre. There was no sanction of permission of
competent authority to provide employment. Branch Manager had to make necessary arrangement for miscellaneous job
of work. Workman had not completed 240 days service. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he was
posted in main branch Indore during 1996-97. Attendance Register was not maintained, appointment letter was not given
to him. permission of Controlling Authority was not taken before engagement of workman. workman was paid wages by
Branch Manager. Amount was reimbursed to him. Witness claims ignorance whether workman was issued notice,
retrenchment compensation was paid. He also claims ignorance about payment of bonus to workman.
11. Ist party workman has not examined any other witness in support of his claim completing 240 days continuous
service during each of the year.
12. Turning to documentary evidence, Exhibit W-1 to W-8 pertains to prohibition of engagement of casual labour in
the Bank. Management produced Exhibit M-1 relates to the rules about recruitment of subordinate staff. Copy of chart
about payment of bonus for the year 1994-95 is produced. 256 working days of workman are shown in 1994-95 and 254
working days in 1995-96.
13. 2nd party submitted notes of argument emphasizing that workman had not completed 240 days continuous
service. Workman was unable to tell about his working days in any of the year.
14. Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri A.K.Shashi relies on ratio held in case between
Surendranagar District Panchayat versus Dahyabhai Amarsingh reported in 2005(8)SCC-750. Their Lordship dealing
with Section 25-F, 25 B of ID Act held facts must be proved by workman to claim protection under Section 25-F are
that (i) there exists relationship of employer and employee, (ii) he is a workman under Section 2(s), (iii) establishment
in which he is employed is an Industry within meaning of the Act and (iv) he has put in not less than one year of
continuous service as defined in Section 25 B under the employer. That onus to prove 240 days continuous service lies
on workman.
The evidence discussed above has failed to establish that he completed 240 days continuous service.
In Case between Karnataka State road Transport Corporation and another versus S.G.Kotturappa and another reported
in 2005-II-LLJ- 462 by Rajasthan High court, 2009-17-SC-473, 2001-LLR-971 judgment by MP High Court, 2007-1-
SCC-408, AIR 2005-SCC-1790, AIR-2007-SC-1166, 2007-3-LLJ-163, 2006-II-SCC-716. Ratio in all those cases needs
no detailed discussion as from evidence of Ist party workman. workman completed more than 240 days in 1995-96 and
not 12 months preceding termination of his service on 30-8-97.Shri A.K.shashi on the point relies on ratio held by
Hon’ble Delhi High Court in Writ petition No. 4093/96 in case between Prem Singh versus Presiding Officer, Labour
Court No. V & another. In Para 5 of the judgment, his Lordship considering evidence of management’s witness No.2,
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % tuojh 2] 2016@ikS"k 12] 1937
49
the petitioner worked only for 131 ½ days in 1981, 249 days in 1982, 194 days in 1983, 270 days in 1984. Following
ratio held in case of Mohanlal that on principle and on precedent it must be held that Section 25 B(2) comprehends a
situation where a workman is not in employment for a period of 12 calendar months but has rendered service for a
period of 240 days within the period of 12 calendar months commencing and counting backwards from the relevant date
i.e. the date of retrenchment. If he has he would be deemed to be in continuous service for a period of one year for the
purpose of Section 25 B and Chapter VA.
15. Point No. 2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 workman has not established his claim for regularization in
service, termination of service are not in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Therefore workman is not entitled to any
relief. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No. 2.
16. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management of Bank of India in denying regularization and terminating the services of Shri
Atul Joshi, Ex-Sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and proper.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

Ex-sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and justified?

REASONS
8. Workman is challenging termination of his service for violation of Section 25-F,G,N of ID Act. he also contends

He completed more than 240 days continuous service. He was paid bonus for the year1989 to 1995. Bonus for the year
96-97 was not paid. His services were terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. In his
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % tuojh 2] 2016@ikS"k 12] 1937
51
cross-examination, workman says he doesnot know English. His father was pressing clothes of Branch Manager
Kulkarni. As he was acquainted with Branch Manager, he was engaged on work. He submitted application but was
unable to tell the time. He claimed ignorance whether post was advertised. His name was not sponsored through
Employment Exchange. He was orally interviewed. When he was engaged, 10-12 peons were working in the branch. He
was paid on daily wage basis. Workman was unable to tell his working days during any of the year.
9. Management’s witness Subhash Kulkarni Branch Manager filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions
in Written Statement of 2nd party. His affidavit is devoted about the vacancies in subordinate staff are required to be
notified to Employment Exchange. The vacancies are also filed from other sources if Employment Exchange gives non-

affidavit is also devoted after verification of character and antecedents of the candidates in subordinate cadre as per
circular dated 1-10-91. That workman not completed 240 days continuous service during 1987 to 30-8-97. In his cross-
examination, management’s witness says that workman was engaged on daily wages, Exhibit M-1 was not followed.
Before filing affidavit of his evidence, he had discussed with Branch Manager Shri Oswal. Attendance Register of
workman was not maintained. Workman was paid wages by Branch Manager, its amount was reimbursed to him. He
claims ignorance whether circular about reimbursement is produced. He also claims ignorance about payment of bonus
to workman. Workman was not served with notice, no retrenchment compensation was paid to him.
10. Management’s witness Shri Vishwanath Pandey filed affidavit of his evidence. Management’s witness says
Branch Manager has no authority to appoint any person in subordinate cadre. There was no sanction of permission of
competent authority to provide employment. Branch Manager had to make necessary arrangement for miscellaneous job
of work. Workman had not completed 240 days service. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he was

to him. permission of Controlling Authority was not taken before engagement of workman. Workman was paid wages
by Branch Manager. Amount was reimbursed to him. Witness claims ignorance whether workman was issued notice,
retrenchment compensation was paid. He also claims ignorance about payment of bonus to workman.
11. Ist party workman has not examined any other witness in support of his claim completing 240 days continuous
service during each of the year.
12. Turning to documentary evidence, Exhibit W-1 to W-4 pertains to prohibition of engagement of casual labour. In
statement of payment of bonus for the year 1995-96, working days of workman are shown only 222 days.
13. 2nd party submitted notes of argument emphasizing that workman had not completed 240 days continuous
service. Workman was unable to tell about his working days in any of the year.
14. Learned Counsel for 2nd party Shri A.K.Shashi relies on ratio held in case between
Surendranagar District Panchayat versus Dahyabhai Amarsingh reported in 2005(8)SCC-750. Their Lordship dealing
with Section 25-F, 25 B of ID Act held facts must be proved by workman to claim protection under Section 25-F are
that (i) there exists relationship of employer and employee, (ii) he is a workman under Section 2(s), (iii) establishment
in which he is employed is an Industry within meaning of the Act and (iv) he has put in not less than one year of
continuous service as defined in Section 25 B under the employer. That onus to prove 240 days continuous service lies
on workman.
The evidence discussed above has failed to establish that he completed 240 days continuous service.
In Case between Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation and Another Versus S.G.Kotturappa and Another
reported in 2005-II-LLJ- 462 by Rajasthan High Court, 2009-17-SC-473, 2001-LLR-971 judgment by MP High Court,
2007-1-SCC-408, AIR 2005-SCC-1790, AIR-2007-SC-1166, 2007-3-LLJ-163, 2006-II-SCC-716. Ratio in all those
cases needs no detailed discussion as from evidence of Ist party workman, it is not established that he completed 240
days continuous service during any of the year. Therefore workman is not covered under Section 25 B of ID Act. He is
not entitled to protection of Section 25 B of ID Act. The claim of workman for regularization cannot be upheld when
workman has not completed 240 days continuous service during any of the year. Therefore I record my finding in Point
No.1 in Affirmative.
15. Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 workman has not established his claim for regularization in
service, termination of service are not in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Therefore workman is not entitled to any
relief. Accordingly, I record my finding in Point no. 2.
16. In the result, Award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management of Bank of India in denying regularization and terminating the services of Shri
Devanand Sakunia, Ex-sepoy w.e.f. 30-8-97 is legal and proper.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

Dated: 14th December, 2015
AWARD
By Order No.L-32011/04/2014-IR(B-II) dated 17/23.02.2015 the Government of India, Ministry of Labour in
exercise of its powers under Section 10(1)(d) and (2A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, referred the following
dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication:
“Whether the action of the management in not paying the consolidated overtime to the crews of engine room
deployed on board the Tug KALIKATA without any notice under Section 9A of the I.D. Act, 1947, was
justified? What relief the workmen are entitled to?”
2.
When the case is taken up today for hearing, none appears on behalf of the union though the management is
represented by its authorized representative. It appears from the record that on 12.05.2015 the union appeared through its
authorized representative for the last time. Thereafter none appeared on behalf of the union on the last three consecutive
dates.
3.
Considering the facts and circumstances it appears that the union is not willing to proceed with the case further.
So, no fruitful purpose will be served in keeping the matter pending further.
4.
Accordingly, the present reference is disposed of by passing a “No Dispute Award”.

Government hereby publishes the Award (Ref. No. 295/2011))of the Cent.Govt.Indus.Tribunal-cum-Labour

[No. L-12012/11/2011- IR(B-II)]
RAVI KUMAR, Desk Officer
ANNEXURE
IN THE COURT OF SHRI AVTAR CHAND DOGRA, PRESIDING OFFICER, CENTRAL GOVERNMENT
INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL-CUM-LABOUR COURT NO.1, KARKARDOOMA COURT COMPLEX, DELHI
ID No. 295/2011
Shri Dil Bahadur,
C/o Yash Pal Sethi, 73-G,
CPWD, Lok Sabha Quarters,
Vasant Vihar,
New Delhi
…Workman
Versus
The Deputy General Manager,
Andhra Bank, Sector 17,
Chandigarh
…Management
AWARD
Factual matrix giving rise to the present dispute is that Shri Dil Bahadur, workman herein was appointed as part
time sweeper on 01.01.2007 at Palam Vihar Branch of Andhra Bank, the management. He remained there till
02.04.2010 when the management terminated his services by oral orders. In fact, the post on which the workman was
working was filled up by the management by posting an employee of the same cadre , who was earlier working at
Gurgaon Housing Finance, Sector 14 branch of the management.
2.
Feeling aggrieved, the workman herein filed a dispute before the Conciliation Officer. However, the
proceedings failed due to unreasonable and adamant attitude of the management. The appropriate Government found
merit in the dispute filed by the workman and thereafter made a reference vide letter No.L-12012/11/2011-IR(B-II)
dated 19.07.2011 with the following terms:
“Whether the action of the management of Deputy General Manager, Andhra Bank, Chandigarh in terminating
the services of Shri Dil Bahadur, Ex-Part Time Sweeper at Palam Vihar, Gurgaon branch with effect from
02.04.2010 is just, fair and legal? What relief the workman is entitled to?”
3.
There are averments that the Branch Manager of Palam Vihar Branch has in fact engaged the workman herein
as a part time sweeper in his branch and on the advice of the Manager the workman has also opened an account with the
branch. Workman accepted the offer of the Branch Manager and joined services. Wages of the workman were being
paid through vouchers and credited in the Saving Bank Account maintained with Palam Vihar branch of the
management. The workman has served the branch sincerely and faithfully and there was no complaint against the
workman regarding his working. Workman was not issued any charge sheet nor was any disciplinary enquiry conducted
against him. He has worked for more than 240 days in each calendar year since the time of his appointment. It is also
alleged that there is violation of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act as no notice was served upon the workman
before his retrenchment. This action of the management in terminating his services is totally illegal. A prayer has been
made to declare action of the management as unlawful and illegal and to reinstate him in service with retrospective
effect from the date of termination of his service, i.e. 02.04.2010.
4.
Management has demurred the claim of the workman by filing written statement, wherein certain preliminary
objections have been taken. It is alleged that the reference made to the Tribunal is improper and illegal and name of the
workman was not sponsored by any Employment Exchange. All engagements, including that of part time sweepers are
supposed to be done by following recruitment norms laid down by the Bank. Sweepers are engaged either on
consolidated wages or 1/3 scale of wages.
5.
Management, on merits, denied that the workman herein was appointed as a part time sweeper by them.
However, it is admitted that services of the workman were utilized at Palam Vihar Branch as a casual labour for a
54
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
specified period and as a stop gap arrangement till post of sweeper at the branch was filled up by a regularly recruited
person. Same was done by the Manager of the branch without having any powers vested in him. There was no valid
relationship of employer and employee between the management and the workman. It is also denied that the workman
has served at Palam Vihar branch with effect from 01.01.2007 till 02.04.2010. Averments made in the remaining paras
in the statement of claim have also been denied by the management. It is also denied that the workman has worked for
240 days in each calendar year. Finally, it is prayed that the claim petition may be dismissed.
6.
My learned predecessor vide order dated 12.12.2011 observed that no specific issue from the pleadings of the
parties is framed as this Tribunal is of the view that no other issue except those referred by the appropriate Government
in terms of reference requires adjudication.
7.
Thereafter, workman herein filed affidavit Ex.WW1/A and tendered some documents, in support of the
averments made in the claim petition. It is clear from perusal of the affidavit that all material averments contained in the
statement of claim has been reiterated in his affidavit. No other witness was examined by the claimant.
8.
Management, in support of its case, examined Shri Pradeep Kumar Tiwari MW1 and Shri Purnachandra Rao,
MW2 and their affidavits are Ex.MW1/A and Ex.MW2/A respectively. Both parties have also tendered in evidence
certain documents and I would be adverting to the same during the course of discussions.
9.
I have heard Shri Harish Sharma, A/R for the claimant and Shri N.P. Gaur, A/R for the management.
10.
It is clear from averments made in the statement of claim as well as affidavit Ex.WW1/A that the workman
herein was engaged as a part time sweeper in Palam Vihar branch of the management on 01.01.2007. There is also
evidence on record to suggest that salary of the workman was being credited in his SB account. It is clear from perusal
of extract of pass book of the account Ex.WW1/2 that the SB account admittedly was in the name of Shri Dil Bahadur
Basnet, House No.2641, F Block, Palam Vihar, Gurgaon. During the course of arguments, it was not disputed that the
above SB account was in the name of the workman. It is further clear from perusal of entries dated 24.12.2008 onwards
that different amounts have been credited in the name of the workman and entry dated 24.03.2009 clearly shows that
there is mention of arrears for September 2007. An amount of Rs.17,453.15 has been credited by the bank in favour of
the workman. Even subsequent entries contained in Ex.WW1/4 also shows that salary for May 2009 and salary for
August 2009 was also deposited in the name of the workman. Extract of the account Ex.WW1/5 further authenticates
payment of salary for August 2009 on 07.09.2009 in favour of the workman. To the same effect are the other entries
contained in Ex.WW1/7 and Ex.WW1/8.
11.
During the course of arguments, attention of the court was also invited to para 6 of the written statement filed
by the management, wherein it is mentioned that as per records of the bank, services of the workman was utilized at
Palam Vihar branch of the management as casual labour for a specified period and stop gap arrangement till post of
sweeper at the said branch was filled by regularly recruited person. This admission made by the management, in its
pleadings clearly establishes engagement of claimant herein a part time sweeper at Palam Vihar branch by the
management. It is now for the bank to show under which provision of law or norms such engagement was made by
them. It is also admitted case of the parties that the work of safai karamchari is regular in nature and the management
has terminated services of the workman herein so as to appoint a regular person in his place.
12.
At this stage, it is appropriate to refer to the evidence adduced by the bank. It is clear from affidavit
Ex.WW1/A of Shri Pradeep Kumar Tiwari, that the management has laid down policy and procedure for the engagement
of part time sweepers and persons who are sponsored by the Employment Exchange or who have responded to the
notification issued by the Bank are considered for the said post. The workman was neither sponsored by the
Employment Exchange nor applied for the post. As such, his services in fact were never terminated by the Deputy
General Manager of the bank. Though in para 3 it is alleged that the workman was never appointed as part time
sweeper by the management at any point of time, however, in the same para it is clearly mentioned services of the
workman were utilized at Palam Vihar branch as casual labour as stop gap arrangement till filling of the post of sweeper
is filled up by regular recruitment. This Tribunal specifically asked the learned A/R for the management as to under
which provision of law engagement of the claimant herein as casual labour or stop gap arrangement was made by the
Manager of the bank. The learned A/R for the management could not cite any rules or regulations so as to show
whether the engagement of the claimant herein was in violation of established norms or not. Shri Pradeep Kuamr
Tiwari, MW1, in his cross examination, has specifically stated that he joined Andhra Bank on 24.10.2011 and the
claimant at that time was not working in the branch and the facts mentioned in his affidavit are based on record. He has
admitted that services of the claimant were engaged by the management for casual jobs. There was a specific query
from the Tribunal whether the management can produce documents which may reflect that the claimant was engaged
intermittently for casual jobs. Time was sought by Shri Tiwari. However, he had not turned up to depose regarding this
fact thereafter nor produced any evidence in support of his affidavit.
13.
Shri Purnachandra Rao, MW2 has deposed that he was working with the management since 1983 and after
seeing Ex.WW1/1, he deposed that claimant might have been working with the management in his capacity as casual
labour. Letter Ex.WW1/1 is written by the Zonal Manager (Assistant General Manager) of the management and the
same is addressed to the Assistant Labour Commissioner. It is clearly mentioned in the letter that Shri Dil Bahadur,
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % tuojh 2] 2016@ikS"k 12] 1937
55
workman herein, has worked continuously from January 2007 till March 2010. There is also mention in the letter that
the claim of the workman for regular appointment cannot be considered as the appointment is not as per the rules. But
one thing is clear from the overall examination of the letter that factum of engagement of the workman herein from
January 2007 to March 2010 stands proved. Shri Purnachandra Rao has also referred to the pass book of the workman
and entries in Ex.WW1/2 to Ex.WW1/4 where payment of wages and bonus etc. have been credited in the account of the
workman.
14.
Now, the vital question which survives for consideration is whether engagement of part time sweeper of casual
labour, as admitted by the management in its evidence as well as pleadings, creates relationship of employer and
employee between the parties. For an answer to this proposition, it is to be appreciated as to how contract of service is
entered between the parties. Law is clear that relationship of employer and employee can be constituted either by a
express or by implied contract between employer and employee. A contract of service is one in which a person
undertakes to serve another and to obey all reasonable orders of the master. A contract can also be inferred from the
conduct and circumstances of the case. It is evident from the evidence of MW1 as well as MW2 as well as admission
made in para 6 of the written statement that the workman herein was engaged as casual labour. The same, in my humble
and considered view, constitutes relationship of employer and employee or master and servant between the parties.
Admittedly, claimant was engaged as part time sweeper and para 508 of Shastri award classifies employees as: (a)
permanent employees, (b) probationers, (c) temporary employees, (d) part time employees. Part time employee has been
defined to mean “an employee who does not or is not required to work for the full period for which an employee is
ordinarily required to work and who is paid on the basis that he is or may be engaged in doing work elsewhere.”
Therefore, it is emerging over the record that the bank engages part time employees also. Such part time employees are
subject to discipline of the bank, when they render services as per the award and settlement. Consequently it does not lie
in the mouth of the bank that the claimant was not its employee. Shri Dil Bahadur was an employee of the bank, who
was engaged on part time basis.
15.
In view of the above discussion, there is hardly any merit in the contention of the A/R for the management that
the claimant was simply engaged to do day today work and hence does not fall within the definition of ‘workman’ under
the ID Act.
16.
It is also held by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Devende Singh vs. Municipal Council Sanaur (2011) SCC 2532
while interpreting definition of workman as contained in Section 2(s) of the Act as under:
‘The source of employment, the method of recruitment, the terms and conditions of employment/contract of
service, the quantum of wages/pay and the mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a
person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not
make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There is
nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only a person employed on
regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,
part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a
workman.’
17.
It is clear that use of expression such as ‘casual’ or ‘temporary’ would be of much value and what is to be seen
is whether the workman is doing services for the employer, who is paying wages to him for the said service. There is
nothing on record to suggest that the workman has not served for 240 days in any calendar year. The management has
not even taken care to produce attendance register or any other document so as to show that in a given year, the
workman herein has not worked for 240 days. Resultantly, this Tribunal is bound to draw adverse inference against the
management.
18.
During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the management heavily relied upon ratio of the case in
Secretary State of Karnataka vs. Uma Devi (2006) (4) SCC I). So as to show that the workman herein was not recruited
in accordance with the rules and regulations inasmuch as no application was invited for the said post nor any procedure
whatsoever was followed by the bank at the time of engagement of the workman herein as part time sweeper etc.
19.
I have carefully gone through the ratio of law in the above rulings and in fact in the said case the Hon’ble Apex
Court has considered abstract question of law as to whether when an appointment made in derogation of rules and
procedures meant for the said post, whether such employment would be in consonance with law or the employee can
claim regular status when no rules or regulations were followed while making such appointment. Hon’ble Apex Court
has also drawn distinction between ‘irregular appointment’ and ‘illegal appointment’. In fact, in the said case, Hon’ble
Apex Court was not at all concerned with the employment of casual labour or daily wagers etc. Ratio of Uma Devi case
also came up for consideration before the Hon’ble Apex Court in ONGC vs. Petroleum Coal Labour Union (2015) Lab
IC 2483. In the said case, it was clarified as under:
“Even though due procedure was not followed by the Corporation for the appointment of the concerned
workmen, this does not disentitle them of their right to seek regularization of their services by the Corporation
under the provisions of the Certified Standing Orders, after they have rendered more than 240 days of service in
a calendar year from the date of the memorandum of appointment issued to each one of the concerned workmen
56
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
in the year 1988. The alleged "policy decision" to appoint CISF personnel to the security post is on deputation
basis and cannot be called appointment per se. Whereas, the concerned workmen have acquired their right to be
regularized under the provision of Clause 2(ii) of the 'Certified Standing Orders.
Further, the concerned workmen have clearly completed more than 240 days of services subsequent to the
memorandum of appointment issued by the Corporation in the year 1988 in a period of twelve calendar months,
therefore, they are entitled for regularization of their services into permanent posts of the Corporation as per the
Act as well as the Certified Standing Orders of the Corporation.”
20.
Thus, it is clear from the above, that in Uma Devi Case, question of employment of workman under the
industrial disputes act was not involved at all and ratio of the said case was held not to be applicable so far as question of
termination of workman under the ID Act was concerned. This fact is amply demonstrated from the following paras:
“Uma Devi does not denude the Industrial and Labour Courts of their statutory power under Section 30 read
with Section 32 of the MRTU and PULP Act to order permanency of the workers who have been victims of
unfair labour practice on the part of the employer under Item 6 of Schedule IV where the posts on which they
have been working exist. Umadevi cannot be held to have overridden the powers of the Industrial and Labour
Courts in passing appropriate order under Section 30 of the MRTU and the PULP Act, once unfair labour
practice on the part of the employer under Item 6 of Schedule IV is established.”
21.
Even provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act and the powers of the Industrial and Labour Courts were not at
all under consideration in Uma Devi case nor the issue pertaining to unfair labour practice was the subject matter of
decision in the said case. Resultantly, when claimant has been held to be a workman under Section 2(s) of the ID Act,
question of irregular or illegal appointment would pale into insignificance, particularly when no order of termination was
issued to the said workman, which is patently against Section 25F of the Act. Management followed policy of hire and
fire in a whimsical manner, leaving the workman at the mercy of God.
22.
Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Ajay Pal Singh vs. Haryana Warehousing Corporation (2015) 6 SC 321
again considered ratio of Uma Devi case (supra) relied upon by the management and held as under:
“When no such plea is taken by the employer in the order of retrenchment that the workman was appointed in
violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India or in violation of any statutory rule or his
appointment was a backdoor appointment, while Page 15 granting relief, the employer cannot take a plea that
initial appointment was in violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India, in absence of a reference
made by the appropriate Government for determination of question whether the initial appointment of the
workman was in violation of Articles 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India or statutory rules. Only if such
reference is made, a workman is required to lead evidence to prove that he was appointed by following
procedure prescribed under the Rules and his initial appointment was legal.”
23.
Since in the case in hand, there is no reference made by the appropriate Government for determination of the
question whether appointment of the workmen herein are in violation of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution or their
initial appointment are illegal or against the statutory rule, as such, Uma Devi case is not at all of any legal help to the
case of the management. It is also necessary to mention here that there is ample evidence on record that the workmen
herein were not even being paid minimum wages, which is statutory requirement under the Minimum Wages Act and the
same amounts to commission of unfair labour practice.
Relief
24.
In view of the discussions above, it is held that action of the management in terminating services of the
workman herein is illegal, null and void. As a sequitur to the above, it is also held that the workman herein is entitled
for reinstatement with 50% back wages inasmuch as the workman herein has not averred in the claim statement that he
remained unemployed from the date of his termination till date. An award is accordingly passed. Let this award be sent
to the appropriate Government, as required under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, for publication.

AWARD
Central Government, vide letter No. L-12012/58/2015-IR(B-1) dated 15.06.2015, referred the following
industrial dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication:
“Whether the action of the management in terminating the services of the workman Shri Chet Ram is illegal
and /or unjustified and, if yes to what relief is the workman entitled and what directions are necessary in this
respect?”
2.
In the reference order, the appropriate Government commanded the party raising the dispute to file statement of
claim, complete with relevant documents, list of reliance and witnesses with this Tribunal within 15 days of receipt of
the reference order and to forward a copy of such statement of claim to the opposite parties involved in the dispute.
Despite directions so given, the claimant opted not to file his claim statement with the Tribunal.
3.
On receipt of the above reference, notice was sent to the claimant as well as the management. Neither the
postal article, referred above, was received back nor was it observed by the Tribunal that postal services remained
affected in the period, referred above. Therefore, every presumption lies in favour of the fact that the above notice was
served upon the claimant. Despite sending notice by registered A.D., neither the claimant nor any authorized
representative on his behalf appeared before the Tribunal so as to pursue his case. Thus, it is clear that the claimant is
not interested in adjudication of the reference on merits.
4.

10.
Written argument has been filed on behalf of the workman in which charge sheet dated-11.10.2002 has been
stated. It has been stated that on charge no.- IV and V which is about manhandling and abusing by Mr. Ghosh. In this
regard it has been stated that relative witness Sri Biresh Kumar, Mr. Ashim Kumar Roy, Chandradeo Sah were not
examined. Management failed to produce him. Accordingly, charge no.-IV & V could not be proved. Deposition of
Sanjay chatterjee M.W-2 is beyond the charge sheet. The charge sheet never alleges physical assult of Mr. Tuddu. MW.-
3 Mr. M.Z.Tuddu has stated that Mr. Ghosh had not misbehaved with him and not made scuffle with him. He had not
misbehaved or made scuffle with any other staff. He further stated that Mr. Ghosh was secretary of the union. It might
be possible that being secretary of the union on the pressure of higher authority he might have been punished. His earlier
deposition was on the dictate of law officer. In respect of charge no.-1 for obtaining three duplicate STDRs by executive
indemnity bond though original STDR already with him. It has been stated by M.W-3 M.Z. Tuddu who has stated that
original STDR of Mr. Ghosh was traced because ealier it was misplaced. He has sent original certificate to Godda
branch. In regard to charge no.-2 which is for encashment of duplicate STDR before maturity on 22.05.1996 as Jamui
branch and thereafter obtain demand loan of Rs. 40,000/- from Godda Branch against original STDR and there by
defrauding the bank. It has been submitted that charge no.-2 relates to encashment duplicate are on premature basis. It
has also been stated that on obtaining loan workman submitted his loan application for treatment of his wife who
suffered 90% burn injury. It was duty of the sanctioning authority i.e the Branch Manager of Godda Branch. He verified
the genuineness of the STDRs. The facts remains that there were NSCs also of P.O Jamui which has been submitted by
the workman as collateral security. M.W-3 in para-12 stated that it appears from the letter that Mr. Ghosh has submitted
NSC from which loan was adjusted apart from that he had given cheque of Rs. 6520/- and pledged NSC. From Ext.-
M/14 it appears that loan was recovered with interest.
11.
Decision reported in AIR2015 SC (Civil) 319 has been filed on behalf of the workman which is not applicable
in the case. Another decision is web copy of decision Supreme Court of India in State Bank of India and others Vs D.C.
Aggarwal and another. In this case appeal of the management bank was dismissed as Disciplinary Authority found that
action of the respondent did not cause any harm to the bank nor the respondnent gained out of it. Another letter dated-
28.09.2000 has sent by Govt. of India for making available a copy of the CVC’s advice to the concerned employee.
12.
No written argument has been filed on behalf of the management but some decision has been filed on behalf of
the management. First decision is AIR 2003 SC 1462 in this case bus conductor found to be carrying ticket less
passengers and certain old and used tickets recovered from him which was gross misconduct/dereliction of duty. It has
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

been hold that bus conductor is person who deals with public money and acts in fiduciary capacity. Charges proved after
an elaborate and fair enquiry, order of dismissal, not disproportionate. It has been observed it whould not be proper to
deal with the matter leniently. Next decision is reported in (2006) 6 Supreme Court Cases 187 in which there was
misappropriation of a small amount of SRTC funds ( Rs. 360.95). It was held a grave act of misconduct and order of
dismissal was passed. Order of reinstatement passed by court below. An appeal of the management was allowed. Next
decision is reported in (2008) I Supreme Court Cases 115 in which workman had not challenged the legality or fairness
of enquiry and it was hold that punishment from removal from service awarded by the punishing authority, held, did not
call for interference.
FINDINGS
13.
There were five charges in the charge sheet dated- 11.10.2002. Charge No.-1 is “ On 22.05.1996 he allegedly
obtained the undernoted duplicate STDRs from Jamui Branch by executing indemnity bond the original STDRs were
already with him. Above named STDR were in the joint name of Mr. Ghosh and Smt. Sabita Ghosh. There is evidence
of M.W-1 in para-4 and this witness stated that Mr. Ghosh had written to Jamui branch of the bank that all the three
STDRs are missing and he requested to issue duplicated STDRs. This witness also referred about Ext.-M/2 to M/3. Ext.-
M is application of Mr. Ghosh and Smt. Sabita Ghosh in which he stated that he want to take before maturity payment of
the caption three STDRs. He has made prayer to issue duplicate STDR and obligie. He had not written that all the STDR
are missing. Ext.-M/1 to M/3 photo stat of it duplicate STDRs. Ext.-M/4 is indemnity bond. In the bond it has not been
stated that original STDRs were missing. But he has stated that he indemnified from and against all consequences that
may arise from their so doing and from payment of the original Deposit Receipt.
14.
Evidence of M.W-3 Mr. M.Z. Tuddu is relevant in this matter because he was posted at Jamui from 1994 to
1998 and Mr. Ghosh was also posted their. He stated that in para-5 that Mr. Ghosh had taken loan from Godda Branch
against original STDR. This witness in cross-examination has stated that original certificate of STDR were traced later
on, because earlier was misplaced and that original certificate was sent to Godda Branch. In this circumstances charge
no.-1 completely failed and found not proved. Chage No.-4 that Sanjay Chatterjee, Shri Biresh Kumar and other staff of
Jamui branch wanted to protect Mr Tuddu from the alleged manhandling by Mr. Ghosh and Mr. Ghosh abused them
also. Charge No.-5 is also related to this matter that due to Mr. Ghosh above said alleged disorderly and indecent
behaviour at the Jamui branch premises Mr. Chandradeb Sah, Guard,came to papcify the matter but Mr. Ghosh abused
him also and left the branch with all the aforesaid documents without delivering the same to the Branch Manager, Jamui
Branch, causing prejudice to the interest of the Bank. In this regards it appears that management witness Md. Ghaffar is
not related that with the incident. It appears that evidence of M.W-1 Md. Ghaffar does not states that things. M.W-2 is
Sanjay Chatterje who stated in para-7 that when Mr. Tuddu has told Mr. Ghosh to wait and he did not receive invalope
and, Ghosh began to abuse. He wanted to scuffle with Mr Tuddu but many person gathered and Mr. Ghosh was
removed from there. This witness had stated in para-14 that for this incident Mr Ghosh had lodged FIR and has alleged
for scuffle with him, it has been marked as Ext.-W and injury report of Mr. Ghosh marked as Ext.-W/1. As such he can
not be said that who had caused scuffle to sustain injury.
More ever Sri Biresh Kumar, Sri Ashim Kumar Roy have not been examined in this case. Chandradeb Sah,
Guard, has also not been examined in the same. Important witness is M.W-3 Manjhee Zubaraj Tudoo who was posted
with Mr. Ghosh posted along with him. This witness in examination in chief in para-2 that Mr. Ghosh had made scuffle
with one Praveen Agrawal and misbehaviour with Anandi Singh both persons have not been examined in this case. In
cross-examination this witness had identified Ext.-M/13. Ext.-M/13 is the letter sent to Asst. General Manager by
Anandi Singh. In this letter Anandi Singh has stated that at the instigation of staff he had written letter for suspension of
Mr. Ghosh. He committed grave mistake he asked parden. He further stated that he is responsible for the punishment
given to Mr. Ghosh for the mistake committed by Mr Anandi Singh. He also requested to exonerate Mr. Ghosh from all
the charges.
Mr. Tudoo also stated in para-13 in cross-examination Mr. Ghosh had not committed any misbehaviour or
scuffle with him. Exchange of the word used to happen. As such charge no.-4 & 5 has not been proved by the
management.
15.
As regard charge no.- 3 which is for receiving from Godda Branch list of other originsting debit and credit
transfer responding dated-30.05.1996 issued by our Godda Branch on our Jamui Branch along with the relative valuable
documents and Godda Branch letter No.- Br./11 dated-30.05.1996 against your acknowledgement, for onward delivery
to Jamui Branch, the aforesaid papers on 31.05.1996 and when Shri M.Z.Tuddu, the then officiating Branch Manager
thereat showed his inability to sanction enhancement in your O.D. limit, you allelgedly abused him and also tried to
physically assault Shri Tuddu in the Jamui Branch premises. In this regard evidence of M.W-1 does not speak anythings.
16.
M.W-1 stated that Shudhanshu Shekhar Ghosh has arrived with some documents in Jamui Branch at that time
he was posted at Jamui and was under suspension. He has also stated in that para-7 Mr. Ghosh has arrived in bank and
told Mr. Tuddu to receive invalope and Mr. Tuddu said to wait then Mr. Ghosh became angry. What was in the invalope
how Mr. Ghosh obtained, has not been explained. M.W-3 is evidence that Mr. Ghosh has told him to receive invalope
and this witness told him to wait. What was the documents has not been established so charge no.-3 is not proved
satisfactorily.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
17.
The matter remains for findings on charge no.-2 which is Mr. Ghosh allegedly encash the aforesaid duplicate
STDRs before maturity on 22.05.1996 at Jamui Branch and thereafter obtained demand loan of Rs. 40000/- ( Rs. Forty
Thousand only ) from Godda Branch on 30.05.1996 against the aforesaid original STDR Nos. 077888 & 077889 each
for Rs. 20000/- and there by defrauded the Bank.
18.
In regard to above mentioned charge, M.W-2 has stated that only about taking loan on the basis of duplicate
STDR. In cross-examination he has stated in para-10 that he knows that Mr. Ghosh has taken loan against original
STDR.
M.W-3 has stated in para-5 that he learnt that Mr. Ghosh has taken loan from Godda Branch against original
STDR. In cross-examination he has stated that in para-9 original certificate of STDR was earlier misplaced and he sent
original certificate to Godda Branch of apparently original certificate was not in custody of Mr. Ghosh. Loan was
adjusted. In para-12 this witness stated that Mr. Ghosh has submitted NSC and also handed over the cheque amounting
to Rs. 6520/-. M.W-1 also stated in para-7 that Mr. Ghosh had .given an application dated-19.05.1996to the Branch
Manager, Godda requesting him to sanction a demand loan of Rs. 40000/- against original STDR. After consideration of
due evidence it appears that Mr. Ghosh has taken loan against original STDR also but this original STDR was in custody
of the bank and earlier it was misplaced and on detection it was sent to Godda Branch. W.W-1 Mr. Ghosh has stated in
para-9 that when he was posted at Godda branch then he applied for loan against NSC for treatment of his wife. In para-
10 he has stated that at Godda branch, Branch Manager stated that it original STDR has been traced. He also stated that
NSC is of Jamui branch and when it will be verified then laon will be granted, so he advised to take loan against the
original STDR and to substitute NSC later on. Whatever it may be it was Mr. Ghosh who had obtained loan against
original STDR. It is completely wrong because he has encashed the duplicate STDR before maturity on 22.05.1996 at
Jamui branch. Thereafter he obtained loan of Rs. 40,000/- from Godda branch on 30.05.1996 against aforesaid original
STDR and defrauded the bank.
19.
As such whatever it may be, it was Mr. Ghosh who had defrauded the bank and the charge no.-2 is clearly
proved. Which clearly comes under the provision of 5(j) of the Bipartite Settlement dated-10.04.2002
But on consideration of the aforesaid facts and circumstances and material available on record, bank had not
sustained serious loss because loan was adjusted with interest but that negligence was likely to involve the bank in
serious loss.
The question for consideration is the punishment given to Mr. Ghosh. It appears that punishment inflicted, was
dismissal from bank service with three months pay in lieu of notice. Appellate authority did not find any reason to
interfare the decision of disciplinary authority but in the facts of the circumstances of the case punishment given to Mr.
Ghosh is very harsh.
Order of the disciplinary authority as well as appellate authority is hereby set-aside. Mr. Ghosh should be
reinstated in the bank service.
Now gross misconduct under provision of clause-5(j) is found proved against Mr. Ghosh so punishment given
to Mr. Ghosh, in the facts and circumstances may be “as his two increment stopped with cumulative effect.
This is my award accordingly.
Dictated & Corrected by me.

The schedule mentioned in that order is :
“Whether the action of the Management of State Bank of India, Tiruchirapalli in imposing the punishment of
discharge from service of Sri G. Keerthivasan, Special Assistant is legal and justified? To what relief the
concerned workman is entitled?”
2.
On receipt of the Industrial Dispute this Tribunal has numbered it as ID 89/2013 and issued notices to both
sides. Both sides have entered appearance through their counsel and filed claim and counter statement respectively. The
petitioner has filed a rejoinder in answer to the Counter Statement.
3.
The averments in the Claim Statement filed by the petitioner in brief are as below:
The petitioner was appointed as Clerk/Typist in Respondent Bank’s Tiruppur Branch in the year 1984. On
elevation as Senior Assistant he had been posted at Kumbakonam Branch in 2003. The petitioner was promoted as
Special Assistant and posted at Udayanatham Branch in Ariyalur District in 2007. While the petitioner was working at
Udayanatham Branch he was suspended from service w.e.f. 16.09.2008. Subsequently a Charge Memo has been issued
to the petitioner. It was alleged in the Charge Memo that the petitioner had debited the non-home account of one
Marudakasi maintained at Kumbakonam Branch while he was at Udayanatham Branch, he credited the proceeds to his
SB Account without any mandate from the account holder. The petitioner is said to have withdrawn the money
subsequently by means of withdrawal slips and embezzled the amount. The petitioner is also alleged to have debited
Branch Charges Account without any approval from the sanctioning authority. The further charge against the petitioner
is that he had borrowed Rs. 50,000/- from one Kumaran and a suit filed against him has been pending, that the petitioner
having indulged in outside borrowings, has tarnished the image of the Bank. The explanation obtained from the
petitioner on the charges was found unsatisfactory and an enquiry was ordered in the matter. The Enquiry Officer
held that Charges 1 and 2 are proved and the third Charge is partly proved. Based on the report of the Enquiry Officer
the Disciplinary Authority imposed the punishment of discharge from service with superannuation benefits on the
petitioner. Though the petitioner preferred an appeal before the Appellate Authority the punishment imposed on the
petitioner was confirmed in appeal. The petitioner has raised the dispute accordingly. There is no justification for the
report of the Enquiry Officer or the punishment imposed on the petitioner. The petitioner is entitled to be reinstated in
service. An award may be passed holding that the punishment imposed on the petitioner is illegal and unjustified and
also directing the Respondents to reinstate the petitioner in service with continuity of service, backwages and attendant
benefits.
4.
The Respondents have filed Counter Statement contending as below:
68
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JANUARY 2, 2016/PAUSA 12, 1937
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
Both the Respondents represent the SBI and as such a common Counter Statement is filed. The Respondents
will be collectively referred to as “Respondent”. After introduction of the Core Banking System transfers from any
account of a constituent in a branch can be made to the account of the same constituent or another constituent in another
branch of the same Bank. However, such transfers can be effected only based on letter of authorization in writing. A
branch in a station is a home branch and the branch of the same bank in another station is non-home branch. Even
transfers from home branch to non-home branch can be done based on written authority of the account holder. It is not
permissible for any staff who is entitled to claim amount from the charges account to prepare a voucher on his own and
credit in his Savings Bank Account. The Branch Manager is required to pass the voucher after satisfying himself that the
staff was entitled to reimbursement. The petitioner was posted as Senior Assistant in the Kumbakonam Main Branch
from 01.04.2002. Marudakasi, a constituent of the branch was having joint account with his wife in the branch. Even
when the petitioner was working in Kumbakonam Main Branch certain withdrawals and transfers were made from the
account of Marudakasi without due authorization, even before Core Banking System was introduced. The petitioner was
posted as Special Assistant at Udayanatham Branch on 23.08.2007. In June 2008, when the Regional Manager visited
Udayanatham Branch he observed the petitioner browsing through non-home account. The Regional Manager cautioned
the Branch Manager regarding the same. On 08.09.2008 the Branch manager came to know that the petitioner had made
payments against the charges account which were credited to his SB Account without vouchers being passed by the
Branch Manager. He also noticed that there were composite vouchers transferring money from the account of
Marudakasi to his account which were withdrawn by him. This was reported to the controlling authority and an
investigation was conducted. On investigation it was noticed that two transaction of withdrawals from the account of
Marudakasi to the account of petitioner before introduction of the Core Banking System and 10 transactions after
introduction of Core Banking System were carried out. A charge sheet was issued to the petitioner charging him with
misconduct of unauthorized debiting of Marudakasi’s SB Account and crediting his account and receiving payments
from the charges account without vouchers being passed by the Branch Manager. Apart from this, a civil suit was seen
filed by one Kumaran against the petitioner for recovery of Rs. 50,000/-. On conducting enquiry on the charges, the
Enquiry Officer gave report holding that Charges 1 and 2 were proved and Charge 3 was partly proved. A show cause
notice was issued to the petitioner and after considering his representation, punishment of discharge from service was
imposed on the petitioner. The petitioner was awarded the punishment with all superannuation benefits. He was eligible
to receive pension of not less than Rs. 18,500. The petitioner has raised the dispute two years after settling his terminal
benefits. The dispute should not be entertained on the ground of delay and inaction on the part of the petitioner. The
petitioner is not entitled to any relief.
5.
The petitioner has filed a rejoinder denying the allegations in the Counter Statement and reiterating his case in the
Claim Statement.
6.
The evidence in the case consists of oral evidence of WW1 and MW1 and documents marked as Ext. W1 to
Ext. W19 and Ext.M1 to Ext. M25
7.
The points for consideration are:
(i)
Whether the action of the Respondents in imposing the punishment of discharge from service on the petitioner
is legal and justified?
(ii)
What, if any is the relief to which the petitioenr is entitled?
The Points
8.
The petitioner who had joined State Bank of India, the Respondent Bank as a Clerk/Typist had been working as
Special Assistant in Udayanatham Branch of the Bank at the time when he was discharged from service with
superannuation benefits by way of punishment based on the domestic enquiry conducted against him.
9.
The petitioner had faced three charges in the enquiry proceedings. The first charge is to the effect that he had
debited non-home SB Account of one Marudakasi and credited the proceeds to his own account on 12 occasions. He is
said to have prepared composite vouchers, debited the SB Account of Marudakasi, credited the amount to his account
and withdrawn money subsequently. The next charge is that he debited Bank Charges Account without any approval
from the sanctioning authority. The details of four such transactions are mentioned in the charge. The third charge is that
the petitioner had indulged in outside borrowings and had tarnished the image of the Bank.
10.
Ext.M4 is the explanation given by the petitioner to Ext.M3 letter from the Bank asking for explanation regarding
the irregularities allegedly committed by him. Regarding the first charge of debiting the account of Marudakasi and
crediting it to his account he has stated that the account debited is a joint one standing in the name of Marudakasi and his
wife Mallika who are his family friends and also distant relatives. He has further stated that Mallika being a chronic
diabetic has become immobile and has advised him over phone to withdraw the amounts referred to in the letter and
handover the same to her. In order to help her he had debited the account with the amounts referred in the letter and had
credited the proceeds to his account. Then he had withdrawn the amounts from his accounts and had handed over the
same to her on the respective dates. However, he had failed to get any written authority from her. According to him there
was no malafides in the transactions. Regarding the debiting of branch charges account he has stated that it was the
practice of the branch that all the charge vouchers will be passed in the evening by the Branch Manager as he has to go
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % tuojh 2] 2016@ikS"k 12] 1937
69
for inspection or other outside work. According to him, the Branch Manager had omitted to pass the vouchers even
though the transactions were entered in the back-up register. Regarding the allegation of borrowal he has stated that he
had received only Rs. 25,000/- and he had settled the case filed by Kumaran. Ext.M5 is the explanation given by the
petitioner to the Charge Memo. This is practically the same as stated in Ext.M4.
11.
As could be seen it is not disputed by the petitioner that he has debited the account of Marudakasi as stated in the
initial portion of the first charge given in Ext.W6. However, he is disputing the case of the Management that this was
done without the mandate of the account holder. What is stated in the two explanations viz. Ext.M4 and Ext.M5
given by him is that the account holders are his family friends and distant relatives and it was as requested by Mallika,
W/o Marudakasi who is also a joint account holder that he debited the account.
12.
The Bank has produced the investigation report of the Branch Manager as Ext.M1. It is clear from the
investigation report that Mallika herself had told the Officer who had conducted the investigation that it was as
instructed by her that the amounts were debited by the petitioner. The Branch Manager has stated in the investigation
report that he had met Mallika at her residence on 03.10.2008 for interrogation and she had informed at that time that
while working at Kumbakonam Branch the petitioner used to extend help to her in the operation of the account. She has
also told the Investigation Officer that she used to phone up the petitioner for cash and the petitioner used to deliver cash
and obtain withdrawal slip from her. She had also informed the Investigation Officer that even after transfer of the
petitioner to Udayanatham branch she used to seek his help whenever she is in need of money. The investigation report
states that a signed deposition of Mallika was obtained and enclosed alongwith the report. Though the petitioner had
filed an application and on the basis of this application the Bank was asked to produce the signed deposition, it was not
produced. What is stated by the Bank is that the document is not available. The Bank has in fact produced only part of
the document as investigation report. The signed deposition was also a part of it, but it was not produced in spite of
direction. Even the report of Investigation Officer would show that the debiting of the account was done by the
petitioner not on his own without the knowledge of the customer but with full knowledge and only on their direction.
13.
It is clear from the enquiry proceedings that Mallika did not make any complaint against the petitioner though that
is the case attempted by the Bank. The Manager of the Udayanatham Branch had stated during his examination as PW1
in the enquiry proceedings that he did not receive any complaint regarding the incident. When MW1 who was Manager
of Udayanatham Branch was examined before this Tribunal he has stated that Marudakasi had given oral compliant to
the previous Manager and he was informed of the same by the previous Manager. He had no direct knowledge of
Marudakasi or his wife Mallika. However, it is clear from the enquiry proceedings that neither Marudakasi nor Mallika
had given any complaint alleging withdrawal from the account without their knowledge. So it is very much clear that
there was no complaint from the account holders that their account was unauthorizedly debited. In the enquiry
proceedings a notarized statement said to be that of Mallika was produced though she was not examined. In this she had
asserted what she has told the Investigation Officer. In the normal course, this statement without examination of the
maker need not be taken into account. However, when the other available evidence is taken into account it is very much
clear that Mallika herself had given the statement. So the second limb of the first charge that the debited amounts which
were credited to his own account were withdrawn by the petitioner and he had embezzled the amount is certainly not
correct. In fact in the enquiry report what had Enquiry Officer had stated is that he “strongly suspect that the
transactions have been done without the knowledge of Marudakasi” so he himself did not find that it was done without
the knowledge of the customer. He had only a suspicion. Yet the Enquiry Officer has held the entire charge as proved
which was not proper.
14.
The first part of the charge that the petitioner has prepared composite vouchers and debited the account and
credited to his account is established even by the admission of the petitioner. The only difference is that it was not
without mandate from the account holder. However, the petitioner is not expected to do such act even if with the
instruction of the account holder. He was acting against the procedure of the Bank. He is not expected to debit accounts
of customers on oral instructions from the customers. It can be done based on the withdrawal slips signed by the
customer only. So the first charge is proved to that extent.
15.
The second charge is that the petitioner has debited branch charges account without any approval from the
sanctioning authority. The details of the debits given are - cost of mobile phone Rs. 5,000/-, out of pocket expenses Rs.
500/- and Rs. 1,800/- and conveyance and newspaper voucher Rs. 2,610/-. All these amounts are said to be debited even
before these were passed by the Branch Manager.
16.
Ext.W19 was marked through MW1 when he was examined before this Tribunal. This is a letter from the
petitioner to MW1 seeking permission to purchase a mobile phone for office use. The Branch Manager had granted
permission for the purchase as seen from the endorsement in Ext.W19. MW1 has stated during his cross-examination
that the document contains his initial and he has permitted the petitioner to purchase a mobile phone. So it is clear that
there was permission for purchase but the voucher was not passed by the Branch Manager before the petitioner debited
the Branch Charge Account towards cost of the mobile phone. During enquiry proceedings, it was pointed out by the
Enquiry Officer on production of the voucher that the voucher was passed by the Manager as well. The Presenting
Officer has stated that though the voucher was passed for payment, it was not approved for payment by the
Authorized Officer. The charge is that there was no approval for payment which of course is not there. Certainly, it was
70

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
not within the limits of the petitioner to debit the amount before it was approved by the Branch Manager. However, it is
clear that he was entitled to the amount, the Manager having permitted him to purchase a mobile phone.
17.
Regarding other amounts debited under Charge No. 2, PW1 has stated that the vouchers were not passed by him
nor payment authorized by him. In fact the petitioner is not disputing this also. His case is that it is only an omission on
the part of the Branch Manager. There is no case for the Bank that the amounts debited were not due to the petitioner.
The only charge is that he debited the amount even before the Branch Manager approved them for payment. I have
pointed this out only to show that the petitioner has not taken anything which is not due to him. In any case the fact
remains that the petitioner has debited the account without any authority.
18.
The Third Charge against the petitioner is that he borrowed Rs. 50,000/- from outside and failed to repay the
amount and this has tarnished the image of the Bank. In his explanation the petitioner has not disputed the borrowal.
However, according to him he has borrowed only Rs. 25,000/- and this transaction was settled also. The Bank except
producing a letter from a lawyer of the creditor of the petitioner has not produced any evidence regarding this. Apart
from this is the fact that the borrowal made by the petitioner is his personal affair and so far as he has not exceeded the
limit and was not able to manage his financial affairs the Bank need not point its finger against him on such a charge at
all. There is no basis for the charge against the petitioner.
19.
There is no case for the Bank that there was any past misconduct on the part of the petitioner. So far as the first
charge is concerned the only fault committed by the petitioner is that he went out of his way to help his relatives using
his position in the Bank. He did not commit any embezzlement and he did not cause any loss to the Bank. Even so far as
the Second Charge is concerned there is no case for the Bank that any loss was caused to it. But he was acting against
the procedure.
20.
The counsel for the Respondent has referred to the decision of the Apex Court in DISCIPLINARY AUTHORITY-
CUM-REGIONAL MANAGER AND OTHERS VS. NIKUNJA BIHARI PATNAIK reported in 1996 9 SCC 69 where
it was held that no organization more particularly a Bank can function properly and effectively if its Officers and
employees do not observe the prescribed norms and discipline. The counsel has also referred to the decision of the
Apex Court in STATE BANK OF INDIA AND ANOTHER VS. BELA BAGCHI AND OTHERS reported in 2005 7
SCC 435 where it was held that it is no defence available to say that there was no loss or profit which resulted in the case
and the Officer acted without authority.
21.
No doubt, for the procedural lapse on his part the petitioner deserves due punishment. However, the punishment of
termination from service is too harsh a punishment when the nature of the misconduct is taken into account. So I am
inclined to reverse the punishment of discharge of the petitioner from service. It would be sufficient if some suitable
punishment other than discharge from service is imposed on him. The punishment of bringing down to lower stage in the
scale of pay by two stages would be sufficient punishment. The petitioner will have to forego his backwages to the tune
of 75% also. Accordingly an award is passed as follows:
The Respondent is directed to reinstate the petitioner in service within a month of publication of the award with
25% backwages also payable within the same period, continuity of service and other attendant benefits. The
petitioner is brought down to the lower stage in the scale of pay by two stages. In default of payment of
backwages it will carry interest @ 7.5% per annum.
