Central Government, vide letter No.L-11012/4/2015-IR(M) dated 30.06.2015, referred the following industrial
dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication:
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938

“Whether resignation of the workman Ms.Priyanka Guleria vide her letter dated 05.06.2014 is a forced
resignation? If yes, whether it can be construed as termination of the services of Ms. Priyanka Guleria by the
management of Delhi Airport Parking Service (DAPS)? If yes, what relief the workman concerned is entitled
to?”
2.
In the reference order, the appropriate Government commanded the parties to 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, Ms. Priyanka Guleria opted not to file her claim statement with the Tribunal.
3.
On receipt of the above reference, notice was sent to the workman herein 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 workman herein. Despite service of the notice, neither the claimant nor any authorized representative
appeared on behalf of the workman herein despite granting of opportunities. Thus, it is clear that the workman herein
is not interested in adjudication of the reference on merits.
4.
Since the workman herein has neither filed her statement of claim nor has she led any evidence so as to prove
her cause against the management, as such, this Tribunal is left with no choice, except to pass a ‘No Dispute/Claim’
award. Let this award be sent to the appropriate Government, as required under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947, for publication.

ORDER
The Government of India in the Ministry of Labour & Employment has referred the present dispute existing
between the employers in relation to the Management of M/s. Trinity Commercials Pvt. Ltd., and their workman Ram
Singh Badra in exercise of the powers conferred under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section 2(A) of Section 10
of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) vide their Letter No. L-29012/32/2013 – IR(M), dated 23.08.2013 to
this Tribunal for adjudication.
2.
That the 2nd Party-workman has sent his statement of claim by post on 22.10.2013. He has not filed any
documents to substantiate his case. Since he did not take any step except sending statement of claim by post the 2nd
Party-workman was noticed on 19.12.2014 through regd. post for his appearance, but he has not turned up. Again after
the new P.O. Joins a fresh notice was issued to the 2nd party-workman on 10.3.2016 for his appearance. Notice issued
to him seems to have been duly served. But, the 2nd Party-workman did not appear.
3.
On the other hand, the 1st Party-Management did not file its written statement, though the 2nd Party-workman
has served a copy of statement of claim on them through post. Also, notice was issued to the 1st Party-Management to
file its written statement on 10.3.2016 from this Tribunal, but, neither the 1st Party-Management appeared nor any step
taken by it.
4.
It appears from the above acts of the parties that either they have lost their interest in the case or they might
have resolved their disputes amicably out of the court. In the given circumstances, a no-dispute award is required to be
passed and accordingly a no-dispute award is passed in the case.

On 7.4.2016 both the parties were absent. Once again case was adjourned providing last opportunity to the
applicant to file statement of claim on 28.4.2016. After order learned representative of opposite party appeared who
was apprised of the next date fixed in the case. On 28.4.2016 both the parties were absent. Neither anyone appeared on
behalf of applicant nor statement of claim was filed. Case was fixed in the afternoon. In the afternoon session none
appeared on behalf of applicant. Learned representative of opposite party appeared and objected to number of
opportunities being extended to the applicant by tribunal on its own motion without anyone appearing from applicant
side and asking further time for filing statement of claim. In above circumstances, further opportunity to the applicant
for filing statement of claim was closed and case was reserved for award.
6.

statement of claim within 15 days from the date of receipt of reference. Applicant has neither filed statement of claim
on the direction of Ministry nor on notice and knowledge of the proceeding pending before the tribunal. It appears that
applicant is not interested and willing in submitting the claim for adjudication. In the circumstances and in the absence
of material evidence brought on record, tribunal is unable to record the finding on the issues referred to it on merit.
Accordingly, “No Claim Award” is passed in this matter. The reference under adjudication is answered accordingly.

claim on 13-5-2014. Case of Ist party workman is that he was appointed as Sales Manager at Ratlam. His duty

to harassment at work place is produced at Annexure A-3. Said policy is not followed by 2nd party. Workman had
submitted his grievances to the authorities. However any action was not taken by the management.
3. Workman submits that 2nd party is proposing to close all 148 offices in MP. Any arrangement for welfare
of the employees is not paid. 2nd party has started retrenchment of employees high handedly. Workman was also
pressurized for submitting resignation from service. Workman did not agree to it. The mother of workman is
about 74 years suffering from heart disease. Branch Manager Shri Rahul Pathak on 3-9-2010 called all the
employees and told that the branch offices were to be closed at other places. On 14-9-2010, workman was called
at Ratlam office. Shri Sudhir Sharma and Bakshi held meeting and pursued employees for submitting
resignation. They were confined in the cabin on 18-9-2010, workman received message on his mobile calling
him at Indore office. Workman was pursued for submitting resignation. Workman was also given understanding
ithat if he would not give resignation, he would be transferred to far away place and they will see how he will
manage his duties. Workman was threatened if he doesnot quit his service, he would be transferred to Bulan city.
Workman was transferred to Bulan city 800 kms. from Ratlam. Workman is transferred with malafide object
violating service conditions. Letter was given by workman on 25-9-2010 objecting his transfer to Bulan city. On
6-1-2011, workman was terminated illegally. He was not served with any chargesheet or notice. On such
contentions, workman prays for reinstatement with backwages.
4. 2nd party failed to file Written Statement. 2nd party was proceeded exparte on 16-1-2015.
5. Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as
under. My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the management of Chairman-
cum-Managing Director, Max New York Life Insurance
Company Ltd., Okhla, New Delhi in terminating Shri
Pradeep Jain without following the provision of ID Act,
1947 w.e.f. 6-1-2011 is legal and justified?
In Negative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
As per final order
REASONS
6. Workman in his statement of claim is challenging termination order for violation of provisions of ID Act.
Management not filed Written Statement and not participated in reference proceeding.
7. Workman filed affidavit of his evidence supporting his contentions in statement of claim. From evidence of
workman, documents Exhibit W-1 to 18 are admitted in evidence. 2nd party remained absent. Evidence of
workman remained unchallenged.
8. Documents Exhibit W-1 is order of appointment of workman. Exhibit W-2 is work place harassment
policy provides for resolution of grievance/ committee to decide venue and settings etc. Exhibit W-3 is record
submitted by workman to police station, Ratlam about his harassment. Exhibit W-4 is order of transfer of
workman. Exhibit W-5 is letter forwarding complaint by workman. Exhibit W-6 is letter dated 1-11-2010
pertaining to non-payment of salary of workman. Exhibit W-7 is notice issued by workman. W-8 is reply to the
notice. W-9 is letter of appreciation given to workman. Exhibit W-10/1 to 10/5 are recruitment achiever awarded

2686
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
9. As evidence of workman remained unchallenged. The contention that his duty were as workman. His
statement of claim and evidence remained undisputed. In evidence of workman, his services were terminated
violated provisions of ID Act remained unchallenged. Therefore it is established that services of workman are
terminated in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No. 1 in
Negative.
10. Point No.2- workman is terminated without notice in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Management has
not participated in reference proceeding. No evidence is adduced by 2nd party. However the amount claimed by
workman in his affidavit of evidence Rs. 4 Lakh for illegal termination with interest 12 % cannot be allowed. As
no evidence is adduced by workman is in gainful employment after termination of his service, reinstatement of
workman with backwages would be appropriate. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2.
11. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1) The action of the management of Chairman cum Managing Director, Max New York Life Insurance
Company Ltd., Okhla, New Delhi in terminating Shri Pradeep Jain without following the provision of ID
Act, 1947 w.e.f. 6-1-2011 is not proper and legal.
(2) 2nd party is directed to reinstate workman with continuity of service with full backwages.
Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award.
In case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

conditions of the staff is governed by the Service Rules of the Tamil Nadu Minerals Ltd. The service conditions of the
workers is governed by the Standing Orders for Workmen in Mines and Quarries of Tamil Nadu Minerals Ltd. the
members of the Petitioner Union fall under the category of the staff and are governed by the Service rules of the Tamil
Nadu Minerals Ltd. As per the Service Rules of Tamil Nadu Minerals Ltd. the members of the Petitioner Union are
eligible for Earned Leave @ 2.5 days for each completed calendar month of service. Encashment can be availed upto
240 days at the end of the service. However, contrary to the Service Rules they are given Earned Leave @ 1 day per
each completed calendar month of service. At the end of the service only 30 days un-availed leave can be encashed.
Though a representation was given to the Respondent for the grant of eligible leave there was no reply from the
Respondent. The dispute is raised accordingly. An award may be passed directing the Respondent to give Earned Leave
to the members of the Petitioner Union @ 2.5 days for each completed calendar month of service as per Service Rules
of the Tamil Nadu Minerals Ltd.
4.
The Respondent has filed Counter Statement contending as below:
The employees of the Respondent are broadly classified into two categories. Ministerial or Administrative
Officers and Staff who are working in the Head Office at Chennai and also Technical Officers and Staff working in
various mines and quarries are governed by the Service Rules of TAMIN. The workmen employed in the various mines
and quarries come under the second category and are governed by the Certified Industrial Standing Orders alongwith
the provisions of the Mines Act. The members of the Petitioner Union fall under the first category and are governed by
Service Rules. The demand of the Petitioner Union for grant of Earned Leave @ 2.5 days for each completed calendar
month of service was not in accordance with the Service Rules or the Certified Standing Orders. The petitioner is not
entitled to any relief.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
5.
The evidence in the case consists of documents marked as Ext.W1 to Ext.W8 and Ext.M1 and Ext.M2. Oral
evidence was not adduced by either side.
6.
Point for consideration is:
Whether the members of the Petitioner Union are entitled to Earned Leave as claimed by the petitioner?
7.
It is the case of the petitioner that all its members come under the category of staff working in Mines and
Quarries. Mines and Quarries are governed by the Service Rules of Tamil Nadu Minerals Ltd. It is further stated that
the workmen category in the Mines and Quarries are governed by the standing Orders. The grievance of the petitioner
is that as per the Service rules of Tamil Nadu Minerals Ltd. the members of the Petitioner Union are eligible for Earned
Leave @ 2.5 days for each completed calendar month of service but they are given Earned Leave only @ 1 day for
each completed calendar month of service. According to them they are entitled to Earned Leave at the rate claimed by
them.
8.
A look at the Service Rules of the Respondent would show that the staff category is entitled to Earned Leave
as claimed by the petitioner. Clause-10.4.2 (a)(i) states that Earned Leave shall be credited to the leave account of a
Permanent Officer/Staff @ 2.5 days for each completed calendar month of service which he is likely to render in a half
year of the calendar year in which he is appointed.
9.
However, for the reason that the petitioner is claiming relief based on the Service Rules of Tamil Nadu
Minerals Ltd., it is not entitled to any relief. The staff category coming under the Service Rules are not workmen as
defined in the Industrial Disputes Act. The definition given to the word “Staff” in Service Rules alongwith the
definition given to the workmen in the Standing Orders will make this clear. As per the Standing Orders, workmen are
persons employed in the establishment of the Company as defined under Section-2h of the Mines Act except any such
persons employed in a supervisory capacity drawing wages exceeding Rs. 1,600/- per mensem or exercises either by
nature of the duties attached to the office or by reason of the powers vested in him functions, mainly of a managerial
nature. So it is clear that only those employees governed by the Standing Orders are workmen and would be governed
by the Industrial Disputes Act. On the other hand the staff being governed by the Service Rules, they cannot approach
this Tribunal for relief. This Tribunal has no jurisdiction to decide on the grievance in respect of those coming under
the staff category or any dispute raised on behalf of staff category. The claim of the petitioner is to be rejected for this
reason.
10.
In the result the reference is answered against the petitioner. An award is passed accordingly.

AWARD
Dated: 31st May, 2016
By Order No.L-30012/27/2013-IR(M) dated 01.10.2013 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:
“(1) Whether the action of the management of M/s. S.B. Engineering, a contractor
of
IOCL
(Marketing
Division), Haldia Oil Installation, is legal and justified in terminating the services of Shri Nandlal Manna,
Shri Arun Kumar Pal and Shri Tapan Kumar Midya vide letter dated 2.7.2012? What relief the workmen are
entitled to?”
2.
Bereft of all unnecessary details, the case of the workmen is as follows:
More than 20 years ago the concerned workmen were appointed by M/s. K.B. Das & Sons, a contractor under
the principal employer, Indian Oil Corporation. Since appointment they used to work at Haldia Oil Jetty under Haldia
Dock Complex. The principal employer used to pay all monetary benefits and other facilities to them in terms of
2690
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
settlement of charter of demands raised by the union from time to time. Subsequently, in 2009 after expiry of
agreement with M/s. K.B. Das & Sons, the Administrative Division of the Indian Oil Corporation (Marketing Division)
engaged M/s. S.B. Engineering as contractor in place of M/s. K.B. Das & Sons and accordingly the concerned
workmen were engaged by M/s. S.B. Engineering as workers for doing the same job. As per the terms of Tripartite
Settlement with the principal employer and the union the said contractor used to provide all benefits and facilities to the
workmen. The contractor also used to issue gate pass and Photo Code Number in favour of the workmen. Such gate
passes were lastly renewed on 17th March, 2012 and the same were required to be renewed by 16th June, 2012. It is also
alleged that on 26th May, 2012 some members of INTTUC snatched the gate pass of shri Arun Pal and the same was
not returned.
It is the contention of the workmen that M/s. S.B. Engineering did not renew the gate passes of the concerned
workmen and by a letter dated 01.07.2012 M/s. S.B. Engineering informed the workmen that as per the direction of the
leaders of the union (Thika Sramik Mazdoor Union, affiliated by INTTUC) it had stopped issuing gate pass (Ext. W-
06) meaning thereby that the said workmen were not permitted to join their duties on and from 02.07.2012. Several
requests of the said workmen before the management yielded no result. Accordingly the industrial dispute was raised
by the workmen. Hence the present reference.
3.
The management inspite of receiving notice did not turn up to contest the case. As a result the case was heard
exparte.
4.
In course of hearing argument, one of the concerned workmen namely Shri Arun Kumr Pal filed a petition
informing that S/Shri Nandalal Manna and Tapan Kumar Midya have been given employment by the
Company.
5.
In this reference case the concerned workmen in support of their case have examined one witness who is one of
those workmen. They have also proved some documents which are marked Exhibits W-01 to W-19.
6.
It is the contention of the workmen that they were appointed by M/s. K.B. Das & Sons about 20 years ago and
thereafter they worked under M/s. S.B. Engineering when Indian Oil Corporation (Marketing Division)
engaged M/s. S.B. Engineering as contractor. Such contentions have been corroborated by the documents filed
on behalf of the workmen.
7.
The document marked Ext. W-07 also goes to show that Arun Kumar Pal lodged complaint with the Haldia
Police Station informing that his Gate Pass was forcibly taken away by Shyamal Adak & others.
8.
Ext. W-06 goes to show that due to the pressure created by the leaders of Thika Shramik Mazdoor Union, M/s.
S.B. Engineering refused to issue Gate Pass in favour of the concerned workmen and thereby
terminated/retrenched the workmen by preventing them to join their duties.
9.
It is contended that at the time of retrenchment the provision of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 were not
complied with.
10. Here in this case the management has not opposed the above contention. There is nothing to disbelieve the said
contention of the workmen.
11. Unchallenged testimony of the witness (one of the concerned workmen) namely, Arun Kumar Pal also
corroborates the entire contention of the workmen as disclosed in the statement of claim and there is nothing to
disbelieve the said evidence of the witness.

12.
Considering the facts and circumstances and unchallenged testimony of the witness and the documents of the
workmen, it appears that the management retrenched the workmen without complying with the provisions of
the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
13.
In view of the discussion made above, the order of reference is answered in the negative. The workmen
should be reinstated in service with full back wages.
14.
Award is passed accordingly.

1.
By order No. L-40011/21/2009-IR(DU) dated 30.10.2009 the Central Government in the Ministry of
Labour, New Delhi in exercise of powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of
Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) referred this industrial dispute between Sri Swadesh
Kumar Srivastava S/o Late Sri K.C. Srivastava and the M/s Reliance Communications Limited, Lucknow/Navi
Mumbai for adjudication.
2.
The reference under adjudication is:
“WHETHER SHRI SWADESH KUMAR SRIVASTAVA IS A WORKMAN OF THE
MANAGEMENT OF M/S RELIANCE COMMUNICATION LTD.? IF YES, WHETHER THE
ACTION OF THE MANAGEMENT IN NOT ALLOWING HIM TO JOIN HIS DUTIES W.E.F.
12.07.2008 IS LEGAL AND JUSTIFIED? IF NOT, WHAT RELIEF THE WORKMAN IS
ENTITLED TO?”
3.
As per the claim statement w3, the workman has stated in brief that he was appointed in the opposite party
company on the post of L3-LEVEL-PCO vide letter dated 07.10.2004, his services were confirmed on 19.04.2005,
his work, conduct and performance always remained satisfactory and in the year 2005-06 he was also appreciated
for better performance, opposite party company revised his compensation from 229999.00 to Rs.256616.00 p.a.,
one time reward of Rs.16559.99 was also given to him.
4.
The workman has further stated that in the month of May 2006 he was asked by his officers to do
installation of PCO and RCP on fake identification and fake address proof, but since it was against license
agreement and TRAI guidelines and was against National Security he politely refused, which annoyed his
superiors and they threatened him, he was harassed and was transferred to smaller place rationalization of pay was
also not done, his promotion was not considered, again in Feb.2007 he was transferred to another smaller place, his
2694
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
superiors directed him in May 2007 to submit resignation, in Dec.2007 he was transferred to Barabanki, his seniors
did not behave properly.
5.
It has also been stated in the claim statement that from 1.4.2008 to 15.4.2008, workman remained on sick
leave which was duly approved in the system by concerned officials. Besides attendance for the date 16.4.2008 and
leave for the period 17.4.2008 to 15.5.2008 was also approved and updated in the system. Even then part salary for
the month of April 2008 was not paid to me. Apart from the above, salary from the month of May 2008 was also
not paid without any information or notice giving reasons for the same. The continuing harassment,
reimbursement/payments for several tours for the year 2007, with the company’s work, which were duly approved
in the system by concerned authorities, were first of all rejected and were, paid subsequently in the month of
Feb.2008 by delaying it for several months. These payments were delayed deliberately. The workman suffered due
to company’s continuous harassment by way of delayed payment of genuine claims, frequent transfers particularly
to less important posts and places and non- payment of salary in time. Vide letter dated 7.6.2008 the company
informed that workman had not been attending the office since last 5-6 months. The contents of company’s letter
were not true and it was duly replied vide letter dated 21st June 2008 informing the company all details of
workman’s presence and duly approved leave. The workman also joined the duties on 21st June 2008. The
workman marked attendance in the system as per rules for June 2008 which was rejected by concerned authority in
the system.
6.
The workman further stated that he submitted representation dated 3.7.2008 and reminders dated
11.7.2008 & 6.8.2008 which all remained unreplied by the company. The letter dated 6.8.2008 addressed to
company’s Mr. Jeeraj Khandelwal, Sales Head (PCO) & sent by speed post Receipt No. spEU949302195 IN dated
7.8.2008 was returned undelivered with the reason written on the closed envelope by postal authorities “refused to
receive, hence returned”. This shows that company’s concerned authorities are adamant to harass the workman and
are not listening to workman’s genuine grievances. The system has been locked by the company and he was not
being allowed to mark attendance and workman also not being assigned any work. The workman not being paid
salary and not allowed to mark attendance, and not assigned any work and is being continuously put to harassment
without any reason or notice and only because workman did not agree to carry out the work in illegal manner as
asked for by senior officers of the company. On not solving the grievances by the company despite repeated
requests, workman served a legal notice upon the company on 14.10.2008 vide which the company was given 15
days time to solve the grievances. Though grievances remained unsolved except that workman got a telephonic
message from the bank that Rs.98311.00 has been credited in the bank account on 10.11.2008 being salary. Since
workman got no information from the company in this respect and he was unable to know the exact period upto
which salary has been paid though part payment of salary is still pending. It is also established that company has
not paid him salary in time deliberately causing harassment.
7.
It has further been stated in claim statement that the applicant did not receive any reply of the legal notice
then on 14.11.2008 he lodged a complaint before Dy. Labour Commissioner, UP Govt. Lucknow who also advised
him to contact RLC( C ) Lucknow thereafter on 2.3.2009 he lodge complaint before the RLC (C ) Lucknow. It has
also been asserted that during the pendency of the matter before UP Govt. the opposite party informed vide a letter
dated 14.11.2008/29.11.2008 that the applicant had tendered resignation and he had also accepted the token
amount of Rs.98311/- being full and final payment but in fact the workman had never submitted resignation, he
refuted the contents of the letter and requested to provide alleged resignation but they did not supply it before the
RLC ( C ) Lucknow till 31.08.2009. Relief sought and documents sought before the RLC ( C ) has also been
mentioned in the claim statement.
8.
The workman has further asserted that the documents requested were never supplied to him, although he
had written letter to the Chairman & Managing Director of the company, thereafter alleged resignation letter was
sent to him by the Lucknow office of the opposite party. Alleged resignation letter and signature there upon have
been denied by the applicant. With the above pleadings the workman has requested for payment of up to date
salary along with increments and permission to work properly according to his seniority and past performance and
rationalization of pay w.e.f. 1.4.2006. Along with claim statement several documents have also been filed by the
workman.
9.
The opposite party has filed written statement M7, wherein main allegation of the claim statement has
been denied. The opposite party has asserted that the applicant is not covered under the definition of the
“workman” as provided in the I.D. Act., his post was purely supervisory administrative and managerial, many
employees were working under him, he has drawn more than 1600/- per month as wages. It has further been stated
in M7 that it is not case of termination of services but a case where the applicant has himself willfully resigned
from his services at his own free will.

10.
The opposite party has further stated that it is a Public Limited Company incorporated under the
Companies Act, 1956 having its registered office at Navi Mumbai, the workman was directly under administrative
control of registered office, his service record was maintained there and his wages were paid from there, therefore
jurisdiction for any dispute or complaint lies at Navi Mumbai, and not at Lucknow, the RLC ( C ) Lucknow did not
have any jurisdiction to entertain the application moved before him. CGIT-cum-Labour Court, Navi Mumbai has
jurisdiction to hear the matter. After resignation of the workman, which was accepted by the management and all
his legal dues amounting to Rs. 98311/- have been released as full and final payment and the same has been
accepted by the workman without objection or protest, now the workman has no right to prefer any litigation
before any court, there does not exist any relation between the management and the complainant since 12.07.2008.
11.
The opposite party has stressed that it has got very high reputation in India as well as in abroad and the
company does not indulge in any anti national activity on the basis of fake address etc.
12.
The allegations of claim statement are also biased, false, baseless and based on concocted story of the
complainant as such denied in toto. Transfer of the complainant was routine matter and done purely on exigency of
work and to provide opportunity to the complainant to improve his performance and conduct but he failed to
improve his work conduct and performance, he remained absent for several months without any leave application
and information and was on the verge of termination but before the same could be implemented the complainant
tendered his resignation by registered post dated 12.07.2008. The opposite party further stated that claim statement
is based on wrong facts and concocted story, as such denied in toto, the work and performance of the complainant
was not satisfactory due to this reason only no rationalization of pay and promotion was granted to any employee
of the company. The claim statement is also based on wrong facts, concocted story and misconceived as such
denied. No officer of the company never asked the complainant to resign from the services, in fact the officer of the
company asked the complainant to improve his work, conduct and performance, any question for asking
resignation from the complainant does not arise. The complainant was absent from his duties without any leave
application/information or sanctioned leave for several months and no leave was due in the account of the
complainant. All legal dues of the complainant have been paid by the company after acceptance of resignation by
the competent authority of the Head Office.
13.
The opposite party further stated that complainant never turned up to join his duties from the month of
Jan./Feb. 2008 up to 12.07.2008, hence the question of not allowing the duties to the complainant does not arise.
No wages/salary of the complainant was due because the complainant was absent from his duties without any
information or sanction of leave since last several months as such neither he earned any salary/wages nor any thing
was due to him on salary account, dues were not pending with the opposite party and after submitting resignation
by the complainant, management released all his legal dues and credited in his account. There is no relevancy or
the purpose of this dispute and the opposite party has no knowledge about the complaints of the complainant.
14.
The opposite party further stated that it has got no knowledge about the complaints of the complainant
with Labour Department (State as well as Central). The complainant himself admitted that he was working as
“Zonal Lead.”
15.
The management has asserted that the RLC ( C ) Lucknow had never instructed it to file any document in
the proceeding before him, complainant’s letter dated 16.09.2009 was properly replied by the opposite party. It is
further stated in the written statement that the allegations leveled in the claim statement are false and misconceived,
the management has no role in manufacturing resignation of the applicant, he himself had sent his resignation to
the company by registered post. With the above pleadings the management has requested to declare the reference
order as bad in law, in fact no dispute arose on 12.07.2008, the reference is without jurisdiction, no relation
between the management and the workman was in existence, all the dues after resignation of the applicant have
been credited to his account which he had accepted without any protest now he has no right to agitate in this
regard.
16.
With strong denial of the contrary averments mentioned in the written statement, reiterating pleas taken in
the claim statement, rejoinder W-8 has been filed by the workman denying the theory of resignation etc. and to
adjudicate in his favour the relief sought by him.
17.
As per list M-19 & M-20 several documents have been filed by the management.
18.
As per list W-29 several documents have been filed by the workman. The management has filed certain
documents as per list M-33. Again several documents have been annexed with affidavit of the workman W-34.
19.
In evidence the applicant has filed his affidavit, he has been thoroughly cross examined on behalf of the
management, the management has filed affidavit of Sri V.K. Singh M-36 and he has also been thoroughly
examined on behalf of the workman. Forensic report W-42 along with affidavit W-43 has been filed in the court on
behalf of the workman. Hand Writing Expert Sri Anurag Srivastava has been cross examined on behalf of the
management.

20.
Earlier the objection M-12 dated 09.08.2010 by the opposite party and its reply W-13 dated 3.09.2010,
another application M-21 dated 7.12.2011 and clarifications W-23 dated 22.2.2012 and some other applications
and objections were also filed in the court.
21.
The parties availed opportunity to submit oral arguments.
22.
Heard learned authorized representatives of the parties at length and perused record available on file in light
thereto.
23.
The workman has come up with a case that he was appointed with opposite parties vide letter dated
07.10.2004 on the post of L3 – Level - PCO and was confirmed w.e.f. 19.04.2005 vide letter dated 19.04.2005. It has
been alleged by the workman that due to his rigid stand to do his duties in legal way the opposite party got annoyed
with him and did not allow him to join the services w.e.f. 12.07.2008 and when he pursued the matter with the
Company, he was informed that he himself has resigned from his service. The workman has submitted that the so
called resignation letter is forged and he never tendered any resignation letter to the Company and accordingly he
should be allowed to join the services with back wages and seniority/continuity etc.
24.
Per contra the case of the management is that the applicant does not fall in the definition of ‘workman’ as
provided in the Section 2 ‘s’ of the Act and that when the applicant himself has resigned from services and all
consequential dues have been credited to his account then there arise no question of taking him back in the service.
The applicant in reply to the preliminary objection has submitted that the nature of job performed by him was
not supervisorial in nature and accordingly, he very well comes within the definition of ‘workman’ provided in the Act.
25.
Having regard to the rival stand taken by the contesting parties and schedule of reference referred to this
Tribunal it comes out that the issue involved in present industrial dispute is two pointed. Firstly, as to whether the
applicant falls within the definition of ‘workman’ as provided in Section 2 ‘s’ of the Act; and secondly, as to whether
the applicant resigned the services through the alleged resignation letter?
26.
Now coming to first issued involved, the management has taken preliminary objection to the effect that the
applicant does not fall within the definition of ‘workman’ under Section 2 ‘s’, which is vehemently denied by the
applicant in his rejoinder. Thus, in view of specific denial by the applicant, the burden of proof shifts on the
management to come with the cogent evidence to prove the plea taken by it. The definition of ‘workman’ as provided
in the Section 2 ‘s’ of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 reads as under:
2. “(s)
“workman” means any person (including an apprentice) employed in any industry to do
any manual, unskilled, skilled, technical, operational, clerical or supervisory work for hire or
reward, whether the terms of employment be express or implied, and for the purposes of any
proceeding under this Act in relation to an industrial dispute, includes any such person who has
been dismissed, discharged or retrenched in connection with, or as a consequence of, that dispute,
or whose dismissal, discharge or retrenchment has led to that dispute, but does not include any
such person-
(i)
………….
(ii)
………….
(iii)
…………
(iv)
Who, being employed in a supervisory capacity, draws wages exceeding [ten thousand
rupees] per mensem or exercises, either by the nature of the duties attached to the office or
by reason of the powers vested in him, functions mainly of a managerial nature.”
A bare perusal of the above statutory provision it comes out that a person employed in supervisory or
managerial capacity shall be excluded from the definition of ‘workman’. Hence, it is nature of duties which ascertains
that a person is workman or not.
The management has raised objection that the post of the applicant was purely supervisory administrative and
managerial and so many employees were working under him On the contrary the applicant has pleaded quite
specifically that he used to install PCO and Rural Community Phone and the same was not managerial in nature. Apart
from taken preliminary objections the management has not filed any cogent documentary evidence to corroborate its
objection that the nature of duties assigned to the applicant were actually managerial or supervisory in nature which
kept him out of the purview of the definition of ‘workman’ as quoted hereinabove. Thus, there is no iota of evidence
on record to underline the objection taken by the management that the applicant is not a ‘workman’ as provided in the
definition of workman under Section 2’s’ of the Act.
27.
As regard genuineness of the alleged resignation letter, paper No. 3/39, filed by the workman and paper No.
33/1, filed by the management, the workman has called a Hand Writing Expert to examine the signatures put on the
alleged resignation letter, paper No. 33/1, who submitted his detailed report after thorough examination of the disputed
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2697
and admitted signatures, paper No. W-42; wherein he opined that the alleged signatures on the resignation letter, paper
No. 33/1 is not that of workman, Swadesh Kumar Srivastava. The authorized representative of the management cross-
examined the Hand Writing Expert, Sri Anurag Srivastava over his report. In cross-examination the Hand Writing
Expert confirmed his report. The management did not prefer to produce its Hand Writing Expert in rebuttal, resultantly
the report of the Hand Writing Expert, Sri Anurag Srivastava that the signatures appear on the alleged resignation is not
that of workman becomes unrebutted and acceptable.
28.
When it has been established that the alleged resignation letter, paper No. 33/1 has not been signed by the
workman, then the pleading taken by the management that the workman himself resigned stands unproved. Therefore,
in view of the facts and circumstances of the case and discussions made hereinabove, I am of the considered opinion
that the applicant is a ‘workman’ of the M/s Reliance Communication Ltd.; and the action of management in not
allowing him to join his duties w.e.f. 12.07.2008 is illegal and unjustified; and accordingly, I come to the conclusion
that the workman be allowed to join his duties and be paid salary for intervening period with consequential benefits i.e.
continuity in services and seniority etc., within 08 weeks of publication of the award, failing which; the back wages
shall carry simple interest @ 6% per annum.
29. Award as above.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
Question for determination is:-
“ Whether the action of the management of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd in terminating the services of Sri
Krishna Kumar Singh, a Lineman (Peon) under Group ‘D’, Telephone Exchange, Dulhin Bazar and not
regularizing his services while regularizing the services of other Junior Co- Workmen, is legal and justified?
If not, what relief (S) the workman is entitled to?”
2.
This case has been filed before the Cent. Govt. Indus. tribunal-cum-Labour Court No.-2, Dhanbad and Cent.
Govt. Industrial -cum-Labour Court No.-2, Dhanbad has sent the record of I.D Case No.- 02 of 2011 through its letter
No.- LCT 1/2014/ dated-18th November, 2004 to State Industrial Tribunal, Patna for adjudication.
3.
The statement of claim of the workman is that he had worked with the management Bharat Sanchar Nigam
Limited at their telephone exchange, Dulhin Bazar, Patna from 01.01.1992 to 31.12.2008.
The management formulated schemes on different occasions for regularizing of the services of workman as
full time class IV under group-D. Workman had represented to the management for his regularisation but his case was
not considered rather he was terminated from the services of the B.S.N.L w.e.f. 01.01.2009. Then he raised Industrial
Dispute before conciliation officer but dispute could not resolved.
The case of workman is that he was orally appointed to discharge the duties of a lineman, peon under group
‘D’ at Telephone Exchange Dulhin Bazar, Main Office under SDO, Danapur Rural. He worked from 01.01.1992 and
used to discharge the following duties of --- (a) Repair of Telephone Line, (b) Cable repair, (c) Charging of battery in
Telephone Exchange, (d) Bringing diesel oil from Petrol Pump through thela on the basis of coupon supplied by the
incharge of exchange and other sundry jobs of a class IV employee. He used to discharge the duties for eight hours
daily and even for more time as per the instruction of his superiors. He was paid wages @ Rs. 2000/- Per months from
01.01.1992 to 31st December, 2000 and thereafter wages was reduced. He was paid wages @ 1000/- from 01.01.2001
to 31.12.2005 and @ Rs. 500/- P.M from Ist January, 2006 to 31.12.2008. Payment was made through ACG 17 Bill.
After opening of sub divisional office at Bikram, the control of Dulhin Bazar Telephone Exchange was shifted from
Danapur Rural to Bikram.
Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. formulated schemes for regularization of the services of daily rated/temporary
workers on different occasions and the workers were required to submit their application. This workmen submitted his
application for regularization / permanent absorption in the services of the corporation. His name was forwarded to
higher authorities by the SDO, Telephone, Danapur along with other applications. The workman worked for over 10
years continuously. The case of workman was not considered for regularization. The case of following workman who
were either junior or contemporary to the workman were considered for regularization. Names of which has been
mentioned.
Workman uninterruptedly works from 01.01.1992 to 31.12.2008. When he went to perform his duties on
01.01.2009 he was stopped and his service stood terminated. The workman represented to the management from
working for his reinstatement but no positive step was taken by the management. Other ground has been mentioned.
Relief has been claimed mainly for reinstatement with back wages and other relief.
4.
Written statement has been filed on behalf of the management stating therein that case of the workman does
not come under the purview of section-25 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. Conciliation proceeding was conducted
and the case was discussed. Management denied that petitioner was never appointed. The management of Bharat
Sanchar Nigam Ltd, Patna verified the record of Dulhin Bazar Exchange as well as record of administration section of
Principal General Manager Office, Patna and found that so called workman was never engaged by any office of BSNL,
Patna or erstwhile Department of Telecom. Statement made by applicant of oral appointment in the year 1992 is totally
false.
5.
Rejoinder to the written statement of the management has been filed by the workman stating therein that
workman has worked at Telephone Exchange, Dulhin Bazar, Patna from 01.01.1992 to 31.12.2008. He was terminated
from the service w.e.f. 2009. Workman worked with the management for 17 years and has become over aged while
working with the management. Management regularized the services of junior workmen as a class IV employee under
group ‘D’ and discriminated with the workman while not considering his regularization although workman fulfilled all
the criteria and was eligible for regularization.
6.
It appears that single witness was examined on behalf of the workman who is W.W-1 Krishna Kumar Singh
himself. This witness has stated that he was working in telephone exchange Dulhin Bazar, Patna as temporary mazdoor
from 1992 to December 2008. He was installing connection and removing the fault. He also used to charge bettary
from generator. He has done duty from 9.00P.M to 5.00P.M. Thereafter he was paid only Rs. 500/- P.M. When he was
removed from service then he was getting Rs. 500/- P.M. He has proved Ext.-W series in support of his service. This
witness further stated that in his duties anti-social element used to disturb and for this, he informed this matter to his
officer and officers sent his complain to Dulhin Bazar, police station, this documents marked as Ext.-W/1. He has also
Extd- W/2 in proof of running generator. Prior his removal no notice, nor compensation was paid. Service of other
person working with him were regularized. His claim is correct.

7.
Though management has appeared and filed only written statement. But the management did not contest the
case and did not produce any witness and even management did not cross-examine the witness of the workman.
8.
Ext.-W is the certificate granted by T.T.A Bikram, SDE(G) Bikram, BSNL, Patna and also signed by RM
Telephone Exchange Dulhin Bazar this certificate is dated- 30.06.2009 stating therein that Krishna Kumar Singh is
very poor labourer. His date of birth is 20.12.1971. He is working regularly on daily wages in telephone exchange
Dulhin Bazar from Ist Jan. 1992 to 30th June 2009. His work is to connect cable and to remove defect of line, to check
the line and to charge bettary. Since at Dulhin Bazar telephone exchange, there was no work of cable joining etc, so
work is not taken from him. Krishna Kumar Singh is a good person and experienced labourer. Ext.-W/1 to Ext.-W/1-16
are different certificate. Ext.-W1-1 is about working of Krishna Kumar Singh from 01.01.1992 to 30.06.2009. Ext.-
W/1-2, W/1-3 of the certificate of work record of Krishna Kumar Singh. Ext.- W/1-4 demonstrate that from January,
1992 to December 1993 Krishna Kumar Singh is worked for 708 days and from January 1994 to December 1995 he
worked for 728 days. Ext.-W/1-5 demonstrate that he worked from January 1996 to December 1997 for 709 days and
similarly certificate has been demonstrated for the working of Krishna Kumar Singh till Decemebr 2008. All the
certificates were granted by the departmental authority. Ext.- W/1 is the letter sent to senior S.P, Patna by SDE ( group)
BSNL Bikram stated therein that Umesh Prasad and Krishna Kumar Singh are honest workman and they have been
falsely indicated there are working since 5-10 years in Dulhin Bazar Telephone Exchange. Ext.-W/2 series are the
statement of power supply.
Since the documents Extd by workman Krishna Kumar Singh are the documents of the department. It can not
be denied and they are reliable documents. Apart from that workman Krishna Kumar Singh has completely supported
his case in his evidence.
It is very regretfull that he regularly work for 17 years as daily wager and his services were not regularized.
This is the discrimination of department which should not have been done. From the certificate graned by the officer it
appears that till 30.06.2009 Krishna Kumar Singh worked in the department. Work was not taken from him though his
service were satisfactory. In this circumstances it is found that service of Sri Krishna Kumar Singh is required to be
regularized by reinstating him from July 2009 to uptill now.
AWARD
9.
It is hold that the action of the management of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited in terminating the services of
Sri Krishna Kumar Singh, a lineman ( under group ‘D’ Telephone Exchange ), Dulhin Bazar and not regularising his
service. While regularization of service of other junior co worker was not legal and justified. The workman is entitled
to be regularized with immediate effect after reinstating him w.e.f Ist July, 2009 with half back wages.
This is my award accordingly.
Dictated & Corrected by me.

through various political persons for termination of his service from the bank. He further stated in his statement of
claim for helping his friends he took a loan from the bank but he could not be able to pay the loan instalments regularly
as his wife also filed a case for maintenance. Secondly, his mother in law also filed a false police complaint against

regarding bounce of cheque on account of insufficient balance. He further stated that the truth is that he paid the
amount to one Mr. Pandya who has made the affidavit to the effect that the payment is already received by him. The
second party further stated that the first party bank also charge sheeted him for having an account No. 3120 in the first
party bank operated by cheque. After using all the cheques, he requested the officer to issue two fresh cheque books
and he put two cheque books in his drawer. He had not taken the said cheque book at his home, the said cheque books
were kept in his drawer in bank by some other person for which he was unaware. He has further stated that on the
second day he was on leave on that day, the bank has found the said cheque books and imposed illegal charge that he
had taken two cheque books unauthorisedly. He had further stated that he had not used the said cheque books. Though
the first party bank has manipulated with an intention to harass him through his wife and mother in law got false
criminal complaints lodged. Further in the statement of claim he stated that as stated herein above being a sub-staff

termination order dated 19.01.96 was illegal, improper and direct the bank management to reinstate him to his original
post i.e. sub-staff (daftari) with full back wages and further prayed to impose cost of this litigation.
3.
The first party has filed its written statement vide Ext.12 wherein they have denied the averment and
contentions made by the second party in his statement of claims and in paragraph 12, management has stated true facts
wherein management state that the first party bank is nationalised bank and having its branches in all over India. The
second party was working with the first party at Relief Road Branch as sub-staff (Daftari) at the relevant time. He was
served with the charge sheet dated 27.10.94 for the misconduct committed by the second party the main charge is the
second party has taken the loan from the other bank without the prior permission of the bank, the other charges he kept
the two cheque book unauthorisedly with him and third charge is the second party issued a cheque to Mr. Pandya which
was returned due to insufficient balance. The bank has stated that the above misconduct is violative of by party
settlement. Bank has further stated that second party reply was not satisfactorily. Bank decided to hold the departmental
inquiry against the second party workman and accordingly one D.R. Turakhiya was appointed as inquiry officer and
one G.B. Raval was appointed as presenting officer. The bank has further stated that though second party was allowed
to keep his defence representative in spite of that second party participated in the inquiry in person. Bank has further
stated that in the inquiry second party was afforded fullest opportunity to defend himself, he was allowed to cross-
examine the witnesses and after the following the principles of natural justice. Thereafter, the disciplinary authority
allowed the second party for personal hearing. Thereafter, the disciplinary authority passed the punishment order and
consequently, the services of the second party were terminated. The management has further stated that the action of
the management in terminating the service of second party is legal, proper and hence, the second party is not entitled to
get any relief as prayed for and requested to reject the reference. The bank has further stated that if Hon’ble Court
comes to the conclusion that the departmental inquiry held against second party is defective in that case the
management is allowed to establish the charges before this Hon’ble Court by producing evidence to that effect.
4.
After the perusal of the pleadings of the second party, following issues arise:
(I)
Whether the second party committed service misconduct by taking a personal loan from another bank,
issuing a cheque to third party knowing the fact that he has insufficient amount in his account and also
unauthorisedly keeping two cheque books without permission of the bank manager?
(II) Whether the second party was not given proper opportunity of hearing in the departmental inquiry?
(III) Whether the second party was given punishment without hearing?
(IV) Whether the punishment awarded is excessive?
5.
Second party A.H. Ismail in his statement (Ext.17) on oath stated that he had been working as Peon in the
Bank of Maharashtra, Relief Road branch since 10.09.1974. He never received any memo for his work and conduct.
His last monthly emoluments were Rs. 4500/-. He used to manage private documents, refund deposited, pay orders etc.,
and also keeping keys in the cupboard by taking from a bank official. He used to work all the duties of a clerk in case
of absence of any clerical staff of the branch. He was served with the charge sheet on 27.10.1994 under extraneous
pressure wherein the first charge was that he could not be able to pay the loan instalments of different banks regularly.
He took loan from bank for his brother in law. For the second charge, he stated that the son of Shri Pandya, deposited
the cheque by mistake. He also stated about the third charge that two cheque books were taken by him from his branch
without the permission of the branch manager which was wrong. He has an account in the bank since joining of his
service and had a passbook and cheque book of the said account. He also obtained new cheque books after finishing of
old one. Any notice or memo was not given to him. Departmental inquiry held against him and he had not called any
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2713
union for his side because he thought that the crime which was done is minor. And after the termination from service
on 19.01.1996, he tried to work elsewhere but failed. He has also stated that he has been unemployed since
19.01.1996. He is blessed with three sons and wife having no means of livelihood. But he has not challenged the
veracity and findings of the inquiry report. He has filed the inquiry report.
6.
ISSUE NO. I :- Whether the second party committed service misconduct by taking a personal loan from
another bank, issuing a cheque to third party knowing the fact that he has insufficient amount in his account and also
unauthorisedly keeping two cheque books without permission of the bank manager?- second party workman got
himself examined and admitted that he participated in the departmental inquiry and did not dispute the charges levelled
against him. Thus, the issue is decided him in affirmative.
7.
ISSUE NO. II:- Whether the second party was not given proper opportunity of hearing in the departmental
inquiry?- First party workman has not stated anything contrary in his statement leading to a conclusion that he was not
given opportunity of proper hearing. Thus, this issue is decided in negative.
8.
ISSUE NO. III :- Whether the second party was given punishment without hearing?- Again second party
workman has not stated anything contrary in his examination. Therefore, the issue is decided him in negative.
9.
ISSUE NO. IV:- Whether the punishment awarded is excessive?- All the aforesaid charges stated in the Issue
No. I, II and III are serious in nature. Second party workman was the custodian trustee of the cheque books of the bank
and taken out the two bunch/set of cheque books for self-use without the permission of the branch manager make it a
case of loss of confidence or trust in the employee(workman) and also make it a case of major punishment. Trustee
who is in custody of blank and unused copies of Refund Voucher, Pay order and cheque book has serious
responsibility to keep them in safe custody. In case, he himself take them out of his own custody without permission of
Branch Manager definitely, make it a case of serious misconduct. Thus, the punishment awarded is adequate, just and
fair and workman has no reason to express his anguish against the punishment awarded.
10.
The reference has no force and fit to be dismissed.
Order is passed accordingly.
This is the award of Tribunal.

working in Naroda Branch and whose name was not in the list of employment exchange was also appointed. Now they
had been made permanent. Nine women were also appointed on contract basis. Women employees filed the case in the
court and they made them part time regular employees and they all were his junior and their names also were not in the
employment exchange and their penal was also not made. After terminating of his service, he wrote the letters to the
first party again and again. In the year 2001, his case was entertained in National Commission for Schedule Caste and
Schedule Tribes. After that in 2002 and 2003, he had made written presentation to the first party. However, first party
had not appointed him till today. Thus, the action of termination from service of the second party is illegal and unjust.
He complained in the office of the Central Labour Commissioner for retrenchment in which first party were present
with written submission but did not ready to appoint him. Second party was removed illegally and the settlement was
not made between them, thus, this reference was sent to the Tribunal for adjudication. After termination as Badlee
Sepoy he tried to work elsewhere but failed to get work and he is still unemployed. He has prayed to quash his
termination from the service and reinstatement with full back wages along with cost of Rs. 5000/- by the first party.
3.
In reply to the statement of claim the first party Dena Bank stated in his written statement (Ext.14) denying all
the facts of the statement of claim of the second party, stated that the reference is misconceive, incompetent and bad in
law. Therefore, desires to be dismissed. Reference is also barred by the principles of delay and latches and requires to
be rejected by the Tribunal. Second party has no locus standi to raise the dispute. Second party does not fall within the
definition of 2(S) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Therefore, the reference is void ab initio and without jurisdiction
and also does not come within the jurisdiction of Tribunal.

4.
First party further stated that it is false to say that the second party was employed since 1989 and had been
working as Badlee Sepoy (peon) at Gomtipur Branch till 13.01.1996. It is also false to say he worked diligently and
honestly. It is also false to say that second party had been working full time i.e. from 10 O’clock in the morning to 6
o’clock in the evening and was paid Rs. 80/ - per day of every month. Second party was not appointed on the said post,
therefore, there exists no employer- employee relationship between the parties. It is wrong to say that second party had
worked for 243 and 289 days in the year 1994 and 1995.
5.
First party further stated it is not admitted that second party was not issued any memo, show cause notice and
his work was utmost satisfaction to the first party. It is also not admitted that he was removed from service without
giving any notice or holding legal inquiry and without giving opportunity of hearing. It is also not true that the penal
did not call for the names from the employment exchange and some personnel were made permanent in the year 1988.
Second party never given assurance by the first party. The true facts are that second party never appointed in the
services of the Bank and in support of his contention first party has referred number of decision of various High Courts
and Supreme Court. Therefore, the reference is liable to be dismissed.
6.
On the perusal of the pleadings of the both the parties following issues for decision arise:
(i)
Whether the second party was workman within the definition of section 2 of the Industrial Disputes Act?
(ii)
Whether the second party workman served the first party for more than 240 days?
(iii)
Whether the retrenchment of the second party workman was legal and justified?
7.
Second party workman Pramodbhai Kanjibhai Parmar stated on oath that he had been working as peon in the
Dena Bank Gomtipur Branch since 19.04.1989 till 13.01.1996. He was paid Rs. 80/- per day as salary. He worked 243
and 289 days in the Dena Bank in the year 1994 and 1995 respectively. He was not given any memo or notice at the
time of termination of his employment. He was orally removed and no departmental enquiry was order against him. But
some of the workmen who are junior to him are still working in the Bank. After termination of his service, he tried
other job unsuccessfully. At the time of termination, no financial payments were made to him. On his cross
examination, he did not state anything to his examination-in-chief.
8.
On behalf of the first party, Nitin Chinubhai Brahmbhatt was examined. He stated that Bank is required to follow
the recruitment procedure wherein the eligibility was that a candidate for the said post must be of 18 years age and not
more than 26 years and 31 years for general and schedule caste candidates respectively. They must have also passed 7th
standard for the general candidate and 6th standard for the schedule caste candidate. As the second party did not fulfil
above eligibility therefore, he was not forwarded by the employment exchange, consequently, second party was not
empaneled for the said post. He further stated that second party was not having any servant-master relationship with the
first party. He was not employed on a regular post therefore, serving for 240 days in a year does not cast any obligation
on the first party to appoint him as regular employee. Second party never terminated from the service. He was not
issued any appointment letter. As second party was not having the required eligibility, therefore, no relief can be given.
He further stated that Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India referred an industrial dispute between
the first and second party vide order no. L-12012/29/2001-IT(B-I) dated 31.05.2004 to this Tribunal for adjudication
with a reference as under:
“whether the action of the management of Regional Manager, Dena Bank, Ahmedabad in retrenching
Shri Pramod K. Parmar Badlee Sepoy without following provisions of section 25-F of the I.D. Act. 1947 is
justified and legal? If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Same was allowed to withdraw by the then Presiding officer, CGIT-cum-Labour Court, Ahmedabad on
23.08.2005. The said witness in his cross examination has not denied the fact that the second party did not serve the
first party Dena Bank for more than 240 days in the year 1994 and 1995. The witness for the first party has not filed
the copies of the application of the second party along with the documents which were required to be submitted by
him at time of appointment as Badlee Sepoy. In the said condition, adverse inference against the first party is to be
drawn for the reasons, if the second party was not having the eligibility requirement of the said post then why was
second party appointed as Badlee Sepoy and also as to why was he permitted to serve the first party for more than 240
days in the 1994 and 1995. Second, as regards the order of withdrawal of reference, I would like to reproduce the
wordings of both the references.
The reference which is undergoing adjudication:-
Ministry’s Letter No. 12012/29/2004-IR (B-II) dated 31-5-2004
2716
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
“Whether the action of the management of Regional Manager, Dena Bank, Ahmedabad in retrenching
Shri Pramod K. Parmar, Badlee Sepoy without following provisions of Section 25-F of the ID Act, 1947 is
justified and legal? If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
The reference which was withdrawn by the second party:-
The Government of India has referred the Industrial Dispute between the above parties by order No. L-12012/29/2001-
IR(B-1) dated 31-5-2004 to this Tribubal for adjudication the terms of reference is as under :
“whether the action of the management of Regional Manager, Dena Bank, Ahmedabad in retrenching
Shri Pramod K. Parmar Badlee Sepoy without following provisions of section 25-F of the I.D. Act. 1947 is
justified and legal? If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
If language of letters of both the references, withdrawn and pending are compared then we would find that the
pending reference relates to year 2004 and the withdrawn reference related to the year 2001. Thus, it cannot be
said that both the matters are same despite the fact that the dated or same because the copy of the award of the
reference No. 1442/2002 is Xerox and is not certified by the Central Government Industrial-Tribunal-cum-
Labour Court, Ahmedabad, Therefore, Xerox copy being not admissible as documentary evidence. Therefore, the
withdrawal order will not set up be set up as a estoppel or res-judicata.
9.
As the language of both the reference are different, therefore, the principle estoppel or res judicata will not apply.
10. The second party in his statement of claim and also in his testimony stated, “His work was utmost satisfaction to
the first party and no inquiry was instituted against him. His service record was clean and thus, it is illegal and unjust to
remove him from the service by the first party. He was removed from service without giving any notice or holding
legal inquiry and without giving opportunity of hearing. Further, he stated that no written notice was issued to him prior
to his termination from the service, as well as no legal benefits were paid to him. First party made a panel of 14
persons in the year 1994 for appointment as Badlee Sepoy. They were junior to him. Even today, they have been
working and did not add the second party workman in the aforesaid penal. Further, his junior Shri R.R. Sen, who is
working in Naroda Branch and whose name was not in the list of employment exchange was also appointed. Now they
had been made permanent. Nine women were also appointed on contract basis. Women employees filed the case in the
court and they made them part time regular employees and they all were his junior and their names also were not in the
employment exchange and their penal was also not made. After terminating of his service, he wrote the letters to the
first party again and again. In the year 2001, his case was entertained in National Commission for Schedule Caste and
Schedule Tribes. After that in 2002 and 2003, he had made written presentation to the first party. However, first party
had not appointed him till today. Thus, the action of termination from service of the second party is illegal and unjust.
He complained in the office of the Central Labour Commissioner for retrenchment in which first party were present
with written submission but did not ready to appoint him. Second party was removed illegally and the settlement was
not made between them, thus, this reference was sent to the Tribunal for adjudication. After termination as Badlee
Sepoy he tried to work elsewhere but failed to get work and he is still unemployed. He has prayed to quash his
termination from the service and reinstatement with full back wages along with cost of Rs. 5000/- by the first party”.
But the witness for the second party did not prefer to reply the aforesaid testimony of the workman.
11. Here, I would like to refer few judgements of the Gujarat High Court as well as Apex Court:
(a.)
Gujarat High Court in GSRTC vs Fatesinh Chhatarsinh Raj 2004 1 CLR 397 wherein it was observed that
herein the corporation challenges the judgments and orders passed learned single judge in the writ petition
awarding the relief of the reinstatement without back wages to respondent-badli sepoy, who was terminated
from service on account of the misconduct which was duly proved in departmental inquiry, and which
order was not disturbed by the labour Court, while awarding compensation to the workman. It was held that
“BADLI WORKERS” are not employees of GSRTC in view of the regulations 16 of the Gujarat State
Transport Employees’. Service regulation. The discipline and appeal procedure is also not required to be
ad-hered. In case of BADLI WORKERS. By no stretch of imagination, it can be said even for a moment
that the respondent workman is deprived of having benefit of the principles of natural justice, and this
contention is only an afterthought and cannot be accepted as it runs diametrically opposite to the weight of
record and established principles of jurisprudential concept of principles of natural justice. Though the
delinquent, a poor workman, in reality, by employment of this judgement would be condemned and
rendered jobless at the age when it would be difficult for him to secure regular temporary or permanent
employment, and considering the social circumstances, financial status and the principles of the provisions
of Section 11-A of the Act, coupled with the fact that the Labour Court had already awarded compensation.
A compensation of Rs.20,000/- payable to the respondent-workman by the appellant would meet the ends
of justice.
(b.)
Apex Court in Gujarat State Road Transport Corporation Vs Chandulal G. Rasadiya wherein it was
observed that it is true that ‘Badli workers’ are not employees of Corporation in view of Regulation 16.
Therefore the Discipline and Appeal Procedure is not required to be followed in case of Badli workers.
Badli workers are not having any right to hold any post or that they are not having any status as employees
of the Corporation, but at the same time it cannot be said that they can be stigmatised for their alleged
misconduct without following the principles of natural justice. What sort of procedure for establishing the
alleged misconduct against the Badli workman is required to be followed would depend upon the alleged
misconduct of the workman as well as his contention in reply to the show cause notice. If the workman
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2717
does not dispute the allegation made against him in the show cause notice, then it may not be necessary to
hold any further inquiry. Similarly, if he does not reply to the show cause notice, it may not be necessary
to hold any further inquiry. If he admits some allegations which are serious, then also it may not be
necessary to hold the inquiry.
(c.)
Supreme Court of India in Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation and Another Vs. S.G. Kotturappa
and another wherein it was observed that herein The Supreme Court held, gave them no status, their
services were not protected by any statute and they did not hold any civil post. The Supreme Court further
pointed out that in any event the instant cases were not such as would require compliance with Section 25-F
of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as the respondents had not completed 240 days’ service in the year
preceding the termination. Adverting to the question as to what extent principles of natural justice were
required to be complied with, the Supreme Court observed what was needed for the employer in a case of
this nature was to apply the objective criteria for arriving at the subjective satisfaction.
12.
ISSUE NO i &ii :- Whether the second party was workman within the definition of section 2 of the Industrial
Disputes Act?- and Whether the second party workman served the first party for more than 240 days?- the burden to
prove this issue that the first party has stated in his statement of claim and deposition that he worked more than 240
days in 1994 and 1995 and also stated that till retrenchment he served the first party. But First party’s witness Nitin
Chinubhai Brahmbhatt in his affidavit Ext.23 has stated that Bank is required to follow the recruitment procedure. As
second party does not fulfil the education eligibility despite the fact that he was engaged as temporary Badlee Sepoy,
therefore, could not be empanelled for appointment in permanent vacancy. Second party was not sponsored by
employment exchange and did not fulfil the recruitment norms in respect of age and education qualification entitling
him for empanelment. This arguments has no force because generally if there is any eligibility criteria for permanent
recruitment then same would apply for the temporary recruitment. Thus the first party has not come with the clean
hands concealing the truth. First party has also not submitted the documents which were submitted in the bank by the
second party at the time of fulfilment of temporary vacancy by second party. Thus, I come to the conclusion that
second party was a workman and also served the bank for more than 240 days in the bank at the time of retrenchment.
13.
ISSUE NO. iii:- Whether the retrenchment of the second party workman was legal and justified?- Section 2
(oo) defines retrenchment in the following works- means the termination by the employer of the service of a workman
for any reason whatsoever, otherwise than as a punishment inflicted by way of disciplinary action, but does not include-
(a)
Voluntary retirement of the workman; or
(b)
Retirement of the workman on reaching the age of superannuation if the workman concerned
contains a stipulation in that behalf;
The second party workman in his statement of claim and also in the statement on oath has stated that he served the first
party for more than 240 in the year 1994 and 1995. But he was retrenched U/s 25-F of Industrial Disputes Act .Section
25-F provides as under :- “NO workman employed in any industry who has been in continuous service for not less than
one year under an employer shall be retrenched by that employer until-
(a)
The workman has been given one month’s notice in writing indicating the reasons for retrenchment
and the period of notice has expired, or the workman has been paid in lieu of such notice, wages for
the period of the notice;
(b)
The workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation which shall be equivalent to
fifteen days’ average pay for every completed year of continuous service or an part thereof in
excess of six months; and
(c)
Notice in the prescribed manner is served on the appropriate Government for such authority as may
be specified by the appropriate Government by notification in the Official Gazette.
The burden to prove the ingredients of the section 25-F whereon first party neither in the written statement (Ext.14)
nor the first party witness Nitin Chinubhai Brahmbhaat in his affidavit has stated that while retrenching the second
party, he was served the notice and also was paid the required compensation. Thus, the impugned order of
retrenchment is illegal and unjustified.
14.
Here, I would lie to refer the provisions of Section 25-G and 25-H which are as under :
‘‘Section 25 procedure for retrenchment: Where any workman in an industrial estaolistment, who is citizen
of India, is to be retrenched and he belongs to a particular category of workmen in that establishment in the absence of
any agreement between the employer and the workman in this behalf, the employer shall ordinarily retrench the
workman who was the last person to be employed in that category, unless for reasons to be recorded the employer
retrenches any other workman.’’
2718
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
‘‘Section 25-H Re-employment of retrenched workmen : Where ant workmen are retrenched, and the employer
proposes to take into his employ any persons, he shall in such manner as may be prescribed, give an opportunity to the
retrenched workmen who are citizen of India to offer themselves for reemployment and such retrenched workmaen
who offer themselves for reemployment shall have over other peersons.’’
The aforesaid provisions indicate that in the case of retrenchment, last man will be retrenching here in this case. Second
party has stated that workmen junior to him are still working which indicates that while retrenching the second party
workman, first has violated provisions of Section 25-G and 25-H. It is also noteworthy that the second party has stated
in his statement that depriving him from the job, first party has also appointed and regularized the co-employees Badli
Sepoy junior to him. Thus, it is also a violation of Section 25-H of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
15. Thus reference is fit to be allowed. Second party workman Pramod K. Parmar be reinstated with back wages. The
back wages shall be recovered by first party bank from his errant officials who were responsible for the retrenchment of
second party Pramod K. Parmar.
Order is passed accordingly.
This is the award of the Tribunal.

By Order No. L-12011/39/2015-IR(B-II) dated 15/21.07.2015 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

‘‘Whether the deceitful attitude of the management of DENA Bank by denying the charter of
demands of the Union as per Annexure-A is justified? If not, what relief the members of the Union
are entitled to?’’
2. When the case is taken up today for hearing, none appears either on behalf of the management or on
behalf of the union. It appears from the record that none appeared on behalf of either of the parties even on
the previous two dates. In fact, none appeared on behalf of the parties since the initiation of this reference.
3. From the above facts and circumstances it may reasonably be presumed that the union at whose instance
the present reference has been initiated has got no interest in the matter. So, no fruittual purpose will be
served in keeping the matter pending.
4. Considering the above, instant reference is disposed of by passing a ‘‘No Dispute Award’’.

S-I to clerical cadre instead of her original position of as special assistant with Branch Officer Aggar Nagar or
near by is fair, legal and justified? If not, what relief the workman concerned is entitled to and from which
date?”
2.
Case repeatedly called. None appeared for the workman nor any evidence is present on behalf of the union.
On the last date of hearing also, no one was present on behalf of the union. It appears that the union is not interested to

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
Government of India Ministry of Labour vide notification No. L-12012/93/2013-IR(B-II) dated 16.12.2013
has referred the following dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication:
“Whether the action of the management of (i) Dy. General Manager, Syndicate Bank, Regional Office, SCO
No.76-77 Sector-17-B, Chandigarh & (ii) The Manager, Syndicate Bank, Mohan Nagar, Kurukshetra
(Haryana) in termination of the services of workman Smt. Sarita Alias Santra w.e.f. 24-01-2012 is just, fair
legal and justified? What relief the concerned workman is entitled to and from which date?”
2.
The workman in claim statement submitted that she was employed by the respondents as sweeper on
6.10.2005 in its Mohan Nagar Branch on daily wages at DC rates, but the management paying her only Rs. 100/- per
day . She worked at sweeper up to 24.01.2012 with the management when her services were terminated without any
notice inspite of the fact that regular work was available. Applicant was not given any pay in lieu of notice and nor any
retrenchment compensation was given though the applicant had put in more than 240 days of continuous service in
every calendar year. The management has violated the provisions of Section 25F,G and H and other provisions of the
I.D.Act by not allowing the claimant to join inspite of repeated requests by the applicnt. It is prayed that as the
termination of the applicant is illegal, arbitrary, unjust, malafide, ultra virus and against the principle of natural justice,
she may be reinstated in service with full back wages, continuity in service, seniority and other allowances bonus etc.
3.
The management filed written statement. Preliminary objection has been taken that the workman was never an
employee of the bank and was only engaged as temporary sweeper as per requirement of the bank branch and was
asked to do the work of sweeper as and when required i.e. one or twice in a three months some time for one hour and
some time for two hours and she was paid as per the work done during that period of one hour or two hours. It is further
pleaded that some important papers were found missing which were recovered from her possession. On enquiry she
admitted her guilt, her voice were tape recorded which was taken in possession by the police. After that bank never
asked her to do the job of cleanliness in the bank. The bank never appointed or engaged her and the payments were
made to her for the work done and there is no question of retrenchment and provisions of the I.D.Act were not
violated. It is further pleaded that the applicant has no locus standi to raise the dispute as there exists no relationship of
employer-employee as no appointment or termination letter was issued to the applicant. It is also pleaded that the
applicant has not completed 240 days of service as per requirement of Section 25F of the I.D.Act 1947. On merits it is
pleaded that applicant was never employed by the management and she was only engaged orally on temporary/casual
basis by the branch manager as per the requirement of the branch and she was not engaged on DC rates. The applicant
was engaged as sweeper to clean the branch @Rs.100/- per day. The applicant was not a regular employee, therefore,
not eligible for the scale wages and there is no question of deduction of provident fund and no infirmity was committed
by the management in dispensing with the services of the applicant. It is also pleaded that the applicant worked
intermittently and as the applicant was never engaged by the management, therefore, there is no question of
retrenchment. As regard the conduct of the applicant is concerned, it is pleaded that the applicant was in the habit of
making false complaints of sexual harassment against the branch head. She submitted a complaint to the police
authorities and the police authorities investigated the matter and closed the case after finding the complaint to be totally
false, frivolous and baseless. She filed a criminal complaint No.22 dated 7.4.2012 against the officials of the respondent
bank under Section323,354,376,511 IPC and Section 3(xi) of SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act Police Station
Thanesar. But the aforesaid complaint was dismissed for non- prosecution by the Ld. Court vide order dated 7.5.2012.It
is further pleaded that all the branch staff members passed the resolution not to continue with the services of the
applicant in future due to her integrity as she stolen the photograph and other material displayed on the branch notice
board. It is further submitted that the applicant has never completed 240 days in a calendar year, therefore, provisions
of Section 25 F ,G &H of the I.D.Act 1947 are not attracted. The management prayed that the claim statement of the
applicant is devoid of merits and the same may be dismissed.
4.
In evidence, applicant filed her affidavit as Ex.W1. The management filed one affidavit Ex.M1 of Vinod
Kumar Duggal. The management also relied on documents Ex.M2 to M5. Both the witnesses of the parties were
examined and cross-examined by the parties.
5.
I have heard the parties, gone through the evidence and record.
6.
The applicant in her claim statement clearly stated that she was appointed as sweeper on daily wages at
D.C.Rates but respondent /management were not paying her D.C.Rates but paying Rs.100/- per day. Management in
this context has replied that claimant was engaged as temporary sweeper as per requirement of the bank branch
manager. The management also submitted in its written statement that claimant was directed to do the work of sweeper
as and one required i.e. once or twice in the three months, some time for one hour and some time for two hour and she
was paid as per the work done during that period of one hour or two hour. The management has disputed the regular
appointment of the claimant. The claimant in her statement before this Tribunal stated that “ When I was appointed by
the bank I was issued appointment letter but I have not filed the same”. The claimant has not filed any document which
could prove that she was appointed by the bank and any appointment letter was issued to her as per recruitment rules
and following the process for recruitment. Management submitted that her services were disengaged as her work was
not satisfactory and claimant was involved in making false complaints against the staff of the bank. Thus it is clear that
the claimant was not appointed by the bank nor any appointment letter issued as per procedure and rules.

7.
The workman cited Civil Writ Petition No. 14392 of 2012 Punjab and Sind Bank Versus Balwinder Kaur and
another and Civil Writ Petition No.17770 of 2012 Punjab and Sind Bank Vs. Harbhajan Singh and others. The
principle of law laid down in these case laws do not apply in the present case as facts and circumstances of these case
laws were quite different from the facts and circumstances of the case in hand. In 2008(1)SLR 670 G.M.Tanda
Thermal Power Project Versus Jai Parkash Srivastava and another the Hon’ble Supreme Court held that termination
of services of daily wages, employee employer relationship disputed, no such post created by competent authority,
direction for reinstatement cannot be issued. In 2003(4)RSJ 781 the Head Master, Government High School, Behrana
Versus Ajit Singh and another,the Hon’ble High Court (DB) has held that section 25 of the I.D.Act, back door entrant,
benefit of Act can not be given to respondent workman whose entry in service is clearly illegal. In AIR 1994 Supreme
Court 1638 Madhyamik Siksha Parishad, U.P. Appellant Vs. Anil Kumar Mishra and others etc. Hon’ble Supreme
Court has held that workers on temporary assignment only, working on unsanctioned post has no right of regularisation
for such employees. Completion of 240 days of work by them can not attribute status of casual workmen to them in
AIR 1997 Supreme Court 3657 Himanshu Kumar Vidyarthi and others Vs. State of Bihar and others , the Hon’ble
Supreme Court has held that appointment made on the basis of need of work termination of their services can not be
construed to be retrenchment and same is also not arbitrary as they were not entitled to post. In Civil Writ Petition No.
12303 of 2006 Sh. Balbir Singh Vs. Presiding Officer Ludhiana and others, the Hon’ble High Court have followed the
same principle of law.
8.
In view of the above legal position the claimant was engaged by the management as sweeper on daily wages
and was not appointed as per rules and no recruitment procedure was followed. Hence, the disengagement of the
applicant cannot be held to be unjustified, unjust and illegal.
9.
It is also pertinent to mention here that as per the workman she was appointed as sweeper and was also issued
appointment letter by the management. The management specifically denied and averred that the workman was
engaged for cleaning work as and when needed and she was paid Rs.100/- for the work done per day. It is also
specifically pleaded by the management that workman never completed 240 days in a calendar year, therefore, the
management is not under obligation to serve notice of one month or pay in lieu of notice and retrenchment
compensation before termination of the services of the workman. The workman claim that she was appointed in the
bank as sweeper and the workman had to prove her case that she was appointed in the bank as sweeper and was issued
appointment letter by the management. The workman has not filed even a single document to prove her version that she
was appointed by the bank. Thus the management is not under obligation to serve notice of one month or pay in lieu of
notice and to pay her the retrenchment compensation. The applicant failed to prove that she worked 240 days in
preceding year from the date of termination. From the above discussion, it is clear that the applicant is not entitled to
any relief.
10. Reference is answered accordingly. Central Govt. be informed. Soft copy as well as hard copy be sent to the
Central Govt. for publication.

(Central), Chandigarh vide its letter No. 2278(E) dated 15.9.2010 under Section 2(a)2 of the Industrial Disputes

2. It is further pleaded by the workman that the inquiry officer was appointed but the procedure of the inquiry was
not explained to the workman. List of witnesses and list of documents have not been supplied to him, copy of the
inquiry proceeding was not given to him. No proper opportunity was given to the workman to defend during inquiry
proceedings by the inquiry officer which amounts to violation of principle of natural justice. The inquiry was not
conducted impartially. In defence, documents produced were not considered by the inquiry officer and his services
were terminated without affording him any personal hearing. The appeal filed against his illegal termination was also
rejected without considering on the merits. It is prayed that the inquiry may be declared as void ab initio and the
workman may be ordered to be reinstated in service with continuity and full back wages. It is also pleaded that the
workman filed a civil suit against his illegal termination. On the objection of the management the suit was rejected.
3.
The management in written statement, taken preliminary objection that workman filed a civil suit in the court
of Civil Judge Patiala which was rejected on 1.12.2001 with a direction to present the same before the appropriate
forum. On merits it is pleaded that workman was placed under suspension on account of contemplation/pendency of
enquiry into serious charges of misconduct committed by the workman. As the reply furnished by the workman to the
charges sheet was not found satisfactory, therefore, the competent authority appointed enquiry officer and nominated
presenting officer for holding detailed department enquiry in the allegations as mentioned in the charge sheet dated
15.12.2006. The enquiry officer conducted the enquiry and full opportunity was given to the workman to defend
himself during inquiry. The workman was present on each and every date of inquiry, never raised any objection that he
was denied opportunity. The workman was provided copies of all the relevant documents and granted opportunity to
inspect the record. The workman allowed to engage defence representative of his choice who participated in the
inquiry along with workman on the several occasion. All the witnesses of the management were cross-examined by the
defence representative of the workman. The workman signed the proceeding on each and every date of inquiry.
Written submission were also acknowledged by the Enquiry Officer He was also given time to submit his argument.
The inquiry report was provided to the workman. Each and every opportunity was given to the workman to defend
himself during the inquiry. Appeal filed by the workman was duly considered by the appellate authority and rejected
by a detailed order. It is prayed that inquiry was conducted adhering to the principle of natural justice and full
opportunity was given to the workman to defend himself and there is no illegality infirmity in the inquiry and the
termination of the workman is legal and justified.
4.
Earlier arguments of the parties were heard on the issue of fairness of enquiry. This Tribunal vide order dated
7.11.2014 held as under:
“From the record of the case it is revealed that charge sheet was issued to the workman to which reply was
filed by him. The enquiry officer was appointed. The workman was allowed to engage the representative of
his choice to defend himself in inquiry. DR of the workman cross-examined the witnesses of the
management and the workman was also allowed to produce his own affidavit. Workman also submitted
written arguments which were duly considered by the inquiry officer and inquiry report was submitted to the
disciplinary authority. Copy of the enquiry report was also sent to the workman and the workman was given
full opportunity to defend himself during inquiry. The workman was present on each and every date of
enquiry. From the record it is also revealed that at no stage the workman raised any objection that he was
not given any opportunity to defend himself. Therefore, taken into consideration the facts and circumstances
it is held that inquiry was conducted fairly and properly as the workman failed to point out any infirmity in
the inquiry.
Though the departmental inquiry is found fair and proper even then this Tribunal thinks it proper to afford the
opportunity to the parties on the point of perversity and quantum of punishment.”

5.
In view of the above, the parties were given opportunity to lead evidence on the issue of perversity and on
quantum of punishment.
6.
In evidence, the workman filed his own affidavit. The workman was also cross-examined by the counsel for
the management. The management it its evidence also placed on file the affidavit of Shri J.M.Singh senior manager
Punjab & Sind Bank Zonal Office Patiala who was also cross-examined by the counsel for the workman.
7.
I have heard the parties, gone through the evidence and record of the case.
8.
As discussed above, the enquiry has been held fair and proper. So far as the issue of perversity and quantum
of punishment are concerned, workman submitted that he was appointed as armed guard at the branch and he was
bound to obey and follow the instructions issued by the Branch Manager and in compliance of the instructions of the
branch manager, he was doing cashier duty on some occasions. Workman also submitted that he was maintaining the
cash book as directed by the branch manager and the cash book was countersigned by the manager. In this regard, the
workman referred to the cross-examination of the witness of the management shri J.M.Singh Senior Manager Punjab
& Sind Bank who stated in cross-examination as under:
“Manager is competent to engage any security man to any duty and manager is authorized to pay the difference of pay
for that particular date. Manager can engage any employee for particular duty in addition to his own duty. Cashier
entries are countersigned by the managers. The whole cash book is countersigned by the manager.”
9.
This witness of the management also stated in cross-examination that “ if any employee is sent out side for
official duty, then the manager certify his outdoor duty and pay TA/DA as per bank rule. Workman perform outdoor
duty and he was accordingly paid TA. It is correct that cheque bill purchase power is invested in the branch manager.
This cannot be done by cashier or any other clerk”. From the above, it is clear that the workman being the armed guard
perform duty of cashier following the instructions of the manager.
10.
The workman further submitted that the punishment imposed upon the workman is highly disproportionate
and the workman in this regard submitted that this Tribunal has the power to substitute the disproportionate punishment
under Section 11A of the Industrial Disputes Act 1947.The workman also cited the following case laws:
i)
1989 L.I.C. 1043 ( S.C.) Scooter India Ltd. Vs.Labour Court Lucknow and others.
ii)
AIR 1984 SC page 321 Management of Hindustan Machine Tools Ltd. Vs. Mohd Usman and
another.
iii)
1996(1) RSJ 89 Punjab State Co-operative supply and Marketing Fedration Ltd. Vs. Balbir Singh and
another.
iv)
1999(3)RSJ 19 Punjab State Civil Supplies Corporation Ltd. Vs.Presiding Officer,Labour Court
Bhatinda.
v)
1997(3) SCT 572 Virender Singh Vs. M/s. Remington Rand of India( P) Ltd. and
vi)
2008(3) RSJ 150Mavji C Lakum Vs. Central Bank of India.
11.
Section 11A of the ID Act 1947 provides as under:
“11-A.Powers of Labour Courts, Tribunals and National Tribunals to give appropriate relief in case of
discharge or dismissal of workmen. –Whearas an industrial dispute relating to the discharge or dismissal of a
workman has been referred to a Labour Court, Tribunal or National Tribunal for adjudication and, in the course of the
adjudication proceedings, the Labour Court, Tribunal or National Tribunal, as the case may be, is satisfied that the
order of discharge or dismissal was not justified, it may, by its award, set aside the order of discharge or dismissal and
direct re-instatement of the workman on such terms and conditions, if any, as it, thinks fit, or give such other relief to
the workman including the award of any lesser punishment in lieu of discharge or dismissal as the circumstances of the
case may require”.
12.
Considering the entire facts and circumstances of this particular case, in my view, it is fit case to invoke the
above provisions of the I.D.Act.
13.
Thus by exercising the powers under Section 11A of the I.D.Act , the punishment of dismissal without notice
from bank’s services is hereby substituted with reinstatement in service at the lowest scale of pay as armed guard
without any back wages and monetary benefit within one month from the date of publication of the award. The
workman shall also not be entitled to any pension benefits from the date of dismissal to the date of reinstatement.
14.
The industrial dispute is answered accordingly. Central Govt. be informed. Soft as well as hard copy be sent
to the Central Govt. for publication.

2. After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim. Case of
Ist party workman is that he was engaged as messenger in Champa branch on 9-7-87. He was working 8 hours every
day. He was working as messenger in the Bank from 9-7-87 to 1-11-10. He was paid from contingency fund. His
services were orally terminated on 1-11-2010. He was not served with notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid
to him. He had completed more than 240 days continuous service each of the year. His services are terminated in
violation of Section 25-F of ID Act.
3. Ist party further submits that provisions of ID Act are applicable to 2nd party. On 15-12-08, he ad submitted
representation for regularisation on the post of messenger. Information regarding his services was submitted to
Regional Office on 28-2-09, other employees working with him were regularized in 1990. He was called for interview
on 19-2-98. He was selected after interview but appointment letters was not given to him. Workman submits that he is
eligible for regularisation instead of regularisation, his services are illegally terminated. On such ground, workman
prays for his reinstatement with backwages.
4. 2nd party filed written Statement opposing claim of workman. 2nd party contends that workman was never
employed by the Bank. Work of messenger was extracted from him in addition to his work as canteen boy on need
basis. workman not regularly worked as messenger. Workman was disengaged by Local Implementation committee of
the Bank on 30-10-2010. As his services were not required. Workman had not worked 240 days during any calendar
year. Settlement dated 17-11-87was arrived between staff federation and management. Said settlement provided that
temporary employees completing 240 days continuous service in block of 12 months temporary employees completing
240 days continuous service in block of 36 months, 30 days aggregate temporary service or minimum 70 days
aggregate service in block of 36 calendar months from 1-7-75 were treated as Category A,B, C. workman was called
for interview on 19-2-90 as per said settlement. Workman was not found suitable for absorption, he not completed 240
days service. He is not entitled to protection of section 25-F of ID Act. It is reiterated that workman is working as
canteen boy. He was engaged and terminated by Local Committee managing the canteen. Bank did not terminate him.
On such ground 2nd party prays that reference be answered in its favour.
5. Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the management of State Bank
of India, Regional Business Office-7, Bayron
Bazar, Raipur and SBI, Champa Branch, Distt.
Janjgir Champa in terminating the services of
Shri Shiv Shankar Nishad w.e.f. 1-11-2010 is
legal and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
6. The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of workman from 1-11-2010. Regularisation of
workman is not included in term of reference. Therefore pleading in statement of claim and evidence of workman
on the point of denial of regularisation is beyond the terms of reference and cannot be considered. Controversy
between parties is only related to legality of termination of workman needs to be considered.
7. Workman filed affidavit of his evidence. Workman has stated that he was engaged on 9-7-87 and continued
to work till 1-11-2010 in chhapa branch as messenger. He worked with devotion. He produced certificate about his
working. In 1991 to 1998, he worked for 452 days. That he completed 240 days working during every calendar
year. His services were terminated without notice. Retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. In his cross-
examination, workman says during 1987 to 2010, he was working as canteen boy and messenger. He was directly
engaged, any recruitment procedure was not followed before his engagement. When workman was asked whether
he was serving drinking water to the welfare committee, workman did not give straight reply and claimed that he
was working as messenger. Workman denied that he was terminated by Chairman of Welfare Committee. Initially
he was working as canteen boy and he was working as messenger as per need. He denied that he did not work 240
days during any of the year. Workman has produced documents Exhibit W-1 certificate of temporary service, 38
days in 1987.Exhibit w-2 is certificate of working for the period 4-7-94 to 28-9-94 for 62 days. Even if evidence of
Ist party is accepted, he worked for 450 days during 1991 to 1998, the evidence is not sufficient to prove that
workman worked continuously for 240 days in 12 calendar years preceding termination of his service on
1-11-2010.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
8. Evidence of management’s witness B.Govind Rajan is devoted on most of the contentions of Written
Statement filed by 2nd party that workman was not engaged or appointed by the management. After Ist party
workman was interviewed on 19-2-90, he was not found suitable. Ist party was engaged as canteen boy by Local
Implementation Committee.
9. Management’s witness in his cross says he is working in chhappa branch in 2013. Prior to it, he was not
posted in said branch. Management’s witness was unable to tell when workman was engaged as canteen boy, how
payments were made to him. Workman was called for interview in 1990, any select list is not produced.
Management’s witness was unable to tell whether Asharam and Pardeshiram were called for interview when
workman was interviewed. Management’s witness denied that workman had worked continuously more than 240
days during 1987 to 2010. Workman was not paid retrenchment compensation as he was working on canteen. The
evidence on record is not sufficient to establish that workman continuously worked more than 240 days preceding
12 months of his termination in October 2010. Therefore the workman is not entitled to protection of Section 25-F
of ID Act. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Affirmative.
10. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1) The action of the management is proper and legal.
(2) Workman is not entitled to any relief.

Annexure and not considering the for further employment while recruiting fresh hands under section 25H of I.D. Act is
justified? If not to what relief are the workmen concerned entitled to?
3.
Brief facts are-
4.
There were a number of industrial disputes numbering 124/86, 129/86, 1/87, 11/87, 14/87, 93/89 269/90 and
33/91. All the industrial disputes were decided y a coon award dated 30.09.97 by the then learned Presiding Officer Sri
B K Srivastava. It was held in the award that the removal from service of ll the concerned workmen except Kali Prasad
Bhawani Bux Siungh, Mithlesh Kumar Ranjeet Kumar Gupta and Yogendra Prasad is bad I law being in breach of
provisions of section 25H of Industrial Disputes Act. Consequently my award is that they will be entitled for
reinstatement without any back wages. Thereafter management of State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur civil misc writ
petition number 2399 of 98. This writ petition was filed against six respondents i.e. Shyam Sunder, Ram Chamoli,
Adesh Kumar Garg, Sushil Kumar Singhal, Veer Sen Jain and Anil Kumar petition was filed against six respondent. I
would like to say that all these six respondents are the claimant in the aforesaid I.D. No. 93 of 89 which has been
disposed off by the Hon’ble High Court with certain directions vide its order dated 20.04.99. The Hon’ble High Court
held that the impugned award is set aside d the matter is remanded back to the tribunal for fresh decision on the
question as to whether fresh appointments were made. Further the tribunal will also consider as to how many
appointments were made, in which branch or zones such appointments were made and thereafter record detail finding if
necessary, the tribunal will give fresh opportunities of leading evidence to both the parties.
5.
Here first of all I would like to say that the tribunal has given fresh opportunities to both the parties to file oral
or documentary evidence. Sufficient opportunity has been given.
6.
Facts of all the claimants though they have filed separate claim statements are almost identical and the
opposite party has also file reply written statement which is also the same on legal points. I also like to mention that the
original file was misplaced and the file has been reconstructed by y learned predecessor so there are only photocopies
of the record.
7.
In brevity I mention th fact regarding claim of Sri Singhal. It is stated that the opposite party instead of
appointing permanent employee for doing the regular duties of permanent nature started a practice of appointing
employees designating the a temporary employee for doing the work of regular nature in order to deprive such
workmen from continuing in service and becoming a regular employee as also to deprive them from the benefits of
modified Sashtry Award. Such appointments were made not exceeding 80 days in terms. As such he was appointed at
the bank’s mujaffarnagar branch as clerk from 29.06.81 to 16.09.81 after which is services were terminated without any
reason or justification services as there was shortage of permanent staff instead continuing the claimant with effect
from 17.09.81. There was no justification of retrenchment or termination of the service as there was shortage of
permanent staff. Instead of continuing the claimant fresh hands were employed to discharge the similar duties of the
cadre as the work for which the claimant was employed was of a regular nature. He was not the junior mot when his
services were terminated and no seniority lit was maintained as required under the provision of section 25G and the
rules made there under. Even no seniority lst was maintained as provided under para 507 of Shastry Award. Fresh
hands were employed by6 the bank after termination of his service without affording any opportunity of reemployment.
Therefore, the bank violated the provisions of section 25G of the Act also provision of section 25H of the Act and also
rule 78 made there under. Therefore, they have prayed that the action of the management in terminating their services
be declared as unjustified and void and they should be reinstated.
Similar are the facts of other claimants. In the case of Shyam Sunder he had worked from 6.4.78 to 24.6.78 at Mujaffar
Nagar Branch of the opposite party as peon.
8.
Sri Veer Sen Jain had worked as clerk with effect from 14.4.81 to 02.07.81 at Mujaffar Nagar Branch.
9.
Sri Ram Chamoli is alleged to have worked as clerk from 9.6.83 to 27.8.83 at Mujaffar Nagar Branch of the
opposite party, Sri Anil Kumar is alleged to have worked as clerk from 30.12.82 to 19.3.83 at Mujaffar Nagar of the
opposite party, Sri Adesh Kumar has worked as clerk in the opposite party bank at Mujaffar Nagar Branch with effect
from 09.06.83 to 27.08.83.
10.
Opposite party has filed the written statement. It is alleged by them that the claimants have not completed
more than 240 days, their case does not come within the purview of the retrenchment. As such they cannot get the
benefit of section 25G and 25H of the Act. Further said that there is banking service recruitment board for recruitment
of clerks and other members covering the concerned workmen they cannot be taken into service without clearing in the
examination held by such board. Further said that these appointments were made for fixed term as such they have got
no right what so ever because section 2(oo)(bb) of the Act. It is noteworthy that the opposite party bank has not denied
that they had worked for 80 days.
11.
Rejoinder statement on behalf of the workmen have also been filed but nothing new has been submitted
therein except reiterating the facts already pleaded by them in the claim respective claim statements.
2732
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
12.
Heard the arguments perused the records. It is true that the claimants have not adduced any oral or
documentary evidence after the remittance of the case from the Hon’ble High Court. Whereas the opposite party bank
has adduced oral as well as documentary evidence in respect of the points mentioned by the Hon’ble High Court
regarding fresh appointment and the basis.
13.
Opposite party has Kishan Lal Gupta, branch manager as a witness .W.1. He stated on oath that the claimants
were engaged for a fixed period and appointment letter itself includes the termination. They were ot retrenched. The
claimants have not moved any application for renewal of service. The claimants had not worked on such posts where
the work of a regular nature. It is stated that the bank has given an advertisement in the news paper on 7.7.87 and
thereafter on 18.07.87 for taking all those workers who had been temporarily engaged by the bank, they could have
moved an application but the claimants after the publication did not move any application for taking them on job. They
have not worked for 240 days or more they did not work for 90 days.
14.
Opposite Party has also filed affidavit of Sri Kishan Lal Gupta who is a manager of the opposite party. This
affidavit is dated 10.07.02. This affidavit has been given in reference to the application moved by the claimant dated
27.02.01. It is stated in para 2 that after due and thorough search it has revealed that Sri Yogesh Kumar Garg, (2) Suil
kumar Taneja, (3) Prabhu Ram, (4) Rajesh Kumar, (5) Desh Raj, (6) Shyam Singh (7) Mukesh Garg and (8) Mahesh
Pal. I have been appointed in the bank service through banking service recruitment board. Their appointment letters
have been located and the same are being filed (1) Sri Ganga Singh Rajput, (2) Sri C P Lamb, (3) Ram Ji Prasad,
Satyawan Singh ad Vinay Kumar Dubey were not appointed by the bank.
15.
CGIT Kanpur passed the award dated 14.5.87 in I.D. Case No. 41 of 46 and against the said award the
management preferred writ petition before the Hon’ble High Court vide its order dated 16.07.87 interalia directed that
the operation of impugned order dated 14.5.87 shall remain stayed subject to the bak paying to the workmen concerned
the entire wages up to the date with effect from 10.05.87 and it shall be open to the bank to either to take work from the
workman concerned or to continue to pay him wags month by month as stated therein. As per directions of the Hon’ble
High Court the bank preferred to take work and pay wages or the said period. It is stated that it was only as per
direction of the Hon’ble High Court. It is stated that Smt. Krishna Gupta was appointed on compassionate ground after
the death of her husband Sri R K Gupta. Further stated on oath that in spite of best efforts the opposite party could not
lay hands and found any records of Sri Pradeep Kumar Sharma, Awadhes Kumar Goel, Mirazuddin, Rakesh Kumar
Pradeep Kumar and Naseem Ahmad and further details of these persons are required. It is further stated that attendance
register as requited are not available in the branch and appears to have been weeded out as per book of instructions
since the period of retention of the attendance register is of 5 years. Copies of the appointment letters available with the
bank are filed along with affidavit. No appointment letters are available in the bank of other persons named in the list of
the applicant. These appointment letters are filed along with list paper no.12/1. There are 9 appointment letters.
16.
On the basis of these records and evidence I have to draw the conclusion on the points referred by the Hon’ble
High Court.
17.
Claimants have moved an application dated 27.02.01 whereby they stated the names of twenty persons
regarding fresh appointments. Regarding these persons specific and categorical explanation by way of affidavit has
been given by the opposite party and appointment letters have been given by the opposite party vide application paper
no.13/2. Therefore, according to the evidence it has been revealed that 9 appointments have been made by the opposite
party.
18.
Appointment of Sri Yogesh Kumar Garg, Sri Sunil Kumar, Prabhu Ram, Rajesh Kumar, Des Raj, Shyam
Singh, Mumkesh Garg and Mahesh Pal has been made by the head office of SBBJ Opposite has filed has stated in
affidavit that these appointments have been made through banking service recruitment Board and they have filed
appointment letters. These appointments are for Mujaffar Nagar Branch of the Bank.
19.
It is stated by the opposite party AR that it falls within the zone of Regional Manger II Delhi Zone. Regarding
the fact of branch and zone auth. Representative for the claimant has not raised any doubt before me and they have not
advanced any arguments on this point. Therefore, the recruitment was made by Banking Service Recruitment Board
under Delhi Zone. Claimant has not filed any counter affidavit on this point or did not appear in evidence.
20.
Therefore, it has been found and revealed that 8 appointments have been made through Banking Service
Recruitment Board and one appointment of Smt. Krishna Gupta has been made on compassionate grounds. Regarding
appointment of Sri Ganga Singh Rajput, C P Lamba, Ramji Prasad, Satyawan Singh and Vinay Kumar Dubey have
been appointed under the directions of the Hon’ble High Court. Full facts have been stated in para 3 of the affidavit and
narrated by me.
21.
Regarding Sri Pradeep Kumar Sharma Awadhesh Kumar Goel Mirajuddin Rakesh Kumar Pradeep Kumar and
Naseem Ahmad respectively, it is stated that the claimant has not given further particular regarding these appointments
and no such person has been appointed. On this point also there is no reason to disbelieve the affidavit of management
and the oral evidence of M.W.1.
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2733
22.
Therefore, this pioint has been made clear i.e. how many appointments have been made under which branch
and under which zone.
23.
Now it has to be ascertained whether the opposite party has committed breach of any of the provisions of the
Act like 25G and H of the Act.
24.
Claimant has moved an application dated 17.12.07 stating therein that the worker Sri Shyam Sunder peon and
Sri Ram Chamoli clerk-cum-cashier are not known to the authorized representative for the workman as such does not
representing the claim of these persons and not pressing the claim on their behalf.
25.
Opposite party contended that they have done their acts under legal and statutory directions. If claimants are
alleging any mala fide on the part of the opposite party management then it was imperative for them to come in the
witness box and state before the court on oath. But none of the claimant appeared in the witness box and stated on oath.
It is stated that the pleadings cannot take the shape of proof particularly where some facts are involved and decision has
to be given on those facts. I agree with the contention of the opposite party. Hon’ble Apex Court has laid down in a
number of decision that if anyone who wants to seek any relief from a court of law initial burden lies on him to prove
the pleadings, the must come in the witness box to state the facts before the court. An opportunity has to be given th
opposite party to contradict him. Despite best opportunity given by the Hon’ble High Court as well as this tribunal none
of the claimants appeared before the court to ay that they were not informed according to law and provisions laid down
under section 25H and rules made there under. It cannot be automatically be said that initial burden would shift to the
opposite party. M.W.1 has been cross-examined at length by the authorized representative for the claimant. Only this
suggestion has been given that there is persons like Sri Yogesh Kumar Garg and others mentioned in para 2 of the
affidavit have been appointed by the bank directly and not through the recruitment board. As I have already stated that
the recruitment mentioned in para 2 have been made through the banking service recruitment board. The suggestion has
been denied by M.W.1.
26.
I have also given a thought that when four claimants are left and they want some relief alleging some mala
fide on the part of the management then they must have come before the court to say on oath, but they have failed for
the reasons best known to them.
27.
Claimants’ have placed reliance upon decisions-
a.
2004 (101) FLR 1171 Allahabad High Court in between M/s. Kanpur Electricity Supply Company Kesco
House and PO, IT Kanpur.

AWARD
Passed on this 10th day of May 2016
1.
As per letter dated 27-12-2001 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-12012/339/2001-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of Asstt. General Manager, Region-I, SBI, Jabalpur, MP in not regularizing instead
terminating the services of Shri Bhaiji Raikwar, S/o Shri Shambhu Prasad Raikwar, Ex. temporary messenger,
Sihora branch w.e.f. 10-12-2000 is legal and justified? If not to what relief the workman is entitled to?”
2.
After receiving order of reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party submitted statement of claim.
Case of Ist party is that he was earlier employed as messenger on Sehora branch. He worked in 2 spells from 12-7-80 to
14-10-81 & 2-2-81 to 16-5-81. Thereafter he was sent to work in society known as Sthaniya Karyalaya Samiti, State
Bank of India, Jabalpur. Ist party workman worked in said society from 15-5-81 to 9-12-00. His services were
dismissed from 10-12-00 without notice. Termination of his service amounts to retrenchment. He was not paid
retrenchment compensation as per Section 25-F of ID Act therefore his retrenchment is illegal.
3.
Ist party further submits that society was run by State Bank of India. Workman was working in the branch
prior to 17-5-81 as messenger. He was transferred to society therefore Bank official is principal employer and
responsible for his reinstatement. That his services could not be changed by transfer to the society. That transfer of his
services to the society is with mala fide intention. He was entitled for regularization after completion of 240 days.
Workman was interviewed prior to his appointment during 1980-81. Workman is not given opportunity even after he
had worked continuously for 30 days. On such ground, workman prays for his reinstatement with backwages.
4.
2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 18/1 to 18/11 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party contends that Ist
party workman was engaged as canteen boy in staff canteen of Sehora branch from 7-5-81 to 9-12-01. The Local
Implementation Committee is welfare Committee. Manager of Bank is its President. Bank provides subsidy to the
Committee for running canteen for catering services to the staff. The Local Implementation Committee recruits canteen
boy. Bank has no concern with the recruitment. It has no supervision or control on working of canteen boy the Local
Implementation Committee did not employ Ist party in the canteen. 2nd party further submits that Ist party was initially
engaged on daily wages as temporary messenger for 95 days during the period 12-7-80 to 14-10-80, 104 days during 2-
2-81 to 16-5-91 total 199 days. He was not appointed as messenger against vacant post. The engagement of workman
was purely contractual on daily wage basis. Said engagement of Ist party cannot be treated as employment in the Bank.
Any dispute was not raised w.r.t. non-engagement for past 20 years. There is no question of violation of provisions of
ID Act. Non-engagement of workman is covered under Section 2(oo)(bb) of ID Act. Workman had not completed 240
days continuous service during any of the calendar year. Workman is not covered under Section 25 B of ID Act. Ist
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2735
party workman was not engaged following recruitment rules. only after selection regular appointments would be made.
Branch Manager working at the branch had no authority to appoint sub staff on regular basis. 2nd party submits that
daily wage employment cannot be continued for long period. Isty party workman worked as daily rated employee
depending upon exigency of work in the branch. That the provisions of various agreements dated 17-11-87, 16-7-88,
27-10-88, 9-1-91, 30-6-96 provided opportunity for absorption for temporary employees. Last date for submission of
application as per the settlement was 20-9-91 by temporary/ daily wage employees. The advertisement was also issued
in newspaper. Ist party employee not applied or availed opportunity provided by the management. 2nd party reiterates
that Ist party was employed by Local Implementation Committee as canteen boy. 2nd party has no concern with
employment of Ist party as canteen boy. He cannot claim regularization under pretext of working more than 240 days in
a calendar year. He was engaged as temporary messenger for certain periods. His non-engagement is covered under
Section 2(oo)(bb) of ID Act. On such ground, 2nd party submits that workman is not entitled for reinstatement with
backwages. Reference be answered in its favour.
5.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of Asstt. General Manager, Region-I, SBI,
Jabalpur, MP in not regularizing instead terminating the services of
Shri Bhaiji Raikwar, S/o Shri Shambhu Prasad Raikwar,
Ex.temporary messenger, Sihora branch w.e.f. 10-12-2000 is legal
and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
12.
The term of reference pertains to denial of regularization and legality of termination of services of workman.
Workman filed affidavit of his evidence supporting his whole contentions in statement of claim. Affidavit is filed on
21-7-05. Ordersheet dated 16-6-08 shows that management remained absent and right of cross-examination of
workman was closed. Order sheet dated 23-9-09 shows that management was absent and evidence of management was
closed. Case was fixed for argument. Evidence of workman remained unchallenged as management failed to cross-
examine workman. Application for dismissal of reference was filed by management. As per order 31-7-13, said
application was rejected for the reason that the controversy regarding legality of termination and denial of
regularization was required to be decided recording evidence of the parties. Order dated 23-9-09 was recalled as per
order dated 24-2-2014. 2nd party management filed affidavit of his witness Shri B.C.Patel supporting contentions of 2nd
party in the Written Statement. That workman as engaged on daily wages as temporary messenger for 95 days during
95 days during the period 12-7-80 to 14-10-80, 104 days during 2-2-81 to 16-5-91 total 199 days. As per various
settlements, opportunity was given to part time employees given chance for permanent employment in the Bank.
Advertisement was given in newspaper inviting applications in prescribed format by casual workers working during
stipulated period as per settlements. Workman was never appointed as messenger on vacant post as per recruitment
rules. during 1980-81, workman worked only for 190 days, he has not completed 240 days continuous service. In his
cross-examination, management’s witness says workman as not appointed by the Bank. He claims ignorance when
workman was appointed in canteen managed by Local Implementation Committee. Workman did not work as
messenger in the Bank. He had readover the agreement between Union and management of Bank. Management’s
witness admitted Exhibit M-1. Pleading in Para-4 of statement of claim filed by workman are clear that he worked
with the society during the period 17-5-81 to 9-12-02. The society has not been impleaded as party in the proceeding.
When workman was working as messenger(temporary) for 95 days during 12-7-80 to 14-10-80, 104 days during the
period 2-2-8 to 16-5-81 and his services were transferred to the society as per workman. He had not raised the dispute.
Evidence on record shows workman was working with society. Said society is not impleaded as party. Document
Exhibit W-1 pertains to information was called w.r.t. casual employees working as per the settlement. The copy of
bipartite agreement is produced at Exhibit M-1 to M-6. When pleading of workman in para 4,5 of statement of claim
shows that he was working with the society of Implementation Committee running the canteen, evidence on record is
not cogent that workman continuously worked more than 240 days preceding termination of his service. Workman is
not covered under Section 25 B of ID Act. He is entitled to protection of Section 25-F of ID Act. Ist party has not
adduced evidence that canteen managed by Implementation Committee is statutory canteen and management of 2nd
party is Principal Employer of workman. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Affirmative.
13.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

Passed on this 9th day of May 2016
1.
As per letter dated 31-12-98 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-12012/102/98/IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of State Bank of India in terminating the services of Shri Dilip
Mishra w.e.f. April 97 is justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled for?”
2.
After receiving reference order, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim at
page 5/1 to 5/2. Case of workman is that he was appointed as messenger at Bhind branch on 15-7-71. He was paid
wages through Banker’s cheque regularly from 15-7-91 to 1993. Workman was given authority letter for compliance
from officers of the Bhind branch to Collect important letters from Post office. He continued to work as messengers in
Bhind branch for more than 7 years. That his services are terminated in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. His
services were terminated without assigning any reasons arbitrarily. He completed more than 240 days continuous
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

2737
service. Termination of his service is by way of fixation in violation of principles of natural justice. On such ground,
workman prays for his reinstatement with backwages.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 7/1 to 7/11 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party submits that
workman was engaged purely on part time daily rated basis as waterman. He was doing work of spraying water on
khasta during summer season. He worked for 30 days in June-July 91, 31 days in July-August 91, 7 days in November
91, 31 days in March-April 92, 30 days in April 92 to May 92. He was engaged on contract basis as per exigency of
work. After work was over, workman was not engaged. After workman raised dispute, conciliation proceeding had
failed, dispute has been referred.
4.
2nd party submits that Ist party had worked only for total 127 days. That his services were terminated from
April 97. Thereafter workman was never employed. As per bipartite agreements dated 17-11-87, 16-7-88, 26-10-88,
9-1-91, 9-7-92, the sub staff were allowed opportunity for absorption. Workman did not fulfill prescribed criteria
therefore he was not called for interview. The claim of workman that he worked continuously from 15-7-91 to 1993 is
incorrect and false. It is denied that workman had completed 240 days continuous service or Ist party is terminated in
violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. 2nd party further contends that workman is not covered under Section 25 B of ID
Act. Workman was engaged temporarily as per exigencies. His non-engagement is covered under Section 2(oo)(bb) of
ID Act. Workman is not terminated in violation of provisions of ID Act. On such ground, 2nd party prays for rejection
of claim.
5.
Workman submitted rejoinder at Page 9/1 to 9/4 reiterating his contentions in statement of claim. In his
rejoinder, he has further contented that he worked more than 240 days. He was in continuous service for 7 years. He
was discontinued from service in utter disregard of principles of natural justice. Action of management is in violation
of Section 25 H of ID Act.
6.
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 State Bank
of India in terminating the services of Shri Dilip Mishra
w.e.f. April 97 is justified?
In Negative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
As per final order.
REASONS
7.
The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of service of Ist party workman. Workman filed
affidavit of his evidence supporting his contentions in statement of claim. That he was engaged as messenger from
15-7-91, he was paid wages through Banker’s cheque regularly from date of his engagement in the year 1993. He was
given authority to collect letters from Post office, he continued to work under such authority till 21-1-97. His services
were discontinued in March 1997 without assigning reasons in violation of provisions of ID Act. As per settlement, he
worked for 89 days giving him right for regularization in service. He completed more than 240 days continuous service
during all those 7 years. His services are terminated in violation of section 25-F, H of ID Act. In cross-examination,
workman says appointment in Bank are made after taking examination, he admitted that wages paid to him were
earlier settled. He denies that he was engaged for 2-3 hours. He denies that he worked only for 27 days in the year 1991
to 1997. Branch Manager was not of his acquaintance. His name was not sponsored through Employment Exchange.
From his re-examination, documents W-2 to W-4 are admitted as secondary evidence. Witness was not further cross-
examined. As such documents Exhibit W-2 to W-4 are not challenged.
8.
Management’s witness Shri Rakesh Kumar Agrawal submitted his affidavit of evidence mentioning his
working days during 1991 to 1992. That workman was engaged only for 127 days during 91 to 93. He was engaged for
2-3 hours. As per settlement dated 17-11-87 and others, the eligible candidates for fulfilling prescribed criteria found
eligible for interview. Workman was not fulfilling required criteria therefore he was not found eligible for absorption.
In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he was appointed in State Bank of India on 7-10-83. He was
working at Bhind branch during 2009 to 2012. Presently he had not seen workman, he had not seen reply filed by
workman in conciliation proceeding before ALC. He did not seen the original record. He was unable to tell working
days of workman, he not seen attendance register, pay sheets etc. relating to workman. Bank may be in custody of those
documents. Evidence of management’s witness shows that he has no personal knowledge about engagement of
workman and the documents are not produced.
9.
Workman has produced documents Exhibit W-1 letter issued by Asstt. General Manager calling information
w.r.t. engagement of workman and one Rakesh Jain, W-2 authority given to Ist party workman on 16-8-91 for
collecting letters of Bank. Exhibit W-3 is not legible. Exhibit W-4 is authority letter given to workman on 11-3-97 for
collecting bank letters. Exhibit W-5 is authority letter dated 16-8-96. Exhibit W-6 is copy of dak book. Exhibit W-8, 9
are authority letters given by Bank on 17-2-97, W-10, 11 are copies of peon book about delivery of letters. Evidence of
2738
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
workman shows he was working in the Bank in the year 1997. Though management’s witness says the workman was
working in the Bank, the documents of payment of wages or attendance of workman are not produced. Evidence of
management’s witness shows that management has withheld documents. Exhibit W-2,3 also shows workman was
working in the Bank during the year 1996 as messenger. As 2nd party has not produced documents to establish that
workman was engaged only for 127 days for 2-3 hours, in my considered view, evidence of workman corroborated by
documents deserves to be believed. Workman was terminated without issuing notice, he was not paid retrenchment
compensation. Therefore termination of service of workman is in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. For above
reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.
10.
Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1, workman is terminated in violation of Section 25-F of ID
Act, question remains for consideration whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages.
11.
Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri Vijay Tripathi emphasized that workman was not engaged following
recruitment rules. appointment letter was not given to him. Workman is not entitled to reinstatement with backwages.
Learned counsel for 2nd party submits that reasonable compensation may be awarded.
Learned counsel for workman relies on ratio held in
Case of Tapash Kumar Paul versus BSNL and another reported in 2014-15-SCC-313- their Lordship dealing with
point of reinstatement/ backwages/ compensation in lieu of reinstatement when may be awarded substitution for order
of reinstatement by awarding compensation must be based on justifiable grounds like- (i) where industry is closed,
(ii) where employee has superannuated or is going to retire shortly and no period of service is left to his credit, (iii)
where workman has been rendered incapacitated to discharge duties and cannot be reinstated, (iv) when he has lost
confidence of management to discharge duties.
Termination of workman in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act is entitled to reinstatement with backwages since in
absence of full back wages, employee would be distressed and suffer punishment for no fault of his own in absence of
proof of gainful employment.
2nd party has not adduced evidence that after termination of his service, workman was in gainful employment.
Workman was terminated long back and his evidence is not disclosing how he is living all those long years.
Considering above facts, in my considered view, instead of full back wages, payment of 50 % backwages would be
appropriate. Therefore I record my finding in Point No. 2 that workman be reinstated with 50 % backwages.
12. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is not proper and legal.
(2)
2nd party management is directed to reinstate workman in the same position with 50 % backwages.
Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In case of
default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

worked for 88 days, in 1996 for six days. Workman further submits that other persons Ajay, Kailash shivhare were
taken on permanent establishment of the Bank. The workman similarly situated illegally. Workman had submitted
applications to the management in prescribed forms time to time as per settlements between management and
federation were of no avail. He served legal notice through counsel. Action of management is violative of provisions of
ID Act. Workman claims he is entitled for permanent absorption as sub staff in the bank. The settlement were revised
time to time and conditions were further retained at the time of workman ought to have been taken in permanent service
regularizing his services. Workman was thrown out of employment denying the regularisation as per settlement. On
such ground, workman prays that management be directed to consider him for absorption in regular cadre in regular
sub staff reinstating in service.
3. 2nd party filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. As per 2nd party, workman was engaged o daily
wages purely on temporary basis at Sabalgarh branch of the Bank. Workman worked for 97 days during period 8-5-92
to 31-3-93, 88 days in 1995, 6 days in 1996. Ist party workman intermittently worked during above said period. He not

The contract was everytime for one day starting with opening of branch and ending at closing of the branch. He was
free not to come on next day. It is reiterated that workman was not engaged after 1996. Bank has recruitment rules.
Workman was not appointed following recruitment rules, conciliation process. He has no right to any post by working
on daily wages. As per settlement dated 17-11-87, temporary employees working in the bank during 1-7-75 to 31-12-87
having age between 18 to 26 are eligible for appointment in subordinate cadre. The policy was extended till 14-8-91 as
per settlement dated 14-7-88. Ist party workman had worked during the period 1-7-75 to 14-8-91. He is not entitled to
benefit of settlement working days framed by workman are not disputed. It is denied that workman was working as full
time messenger class IV employee. As Ist party was not working during period as per settlement, workman is not
2740
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
entitled for absorption as per settlement. As per order passed by Hon’ble High Court in Writ petition, workman is not
entitled to any benefits. On such ground, 2nd party prays reference be answered in its favour.
4. Workman filed rejoinder reiterating its contentions in statement of claim. The submissions of 2nd party about
extended time limit of settlement 14-8-91. Despite of settlement, workman was engaged during the period 8-5-92 to
1996 by management. Clearly shows that those settlement were binding on workman who worked during the period
1-7-75 to 31-12-87. That the action of management terminating services is bad and violative of provisions of ID Act.
That he is entitled to be absorbed in regular service as sub staff.
5. Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the management of General
Manager (O), State Bank of India, Bhopal in terminating
the services of the workman Shri Umesh Tiwari, S/o Shri
Bhawani Prasad Tiwari w.e.f. 1996 is justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
6. The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of services of workman in 1996. The term of reference
is silent w.r.t. regularisation of services of workman as per the settlement. Pleadings in statement of claim fully
devoted for absorption of workman in sub staff, services as per settlement beyond the terms of reference.
7. Workman filed affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit of evidence, he says that he worked in Sabalgarh branch
of the Bank during 1992 to 1996. He worked for 191 days as messenger on daily wages. He was paid wages by cheque,
its record is in the Bank. In June96, his services were terminated without notice. There was settlement dated 17-11-87
between Union and management, he claimed ignorance. He was engaged in 1992. After termination of his service, he
was not given opportunity to work. In his cross examination, workman says he is graduate, he had given application
for job, its copy is not produced, appointment letter is not given to him. Order was issued on same paper, it is not
produced on record. He was paid wages by cheque. Documents are not produced in the Court.
8. Witness Kashiram Sharma for workman is also on the point that workman as engaged on daily wages during
1992-93, 93-94. Workman told him his services were terminated without notice in 1996. Evidence of workman and his
witness is devoted on the point of termination of services of workman.
9. Documents produced by workman Exhibit W-1 shows workman worked for 74 days during the period
5-5-92 to 31-12-94. Exhibit w-2 shows workman worked for 23 days during 1-1-1993 to 31-4-93. Exhibit w-3 shows
workman worked for 6 days in 1996. Evidence of workman and his witness and documentary evidence shows that
workman had not worked for 240 days preceding 12 months of his termination in June 96. Workman is not covered
under Section 25 B of ID Act. He is not entitled to protection under section 25-F of ID Act. Workman has produced
settlement Exhibit W-4 to W-7as per settlement Exhibit W-4 temporary employees working for 240 days after 1-7-75,
270 days in block of 36 months after 1-7-75, 30 days aggregate temporary service after 1-7-75 are eligible for
absorption in regular service of the Bank subject to the application submitted and selection by the Committee.
10. As term of reference doesnot include regularisation of workman claim of workman in his statement of claim for
regularisation as per the settlement is beyond terms of reference and cannot be allowed.
11. From evidence discussed above, workman failed to establish that he completed 240 days continuous service
preceding 12 months of his termination in 96. Termination of service of workman cannot be said in violation of section
25-F of ID Act.
12. Learned counsel for workman Shri R.K.Soni relies on ratio held in case of Tapash Kumar Paul versus BSNL
2014-15-SCC-313, Sanjay Kumar versus Chief Executive Officer, Janpat Panchayat, Ratlam reported in 2010-
MPLJ457. The ratio held in both the cases cannot be applied to case at hand as workman failed to establish 240 days
continuous service during preceding 12 months of his termination. For reasons discussed above, I record my finding in
point No.1 in Affirmative.
13. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

No. L- 12025/5/2004-IR(B-II) dated 31.03.2004 referred the dispute for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal,
Rajkot(Gujarat) in respect of the matter specified in the Schedule:
SCHEDULE
“Whether the action of the management of Union Bank of India in denying the claim of Shri P.A. Palan to
treat his service as a continuous one from the date of his initial entry in service i.e. 6th June, 1969 and for
fixation of his pay accordingly is legal and justified? If not, what relief the workman concerned is entitled to?”
4.
This reference dates back to 31.03.2004. Both the parties were served. Second Party Gujarat Bank workers
Union filed the vakalatpatra (Ext.4) on 06.02.2009. But they did not file the statement of claim since then. Thus, it
appears that second party is not interested in the proceedings of the reference. Therefore, Tribunal has no option but to
dismiss the reference in default of the second party.
The reference is dismissed in default of the second party.

AWARD
The Government of India/Ministry of Labour, New Delhi by reference adjudication Order
No. L-12012/215/2001-IR(B-II) dated 23.04.2002 referred the dispute for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal,
Ahmedabad(Gujarat) in respect of the matter specified in the Schedule:
SCHEDULE
“Whether the action of the management of Punjab National Bank in terminating the services of Smt.
Kalpanaben M. Shah by way of “compulsory Retire” vide order dated 19.12.2000 is legal, proper and
justified? If not, what relief the concerned workman is entitled to and what other directions are necessary in
the matter?”
2.
The second party Mrs. Kalpana M. Shah in her statement of claim (Ext.3) has stated that she joined first party,
Punjab National Bank, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad on 02.04.1979 as clerk-cum-Typist and had been performing her
duties faithfully and diligently. Her service record was clean and spotless and she was never served with any show
cause notice or warning. While serving at Navrangpura Branch of the first party she detected the fraud in the bank’s
record committed by Assistant Manager Shailesh Jani who was the office bearer of the Bank’s Officers Association.
Shailesh Jani and Branch Manager Vinod Dixit also Secretary of the Officers Association started harassing her. Both
the officers denied her MTP leave also denied the disbursement of salary and deduction of provident fund since May-
1993 despite repeated request. She drew a cheque against her salary account, same was returned without informing her.
They also used to make adverse and abusive comments against her which used to cause her embarrassment in daily
working. She made complaints and representations to the Chairman and Managing Director of the first party Bank vide
letters dated 23.09.1994 with copies of the said letters to the concerned authorities and parties but Shailesh Jani and
Vinod Dixit did not mend their conduct. The said conduct and harassment by the said officers caused her mental
illness and she was also forced to leave the job.
3.
She further alleged that while working at Navrangpura branch she was assigned the work of talling the
accounts/ledgers wherein she detected that balances were untallied and wrong reports were made by the aforesaid
officers of the branch to the Regional Office. These detection of fraud in the accounts led into annoyance to the
aforesaid officer Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit who started harassing her as said above. Management also did not care
to reply her aforesaid representation dated 23.05.1994 and 23.09.1994 and instead issued her charge sheet on
15.02.2000 for long absence from duty. She replied the charge sheet on 22.09.2000 stating inter alia that she was very
much interested to join the duty being the source of bread and butter of her family but first party bank without caring
reply started department enquiry.
4.
She further alleged that she was called by the management on 24.11.2000 where the enquiry officer threatened
and forced her to admit the charges with a promise to give benefit of voluntary retirement scheme. The enquiry officer,
D. Vasudevan who was male forcibly obtained her signature at the margin of the charge sheet instead of obtaining at
the bottom of the charge sheet to believe that she really admitted the charges. Later, without her knowledge she was
awarded punishment on the basis of the hand written note of the enquiry officer D. Vasudevan without recording the
evidence of either of the parties showing as if she admitted the charge.
5.
She further alleged that while serving with the charge sheet, principles of natural justice were not followed
neither by the first party bank not the enquiry officer because she was not provided any documents which would have
been the basis of the charge sheet, no witness was examined in support of the charges levelled in the charge sheet and
thirdly she was not given any opportunity to defend her. She was also not provided the copy of the enquiry report while
proposing or awarding the punishment. Thus, the enquiry was illegal and against law. Therefore, she has prayed for
reinstatement with back wages.
6.
First party Punjab National Bank submitted written statement (Ext.7) wherein raised preliminary objection that
the service condition of the workman employee in the banking sector are governed by Shastri and Desai awards besides
Bipartite settlements. Second party Kalpana M. Shah had been absent from 28.05.1994 to 14.09.2000 for total 2338
days constituting the gross misconduct within the meaning of the provision of the Bipartite settlement. Therefore,
disciplinary proceedings were initiated against her. She was advised to appear for personal hearing on 09.12.2000 but
she did not appear. Therefore, a punishment of compulsory retirement superannuation benefits was awarded on
19.09.2000.
7.

detected in the ledger of the bank and harassment caused to Kalpana Shah by Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit Assistant
Manager and Manager of the bank on account of the fraud detected by Kalpana Shah and the written statement is
completely silent on these facts narrated in the statement of claim . Written statement is also silent regarding the

why the enquiry report which was prepared by printing on computer then what was the necessity to give finding in the
hand written note.
8.
On perusal of the pleadings following issues arise for passing award by this Tribunal:
(i)
Whether Kalpana M. Shah second party detected fraud in the ledger of the Bank being committed by
Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit, Assistant Manager and Manager of the Branch of the Bank?
(ii)
Whether Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit, Assistant Manager and Manager of the Branch of the Bank
harassed and taunted second party Kalpana Shah leading into her mental illness?
(iii)
Whether the principles of natural justice was observed in the department proceedings made against
Kalpana M .Shah by enquiry officer, D. Vasudevan?
(iv)
Whether the management of the Punjab National Bank followed the direction of the judgement of the
Supreme Court passed in Vishakha Vs. State of Rajasthan, Writ Petition (Criminal) No. 666/1992
judgement dated 13 August, 1997?
9.
Second party Kalpana M. Shah filed her affidavit (Ext.12) as examination- in-chief wherein she reiterated the
facts narrated in the statement of claim (Ext.3) and in the cross examination she has not stated anything contrary to her
in the statement of claim. On behalf of the first party, D. Vasudevan reiterated in his examination-in-chief/affidavit
(Ext.25) all the facts narrated in the written statement.
10.
ISSUE NO. I & II: Whether Kalpana M. Shah second party detected fraud in the ledger of the Bank being
committed by Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit, Assistant Manager and Manager of the Branch of the Bank? & Whether
Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit, Assistant Manager and Manager of the Branch of the Bank harassed and taunted second
party Kalpana Shah leading into her mental illness?- These issues are inter related, therefore, are decided together.
Second party Kalpana M. Shah in her statement on oath has stated that she joined first party, Punjab National
Bank, Navrangpura, Ahmedabad on 02.04.1979 as clerk-cum-Typist and had been performing her duties faithfully and
diligently. Her service record was clean and spotless and she was never served with any show cause notice or warning.
While serving at Navrangpura Branch of the first party she detected the fraud in the bank’s record committed by
Assistant Manager Shailesh Jani who was the office bearer of the Bank’s Officers Association. Shailesh Jani and
Branch Manager Vinod Dixit was also Secretary of the Officers Association started harassing her. Both the officers
denied her MTP leave also denied the disbursement of salary and deduction of provident fund since May-1993 despite
repeated request. She drew a cheque against her salary account same was returned without informing her. They also
used to make adverse comments against her which use to cause her embarrassment in daily working. She made
complaints and representation to the Chairman and Managing Director of the first party Bank vide letters dated
23.09.1994 with copies of the said letter to the relevant authority and party but Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit did not
mend their conduct. The said conduct and harassment by the said officers caused her mental illness and she was forced
to leave the job. She further alleged that while working at Navvrangpura branch she was assigned the work of talling
the accounts/ledgers wherein she detected that balances were untallied and wrong reports were made by the aforesaid
officers of the branch to the Regional Office. These detection in the accounts led into annoyance to the aforesaid
officer Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit and started harassing her as said above. Management also did not care to reply
her aforesaid representation dated 23.09.1994 and 23.05.1999 and instead issued her charge sheet on 15.02.2000 for
long absence from duty. She replied the charge sheet on 22.09.2000 stating inter alia that she was very much interested
to join the duty being the source of bread and butter of her family but first party bank without caring reply started
department enquiry.
11.
The aforesaid statement of Kalpana M. Shah has neither been reverted in the written statement nor in the
statement of D. Vasudevan the witness examined on behalf of the first party who was also fortunately the enquiry
officer in the department proceeding. Law of evidence requires that if any allegation has been levelled by one party
against the co-employees then it would have been the duty of Punjab National Bank the first party to rebut the same
through examination of those employees who are alleged to be guilty. In this case, Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit would
have been examined. Thus, it can be said that the allegation of Kalpana M. Shah against aforesaid employees in the
matters of fraud committed in the ledger of the Bank and harassment of Kalpana M. Shah by these employees leading
into mental ill health and forcing her to proceed to long absence are un-rebutted and true. It is also strange that Kalpan
M. Shah made complaints to the higher authorities before the initiation of departmental proceedings that she was
harassed by Branch’s Assistant Manager and Manager who committed fraud in accounts but higher authorities did not
care to inquire those complaints. Thus, these issues are decided in affirmative and in the favour of second party
Kalpana M. Shah.
2756
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
12.
ISSUE NO. III & IV: Whether the principles of natural justice was observed in the department proceedings
made against Kalpana M. Shah by enquiry officer, D. Vasudevan? & Whether the management of the Punjab National
Bank followed the direction of the judgement of the Supreme Court passed in Vishakha Vs. State of Rajasthan, Writ
Petition (Criminal) No. 666/1992 judgement dated 13 August, 1997?- These issues are inter related and therefore,
decided together.
The learned counsel for the first party filed the written argument (Ext.34) wherein he has impressed upon that
no illegality has been committed in the department proceedings as well as in the punishment awarded. In support of this
case, he has submitted two judgment of the Gujarat High Court specifically Keshav Nathu Makwana Vs. General
Manager, SCA No. 13473 of 2010 and Subhash Bharti Vs. General Manager Bank of Baroda, LPA No. 259 of 2013 in
SCA No. 65 of 2012.
13.
Both the parties have filed number of documents which are not under question. Here, I would like to remind
the first party as well as his advocate because Kalpana M. Shah second party was served with the charge sheet on
24.11.2000 and on the same day enquiry report was prepared and submitted despite the Apex Court Judgement.
Hon’ble Supreme Court of India passed a judgment in Vishakha Vs. State of Rajasthan, Writ Petition (Criminal) No.
666/1992 on 13 August, 1997 (1997 6 SCC 241 wherein Apex Court issued the detailed directions for all the
government and no-government bodies for observance in the matters of women workmen/employees. As per the
condition/observance of the judgment in the Vishakha case (Supra) Punjab National Bank was required to constitute the
enquiry committee consisting of women officers in the matters of harassment of women employees. Punjab National
Bank has not denied the allegations of second party Kalpana M. Shah regarding the detection of fraud in the bank
ledgers committed by Shailesh Jani and causing harassment to her by Shailesh Jani and branch manager Vinod Dixit.
Punjab National Bank has also not denied that Kalpana M. Shah did not make any complaint against those officers to
the management of Punjab National Bank. Second, the appointment of D. Vasudeven as enquiry officer was also
against the direction of Vishakha case (supra) as all departmental inquiry or proceedings ought to have been made by
woman enquiry officer. Thirdly, enquiry report has been prepared in hush because after serving the charge sheet the
workman ought to have been given time for her defence and D. Vasudevan and the Presenting Officer P.R. Chauhan
must have examined the witnesses for proving the charges. The enquiry report which is one page report confirm the
allegation of Kalpana M. Shah that enquiry officer as well as Presenting officer were in hurry to prepared the enquiry
report in order to save Shailesh Jani and Vinod Dixit who ought to have been dealt strictly into the allegation by the
bank management. Thus, the inquiry report is sham.
14.
The direction and observance passed by the Apex Court in the Vishakha case have the force of law and non-
observance and defiance the same makes the enquiry vitiated and against the law of the land and also principles of
natural justice.
15.
The record also reveals that Kalpana M. Shah second party despite being not guilty and also serve bank with
honesty, dedication and impeccable integrity became the victim of the decision of the bank management. Kalpana M.
Shah in the said circumstances tried to go on voluntary retirement but the management denied the same and forced her
to compulsory retirement which is against the violation of Vishakha case because Para 10.19 of PNB Employees
Voluntary Retirement Scheme, 2000 provides as under:
“An employee who opts for voluntary retirement under this scheme but against whom the disciplinary proceedings are
contemplated, their case shall be considered by the respective Disciplinary Authorities having regard to the facts of
each case before forwarding the request of such an employee to the Competent Authority. In case the Disciplinary
Authority decides that the request of such an employee for voluntary retirement be not accepted, the same shall be
communicated to the employee in writing and he shall have a right to make and appeal to the committee of Two
General Managers to be constituted by the Chairman & Managing Directors for the purpose. The decision of such
committee shall be communicated to the employee in writing and their decision in this regard shall be final.”
Under the said provision, the Chairman and Managing Director of the Punjab National Bank was under a duty to
constitute a committee of General Manager to enquire and give report as to why Kalpana M. Shah was not entitled for
Voluntary Retirement Scheme.
Thus, the Issue No. III and IV are decided in affirmative and in favour of the Kalpana M. Shah second party.
16.
The record and evidence reveals that this is a case wherein Shailesh Jani, Assistant Manager and Vinod Dixit,
Branch Manager of the questioned branch of the bank as well as enquiry officer D. Vasudevan and Regional Manager
were involved in the conspiracy to teach lesson to Kalpana M. Shah for a work wherein Kalpna M. Shah would have
been rewarded for good work, dedication and integrity and Shailesh Jani, Assistant Manager and Vinod Dixit, Branch
Manager of the questioned branch of the bank ought to have been subjected to departmental proceeding and be also
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2757
punished. This is also disgusting that the then Chairman and Managing Director of the Punjab National Bank were
sleeping into a case of harassment of a woman workman.
17.
In the light of the aforesaid discussion, I come to the conclusion that Kalpana M. Shah be reinstated with back
wages and all the service benefits within 30 days from the publication of the award by the Government of India. I also
come to the conclusion that the amount likely to be paid to Kalpana M. Shah by way of back wages and service
benefits must be recovered from the salary of Shailesh Jani, Assistant Manager and Vinod Dixit, Branch Manager of
the questioned branch of the bank and enquiry officer D. Vasudevan and also from the salary of the then Regional
Manager and also the appellate authority of the Punjab National Bank.
This is my award to be complied with as said above.

The

the

before
the

present application on 23.03.2011 under Amended Section 2A(2) and the same was registered as I.D. Application No.
02/2011.
2.
The applicant vide Exh.-1 application dated 23/03/2011 stated that he was appointed by the Opponent Bank at
Mehsana Branch as a peon in the year 1981 and was confirmed after six months from the date of appointment. It is
further stated that in March 2009 he was performing his duties as a peon at Indian Bank, S.G. Road, and lastly he

he was issued the charge sheet dtd. 06.03.2009 by the Management. The applicant has given his explanation to all the
charges in the application. Against the said charge sheet a departmental inquiry was initiated on various dates from
27.03.2009 to 02.05.2009. On conclusion the Presenting Officer gave his comments and the defense representative also
submitted his comments on 03.06.2009. The Inquiry Officer gave his findings on 30.06.2009 interalia holding that all
the charges were proved. The applicant submitted his comments against the report of the inquiry officer on 07.08.2009.
The second show cause notice was given to the applicant on 31.10.2009 which was replied to by the applicant on
18.11.2009 and he also remained present for personal hearing on 21.11.2009. The Disciplinary Authority imposed the
punishment vide order dtd. 05.12.2009. The applicant subsequently preferred a departmental appeal against the said
order on 02.02.2010. The Appellate Authority modified and reduced the punishment from removal of service to
compulsory retirement. The applicant has further stated in the application that the inquiry was not conducted by
following the principles of natural justice and he was having clean and blotless record. The applicant has further stated
that the charges leveled against him were not so serious so as to impose the punishment of compulsory retirement and
therefore prayed for quashing and setting aside the order dtd. 05.12.2009 and 30.09.2010 passed by the Disciplinary
Authority and Appellate Authority as well. The applicant also submitted three documents viz. copy of letter written to
the Assistant Labour Commissioner, Copy of notice issued by ALC and Copy of reply filed by Bank before ALC vide
D-list at Exh.-2.
3.
The hearing notices were issued to the parties in the matter and the Opponent Bank appeared through its
advocate Mr. K.V. Gadhia who filed his appearance on 15.07.2011 vide Exh. 6. Subsequently, the Opponent Bank filed
its written statement vide Exh 7 on 13.09.2011 interalia denying the contentions raised in the Exh.-1 application. The
Bank further narrated the true facts at para-14 of the written statement. In nutshell the Bank stated that the applicant
was working as sub-staff and for his misbehavior, disobedience and irregularities he was issued with show cause notice
dtd. 08.04.2008 and 04.10.2008 which were replied by the applicant on 26.04.2008 and 17.07.2008 respectively. Since
the same were not found to be satisfactory, the applicant was issued with charge sheet dtd. 06.03.2009. The said
charges in brief are as under:-
a)
He did not attend the branch, nor tendered the leave application on 03.03.08. Even after resuming on
04.03.08. He did not submit the application and replied vaguely.
b)
Again he remained unauthorized absent from 07.03.08 to 13.3.08, and upon enquiry by the Branch
management, on him resuming the duties, he started shouting, misbehaved and again left the branch for 1
and half hours on 14.03.08 without permission. He was also served a Memo for the same to which he has
not replied till date.
c)
He was also not sorting the vouchers as per VVR, filing the papers, circulars etc. in time and for that too he
was served with the Office Order No. 05, dated: 15.01.08.
d)
He was also not attending the work related to cash department work for which he was issued an Office
Order no. 07 dated: 07.02.08.
e)
He had also taken a bribe of Rs. 100/- from Mr. G.H. Barot, Senior Advocate and customer of the Branch
for getting lien registered with the Postal Authorities for his NSC Loan.
f)
He had conveyed telephonically that he will get late on 07.04.08 so the Branch had made an alternative
arrangement for collecting the cheques of inward clearing from the service branch. On reaching there, said
person got to know that he had already sent an unauthorized person to collect the same without informing
the branch management. On inquiring about the same, you started shouting, misbehaving and threatening
the Asst. branch Manager and Branch Manager. He did not accept the Memo either and that’s why the
matter was reported to the Circle Office. Mr. B.C. Surti, Chief Manager visited branch and submitted his
report on 06.05.08 wherein he confirmed your misbehavior on the said date.
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2759
g)
He had availed leave on 13.05.08 for which he had not submitted application and that’s why on 13.08.08
the Management served a letter to him to submit the leave applications for leaves availed by him from Jan-
2008 but he failed to do so too.
h)
He had availed leaves on 13.05.08 and 29.05.08 but submitted leave application on 30.05.08 only and that
too for the leave availed on 29.05.08 only. Yet he tampered the Bank record by overwriting by putting his
initials in the respective date columns to show he was present on the said dates.
The Bank further stated that in the inquiry proceedings, the applicant was provided fullest opportunity to defend
himself. He appeared alongwith his defense representative Shri Manubhai M. Parmar. He was provided with the
findings of the inquiry officer on 23.07.2009 and the applicant submitted his reply to the same on 07.08.2009. He was
also given personal hearing before passing the punishment order and the Disciplinary Authority has passed the
reasoned and speaking punishment order dtd. 05.12.2009 whereby a punishment of “Removal from Services” and other
punishments were imposed. The appellate authority in appeal filed by the applicant modified the punishment by taking
lenient view and imposed a single punishment of “Compulsory Retirement with superannuation benefits”. The Bank
has further stated that the punishment is within the four corners of bipartite settlement governing the Award staff
employees and the same is imposed after affording fullest opportunities in compliance of principles of natural justice.
On such grounds, the Bank prayed for rejection of the case.
4.
The Bank has vide D list at Exh.- 9 produced as many as 19 documents related to inquiry proceedings right
from show cause notice till order of the appellate authority etc. The applicant has submitted an affidavit in lieu of Chief
Examination vide Exh-10 and the applicant was cross examined by the Ld. Advocate for the Bank. The applicant has
submitted a pursis dtd. 25.04.2012 and thereby admitted the legality and validity of the inquiry proceedings. The Bank
has also produced three other documents vide D list on 19.06.2014 viz. copy of PF Receipt dtd. 17.03.2011 of Rs.
3,19,153/-, Copy of receipt of Gratuity dtd. 17.03.20111 of Rs. 1,33,031/- and Copy of receipt of arrears of Gratuity
dtd. 12.08.11 of Rs. 66,319.
5.
Considering the pleadings and submissions of the rival parties, the following issues arise for my consideration
and adjudication.
I.
Whether the applicant is entitled to get reinstatement with continuity in service and full back wages as
prayed for?
II.
What order?
Findings
6.
Issue No. I
6.1
On behalf of the Applicant workman it is argued that the workman working with the Opponent bank since
1981 and served with Bank for about 29 years and he was served the charges sheet on 06.03.2009 for the
alleged incident. It is further argued that the applicant workman has not committed any misbehavior or
misconduct as enumerated in the charge sheet. It is argued that the charges leveled against the workman
were not proved and findings of the inquiry officer are against the materials placed in the inquiry and
inquiry was not conducted by following the principles of natural justice. He has argued that looking to the
past clean and blotless service and the applicant having not committed any misconduct as enumerated in
the charge sheet, the punishment inflicted by the Bank Management is to be quashed and set aside and the
applicant is required to be reinstated with full back wages. Alternatively he has submitted that looking to
the charges leveled against him, punishment is very harsh. The charges are not very in grave in nature and
he has requested to modify the punishment on.
6.2
Against that on behalf of the Opponent Bank Management, Ld. Advocate of the Bank has argued that the
applicant workman has committed gross misconducts which include taking bribes, misbehavior,
absenteeism etc. and charges leveled against the workman are proved and after affording fullest opportunity
to meet with each charge to the workman. Since the charges leveled against the workman were proved, the
disciplinary authority imposed different penalty for each charge including Removal from service. Against
that the applicant workman has filed the Appeal before Appellate Authority and the Appellate Authority
has observed that the charges leveled against the workman were proved. Yet the Appellate Authority took
lenient view and modified the punishment order as a single punishment order for all charges as
“Compulsory retirement with superannuation benefits” in terms of Clause 6(C) of memorandum of
Settlement dtd. 10.04.2002. The Bank on these grounds prayed for rejection of the application.
6.3
The applicant workman has filed a pursis dtd: - 25/04/2012 admitting the legality and validity of the
procedure of the inquiry. In that view, on behalf of the management it is submitted that the Hon’ble
Tribunal cannot interfere with the punishment as it is as per the settled law prerogative of management. In
2760
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
support of this the management side has relied upon the judgments of UP State Road Transportation Vs.
Vinodkumar reported in 2008 LLR 121 and in case of Employers Management West Bokaro coliery of
TISCO Ltd. Vs. Concerned workmen, Rampravesh Singh. Reported in 2008 LLR 432. In the aforesaid two
judgments the Hon’ble Apex Court has held that in absence of challenge to the legality & fairness of the
domestic inquiry the court should be reluctant to either interfere with the findings of the inquiry officer or
the punishment awarded by the punishing authority and confirmed the order passed by the punishing
authority dismissing the workman. In the present case also as stated hereinabove the applicant workman
has admitted the legality and validity of the inquiry and as per the ratio laid down in the aforesaid two cases
of Apex Court this Tribunal cannot interfere with the punishment imposed by the concerned Authority.
6.4
I have perused the documents submitted by the Bank management vide Exh.-9 and D-list dated 19/06/2014
as well as pleadings of the parties. It is established that the charges leveled against the workman are proved
and the charges are also in grave in nature and looking to the charges punishment imposed upon the
workman is just, legal and proper and does not require any interference. The punishment imposed upon the
workman is just, legal and proper and does not require any interference by this Tribunal. If we look to the
charge sheet Eight charges are leveled against him. First charge is regarding remained absent without prior
permission. Second charge is for absenteeism and also shouting in the bank and spoiling the atmosphere of
the bank. Third charge is regarding negligence of day to day work and also issued earlier memo to that
effect. Forth Charge is regarding the applicant denying to perform normal duties in Cash Department. In
other words, charge of disobedience of legal orders. Fifth charge is very grave and serious nature in taking
bribe from the customer. Sixth charge includes several misconduct indulged in bank routine work. He sent
outsider for the collection of cheques. For that an effort was made to issue memo but he has refused and
threatened the ABM & BM. Seventh Charge is regarding remaining absent without leave and even not care
to submit the explanation though asked by the Branch Management. Eight charge is regarding tampering
with bank register with the ulterior motive that he remained present on particular date, though he was
absent on the said date.
6.5
During the inquiry proceedings all the charges are proved. All these charges regarding taking bribe, rude
behaviors with the officers, threatening the officers, tampering with the bank records, absenteeism,
insubordination etc. show that the charges are very grave and serious in nature. The concerned workman
has in personal hearing before the Disciplinary Authority on 21.02.2009 regretted for incidents and
requested to forgive him and prayed for one more chance to improve himself and assured that he will
sincerely perform his duties. Moreover the applicant by his deed as well as above letter admitted the guilt.
The Disciplinary Authority inflicted different punishments for each charge including removal of service.
Though the Appellate Authority in appeal has taken lenient view and imposed a single punishment of
Compulsory Retirement with Superannuation benefit. Therefore also even in merits the applicant workman
is not entitled to get any relief as prayed for and hence the application merits rejection.
6.6
So the punishment imposed upon the workman is not required to be interfered as the Bank management has
already taken judicious view and the workman has been paid all the retiral dues and the proof thereof is
produced by the Bank vide D-list dtd; - 19/06/2014. The same proves that the punishment order passed by
the Bank is implemented. The workman has taken the retiral dues without any protest and accepted the
same happily. By this way the punishment order passed by the Bank Management is implemented by the
applicant by his action and hence the present matter does not survive. Therefore on this ground also the
interference of the Tribunal is not required in the punishment order passed by the Management.
7.
Considering the aforesaid facts the applicant workman is not entitled to get any relief as prayed for and
application is not maintainable and the applicant workman has no valid cause of action to raise the dispute.
Accordingly, the I.D. Application is rejected with no order as to cost.

income of plot No.134 but he did not produce any accounts to substantiate his contention. He also admitted that “he had
got record of the Dargah income and that account was kept separately”. But the appellant has not produced either his
own accounts or the account of the Dargah to show as to how the income from plot No. 134 was dealt with. Mr.
Gokhale, however, argued that it was no part of the appellant’s duty to produce the accounts unless he was called upon
to do so and the onus was upon the respondents to prove the case and to show that the Dargah was the owner of plot
No.134. We are unable to accept this argument as correct. Even if the burden of proof does not lie on a party the Court
may draw an adverse inference if he withholds important documents in his possession which can throw light on the
facts at issue. It is not, in our opinion, a sound practice for those desiring to rely upon a certain state of facts to withhold
from the Court the best evidence which is in their possession which could throw light upon the issues in controversy
and to rely upon the abstract doctrine of onus of Proof.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
NVuh dh oS/kkfudrk ds lEcU/k esa ;g vo/kkfjr fd;k gS] “To attract provisions of Section 25-F, the workman claiming
protection under it, has to prove that there exists relationship of employer and employee; that he is a workman within
the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act; the establishment in which he is employed is an industry within the meaning of
the Act and he must have put in not less than one year of continuous service as defined by Section 25- B under the
employer. These conditions are cumulative. If any of these conditions is missing the provisions of Section 25 –F will
not be attracted. To get relief from the court the workman has to establish that he has right to continue in service and
that his service has been terminated without complying with the provisions of Section 25-F of the Act.
34.
The section postulates three conditions to be fulfilled by an employer for getting a valid retrenchment,
namely:-
(i)
one month’s clear notice in writing indicating the reasons for retrenchment or that the workman has
been paid wages for the period of notice in lieu of such notice;
(ii)
payment of retrenchment compensation which shall be equivalent to 15 day’s average pay for every
completed year of continuous service or any part thereof, in excess of six months;
(iii)
a notice to the appropriate Government in the prescribed manner.”

not have made any prayer for (sic submitting) additional evidence in its written statement but, as held by this Court in
Karnataka S.R.T.C. v. Laxmidevamma this did not place a fetter in the powers of the Court/Tribunal to require or
permit parties to lead additional evidence including production of document at any stage of proceedings before they are
concluded. Once the Labour Court came to the finding that the enquiry was non est, the facts of the case warranted that
the Labour Court should have given one opportunity to the respondent to establish the charges before passing an award

By order No. L-12011/40/2013-IR(B-II) dated 12.07.2013 the Central Government in the Ministry of Labour,
New Delhi in exercise of powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) referred this industrial dispute between Sri M.K. Sachan Organizing
Secretary, UP Bank Employees Union, Punjab & Sind Bank, Lucknow and the Chairman & Managing Director/Zonal
Manager, New Delhi/Lucknow for adjudication.
2.
The reference under adjudication is:
“WHETHER THE ACTION OF THE MANAGEMENT OF PUNJAB AND SIND BANK, LUCKNOW IN
IMPOSING THE PUNISHMENT TO SRI B.K.MATHUR VIDE ORDER DATED 31.03.2012 IS LEGAL
AND JUSTIFIED? WHAT RELIEF THE WORKMAN IS ENTITLED TO?”
3.
After being registered referred I.D, notices were issued to both the parties. Representative of the workman
union appeared before my learned predecessor, the then Hon’ble Judge, and authority was also filed on 11.11.2013.
Since then more than 16 dates have been fixed by this court, but no claim statement was filed. In the interest of justice,
notices through registered post were again issued on my directions, yet none appeared for the workman. Learned AR Sri
P.K. Tewari for the management appeared in the court, on several dates.
4.
Since no claim statement was filed despite sufficient opportunity, the court preferred to hear learned AR for the
management Sri P.K. Tewari.
5.
Arguments were advanced by the opposite party. Learned AR Sri PK Tewari submitted that the bank
management always follows the rules, and impugned order referred in the schedule is legal and fully justified.
6.
After having heard the learned AR for the bank management Sri P.K. Tewari, and perusal of the file, it is
inferred that by non-filing of any claim statement by the workman/union, it seems that either the workman is satisfied
with the impugned order or he does not intend to further proceed with the case. In such circumstances, there is no reason
to disagree with the prudent submissions made by learned AR for the opposite party Sri P.K. Tewari. Accordingly, the
workman is not entitled to any relief.
7.
Award accordingly.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
3.
After the receipt of reference Order No.L-42012/91/2014-IR(DU) dated 25.07.2014, issued by the Ministry of
Labour, Government of India, summons was issued to the parties to appear and answer all material questions relating to
the dispute and produce documents to substantiate their respective contentions. On receipt of the summons the
parties entered appearance through counsel and submitted their pleadings.
4.
The contentions in the claim statement filed by the workmen in brief are as follows:
The workmen were selected and appointed as net-menders in IFP – Integrated Fisheries Project (now known as
National Institute of Fisheries Post, Harvest Technology and Training – NIFPHTT) from the year 1977 and 1978. In the
year 1994 their designation was changed from net-mender to net maker. They continued in the same post and same
scale of pay.
5.
They were not promoted to the post of Net Making Superior even after completing 34 years of unblemished
service as net maker. Even though they are eligible for promotion as per the existing rules they continue in the same
post ever since the date of their appointment.
6.
While the workmen were in the IFP, all the seven net makers were transferred to CIFNET – Central Institute of
Fisheries Nautical Engineering and Training along with this post. The transfer was for the best interest of the
management and against the interest of the workmen. The transfer was as per order No.5-16/2002-Fy. Admn.(T5)(1)
dated 19.05.2005 issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. The workmen joined CIFNET in the year 2005. The post of
net making supervisor was also transferred to CIFNET. The post of net making supervisor now available in CIFNET is
the one transferred from IFP. For the net makers transferred from NIFPHTT (formerly IFP), as per the present
recruitment rules, net making supervisor is the next promotional avenue.
7.
When the conciliation proceedings were pending before the Assistant Labour Commissioner(C), Kakkanadu,
the Director of IFP submitted a statement dated 04.10.2013 to the effect that the post of net making supervisor was
also transferred to CIFNET and the post of net making supervisor be filled up by transfer, failing which by direct
recruitment. As per the recruitment rules the workmen who were formerly in IFP are eligible for promotion to the post
of net making supervisor. The incumbent working as net making supervisor retired from service on 30.04.2010. As per
the recruitment rules the senior most net maker ought to have been promoted to that post. The management did not
accept the representation for promotion submitted by the workmen. They informed that steps are being taken for
amending the recruitment rules. Their intention is to deprive the right of workmen from getting the legitimate
promotion. Their action is unjust, unfair and against all accepted norms. The decision of the management to amend the
recruitment rules is detrimental to the interest of the workmen. Their action is in violation of Article 14 of the
Constitution of India.
8.
Therefore the workmen have requested to pass an order directing the management to grant promotion to them
as net making supervisor in accordance with their seniority in the existing vacancy with all benefits thereof and to direct
the management not to amend the recruitment rules.
9.
The contentions in the written statement filed by the management in brief are as follows:
The dispute referred for adjudication is not maintainable in law or on facts. The management is a
subordinate office functioning under the department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries under the Ministry
of Agriculture, Government of India. The management institute is established to meet the statutory manning
requirements of deep sea vessels as provided in the Merchant Shipping Act (1958) and for developing the required
technical manpower for supporting shore establishments and for effective operation of shipping vessel. The
management is not engaged in any industrial or commercial activity. The employees of the management are civilian
employees and they are governed by the Central Civil Services(Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1965. They
will not come under the purview of the Industrial Disputes Act. The workmen who raised the dispute cannot invoke the
provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. They are not workmen as defined under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947.
10.
The workmen involved in this reference raised the dispute in their individual capacity and not as part of
collective bargaining. They do not constitute a substantial number so as to raise an industrial dispute against the
management. Altogether 163 employees are working in CIFNET. The dispute is raised by five workmen only.
11.
The workmen herein initially worked in National Institute of Fisheries Post Harvest Technology & Training
(NIFPHATT), Kochi-16 (formerly known as Integrated Fisheries Project). As per order No.5-16/2002-Fy.(T.5)(III)
dated 19.05.2005 they were transferred to CIFNET. Among them Shri. V. N. Kalesan, Shri. A. T. Antony and Shri. K.
J. Vincent were retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation and the rest of them are even now in
service. Since this reference is pertaining to the claim for promotion, the dispute raised by the workmen who are not in
service cannot be adjudicated by this Court.

12.
Consequent to Order No.5-16/2002-Fy.(T.5)(III) dated 19.05.2005 the post of net makers in NIFPHATT were
transferred to CIFNET and the workmen joined CIFNET in the year 2005. On transfer and reporting at the management
institute the workmen are governed by the recruitment rules as applicable to the management. The vacant posts whether
to be filled by direct recruitment or on promotion is on the basis of the recruitment rules in force for the management
institute.
13.
As per the recruitment rules the promotional channel available to the incumbent is senior net maker in the pay
band-1 of `5200-20200/- plus grade pay `1900/- (pre-revised pay scale of `3050-4590/-). As per the recruitment rules,
for the post of net making supervisor applicable to CIFNET, the post of senior net maker is only a feeder category for
promotion to the post of net making supervisor.
14.
Being the senior most in the feeder grade in the post of net maker at CIFNET, Shri. V. N. Kalesan was
considered and given promotion to the post of senior net maker as per order No.13-45/09-Adm. dated 27.07.2010. He
refused the promotion due to personal reason. Hence his promotion has been cancelled as per office order No.13-
45/2009-Adm. dated 26.08.2010.
15.
All the recruitment rules are scrutinized by the Administrative Ministry, Department of Personnel & Training
and Department of Legal Affairs. The recruitment rule for the post of net making supervisor was framed after
considering the representations of the workmen and after the approval of the competent authorities. There was no unfair
attempt or arbitrary decision on the part of the institute or violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Therefore
the claim of workmen is not sustainable in law. The management has requested to uphold their contentions.
16.
After filing written statement by the management the workmen filed rejoinder reiterating the contentions in the
claim statement.
17.
The learned counsel for the management requested to consider the question regarding the maintainability of the
ID as a preliminary point. Hence that aspect was considered as the preliminary point. As per the order dated 31.03.2016
the preliminary point is answered to the effect that the claim by the persons involved in this reference is not maintainable
under the Industrial Disputes Act. A copy of the preliminary order is attached along with this award. Thereafter the ID
was posted for final hearing and the counsel for both side were heard.
18.
The point arising for consideration is:
“Whether the workmen involved in this reference is entitled to any relief?”
The point:
19.
The dispute referred for adjudication before this Court is:
“Whether the action of the management of ‘central institute of fisheries nautical and engineering training
(CIFNET)’ in denying promotion to shri V. N Kalesan and 5 others by passing their seniority is correct? If not,
what relief the workman are entitled to get?”
20.
The contention of the workmen involved in this reference is that even though they had 34 years of unblemished
service as net maker under the management, they were not promoted to the post of net making supervisor. It is stated
that they continue in the same post ever since the date of their appointment. Originally they were working as net
menders under Integrated Fisheries Project (IFP). In the year 1994 their designation was changed to net maker. While
so they were transferred to CIFNET along with their post as per order No.5-16/2002-Fy. (T.5) (III) dated 19.05.2005.
21.
According to the workmen, as per the recruitment rules they are eligible for promotion to the post of net making
supervisor. The workmen have stated that the management is trying to amend the recruitment rules so as to deny their
scope for promotion. Therefore they have raised this dispute.
22.
The management has contended that the claim by the workman is not maintainable in law and on facts. It is
stated that the management is a subordinate office, functioning under the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying &
Fisheries, under the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India. It is stated that the management is not engaged in
any industrial or commercial activity and that the employees of the management are civilian employees and they are
governed by the CCS(CC&A) Rules, 1965. According to the management the persons who raised this dispute are not
“workmen” as defined under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
23.
The learned counsel for the management submitted that the workmen are civilian employees and they are
governed by the CCS(CC&A) Rules, 1965. It is also submitted that all the recruitment rules are scrutinized by the
Administrative Ministry, Department of Personnel & Training and Department of Legal Affairs. Document No.6,
produced by the management is copy of the notification GSR 8 dated 02.01.2012 published in the Government of India
Gazette dated 07.01.2012. Document No.7, produced by the management is the copy of letter No.8-5/2013-Adm dated
11.12.2013 issued by the Director, CIFNET to the Asst. Labour Commissioner(Central), Kochi with relevant portion of
2776
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
CCS(CCA) Rules, 1965. Those documents reveal that CIFNET is a subordinate office under the Union Ministry of
Agriculture, Department of Animal Husbandry Dairying and Fisheries and that the employees of the Institute are civilian
employees and they are governed by the CCS(CC&A) Rules, 1965. Even as per the admission of the persons involved
in this reference, they are working under the Ministry of Agriculture and that they were transferred from the IFP to
CIFNET and they took charge in CIFNET as per the order No.5-16/2002-Fy. (T.5)(III) dated 19.05.2005.
24.
The essential condition of a person being a workman within the terms of the definition is that he should be
employed to do the work in that industry and that there should be, in other words, an employment of that person by the
employer and that there should be master and servant relationship between them. Unless a person is thus employed
there can be no question of his being a ‘workman’ within the definition of the term as contained in the Act.
25.
The fact that the persons who raised this dispute are working under CIFNET which is under the Ministry of
Agriculture is admitted by them. CIFNET is not a commercial or industrial establishment. Moreover the persons
involved in this reference are governed by the CCS(CC&A) Rules, 1965. In such circumstance the persons involved in
this reference will not come under the purview of Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Therefore they are
not entitled to the relief as per this reference. The point for consideration is answered accordingly.
26.
In view of the finding on the point for consideration an award is passed holding that the workmen involved in
this reference are not entitled to any relief as claimed.
The award will come into force within one month from the date of its publication in the Official Gazette.
Pronounced by me in open Court on this the 30th day of May, 2016.

This case coming up for final hearing on 29.03.2016 and this Tribunal-cum- Labour Court on 31.03.2016
passed the following:
PRELIMINARY ORDER
This is a reference made under Section 10(1)( d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947).
2.
The dispute referred for adjudication before this Tribunal is:
“Whether the action of the management of ‘central institute of fisheries nautical and engineering training
(CIFNET)’ in denying promotion to shri V. N Kalesan and 5 others by passing their seniority is correct? If not,
what relief the workman are entitled to get?”
3.
After the receipt of reference Order No.L-420 12/91/20 14-IR(DU) dated- 25.07.2014, issued by the Ministry of
Labour, Government of India, summons was issued to the parties to appear and answer all material questions relating to

4.
Workman no.1 filed claim statement on his behalf and on behalf of the other five workmen. The contentions in
the claim statement filed by the workmen in brief are as follows :
The workmen were not promoted to the post of Net Making Superior even after completing 34 years of
unblemished service as net maker. Even though they are eligible for promotion as per the existing rules they continue in
the same post ever since the date of their appointment.
5.
The workmen were selected and appointed as net-menders in IFP (now known as National Institute of Fisheries
Post, Harvest Technology and Training - NIFPHTT) from 1977 and 1978 onwards. In the year 1994 their designation
was changed from net-mender to net maker. They continued in the same post and same scale of pay.
6.
While the workmen were in the IFP, all the seven net makers were transferred to CIFNET along with this post.
The transfer was for the best interest of the management and against the interest of the workmen. The transfer was as per
order No.5-16/2002-Fy. Admn.(T5)(l) dated 19.05.2005 issued by the Ministry of Agriculture. The workmen joined
CIFNET in the year 2005. The post net making supervisor was also transferred to CIFNET. The post of net making
supervisor now available in CIFNET is the one transferred from IFP. For the net makers transferred from NIFPHTT
(formerly IFP), as per the present recruitment rules, net making supervisor is the next promotional avenue.
7.
When the conciliation proceedings were pending before the Assistant Labour Commissioner (C), Kakkanadu,
the Director of IFP submitted a statement dated 04.10.2013 to the effect that the post of net making supervisor was also
transferred to CIFNET and the post of net making supervisor be filled up by transfer, failing which by direct recruitment.
As per the recruitment rules the workmen who were formerly in IFP are eligible for promotion to the post of net making
supervisor. The incumbent working as net making supervisor retired from service on 30.04.2010. As per the recruitment
rules the senior most net maker ought to have been promoted to that post. The management did not accept the
representation for promotion submitted by the workmen. They informed that steps are being taken for amending the
recruitment rules. Their intention is to deprive the right of workmen from getting the legitimate promotion. Their action
is unjust, unfair and against all accepted norms. The decision of the management to amend the recruitment rules is
detrimental to the interest of the workmen. Their action is violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India.
8.
The workmen have requested to pass an order directing the management to grant promotion to them as net
making supervisor in accordance with their seniority in the existing vacancy with all benefits thereof and to direct them
not to amend the recruitment rules.
9.
The contentions in the written statement filed by the management in brief are as follows:
The dispute referred for adjudication is not maintainable either in law or on facts. The management is a
subordinate office functioning under th e department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries under the
Ministry of Agrilculture, Government of India. The management institute is established to meet the statutory
manning requirements of deep sea vessels as provided in the Merchant Shipping Act (1958) and for developing
the required technical manpower for supporting shore establishments and for effective operation of shipping
vessel. The management is not engaged in any industrial or commercial activity. The employees of the
management are civilian employees and they are governed by the CCS(CCA) Rule, 1965. They will not come
under the purview of the Industrial Disputes Act. The workmen who raised the dispute cannot invoke the
provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. They are not workmen as defined under Section 2(s) of the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947.
10.
The workmen involved in this reference raised the dispute in their individual capacity and not as part of
collective bargaining. The workmen involved in this reference will not constitute a substantial number so as to raise an
industrial dispute against the management. 163 employees are working in CIFNET. The present dispute is raised by five
workmen.
11.
The workmen herein initially worked in National Institute of Fisheries Post Harvest Technology & Training
(NIFPHA TT), Kochi-16 (formerly known as Integrated Fisheries Project). As per order No.5-16/2002-Fy.(T.5)(III)
dated 19.05.2005 they were transferred to CIFNET. Among them Shri. V. N. Kalesan, Shri. A. T. Antony and Shri. K. J.
Vincent were retired from service on attaining the age of superannuation and the rest of them are even now in service.
Since this reference is pertaining to the claim for promotion, the dispute raised by the workmen who are not in service
cannot be adjudicated by this Court.
12.
Consequent to Order No.5-16/2002-Fy.(T.5)(III) dated 19.05.2005 the post of net makers in NIFPHATT were
transferred to CIFNET and the workmen joined CIFNET in the year 2005. On transfer and reporting at the management
institute the workmen are governed by the recruitment rules as applicable to the management. The vacant posts whether
to be filled by direct recruitment or on promotion is on the basis of the recruitment rules in force for the management
institute.
13.
As per the recruitment rules the promotional channel available to the incumbent is senior net maker in the pay
band-1 of `5200-20200/- plus grade pay `1900/- (pre-revised pay scale of `3050-4590/-). As per the recruitment rules,
2778
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
for the post of net making supervisor applicable to CIFNET, the post of senior net maker is only a feeder category for
promotion to the post of net making supervisor.
14.
Being the senior most in the feeder grade the post of net maker at CIFNET, Shri. V. N. Kalesan was considered
and given promotion to the post of senior net maker as per order No. 13-45/09-Adm. dated 27.07.2010. He refused the
promotion due to personal reason. Hence his promotion has been cancelled as per office order No. 13-45/2009-Adm.
dated 26.08.2010.
15.
All the recruitment rules are scrutinized by the Administrative Ministry, Department of Personnel & Training
and Department of Legal Affairs. The recruitment rules for the post of net making supervisor was framed after
considering the representations of the workmen and after the approval of the competent authorities. There was no unfair
attempt or arbitrary decision on the part of the institute or violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Therefore
the claim of the workmen is not sustainable in law. The management has requested to uphold their contentions.
16.
After filing written statement by the management the workmen filed rejoinder reiterating the contentions in the
claim statement.
17.
As requested by the learned counsel for the management the question regarding the maintainability of this ID
was considered as the preliminary point. Heard the counsel for both side on this aspect.
18.
The point for consideration is:
“Whether the claim by the workmen in this ID is maintainable in law?”
The point:
19.
The dispute referred for adjudication before this Court is :
“Whether the action of the management of ‘central institute of fisheries nautical and engineering training
(CIFNET)’ in denying promotion to Shri V.N. Kalesan and 5 others by passing their seniority is correct? If not,
what relief the workman are entitled to get?”
20.
The contention of the workmen involved in this reference is that even though they had 34 years of unblemished
service as net maker under the management, they were not promoted to the post of net making supervisor. It is stated
that they continue in the same post ever since the date of their appointment, Originally they were working as net
menders under Integrated Fisheries Project (IFP). In the year 1994 their designation was changed to net maker. While so
they were transferred to CIFNET along with their post as per order No.5-16/2002-Fy. (T.5) (III) dated 19.05.2005.
21.
According to the workmen, as per the recruitment rules they are eligible for promotion to the post of net making
supervisor. The workmen have stated that they were denied the opportunity for promotion. It is stated that the
management is trying to amend the recruitment rules so as to deny their promotional avenue. Therefore they have raised
this dispute.
22.
The management has contended that the claim by the workman is not maintainable in law and on facts. It is
stated that the management is a subordinate office, functioning under the Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying &
Fisheries, under the Ministry of Agriculture, Government of India. It is further stated that the management is not
engaged in any industrial or commercial activity and that the employees of the management are civilian employees and
they are governed by the CCS(CCA) Rules, 1965. According to the management the persons who raised this dispute will
not come under the purview of the Industrial Disputes Act. They have stated that the persons involved in this reference
are not “workmen” as defined under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
23.
The learned counsel for the management submitted that the workmen are civilian employees and they are
governed by the CCS(CCA) Rules, 1965. It is also submitted that all the recruitment rules are scrutinized by the
Administrative Ministry, Department of Personnel & Training and Department of Legal Affairs. Document Nos.6 and 7
produced by the management will reveal this aspect. Even as per the admission of the workmen they are working under
the Ministry of Agriculture. They were transferred from the IFP to CIFNBT and they took charge at CIFNET as per the
order No.5-16/2002-Fy. (T.5)(III) dated 19.05.2005
24.
The essential condition of a person being a workman within the terms of the definition is that he should be
employed to do the work in that industry and that there should be, in other words, an employment of that person by the
employer and that there should be master and servant relationship between them. Unless a person is thus employed there
can be no question of his being a ‘workman’ within the definition of the term as contained in the Act.
25.
The fact that the persons who raised this dispute are working under CIFNET which is under the Ministry of
Agriculture is admitted by them. CIFNET is not a commercial or industrial establishment. Moreover the persons
involved in this reference are governed by the CCS(CCA) Rules, 1965. In such circumstance the persons involved in this
reference will not come under the purview of Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Hence the claim put
forward by the persons involved in this reference is not sustainable in law.

Therefore the point for consideration is answered to the effect that the claim by the persons involved in this
reference is not maintainable under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
maintaining proper record of his attendance. Workman had requested time and again for his appointment order, payment
order, payment voucher, those documents were not supplied to him. All those documents are in possession of 2nd party.
Workman submits that he is covered as employee under section 25 B of ID Act as he completed more than 2409 days
working days during each of the year. His services are terminated without notice. Retrenchment compensation was not
paid to him. Termination of his service is in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. 2nd party has not followed principles of
last come first go, other junior employees were retained in service after his termination. Thereby 2nd party violated
Section 25-G,H of ID Act.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. 2nd party reiterates that workman was not
appointed following recruitment rules of the Bank. Workman might have offered his services for few hours as per
pertaining contingencies. He was not continuously working. Workman was not appointed against sanctioned vacant post.
Claim of workman is allowed, it would amount to back door entry in Bank service. Name of workman was not
sponsored through Employment Exchange. He was not interviewed. Provisions of ID Act are not applicable to workman.
Appointment order was not issued to the workman. It is denied that his appointment was not by way of stop gap
arrangement . 2nd party denies that workman had requested documents about his attendance, payment vouchers any such
application was not submitted by workman. It is denied that workman was suddenly retrenched to engage any blue
eyed person. It is denied that after termination of workman, other junior persons were retained in service. On such
contentions, 2nd party prays that reference be answered in its favour.
4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-

Satpura Gramin Bank in terminating the
services of Shri Vidya Bhushan Tiwari w.e.f.
27-10-07 is legal and justified?
Both parties failed to participate in reference
proceeding, reference could not be decided in merit.

Management failed to adduce any evidence. Evidence of management is closed on 1-3-2016.
7.
As both parties failed to effectively participate in reference proceeding, no evidence is adduced by parties,
dispute under reference could not be decided on merit. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.1.
8.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)

workman Exhibit W-1 to W-5 admitted by the management of 2nd party. Exhibit W-1 is copy of application submitted
to ALC, Jabalpur, Exhibit W-2 is copy of failure report submitted by ALC, W-3 is copy of order of reference. W-4 is
copy of order passed in Writ Petition filed by workman. W-5 is copy of order of reference. Similar documents are filed
by management of 2nd party at Exhibit M-1, M-3 & M-4. Exhibit M-2 is copy of Dainik Bhaskar relating to
regularization of 308 Railway casual labours.
8.
Workman has not adduced evidence about his working days. Copy of MRCL card produced by workman is not
admitted by management.
9.
Management filed affidavit of witness Shri V.K.Gumasta supporting contentions of management that workman
has not completed 240 days continuous service. His evidence remained unchallenged. Workman has not adduced
evidence that he completed 240 days continuous service within 12 calendar months prior to his termination on 18-11-86.
Therefore termination of workman in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act is not established.
10.
Besides above, Shri A.K.Shashi for management submits that reference made after long lapse of time after 21
years is not tenable. The ratio relied in case of Assistant Executive Engineer, Karnataka versus Shivalinga reported in
LLJ-2002-457 supports the arguments advanced by Shri A.K.Shashi. ratio held in case Nedungadi Bank Ltd versus
K.P.Madhavankutty reported in AIR-2000-SC-839 is also clear that complaint made after 7 year giving rise to the
Industrial dispute or that industrial dispute could be apprehended held bad on the ground of delay.
11.
Considering workman had not adduced evidence about his working days, the dispute is referred after 21 years
is not tenable. I record my finding in Point No.1 in Affirmative.
12.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1) The action of the management of DRM, West Central Railway, Jabalpur in terminating the services of Shri
Ram Lal S/o Shri Dallu Yadav, Ex-MRCL w.e.f. 18-11-86 is proper and legal.
(2) Workman is not entitled to any relief.

AWARD
Passed on this 18th day of February 2016
1.
As per letter dated 12-3-99 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-
12012/101/98-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of State Bank of Indore (merged as SBI) in not granting special duty
leave to Shri Ram Nagwanshi, General Secretary of Nationalised Bank Employees Association is justified? If
not, to what relief the concerned workman is entitled to?”
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party submitted statement of claim at Page 7/1
to 7/2. Case of Ist party workman is that Daily Wage Bank Employees Union and Nationalised Bank Employees Union
are registered under Trade Union Act, 1926 bearing No. 5255, 5244 respectively. Ist party is Secretary of both of the
Union. Being General Secretary of the Union, he was representing employees in the proceedings. He was working as
Assistant Cashier in Raj Mohalla Branch Indore. He was working with devotion without any grievances against him. In
proceedings he was representing the employees in the court. On that account, he was permitted to attend duties late by
about 1 ½hour. On 18-7-97, he submitted proceeding before ALC, Bhopal bearing No. 62/97. The dispute has been
referred.
3.
Ist party submits that out of malafide, he was dismissed from service without obtaining permission which is
punishable under Section 33-A of ID Act. The complaint is filed for violation of Section 33 of ID Act. Workman prays
for his reinstatement with consequential benefits.
4.
2nd party submitted application for dismissal of the proceeding. That Ist party is dismissed from service for
grave misconduct on 5-12-2001. He is not in employment of the Bank, cannot represent the employees. Written
Statement is filed by management at Page 14/1 to 14/5 opposing relief claimed by Ist party. 2nd party submits that it is
registered under SBI(Subsidiary Company’s )Regulation Act 1959. It carries banking business. It is governed by the
circulars issued by RBI and SBI. The service conditions of sub staff are governed by bipartite settlement dated 19-10-66
approved by Government of India. Union covered by said settlement are eligible for leave for attending conference and
meetings. Shri R.Nagwanshi raised dispute claiming to be Secretary of the Union and denial of the leave. As he have
been dismissed from service on 5- 12-2001, he is not in banking service, Shri Ram Nagwanshi is not concerned with All
India Bank Employees Association, All India Bank Employees Federation or any other Union affiliated to such Union.
The bipartite settlement doesnot provide for allowing leave to nationalized bank employees association. While Shri
Nagwanshi working as General Secretary of Nationalised Bank and exploited the labours, he was expelled from said
Employees Association. Shri Nagwanshi formed other employees federation/ Union after his dismissal from service. He
had formed Daily Wage Employees Union etc. the employees working in the Bank are not member of said Union. It is
reiterated that as per Bipartite Settlement, Shri R.Nagwanshi is not entitled for benefit of leave. That Shri R.Nagwanshi
is not office bearer of All India Bank Federation. He is not entitled to such leave. On such ground, 2nd party prays that
claim of Ist party deserves to be rejected.
5.
Ist party submitted rejoinder reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.
6.
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:-
2784
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
(i) Whether the action of the management of State
Bank of Indore (merged as SBI) in not
granting special duty leave to Shri Ram
Nagwanshi,
General
Secretary
of
Nationalised Bank Employees Association is
justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
7. Term of reference pertains to denial of special duty leave to Shri Ram Nagwanshi General Secretary of
Nationalised Bank Employees Association. However in his statement of claim, Ist party workman is praying
punishment under Section 33 & allow him to represent in the proceeding till its final adjudication.
8. Workman filed affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit, Ist party has stated that State Bank of Indore is merged
in State Bank of India. On 17-2-78, he was working as Asstt. Cashier, Godown Keeper, he was appointed under SC ST
Reservation. That State Bank of Indore Employees Congress was registered Union having No. 3782. He was General
Secretary of said Union. He was also Dy.General Secretary of SC ST Employees Welfare Council Registration No.
8650. He was representing employees in conciliation proceeding at CGIT, Jabalpur camp Indore. He was permitted to
attend duties late. That 2nd party violated Section 33-A of ID Act for terminating his services on 1-12-2001. Affidavit of
workman is not consistent with his statement of claim neither it is commuted with the terms of reference. In his cross-
examination, workman says he was General Secretary of State Bank of Indore Employees Congress and State Bank of
Indore SC ST Employees Welfare Council. SC ST Welfare council was registered in social welfare office Bhopal. Both
the Unions were recognized. He was not expelled from those Unions. He has not produced documents about both the
above Union were recognized. He claims ignorance about provisions under Bipartite Settlement in 1966 pertaining to
special leave. He had claimed special leave for participating in conciliation proceeding before ALC, Bhopal. He had
produced documents in that regard. He has not produced documents in that he was General Secretary of both of above
Unions. The term of reference pertains to denial of special leave to Ist party as Secretary of Nationalised Bank
Employees Association whereas his evidence is devoted to State Bank of Indore Employees Congress and SC ST
Employees Welfare Association.
9. The evidence of management’s witness Shri Deepak Kothari is devoted on point that Shri Ram Nagwanshi is
not in service of the Bank. He doesnot require any leave for attending court cases. Shri Ram Nagwanshi has not pointed
out any provision under which he is entitled to special leave for attending conciliation proceeding or court cases. He has
not given details of the cases in respect of which he applied for special leave. The affidavit of management’s witness is
further devoted on the point that service conditions of award staff and sub staff are covered by Ist Bipartite Settlement
dated 19-10-66. As per said settlement, the office bearer of All India Bank Employees Association and All India Bank
Employees Federation are entitled to claim special leave. From his evidence Exhibit M-1 bipartite settlement of 1966 is
admitted. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says list of Banks to which Exhibit M-1 applied is not given
in Exhibit M-1. M-1 applies to all nationalized banks. During 1994 to 1996, he was not working in Rajmohalla branch
Indore neither he was working in the Regional office. He denied letters of various dates shown to him. Bipartite
settlement Exhibit M-1 para 13.39 deals with special leave. It provides –
“Special leave will be allowed to certain employees for attending meetings and conferences of trade unions of
bank employees as provided below:-
(a)
Office bearers of All India Bank Employees Association/ All India Bank Employees Federation- upto
21 days in a calendar year.
(b)
Central Committee members of the All India Bank Employees Association/ All India Bank Employees
Federation- upto 17 days in a calendar year.

2785
(c)
Office bearers of the Executive Committee of the State or Regional Organisation affiliated to All India Bank
Employees Association/ All India Bank Employees Federation – upto 7 days in a calendar year.
10. The pleadings and evidence of Ist party are not complying above condition. There is no evidence that Ist
party was General Secretary or office bearer of All India Bank Employees Association/ All India Bank Employees
Federation. Therefore claim of workman for special leave is not established. For above reasons, I record my finding in
Point No. 1 in Affirmative.
11. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management of State Bank of Indore (merged as SBI) in not granting special duty
leave to Shri Ram Nagwanshi, General Secretary of Nationalised Bank Employees Association is
proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

Karmchari Sangathan submitted statement of claim on behalf of workman from page 2 to 4. Claim of Ist party is that he
was engaged as peon by Branch Manager Shri Vishwajit Das from 16-3-06. He worked 8 hours in a day. He
continuously worked more than 240 days during each of the year till termination of his service on 30-10-2010. His
services were terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. Workman was paid wages
Rs. 50/- per day which were increased to Rs.60/-, 80/- & 100/- per day. In addition he was paid Rs. 300/- for cleaning

Goyal Nagar branch for cleaning of ATM and outer space of the branch premises. Workman was paid daily wages

4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the demand of the Union, Dainik Vetan
Bhogi Bank Karamchari Sangathan for
making payment of difference of wages as
per wages paid to permanent peon for the
period from 16-3-06 to 30-10-2010 to Shri
Sachin Lakhmiya is legal and justified?
In Negative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
5.
The term of reference pertains to the demand for difference of salary as per the bipartite settlement.
Management of 2nd party denied claim. Workman as filed affidavit of his evidence. However he has not appeared for his
cross-examination, his evidence cannot be considered.
6.
Management’s witness Shri Himansh Joshi filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions of
management in Written Statement. That as Ist party workman was engaged temporarily/ daily wage basis, he is not
entitled to difference of salary as per bipartite settlement. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he was
not posted in Goyal Nagar during 2006 to 2010. Before filing affidavit of evidence, he has not seen document of the
Bank. He denied documents regarding payment of difference of salary by other Banks. The policy/ rules about payment
of salary is not produced.
7.
Shri Ram Nagwanshi Union Representative after argument produced copy of Ist Bipartite Settlement. Para 20.7
refers to Para 21.20 of the Desai Award. Temporary employee is defined as employee engaged temporarily during
absence of regular employee. Para 20.7 of Ist Bipartite settlement is silent about engagement of daily wage employees.
Para 4.5 of Ist bipartite settlement refers to Para 5.191 of Desai Award. Said para deals with the part time employees are
entitled to 1/3rd basic pay, special allowance, HRA and other allowances of the regular employees provided their
working hours donot exceed 12 hours in a week. Said para also doesnot deal with payment of wages to persons engaged
on daily wages. The copies of 9th Bipartite settlement, providing pay scales to clerks, and sub staff etc. are silent about
payment of salary/ wages to persons engaged on daily wages. The claim of Ist party for difference of wages as per
bipartite settlement is not supported.

8.
Incidentally I may also refer to ratio relied by Shri Praveen Chaturvedi in Case of Mahboob Deepak versus
Nagar Panchayat, Gajraula and another reported in 2008(1)SCC-575, BSNL versus Mansingh reported in
2012(132)FLR500 & State of Rajasthan and others versus Dayalal and others reported in 2011(2)SCC-429. The ratio
held in the case cannot be applied to case at hand, claim for difference of wages cannot be accepted therefore I record
my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.
9.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The demand of Union for making payment of difference of wages as per wages paid to permanent
peon for the period from 16-3-06 to 30-10-2010 to Shri Sachin Lakhmiya is not proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. General Secretary, Dainik Vetan Bhogi Bank
Karmchari Sangathan submitted statement of claim on behalf of workman. Claim of Ist party is that he was engaged on
daily wages by Branch Manager Indore from 16-3-06. Workman was working in the Bank from opening till its closing.
Workman was paid wages Rs. 50/- per day which were increased to Rs.60/-, 80/- & 100/- per day. In addition he was
paid Rs. 300/- for ATM, 350/- for cleaning of toilets etc. He was working for 8 hours every day. His services were
orally terminated on 30-10-10. Notice of termination was not issued. Retrenchment Compensation was not paid to him.
His services are terminated in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. On such ground, workman prays for his
reinstatement with backwages.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement on 9-9-2014 opposing claim of Ist party workman. 2nd party submits that it is
established under SBI Act,1985. The State Bank of Indore is merged in State Bank of India in the year 2010. As per
notification of merger, the regular employees were absorbed in service. Workman was not appointed by the Bank
following recruitment process. Workman was intermittently engaged as per exigencies. He not completed 240 days
continuous service. The contention of workman that he was not wages as per the bipartite settlement has been denied.
That Section 25 B of ID Act doesnot confer permanency to the workman quoting ratio held in various cases. 2nd party
submits that workman is not entitled to regularization. He not completed 240 days continuous service. He is not entitled
to any relief.
4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the management of State
Bank of India in terminating the services of Shri
Sachin Lakhmiya w.e.f. 1-11-2010 is legal and
justified?
In Negative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
As per final order
REASONS
5.
The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of service of Ist party workman term of reference
doesnot include denial of regularization . Workman did not adduce any evidence in support of his claim.
6.
Management’s witness Shri Himanshu Joshi filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions of
management that State Bank of Indore is acquired by State Bank of India as per the notification dated 20-7-2010. The
conditions No. 7/8 of the requisite are reproduced contending that regular employees were absorbed in service. The daily
wage employees were not entitled for absorption. Workman had not completed 240 days continuous service.
Termination of his service in violation of Section 25-F is denied. Workman was intermittently engaged on daily wages
for cleaning the Bank premises around 280 sq.ft. workman was engaged whenever work was available. Payment of
bonus has been denied. In his cross-examination, management’s witness admitted document Exhibit W-1, W-2. The
document Exhibit W-1 is copy of affidavit filed before ALC, Bhopal mentioning the chart of working days. Workman in
December 2007 was paid Rs. 300 in 2008-09, he worked for 12 months and was paid Rs. 1200/- per month. In 2010, the
workman was paid Rs.100/- per day from January to October for 6 days in a week. Chart of working days of workman is
also enclosed for the year 2007 and amount paid to them for cleaning work. In document Exhibit W-2, statement of
Bank account for the period 5-5-2010 to 4-1-2010 the amount paid to workman are shown. Though workman has not
entered in witness box, above documents are clear that workman was continuously working from December 2007 till
4-11-2010. He worked more than 240 days during each of the year. His services are terminated without notice,
retrenchment compensation was not paid to workman. The termination of the services of Ist party workman is illegal for
violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.
7.
Point No. 2- In view of my finding in Point No.1, workman is terminated without complying Section 25-F of
ID Act, question is whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages. Though the workman has pleaded
about denial of regularization in service, the contention of workman pertaining to regularization are beyond the terms of
reference and cannot be considered. Shri Praveen Chaturvedi appearing for 2nd party relies on ratio held in
Case of Mahboob Deepak versus Nagar Panchayat, Gajraula and another reported in 2008(1)SCC-575. Ratio
held in the case pertains to daily wager having completed 240 days of continuous service in a year. Services
terminated on grounds of misconduct for financial irregularities. Their Lordship had further held that daily
wager adhoc employees. The respondent local authority cannot make appointment without following provisions
of recruitment rules. Any appointment made in violation of the rules is also constitutional scheme of equality.
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2789
In present case, the workman was not appointed following recruitment rules. He was engaged as per rules. His services
were terminated violating Section 25-F of ID Act. Workman cannot be regularized on the terms of reference are also
silent.
In case between BSNL versus Mansingh reported in 2012(132)FLR500. Their Lordship dealing with Section
25-F of ID Act termination without notice and retrenchment compensation the award for reinstatement was
modified for compensation Rs. 2 Lakhs holding that daily wager doesnot hold post and not permanent
employee.
In case between State of Rajasthan and others versus Dayalal and others reported in 2011(2)SCC-429. Their
Lordship held part time employees are not entitled to regularization as they are not working against any

8. As the workman was engaged on daily wages, he was continuously working from 16-3-06 to 30-10-10,

9. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is not proper and legal.
(2)
2nd party is directed to pay compensation Rs.60,000/-to the workman.
Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In

AWARD
Passed on this 17th day of February 2016
1.
As per letter dated 5-4-2011 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-12012/38/2010-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the demand of Shri Vijay Kumar Saini, Ex-Messenger cum Canteen Boy, State Bank of India,
Madhatal Branch, Jabalpur for his regularization w.e.f. the date of his termination i.e. 28-6-09 with all
consequential benefits, is legal and justified? To what relief, the workman is entitled?”
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim on
21-12-11. Case of Ist party workman is that he was engaged on daily wages as permanent peon at Marhatal branch,
Jabalpur. In April 1982, he was working in the Bank from opening till time of closing. He was doing work of
distribution of dak, supplying drinking water, taking vouchers to the different tables. He was working for 8 hours every
day. He was paid Rs.250/- per day. For distribution of dak in the name of Rikshaw charges and other bills through petty
cash. The amount was deposited in his Saving Bank Account. He completed more than 240 days continuous service. He
was entrusted work of carrying cash from post office. On 17-11-90, he was called for interview. After his successful
interview, he was engaged for the work of messenger. He claimed bonus and difference of wages therefore his services
were terminated from 28-6-09 without notice. He was not paid retrenchment compensation, termination of his service is
illegal. He is covered as employee under Section 25 B of ID Act. His services are terminated in violation of Section 25-F
of ID Act. Bonus under Section 8 of payment of Bonus Act was not paid. He was not paid salary as per 4 to 9
settlements. On such ground, Ist party workman prays for his reinstatement with consequential benefits.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement on 3-12-2012 opposing claim of Ist party workman. 2nd party submits that Ist
party was engaged as canteen boy at Marhatal branch during 980 to 2009. Local Implementation Committee of the Staff
voucher runs the canteen. Branch Manager and Union Representative are the President, Secretary of said committee. The
Bank provide subsidy for running canteen. The Bank has no control over the canteen boy. Implementation Committee
engaged canteen boy and pay wages. Bank is under no obligation to run the canteen. The work taken from Ist party was
not full time and continuous. Occasionally workman was asked to deliver letter etc. he was reimbursed expenses
incurred by working. It cannot be said workman was engaged by the Bank on full time basis. Engagement in the branch
cannot be termed as casual labour. Workman had not completed 240 days continuous service. That workman is not
entitled to absorption in service as per ratio held in case of Umadevi. Workman is not entitled for regularization 2nd
party reiterates that workman was occasionally assigned work of delivery operators etc. he has not completed 240 days
continuous service in the Bank. He was not in service of the Bank. Termination of his services from 28-6-09 by Bank is
denied. Termination in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act is denied. Non-payment of bonus is also denied.
4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the demand of Shri Vijay Kumar Saini,
Ex-Messenger cum Canteen Boy, State Bank of
India,
Madhatal
Branch,
Jabalpur
for
his
regularization w.e.f. the date of his termination i.e.
28-6-09 with all consequential benefits, is legal and
justified?
Termination of service of workman is illegal.
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
As per final order.
REASONS
5.
Terms of reference pertains to regularization of workman from date of his termination 28-6-09. The terms of
reference needs to be liberally constitute that it pertains to legality of termination and denial of regularization of
workman.
2792
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
6.
Ist party workman filed affidavit of his evidence, in his affidavit, workman says from April 1982, he was
engaged as peon and canteen boy. Work of messenger was taken from him. He was paid wages from petty cash. From
30-5-96 to 20-6-09, he was working as messenger, he was distributing dak. Wages were deposited in his Saving Bank
Account. Rickshaw charges were deposited in his account. Till 23-8-88, he worked for 258 days. He was called for
interview on 17-11-90 along with documents. In his cross-examination, workman was unable to tell his date of birth. He
born in 1966. He was getting Rs. 1200 per month from canteen. From 1982 to 2009, he was working in canteen. Initially
he was paid Rs. 700 per month. It was increased to Rs. 1200 per month. Amount was paid by cheque. Workman was
unable to tell whether in Para-3 of his statement of claim, he was paid Rs. 250/- was correctly written. Workman admits
contents of para-6 of his statement is correct. Amount paid from canteen in 1986 was deposited in his account. He was
working in Bank on daily wages Rs. 50/- during 1986 to 2009, he was paid wages Rs. 50/- per day. Why it is not pleaded
in his statement of claim is not explained by him. On 238-6-09, Branch Manager refused to allow him on work. He
denies that for miscellaneous Bank work, he was paid extra charges. He denies that from 28-6-09, he was denied work in
canteen.
7.
Management’s witness Shri Vivek Kumar Pande filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions in
Written Statement that Ist party workman was engaged as canteen boy. The canteen was managed by Local
Implementation Committee. Occasionally workman was asked to deliver letters etc. he was reimbursed expenses
incurred by him. Workman not worked for 240 days in any of the year. In his cross-examination, management witness
says he was not posted in Marhatal branch, Jabalpur during the period in question. From 2013, he was working in said
branch. Workman was engaged by Local Implementation Committee. Bank has no concern with it. Bank gives subsidy
for canteen. The policy about engagement of canteen boy is not produced on record. Witness of management claims
ignorance at what rate canteen boy was paid. Canteen boy was supplying drinking water, tea. He claims ignorance about
actual working of workman prior to his posting in branch. Management’s witness was unable to tell whether workman
was called for interview in 1990. However he admitted letter Exhibit W-3. Workman was not paid bonus. He was not
terminated by the Bank.
8.
Large number of documents produced by workman are admitted by 2nd party. Exhibit W-1 is certificate issued
by Branch Manager Marhatal that during 1982 to 1987, Ist party workman worked for 250 days. In Exhibit W-2,
marksheet of 8th standard of workman was forwarded for appropriate action. Exhibit W-3 shows that workman was
called for interview on 17-11-90. In Exhibit W-4 workman was recommended for interview and absorption workman is
shown as canteen boy. The documents Exhibit W-4 produced by workman himself shows that he was a canteen boy and
protected employee is not consistent with Exhibit W-1. A canteen boy cannot be said casual or temporary employee of
the Bank therefore the claim for regularization of workman as per notice Exhibit W-14 could not be justified. The
documents Exhibit W-5 to W-10 shows workman was authorized to collect adhesive stamps and receive cash payments
in the year 2008, 2009. Certainly it is not a work of canteen, document Exhibit W-36 to W-48 extract of Bank Account
shows payments made to workman in the year 2006 to 2010. The documents Exhibit W-13 to W-25 shows payment of
Rikshaw charges to workman during the year 2003, 2005 & 2006 for various work like challans, changing cassettes,
distribution of dak etc. Certainly all those work are not connected with canteen activities. In Exhibit W- 26 also,
payment of Rickshaw charges is sham for the month April 09. In Exhibit W-28 to W-32, payments of amount is shown
during the period 1996 to 2005. Those payments includes kerosene bill, service charges, rickshaw charges etc. The
payments are certainly connected with the work of the Bank. The payment made in all those documents cannot be said
related to the canteen activities. In Exhibit W-15, reply submitted before ALC, management has admitted that services
of workman were utilized for distribution of dak, mail etc. Exhibit W-52, 53 are copies of reply filed before ALC
denying claim of workman. Evidence of workman that he was doing work of messenger is corroborated by the
documentary evidence discussed above. Exhibit W-59 also corroborates his evidence that he was doing work of
distribution of dak. In Exhibit W-4 workman was shown as canteen boy working during the period 1982 to 1987.
Therefore the claim for regularization of workman as per the settlement or advertisement Exhibit W-49 cannot be
accepted.
9.
The evidence of workman corroborated by documents is clear that workman was working with the Bank from
1982 to 2009. He completed more than 240 days continuous service preceding year of his termination 20-6-09.
Workman was not paid retrenchment compensation. Termination notice was not issued to him. Therefore termination of
workman is illegal for violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Therefore I record my finding in Point No.1 that termination
of service of workman is illegal for violation of Section 25-F of ID Act but he is not entitled to any relief.
10.
Point No. 2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 termination of workman is illegal for violation of Section 25-
F of ID Act, question arises whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages. The evidence of workman
and documents produced on record shows workman was working in the canteen run by Local Implementation
Committee. His services were also utilized in the Bank as messenger. Workman was paid Rickshaw charges and other
charges whenever he was going for the bank work. Workman was not exclusively doing the work of canteen boy. Both
the work were extracted from him. Considering workman was engaged for long period since 1982 to June 2009 but he
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2793
was not selected following recruitment process, compensation Rs. 2,50,000 would be reasonable. Accordingly I record
my finding in Point No. 2.
11.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The termination of Ist party workman is illegal for violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Workman is
not entitled for regularization.\
(2)
Management is directed to pay compensation Rs. 2,50,000/- to the workman.
Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In
case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Statement of claim is submitted by workman
through General Secretary, Daily Wages Employees Union on 21-4-2012. Case of Ist party workman is that work of
distribution of dak was extracted from him by Branch Manager during period 10-11-05 to 4-10-07. He was paid
Rikshaw charges but he was not paid pay/ wages for above said work. That during the period 10-11-05 to 4-10-07,
workman was attending work of cleaning of cheques, treasury work, distribution of correspondence. He was paid
Rikshaw charges Rs. 30,40 50 per day dependent on the distance. He was not paid pay/ wages for said work. Ist party
workman further submits that he was paid bonus but pay/ wages were not paid to him. Not paying wages/ pay by
management is illegal.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement on 24-7-2014 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party contends that workman
was never engaged by Bank in any post of peon. He was not engaged in permanent establishment on sanctioned post.
Workman was given work of distribution of dak to different offices. He was paid fixed amount settled in advance. The
amount fixed as per his consent was accepted by workman without any protest. 2nd party further contends that claim of
workman for wages is not tenable as he was not engaged in the Bank. The services of workman were availed as per
requirement. Work was not of continuous nature. Work was assigned to Ist party on contract basis. The contracted
amount was paid to him for specific work. The dispute raised by workman is not tenable. 2nd party reiterates above
contentions that work of distribution of dak was assigned to workman. Workman was not continuously working from
10-11-2005 to 4-10-07. Amount settled for work was also paid. Workman was not engaged as full time casual worker.
Claim of workman is denied. 2nd party has referred to ratio held in various cases and prays for reference be answered in
its favour.
4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the demand of the Union, Dainik Vetan
Bhogi Bank Karamchari Sangthan, Ujjain for
payment of wages to Shri Santosh Sahu for the days
he distributed the dak during the period from
10-11-2005 to 4-10-07 is legal and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
As per final order.
REASONS
5.
The term of reference pertains to payment of demand of Union for payment of wages of Santosh Sahu for the
distributing dak during the period 10-11-05 to 4-10-07. Management has denied the claim of workman.
6.
Workman filed affidavit of his evidence supporting his claim but he remained absent for cross examination, his
evidence cannot be considered. Management did not adduce evidence in the matter.
7.
2nd party has admitted documents P-4 to P-8 which are marked Exhibit W-1 to W-5. Exhibit W-1 shows Ist
party workman was paid amount to Rs. 9046/- for 190 days bonus 8.33 amount Rs. 753.60 was paid to workman. Thus
the working days of Ist party workman are shown 190 days. By Exhibit W-2 bonus amount Rs. 754/- has been paid to
workman. In Exhibit W-3, in para 4.19, 2nd party has stated that during the period 5-1-05 to 6-10-07 Ist party workman
has done work of distribution of dak 155 times. He was paid Rikshaw charges, cycle charges Rs. 1710/- workman was
not paid salary/ pay for above said work. In Exhibit W-4 also 2nd party has stated that workman did work for distribution
of dak. He was paid Rikshaw charges for it. 2nd party has stated that workman has not worked for 8 hours in a day.
Entire amount due towards pay was paid to him and nothing was due. In Exhibit W-5, 2nd party has stated that workman
assigned work of distribution of dak, Rikshaw charges, cycle charges etc. were paid. Documents with P-9 are not
admitted by management. Document P-10 onwards are admitted by management. Rikshaw charges were paid under
those payment voucher. 2nd party has not adduced that the charges/ pay for work of distribution of dak was paid to
workman. The payment of salary/ wages to workman lies on 2nd party. The burden is not discharged. Considering
contents of Exhibit W-1, W-3, workman worked for 190 days for distribution of dak for which wages were not paid to
him but rikshaw charges were paid to him. 2nd party has not adduced any evidence what amount was fixed for work of
distribution of dak. Therefore the workman is entitled to the wages for 190 days for carrying work of distribution of
work at lowest rate of sub staff engaged on daily wages. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in
Affirmative.
8.
Point No. 2- In view of my finding in Point No.1, workman is entitled to wages for 190 days for the work of
distribution of dak carried by him. Both parties have not adduced evidence as to what wages, the workman is entitled.
2nd party failed to adduce evidence what amount was settled for above said work. Therefore in my considered view,
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2795
workman would be entitled to lowest wages for sub staff engaged on daily wages for 190 days. Accordingly I record my
finding in Point No. 2.
9.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The demand of Union is proper and legal.
(2)
2nd party is directed to pay wages for 190 days at lowest rate of sub staff engaged on daily wages.
Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In
case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

2796
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
10-9-97. He worked with devotion as there was no permanent peon or daftary working in Pritamgarh branch. Ist party
workman was required to do all the work of peon and Daftary. He was attending for work in the branch at 9 AM doing
cleaning, sweeping work. That he was doing work of peon till the Bank was closed. He was stitching bundle of notes,
distributing daks, going for purchase of articles required in the Bank, taking amount of funds to different banks. He
worked for 165 days during 1997-98, 313 days during 1998-99 & 312 days during 1999-2000, he was also paid bonus
for all those years. Bonus for 2001-02 was not paid to him, in the year 2000, wages of Ist party workman were increased
from Rs. 60/- to 65/- per day. On 20-12-01, Branch manager Shri B.S. Agrawal terminated his service without notice,
retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. He honestly worked as peon in the Bank. After termination of his
service, workman raised dispute. There was frequent correspondence between management and workman. After failure
of conciliation, dispute was referred. Ist party workman submits that for absorbing son of daughter of Dy.Manager, Ist
party workman was terminated without notice. Termination of his services is in violation of Section 25-F. Policy of last
come first go was not followed. Workman was not re-employed after his retrenchment. Thereby 2nd party violated
Section 25 H of ID Act. On such ground, workman prays for his reinstatement with backwages.
3.
2nd party management filed Written Statement at 8/1 to 8/8 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party submits that
service conditions of employees of Bank are covered by Sastri Award, Desai Award, bipartite settlement entered in the
Union and Association of Bank. That as per the award, settlement, sub-staff in Banks are entitled to various kinds of
leave. The sub-staff remain absent without prior intimation. Under such circumstances, management is required to
engage daily wagers in leave vacancy calling names of the candidates from Employment Exchange. Name of workman
was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. He is not eligible/ qualified to be engaged on daily wages. Workman
was engaged as causal labour for 2-3 hours in Pritamgarh branch for cleaning, sweeping work. 2nd party submits that
claim of workman is not covered as dispute defined under Section 2(j) of ID Act. Workman was never appointed by
Bank, appointment letter was not given to him. Workman had not undergone recruitment process. There is no employer
employee relationship. Therefore claim of workman cannot be treated as ID and deserves to be dismissed. 2nd party
referred to ratio held in various case and reiterating above contentions, 2nd party prays that reference be answered in its
favour.
4.
Ist party filed rejoinder at Page 9/1 to 9/2 reiterating contentions in statement of claim.
5.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the management of
General Manager (O) State Bank of Indore in
terminating the services of Shri Ram Kumar Verma
w.e.f. 28-12-2001 and not regularizing his services
is justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
6.
The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of service of workman and denial of regularization in
service. Claim of workman is opposed by management filing detailed Written Statement. Employer employee
relationship is denied. In para-2 of Written Statement, 2nd party contented that workman was engaged on daily wages for
casual work for 2-3 hours in a day. Ist party workman filed affidavit of his evidence supporting his claim in statement of
claim but he did not appear for his cross-examination. Therefore his evidence cannot be considered. As per order dated
22-3-2011, it was brought to notice that State Bank of Indore is merged in State Bank of India on 28-7-2010. The zerox
copy of documents produced by workman are not proved by valid evidence. Application for production of documents
was submitted by workman on 20-2-07. Said application was opposed by management contending that the attendance of
casual daily wage employees are not maintained by Bank. The application was not pursued by 2nd party even after
application for calling documents regarding distribution of documents. Therefore argument advanced by Shri
R.Nagwanshi Union Representative to draw reference for non-production of documents cannot be accepted.
7.
Management has filed affidavit of witness of Shri Deepak Kothari supporting contentions of 2nd party. The
contentions in Written Statement filed by 2nd party that workman was not appointed following recruitment process. He
was engaged for daily wages for 2-3 hours. Management’s witness in his cross examination says 1991 to 2001 he was
not posted in Pritamgarh branch. Presently he is working at Branch Manager. Before filing affidavit, he discussed the
matter with earlier Branch Managers. He received information that workman was engaged on daily wages. Appointment
letter was not given to him. Any recruitment process was not followed before his engagement. Attendance register of
workman was not maintained. He was paid wages Rs. 50, 60/- per day. He claims ignorance who was working as
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2797
Daftary in the Bank during 1997 to 2001. The zerox copies of payment vouchers, copy of payment register, bonus
register referred to him were denied. That workman was not paid retrenchment compensation. No documents are
produced about distribution of dak requested by workman filing application for production of documents.
8.
The legal position is settled that onus lies on workman to prove that he worked more than 240 days preceding
his termination. Workman filed his evidence but he not appeared for his cross-examination. Any documents produced
by him are not proved. Evidence of workman cannot be considered. Workman has failed to discharge onus that he
continuously worked for 240 days preceding 12 months of his termination. When workman has failed to discharge his
onus, the burden does not shift on management when 2nd party has adduced evidence that documents regarding
attendance payment of wages of casual daily wagers are not maintained. There is no reason to disbelieve evidence of
management’s witness. Workman failed to establish that termination of his services is in violation of Section 25-F of ID
Act as he failed to prove that he worked for 240 days continuously. Therefore I answer Point No.1 in Affirmative.
9.
In the result, the award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

AWARD
Passed on this 8th day of April, 2016
1.
As per letter dated 14-9-05 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-
12012/18/2005-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the General Manager, Bank of India, Region-IV in not regularizing the services of Shri
Lalman Napit in the post of messenger is legal and justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled to?”
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim at Page 6/1
to 6/3. Case of Ist party workman is that he was initially appointed as messenger from 1-7-75 at Branch Office Shahdol.
He was continuously working with 2nd party. He completed more than 240 days during each of the calendar year. That
2nd party Bank is established under SBI Act 1955 is covered as industry under ID Act. Ist party is covered as workman
under Section 2(s) of ID Act. That he was appointed against vacant post following proper procedure. He worked honesty
to the satisfaction of his superiors. He also acquired experience to possess qualified post of messenger. While
continuing in service, no chargesheet was issued against him nor enquiry was conducted against him. The job on which
workman is working is of permanent nature. He deserves to be regularized on post of messenger.
3.
Workman further submits that he is performing work of messenger since his initial appointment. He is paid
wages Rs.815/- total 1635/- per month. Though he is performing job of regular messengers, he is not paid wages as per
pay scale prescribed for said post. Management has not followed principles for equal pay for equal work contemplated
under Article 39 of the constitution. Workman is paid less wages. Ist party workman further submits that post on which
he is working permanently is useful to the management. He is appointed on clear vacancy post is permanent. The
services of workman are not regularized. He has valuable rights of conciliation for regularization because junior
employees have been regularized on the post of messenger. That since last 30 years, he is working with 2nd party
therefore he is entitled for regularization from completion of six months from the date of his appointment and
consequential relief. Management was not regularizing his services is unfair labour practice. Management has
discriminated workman by not regularizing his services. Workman reiterates that since his appointment from 1-7-75
after completion of six months satisfactory service, he is entitled for regularization as permanent employee. This
Tribunal was pleased to direct management to regularize services of workman submits that directions be issued for
regularization of his service since completion of six months service from initial appointment and pay regular pay scale
as consequential benefits.
4.
2nd party filed Written Statement opposing relief claimed by workman. 2nd party submits that workman was
engaged in Bank on daily wages purely on casual labour. In 1982, he worked for 109 days at Shahdol, in 1983, he
worked for 114 days in Singhpur, 137 days in Regional Office, Shahdol & 164 days in Regional Office, Shahdol. 2nd
party reiterates that workman was engaged purely as daily rated casual employee for casual work on contract basis. The
workman was engaged from opening hours of the Bank till closing hours of the Bank. Workman was free not to come on
wage day. Management was also free to engage him on next day. Workman was paid daily wages. He was not in
continuous employment of the Bank. Workman had not completed more than 240 days in any calendar year. As
workman was engaged on daily wages has no right to the Court. His engagement is subject to availability of work.
Engagement of work as daily wager indicates his engagement subject to availability of work for a particular day only.
The continuous work for what soever long period cannot over reach the law. The regular appointments are made in
accordance with rules. Workman is not entitled for regularization of his services. 2nd party further submits in order to
provide permanent appointment to the persons working on daily wages in Bank, settlement was reached between Bank
and Staff Federation. Under the settlement, it was agreed that the person shall be given appointment on available
vacancies on daily rated employees who worked for continuous period under clause 1 of the settlement were to be given
opportunity for permanent employment in the Bank subject to his age is between 18 to 26 years. 2nd party reiterates that
at the time of engagement of workman, his date of birth was 1-7-55. He was engaged in 1982, age of workman was 27
years, workman was not eligible for permanent employment in the Bank. Ist party workman was called for interview
along with other candidates. The selection Committee found Ist party was overage at the time of his initial appointment
therefore he was not offered permanent appointment. 2nd party denies that Ist party was appointed on the post of
messenger. He was engaged on daily wages on temporary basis as per exigency of work. Workman is not still working
in the Bank. Ist party workman was working since 13-6-92 in canteen run by Local Implementation Committee which is
welfare committee for staff members. Branch Manager is President, Union Representative is the Secretary and one more
staff member is on the said committee. The Bank provides subsidy to the committee for running the canteen and catering
services for the staff members working at the branch. The branch recruits canteen boys. The bank has nothing to do with
the said recruitment. The Bank has no concern with supervision or control with the work done by the canteen boys. Even
for purpose of settlement, the period upto 1991 was required to be taken into account. Ist party is working in the canteen
since 13-6-92. It was admitted in the application submitted before ALC during conciliation proceedings. 2nd party denies
that workman completed 240 days continuous service, he is not entitled for regularization. It is denied that workman as
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2799
appointed against vacant post after following selection procedure. It is denied that workman was paid wages plus DA.
Workman cannot claim benefit of pay scale in parity with regular employees. Violation of principles of equal pay for
equal work is denied. As workman was appointed on daily wages as per exigency, he cannot claim benefit of such
principle. Workman was never appointed on any post in the Bank following selection process. As per ratio held in
Secretary, State of Karnataka versus Umadevi, workman is not entitled for regularization. On such contentions, 2nd party
prays that reference be answered in its favour.
5.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the General Manager,
Bank of India, Region-IV in not regularizing
the services of Shri Lalman Napit in the post of
messenger is legal and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, to what relief the workman is
entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
6.
The terms of reference pertains to denial of regularization of workman on post of messenger. Workman filed
affidavit of his evidence supporting his contentions in statement of claim that he was initially appointed as messenger on
1-7-75 at Shahdol branch on vacant post following selection process. Since his initial appointment, he is continuously
working. He worked honestly. Any chargesheet was not issued to him. No enquiry was conducted against him. He
referred to rendered service satisfactorily. He completed more than 240 days during each of the calendar year.
Appointment letter was not given to him. He was paid wages less than minimum wages though work of regular
employee was extracted from him. That he is working in the Bank since last 38 years. His services are not regularized.
The employees engaged after him are regularized. In 1986, he participated in selection process. He passed in exam. His
name was included in the panel list but his services were not regularized on the post of messenger. From evidence of
workman, documents Exhibit W-1, 1(a to c) are admitted in evidence. In his cross examination, workman says he passed
8th standard. His date of birth is 7-7-55. Initially he was appointed in 1975. He was doing work of taking ledgers issuing
token. He had not received interview call. His name was in list of candidates for interview. At that time, he was working
in the Bank in 1986. He was appointed as messenger. Mr. Sharma Accountant told him that there was vacancy in the
Bank. He was interviewed. He had not submitted application to the Bank, no interview call was received by him.
Appointment letter was not given to him. That presently he is working in the Bank. He does work of keeping vouchers at
cash counter.
7.
The documents produced by workman Exhibit W-1 is letter of appreciation for participating in the National
language at Regional Level in 1996, workman was paid Rs. 200 by gift cheques. In Exhibit W-1(a) the working days of
workman for the period 1-7-75 to 31-12-75 are 183 days, 1-1-76 to 31-12-76 – 365 days, 25-6-82 to 9-10-82 111 days.
The learned counsel for 2nd party Shri Ashish Shroti submits that working days shown in document are manipulated.
There is difference in writing in Column 1,2 & 3. The difference in writing can be seen even by naked eyes. Exhibit W-
1(b) shows that Ist party workman worked as daily wage messenger from 1-9-83 to 30-10-83, 1-11-83 to 30-11-83.
Exhibit W-1(c) certificate of temporary service shows that workman worked for 137 days in 1991, 164 days in 1992.
Even if those documents are accepted, it is clear that workman was not continuously working. The working days 180 &
365 shown in Exhibit W-1(a) clearly shows entire period is shown as working days of workman. 2nd party in its Written
Statement has shown details of working days of workman 109 days in 1982, 114 days in 1983, 137 days in 1991, 164
days in 1992. Workman has not produced documents about payment received by him. Any co-worker is not examined.
8.
The evidence of management’s witness Indu Bhushan Roy is on the point that workman was engaged on
contract basis as casual labour on daily wages. Workman was free not to come next day. Management was also free not
to engage workman. Workman was paid daily wages. Workman was not in continuous employment. He not completed
240 days continuous service during any of the calendar year. Workman was not appointed following selection process.
At the time of engagement in 1982, workman was of 27 years of age. When he was given chance before selection
committee, the committee found him over age, workman could not be appointed. Management’s witness in his cross
examination says he was not posted at Shahdol branch. He was working in Regional Office, Katni as Chief Manager.
Presently he did not know workman. He was intermittently working from 1984. He does not know whether workman is
still working in Shahdol branch. In 1986, examination was conducted for regular appointment. He denies that workman
was selected at that time. He denies that workman had passed written examination and his name was appearing in the
list. Management’s witness says Bank provides employment as per rules. Management’s witness claimed ignorance how
many post of messenger was sanctioned in the Bank. He was also unable to tell present vacancies of messenger. No
2800
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
documents are produced that workman was found overage and therefore employment was not provided to him. Witness
of management denies that work of messenger is of perennial nature. The documents about working days of workman
are not produced. There are no rules in the Bank for regularization of daily rated workers. Management’s witness claims
ignorance whether any other employee working with workman are regularized. Workman has not been regularized in
service. Evidence of management’s witness is in the form of denial of claim of workman that he was appointed after
following selection process and workman was continuously working and continued more than 240 days service.
9.
Burden lies on workman to prove that he was appointed following selection process and he was continuously
working from 1-7-75 as messenger. Except document Exhibit W-1, 1(a to c), workman has not produced any document
about the wages received by him since his initial appointment in 1975 till the dispute was raised, any co-worker is not
examined. Document Exhibit W-1(1 to c) do not support claim of workman that he was continuously working as
messenger with the Bank. Workman in his cross examination has admitted that he was not given appointment letter.
Interview call was also not received by him. Documents about including his name in panel list are not produced by
workman. The evidence of workman and documents produced are inadequate to establish that he is continuously
working in the bank from 1-7-75.
10. During course of argument, learned counsel for workman Shri K.B.Singh argued that as per model standing
orders on completion of six months service, workman is entitled for regularization in service. However the workman has
not pleaded in his statement neither evidence is adduced by him about application of standing orders how many
employees are working, whether 2nd party has certified standing orders. In absence of such pleading and evidence,
argument advanced by learned counsel for Ist party cannot be accepted. Learned counsel for Ist party further submits
that workman was continuously working since past more than 30 years. His services are not regularized by 2nd party
amounts to unfair labour practice. The evidence of workman and documents produced by him do not establish that
workman was continuously working for any specific period prior to the dispute was raised. Any documents are not
produced by workman about his working in the Bank after 30-11-83. The document Exhibit W-1 shows that workman
was rewarded for his participation in national language at Regional level in 1996. The dispute is referred as per order
dated 14-9-05. No evidence is adduced by workman that he was working in Bank as messenger after 1996 as order of
reference is of 14-9-05. In absence of such evidence, the allegations of unfair labour practice on part of management
cannot be accepted. Learned counsel for workman Shri K.B.Singh relies on ratio held in
Case of H.D.Singh versus Reserve Bank of India and others reported in 1986-AIR-132. Reading of para 3 of
above cisted case show that appellant had presented himself for duty but he was not offered job when he
reported for duty for reasons best known to the Bank, (ii) he was employed only for 4 days in the year 1974,
154 days in 1975 and 105 days in 1976, (iii) he was not told at the time when he acceptyed the job that his
name would be struck off from the rolls if he passed the matriculate exam etc.
The facts of present case are not comparable therefore principles laid down in the judgment cannot be applied
to case at hand. The evidence of workman clearly shows that he was not appointed after following selection process,
appointment letter was not given to him. The claim of workman for regularization cannot be allowed. If such claim is
allowed, it will certainly be back door entry in Bank service. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in
Affirmative.
11.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
REASONS
5.
The term of reference pertains to demand of Union for difference of wages as per Bipartite settlement to Ist
party workman. Management has denied claim of workman filing detailed Written Statement.
6.
Workman filed affidavit of his evidence. Workman states that from 27-4-97 to 13-12-05, he was working as
peon. He was working for 8 hours every day. He completed more than 240 days during each of the year 1997 to 2005,

working days. Charges for Sunday was not paid to him. He denies that his attendance was not maintained. He denies that
he had not complained about wages paid to him to the higher authorities.
7.
Management filed affidavit of witness Shri Rakesh Sharma supporting contentions in Written statement filed by
2nd party. As per management’s witness, workman was engaged on daily wage basis as per exigencies after work was
over, workman was not required to report to work. His engagement was purely casual on daily wages. The wages settled
were paid to the workman. Workman had not completed 240 days continuous service. Workman is not entitled to regular
pay scale wages.
8.
In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he was not posted in Bilaspur branch from 1997 to 2005.
Workman was engaged on daily wages. He claims ignorance whether any selection process was followed before his
engagement or permission of Controlling Authority was taken before engagement of workman. Attendance register of
workman is not maintained. Wages were paid by petty cash to him. Wages paid to workman at the rate of Rs.100 per
day, workman was paid gratuity. Management’s witness claims ignorance whether workman filed proceeding before
ALC, Bilaspur for bonus. Management’s witness claims ignorance about payment of bonus to workman.
9.
The document Exhibit W-1 is order for payment of gratuity Rs.13,500 by Controlling Authority. Exhibit W-2 is
order passed in appeal upholding the order of payment of gratuity. The evidence of workman is silent about the 7th & 8th
Bipartite settlement. Copy of those settlement is not produced. Learned counsel for 2nd party submitted that workman
was not regular employee, he is not entitled for scale wages as per settlement. The evidence of workman in cross
examination is clear that he was not appointed following recruitment process. The daily wage employee cannot claim
wages at the rate of regular employee. Therefore I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.
10.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The demand of Union is not proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

Passed on this 5th day of May, 2016
1.
As per letter dated 10-1-2011 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is
received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-
41012/23/2009-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of DRM, Paschimi Madhya Railway, Jabalpur in terminating services
of Shri Moti Lal Sahu instead of regularizing him after employing him from 31-3-79 and from 25-1-83 to 22-6-
84 is justified? To what relief the workman is entitled?”
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman failed to participate in reference
proceeding. Ist party is proceeded ex parte as per order dated 3-5-2013.
3.
2nd party in Written statement contented that under Section 2-A of ID Act, no individual employee can raise ID
for regularization. The reference is not tenable. Applicant had contented in application under Section 2-A that he was
working as casual labour during the period 31-3-78 to 19-3-79. The dispute for reinstatement is raised after 30 years is
not tenable. That Ist party in application submitted before ALC Jabalpur in conciliation proceeding had contented that he
worked intermittently during period 31-3-78 to 18-8-78, 19-9-78 to 18-2-79. Thereafter intermittently he worked in the
year 1984, 19-1-85 to 18-2-85, 1-1-87 to 18-1-87. The terms of reference are inconsistent with the contentions in the
application submitted by workman. That workman did not complete 240 days continuous service, he is not covered
under Section 25 B of ID Act. Workman is not entitled to protection under Section 25-F of ID Act of ID Act. On
scrutiny, contention of Ist party workman was found 7th standard. The required qualification for Group D category is 8th
standard. Workman is not entitled to reinstatement.
4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-

Paschimi Madhya Railway, Jabalpur in terminating
services of Shri Moti Lal Sahu instead of
regularizing him after employing him from 31-3-79
and from 25-1-83 to 22-6-84 is justified?
Reference could not be decided on merit due to non-
participation of parties.
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief
REASONS
5.
Workman has not participated in reference proceeding. He is proceeded ex parte. 2nd party filed Written
Statement contending that workman had not completed 240 days continuous service. He was not possessing required
educational qualification. However 2nd party has also not participated in remaining reference proceeding. No evidence is
adduced. Evidence of management is closed on 2-5-2016. Both parties not properly participated in reference proceeding,
the reference could not be decided on merit.
6.
In the result, award is passed as under:-

AWARD
Passed on this 5th day of May, 2016
1.
As per letter dated 26-2-04 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-
12012/275/2003-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of General Manager(O), State Bank of Indore in terminating the
services of Shri Lakshmi Narain Bairagi w.e.f. 13-8-02 and not regularizing him is justified? If not, to what
relief the workman is entitled for?”
2.
After receiving order of reference, notices were issued to the parties. Statement of claim on behalf of Ist party
workman is filed by Union. Statement of claim is filed at Page 5/2 by Union. Case of workman is that he was appointed
as temporary employee in Bank on 1-1-1997 after vacancy caused by death of Sajjan Singh Thakur, peon/daftary . The
service condition of employees are governed by award, bipartite settlement. As per provisions of bipartite settlement
dated 19-10-66 clause 20.8, the temporary employee may be appointed without filling permanent vacancy for maximum
period of 3 months. During this period, Bank shall have to make arrangement to full up the vacancies. In the matter of
Ist party, no employee was appointed in place of Shri Sajjan. Shri Bairagi was given permanent appointment of peon as
per bipartite settlement. That he completed 240 days continuous service during the period of 12 months. His services
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2805
were terminated w.e.f. 13-8-02 instead of regularizing his services. On such ground, Ist party prays for regularization of
the services of Ist party workman.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 6/1 to 6/8 opposing claim of workman. Case of 2nd party is Ist party
workman was not employed as permanent employee. He has not attained permanent status. That workman worked as
casual worker in sometime. He was doing sweeping work, supplying water. It doesnot give him right for absorption in
service. It would amount to back door entry in violation of the rules and regulations. Employer employee relationship
with Ist party workman is denied. That 2nd party Bank is established under SBI Act, 1959. The Bank has its own service
regulations for recruitment for clerical and subordinate staff. Workman was not appointed following recruitment rules.
he was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. Appointment letter was not given to him. Workman has not
completed 240 days continuous service. There is no question of termination of his service. As workman was not
appointed by the Bank following recruitment rules, the reference is not tenable. Engaging casual labour for few hours
doesnot give him right as employee of the Bank. Rates of payments prescribed by Bank for regular employees are not
applicable to the workman. Claim of workman is not tenable. Workman was not working against permanent vacancy
after death of Sajjan Singh. The contentions of workman in this regard are false. After death of Sajjan singh Thakur,
vacant post was duly filled by permanent staff on 15-7-98 as per guidelines and circulars. Clause 20.8 of Bipartite
settlement dated 19-10-66 are applicable only to the temporary employees employed by the Bank. Workman was
engaged as casual worker cannot be termed temporary employee. Ist party workman was engaged as casual mazdoor for
few hours for cleaning sweeping work. He was paid remuneration as per his request. On such contentions, 2nd party
prays reference be answered in its favour.
4.
Ist party submitted rejoinder at Page 9/1 to 9/2 reiterating contentions in statement of claim and denying
adverse contentions in Written Statement filed by management.
5.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the management of
General Manager(O), State Bank of Indore in
terminating the services of Shri Lakshmi Narain
Bairagi w.e.f. 13-8-02 and not regularizing him is
justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
6.
The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of workman and denial of regularisation. The
management has opposed claim of workman filing detailed Written Statement. Ist party workman field affidavit of his
evidence supporting his claim. Workman has stated that he was temporarily appointed in Latery branch Vidisha on
1-1-1997 after death of Sajjan Singh Thakur. That he completed 240 days continuous service. He was paid bonus as per
rules. as per circular No. 247/03, 37/93, employees who completed 240 days continuous service are eligible for
regularization he claims eligible for regularization as per above circulars. Affidavit is absolutely silent about his
termination from service. In his cross-examination workman says in 1997, Shri Omprakash Garg was Manager in Lateri
branch. Only 4 persons were working in that branch. Mr. Dinesh working as Daftary, Kailash peon, Harkishan Dhobi
and workman himself were temporary. Appointment letter was given to him. He was paid on daily wage basis for his
working days. Certificate of Branch Manager is not produced by him about his working from 1993 to 1997. That he had
not submitted application for regularization of his service, he was not interviewed, his name was not called from
Employment Exchange, post was not published in newspaper. He denies that after termination of his service, he was
called intermittently for work.
7.
Management’s witness Shri Naresh Kumar filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions in Written
Statement filed by workman. Management’s witness claims that documents relating to the Ist party workman were
perused by him before filing his affidavit. Ist party workman was not appointed as permanent employee of the Bank
against vacant post. The post was not advertised. Workman was not sponsored through Employment Exchange.
Workman was engaged for casual work. He doesnot get right for regularization. The circulars No. 247/03 & 37/93
clause 20.8 of Bipartite settlement dated 19-10-66 are not applicable in the matter of workman. In his cross-examination,
management’s witness says Ist party workman was working in the Bank on daily wages during past 4-5 years. He is
working in lateri branch. He denies that after death of Sajjan Singh, workman was appointed in his place.
Management’s witness claims ignorance about the correspondence in the matter with Head Office. As per the
2806
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
proceeding filed before RLC, workman was paid bonus. Workman is not paid bonus as regular employee of the Bank.
Management’s witness admits that if daily wage employees works 240 days in a year, he is eligible for regularization.
Management’s witness was unable to say whether workman was eligible for regularisation. Management’s witness was
unable to say whether workman was eligible for regularization.
8.
2nd party has produced copy of death certificate shows that workman die3d on 20-3-14. Ist party has not
produced circulars No. 273/03& 37/93 relied by him. Workman was not interviewed, his name was not sponsored
through Employment Exchange. Copy of Circular dated 13-8-93 is produced on record. It pertains to regularization of
part time employees who worked 240 days during period of 12 months. Said circular further provides that the working
for 240 days in a calendar year should be prior to the period 1982 would not be accepted. Other conditions relates to
relaxation of age to SC ST , Ex-Servicemen , Educational qualification should be 8th standard. Statement of claim filed
by workman and his evidence are silent on those points. Claim for regularization of workman is not established. Besides
it, workman has died and consequently reinstatement of workman is impossible. Ist party workman has absolutely not
pleaded or adduced evidence on the point of legality of termination of his service. Therefore I record my finding in Point
No.1 in Affirmative.
9. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

AWARD
Passed on this 4th day of May 2016
1.
As per letter dated 7-12-2001 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-
12012/287/2001-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the General Manager (Operations), State Bank of Indore, Head Office Indore in not
regularizing instead terminating the services of Shri Rajnarayan Raikwar even after working for more than 240
days every year during the period 1-1-1996 to 8-4-99 at Chhattarpur branch of State Bank of Indore is legal and
justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled to?”
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim at
4/1 to 4/10. Case of Ist party workman is that there was bipartite agreement between management and All India State
Bank of Indore Employees Committee dated 13-7-93 for regularization of temporary employees working 240 days in a
year. Ist party workman was engaged on daily wages for sweeping cleaning work as peon. From 1-1-1996, he was
working with devotion. Workman was paid under vouchers for Monday to Saturday. Branch Manager Shri N.S.Tirkhi
told him that he will be paid under different kinds of bills. Record of his attendance would not be entered. That he
continuously worked on 27-3-96 to 4-9-97. The details of the payment are shown in Para-9 of statement of claim. That
Branch Manager Shri B.R.Singh was taking payments under voucher. Workman had filed conciliation proceeding before
ALC, Indore for regularization. That during pendency of said proceeding, his services would not be terminated. His
services are terminated on 7-4-99 during pendency of said proceeding. Workman reiterates that he completed more than
240 days continuous service. He was not regularized. After termination of his service, Shri Rajendra Yadav was engaged
by 2nd party. Workman was paid bonus Rs.100 per year during the period 1-1-1996 to 8-4-99. He was not paid bonus as
per the working days. His services are terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation is not paid to him.
Termination of his service is in violation of Section 25-F,G,N of ID Act. Policy of last come first go was not followed.
On such ground, Ist party workman is praying for reinstatement with backwages and difference of bonus with interest.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 10/1 to 10/8 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party submits that
service conditions of employees of the Bank are covered by Sastri Award, Dewai Award and Bipartite settlement.
Award staff consists of different categories. The sub staff are entitled to various kinds of leave. When sub staff remained
absent without prior notice, Bank engaged daily wagers to work in leave vacancy of sub staff. Such daily wagers are also
engaged whenever there is temporary work load. Daily wager fulfills required qualification and sponsored through
Employment Exchange for empanelment. The panel of daily rated casual labours is maintained district wise as per
seniority. Ist party workman was also sponsored through Employment Exchange. He was not engaged following the
required conditions. Workman was engaged for 2-3 hours at agreed rate for cleaning sweeping work in the branch
premises. 2nd party further submits that claim raised by workman is not covered as dispute under Section 2K of ID Act.
Workman was never appointed by Bank. He had not undergone recruitment process therefore the reference is not
tenable.
4.
Shri Ram Nagwanshi is a dismissed employee of the Bank claims to be General Secretary of Union is not
competent to raise the dispute. 2nd party has referred to ratio held in various cases. That workman was never appointed
by Bank. His name was not sponsored through Employment Exchange to qualify as daily wager. The dispute should not
have been referred. On such ground, 2nd party prays reference be answered in its favour.
5.
Ist party workman filed rejoinder at Page 13/1 to 13/3 reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.
6.
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 General Manager
(Operations), State Bankof Indore, Head Office
Indore in not regularizing instead terminating the
services of Shri Rajnarayan Raikwar even after
working for more than 240 days every year during
the period 1-1-1996 to 8-4-99 at Chhattarpur branch
of State Bank of Indore is legal and justified?
In Negative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
As per final order.
2808
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
REASONS
7.
The term of reference pertains to denial of regularization of workman and legality of termination of his service.
The claim of workman is opposed by management filing detailed Written Statement. Though objection under Section
36(4) of ID Act is raised by Ist party and management has raised objection about locus standi of Shri Ram Nagwanshi
for representing the workman, at the time of hearing, the above objections were not pressed.
8.
Workman filed affidavit of his evidence. Workman has stated that he was engaged on daily wages Rs.20 per
day from 1-01-1996. His wages were increased to Rs.25,30,40,50. He worked with devotion. He was paid wages under
voucher for Monday to Saturday- six days in a week. The payments were also made in different names. That he worked
more than 240 days every year bonus Rs.100 per annum was paid to him. That he filed conciliation proceeding before
ALC, Indore. His services were terminated during pendency of conciliation proceeding on 4-04-99 in violation of
Section 33-A of ID Act. In his cross-examination, workman says he was working in Chhattarpur branch of SBI from 1-
1-96 to 8-4-99 under different Branch Managers. Appointment Letter was not issued to him. He was not interviewed. He
was doing work of opening Bank, keeping ledgers, evidence of workman that he had completed 240 days during each
year is not challenged in his cross examination.
9.
Workman has produced original certificate of working but those documents are not proved by workman in his
evidence. He has produced certified copies of those certificates which were admitted and marked Exhibit W-8, W-9 in
R/165/02. The certified copies are admitted. The certificate clearly shows that workman was working in the Branch from
1-1-1996 to 20-9-97 & 46 days from 9-3-98 to 23-4-98. The evidence of workman is corroborated by those documents.
Workman had submitted application for production of documents. Application was opposed by management that the
documents are not maintained.
10.
Management filed affidavit of witness Shri Taj Ahmed Khan supporting contentions in Written Statement that
workman was not appointed as peon. He was not working during 1-1-1996 to 8-4-99 continuously. Workman had not
completed more than 240 days working. Workman was engaged for cleaning, sweeping working one hour morning,
one hour evening, his name was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. Management’s witness in his cross say
that he was not posted in Chhattarpur branch during 1996 to 1999. Any document is not produced with his affidavit. He
had not taken information from other Branch Managers. Payment was made to workman under petty vouchers but he has
not seen those documents. Payment was made to workman on the same day of working for his working days. Workman
was not issued retrenchment notice. He was not paid retrenchment compensation. He claims ignorance whether after
termination of workman, one Rajendra Yadav was engaged in his place. The documents regarding payment of bonus are
admitted and documents admitted by management witness is marked Exhibit W-5. Said documents is settlement dated
13-7-93 between management and Union one time opportunity was allowed for absorption on permanent basis to sub
staff working more than 240 days during 12 consecutive months. Clause IV of the Exhibit W-5 provides interview by
Committee for permanent employment and absorption. Evidence of workman is silent on the point. Evidence on record
clearly shows workman worked more than 240 days during 1-1-96 to Feb-97. His services are terminated without notice
therefore retrenchment compensation is not paid to him. Therefore the termination of workman is illegal for violation of
Section 25-F of ID Act. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.
11.
Point No.2 In view of my finding in Point No.1 termination of workman is illegal for violation of Section 25-F
of ID Act, question arises whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages. As per evidence of workman,
he worked more than 240 days during Jan-96 to Feb-97. Appointment letter was not issued to him. Workman was not
interviewed. Recruitment process was not followed before his engagement. Learned counsel for 2nd party submitted
copies of award in R/149/03. In said reference, ratio held in case of Azar Krishi Evam Prodyogidi Vishwavidyalaya
versus United Trades Congress reported in 2008(2)SCC-552 was considered. Ratio held in the case that working for
more than 240 days continuously from date of engagement by itself doesnot confer any right by workman to be
regularized in service. In my considered view, reinstatement of workman would not be justified. Instead compensation
Rs.75,000 would be appropriate. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2.
12.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is proper and legal.

3.
2nd party filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. 2nd party reiterates that appointment and service
conditions of its employees are covered by the circulars issued by RBI, SBI. Name of workman was not sponsored
through Employment Exchange, the post was not advertised. Workman as not appointed following recruitment
procedure. He was engaged for 2 hours as per exigency of work. Workman did not work for 8 hours. That regular peon
in the Bank are not doing work of cleaning, sweeping therefore for said work daily wages employees are engaged for
one hour morning at the agreed rate of wages. The wages are paid for one hour before opening of Bank and one hour
closing of the Bank. Workman had not completed 240 days continuous service. Workman was never appointed as
regular peon. So called Union is not competent to raise dispute as it is not registered under Trade Union Act. The
reference is not tenable. Workman is not entitled to difference of wages claimed by him.
4. Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the management of State
Bank of India in not paying wages to Shri Dilip
Chohtel, Sweeper, SBI, City Branch, Jabalpur as per
revised pay scale from 1-6-07 is legal and justified?
In Negative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
As per final order.
REASONS
5.
Point No.1- Ist party workman is claiming difference of wages as per 8th & 9th bipartite settlement contending
that he was engaged on daily wages for cleaning, sweeping work from 1-6-07. His services were terminated on 9-1-09.
The claim of workman is opposed by 2nd party filing written Statement. Workman filed affidavit of his evidence
supporting his contentions in statement of claim that he was engaged on daily wages by city branch, Jabalpur. The area
of the branch is 7000 sq.ft. The wages were increased to Rs.70, 80 per day. Wages were paid in names of different
persons Pradeep and Vineet from Petty Cash. That during conciliation as per letter dated 27-8-09, he was paid Rs.1286
& 1046 as bonus. In his cross-examination, workman says before engaging him, post was not advertised. Any
recruitment process was not followed. He denies that he was engaged as per exigency of work. He was paid wages for
his working days. Area of the branch as 7000 sq.ft is not challenged. Ist party workman produced documents Exhibit W-
1,2 relating to payment of bonus during the year 1007-08, 08-09, the rate of wages paid is shown in Exhibit W-1.
Rs.1000 per month July to August 2007, Rs.1090 from Sept to November 07, Rs. 1840 in December -07, March-08,
Rs.2000 in January, February-08. In Jule-July-08, he was paid Rs.2080, 2160 and different amount paid in other works.
Exhibit W-2 is copy of cheque of payment of bonus Rs.1286/-. Document Exhibit W-3, W-4 shows the rates of wages
payable to part time employees. The area of branch is about 5000 sq.ft. Full time wages on par with other full time non-
messenger staff is not payable. The rate is not disclosed. The area of the branch is less than 1200. Wages payable to
part time employees Rs.80 per month. If area of branch is 1200 to 2000sq.ft and working hours is 6 to 13 hours per
week, 1/3rd scale wages are payable to part time workman. What were full time wages of non-messenger staff, evidence
is not adduced by the parties.
6.
Evidence of management’s witness Shri Yatish Kumar Srivastava is filed supporting contentions in Written
Statement. Management’s witness in his cross examination says he was not posted in city branch Jabalpur during 2007
to 2009. That he had not seen original of Exhibit W-3, W-4. He was unable to tell wages prescribed as per Exhibit W-
3,4 were paid to workman. 9 settlement was settled on 27-4-2010. Exhibit W-4 is settlement between parties on
18-2-97. Bipartite Agreement Exhibit W-3, W-4 are binding on 2nd party, wages as per Exhibit W-3,4 are not paid.
Workman is entitled to full time wages for the post of non-merger grade. Therefore for above reasons, I record my
finding in Point No.1 in Negative.
7.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is not proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is entitled to full time wages to non-messenger grade post for working days during the
period 1-6-07 to 9-1-09 as per the Bipartite Agreement dated 18-2-97.
Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In
case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

Passed on this 2nd day of May 2016
1.
As per letter dated 2-9-2011 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-
12011/39/2011-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the demand of the Union, Dainik Vetan Bhogi Bank Karamchari Sangthan for appointment of Shri
Ajay Kumar Salwar as Messenger with State Bank of India in terms of judgment dated 28-1-04 of Hon’ble
High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur Bench in Writ Petition No.2790 of 2000 is legal and justified? To
whar relief the workman/Union is entitled?”
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim through
General Secretary of Union. Case of Ist party workman is that he was working as temporary messenger with 2nd party
from 8-4-85 to 8-7-85. He was discontinued from work for the reason that employees could not be continued more than
70 days. There was settlement between management and Union providing absorption of temporary employees working
more than 30 days. Ist party workman had worked for 76 days as sub staff. As per letter dated 18-7-89, he was called for
interview on 28-7-89. He was interviewed on said date. Workman being of SC ST category was paid travelling
allowance. Workman was again called for interview on 18-2-97 at Khandwa but he was not interviewed for the reason
that he was already interviewed in the year 1989. Workman alleged malpractices and irregularities in interview of
1997. Head of Committee Mr. Karkare was suspended after complaint. Workman had filed Writ Petition No. 2790/00.
Said Writ Petition was decided on 28-1-04. Bank had agreed to give opportunity to the petitioner through fresh
recruitment process. After judgment in Writ Petition, workman was not given regular appointment. He was engaged on
2812
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 25, 2016/ASADHA 4, 1938
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
daily wages. 2nd party had not given opportunity to the workman as fresh recruitment process is not undertaken. On such
ground workman prays for regular appointment.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. 2nd party submits that temporary daily wages
employees were given opportunity as per settlement dated 18-11-87. The eligible employees were called for interview
who temporarily worked till 31-7-88. The panel of selected candidates was valid till March 1997. The available
vacancies were filled from selected candidates. Workman had worked for 76 days. He was called for interview in 1989
but it appears that he was not found eligible for permanent employment on the ground that his working days were less.
That non-selection of Ist party is not subject matter of reference. Elaborate reasons for his non-selection are not given.
Workman filed Writ Petition No. 2790/2000. Hon’ble High Court vide order dated 28-1-04 observed that in case only
question survive is the petitioner may be given weightage in the case when future vacancy occurred. For such prayer,
petitioner shall file representations to the respondents. In case petitioners filed representations for giving weightage to
the past service rendered, the representations be considered in accordance with law. The question need not be decided at
this stage. 2nd party submits that order passed by High Court is clear. No direction was issued for granting appointment
to Ist party on post of messenger. Ist party workman was free to submit application whenever advertisement for
recruitment was made. 2nd party reiterating above contentions denied all adverse contentions of workman submitting that
same are not relevant. 2nd party denied that workman was paid TA when he was called for interview in 1989. That
candidates interviewed in 1989 was not required to be interviewed again in 1997. It is denied that persons having less
number of days than workman were given appointment in 1997. That Shri G.K.Sarsiya was having number of days than
workman. He was offered appointment. The order passed by Hon’ble High Court in Writ Petition on 28-1-04 is not
disputed. Hon’ble High Court declined to make interference that Ist party may make representation which has to be
considered according to law. Workman was free to submit representation. He is not entitled for appointment. 2nd party
submits there is no cause of action for reference.
4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the demand of the Union, Dainik Vetan
Bhogi Bank Karamchari Sangthan for appointment
of Shri Ajay Kumar Salwar as Messenger with State
Bank of India in terms of judgment dated 28-1-04 of
Hon’ble High Court of Madhya Pradesh, Jabalpur
Bench in Writ Petition No.2790 of 2000 is legal and
justified?
In Negative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
5.
The term of reference pertains to demand of Union for appointment of workman as per order dated 20-1-04 by
Hon’ble High Court, MP, Jabalpur in WP No. 2790/00 copy of order passed by Hon’ble High Court is produced at
Exhibit W-5. It is clear that only question which survive is that petitioners given weightage in the case when future
vacancy occur. No directions are given by Hon’ble High Court for giving appointment to Ist party as messenger.
6.
Workman filed affidavit of his evidence supporting his contentions in statement of claim that as per settlement
dated 17-11-87, he was called for interview on 18-7-89. That he worked for 76 days during the period 8-4-85 to 8-7-85.
Again he was called for interview on 18-2-97 but he was not interviewed for the reasons he was interviewed in the year
1989, he was interviewed in 1997. The documents about it are not produced. He had not submitted application to the
Bank. He filed Writ Petition in High Court. He did not remember what judgment was passed by Hon’ble High Court in
said Writ Petition. He knows Gopal Krishna Sargany. He was working in Head office as messenger. He belong to
General Category.
7.
Management filed affidavit of witness Shri Mohanlal Kori supporting contentions of management in Written
Statement that workman had not completed 240 days continuous service during 12 months, 270 days service in block of
36 calendar months, 270 days aggregate temporary service in continuous block of 36 calendar months as per the
settlement. Workman had worked for 76 days. He was called for interview in 1989 and found not eligible for permanent
employment. As per order passed in Writ Petition No. 2790/00, workman is not entitled for appointment. Management’s
witness in his cross says that he was not posted in Piparia branch during 1985 to 1987. Before filing affidavit of his
evidence, he had received information from earlier Branch Manager Mr. Khare. He had no discussion with Branch

Manager working during 1985 to 1987. The area of the branch building is 5000 sw.ft, 4 post of sub staff are sanctioned.
Out of it, 3 sub staff are working in the branch, one post is vacant. Work is carried through contractor Narmada
construction. Bipartite Settlement and documents are not produced. Workman was interviewed in 1989, select list is not
produced, some pages of select list are produced by workman, the same are not valid evidence. Considering the order
passed by Hon’ble High Court in Writ Petition, no direction is given for appointment of workman as messenger. The
demand of Union is not legal. Therefore I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.
8. In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The demand of Union is not legal and proper.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any reliefs.

4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.

terminating the services of Shri Vishnu Prasad
Banjara w.e.f. 15-6-2001 and not regularizing him
and also not paying him bonus is justified?
In Negative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
As per final order.
REASONS
5.
The term of reference pertains to legality of termination, denial of regularization and non-payment of bonus to
deceased workman. Though application is submitted under Section 36(4), when the matter came for hearing and
evidence, no objection was raised by either parties. Workman filed affidavit of his evidence but he died. Workman could
not be cross examined. In his affidavit of evidence, workman says he was working in State Bank of Indore which is
merged in State Bank of India. He was working in Sujalpur Mandi branch from March 1992 to 15-6-01. He was not
served with notice. Retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. After death of deceased workman, his widow
Deepabai filed affidavit of his evidence supporting contentions of workman working on daily wages in Bank during
above said period. Workman died on 1-1-2013. In her cross-examination, widow of workman says her husband was
working in State Bank of Indore merged in State Bank of India. Her husband was working as cashier. She claims
ignorance what salary was received by her husband. Her husband worked for 15-16 years in Bank. Her husband was
paid bonus. After termination of his service, her husband was working on wages.
6.
Management’s witness Sanjeev Verma filed affidavit of his evidence stating that deceased workman not
worked in earlier State Bank of Indore. He did not work for 240 days in any calendar year. Work of subordinate staff/
peon was not taken from him. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says during 1992 to 2001, he was not
posted in Sujalpur branch. From August 2012. He is Manager of said branch. He not received information from Branch
Manager working during 1992 to 2001. He was unable to tell how many sanction post of messenger were in the branch
in 2000. The area of Sujalpur branch is about 2500 sq.ft. branch holding is double storied. Any selection procedure was
not followed before engaging workman. Permission of Controlling Authority was not taken before his engagement.
Work of temporary nature was taken from workman. Appointment letter was not given to him. He was unable to tell
how wages were paid to the workman. Management’s witness admitted documents Exhibit W-5 to W-8. He claims
ignorance about payment of retrenchment compensation. Work of cleaning is presently carried through contractor.

2815
7.
Ist party is challenging termination for violation of Section 25-F,G,N of ID Act, ownus is on the workman to
establish that he worked more than 240 days preceding 12 months of his termination. The documents Exhibit W-1 is
order of reference, W-2 is copy of settlement dated 13-7-93 providing absorption of temporary employees as one time
opportunity. List of 20 temporary employees was prepared. Exhibit W-4 reply submitted in ALC office finds clear
reference that workman was engaged as casual labour as per exigency from July 95 for cleaning, sweeping, coolie work.
Exhibit W-6 refers to addressed to Branch Manager by LEO refers to copy of representation received from Union
advising to arrange payment of bonus. Exhibit W-7 is the document in which the working days of deceased workman
from July 1995 to May 2001 are shown. Exhibit W-8 pertains to complaint on General Secretary, Daily Wage Bank
Employees Union regarding payment of bonus. The working days of workman are shown in document P-14 computing
the bonus 210 days in 1999, 256 days in 2000. The documentary evidence on record corroborates evidence of deceased
workman and his evidence. Workman completed more than 240 days in the year 2000 preceding 12 months of his
termination. No evidence is adduced by management about issuing notice of termination or payment of retrenchment
compensation rather management witness had denied deceased workman was entitled to such benefits on the ground that
deceased workman did not work for 240 days during any of the year. The evidence is clear that deceased workman had
worked more than 240 days 12 months preceding termination of his service. He was not served with termination notice,
retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. Therefore I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.
8.

As per letter dated 21-7-06 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-
12012/235/2005-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of Dy.General Manager, State Bank of India, Zonal Office, Hamidia
Road, Bhopal in not issuing appointment letter and paying wages as per scale wage to Shri Santosh Kumar
Sahu is justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled to?”
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim at Page 2/2
to 2/6. Case of workman is that he belongs to ST. he was engaged as messenger in Vindyanchal branch Bhopal during
14-5-91 to 20-6-91 in office of officers Union Hamidia during 21-6-91 to 31-7-92. He was sent for work. Secretary of
Officers Union Mahesh directed him to work at Dhar branch on 31-7-92. He was working at Dhar branch from 1-8-92 to
13-4-94. He was paid wages in his name and sometimes in bogus names for 579 days. On 14-4-94, he was discontinued
without notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. Considering his working period, he was called for
interview on 19-2-97. He appeared in the interview. That irregularities were committed. Shri Karkare head of Selection
Committee was suspended on complaints. Workman filed Writ Petition No. 4811/2000 as per order dated 28-1-04,
directions were given for giving appointment to the workman. Despite of the order passed by Hon’ble High Court,
workman was not given appointment order. He was directed to work at Marwai branch from 8-3-04. Scale wages were
not paid to him for working period 8-3-04 to 31-8-05. Workman had raised dispute before ALC bearing No. 7(39)04
during pendency of conciliation proceedings, his services were terminated without notice on 13-6-05 in violation of
Section 33 of ID Act. He was not paid retrenchment compensation. On such workman further submits from 18-7-05
again he was engaged on work. He was paid Rs.1200 per month. He worked for 378 days till July 31st 2006. Workman
prays that not issuing appointment letter, scale wages to him from 8-3-04 be declared illegal. Workman prays payment
of scale wages with arrears with interest.
3.
2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 7/1 to 7/13 opposing claim of workman. Preliminary objection is
raised that Shri Ram Nagwanshi is dismissed from service of the Bank is not competent to represent the workman. Ist
party workman was engaged on daily wages. He was paid wages. Workman was free to come forward on next day. The
disengagement of Ist party doesnot amount to retrenchment. It is covered under Section 2(oo)(bb) of ID Act. Workman
was not given appointment letter. He was not selected following recruitment process. As per exigency, Ist party
workman was engaged on daily wages for distribution of dak and receiving stationery etc. work. In 1991, workman
worked for 30 days in Vindyanchal branch as coolie. In 1992, workman was engaged for 72 years at Dhar branch, in
1993, workman was engaged for 81 days at Dhar, during 1992 52 days in Dhar and in 199437 days in Dhar branch.
Workman has not completed 240 days continuous service. Workman was engaged on basis of oral contract. He was not
appointed as regular employee. Temporary employee were given opportunity for regular appointment as per settlement
dated 17-11-87 and other bipartite agreements. Workman though called for interview, he remained absent therefore he
was not considered for appointment as per the advertisement. Writ Petition No. 4811/2000 was filed by workman. As
per order dated 8-3-04, Hon’ble High Court held that workman was not eligible for regular appointment. Whenever
recruitment process is initiated in future, he may submit application alongwith relevant documents of working days.
Workman was engaged for 1-2 hours. Workman is not entitled to scale wages. As no such appointment letter was given
to workman, all adverse contentions of workman are denied reiterating that workman was not regular employee of the
Bank. He was engaged on daily wages as coolie as per exigency of work. Workman was called for interview as per the
settlement but it is denied that workman attended interview. Workman was not found eligible as he was absent for
interview. The submissions w.r.t. order passed by Honble High Court on 28-1-04 are reiterated. Workman was found not
eligible for regular appointment. It is denied that workman as engaged and was paid Rs.1200 per month in 2005. As per
2nd party workman was engaged by canteen management. He was paid Rs.500 per month. Workman was fixed Rs.700
per month by the owner workman was looking after. It has no relevance to the dispute under reference.
4.
Ist party workman submitted rejoinder at Page 10/1 to 10/3 reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.
5.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º
Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 25] 2016@vk"kk<+ 4] 1938
2817
(i) Whether the action of the management of
Dy.General Manager, State Bank of India, Zonal
Office, Hamidia Road, Bhopal in not issuing
appointment letter and paying wages as per scale
wage to Shri Santosh Kumar Sahu is justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
REASONS
6.
The term of reference pertains to not issuing appointment letter and not spaying wages as per pay scale to
Santosh Kumar Sahu is referred. 2nd party has opposed claim of workman filing detailed reply.
7.
Workman filed affidavit of his evidence covering his contentions w.r.t engagement from 24-5-90 to 20-6-91,
21-6-91 to 31-7-92, 11-8-92 to 13-4-93 at different places. Workman was called for interview on 19-2-97 and filing Writ
Petition 4811/00. Order passed by Hon’ble High Court dated 28-1-04. In his cross-examination, workman says post of
messenger was advertised. The advertisement did not disclose the vacant post. He was unable to tell date of
advertisement and name of newspaper. He was called for interview on 19-2-97. The candidates having less number than
him were absorbed. He was engaged on work and disengaged. During 1992 to 1994, he worked in Dhar branch. He was
also working in the Bank during said period. The office bearer of Union told him to come for work at Dhar. Transfer
order was not given to him. During 1992 to 1994, he worked in Head office. He was unable to tell the names by which
he was paid wages. Exhibit W-1 was signed by him for work of coolie. Exhibit W-2 bears his signature regarding
payment of auto charges. Workman has produced documents Exhibit W-3 to W-55 payment vouchers. Those payment
vouchers are of the year 2004.
8.
Management has filed affidavit of evidence of Shri Amal Kumar Majumdar supporting contentions of
management in Written Statement. Management’s witness in his cross examination says in 1991, he was not posted in
Vidyanchal branch. From 1992 to 1994, he was not posted in Dhar branch. After order passed by Hon’ble High Court in
2004, workman was engaged at Marvadi branch. Management’s witness denies that workman had filed proceeding
before RLC for regularization. Before engaging workman, any procedure for selection was not followed. Permission of
Controlling Officer was not obtained. Workman was not given appointment letter. His attendance register was not
maintained. Workman was paid under voucher at prevailing rates of wages. Workman was doing cleaning sweeping
work. Workman was paid rickshaw charges for work of distribution of dak. Management’s witness admitted documents
Exhibit W-3 to W-10, W-11 to W-55. He has no personal knowledge of the matter. As workman was not regular
employee of the Bank, he was not paid scale wages.
9.
At the time of argument, it was emphasized that workman was not given regular appointment as per order
passed by High Court. Ist party workman has not explained under what rule, he is entitled for regular appointment. The
order passed by Hon’ble High Court at Page 3/11 is that in future vacancies, workman was allowed to submit
representation for weightage of past work done. No directions are given for appointment of the workman. Thus the
claim of workman is not supported by any rule. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Affirmative.
10.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

AWARD
Passed on this 4th day of May 2016
1.
As per letter dated 13-5-08 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is
received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section-10 of I.D. Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-
41012/10/2008-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of West Central Railway in terminating the services of Shri Mohanlal
S/o Mangalia w.e.f. 19-8-84 and not regularizing his services when he has worked from 26-10-78 to 18-8-84 is
legal and justified? To what relief he is entitled?”
2.
After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim at Page 3/1
to 3/2. Case of workman is that he was engaged on 26-10-78 under IOW Katni as casual labour. He worked till 18-8-84
for period of 6 years. He completed 240 days working and gained temporary status. Ist party workman further submits
after he obtained temporary status his services should have been regularized. His medical examination was carried. He
passed in B-1 category. Despite of passing medical examination in B-I category, instead of regularizing his services,
workman was retrenched arbitrarily on 19-4-84. He was given assurance that he would be re-engage in next recruitment
of casual employees of Railway. That in 2003, as per order of Railway Board, the scheme of recruitment of ex card
holder casual employees was undertaken. 350 ex-casual labours have been selected and re-engaged. Workman was not
given chance for screening. No intimation was given to him about recruitment. On such ground, workman prays for his
re-engagement with consequential benefits.
3.
2nd party filed Written statement opposing the claim of workman. The contentions of 2nd party in Written
Statement are the dispute is raised after long lapse of time. The record is preserved only for 5 years. The matter is time
barred. As per 2nd party, workman worked as casual labour under IOW Katni. Both the places are isolated. There is no
entry of initial appointment in the record. Workman has narrated wrong facts. The physical fitness certificate No.
155785 dated 16-12-83 does not bears signature of Medical Officer. In casual card produced by workman, last working
is shown 18-8-84. The documents produced by workman are denied that notification dated 30-8-2000 was issued for
updating names of casual/ supply live register to find/ verify how many eligible casual labours were brought in casual
supply live register. After screening of live register by end of 2003 empanelled employees were posted. The case of
workman could not be considered as he had not submitted application in time as per notification dated 30-8-2000.
Workman himself pleaded that he seized to work in 1984. The dispute is raised in 2007 after gap of 23 years. The claim
for regularization of workman is barred by time.
4.
Considering pleadings on record, the points which arise for my consideration and determination are as under.
My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-
(i) Whether the action of the management of West
Central Railway in terminating the services of
Shri Mohanlal S/o Mangalia w.e.f. 19-8-84 and not
regularizing his services when he has worked from
26-10-78 to 18-8-84 is legal and justified?
In Affirmative
(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
Workman is not entitled to any relief.

REASONS
5.
The term of reference pertains to legality of termination and denying regularization to the workman. Workman
filed affidavit of his evidence supporting his contentions in statement of claim. However he failed to appear for his
cross-examination. Management filed affidavit of evidence of witness Krishna Murari. Management’s witness was not
cross-examined by workman. His evidence remained unchallenged. As such workman has not properly participated in
reference proceeding. He failed to appear for his cross-examination. Evidence of management’s witness remained
unchallenged. There is no evidence to support contentions of workman that he worked more than 240 days preceding 12
months of his termination. Workman is not entitled to protection of Section 25-F of ID Act. Workman has not adduced
evidence to substantiate his claim for regularization as casual worker. Therefore I record my finding in Point No.1 in
Affirmative.
6.
Register regarding specimen thumb impression Register produced by 2nd party returned back after 30 days of
publication of award.
7.
In the result, award is passed as under:-
(1)
The action of the management is proper and legal.
(2)
Workman is not entitled to any relief.
