AWARD
Patna, dated : 21st July, 2016
By the adjudication order No.- L-12012/08/2009-IR (B-I) dated- 17.08.2009 the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi has referred under clause (d) of sub-section-(1) and sub-section (2A) of section-10 of the Industrial Dispute Act,1947, (hereinafter to be referred to as ' the Act'), the following dispute between the management of Chairman, Uttar Bihar Kshetriya Gramin Bank, HO: Kalambag Road, Muzaffarpur and their workman Sri Dinesh Kumar Mishra, S/O- Sri Raju Mishra, Gram & Post Ezra, Thana Sangrampur, East Champaran Distt. ( Bihar ) Patna for adjudication to this tribunal:-
" Whether the action of the management of the Uttar Bihar Kshetriya Gramin Bank, Muzaffarpur in not paying the dues and in terminating the service of Sri Sri Dinesh Kumar Mishra, is justified? If not, what relief is the applicant concerned entitled?"
2. Statement of claim has been filed on behalf of the workman stating therein that the Dinesh Kumar Mishra joined the Champaran Chetriya Gramin Bank, Sangrampur Branch as a daily wager on 01.01.2002 and performed different works assigned to him, such as sweeper, waterman, posting of account holders in different ledger, letter drafting etc. he did his duty on the specific direction and specific identification of the branch manager, receiving cheque books from the sponsored bank and also preparation of demand draft for different purposes. After joining he[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5367 performed all the duties assigned to him with best of his ability and to the satisfaction of all concern, He was paid Rs. 15/- per day irregularly. All of a sudden on the oral order of the branch manager of the bank. He was removed from service on daily wage basis w.e.f. 13.08.2005 but the facts remains that the complainant worked there upto 2007, though the bank authorities admitted his working and paid his wages for 22 days in 2006 and only for 7 days in 2007. He made complainant before the Chief Minister. Prior to that bank authorities themselves admitted that workman worked for 141 days in the year 2002, 162 days in 2003, 173 days in 2004 and 199 days in the year 2005. It has been submitted that he worked in the bank since 01.02.2002 upto 13.08.2005 without any interruption and to the satisfaction of all concern but when the complainant made a complain before the Chief Minister, initially the bank took a stand that the workman is not a daily wage worker of the bank. Workman made a complaint before the Chief Minister on 01.12.2006 with respect to non-payment of due wages as well as removing him from the service of the bank. Complaint was sent to the District Magistrate, Motihari. The letter was forwarded to Labour Superintendent, Motihari vide memo No.- 4990 dt- 16.12.2006. Notice were issued to the bank and the workman. Bank refused to accept the workman as daily wager. Labour Superintendent, Motihari, submitted his report vide letter No.- 4990 dated- 16.07.2006 and he referred the matter to Assistant Labour Commissioner, Bettiah for needful. Finally it has been sent before this tribunal vide this reference case. The workman brought stationary from the head quarter on different dates, as stated in the petition/statement of claim in para-7. He has been stated that Labour Superintendent on enquiry found that the petitioner was working on daily wages basis from 2001 upto 13.08.2005.
3. Written statement has been filed on behalf of the management stating therein that workman was never employed by the bank as an employee as such question of his regularization and payment of regular salary do not arise. Branch Manager have taken some works as per need, as and when required for few hours and was paid as per agreed amount. Such engagement cannot be treated to be employment even, of temporary, casual in the Bank. There is no employer-employee relationship with the alleged workman Sri Dinesh Kumar Mishra. Workman has not been able to bring the facts which are conditions precedent for claiming benefit of protection against retrenchment in violation of Section 25F of the I.D.Act,1947. Grievance of payment of normal salary is misconceived.
4. It appears that single witness has been examined on behalf of the workman who is W.W-1 ( Dinesh Kumar Mishra ) workman himself. He has stated that he joined the bank in February 2002 in Champaran Kshetriya Gramin Bank which is now called Uttar Bihar Kshetriya Gramin Bank. He worked from February 2002 to 1`3.08.2005. He was getting @ Rs. 15/- per day. Maximum wages was paid in his own name but some wages was paid in different names and person of that name never worked in bank. He used to go to bank at 09.30 A.M. After arrival of branch manager he used to open the bank and to clean counter, table etc. He used to bring water also. He used to take out cash, token and scroll register and to keep to cash counter. On oral order of branch manager he used to open almirah and to take out ledger, signature card etc. He used to bring stationary from Regional Office, Motihari. His name was mentioned in peon book which has been marked as Ext.-W. He has also proved receipt of brining stationary etc marked as Ext.-W/1. He has also identified Ext.-W/2 which is signature on the letter of General Manager and on the basis of oral order of General Manager he was removed from service w.e.f 13.08.2005. No one appeared to cross-examine this witness.
Counting from Ext.- W & W/1 which are Exts of the workman it appears that Sri Dinesh Kumar Mishra worked from July 2001 till August 2005 but it does not appear that he was working duribg these period continuously and regularly for at least 240 days in any calendar year.
Ext.-W/2 is the letter dt- 25th August 2005 it appears that General Manager has sent letter to Sangrampur branch that inspite of specific direction the head office has not to engaged labourer. On daily wages work is taking from Dinesh Kumar Mishra. From Ext.-W/2 is does not appear that work was taken from Dinesh Kumar Mishra and he worked in the bank for 240 days in any calendar year.
From Ext.- W/5 it appears that branch manager, Sangrampur has sent letter to Regional Manager of the bank, details of the wages paid to Dinesh Kumar Mishra from 9th March 2002 to 10th January 2007.
5. From the evidence of M.W-1 Anil Kumar Sinha it appears that in the year 1991 there was award of National Industrial Tribunal and thereafter service of many persons were regularized. He has stated that Ext.-W/1 is peon book for service for correspondence, it appears that name of Dinesh Kumar is mentioned who has carried the letter but from evidence of M.W-1 it does not appear that Dinesh Kumar Mishra has worked for 240 days. M.W-1 does not support the case of workman.
6. Similarly M.W-2 & M.W-3 also does not support the case of workman. Nothing has been gathered infavour of workman in cross-examination of this witness.
AWARD
7. Since workman failed to bring on record the facts that he worked in service of bank for 240days in any calendar year. Hence he did not became protected workers in view of section-25F of the I.D.Act,1947. In the result it is held that5368 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] the action of the management of Uttar Bihar Kshetriya Gramin Bank, Muzaffarpur is not paying the dues and in terminating the service of Sri Dinesh Kumar Mishra was justified because Sri Dinesh Kumar Mishra has not become protected workman. So any notice or compensation need not to be paid to him by the management.
So far payment of dues is concerned this tribunal cannot pass order under the provision of Payment of Wages Act. For payment of wages or dues Sri Dinesh Kumar Mishra who should move the appropriate forum but his termination cannot be questioned in the eye of law.
This is my award accordingly.

L-12012/360/90–IR.B(II) dated 06.03.1991 has been pleased to refer the following dispute for adjudication by this Tribunal.
SCHEDULE
"Whether the action of the management of Allahabad Bank, Ukhra Branch, District Burdwan in dismissing Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj, Peon-cum-Farrash with effect from 03.09.1987 is justified. If not to what relief the workman concerned is entitled?"
1. Having received the Order NO. L-12012/360/90–IR.B(II) dated 06.03.1991 of the above said reference from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, a reference case No. 07 of 1991 was registered on 14.03.1991. Accordingly an order to that effect was passed to issue notices through the registered post to the parties concerned, directing them to appear in the court, on the date fixed and to file their written statements along with the relevant documents and a list of witnesses in support of their claims. In pursuance of the said order notices by the registered post were sent to the parties concerned. Both the parties appeared in the Tribunal, through their representative.
2. The delinquent workman Sri Sunil Kumar Roos has stated, in brief, in his Written Statement that he was appointed on permanent post in Peon cum Farrash vide letter No. R.O./Staff/4845 dated 13.06.1977 in Allahabad bank at Gourhati Branch. On basis of mutual transfer in place of Sri Prabir Mukherjee he joined at Ukhra Branch of Allahabad Bank on 06.08.1980. He has described the duties of Daftry as defined in Clause (VII) of part II under settlement dated 19.10.1966 between the representative of workman and Indian Bank Association in banking industry. Sri Mahendra Rai the then manager of the bank lodged a written complaint on 26.08.1989 that some one withdrew Rs.12,400/- (Rupees Twelve Thousand Four Hundred only) from Saving Bank Account No. 1371 by forging signature of Sri Tej Narayan Singh on different dates which was detected by the pass book of Sri Tej Narayan Singh. The police started investigation and arrested the delinquent Sri Sunil Kumar Roos. Sri S. K. Roos was suspended at the whisper of the said branch manager on 11.11.1983. The Judicial Magistrate of Burdwan released Sri Sunil Kumar Roos on bail. Sri Sunil Kumar Roos by letter requested the bank to join his duties but management did not paid heed to his request. Sri Sunil Kumar Roos was charge sheeted and suspended by letter dated 31.10.1984. Sri Sunil Kumar Roos in his reply to the charge sheet refused all the charges against him. Management was not satisfied by the reply submitted by Sri Sunil Kumar Roos and consequently appointed Sri I. K. Sinha, Personal Officer of the Bank to enquire into the charges levelled against Sri Sunil Kumar Roos. Sri Ashok Kumar Singh, General Secretary of All India Allahabad Bank Association was allowed to represent the delinquent. During course of enquiry several witness were examined on behalf of the management. None of the witnesses deposed that he personally saw Sri Sunil Kumar Roos taking withdrawal forms, obtaining permission on it of the branch manager. Ledger Keepers did not see the delinquent issuing tokens and entering the said withdrawal forms in the ledger. The passing officers passed the said withdrawal forms by tallying the signature of the customers with the specimen signature cards kept by the bank in the Methodex Cabinet. The Methodex Cabinets are kept under the control of officers, which can not be handled by other employees except passing officers and the manager. As per rule and practice the Methodex cabinets are kept under lock and key after operating hours of bank. In the enquiry proceeding none deposed that he has seen Sri Sunil Kumar Roos taking original specimen signature cards and replacing it with forged signature cards. The Branch Manager did not say that those signature cards do not contain his initials / signatures. The said forged specimen signature cards are not brought on record of enquiry. There is nothing on the record that Sri Sunil Kumar Roos stole the Cheque form the customer and5372 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] withdrew money from his account. The Handwriting Expert is not a qualified person he used to procure business form the bank and gave his opinion which suited his client. He was supplied photocopies of the documents to form his opinion. His opinion can not be taken as conclusive proof of evidence. In criminal case the Investigating Officer submitted final report before Sub-Judicial Magistrate. There was nothing transpired against Sri Sunil Kumar Roos. Sub-Judicial Magistrate exonerated Sri Sunil Kumar Roos of all the charges against him, but the Enquiry Officer ignored the finding of the court and continued departmental enquiry against him. The Enquiry Officer was biased. He did not apply his mind on evidence on record and gave his finding which was not based on the record of the enquiry. Without appreciating the evidence on the record the Enquiry Officer held Sri Sunil Kumar Roos guilty of all the charges. The Disciplinary Authority also acted mechanically and did not apply his mind at all. Sri Sunil Kumar Roos was dismissed from service with immediate effect vide letter dated 08.01.1987. The dismissal of Sri Sunil Kumar Roos is unlawful, unfair and unjustified. He has prayed that the Tribunal may kindly pass the award holding that dismissal of Sri Sunil Kumar Roos is unjustified. He has prayed for his reinstatement in service from the date of his arrest from 11.11.1983 with full pay with 18% of Interest till his re-instatement with all other benefits. He has also prayed to award cost for his harassment and suffering.
3. The Manager, Ukhra branch Allahabad Bank district Burdwan has filed Written Statement denying allegations of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz. The bank has stated that Written Statement of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz is not maintainable. He has further stated that Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz the concerned workman committed several defalcation of money from 21.03.1983 to 20.07.1983 by forging signature of different account holders of the said branch of Allahabad bank. Therefore on 18.05.1983 and 26.05.1983 two separate FIRs were lodged at Andal Police Station. The Investigating Officer did not diligently investigate the case. The Investigating Officer submitted final report on 03.04.1985 without taking specimen signature of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz. Investigating officer without getting the disputed signature of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz and accepted signature of the workman for examination by handwriting expert filed final report, which can not be relied upon any way. The management of the Bank after receiving complaint from at least 3 account holders and on feeling that there has been a gross violation of the department rules and in-action on the part of Police Authority held enquiry. The management of the Bank issued charge sheet to the delinquent on 31.10.1984 and called upon Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz to submit explanation. The workman by his reply dated 12.11.1984 denied the allegations against him. The Disciplinary Authority being unsatisfied on the explanation of the concerned workman passed necessary orders for a departmental enquiry against Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz. The Disciplinary Authority appointed Sri I. K. Sinha, the Enquiry Officer and Sri Hardeo Singh as Presenting Officer by Order dated 22.11.1984. After issuance of notice to the delinquent the enquiry commenced on 29.12.1984. The workman concerned together with his defence representative Sri Ashok Kumar Singh, General Secretary, All India Allahabad Bank Indian Staff Association participated in the enquiry proceeding. The concerned workman was given plenty of opportunities to inspect / verify the documents submitted by the Presenting Officer in support of the charges and he was allowed to produce list of witnesses in his defence. The representative of the workman concerned participated in cross-examination of the management witness and examining the Presenting Officer. The workman has been given all reasonable and sufficient opportunity to defend himself in compliance of Natural Justice. The Enquiry Officer submitted his enquiry report on 17.11.1986 before the Disciplinary Authority. Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz, the concerned workman was held guilty of all 15 charges levelled against him. The workman was held guilty for gross misconduct within the Para-19.5(J) of 1st Bipartite Settlement dated 19.10.1966. The Disciplinary Authority after considering the report of enquiry officer and after analyzing the evidence in respect of each charge against the workman, held the workman guilty of misconduct in terms of Para-19.5(J) of the 1st Bipartite Settlement, 1966. On 02.12.1986 in terms of Para-19.6(c) of the said settlement issued Show Cause notice to the concerned workman. Sri Sunil Kumar Rooz submitted his reply on 16.12.1986 to such Show Cause Notice which did not satisfied the Disciplinary Authority, as the concerned workman failed to substantiate his plea in his reply to such Show Cause Notice. The concerned workman was held guilty of gross misconduct in terms of the Para-19.5(J) of 1st Bipartite Settlement, 1966. The workman was punished in terms of the para-19.6(a) of the said settlement. The workman and his association preferred an appeal against the Order of Disciplinary Authority. Disciplinary Authority after allowing a personal hearing of the parties on 03.07.1987 confirmed the order of Disciplinary Authority. There is no lacuna in the enquiry proceeding. The departmental enquiry is not perverse. The enquiry was conducted by the Enquiry Officer in strict conformity with rules and procedure. The punishment imposed on the delinquent workman is quite proportionate to the gross misconduct committed by the delinquent workman. The bank has prayed that workman is not entitled to any relief. The reference is likely to be rejected.
4. The workman has filed rejoinder Written Statement he has reiterated the allegation of his Written Statement. He has alleged that statement contained in the Written Statement of the Bank is based on distortion of facts. He has stated that the Enquiry Officer was biased. He did not properly appreciate the evidence on record. Enquiry Officer submitted his finding on conjecture and guess. The Enquiry Officer has relied on the evidence of unqualified Handwriting Expert which was a paid man and not an independent person. The Enquiry Officer did not act judicially. The Appellate Authority acted in mechanical manner. The management of Allahabad Bank has twisted the facts. He has been made Escape Goat. He is innocent person.

Beside that Allahabad Bank has filed original enquiry file before the Tribunal. Allahabad Bank has examined Sri I. K. Sinha, Enquiry Officer as MW-1 he has been cross-examined by the workman.
7. Sri A. N. Pal the learned union representative appeared on behalf of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj and Sri M. K. Bandopadhyay the learned advocate appeared on behalf of the Allahabad Bank. Both the parties have filed their written arguments. Besides I have heard the argument of both the parties in person.
8. The representative of the workman Sri A. N. Pal has cited following case law in his support (i) Union of India v/s H. C. Goel, AIR 1964 SC 364, (ii) Surath Chandra Chakrabarty v/s State of West Bengal, AIR 1971 Supreme Court Page 752 and (iii) M. V. Bijlani v/s Union of India and others (2006) 5 Supreme Court Cases 88
9. The learned representative of the workman has argued that the charge sheet has been issued to the workman in contradiction to the established norms with bias and with a predetermined mind and pre-concluded mindset that the accused is actually guilty of the charges levelled against him. The charge sheet is silent on the charges levelled against the said accused in respect of the 'fraudulent withdrawal'. The charge sheet is devoid of any charges against the accused in respect of any anomaly or discrepancy or fraud committed by the accused in the process of withdrawal. The process of withdrawal is that cheque is presented before the Counter Clerk after duly filling it. The Counter clerk on verification of the particulars in the said cheque and being satisfied therewith issues a token to the drawer after endorsing the said token number on the presented cheque along with his initial, the same in then forwarded to the Passing Officer after posting the details in the Ledger Book. The Passing Officer verifies the cheque and tallies the signature of the cheque with the signature of the drawer with the bank kept in the safe custody of the Passing Officer in the Methodex Box designated for keeping signature of the customer of the bank. Upon full satisfaction the Passing Officer conformed the ledger entry by his initial and send the cheque to the Cash Counter. Cashier then calls for the token holder though the token number depicted in the cheque and allows the token holder to receive the money against the said cheque. The Token Holder after accepting the payment puts his signature on the reverse said of the cheque then cashier noted down the details in the payment register. The charge sheet fails to provide any material as to any fraud committed by the accused in respect of withdrawal. The Investigating Officer submitted final report in criminal case against the workman. The Sub-Divisional Magistrate exonerated Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj against the charges in criminal case. The enquiry officer was biased. His finding is based on conductor and surmises without any evidence on record. The Enquiry Officer has exceeded his authority and framed excess charge in enquiry for which accused was not charge sheeted. The accused has no access to the Methodex Box which was in complete custody of the Officer. Even the Clerical Staff has no access to the Methodex Box. Due to shortage of staff the accused was directed by superior to issue the tokens and post entry in the Ledger. None of the witnesses deposed that they saw accused filling the particular of the withdrawal form i.e. M/46 and M/42. The Enquiry Officer failed to appreciate the delay of the bank in lodging the complaint in police. There are 2 parallel proceedings against the accused; one the Criminal Proceeding and another is5374 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] the Departmental Proceeding. The FIR was lodged after delay of 23 days and even accused was not named in the FIR. The Enquiry Officer has not considered the final report which has been filed by the Investigating Officer against the accused. Even the Enquiry Officer did not consider the fact that the accused was exonerated in criminal charge by the S.D.M. Court. The entire proceeding is based on conjectures, surmises and without any proper appreciation of evidence against the accused in departmental proceeding.
10. On the other hand the learned advocate Sri M. K. Bandopadhyay of Allahabad Bank has argued that Written Statement filed by the workman is not maintainable because workman or his union representative has not put his seal and signature in his Written Statement. The account holders of Ukhra Branch of Ukhra Branch (i) Sri Tej Narayan Singh, Account No. SB 1371, (ii) Sri Sidheswar Sarkar, Account No. SB 3747 and (iii) Golam Mostafa, Account No. SB 3745 made a complaint about the defalcation of money from their respective account. In view of the complaint Bank Authority investigated the matter as per the established procedure with complying the Principle of Natural Justice. After investigation it was found that Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj was involved in the above mentioned defalcation matter and accordingly the bank lodged 2 FIRs on 18.05.1983 and 26.05.1983 at Andal Police Station. Further an enquiry was initiated and charge sheet dated 31.10.1984 vide Ref. No. ROII/INS/FF3066 was issued to Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj specifying the charges and seeking his explanation which was replied by Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj. During enquiry Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj admitted in his disposition that he was performing the duties of Daftry as well as Clerical duty apart form his normal duty of Peon cum Farrash. The argument of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj is baseless that the Handwriting Expert is un-qualified person. The Handwriting Expert is expert in his job. Dismissed employee was given sufficient opportunity to cross-examine the management witnesses and to defend himself during enquiry proceeding. Enquiry was conducted in strict compliance of rules and Principles of Natural Justice. The Enquiry Officer has conduct enquiry in full compliance of Natural Justice. There are no latches and lapses in enquiry proceeding by the Enquiry Officer. All 15 witnesses examined by the management have proved the misconduct of the workman. The Handwriting Expert has deposed that signature on withdrawal from is of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj. The Disciplinary Authority after carefully perusing the report of Enquiry Officer held Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj guilty for gross misconduct for fraudulently withdrawing money form the Account Holders. The delinquent was issued Show Cause Notice. The Disciplinary Authority considered the explanation of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj. Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj failed to submit any satisfactory reply to Disciplinary Authority to show cause notice. Therefore considering the gravity of gross misconduct the Disciplinary Authority passed the Dismissal Order vide letter dated 08.01.1987. The workman filed an appeal before the Appellate Authority, but appeal was rejected. The punishment imposed on delinquent is quite proportionate.
11. I have heard the argument of both side and perused the written argument and record of reference.
12. It is admitted fact by both the parties to reference that delinquent workman Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj was in permanent employment of Allahabad Bank at Ukhra Branch on post of Peon cum Farrash before dismissal. The delinquent workman has been charge sheeted by Allahabad Bank by Ref. No. RO-II/Ins/FF/003066 dated 31.10.1984. The concerned workman has been charge sheeted on 15 counts. From perusal of charge sheet it is apparent that he has been charge sheeted for forged withdrawal of money Rs. 1000/- on 21.03.1983, Rs. 1500/- on 29.03.1983, Rs. 2000/- on 16.04.1983, Rs. 4000/- on 10.05.1983 and Rs. 2000/- on 21.05.1983 total Rs. 10,500/- from Account No. SB3747 stands in the name of Sri Sidheswar Sarkar ; Rs. 4000/- on 25.04.1983, Rs.5000/- on 29.04.1983, Rs. 2500/- on 05.05.1983 and Rs. 900/- on 01.06.1983 Total Rs.12400/- from Account No. SB1379 stands in the name of Sri Tej Narayan Singh ; Rs. 5000/- on 07.06.1983, Rs. 4000/- on 10.06.1983, Rs. 4000/- on 13.06.1983, Rs. 3000/- on 22.06.1983, Rs. 3000/- on 04.07.1983, and Rs. 2500/- on 20.07.1983 Total Rs. 21,500/- from Account No. SB3745 stands in the name of Golam Mostafa.
13. In argument, delinquent Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj has described the procedure, for withdrawal of cash from bank. In this way, he has tried to demonstrate the infeasibility of withdrawal of money by himself. He has challenged the departmental enquiry being devoid of natural justice and non-consideration of his exoneration in criminal case by court and non-consideration of his defence evidence. Besides, he has also challenged the admissibility of evidence of Handwriting Expert.
14. Form perusal of enquiry proceeding, it is manifest that enquiry proceeding was held in 48 dates, from 29.12.1984 to 16.08.1996, in presence of both the parties. The Presenting Officer has examined 15 management witnesses for proving the charges of delinquent Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj namely ; (i) Sri Ashim Kumar Saha – MW1, (ii) Sri A. K. Ganguly – MW2, (iii) Sri M. P. Kundu – MW3, (iv) Sri Sujit Kumar Roy – MW4, (v) Sri M.N.Rai – MW5, (vi) Sri Chandrashekhar Saha – MW6, (vii) Sri Ashok Kumar Mandal – MW7, (viii) Sri Subikash Sengupta – MW8, (ix) Sri Bikash Mandal – MW9, (x) Sri Tej Narayan Singh – MW10, (xi) Sri Sidheswar Sarkar – MW11, (xii) Sri Mahadeo Das – MW12, (xiii) Sri Golam Mostafa – MW13, (xiv) Sri T. K. Deb – MW14, (xv) Sri Bholanath Ganguly, Handwriting Expert – MW15.
The delinquent Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj has been afforded opportunity to cross-examine all the management witnesses. The delinquent workman, Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj has cross-examined all the management witnesses. The Enquiry Officer has permitted the delinquent to be assisted by co-worker of his choice namely, Sri A. K. Singh, the[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5375 union representative. On all dates of enquiry proceeding Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj was present. The Enquiry Officer has recorded evidence, for each charge, separately. The Enquiry Officer has, in his wisdom, recorded his separate finding for each charge. During enquiry proceeding the delinquent employee Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj has admitted in his deposition that he was performing the duties of Daftry as well as Clerical duties at Page-22 of Enquiry Report apart from his normal duties of Peon cum Farrash. Other witnesses have also confirmed this fact in their deposition. The delinquent has also admitted this fact in his written argument. Sri Bholanath Ganguly, the Handwriting Expert who has been examined by Enquiry Officer as MW-15 was engaged for examining the signature of the delinquent with the relevant payment vouchers and other documents and to give report in details about his examination. Sri Bholanath Ganguly, the Handwriting Expert has stated that, "I hold the opinion that the writing of the Four Leave Application of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj, charged employee, and the writers of the signatures in the withdrawals are the same person." This document has been exhibited as M5. The opinion of Handwriting Expert is admissible under section 45 of Evidence Act. After conclusion of enquiry the Enquiry Officer has recorded finding that charges from 1 to 15 are proved and in every charge Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj, the charge sheeted employee is guilty. The Enquiry Officer submitted his enquiry report on 17.11.1986 and observed in his report that "All the transgressions on the part of the charged employee are deemed gross misconduct within the meaning of Para-19.5(J) of the 1st Bipartite Settlement dated 19.10.1966." Before submission of Enquiry Report the Enquiry Officer has considered the defence evidence of Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj.
15. On careful perusal of Enquiry Proceeding, Evidence and Enquiry Report it is evident that the Enquiry Officer has conducted the departmental enquiry in full compliance of natural justice. Before passing order of dismissal the competent authority has issued 2nd Show Cause Notice. After receiving explanation of the delinquent Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj before passing Dismissal Order he gave personal hearing to Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj. The Allahabad Bank has examined Sri I. K. Sinha as MW1 in the Tribunal on point of fairness of enquiry. Sri I. K. Sinha the Enquiry Officer has proved the enquiry proceeding on fairness of enquiry. Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj has cross-examined the MW1, Sri I. K. Sinha on 11.04.1997 and 03.09.1997 in the Tribunal. The learned predecessor of this Tribunal has decided the question of fairness of enquiry as preliminary point on 03.09.1997. The learned predecessor has passed the order on order sheet dated 03.09.1997 and has held that " There is no invalidity in the enquiry proceeding." The argument of learned union representative on behalf of workman Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj has no force.
16. Hon'ble Supreme Court in Nirmala J. Jhala v/s State of Gujarat and other, 2013 LAB. I.C. 2113 has held that :
"The disciplinary proceedings are not a criminal trial, and in spite of the fact that same are quasi-judicial and
quasi-criminal, doctrine of proof beyond reasonable doubt, dose not applies in such cases, but the principle of
preponderance of probabilities would apply. The court has to see whether there is evidence on record to reach
the conclusion that the delinquent had committed a misconduct."
17. Hon'ble Supreme Court Commissioner of Police, New Delhi v/s Narender Singh, 2006 (109) FLR 852 has held that :
"Law is well settled that if an employee has been acquitted of criminal charge, the same by itself would not be a
ground not to initiate a departmental proceeding against him or to drop the same in the event and order of
acquittal is passed."
18. In view of Hon'ble Apex Court exoneration in criminal case by court will not afford opportunity to claim non- prosecution in departmental proceeding. The object of criminal proceeding in court and departmental proceeding by department are different. The object of prosecution in criminal proceeding in court is to punish the offender for his alleged act of crime, whereas the object of departmental proceeding is to cure civil wrong and to punish for his misconduct by pursuing rules in particular department. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also opined that evidence in departmental proceeding need not to be proved like a criminal case. In criminal case the guilt of accused is proved by evidence to the hilt of beyond reasonable doubt. But concept of 'beyond reasonable' doubt is not applicable to departmental enquiry. Every establishment lays down certain rules and regulations apart form the Government's rules and regulations for better, effective and efficient working of the establishment. For such purpose an establishment also constitutes its own rules as per the provision of Labour and Industrial Laws so as to punish these employees who commits any wrong or misconduct under the course of employment. Disciplinary proceeding will judge the degree and consequences of misconduct committed by an employee. The concept of misconduct on the part of an employee arises out of the terms and conditions, the contract of service and is intimately connected with the rules of discipline and rules and regulation governing their employment. Any act in violation of such rules and regulation will be a misconduct. If an employee fails to perform work at the command or order of his superior and in the method or manner he requires to do, the employee is guilty of misconduct and the misconduct then constitutes justification for punishment. The said punishment may take various forms i.e. warning, demotion, fine, stoppage of increment,5376 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] discharge and dismissal from service depending upon the gravity of the misconduct committed by the employee during course of employment.
19. Karnataka Bank Limited v/s A. L. Mohan Rao (2006) 1 SCC 63 :
In this case the delinquent employee was charged that he had colluded with one of the branch managers and enabled grant of fictitious loan. The Hon'ble High Court interfered with the punishment of dismissal and ordered re- instatement on sympathetic ground even when misconduct was proved. The Hon'ble Supreme Court reversed the judgment of Hon'ble High Court and held that court should not be guided by misplaced sympathy.
20. The present case at hand, the misconduct of delinquent is rather more serious. He has deliberately taken unauthorized withdrawal of cash from account of different depositors for his wrongful gain.
21. The delinquent workman has relied on Union of India v/s H. C. Goel, AIR 1964 SC 364 the Hon'ble Supreme Court has held that :
" Findings of facts recorded by an enquiry officer entrusted with the work of holding a departmental enquiry
into misconduct of Government servant under Rule 55 of the Civil Services (Classification, Control and Appeal)
Rules are not binding on the Government. The view on evidence adduced against the Government servant and
proceed on the basis that the conclusions of fact recorded by the enquiry officer were unsound and erroneous.
Consequently where the enquiry officer has made a report in favour of the Government servant but the
Government taking a contrary view issues a second notice which subsequently results in the dismissal of the
government servant, the action of the Government cannot be said to be in contravention of the constitutional
safeguards afforded by Act 311 (1) and (2) of the Constitution. "
22. The delinquent workman has relied on Surath Chandra Chakrabarty v/s State of West Bengal, AIR 1971 Supreme Court Page 752 :
In this case the departmental enquiry was conducted against Assistant Director of Fire Services and Regional Officer Calcutta Industrial Area. The proceeding was conducted under Fundamental Rule 55 of Central Service (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules. The appellant delinquent was not supplied the statement of allegations for which he repeatedly requested to supply, charges were extremely vague and indefinite. In spite of this he was not informed about the fact and circumstances and particulars. Appellant delinquent was denied a proper and reasonable chance to defend himself the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that there was violation of rules.
23. The delinquent workman has relied on M. V. Bijlani v/s Union of India and others (2006) 5 Supreme Court Cases 88 :
In this case disciplinary proceeding was initiated after 6 years of incident. Even though departmental enquiry concluded in seven years, the Enquiry Officers ignored the statement of witness which was against the department. Enquiry Officer wrongly relied on police report which was not even proved. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in view the fact directed the re-instatement of delinquent with 50 % back wages.
24. I have perused the case law on which reliance has been place by Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj. I am in respectful agreement with the view propounded by the Hon'ble Apex Court. But the facts of present reference are quite different from the facts of the case law relied by Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj.
25. It has been proved in departmental enquiry by the management of Allahabad Bank against the concerned workman Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj that Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj held a place of trust and confidence. While discharging the duties of Peon cum Farrash due to shortage of staff he was performing the Clerical duties. While holding such a position he was in a position to manipulate the documents. He withdrew the cash from the Account holders of the bank by forging the relevant documents. He defalcated the money from account of respective account holders for his personal wrongful gain and for wrongful loss to the bank. He lost the confidence of management of bank by his misconduct. Therefore management of Allahabad Bank dispensed with the services of delinquent because in the opinion of the management to continue the delinquent further in the service would not only be embarrassing but would be detrimental to the interest of functioning of bank as well as security to the establishment. The Financial Institutions like banks are public sector undertaking. They are custodian of public money and are consequently accountable to public, for their deposits in bank. If such defalcation of money and forgery go unpunished by department, not only the functioning of bank could be jeopardized but faith of public will also shatter. Keeping in view the gravity of misconduct of delinquent Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj the punishment of dismissal from service is quite proportionate to the proven guilt and does not require interference by Tribunal.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 537726. In view of discussion above, the action of management of Allahabad Bank, Ukhra Branch, District - Burdwan, in dismissing Sri Sunil Kumar Rooj Peon cum Farrash, w.e.f. 03.09.1987 is justified. The workman concerned is not entitled to any relief.

3. On receipt of the Industrial Dispute this Tribunal numbered it as IDs 118/2014, 119/2014, 120/2014, 122/2014 and 4/2015 and issued notices to both sides. Both sides entered appearance through their counsel and filed Claim and Counter Statement respectively.
4. The averments in the Claim Statement filed by the petitioner in ID 118/2014 are as below:
The Respondent had taken over the entire Container Handling Operation of Chennai Port Trust in 2001 for a period of 30 years. Initially the Respondent Company was incorporated by P&O Ports, Australia. In 2006 it was transferred to DP World. It has been handling container terminal operations in 5 Ports viz. Chennai Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd., India Gateway Terminal Pvt. Ltd., Mundra International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd., Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. and Visakha Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. The petitioner joined service of the Respondent as Checker in December, 2001. In May 2005 there was strike by more than 400 workmen of the Respondent. In order to weaken the bargaining power of the workmen the Respondent gave namesake promotions to some of them as Junior Officer Grade-I. The Respondent did not mention the nature of work to be discharged in the post of Officer. The petitioner was designated as Junior Officer on 01.06.2005. In spite of this, he continued to do the work of Checker. There was some slight increase in the pay of the petitioner. In April 2011 the petitioner was designated as Officer. After this also he was doing the work of Checker. The Operators who joined as Checker with the petitioner are drawing more salary though they continue to enjoy the protection of the Industrial Disputes Act. Since the Respondent was adopting dual standards in wage pattern the employees joined Madras Port Trust Employees Union to ventilate their grievances. On 14.02.2013 the Union placed a Charter of Demands stating that the benefits of the settlement dated 19.01.2011 entered into between the Respondent and CCTEU should be extended to the so-called Supervisory Staff / Officers also. As the Respondent failed to accede to the demands of the Union a strike notice was given. On 17.07.2013 the Union furnished a list of members to the Conciliation Officer and requested him to direct the Respondent to protect the service conditions of the workmen during the pendency of the proceedings. The Respondent who came to know that the petitioner had joined HMS Union transferred him to Mundra International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. w.e.f. 01.08.2013 and gave time to join the said terminal till 14.08.2013. This malafide transfer was brought to the notice of the Conciliation Officer. The Conciliation Officer directed the Respondent to maintain status-5380 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] quo. But the Respondent sent a letter on 06.08.2013 stating that action will be taken if the transfer order is not obeyed. The transferred workers including the petitioner moved the High Court by filing Writ petition No. 22492/2013. When the matter came up for hearing the Respondent withdrew the transfer order. Instead of directing the petitioner to report for duty at Chennai the Respondent issued an order of termination on 21.04.2014. The petitioner sent a representation to the Respondent stating that the transfer is against the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. It sent a reply justifying the stand on the ground of surplus manpower in Chennai. The termination of the petitioner from service is contrary to the Section-33 of the Industrial Disputes Act and is in violation of Section-25(G), 25(H) and 25(F) of the Act. The action of the Respondent in transferring the petitioner is contrary to the terms of the Appointment Order. The Respondent cannot transfer a workman to another terminal without the consent of the workman as each terminal are separate entities. While terminating the petitioner, the Respondent has retained most of the juniors. The action of the Respondent in terminating the petitioner amounts to retrenchment. An Award may be passed directing the Respondent to reinstate the petitioner in service with backwages, continuity of service and all attendant benefits.
5. The Respondent has filed Counter Statement contending as below:
The dispute is not maintainable as the petitioner is not a workman under Section-2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The petitioner was working as Documentation Supervisor in Management Cadre and is not a workman. The petitioner was earlier working as Checker. Lastly he was working as Documentation Supervisor in the Operations Department of the Respondent. Four employees including contract employees were working directly under him. He was personally supervising the work. As per the HR Policy and Procedure Manual of the Respondent inter-terminal transfer of employees in management cadre are in vogue. Transfer is one of the conditions as per Clause-2 and Clause- 15 of the Promotion letter issued to the petitioner. The petitioner having been working in Management cadre, he is liable to be transferred. The service conditions of the Officers are different from the service conditions of the workman category. The petitioner who had joined service in the Respondent on 14.12.2001 as Checker continued to work as Checker till 2005. The petitioner was promoted as Junior Officer in May 2005. Later he was elevated to the post of Officer based on performance appraisal. The petitioner had several duties as Documentation Supervisor. Due to reduction in the volume of business handled by the Respondent in Chennai it was decided that instead of terminating the services of persons identified in Officers category they could be utilized in the subsidiary companies if they accept and if not they could be considered for discharge. Some other terminals where the Respondent was doing business have increase in the volume of business so it was decided to accommodate the surplus Officers in the other terminals. The petitioner who was in officer's category and found surplus was transferred to Nhava Sheva International Terminal, Mumbai on 25.07.2013. The petitioner and four others who were transferred raised dispute before the Conciliation Officer on 30.07.2013. In the meanwhile, they moved the High Court by a Writ Petition on the pretext that they are workmen. An ex-parte order was passed in favour of the petitioner staying the transfer. The Respondent Management issued a letter to the petitioner and other transferred employees on 19.08.2013 informing them that they will be treated as on the rolls of Chennai Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd., Chennai though they need not report for duty. Later the Respondent moved a petition seeking permission to terminate the services of the employees who had refused to accept the order of transfer. The High Court observed that permission is not necessary for further action as it is for the Respondent to take a decision. The Respondent thereafter decided to terminate the service of the petitioner. The petitioner is not entitled to any relief.
6. The petitioner has filed a rejoinder denying the allegations in the Counter Statement and reiterating his case in the Claim Statement.
7. The petitioner in ID 119/2014 had joined the service of the Respondent as Serviceman on 10.10.2001. He was transferred by the Respondent to Mundra International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. This petitioner also has alleged in his Claim Statement that consequent to the strike in the establishment in May 2005 the operations of the establishment had come to a halt and later in order to weaken the bargaining power of the workmen he was given namesake promotion as officer Grade-I and later promoted as Officer and subsequently as Senior Officer but all along he was discharging the work of Serviceman itself. Since the petitioner refused to comply with the order of transfer he is said to have been terminated from service on 21.04.2014. This petitioner also has claimed the relief of reinstatement in service with backwages and other benefits.
8. The petitioner in ID 120/2014 had joined the service of the Respondent as Checker in May 2005. He was also promoted as Junior Officer in March 2006 and as Officer in February 2008. In 2010 he was given the designation of Senior Officer. This petitioner has also stated in the Claim statement that he was discharging the work of Checker only all along in spite of the namesake promotions. He was transferred to Nheva Sheva International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. He refused to oblige the order of transfer and he was terminated from service. This petitioner also has claimed that he was all along a workman only and was not liable to be transferred and that his termination from service is by way of victimization. He has also claimed the relief of reinstatement with backwages and other attendant benefits.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 53819. The petitioner in ID 122/2014 also had joined the service of the Respondent as Checker on 15.10.2011. He was promoted as Junior Officer in 2005, as Officer in 2010 and as Senior Officer in 2012 with some slight hike in the salary. This petitioner was also transferred to Nheva Sheva International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. This petitioner also has been terminated from service after he refused to comply with the order of transfer. He too has claimed that he comes under the workman category in spite of namesake promotions and was not liable to be transferred and that his termination is not legal and he is entitled to be reinstated in service with backwages and other attendant benefits.
10. The petitioner in ID 4/2015 had joined the service of the Respondent as Checker on 04.10.2001. He was designated as Operator RTG in 2005 and was asked to discharge the work of Checker at times of need. In 2009 he was designated as Junior Officer but continued to do the work of Checker. He was also transferred to Mundra International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. Subsequently he was terminated from service by order dated 21.04.2014. This petitioner has also contended that he was all along a workman and his termination is illegal and he is entitled to be reinstated in service with backwages and other attendant benefits.
11. In all the other IDs the Respondent had filed Counter Statement raising contentions similar to those raised in ID 118/2014.
12. The five IDs were decided to be tried jointly as the Respondent in all the IDs is the same and the issues to be decided in all the petitions also are similar.
13. The evidence was recorded in ID 118/2014 treating this as the main case. The evidence consists of oral evidence of WW1 and MW1 and MW2 and also documents marked as Ext.W1 to Ext.W189 and Ext.M1 to Ext.M214.
14. The points for consideration are:
(i) Whether the termination of the petitioner in the respective IDs is legal and justifiable? (ii) What, if any is the relief to which each of the petitioners are entitled?
The Points
15. The five petitioners have raised independent disputes consequent to their termination from service from the Respondent establishment on 21.04.2014. All the petitioners have joined the establishment in the year 2001, four of them as Checkers and one as Serviceman. At the time of termination they were working as Officers, the petitioner in ID 118/2014 and ID 4/2015 as Junior Officer and the petitioner in ID 119/2014, ID 120/2014 and ID 122/2014 as Senior Officer.
16. The petitioners have specifically stated in their respective Claim Statements that though they were given the designation of Officers, they were not working in any supervisory or managerial capacity but always continued to do the same work as they were doing immediately after their appointment and they continued to be workmen as defined in the Industrial Disputes Act. They have stated that though they were given promotions, they were name sake with some slight increase in the pay-scale but this was done only to weaken the bargaining capacity of the employees and they continued to work as earlier, in spite of the promotions. The Respondent had resisted this contention in the Counter Statement stating that none of the petitioners were workmen as defined in Section-2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act at the time of the termination but they were working as Officers in Management cadre. According to the Respondent, the petitioners being in Managerial cadre the dispute is not maintainable before this Tribunal.
17. In view of the rival contentions put forth by the parties the initial question to be considered is whether the petitioners were workmen to whom the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act are applicable at the time of their termination. Only if the answer is in the affirmative there is necessity to probe into the merits of the other contentions raised by the parties.
18. Suresh Kumar, the petitioner in ID 118/2014 had been promoted as Junior Officer in 2005 and as Officer in 2010 and was working in the Operation Department at the time of the termination. Harikrishnan, the petitioner in ID 119/2014 was also promoted as Officer in 2005 and as Senior Officer in 2007 and was working in Maintenance Department. Bhuvanesh, the petitioner in ID 120/2014 was promoted as Junior Officer in 2005, as Officer in 2008 and Senior Officer in 2010 and were working in Operation Department. Balachandran, the petitioner in ID 122/2014 was promoted as Junior Officer in 2005, as Officer in 2010 and Senior Officer in 2012 and was also working in the Operation Department. Lakshmanan, the petitioner in ID 4/2015 was promoted as RTG Operator in 2005 and as Junior Officer in 2009. He was also in the Operation Department at the time of termination. The essential question to be5382 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] considered is whether in spite of their designation as Officers they were doing the work of workman only and not carrying out any work in Managerial cadre or having any supervisory position.
20. The counsel for the petitioner has referred to the decision of the Apex Court in SONEPAT COOPERATIVE SUGAR MILLS LTD. VS. AJIT SINGH reported in 2005 3 SCC 232 to throw light on the question as to who is a workman. The Apex Court has held in the above decision that a person would come within the purview of the definition of workman if he is employed in any industry and performs any manual, unskilled, skilled, technical, operational, clerical or supervisory work. It was further observed that the job of a Clerk ordinarily implies stereotype work without power of control or initiative or creativeness. The question as to whether the employee has been performing a Clerical work or not is required to be determined for arriving at a finding as regards the dominant nature of the work and the issue as to whether an employee answers the description of the workman or not has to be determined on the basis of conclusive evidence, it was further held.
21. The counsel for the petitioner has also referred to the decision ANAND REGIONAL COOPERATIVE OILSEEDS GROWERS UNION LTD. VS. SHAILESH KUMAR HARSHADBHAI SHAH reported in 2006 6 SCC 548. Here the Apex Court has held that while considering the question whether an employee is a workman or not undue importance need not be given for the designation of an employee or the name assigned to or the class to which he belongs. On the other hand, what is needed to be asked is what are the primary duties he performs. For this purpose, it is necessary to prove that there were some persons working under him whose work is required to be supervised. Being in-charge of a section alone and that too a small one relating to quality control would not answer the test, it was further held. The decision has quoted the earlier decision 1970 3 SCC 248 (ANAND BAZAR PATRIKA PVT. LTD. VS. WORKMEN) where it was held that whether a person is employed in a supervisory capacity or on clerical work depends upon whether the main and principal duties carried out by him are those of a supervisory character or of a nature carried out by a Clerk and if a person is mainly doing supervisory work but incidentally or for a fraction of the time also does some Clerical work it would have to be held that he is employed in supervisory capacity and conversely if the main work done is of Clerical nature the mere fact that some supervisory duties are also carried out incidentally or as a small fraction of the work done by him will not convert his employment as a Clerk into one in a supervisory capacity. If a person is having power or control or supervision in regard to recruitment, promotion, etc. the work involves exercise of tact and independence and it is a supervisory work, it was held. Thus it is clear that irrespective of the designation given to the position what is to be considered is the nature of the duties of the concerned employee.
22. The counsel for the Respondent has argued that the petitioners have not proved their case that they continued to be workmen at the time of their termination. The counsel has pointed out that it is essentially upon the employee to plead and prove that he is a workman. Reference was made to the decision in MUKESH K. TRIPATHI VS. SENIOR DIVISIONAL MANAGER, LIC AND OTHERS reported in 2004 8 SCC 387 in this respect. This decision lays down that an employee has to plead and prove his case that he is a workman. Reference was also made to the decision in DEOGIRI NAGARI SAHKARI BANK LIMITED VS. RAVINDRA BALAKRISHNA DESHPANDE reported in 2015 SCC ONLINE 6314. Referring to several earlier decisions the position that the employee is to establish that he is a workman was reiterated in the above case. So there is no doubt that it is essentially upon the employee to plead and prove the case that he is a workman and is entitled to the benefits of the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act.
23. The basis for the argument of the counsel for the Respondent that the petitioners have not established their case that they are workmen is that except Bhuvanesh, the petitioner in ID 120/2014, none of the other petitioners have come forward to give evidence to prove their stand. Bhuvanesh examined as WW1 has stated that his evidence is on behalf of the other petitioners as well. The documents in respect of other petitioners were also marked through this witness. This[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5383 witness has stated in his affidavit in lieu of Chief Examination that the petitioners except Harikrishnan who joined as Serviceman have joined as Checkers and that they continued to do the same work they were doing immediately after their appointment even after their so-called promotions. He has stated that there was a strike in the establishment in May 2005 and operation of the establishment had come to a halt for 13 days and consequently the Respondent, in order to weaken the bargaining power of the workmen had given namesake promotions with very slight increase in the pay- scale. He has pointed out that the promotions of all the petitioners have taken place in 2005 immediately after the strike. However, during cross-examination this witness is not very assertive regarding the work that were carried out by the other petitioners. He has stated during his cross-examination that the other petitioners were doing work different from that of his and he has no direct personal knowledge of the actual work done by the petitioners in other disputes except from what they have told him. Referring to this evidence of WW1 it has been argued by the counsel for the Respondent that this witness is not competent to speak about the other petitioners and in the absence of evidence by the other petitioners it is as good as there is no proof at all regarding the status of the other petitioners. There is no doubt that it is essentially on the employees to prove that they are workmen. But proof does not mean oral evidence by the concerned persons only. On the other hand, it is the sum total of the entire evidence on behalf of the petitioners as well as of the Respondent. There are the undisputed documents produced and marked on the side of the petitioners. Apart from this is the evidence of WW1 to the extent it can be relied upon. Then there is also the evidence of MW1 and MW2, two competent witnesses examined on behalf of the Respondents and the voluminous documents marked on the side of the Respondent in its attempt to establish that the petitioners do not come under the category of workman. When both sides adduce evidence, the question of burden of proof pales into insignificance. In the decision in CHOLAN ROADWAYS LTD. VS. THIRUGNANASAMBANDAM reported in 2005 3 SCC 241 it has been held that the Industrial Tribunal should have applied the correct standard of proof in relation to a domestic enquiry which is preponderance of probability and so also the principle of resipsa loquitor should have been applied. In the present case both sides have adduced evidence and preponderance of probability is to be applied to find out whether there is enough proof to show that the petitioners are workmen or not.
24. Now it is to be seen from the evidence whether there is sufficient material to come to a conclusion whether the petitioners are workmen or not. As already stated the counsel for the Respondent has been referring to the ignorance put forth by WW1 regarding the nature of work of other petitioners at the time of their termination. The counsel has also pointed out that now there is no post of Checker at all in the Respondent establishment. Ext.M132 to Ext.M137 are contracts produced to show this. These documents would show that from 2005 onwards Checkers are employed through Contractors and not directly. The clause in these contracts for example in Ext.M132 states that the Gate operations are to be carried out by the contractual employees who are Checkers. Of course, it is not disputed that the Respondent is not having the post of Checkers now. They manage the work of Checkers through contract employees. Abolition of the post of Checkers does not mean that the establishment does not have the work of Checkers any more. On the other hand, the work continue to be very much essential for the establishment but they were getting these done indirectly through Contractors. It could also be seen that the Management has given up the practice of appointing Checkers directly after the strike which occurred in the establishment in the year 2005. Merely because the practice of appointing Checkers was discontinued it cannot be concluded that those persons who were working as Checkers could not continue to do the same work. So Ext.M132 to Ext.M137 or Ext.M138 to Ext.M145, the annual returns under the CLRA Act do not lead to a conclusion that the petitioners could not have been doing the work they were doing earlier even after they were given promotion.
25. Another set of documents relied upon by the counsel for the Respondent are various settlements entered into by the Respondents with its workmen and marked as Ext.M93 to Ext.M95, Ext.M96 and Ext.M97. Each of the settlement contains a list of the workmen as Annexure to the Settlement. It is pointed out by the counsel for the Respondent that though in Ext.M93, the settlement of 2007 the names of all the petitioners are shown in the annexure as workmen, in Ext.M94 only the name of Lakshmanan, the petitioner in ID 4/2015 is there and in Ext.M95, Ext.M96 and Ext.M97 the names of none of them find a place. According to the counsel for the Respondent this is indication of the fact that after promotion the petitioners were not having the status of workmen but they were in the managerial cadre. The contention of the petitioner, as already stated is that the promotions are namesake to weaken the bargaining capacity of the employees and do not do any good to them nor put them in Management cadre. If the intention of the Respondent was to see that the petitioners are plucked of their wings by denying them the status of workman and giving them the glorified names of Officers without giving them any benefit alongwith it, the names of the petitioners certainly would not be there in the settlements that were entered into after the promotions which according to the petitioners are namesake.
26. What is the change the promotions have given to the petitioners? Do they come under managerial category by this? Ext.W4, Ext.W36, Ext.W67 and Ext.W105, Ext.W133 are the promotion orders. Ext.M133, the promotion order in favour of Lakshmanan, the petitioner in ID 4/2015 can be taken as an example. This order promotes him as Junior5384 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] Officer as on 31.03.2009. He will be getting salary of Rs. 16,570/- by this promotion. This order specifically states that after promotion he will be governed by the service rules of the Respondent. The order does not state what will be his duties on promotion. This is the case with the other promotion orders as well. The Respondent has elaborated the duties of the petitioners in the respective Counter Statements. A document referred to as copy of job description issued by the Respondent to the petitioner is also produced in all the petitions. These are marked as Ext.M92, Ext.M107, Ext.M112, Ext.M114 and Ext.M121. There is nothing to show that the respective job descriptions were ever served on the petitioners. MW1 examined on behalf of the Respondent has admitted that there is nothing to show that the concerned documents were served on the petitioners to enlighten them on their duties and responsibilities on promotion. Will these documents reveal that the petitioners were working in Managerial cadre on their promotion? Before referring to job description given in these documents, it is necessary to go into the exact nature of the work carried out by the Respondent. It had taken contract from Chennai Port Trust to handle its container operations for a period of 30 years. Ext.M92, one of the job description purportedly given to the petitioner in ID 4/2015 states that the purpose of the job is to control the yardside / shipside activities to achieve shift targets and to control, coordinate and integrate container vessel operations and employees. The person is stated to be responsible to ensure that all personnel under his control effectively perform their task in achieving daily operational requirements. All the job descriptions including Ext.M92 are seen generated on 1st January, 2013 after the dispute was raised. These do not state much about controlling the subordinates except something very vague. It could be seen from the admission of MW1 that the so-called control if any is only on the contract workers and not on the employees of the Respondent.
27. Ext.M104, Ext.M105, Ext.M106 and Ext.M123 are copies of e-mail messages produced by the Respondent intending to show that the petitioners were carrying out work of a supervisory nature and were having managerial capacity. These documents can be examined one by one. Ext.M104 is an e-mail sent by WW1, the petitioner in ID 120/2014. He is referred to as Gate Supervisor in the message. This e-mail addressing the Operation Superintendent states that about 200 people consisting of Drivers, Clerks, Truck Owners, etc. are waiting for delivery and there is pressure at the gate and due to push at the door, the door glass was broken. There is also a request to the Superintendent to issue Form-13 to all transporters. This message certainly does not reveal anything done by WW1 in supervisory capacity. It is only a report given by him to the Superintendent regarding the state of affairs at the gate. Ext.M105 also is an e-mail message by WW1 to the Superintendent. This only gives the report regarding stoppage of work during the third shift. This does not reveal any control of the subordinates or any management on the part of WW1. Ext.M106 is the copy of e-mail sent by the petitioner in ID 118/2014. This is a message sent by him to other Supervisors working at the yard, gate, vessel, tower control, etc. This just states that special permission has been granted for a particular vessel of which number is given in the message. This does not show that permission is granted by the sender. There is nothing to show that he has the authority to give permission also. Even if it is so, it cannot be termed as managerial capacity. Ext.M123 is an e-mail message sent by Lakshmanan, the petitioner in ID 4/2015. This is in the form of a report sent by him to the Operations Superintendent. This informs that some employees have used escort vehicles for some other purpose and he had questioned the concerned persons and had told them to take permission first. This will not show that permission is to be obtained from the petitioner. To make the work of a person managerial in nature it is not enough that he is doing some kind of work which is supervisory. On the other hand, his main work should be managerial and should have capacity to control his subordinates and to take action against his subordinates. Noticing the irregular conduct of a workman and reporting it to his superior officer will not make a person in a position in managerial capacity. A Copying Superintendent in a Court of Law will be controlling the copyists and would be giving instructions to them regarding the work to be done and also distributing the copies. But in spite of this, he could not be said to be working in a managerial capacity for the reason that his work is of a copyist mainly and he does not have any authority to control them or take action against them. In the same manner those who are working as Yard Supervisor, Vessel Supervisor or Document Supervisor could not be said to be working in managerial capacity. The e-mail messages produced are not of any use in establishing that the petitioners herein are working in managerial capacity and not as workmen.
28. In fact the admission made by MW1 during his cross-examination very much shatters the case of the Respondent that the petitioners are not workmen. He has admitted during his cross-examination that as seen from Ext.M106 e-mail, Suresh Kumar has posted Form-13. He would state that usually Form-13 is posted by the Checker and only if the Checker is not available it is done by the Supervisor. However, this admission is indicative of the fact that in spite of the promotion and new designation given Suresh Kumar continued to do the same work. What MW1 has stated during his cross-examination is that the work of WW1 as Gate Supervisor includes monitoring the work of a Checker. At the same time he admitted that the Checkers are only contract labourers. There is no case for MW1 that there are any employees of the Respondent under WW1. Controlling the contract labourers is the task of the Contractor and not of the employees of the Respondent, in the normal course. As seen from the admission of MW1 the Supervisor at the gate (in which capacity WW1 was working at the time) will be asked to clear the traffic jam, if any at the gate. Though MW1 has stated that the petitioners would be supervising the work of QC Operators and RTG Operators, no documents are produced to this effect in spite of the voluminous documents that were produced. MW1 has admitted that none of[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5385 the petitioners have any cheque signing powers. They do not have any financial powers at all. Again, they do not have any power to issue warning to the employees of the Respondent but only to the Checkers and Surveyors who are contract labourers, as stated by MW1. However, the contract workers, not being employees of the Respondent, any employee of the Respondent in managerial cadre could not be expected to have any power to issue any warning letter to the contract workers. Ext.M120, an e-mail message sent by Balachandran, the petitioner in ID 122/2014 is put forth as a warning letter issued by him. However, it is only a report given by Balachandran to a Senior Officer stating that a Checker was found sleeping during work time. Ext.M126 is an e-mail message by Lakshmanan to the Superior Officer informing that a Truck had run over the wall and the Driver was handed over to the concerned person and the Truck was locked. Thus the e-mail messages produced shows only that reports were given by some of the petitioners regarding the action of either of the contract workers or some others who had come to the Port in connection with the handling of goods.
29. MW2 has stated during his cross-examination that the Respondent establishment is having more number of Supervisors than workmen category. If this is the case there would be more than one Supervisor to control one workman alone. MW2 is the General Manager of the Administration Department. He admitted during his cross- examination that the petitioners are entitled to take disciplinary action against the contract employees only. At the same time he would state that the contract employees are employees of the Contractor and not of the Respondent. In effect the petitioners do not have any power to take any disciplinary action against any workers under the Respondent at all.
30. The Respondent has produced Ext.M51, Ext.M99, Ext.M100, Ext.M116 and Ext.M122 described as personal performance development plan also to support the case that the petitioners are not workmen. However, there is nothing in these documents to show that the petitioners were working in a managerial capacity. Ext.M109, the copy of the Store Issue Register in respect of the petitioner in ID 119/2014 or other such Registers in respect of other petitioners would not show that the petitioners are working in Managerial capacity.
31. It could be seen from the evidence that all the petitioners except Lakshmanan promoted immediately after the strike that had taken place in the establishment in May 2005. To add to this there is the admission on the part of Mw1 that the promotions were given to contain industrial unrest. As could be noticed almost all the employees in the Respondent establishment are having the designation of Officers. The number of Officers are much more than the number of workmen. Even the Driver of the establishment is given the designation of Officer. This itself reveals the method adopted by the Respondent to deny the workmen the benefits due to them and to cage them by giving them the nomenclature of Officers. Apart from this is the surprising fact that all the petitioners who according to the Respondent are in supervisory capacity are drawing about half the salary of those who are workmen and had joined during the same period. Ext.W27 is the salary slip of Suresh Kumar, petitioner in ID 118/2014. The salary he had drawn in August 2013 as seen from the document is 18,650/-. Ext.W175 and Ext.W176 are the salary slips in respect of some other persons working in the cadre of Officers, both below Rs. 20,000/-. Ext.W174 is the salary slip of Sultan Moideen who is admittedly working as Driver. He is given the designation of Junior Officer but given salary below Rs. 18,000/- as on February, 2013. Ext.W187 and Ext.W188 are the salary slips in respect of those who are working in workmen category. As per Ext.W187, Munusamy who had joined the establishment in 2001 and is working as QC Operator was drawing more than Rs. 50,000/- as salary in July, 2015. Ext.W188, the salary slip of Sukumar reveals that he had joined the establishment in 2001 and is working as RTG Operator and had drawn almost Rs. 50,000/- in August, 2015. If these salary slips are taken into account, the salary of the petitioners are almost half of the QC Operator or RTG Operator who are workmen and had joined the establishment at the same time as that of the petitioners. It is very odd that the petitioners who are said to be having supervising capacity and is having control over the subordinates are drawing half the salary of their subordinates only.
32. Ext.W186 is the Export Form-13 issued by the Respondent. The job of the Gate Supervisor seems to be mainly to issue such forms. It could not in any way be some work of Supervisory capacity but work of Clerical nature only.
33. Ext.W185 is a warning letter issued by the Head of Operations of the Respondent to Bhuvanesh, the petitioner in ID 120/2014. This tells him that on a particular day there was blockage of movement at the gate as the seal cutting and fixing activity for one door open units was not done. It is stated in the warning letter that this happened because of the failure on the part of Bhuvanesh in securing the tools and tackles. This is indicative of the nature of work done by the said petitioner whose designation is Junior Officer in the Operations Department in 2008. The work he was doing was that of a workman only.
34. Ext.M196 & Ext.M197 are the file notes regarding optimization from the Department of Engineering and Department of Operation respectively. The file states that Harikrishnan, the petitioner in ID 119/2014 and another have been selected for transfer. The details of these employees regarding their experience and expertise are also given. Both5386 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] of them at the time were having the designation of Senior Officer. In the column for experience for Harikrishnan it is stated that he was having experience on RTG and QC Crane Maintenance for 10 years. Same is the experience given in respect of Nagarajan, the other Senior Officer who is selected for transfer. Ext.M197 is the file note regarding approval for optimization of Operations Department employee strength. This gives the names of all the other petitioners as persons to be transferred. Lakshmanan, the petitioner in ID 4/2015 is Junior Officer and Suresh Kumar, petitioner in ID 118/2014 is Officer as per this. The other petitioners Balachandran and Bhuvanesh are Senior Officers, all in the Operations Department. Lakshmanan and Balachandran are described as persons having 10 years experience regarding Gate, Yard and Vessel Supervision and has good operational knowledge. Suresh Kumar is said to possessing good knowledge of CFS and documentation function and Bhuvanesh is said to be having experience comprising of Gate Supervision and knowledge in documentation. The description of the experience does not give any importance for the managerial job to be done by the petitioners. On the other hand importance is given only to their working capacities in areas referred to. Thus it could be seen that the details of experience given not essentially show that they were working in managerial capacity and were having authority to exercise any control over the employees below them or take any action against them.
35. As could be seen, the Respondent had produced whatever documents are available with it to show that the petitioners were in managerial capacity. However, none of the documents are sufficient to show that they were working in managerial capacity. On the other hand the documents show otherwise. What could be concluded from the documents on the part of the Respondent and the evidence of MW1 and MW1 itself is that the petitioners never had any managerial authority except to control the rush at the entry gate or some such minor supervisory work. It is true that other than WW1 the other petitioners have not come forward to justify their case that they continue to be workmen in spite of designation given to them as Officers. However when the preponderance of probability and circumstances are taken into account it is very much clear that the petitioners all along continued to be workmen and do the job of workman only mainly in spite of all the promotions conferred on them and the grand nomenclature given to their post. So they are to be treated as workmen. The contention of the Respondent that the petitioners do not come under the definition of workman as per ID Act and the disputes are not maintainable before this Tribunal for this reason is to be rejected.
36. The contention of the petitioner is that it is only on account of the strike notice and subsequent steps taken by them to have their demands as per the strike notice satisfied, all of them were transferred to different subsidiary companies of the Respondent. The counsel for the Respondent has pointed out that unless there is specific plea of victimization such contention of the petitioners could not be accepted. The counsel has referred to the decision in BHARAT IRON WORKS VS. BHAGUBHAI BALUBAI PATEL AND OTHERS reported in 1976 1 SCC 518 in this respect. The Apex Court has held here that victimization is a serious charge by an employee against an employer and therefore it must be properly and adequately pleaded giving all particulars upon which the charge is based to enable the employer to fully meet them. The onus of establishing a plea of victimization will be upon the person pleading it, it was further held. So definitely it is for the petitioners to show that the transfer and subsequent termination were by way of victimization.
37. The attempt on the part of the Respondent has been to show that the transfer as well as subsequent termination had become necessary because of the reduced volume of work at Chennai Port for the Respondent. The counsel has referred to several documents in the attempt to show that both transfers as well as termination were on account of this. Reference was made to Ext.W171 the copy of the petition filed by the Respondent herein in the Writ Petition against the order of transfer. In this the Respondent has requested to permit them to implement the decision taken by them to terminate the services of the petitioners herein. In the affidavit alongwith the application, by way of justification for termination, the Respondent has stated that there was reduction in the volume of work handled at Chennai unit and there is loss of business at Chennai and Officers category are in surplus and it is necessary to review the manpower in that category. It was further stated that it was for this reason the Officers including the petitioners were transferred. It is pointed out that the petitioners did not challenge this case in the affidavit regarding reduction in the volume of business in the High Court and it is to be treated as they have accepted this position. Reference was also made to Ext.M191, Ext.M193, Ext.M194, Ext.M182 and Ext.M185 in this respect. Ext.M191 is an e-mail of May 2013 referring to the discussion during a previous conference and states that attrition is continuing and there is need to take quick action. This e-mail is after the strike notice was given. Ext.M193 is the copy of minutes of a meeting with Regional HR, etc. regarding optimization of human resources. This is in June 2013. This has decided to explore the possibilities for transfer of some of the Officers on account of the drop in the volume of business. Ext.M194 is another minutes which decided to have a drive towards regaining market share and to put additional efforts on cost reduction. Ext.M182 is the copy of the balance sheet of March 2012 intended to show that the profit is less. Ext.M185 is the Director's report of June 2013 regarding the annual report for the year ending March 2013. This states that net profit of the financial year 2012-2013 was Rs. 328 million while that of 2011-2012 was Rs. 478 million. The activities[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5387 for market drive, the decision to transfer some of the Officers, etc. are said to have been based on the reduced profit of 2013 on account of reduced handling of business compared to that of 2012.
38. There might have been reduction in the volume of business and thereby in the profit for the Financial Year 2012- 2013. But was it exactly the reason for the transfer of the petitioners or their subsequent termination? Was the reduction in the volume of business so drastic so as to take drastic steps even to the extent of sending away some of the employees so as to cause them loss their entire livelihood? On perusal of the documents, it could be seen that this was not so.
39. Before considering the question whether the transfers were malafide it could be seen whether there is sufficient foundation for such a case. In the Claim Statement the petitioners have stated that the transfers were malafide. It is stated in the Claim Statement that on 30.07.2013 itself the concerned union had brought it to the notice of the Conciliation Officer that the transfer is malafide as well as illegal. It is also stated that the transfer was only an offshoot of the workmen joining another union to ventilate their grievances and seeking to extend the benefit of the settlement dated 19.01.2011 to them also. The transfer is by way of counter attack on the workmen who had participated in the meeting of the new union in which they have joined, it is further stated. Even earlier, before the Conciliation Officer they have stated so. At the time of transfer the proceedings in respect of the demand of the union of which the petitioners are members to give them the benefit of settlement was pending before the Conciliation Officer. Ext.W164 is the letter written by the Union to the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central). This states that the transfers were by way of victimizing the members of the Union. In Ext.W165 another letter written after a few days also it is repeated that the act of the Management in transferring the petitioners is nothing but victimization as they have joined another Union. It has been stated on behalf of the Respondent that none of the petitioners are Office Bearers of the Union and the Management could not be expected to know if they are members of the Union and so there was no question of victimization because of their joining the Union. This is met by the petitioners pointing out that Ext.W161 letter by the Union containing the list of its members has been forwarded to the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner on 17.07.2013 itself. Thus, there is sufficient foundation in the pleadings and also in the documents produced regarding the malafide intentions of the Respondent in effecting the transfer.
40. Ext.W15, Ext.W55, Ext.W85, Ext.W119 and Ext.W136 are the transfer orders of the Respondent transferring the petitioners to other subsidiary companies of DP World, the parent company of the Respondent. All the above transfers are on 25.07.2013. Ext.W154 is the strike notice dated 14.05.2013. Ext.W155 to Ext.W163 are the copies of the proceedings before the Conciliation Officer. Thus it could be seen that it was while hectic attempt was being made to conciliate the demands raised in the strike notice the petitioners were transferred on 25.07.2013.
41. It has been pointed out on behalf of the petitioners that the very transfer is improper and illegal for the reason that they are transferred to a separate entity which is not connected with the Respondent establishment at all. The Respondent has been relying upon the orders of promotion of the petitioners which are having clause for transfer also. Ext.W4 is one such promotion order. By this Suresh Kumar, the petitioner in ID 118/2014 was promoted as Junior Officer. Clause-10 of the promotion order states that the promotee is liable to be transferred to any section / department / unit / branch of the Company in India either existing or which may be commissioned in the future. However, this promotion order is by Chennai Container Terminal Ltd., the Respondent. If the Respondent is transferring its employees to any section / department or unit there cannot be any quarrel. However, the Respondent does not have any branch anywhere. It is true that the Respondent is the subsidiary of the Company by name DP World. However, the Respondent is a separate entity and just like the Respondent the parent company is having other subsidiary companies also. This is clear from Ext.W178, the master details of the Company. The registration number of the Respondent as per this is 128675. The registration number of Mundra International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. to which some of the petitioners are transferred is 039015 and the registration number of Nhava Sheva International Container Terminal Pvt. Ltd. to which some were transferred is 106790. Thus it is apparent that all the three are separate companies with registration numbers of their own and are separate entities and have nothing to do in common except that they are subsidiaries of the parent company and are handling the same type of work. So the very transfers made by the Respondent were not in order.
42. The subsequent behavior of the Respondent would also show that the Respondent was bent upon removing the petitioners from the scenario. The petitioners have filed Writ Petition before the High Court requesting an order of injunction against the Transfer Orders. Ext.W168 is the copy of the Writ Petition filed by them. Ext.W170 is the copy of the order of the Hon'ble High Court passing an order of interim injunction against the Respondent herein from giving effect to the transfer order. Rather than allowing the petitioners to continue in their job the Respondent asked them to sit at home and take the salary. Subsequently, they filed Ext.W171 application before the High Court stating that they have decided to terminate the services of the petitioners and permission may be granted for this. On5388 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] 30.04.2014 the Respondent submitted before the High Court that the transfer orders will be withdrawn. Regarding the permission sought for termination the Hon'ble High Court stated that the Respondent is to take a decision upon this and any proposed action regarding this could constitute a separate cause of action. Accordingly, the Writ Petition as well as the connected petitions were closed. Immediately after disposal of the matter before the High Court the Respondent carried out its decision to terminate the petitioners from service. All of them were terminated on 06.08.2013.
43. It could be seen from the available documents that the transfer and termination giving the reason of reduced volume of work was only a pretext. If this was the actual reason termination should have been of the junior-most and not of those who are seniors. The Assistant Labour Commissioner has issued notice for conciliation proceedings as early as on 20.05.2013 as seen from Ext.W155, the notice issued by him. Ext.W156 is the response of the Respondent before the Conciliation Officer. Ext.W157 is the proceedings of conciliation and Ext.W158 and W159 are the notices issued by the Conciliation Officer. By Ext.W160 proceedings dated 26.06.2013 the Conciliation Officer directed the Respondent to maintain the status-quo. In spite of this orders of transfer are issued by the Respondent, apparently in violation of Section-33(A) of the Industrial Disputes Act. Even after the Order of Injunction passed by the High Court the Respondent was acting in a retaliatory manner by asking those persons who were under orders of transfer not to attend work but to receive salary at home.
44. It could be seen from the documents and admissions made by MWs 1 and 2 that the petitioners were transferred while their juniors were retained. MW1 has admitted during his cross-examination that Harikrishnan, the petitioner in ID 119/2014 is a senior person in the Engineering Department. His transfer was by retaining his juniors. MW2 has admitted during his cross-examination that Ext.M160, Ext.M163, Ext.M168, Ext.M172, Ext.M174, Ext.M177 and Ext.M179 to Ext.M181 are all promotions made after termination of the petitioners and that except one all are junior to the petitioners. Ext.M196 is the proposal for transfer of Harikrishnan and another in the name of optimization. While approving the proposal the Director had made an endorsement that if they are declining the transfer the clause for termination in the contract can be invoked. So they were aware even then that there is every possibility of the petitioners who were put under the orders of transfer during the negotiation declining the transfer. It could be seen that several persons were recruited by the Company also after the so-called transfer and termination. Ext.M208 & Ext.M209 would show that several persons have joined the Company even in the year 2013. Ext.M211 is a list of the persons who joined in the year 2014. Even in 2015 several persons have joined, as seen from Ext.M213. If the intention of the Respondent was to prune the staff on account of low volume of work new persons would not have been recruited after the petitioners were transferred and subsequently terminated. All these definitely show that the transfer as well as subsequent termination was the result of victimization. There was no necessity for the Respondent to transfer the petitioners or terminate them for the reasons given. The petitioners having been found workmen are entitled to relief from this Tribunal.
45. The counsel for the Respondent has argued that in case the petitioners are found to be workmen they shall not be reinstated in service but should be given compensation only in view of the reduced volume of work available for the Respondent. The counsel for the Respondent has relied upon various legal pronouncements in this respect. The termination having been found by way of victimization and unnecessary these decisions are not much relevant. In any case on going through these decisions it could be seen that these were rendered in different contexts and could not be relied upon even otherwise. The decision in MOUNT METTUR PHARMACEUTICALS LTD. VS. SECOND ADDITIONAL LABOUR COURT, MADRAS reported in 1985 1 LLN 801 was on a case where employees were retrenched due to recession. Payment of compensation was justified on the ground that there was need for retrenchment. In the decision in RELCHOLD CHEMICALS LTD. VS. WORKMEN EMPLOYED IN RELCHOLD CHEMICALS LTD. reported in 1997 2 LLN 268 persons removed were casual labourers. Removal was found not malafide and payment of compensation in lieu of reinstatement was found proper. This is the case with the workman who challenged termination in the decision in CONNEMARA HOTEL VS. THIRD ADDITIONAL LABOUR COURT reported in 1997 4 LLN 254 also. In the decision in NAGARMAHAPALIKA VS. STATE OF UP AND OTHERS reported in 2006 5 SCC 127 the Apex Court has found that the appointment was in violation of the UP Industrial Disputes Act and the period of the appointment order had come to an end. So compensation rather than reinstatement was found to be the proper relief.
46. In the present dispute all the petitioners were permanent employees of the Respondent. All of them had started to work with the Respondent in the year 2001. They were turned out of service on the pretext of reduced volume of work when they raised certain demands. The Act of the Respondent could not be justified at all. Compensation will not be sufficient relief for the petitioners. They are entitled to be reinstated in service. Accordingly, awards are passed as below:
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5389The petitioners in all the IDs shall be reinstated in service within 2 months of the publication of the award with backwages, continuity of service and all other benefits. In default of payment of backwages within the stiupulated period it will carry interest @ 7.5% per annum.

1. The reference dates back to 14.12.2006. The second party submitted the statement of claim Ext. 4 on 28.08.2004 and the first party submitted the written statement Ext. 16 on 22.02.2010. The second party also submitted his affidavit/examination-in-chief Ext. 18 on 01.04.2010. But since then the workman has not been attending the tribunal for his cross-examination. The advocate for the second party workman Shri B.B. Thesia moved an application Ext. 27 stating that his client has not been in contact despite contacting him by way of post. Thus it appears that the second party workman is not willing to prosecute the case.

1. The reference dates back to 16.03.2000. The second party submitted the statement of claim Ext. 4 on 02.08.2000 but first party did not prefer to submit the written statement. It is unfortunate that despite not filing written statement by the first party, second party or his representative have not been appearing in the reference for leading exparte evidence. The perusal of the record indicates that both the parties have settled their disputes by way of settlement on 13.05.2007 by way of notarised settlement between Lee & Muirhead Pvt.

2. Thus in the light of the settlement, the reference has become infructuous and no finding is required to be given.

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as clerks since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of clerk is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08/09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC alongwith 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as clerks in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 68 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002interaliadenied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC. The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right toEquality and Right of Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5413 legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractorfor miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second partysubmitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief,Exh. -14, 16 and 17who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
5. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of clerks as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
The Ministry has referred the matter for 68 workmen who allegedly worked as Clerks in prohibited category as per notification dated 08.09.1994. In the said reference the second party has examined Shri Chaudhary Ishwarbhai Kalubhai vide Ext. 17, Dipakbhai Ramniklal Joshi vide Ext. 16 and Narendra Trikambhai Patel vide Ext. 14. In cross examination he has stated that ONGC has not given any appointment letter. He further admitted that he was getting the salary paid to semi skilled workers. In cross examination he admitted that Chanasma Sahakari Mandli paid him salary.
In cross examination Shri Dipak R. Joshi admitted that his PF was deducted by Chanasma Mazdoor Sahakari Mandli. He has also admitted that neither the contractor nor the ONGC has given any appointment letter.
In cross examination Narendra T. Patel has admitted that he was not given any appointment letter by the ONGC or the Contractor. He has admitted that the salary was paid by the contractor. He has further admitted that at the time of deposition he was working under contractor B.S. Chaudhary. He has also admitted that the said contractor has paid him salary and deducted the provident fund. He has further stated that he himself and other workers are doing the miscellaneous work.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Kohil Deepak D. and 67 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC as clerks in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92 – LW, dt: 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd., Mehsana project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "clerks (including Accounts Clerks)"is a prohibited category. The 68 workmen concerned in this reference are working as clerks in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in the schedule of reference are doing clerical work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of clerical work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do clerical work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a5414 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power KamdarSahakariMandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 68 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
The Panchayat hence submits the 68 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act."
7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license. If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 68 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Clerks or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Shri Narendra kumar Trikambhai Patel at Exh.-14 is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of clerk is given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Clerks as alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as clerks. If the educational qualifications of the concerned persons are examined then he has not passed 12th standard, while another is 12thpass and third person is graduate. Hence their educational qualifications are also not same or similar equivalent to eligibility mark of the post of clerks.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 54159. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the prohibited category of clerks but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross-examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of clerks. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfill the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is wholesome identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
15. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice ChancellorLakhnow University, LakhnawVs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare&Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC &Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana&Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
5416 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by
Appropriate Government under sub section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract
labour, in any process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot
be required to order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India &Anr. Vs. RamsinghThakor&Ors. reported in2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja&Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. &Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandizalso held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments)
VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments)
IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujrat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments)
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujrat high court in ONGC vShri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench inUmadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, KendriyaVidyaSangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide ShilpaJinda case (supra)][भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5417 XI. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XII. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submittedBrief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i) The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd and they were not exhibited.
(ii) The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The workers working for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(ii) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.

In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
5418 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)](4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.

119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.

17. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
18 . The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.

"Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper coordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, MehsanaProjectalong with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issueswas lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and alsoin direct employment of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of clerk and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having thateligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorially denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves more than sixty workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of clerk. The post of clerk is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category.
Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
It is also noteworthy that none of the workmen were engaged for ministerial work.
4. Issue 3: In the light of above findings this issue is decided that all these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
19. The award is passed accordingly.

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as Telephone Operators, Helpers since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of Telephone Operators, Helpers is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08//09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC along with 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as Telephone Operators, Helpers in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/ second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 16 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002 interalia denied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC. The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right to Equality and Right of5422 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractor for miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second party submitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief, Exh. -14, 16 and 17 who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
5. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of Telephone Operators, Helpers as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
Ministry has referred the matter for category of Telephone Operator and Helpers in prohibited category as per notification dated 08.09.1994. The Union has examined Shri Ashwin Hiralal Raval vide Ext. 12. In cross examination he has admitted that he and other four workers have not done any telephone operator technical course. ONGC has not given any appointment letter. At the time of deposition salary was paid through cheque by the contractor. He has admitted that he does not know when the other four workmen joined the duties. He has no documentary evidence for the same.
Union examined one Shri Amrishkumar Santikumar Dave vide Ext. 13 in cross examination. He has admitted that he has no proof to show that he was working with the ONGC. He was not given any appointment letter by ONGC.
Union has also examined Shri Amrutbhai G. Makwana vide Ext. 14. In cross examination he has stated that ONGC has not given any appointment letter. He has stated that salary was paid through bank but the salary amount debited by the contractor is not known to him. He has further admitted in his cross examination that he has no proof to show that he has been working as Diesel Generator Operator.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Dave A.S. and 15 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC Ltd., Mehsana, as Telephone Operators, Helpers in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92-LW dated 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "Telephone Operators, Helpers is a prohibited category. The 16 workmen concerned in this reference are working as Telephone Operators, Helpers in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in the schedule of reference are doing Telephone Operators, Helpers work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5423(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of Telephone Operators, Helpers work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do Telephone Operators, Helpers work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power Kamdar Sahakari Mandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 16 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
The Panchayat hence submits the 16 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act. "
7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license. If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 16 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Telephone Operators, Helpers or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Makwana Amrutbhai Gelabhai at Exh.-14 is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of Telephone Operators, Helpers is given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Telephone Operators, Helpers as5424 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as Telephone Operators, Helpers.
9. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the prohibited category of Telephone Operators, Helpers but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross-examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of Telephone Operators, Helpers. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfil the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is whole some identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
15. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice Chancellor Lakhnow University, Lakhnaw Vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare & Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5425II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC &Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana & Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by Appropriate
Government under sub section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract labour, in any
process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot be required to
order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India & Anr. Vs. Ramsingh Thakor & Ors. reported in2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja & Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. & Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandiz also held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments)
VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments)
IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujarat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments)
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujarat high court in ONGC v/s Shri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench in Umadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, Kendriya Vidya Sangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide Shilpa Jinda case (supra)]5426 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] XI. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XII. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submitted Brief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i)The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd and they were not exhibited.
(ii)The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The workers working for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(ii) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.

In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
(4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5427 years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.

119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.

18. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
18 The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.

2006 SSC (L&S) P. 5305428 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] "Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper coordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issues was lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of Telephone Operators, Helpers and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having that eligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorically denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves sixteen workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of Telephone Operators, Helpers. The post of Telephone Operators, Helpers is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category. It is also noteworthy that most of the workmen involved in this reference are persons who were technician so they cannot be called as Telephone Operators, Helpers. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
4. Issue 3: In the light of above findings this issue is decided that all these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
17. The award is passed accordingly.

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as Attendants, Peons & Helpers since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of Attendants, Peons & Helpers is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08//09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC along with 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as Attendants, Peons & Helpers in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/ second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 682 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002 interalia denied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC. The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right to Equality and Right of Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractor for miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second party submitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief, Ext. -14, 16 and 17 who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
5. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of Attendants, Peons & Helpers as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
The Ministry has referred the case for 681 alleged contract employees working as Attendent, Peon and Helper in the prohibited category as per notification dated 08.09.1994. The second party union examined 16 contractual persons vide Ext. 19 to 34 who reiterated the statement given in the statement of claim but in their cross examination, all of5436 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] them stated that ONGC did not publish any advertisement for recruitment and did not give any appointment letter. He further stated that they do not know the educational qualification of othe co-employee. They admitted that they were working as unskilled worker. They also admitted that the workers do not know the working of the other workmen and they are not known to them. They also admitted that salary was paid through Bank but they do not have any proof that they have been woring since last 25 years.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Chauhan Bhagwati K. and 681 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC Ltd., Mehsana, as Attendants, Peons & Helpers in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92-LW dated 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "Attendants, Peons & Helpers" is a prohibited category. The 682 workmen concerned in this reference are working as clerks in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in the schedule of reference are doing Attendants, Peons & Helpers work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of Attendants, Peons & Helpers work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do Attendants, Peons & Helpers work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power Kamdar Sahakari Mandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 682 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5437The Panchayat hence submits the 682 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act. "
7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license. If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 682 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Attendants, Peons & Helpers or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Rameshbhai J. Chaudhary at Exh.-20 is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of Attendants, Peons & Helpers are given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Attendants, Peons & Helpers as alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as Attendants, Peons & Helpers.
9. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the prohibited category of Attendants, Peons & Helpers but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross-examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of Attendants, Peons & Helpers. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfill the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are5438 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is whole some identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
15. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice Chancellor Lakhnow University, Lakhnaw Vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare & Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC &Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana & Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by Appropriate
Government under sub section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract labour, in any
process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot be required to
order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India &Anr. Vs. RamsinghThakor&Ors. reported in2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja & Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. & Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandiz also held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments)[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5439 VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments)
IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujrat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments)
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujrat high court in ONGC vShri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench in Umadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, Kendriya Vidya Sangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide Shilpa Jinda case (supra)]
XI. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XII. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submitted Brief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i) The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd and they were not exhibited.
(ii) The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The workers working for5440 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(ii) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.
(A) BhilwaraDoodhUtpadakSangh Ltd.
V/s
Vinod Kumar Sharma & Others
(2011 CLR P. 1079) (SC)
In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
(4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.
(B) Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors.
2001 LLJ (II) P : 1087 (SC)
119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.
(C) Steel Authority of India Ltd.

2004 GLR (1) P : 729
18. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5441 between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
18 The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.
(D) Workmen of Bhurkunda Colliery of Central Coalfields Ltd.
V/s
State of Bihar &Ors.
2006 SSC (L&S) P. 530
"Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper coordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and alsoin direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issues was lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their5442 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of Attendants, Peons & Helpers and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having that eligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorically denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves more than six hundred workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of Attendants, Peons & Helpers. The post of Attendants, Peons & Helpers is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category. It is also noteworthy that none of the employees appears to have been engaged by ONGC or contractor as Attendants, Peons & Helpers. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
4. Issue 3: In the light of above findings this issue is decided that all these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
17. The award is passed accordingly.

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as Instrument Technician and Helper since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of Instrument Technician and Helper is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08//09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC along with 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as Instrument Technicians and Helpers in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/ second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 258 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002 interalia denied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC. The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right to Equality and Right of Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of5446 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractor for miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second party submitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief, Exh. -14, 16 and 17 who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
5. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of Instrument Technician and Helper as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
The Ministry referred the matter for contractual workmen working as Instrumental Technician and Helper in the prohibited category as per notification letter dated 08.09.1994. The second party examined their witness vide Ext. 15 to 20, 22 and 23. They have reiterated the pleadings of the statement of claim but all of them in their cross examination stated that they did not make any written application for job with the ONGC nor ever appeared for any interview. ONGC did not give them any appointment letter. Their salary was paid to Axis Bank but they do not know who paid it whether it was ONGC or contractor. They also admitted that they were working with the contractor Sarvodaya Kamdar Mandali. They do not know their date of joining with respect to other workmen. They were working as unskilled worker. No advertisement for such post was made by ONGC in any newspaper. They don't have any proof that work has been allotted to them by the ONGC Officer.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Solanki Vishnu G. and 258 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC Ltd., Mehsana, as Instrument Technician and Helper in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92-LW dated 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "Instrument Technician and Helper" is a prohibited category. The 258 workmen concerned in this reference are working as clerks in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in the schedule of reference are doing Instrument Technician and Helper work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of Instrument Technician and Helper work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do Instrument Technician and Helper work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5447 absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power Kamdar Sahakari Mandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 258 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
The Panchayat hence submits the 258 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act. "
7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license. If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 258 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Instrument Technician and Helper or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Rameshkumar Narsangbhai Chaudhary at Exh.-16 is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of Instrument Technician and Helper is given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Instrument Technician and Helper as alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as Instrument Technician and Helper.
9. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned5448 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the prohibited category of Instrument Technician and Helper but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross- examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of Instrument Technician and Helper. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfil the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is whole some identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
15. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice Chancellor Lakhnow University, Lakhnaw Vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare & Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC &Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana & Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5449IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by Appropriate
Government under sub section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract labour, in any
process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot be required to
order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India &Anr. Vs. RamsinghThakor&Ors. reported in2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja & Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. & Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandiz also held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments)
VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments)
IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujrat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments)
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujrat high court in ONGC v/s Shri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench in Umadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, Kendriya Vidya Sangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide ShilpaJinda case (supra)]
XI. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XII. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these5450 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submitted Brief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i)The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd and they were not exhibited.
(ii)The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The workers working for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(ii) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.

(2011 CLR P. 1079) (SC)
In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
(4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.

119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.

17. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
18 The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.

"Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the5452 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper coordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issues was lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of Instrument Technician and Helper and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having that eligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorically denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves more than two hundred fifty workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of Instrument Technician and Helper. The post of Instrument Technician and Helper is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category. It is also noteworthy that none of the employees appears to have been engaged by ONGC or contractor as Instrument Technician and Helper. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
4. Issue 3: In the light of above findings this issue is decided that all these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
19. The award is passed accordingly.

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as Drivers since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of Drivers is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08//09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC along with 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as Drivers in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/ second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 55 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002 interalia denied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC. The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right to Equality and Right of Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractor for miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second party submitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief, Exh. -14, 16 and 17 who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 54555. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of Drivers as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
The Ministry referred the matter for contractual workmen working as Contractual Drivers in the prohibited category as per notification letter dated 08.09.1994. The second party examined their witness vide Ext. 12, 13 and 16 who reiterated their statement given in the pleading but in their cross examination they stated that ONGC did not give them any appointment letter. They were working on contract basis. They do not know the date of birth, age and qualification of other workmen. They also do not know the other workmen personally. They also stated that PF was deducted but who deducted it is not known to them.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Chaudhary Bhatibhai H. and 54 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC Ltd., Mehsana, as Drivers in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92-LW dated 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "Drivers"is a prohibited category. The 55 workmen concerned in this reference are working as Drivers in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in the schedule of reference are doing Drivers work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of Drivers work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do Drivers work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power Kamdar Sahakari Mandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of5456 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 55 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
The Panchayat hence submits the 55 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act. "
7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license. If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 55 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Drivers or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Thakore Sadaji Babaji at Exh.-13 is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of Drivers is given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Drivers as alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as Drivers.
9. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the prohibited category of Drivers but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross-examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of Drivers. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5457 due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfill the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is whole some identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
15. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice Chancellor Lakhnow University, Lakhnaw Vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare & Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC &Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana & Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by Appropriate
Government under sub section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract labour, in any
process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot be required to
order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India &Anr. Vs. RamsinghThakor&Ors. reported in2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja & Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. & Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly5458 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandiz also held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments)
VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments)
IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujrat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments)
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujrat high court in ONGC v/s Shri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench in Umadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, Kendriya Vidya Sangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide ShilpaJinda case (supra)]
XI. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XII. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submitted Brief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i)The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5459 is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd and they were not exhibited.
(ii)The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The workers working for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(ii) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.

Vinod Kumar Sharma & Others
(2011 CLR P. 1079) (SC)
In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
(4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.
(B) Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors.
2001 LLJ (II) P : 1087 (SC)
119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.

18. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
18 The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.

"Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper coordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5461In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issues was lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of Drivers and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having that eligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorically denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves more than fifty workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of Drivers. The post of Drivers is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category. It is also noteworthy that none of the workmen were engaged as Drivers. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
4. Issue 3:In the light of above findings this issue is decided that all these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
17. The award is passed accordingly.

| 2. Solanki Suresh G |

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as Computer Operators/Data Operators since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of Computer Operators/Data Operators is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08//09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5463 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC along with 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as Computer Operators/Data Operators in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/ second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 7 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002 interalia denied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC. The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right to Equality and Right of Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractor for miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second party submitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief, Exh. -14, 16 and 17 who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
5. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of Computer Operators/Data Operators as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
The Ministry referred the matter for contractual workmen working as Computer Operator/Data Operator in the prohibited category as per notification letter dated 08.09.1994. The second party examined Kanak Bihari Mishra vide Ext. 13. In his cross examination he stated that he was not given any appointment letter by the ONGC. PF was deducted but it is not known as to who deducted. He does not have any evidence that he was working as Computer Operator. He does not know as to how the permanent employees of the ONGC are recruited.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
5464 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Bhavsar Dushyant J. and 6 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC Ltd., Mehsana, as Computer Operators/Data Operators in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92-LW dated 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "Computer Operator/Data Operator"is a prohibited category. The 7 workmen concerned in this reference are working as Computer Operator/Data Operator in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in the schedule of reference are doing Computer Operator/Data Operator work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of Computer Operator/Data Operator work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do Computer Operator/Data Operator work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power Kamdar Sahakari Mandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 7 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
The Panchayat hence submits the 7 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act."
7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5465If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 7 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Computer Operator/Data Operator or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Kanak Bihari Mishra is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of Computer Operator/Data Operator is given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Computer Operator/Data Operator as alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as Computer Operator/Data Operator.
9. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the prohibited category of Computer Operator/Data Operator but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross- examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of Computer Operator/Data Operator. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfil the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
5466 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is whole some identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
15. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice-Chancellor Lakhnow University, Lakhnaw Vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare & Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC &Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana & Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by Appropriate
Government under sub-section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract labour, in any
process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot be required to
order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India &Anr. Vs. RamsinghThakor&Ors. reported in2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja & Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. & Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandiz also held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments)
VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments)
IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujrat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments)
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujrat high court in ONGC v/s Shri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5467 after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench in Umadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, Kendriya Vidya Sangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide Shilpa Jinda case (supra)]
X. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XI. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submitted Brief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i)The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd and they were not exhibited.
(ii)The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross- examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The workers working for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the5468 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(ii) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.
(A) Bhilwara Doodh Utpadak Sangh Ltd.
V/s
Vinod Kumar Sharma & Others
(2011 CLR P. 1079) (SC)
In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
(4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.
(B) Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors.
2001 LLJ (II) P : 1087 (SC)
119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.

2004 GLR (1) P : 729
18. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate Government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 546918 The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.

"Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper coordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issues was lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and alsoin direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of Computer Operator/Data Operator and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having that eligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorially denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves seven workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of Computer Operator/Data Operator. The post of Computer Operator/Data Operator is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category. It is also noteworthy that none of the5470 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] workmen were engaged as Computer Operators/Data Operators. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
4. Issue 3:In the light of above findings this issue is decided that all these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
17. The award is passed accordingly.

The Government of India/Ministry of Labour, New Delhi by reference adjudication Order No. L-30011/20/2000- IR(Misc.) dated 17.02.2000 referred the dispute for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (Gujarat) in respect of the matter specified in the Schedule:
SCHEDULE

If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
• The reference dates back to 17.02.2000.
Name of workmen involved in the Reference are as under:
| 1. Gokhalkar Mahendra T |
| 2. Patel Babubhai S |
| 3. Mulmuley Prashant K |
| 4. Ashokkumar |
| 5. Joshi Anilkumar |

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as Radio/Wireless Operators since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of Radio/Wireless Operators is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08//09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC alongwith 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as Radio/Wireless Operators in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/ second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 10 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002 interalia denyied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the5472 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC.The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right toEquality and Right of Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractor for miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second party submitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief, Exh. -14, 16 and 17 who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
5. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of Radio/Wireless Operators as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
The Ministry referred the matter for contractual workmen working as Radio/Wireless Operator in the prohibited category as per notification letter dated 08.09.1994. The second party examined one of the workmen I.K. Murthy who reiterated the pleadings given the statement of claim but he specifically stated that the persons involved in this reference were engaged by respective contractors. Their working was supervised and control by their contractors. Wages were also paid and PF was also deducted by their contractors. The ONGC officers do not have any supervision or control over them. ONGC did not appoint them. The workmen involved in this reference were not recruited as per the R & P of the ONGC. They did not appear in any written test or interview etc. before the ONGC. Contract was awarded to the contractors following due procedure but it was sham and bogus. He further admitted that the contractors were having licence and registered with the ONGC.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Gokhalkar Mahendra T. and 9 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC Ltd., Mehsana, as Radio/Wireless Operators in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92-LW dated 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "Radio/Wireless Operators"is a prohibited category. The 10 workmen concerned in this reference are working as Radio/Wireless Operators in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5473 the schedule of reference are doing Radio/Wireless Operators work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of Radio/Wireless Operators work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do Radio/Wireless Operators work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power Kamdar Sahakari Mandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 10 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
The Panchayat hence submits the 10 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act. "
7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license. If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 10 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Radio/Wireless Operators or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Jayesh Dineshbhai Patibandha at Exh.-11 is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of Radio/Wireless Operators is given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous5474 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Radio/Wireless Operators as alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as Radio/Wireless Operators.
9. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the prohibited category of clerks but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross-examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of Radio/Wireless Operators. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfill the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is whole some identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 547515. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice Chancellor Lakhnow University, Lakhnaw Vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare & Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC &Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana & Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by Appropriate
Government under sub section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract labour, in any
process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot be required to
order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India &Anr. Vs. RamsinghThakor&Ors. reported in2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja & Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. & Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandiz also held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments)
VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments)
IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujrat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments)
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujrat high court in ONGC vShri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench in Umadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, Kendriya Vidya Sangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
5476 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide ShilpaJinda case (supra)]
XI. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XII. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submitted Brief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i)The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd and they were not exhibited.
(ii)The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The workers working for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(i) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.

In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5477(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
(4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.

119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.

17. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
18. The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.

"Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper coordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and alsoin direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issues was lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and alsoin direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of Radio/Wireless Operators and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having that eligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorially denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves ten workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of Radio/Wireless Operators. The post of Radio/Wireless Operators is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
4. Issue 3 : In the light of above findings this issue is decided that all these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
19. The award is passed accordingly.

If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"5480 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] • The reference dates back to 17.02.2000.

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as Typists since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of Typists is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08//09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC along with 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as clerks in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/ second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 34 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002 interalia denyied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC.The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right toEquality and Right of Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5481 party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractor for miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second party submitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief, Exh. -14, 16 and 17 who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
5. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of Typists as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
The Ministry referred the matter for contractual workmen working as Typist in the prohibited category as per notification letter dated 08.09.1994. The second party examined Dharmendra B. Joshi, one of the workmen who reiterated the pleadings made in the statement of claim but in his cross examination he admitted that he has not undergone any typing or computer post. They were not given any appointment letter by the ONGC. PF was debited and deposit by the contractors. Salary was also paid by the contractors. He further stated that he or any other workmen never protested as and when their control was made over/transferred from one contractor to another contractor. He does not know the date of joining of other workmen. He was skilled worker but wages were paid by the contractor to all the workmen.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Solanki Hasmukhbhai K. and 33 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC Ltd., Mehsana, as Typists in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92-LW dated 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "Typists" is a prohibited category. The 34 workmen concerned in this reference are working as Typists in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in the schedule of reference are doing Typists work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of Typists work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do Typists work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any5482 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power Kamdar Sahakari Mandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 34 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
The Panchayat hence submits the 34 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act. "
7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license. If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 34 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Typists or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Joshi Darmenderkumar Bhanuprasad at Exh.-12 is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of Typists is given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Typists as alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as Typists.
9. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5483 prohibited category of Typists but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross-examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of Typists. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfill the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is whole some identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
15. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice Chancellor Lakhnow University, Lakhnaw Vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare & Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC &Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana & Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by Appropriate
Government under sub section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract labour, in any
5484 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot be required to
order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India &Anr. Vs. RamsinghThakor&Ors. reported in2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja & Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. & Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandiz also held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments)
VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments)
IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujrat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments)
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujrat high court in ONGC vShri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench in Umadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, Kendriya Vidya Sangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide ShilpaJinda case (supra)]
XI. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XII. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5485 Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submitted Brief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i) The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd and they were not exhibited.
(ii) The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The workers working for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(ii) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.
(A) Bhilwara Doodh Utpadak Sangh Ltd.

Vinod Kumar Sharma & Others
(2011 CLR P. 1079) (SC)
In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
(4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.
(B) Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors.
2001 LLJ (II) P : 1087 (SC)
119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been5486 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.

17. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
18. The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.

"Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper coordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5487(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and alsoin direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issues was lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and also in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of Typists and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having that eligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorically denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves more than thirty workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of Typists. The post of Typists is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
4. Issue 3:In the light of above findings this issue is decided that all these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
19. The award is passed accordingly.

If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"

1. The union representing the workmen filed its statement of claims Ex-3 dated 11/07/2000 and stated therein interalia that the concerned persons have been working as Firemen since years on permanent posts and nature of work performed by them is of perennial in nature and is integral part of the business of the ONGC LTD. It is further stated that the category of Firemen is being prohibited by the Central Government vide Government order dated 08//09/1994, therefore, they should be treated as permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd from their initial date of joining. It has also been stated that the arrangement between the ONGC and contractors is sham, bogus relying upon the judgment of Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1978 II LLJ 397 as well as another judgment reported in 1997 I CLR 292. The union has therefore prayed for granting permanent status and to extend all benefits including wages, equivalent to the permanent workmen of the ONGC alongwith 24% interest on the arrears of pay. The union has also alternatively prayed that the concerned persons should be treated as permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd with effect from 08/09/1994 as they have been working as Firemen in the prohibited category since then.
2. The Union/ second party also at the relevant time moved an application for interim relief vide Exh.-4 in the matter and interalia prayed for restraining the First party, ONGC Ltd to change or modify the service conditions of the 16 concerned persons in any manner without prior permission of the Hon'ble Tribunal. In the said matter interim relief was granted on 29/08/2000 and the same was subsequently confirmed by Tribunal vide its order dated 18/11/2002. The Hon'ble Tribunal directed that the interim relief granted earlier is confirmed till the final disposal of the main reference case. Hence it will be said that the concerned persons have been continued in employment of First Party ONGC Ltd till date by virtue of interim order passed by the Tribunal on 29.08.2000.
3. The First Party ONGC filed its Written Statement dated 18/02/2002 interalia denyied all the contentions raised in the Statement of Claims as well as contentions raised in the aforesaid application for interim relief. The First Party, ONGC Ltd., herein after referred to as ONGC, further submitted that there is no Master and Servant relationship between ONGC and the concerned persons/workmen and the said persons were not engaged in prohibited category as per Central Government notification and therefore they are not entitled for absorption with the first party. The ONGC further submitted that the ONGC is registered as a Principal Employer u/s 7 of the Contractual Labour Regulation Act, 1970, hereinafter referred to as CLRA, 1970, and the concerned Contractors have also obtained license from the Competent Authority u/s 12 of the said Act. The ONGC further submitted that the concerned persons have neither been engaged nor have been deployed or supervised by the representatives of the ONGC and they are not doing any work which may be said to be of permanent in nature or which can be equated with the work done by regular employees of the ONGC. The said persons are not supervised, paid or even have been subject to administrative, financial or disciplinary action of the ONGC.The said persons were deployed by the concerned contractors as per their requirements from time to time. It is also submitted in the written statement that ONGC being State under Article 12 has to follow the prescribed rules for recruitment and has to observe the principles of Right to Equality and Right of Equal Opportunity to all as envisaged in the Constitution of India. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in SCA No. 6050/1986 and other allied matters and also relied upon judgment of Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Cipla Ltd. It is also submitted that if absorption is granted then the same would tantamount to be back door entry. The ONGC also submitted that the designation given by the union to the second party is purely imaginary and concocted and that the ONGC awarded job contract to the contractor through valid and legal tender process and the contract is awarded to Techno-Commercially Fit Contractor for miscellaneous jobs of casual nature. The ONGC also relied on other judgments passed by the Hon'ble Apex Court and requested for rejection of reference/case.
4. The union/second party submitted Documents vide-list dated NIL received by ONGC on 03/10/2012 consisting of 81 documents while the ONGC submitted D-list vide Exh.-13 of 30 documents. The union examined three concerned persons vide affidavit/examination-in-chief, Exh. -14, 16 and 17 who have also been cross-examined by the ONGC.
5. The ONGC submitted that if the documents produced by the union are perused then Sr. Nos. 2 to 75 are copies of utilization records for various months. The said documents just show that the services of some of the concerned persons have been utilized by a department of ONGC. It is submitted that the said documents have not been proved by the union, therefore same have not been exhibited and thus they cannot be relied upon. For the sake of arguments even if such documents are taken on their face value then also the same would not prove that the concerned persons were working in prohibited category of Firemen as alleged or otherwise. The union has also produced bank statements of 3-4 concerned persons and if the same are perused then it would be crystal clear that the concerned persons are employees of the contractor and are paid by the contractor. Hence the documents produced by the union do not hold any ground or help the case of the union.
5490 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]The Ministry referred the matter for contractual workmen working as Firemen in the prohibited category as per notification letter dated 08.09.1994. The second party examined one of the workmen Ramsingh Bhai Chaudhary vide Ext. 12. He reiterated the pleadings in his examination in chief but in his cross examination he stated that he has no proof that they have been working with the ONGC.
6. The second party's learned counsel submitted written arguments which are reproduced as under:
"(1) This reference is caused to the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (CGIT for short) by the Govt. of India by order dated 17.02.2000 to adjudicate and decide the following terms of reference.
"Whether the demand of Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat stating that Shri Rathod Arjunbhai D. and 15 others (as per list attached) were deployed by ONGC Ltd., Mehsana, as Firemen in prohibited category of employment vide Notification No. U/23013/4/92-LW dated 08.09.1994 and that the concerned workmen are entitled to be treated in direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement along with all benefits is legal and justified? If yes, then to what relief the concerned workmen are entitled and from which date?"
(2) Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat (Panchayat for short) for and on behalf of the workmen has submitted its statement of claims Ext. 3 date 29.08.2000 before the Tribunal. Notification of Government of India, Ministry of Labour prohibiting the employment of contract labour in various works specimen in schedule is annexed hereto in the establishment of Oil and Natural Gas Commission in the country date 08.09.1994 is also a record of the case (Ext. 13).
(3) As per the said notification of Govt. of India "Firemen"is a prohibited category. The 16 workmen concerned in this reference are working as Firemen in the prohibited category. As per the provision contained in contract labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act once a contract arrangement is prohibited the workmen are to be deemed workmen of the principal employer. In this case the workmen named in the schedule of reference are doing Firemen work and hence are in the prohibited category of workmen and as such they are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd.
(4) The ONGC Ltd. could not have permitted to continue the contract labours employment in the nature of Firemen work. Continuing to employ contract labour to do Firemen work as such is illegal. The whole arrangement on and from the date of notification 8/9/94 is bad in law.
(5) The next submission is that the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970 (Contract Act for short) is applicable to the ONGC Ltd. As per the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act 1970, it is necessary for the Principal Employer (ONGC Ltd. for short) to obtain a certificate of registration to appoint a contractor and the contractor so appointed should obtain a licence under the contract act before starting the contract work. In the absence of a Registration Certificate with the principal employer and / or in the absence of a licence with the contractor the contract arrangement is thus sham and bogus. The contract act does not permit an employer to appoint contractor without licence. Any contract without a registration with the Principal Employer and any contractor without a licence to employ contract labour are illegal and void. In our case the reference is made on 17.02.2000. The workmen had served their demand notice dated 01.07.1999. This makes it amply clear that the workmen were working in ONGC Ltd. even before 01.07.1999. There is no Registration Certificate prior to 01.07.1999 with ONGC Ltd. A few documents have been produced by ONGC Ltd. It reveals from the list produced, the list is received by the union on 11.09.2002. Item No. 3 of the list states that the registration is obtained for and on behalf of one contractor i.e. Public Power Kamdar Sahakari Mandali Ltd. It is for a period of 2 years i.e. from 01.07.1998. Item No. 1 in the list is the zerox copy of the certificate of registration of 17.08.1999 with retrospective date.
A bunch of zerox papers received by the Panchayat on 11.09.2002 produced by the ONGC in on record of the case. Who has produced the papers before the court is not known. The person producing the said bunch of papers is not known to anyone. On reading the papers it is seen they are the zerox copies of the certificate of registrations of difference date and zerox copies of the licence issued to difference contractor for different period. However the said bunch of papers has not been produced properly and hence is not exhibited by the CGIT and so it is of no use whatsoever.
The Whole arrangement between ONGC Ltd. and the so-called parties is sham and bogus. The contractor has not been examined as a witness by the ONGC Ltd. before the tribunal. Hence the tribunal is handicapped from knowing the details of each contract. The arrangement as such is sham and bogus.
The Panchayat hence submits that 16 workmen are the permanent workmen of ONGC Ltd. and they should be held so.
The Panchayat hence submits the 16 workers are in the prohibited category and as such are the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from the date the contract got abolished under the CLRA Act."[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5491 7. In reply the ONGC submitted that as stated hereinabove as many as 30 documents are produced by the ONGC vide Exh-30. The same include copy of registrations issued to the ONGC by the competent authority under the Contract Labour(R & A) Act, 1970, various communications by the Competent Authority, copy of licenses issued by the Competent Authority to various contractors and also copy of agreements entered into between ONGC and various contractors. It is also submitted that the Competent Authority would not have issued Registration or License if the work was of permanent or perennial nature. On the contrary if the item No. 2 from the sad D-list of Aug. 1999 is perused, then it is crystal clear that the Authority has instructed the ONGC to inform all the contractors to obtain labour license. If the contract agreements are perused then also it is also clear that contracts have been awarded after following a legal and valid tender procedure and the same are given for different types of seasonal and casual nature of jobs. Thus from the above documentary evidences itself makes it clear that the contracts are given for miscellaneous jobs of seasonal and casual nature after following valid and legal process and the Registration as well as Licenses are issued by the Competent Authority under the CLRA, 1970. Therefore the contract is genuine and legal and hence the reference is required to be rejected based on the documentary evidences.
8. It is further argued by First party ONGC that as stated hereinabove 3 of the total 16 persons have only been examined by the union before this Hon'ble Tribunal. It is pertinent to note here that no documentary evidence is put on record to prove that the concerned persons are working in prohibited category of Firemen or they are being supervised and/or controlled by the officers of the ONGC. All the three persons have been cross examined by the ONGC. If the cross examination of 1 of the concerned persons i.e. Chaudhary Ramsangbhai Samjibhai at Exh.-12 is perused then also it is found that no appointment letter was given by the ONGC to any of the concerned person or workman. The witness has further admitted that salary is paid by the contractor and the PF is also deducted from his salary and no designation of Firemen is given to him. He has further admitted that he is doing work of miscellaneous nature. He has also admitted that other concerned persons are also doing the same miscellaneous works. He has further admitted that he does not know the age, date of joining, qualification or the address of the other concerned persons. Thus the cross examination of the concerned witnesses itself give clear conclusion that the said persons are doing miscellaneous work and not working as Firemen as alleged. From the Bank statement of the said persons as well as from the cross examination it is clear that he is being paid by the contractor and his PF was also deducted by the said contractor. Now if the cross examination is read along with contract agreement between ONGC and contractor produced by the ONGC then it is clear that the concerned persons are doing work of miscellaneous nature and not as Firemen.
9. The ONGC submits that as per the settled legal position documentary evidences would prevail over oral evidence. In the above matter the ONGC has produced documents of registration, license, and contract agreement etc. to prove that the concerned persons are doing miscellaneous work of seasonal and casual nature and the concerned persons/witnesses have also in their cross examination admitted that they are doing miscellaneous work. The union has merely stated in its Statement of Claims that the work is of perennial nature and the concerned persons are being controlled and supervised by the officers of the ONGC but they have not produced a single document to substantiate the said contention. The union has also merely made a bald statement that the concerned workers are working in the prohibited category of Firemen but no evidence to that effect is led by the union to substantiate the same. On the other hand from the documents produced by the ONGC coupled with the cross-examination of the concerned persons it is crystal clear that the work done by the concerned persons is of miscellaneous nature and they are not doing any job which would fall in the category of Firemen. As per the settled position of law, the onus is upon the claimant to substantiate or prove his case but in the present case the union has miserably failed to do so and therefore on this ground alone the reference is required to be rejected.
10. The ONGC further submitted that ad-interim relief has been granted in favour of the concerned persons from the day one i.e. from August, 2000 and the same has continued till date and it is because of the orders passed by this Hon'ble Tribunal the concerned persons were permitted to continue in job till date. In other words the concerned persons are in litigious employment. As per the proposition law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Umadevi as well as other landmark judgments such persons who have been continued only due to orders passed by the Court or due to pendency of cases before the Courts cannot claim for regularization stating that they have been in continuous employment for years together.
11. It is further submitted that as stated hereinabove, ONGC is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and therefore has to abide by the provisions of Article 14, 16 as well as Recruitment Rules while recruiting any persons. Admittedly the concerned persons have neither been appointed by the ONGC nor have faced interview, selection process and induction process as required by the recruitment rules. The said persons also do not fulfill the eligibility criteria as per the Recruitment Rules. The Recruitment Rules of the ONGC provide for the selection process before recruiting any person and the same is admittedly not followed in the present case as the concerned persons are contractual employees. Therefore on this ground alone the concerned persons are not entitled to any relief as the same would tantamount to back door entry and would be violative of Article 14 and 16 of the Constitution of India.
5492 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]12. It is also submitted by ONGC that admittedly the said persons have been engaged by the Contractor and yet no contractor i.e. their employer has been joined as a party in the present proceedings and therefore on the ground of non- joinder of necessary party alone the present reference is required to be rejected. Similar view has been taken by the Hon'ble Allahabad High Court in case of M/s. NTPC Ltd. reported in 2015 (144) FLR 248.
13. The ONGC also submitted that as stated hereinabove as per admission of the concerned persons they are being employed by the contractors and are paid by the said contractors. It has also emerged in the cross examination that they are being paid on daily wage basis. It is also undisputed that the work performed by them is of miscellaneous nature. It is also submitted that the concerned workers accepted such appointment with open eyes and therefore now they cannot turn back and claim regularization or equal pay by way of litigious employment.
14. The ONGC also submitted that the Hon'ble Apex Court has in series of judgments held that doctrine of separation of powers is to be followed by the three wings and as per the said doctrine granting of regularization or equal pay should not be done by the Judiciary and the same should be left to the Executive Wing of the state. The Hon'ble Apex Court has also held that host of factors are to be considered before granting of regularization or equal pay like selection, interview, induction, age, educational qualification, roles and responsibilities, nature of work etc. The Hon'ble Courts have held that only if there is whole some identity between the two sets of employees then in that case only equal pay can be granted and not otherwise. As stated hereinabove in the present case the Union has not proved that there is wholesome identity between the concerned persons and regular employees of the ONGC and therefore they are not entitled for any relief as prayed for.
15. The ONGC relied upon several judgments which are as under:
I. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a case of Vice Chancellor Lucknow University, Lucknow Vs. Akhilesh Kumar Khare & Anr. reported in 2015 III CLR 464 held that the Courts cannot issue any direction for absorption / regularization of temporary, contractual, casual, daily wage or ad-hoc employees.
II. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Account Officer (A&I) APSRTC & Ors. Vs. K.V. Ramana & Ors.2007 LLR 338 held that contractual workers who have completed 240 days without any break cannot be regularized dehors the rules of selection as they had not undergone the departmental selection process.
III. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in a landmark judgment of Dena Nath and Ors. reported in 1992 (64) FLR 39 held that the CLRA Act merely regulates the employment of contract labour in certain establishment and provides for its abolition in certain circumstances. Non compliance of the provisions only exposes to prosecution but the contract labour employee does not become direct employees of principal employer.
IV. The Hon'ble Supreme Court then in case of Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors. reported in 2001 (2) SCSLJ = 2001 LLR 961 also laid down a ratio that
"Neither Section 10 of the CLRA Act nor any other provision in the Act, whether expressly or by necessary
implication, provides for automatic absorption of contract labour on issuing a notification by Appropriate
Government under sub section (1) of Section 10, prohibiting employment of contract labour, in any
process, or other work in any establishment. Consequently the principal employer cannot be required to
order absorption of the contract labour working in the concerned establishment."
V. In Union of India &Anr. Vs. RamsinghThakor&Ors. reported in 2012 AIR SCW 3806 Hon'ble Apex Court held that regularization of services is an executive function and such direction cannot be given by the Judiciary.
VI. Hon'ble Apex Court in case of Balvant Rai Saluja & Anr. Vs. Air India Ltd. & Ors. 2014 III CLR 751 held that contractual workers working in statutory canteen as per the Factories Act who are under certain degree of control of the Principal Employer also cannot claim regularization as there is no parity in the nature of work, mode of appointment, qualification etc. between regular employees of the partly employer and concerned persons. In the present case admittedly the second party workmen are engaged by the contractor like in the above case and hence they are not entitled for regularization.
VII. The Division Bench of Hon'ble High Court of Gujarat in LPA 530 in the case of Jhon Peter Farnandiz also held that as per the position of law settled by the Hon'ble Apex Court in various judgments contractual workers have not undergone the selection process and therefore they cannot claim regularization. (citations is not given in written arguments).
VIII. The ONGC also relied upon the judgment passed by the Hon'ble Division Bench of Gujarat High Court in Hadvad Nagar Palika wherein the Hon'ble Bench held that compliance of Section 25F is also not required in case of daily wages. (Citation is not given in written arguments).
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5493IX. In LPA No. 2038/2004 in case of Shukla M.P. Vs. Municipal Commissioner also the Division Bench of Hon'ble Gujrat High Court held that once the concerned person has not followed the selection process, he cannot be entitled for regularization.(Citation is not given in written arguments).
X. In case of latest judgment of Gujrat high court in ONGC vShri Chetan Kumar Patel and Others reported in 2016 III CLR Page 106 workmen prayed for regularization with ONGC. The Hon'ble High Court has after considering the judgment of Constitution Bench in Umadevi reported in 2006 II CLR 261, Indian Drugs Pharmaceuticals, Kendriya Vidya Sangathan, U.P. State Electricity Board, Official Liquidator Vs. Dayanand etc. held that—
• If it were an engagement or appointment on daily wages or casual basis, the same would come to an end when it is discontinued.
• Merely because a temporary employee or a casual wage worker is continued for a time being beyond the term of his appointment, he would not be entitled to be absorbed in regular service or made permanent, merely on the strength on such continuance, if the original appointment was not made by following a due process of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules.
• Regularisation is not a mode of appointment.
• The Government or the instrumentality of the State cannot regularize the appointment made contrary to the course of selection as envisaged by the relevant rules governing the posts.
• The High Court acting under Article 226 of the Constitution of India should not issue directions for regularization or permanent continuance unless the recruitment itself was made regularly and in terms of the constitutional scheme.
• There should be no further by-passing of the constitutional requirement and regularization or making permanent those not duly appointed as per the constitutional scheme. [vide ShilpaJinda case (supra)]
XI. The present first party submits that after the constitution bench judgment the Hon'ble Apex Court in 2010 in case of State of Karnataka &Ors. Vs. Gadilingappa and Ors. held that any judgment / direction contrary to the directions given in Umadevi's case [2006(4) SCC 1] shall not have a precedent status.
XII. The First Party submits that, the first party has examined its officer Mr. Patel in Ref.(CGITA) No. 268/2004 and he has stated that in ONGC recruitment is being done under the R & P Regulations. The names are invited from the employment exchange and thereafter screening by way of written and oral test and thereafter medical examination the regular workmen were appointed. Admittedly these persons/workmen have not undergone this process and hence they are not entitled to get absorption with ONGC. ONGC is State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India and it has to follow provisions of Articles 14, 16 and 309 of the Constitution of India at the time of recruitment. If the prayer of the second party is granted then it would amount to be back door entry. This cannot be permitted under the settled law. Similar view has been taken by the Constitution Bench comprising of five judges of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in case of Secretary, State of Karnataka and Ors. Vs. UMADEVI and others, reported in 2006 II CLR 261.
16. The Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat ("Panchayat" for short)/second party's learned counsel submitted Brief Reply to Written Submissions of the First Party-ONGC Ltd which is reproduced as under:
"(i) The First Party ONGC Ltd. has produced documents vide list Ext. 13 of 30 documents which was not proved by the ONGC Ltd. and the documents are copies of Registration Certificates, Licence, other communications and agreements etc. If we persue the registration certificate at Sr. No. 1 date of issuing certificate is 16.11.1999 which is after arising the dispute vide demand notice date 01.07.1999 and at the same time licence were also issued with effect from ante date which is not legal according to contract labour (R & A) Act, 1970. It is also seen from the agreements that the agreements are also made from retrospective dates, which is also against the settled position of law. However all these documents are not adopted or proved by ONGC Ltd. and they were not exhibited.
(ii) The first party ONGC Ltd. has examined two witness, one Mr. B.P. Rathod in Ref(CGITA) : 268/2004 at Ext. 16 and other is Mr. Isikella Krishna Murthy in Ref(CGITA): 270/2004 at Ext. 14 both the witness in their cross examination has admitted that the concerned workers are working in ONGC Ltd. at Mehsana since long. They also admits that work was provided by ONGC Ltd. and place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. The workers work on which machinery or in field area or in office area is off ONGC Ltd. The5494 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] workers working for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. so from the above it is clear that the workers are of the first party ONGC Ltd. which is not disputed.
(i) The second party Panchayat has examined three witness in this case, vide Ext. 14, 16 and 17 and Panchayat also examined their witness in each cases, and all the witness admits that they are working for the ONGC Ltd., Place of work is in the premises of ONGC Ltd. work provided by ONGC Ltd., for their work required tools, tackles, spare parts provided by ONGC Ltd., Stationeries, Machineries, Radio-wireless sets and Telephone etc. on which concerned workers are working is of ONGC Ltd. Transportation facilities also provided by the ONGC Ltd. for working on filed area. The workers have to work under the instruction and supervision of the officer of the ONGC Ltd. The workmen are working round the clock in each shift. They are doing permanent and day to day work for the benefits of the ONGC Ltd. The first party has never disputed the working of the workers and their date of joining in ONGC Ltd. It is clear from the oral evidence of workman in each case that they are doing work on permanent basis and day to day which is prohibited by Central Government notification dated 08.09.1994.
(ii) The second party Panchayat submits that the various judgements of the Apex Court, it is settled that workers engaged through so-called contract arrangement and the contracts are bogus and camouflage then the workers are be treated as the permanent workers of the principal employer.
(A) Bhilwara Doodh Utpadak Sangh Ltd.
V/s
Vinod Kumar Sharma & Others
(2011 CLR P. 1079) (SC)
In the above case, Hon'ble Supreme Court held that:
(3) In order to avoid their liability under various labour statutes employers are very often resorting to subterfuge by trying to show that their employees of a contractor. It is high time that this subterfuge must come to an end.
(4) Labour statutes were meant to protect the employees/workmen because it was realized that the employers and the employees are not on an equal bargaining position. Hence, protection of employees was required so that they may not be exploited. However, this new technique of subterfuge has been adopted by some employers in recent years in order to deny the rights of the workmen under various labour statutes by showing that the concerned workmen are not their employees but are the employees/workmen of a contractor, or that they are merely daily wage or short term or casual employees when in fact they are doing the work of regular employees.
(5) This court cannot countenance such practices any more. Globalization / liberalization in the name of growth cannot be at the human cost of exploitation of workers.
(B) Steel Authority of India Ltd. and Ors.
2001 LLJ (II) P : 1087 (SC)
119 (5) On issuance of prohibition notification under Section 10 (1) of the CLRA Act prohibiting employment of contract labour or otherwise, in an industrial dispute brought before it by any contract labour in regard to conditions of service, the industrial adjudicator will have to consider the question whether the contractor has been interposed either on the ground of having undertaken to produce any given result for the establishment or for supply of contract labour for work of the establishment under a genuine contract or is a mere ruse/ camouflage to evade compliance of various beneficial legislations as to deprive the workers of the benefit there under. It the contract is found to be not genuine but a mere camouflage, the so-called contract labour will have to be treated as employees of the principal employer who shall be directed to regularize the services of the contract labour in the concerned establishment subject to the conditions as may be specified by it for that purpose in the light of Para 6 hereunder.

18. The Position of law, which emerges from the reported decisions of the Supreme Court, is that workmen working under a contract are entitled to raise a demand that they should be declared as workmen of the principal employer. It is always open to the workmen concerned to place materials before the industrial adjudicator to show that the contract between the principal employer and the contract labourer is sham or not genuine, and claim declaration that they were always the employees of the principal employer and are entitled to appropriate service conditions. When such a dispute[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5495 is raised, it is not a dispute for abolition of labour contract. Hence, the provisions of Section 10 of the Act will not bar either the raising, or the adjudication, of such a dispute. When such a dispute is raised, industrial adjudicator has to decide whether the contract is sham or genuine. It is only if adjudicator comes to a conclusion that the contract is sham, then he will have jurisdiction to adjudicate the dispute. If however, he comes to a conclusion that the contract is genuine, he will have to dismiss the reference and may refer the workmen to the appropriate Government of or abolition of contract labour under Section 10 of the act.
In the light of above referred to principles of law, the dispute raised in the petition will have to be considered by this court. However before resolving the dispute raised in the petition, it would be relevant to advert to oral evidence adduced by the parties before the tribunal.
19. The factors which may establish that a contract between the principal employer and the labour contractor is a mere paper arrangement or an eye wash or a camouflage or a ruse or a façade or a name lender are; (i) activities/business of the principal employer, (ii) genuine need or requirement of engaging contract labour, (iii) length of continuous and uninterrupted service of workmen, (iv) nature of work done by workmen, i.e. whether the work is perennial in nature or intermittent, (v) who has, in fact, supplied the labour force to the principal employer, meaning thereby, whether the services of the workmen were made available to the principle employer by the labour contractor after making recruitment, (vi) extent of supervision and control of the workmen by principal employer, (vii) whether the workers do the labour work to produce goods or service for business of the principal employer, and (viii) whether the provisions of the Act relating to registration and licence etc. are complied with. The plea that the industrial adjudicator cannot take into consideration the factors mentioned in Clauses (a) to (d) of Section 10 (2) of the Act to arrive at the finding as to whether the labour contracts are genuine or not cannot be accepted in view of the principles laid down in Gujarat Electricity Board V. Hind Mazdoor Sabha (supra) at Page 67, Paragraph 59.

2006 SSC (L&S) P. 530
"Both employers and employees have their respective obligations. They must have the appreciation of each other's responsibilities, duties and obligations. The Trade Union and Labour Union should understand and appreciate the fact that Labour is not a commodity nor is it a mere supply of Labour force at the managements disposal. Essentially, Labour is the real basis that underlines the production of goods and services. Through the work should the human personality and its sense of responsibility be able to unfold, management should appreciate this and always attribute its success to the trained and effective labour force. It must be understood by all concerns that both the employees and employers are vital for any industry and unless there is proper co-ordination, the smooth functioning of any industry would be difficult.
From the all judgments it is clear that the workmen of the concerned disputes are permanent workmen of the Principal Employer and not of the so-called contractors.
(5) The criteria of the judgments of State of Karnataka V/s Umadevi and Ors. Are not applicable to this case, because these are the workers are not daily wager, they working on regular basis and has paid on monthly basis and they are doing permanent and perennial work for the ONGC Ltd.
In view of what is stated above the concerned workers are of the ONGC Ltd. and they should be treated as the permanent workmen of the ONGC Ltd. from their date of joining.
In this reference, there are two issues which are to be addressed by the Tribunal.
1. Whether the workmen involved in this reference were/are working in prohibited category and alsoin direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement?
2. Whether the workmen can claim any advantage of litigious employment?
3. Whether all these workmen are entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits?
Issue 1: Here I would like to clarify that burden to prove aforesaid issues was lying on the second party. But from the evidence oral and documentary on record, the second party workmen have miserably failed to prove that they were working in prohibited category and alsoin direct employment in ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project from the date of their engagement because the witnesses examined by the Second Party Union in their statement on oath have confined their evidence to themselves leaving other workmen who were not examined by the Second Party Union clearly stating that they were engaged by contractors from time to time. Second, every post in prohibited category and of permanent nature5496 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] has some prescribed eligible qualification. Neither of witnesses examined has stated as to what was the eligible qualification of prohibited category of the post of Firemen and as to whether all the workmen involved in this reference were also having that eligible qualification. Third, it is basic law that post of permanent cadre cannot be filled without following the due procedure of selection for that post. Fourth, they have not categorically denied that they were not contractual workmen. Fifth they have admitted that the wages were paid by the contractor and provident fund was also deposited by the contractor. Sixth, neither of witnesses examined has clarified as to what work they used to do. Seventh, the reference involves sixteen workmen and neither of witnesses examined has stated that as to whether other workmen were having the required eligible qualification of the post of Firemen. The post of Firemen is in prohibited category but High Court of Allahabad has stayed the Notification No. 643(E) dt 08.09.1994 related to prohibited category. It is also noteworthy that none of the workmen appears to have been engaged as Firemen. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
Issue 2: There are number of decisions of Apex Court as produced by First party which is not rebutted by second party that any person cannot take advantage of litigious employment. Thus this issue is decided in negative and against the second party workmen.
4. Issue 3: In the light of above findings this issue is decided thatall these workmen are not entitled to be regularized as permanent employee of ONGC Ltd, Mehsana Project along with all benefits. However First party shall consider those workmen who are having eligible qualification for the related post as and when becomes vacant after following the due procedure of selection for that post including in prohibited category giving them reasonable age relaxation.
17. The award is passed accordingly.

However the first party did not prefer to submit the written statement, therefore, the case was ordered to proceed ex parte against the first party but the second party despite giving opportunity to lead evidence on 28.07.2016 as well as on today that is 27.09.2016 did not lead evidence. Thus it appears that the second party has no willingness to prosecute the case.

1. Having received the Order No. L-22012/131/1999–IR(C-II) dated 20.09.2002, No. L-22012/526/99-IR(CM-II) dated 21.06.2002 & No. L-22012/526/99-IR(CM-II) dated 21.06.2002 of the above said references from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the disputes, reference case No. 167 of 1999, 18 of 2002 & 20 of 2002 were registered on 17.12.1999, 08.07.2002 & 18.07.2002 respectively.

Reference No. 167 of 1999
2. The General Secretary of Colliery Mazdoor Sabha has filed written statement. He has filed 2 (Two) lists of workmen. The union has stated in brief that Sri Kamruddin Ansari & 103 others mentioned in the list were converted from piece rated workers to time rated workers. These workers are entitled to get their wages fixed, following the principles of protection of pay taking into account the special piece rated allowance and group wages at the time of conversion form piece rated to time rated job some time in the year 1994. Out of 104 workers the management fixed the wages protecting the pay of about 47 workers. But the same has been paid only from August, 2000 whereas[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5503 concerned workmen are entitled to get the same from the date of their conversion i.e. from 04.04.1994. The lists of 47 workers are annexed with the written statement. Management is fully aware that they have no right to lower the wages of workmen and the protection of pay ought to be granted. Protection of pay is the basic principle of service jurisprudence and no body has right to violate the same. This is unfair labour practice. The management has no right to lower the wages fixed wrongly the pay of their workmen without any fault of workmen and protection of pay ought to be granted form date of conversion. Denial of protection of pay tantamount to denial of fundamental rights as well as human rights and violation of the same are not permissible under any provision of law.
3. The union has filed the list of Sri Ghana Swain & 93 others who have been converted from piece rated to time rated in the year 1992 following N.C.W.A.- IV (National Coal Wage Agreement –IV). The aforesaid 94 workmen namely Sri Ghana Swain and 93 others at the time of their conversion the principles of protection of pay had been followed and their wages had been fixed following N.C.W.A.- IV. But thereafter N.C.W.A.- V which have been signed in the month of December, 1996 and have been given affect form 01.01.1991 and as such at the time of conversion of the aforesaid 94 workmen which took palace in the year 1992. There pay ought to have been fixed following N.C.W.A.- V, taking into account the Special Piece Rated amount and Group Wages as per N.C.W.A.- V. Due to non- fixation of pay of concerned workmen following N.C.W.A.- V each workman is suffering from huge financial loss without their fault. By virtue of N.C.W.A.- V the wages of workers are to be revised and their wages ought to be fixed following N.C.W.A.- V first and thereafter the same ought to be fixed in the time rated job following the protection of pay taking into account SPRA and Group Wages denial by management is unfair labour practice. The union has prayed that Sri Kamruddin Ansari & 103 others are entitled to re-fix their wages following the principles of protection of pay from the date of their conversion from piece rated to time rated together with interest and to hold that Sri Ghana Swain & 93 others are entitled to get their pay fixed following N.C.W.A.- V taking into account of SPRA and Group Wages as per N.C.W.A.- V and are entitled to get arrears of pay from date of their conversion together with interest.
4. The agent of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has filed written statement, denying the claim of union. The Agent of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has stated, in brief, in his written statement that matter is not maintainable on the ground and the union has no authority to represent the workmen in the instant dispute. The union has agitated the dispute before Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), Raniganj by their letter 08.05.1999 and again agitated before Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), Asansol by letter dated 10.05.1999. The conversion was done in accordance with voluntarily declaration of the concerned workmen and they are regularized for the post they are entailed to, after conversion. The wages provided to them as per with the post and in accordance with the circular in this regard. Claim of inclusion of SPRA and Group Wages with Basic Wages can not be considered because the workmen who are engaged in the work of piece rated work only they will be entitled to have the benefits of Special Allowance. After conversion of job according to their desire they are stopped to claim beyond the wages provided in N.C.W.A. for the post they are regularized. The action of management is proper and justified and the workmen are not entitled to any relief.
5. The union has filed rejoinder written statement and has denied the allegation of the Agent of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. They have stated that the statement made in the written statement of the Agent of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited are vague and not supported by any document or any statutory provisions of law and have been denied. The union has stated that the statement contained in the written statement of the Agent of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited are incorrect vague and indefinite and in utter violation of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947.
6. The union has filed following documentary evidences :-
(i) Xerox copy of the letter dated 03.03.2000 addressed to Dy. C.P.M. of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited by the Personnel Manager (E&IR), (ii) Xerox copy of the letter dated 16.03.1999 addressed to the letter dated 16.03.1999 addressed to the Dy. C.P.M. of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited by the General Manager (P&IR), (iii) Xerox copy of the letter dated 05.02.1999 sent to the Secretary to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour by the Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), Raniganj, (iv) Xerox copy of the letter dated July, 1994 to the General Manager of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited by the General Manager (P&IR), (v) Xerox copy of the letter Ref. No. A.KNT/P&IR/PRTR/1486 dated 11.05.1993.
The union has field affidavit of Sri Uday Gangopadhyay, Sri Kajal Chandra Dhibar and Sri Juman Mia. The learned advocate of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has cross-examined these witnesses.
The Agent of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has not filed any documentary or oral evidence.
7. I have heard Sri N. Ganguly, learned advocate on behalf of the workmen and Sri P. K. Goswami, learned advocate on behalf of the management.
5504 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]8. The learned advocate of the management Sri P. K. Goswami has argued that the concerned workmen were converted form piece rated workers to time rated workers on the request of concerned workmen. The allowances which are admissible to the employees working in the piece rated are not admissible to the employees working in the time rated. Since conversion for piece rated to time rated was affected on the request of concerned workmen they are not entitled to get allowances admissible to piece rated employees. The reference is not maintainable.
On the other hand Sri N. Ganguly, learned advocate on behalf of the workmen has argued that protection of pay is the basic concept of service jurisprudence and at the time of conversion the management is duty bound to fix the pay of the workers following the principles of protection of pay. Moreover the pay has been protected for 47 workmen out of 104 workmen mentioned in the list of Sri Kamruddin Ansari. But in the same list the pay has not been protected for 57 workmen even the pay of 47 workmen ought to have been protected for 04.04.1994 whereas pay protection has been granted from August, 2000. In the second list of Sri Ghana Swain the pay protection has been granted as per N.C.W.A.- IV. At the relevant time N.C.W.A.- V was applicable therefore there pay ought to have been protected as per N.C.W.A.- V. It has been argued by Sri N. Ganguly that there is no oral or documentary evidence that conversion has been affected as per request of concerned workmen. Even if conversion has been affected from piece rated to time rated as per request of concerned workman even then denial of protection of pay is denial of fundamental right.
9. The aforesaid reference has two facets :–
(a) Whether the fixation of pay of Sri Kamruddin Ansari & 103 others are proper and justified at the time of their conversion form piece rated to time rated job.
(b) Whether Sri Ghana Swain & 93 others are entitled to get fixation of pay following the N.C.W.A.- V.
10. The union has specifically stated in Para- 4 of their written statement that out of 104 workmen mentioned in the reference, the pay of 47 workers had been properly fixed and paid in the year 2000. But they are entitled to get the same on and from 04.04.1994, the date of their conversion. There appears to no difference between the 47 workmen who have already been granted pay protection in the year 2000 and the rest 57 workmen whose names are in the same list. The Agent of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has stated in his written statement that the workers were voluntarily converted from piece rated job to time rated job, but it has not been supported by any document. No document has been filed to substantiate their allegation. Even Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has not examined any witness to prove the allegation contained in the written statement. Even if for sake of argument if it is presumed that the workers on their own accord have been converted from piece rated to time rated in that case also the management has not right to reduce the wages, ignoring the basic principles of protection of pay, particularly when the management has granted pay protection to 47 workmen of the same list who are placed in the same circumstances. Agent of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has not clarified that, what was the basis for granting the protection of pay to 47 workmen, and grounds of refusal of protection of pay to rest of the workmen. If management had granted the pay protection from August, 2000 then why he refused to grant protection of pay from date of conversion from piece rated to time rated to rest of the workmen. It clearly appears to be unfair labour practice.
11. So far as point (b) of the reference is concerned related to Sri Ghana & 93 others in the year 1992 protection of pay had been granted and following the same the pay of Sri Ghana Swain & 93 others have been fixed when N.C.W.A.- IV was been followed. Later on N.C.W.A.- V came into play which has been given effect on and from 01.07.1991 and consequently the pay of the workers namely Sri Ghana Swain & 93 others ought to have been fixed following N.C.W.A.- V. The authorized representative of the union and 2 (Two) concerned workmen have been examined on behalf of the workmen. They have been cross-examined at the length. In oral evidence they supported the statements mentioned in the written statement of the union at the same time management failed to prove their case made out in their written statement. As per letter dated 03.03.2000 it is apparent that the management agreed to pay the wages claimed and they have paid the same benefits to all other workmen situated in similar circumstances in the year 1999. On so many occasions the management took the matter of re-fixation of pay of the workmen and payment of the same which is evident from the letter dated 16.03.1999.
12. In view of above discussion the action of management of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited in fixing the pay of Sri Kamruddin Ansari & 103 others at the time of conversion form piece rated to time rated and in not fixing the pay of Sri Ghana Swain & 93 other in terms of National Coal Wage Agreement - V is not proper and unjustified. The management of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited is directed to calculate the arrears of wages w.e.f. 04.04.1994, the date of their conversion and to pay the same to the concerned workmen. Management of Bansra Colliery of Kunustoria Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited is directed to fix the pay of 94 workmen namely Sri Ghana Swain & 93 others following the National Coal Wage Agreement - V from their respective date of conversion in the year 1992 and to calculate the arrear of wages and to pay the same.

Case called out. Sri P.K. Das, Ld. Advocate appears for the management. None appears on behalf of the Union.
On perusal of the case record it is found that so far 49 dates have been granted but the Union/Workman neither appearing nor taking any step since long.

But thereafter he never appeared before the Court even after 3 dates. It seems that the Workman/Union is now not at all interested to proceed with the case further. The case is also very old – of the year 2005. As such the case is closed and a 'No Dispute Award' is hereby passed accordingly.

In exercise of powers conferred by clause (d) of Sub-section(1) and Sub-section 2(A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947(14 of 1947), Govt. of India through the Ministry of Labour vide its letter NO. L- 22012/351/95–IR(C-II) dated 13.03.1996 has been pleased to refer the following dispute for adjudication by this Tribunal.
SCHEDULE
"Whether the action of the management of Shyamsundarpur Colliery under Bankola Area of ECL in dismissing the services of Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi, Ex- General Mazdoor is legal and justified? If not, to what relief the concerned workman is entitled to?"
1. Having received the Order NO. L-22012/351/95–IR(C-II) dated 13.03.1996 of the above said reference from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, a reference case No. 13 of 1996 was registered on 19.03.1996. Accordingly an order to that effect was passed to issue notices through the registered post to the parties concerned, directing them to appear in the court, on the date fixed and to file their written statements along with the relevant documents and a list of witnesses in support of their claims. In pursuance of the said order notices by the registered post were sent to the parties concerned. Both the parties appeared in the Tribunal, through their representative.
2. The workman Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi has alleged in his written statement that he was a permanent employee Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. He was suffering from Chronic Infection Hepatitis. He was undergoing medical treatment at Khadra P.H.C. from 13.07.1988 to 20.11.1991. He was advised to take rest as such he could not attend his duty since 13.07.1988. For his absence he was chargesheeted. He duly replied the Chargesheet stating all the material facts along with Medical Certificate. Buy the management did not consider the reply as satisfactory and held an enquiry into the charges against Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi. The workman requested the Enquiry Officer by submitting the application for postponement of enquiry due to his illness. But thereafter he was not further informed about the adjourned dates of enquiry. The enquiry proceeding held ex-parte without intimation to him. The workman was not afforded opportunity to defend himself in the enquiry proceeding. The enquiry was conducted in violation of principles of natural justice. The workman by letter dated 22.03.1991 requested the management to refer him to medical board regarding his fitness. But management dismissed him from service w.e.f 27/31.10.1991. Before issuing dismissal order management did not supply copy of Enquiry Report and proposed punishment. The dismissal order is void 'ab-initio' and liable to be set-a-side. Quantum of punishment is too harsh and disproportionate. The workman has prayed that the order of dismissal may be set-a-side and management of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited may directed to reinstate Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi with further direction to pay all his Back Wages & other legal dues with other incidental benefits.
3. The Agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has denied the allegation of workman in his written statement. The Agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has alleged in his written statement that the ex-General Mazdoor was absent from his duty without any prior permission or authorized leave since 24.06.1988 for about 2 (Two) years. The concerned workman was chargesheeted for his act of misconduct as per the provisions of standing order. The concerned workman failed to submit any reply to the Chargesheet. The management decided to hold a domestic enquiry by appointing an independent Enquiry Officer to enquire into the said charges. Notice of enquiry was duly sent to the concerned workman. Although the concerned workman sought adjournment for the postponement of the date of enquiry, ultimately he did not attend the said enquiry. Due to non participation in the enquiry by the concerned workman the enquiry was held ex-party by the Enquiry Officer. In enquiry proceeding charge against the workman was established and proved. Punishing authority after a careful consideration of Chargesheet, Enquiry Proceeding, and Enquiry Report and other connected papers awarded the order of dismissal of the concerned workman form service. Punishment of dismissal from service is quite proportionate and in accordance with the gravity of misconduct. The ex-workman never reported before the management during his period of absence neither he sent any information in support of his absence. The reference may be closed as no dispute.
4. The workman has filed following documentary evidences:-
(i) Reply of Chargesheet with Medical certificate received No. 3025 dated 12.07.1988, (ii) Application dated 22.03.1991, (iii) Chargesheet Ref. No. 4357 with 2nd Notice No. 2204 dated 29.05.1991, (iv) Reply of 2nd Notice dated 19.6.1991 received no. 2094, (v) Final Notice Ref. No. 2958 dated 25.07.1991, (vi) Reply of Final Notice Received No. 2829 dated 21.08.1991, (vii) Dismissal letter Ref. No. 4329 dated 27/31.10.91, (viii) Reply with Medical Certificate received no. 4625 dated 21.11.1991.
Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi has filed affidavit in his evidence. He has been cross-examined by the learned advocate of the Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited.
5508 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]The Management of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has filed following documentary evidences:-
(i) Enquiry Proceedings, (ii) Enquiry Report, (iii) Chargesheet, (iv) Letter of the concerned workman addressed to the Agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery with copy to Enquiry Officer, (v) Notice of Enquiry.
The Management of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has not filed any affidavit in oral evidence.
5. I have heard the argument of Sri Gaya Prasad Mal, learned advocate & Sri Sushil Banerjee, organizing secretary of the union on behalf of the workman Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi and Sri P. K. Das, learned advocate on behalf of the Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited.
6. Sri Gaya Prasad Mal, learned advocate has argued on behalf of workman that the workman was absent for the period of 2 years under compelling circumstances due to his serious illness. The Enquiry Officer conducted the enquiry proceeding ex-parte in absence of concerned workman. 2nd Show Cause notice was not issued to the workman before passing the order of dismissal. Even competent authority has not passed the Dismissal Order, the Agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has passed the Dismissal Order who is not authorized to pass order for dismissal. Punishment of dismissal is too harsh. The union representative has filed written argument also.
On the other hand Sri P. K. Das, learned advocate has argued that enquiry proceeding can not be challenged at this stage because union representative has admitted on 02.11.1998 that enquiry proceeding is valid.
7. It is admitted fact that the workman Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi was a permanent employee of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. He was absent for more than 10 days. Domestic enquiry was conducted by the management against Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi for his absence. He was dismissed form service. The delinquent workman has challenged not only the punishment but also the enquiry proceeding for want of compliance of principles of natural justice. The Agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has denied the allegation of non-compliance of natural justice in enquiry proceeding and has alleged that the punishment is reasonable and proportionate to the misconduct of workman.
8. The workman has alleged in his written statement that he was absent from duty from13.7.88 to 20.11.1991 for which domestic enquiry was conducted, whereas agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has alleged in his written statement that enquiry was conducted for the absence from duty for a period of 2 years from 24.06.1988. Workman has alleged in his affidavit that he did not come to his duty form 18.04.1987 due to his illness. From perusal of Chargesheet Ref. No. SHYAM:PD: :90:4357 dated 27.10.1990, it transpires that workman has been chargesheeted for absence of 2 years, but in Chargesheet there is no mention of any date from which period of absence the workman was chargesheeted. Sri S. Mandal, management witness on contrary has stated that Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi was absented from October, 1988. Chargesheet is the foundation of enquiry proceeding. The domestic enquiry commences with the service of the Chargesheet. The delinquent workman must be informed clearly, precisely and accurately of the charges levelled against him. It is the duty of the Enquiry Officer to indicate the delinquent employee not only the precise nature of charges but also the documents, if any upon which the charges are based. This all more necessary where the charges are of general nature and relates to a period of time. The Chargesheet should specifically set out all the charges which the workman is called upon to show cause against and should also state all relevant particulars. The object of this requirement is that the delinquent workman must know what he is charged with and have the amplest opportunity to meet the charge and to defend himself by giving a proper explanation after knowing the nature of the offence with which he is charged otherwise it will amount to his being condemned unheard. If the charges are imprecise or indefinite, the person charged would not be able to understand them and defend himself effectively and resulting enquiry would not be fair. The delinquent workman Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi due to illiteracy may be incorrect regarding his period of absence. But when domestic enquiry is conducted for unauthorized absence the exact period of absence from duty for which the delinquent workman is charged with should accurately and precisely be informed. It is quite strange that in written statement of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited that the alleged unauthorized absence of delinquent workman since 24.06.1988 whereas the management witness Sri S. Mandal has sated in his evidence that the absence of Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi was from October, 1988. The Enquiry Officer in his Enquiry Report has mentioned the absence of Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi form duty since October, 1988. But this period has not mentioned in the Chargesheet. No amount of evidence can cure the defect of Chargesheet. This circumstance clearly indicates that till initiation of enquiry the Enquiry Officer was not aware about the period of absence of the concerned workman. Even the management witness did not file the copy of attendance register as provided in mines rules.
9. Hon'ble Apex Court in Brij Bihari Singh v/s Bihar State Financial Corporation, 2016 (148) FLR page 197 has held:
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5509" It is well settled that a person who is required to answer a charge imposed should know not only the accusation but also the testimony by which the accusation is supported. The delinquent must be given fair chance to hear the evidence in support of the charge and to cross-examine the Witnesses who prove the charge. The delinquent must also be given a chance to rebut the evidence led against him. A departure from this requirement violates the principles of natural justice. Furthermore,
the materials brought on record pointing out the guilt are required to be proved. If the enquiry report is based on merely ipse dixit and also conjecture the surmise cannot be sustained in law. "
10. From perusal of enquiry proceeding it transpires that date of enquiry was fixed on 25.04.1991, 19.06.1991 and 21.08.1991. The delinquent workman requested in writing for postponement of date due to his illness on ground of his illness scheduled to be held on 19.6.91 and 21.8.91. The letter of delinquent workman confirms that the notice of enquiry was duly served on him. Due to non-participation in enquiry by the delinquent workman the Enquiry Officer decided to proceed ex-parte against the workman on 21.08.1991. The Enquiry Officer recoded the statement of Sri S. Mandal, management witness on 21.08.1991. On 22.08.1991 the Enquiry Officer submitted Enquiry Report without fixing a date for defence evidence. It is settled law that if delinquent workman did not appear on the schedule date of enquiry he will lose the opportunity of cross-examination. But still he has right to adduce defence evidence. Thought the enquiry officer was right in proceeding ex-parte but he was duty bound to fix a date for defence of workman. If workman after notice of defence evidence doses not appear to adduce defence evidence then enquiry proceeding will commence further. The Enquiry Officer after only affording opportunity of defence evidence to the delinquent could submit his report.
11. From perusal of record it appears that the competent authority has not issued 2nd Show Cause notice before passing order of dismissal. In the Order of Dismissal Ref. No. SHYAM/PD/91/4329 dated 27/31.10.1991 there is no mention of 2nd Show Cause notice. In view of law propounded Hon'ble Apex Court in Union of India & Others v/s Mohd. Ramzan Khan, 1990 (61) FLR 376, 2nd Show Cause Notice to the proposed punishment before passing the order of termination is mandatory. When the rights are affected, the principle of natural justice had to be observed. A departmental enquiry, devoid of principle of natural justice can not be accepted. The misconduct of any delinquent workman has to be proved in accordance with law. The dismissal of workman by any procedure unknown to law is not only illegal and unjustified but requires correction.
12. As per Clause 28:6 of Certified Standing Order of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited the approval of competent authority (above the chargesheeting authority) specified by the managing director for this purpose from time to time shall be obtained before imposing the punishment of dismissal / discharge / removal form service of a workman. But the Order of Dismissal Ref. No. SHYAM/PD/91/4329 dated 27/31.10.1991 has been issued by Agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. As per Certified Standing Order the Managing Director is competent authority for imposing punishment of dismissal / discharge / removal form service of workman, if power has not been delegated to some other person. The Agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited is not authorized to pass dismissal order. On 05.07.2016 the argument of both sides was heard after conclusion of argument Tribunal requested to the learned counsel of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited to file copy of dismissal order passed by competent authority, if any, and fixed the date 17.8.16. On 17.08.2016 the learned counsel failed to file the dismissal order by com authority in reference to order dated 05.07.2016. Tribunal with no option left requested to the learned counsel of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited to file dismissal order by competent authority within a week and reserved the order. In spite of giving opportunity by the tribunal the learned counsel of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited did not file the copy of dismissal order passed by competent authority other than the Agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited.
13. According to Chargesheet the workman had been absent for a period of 2 years. Though it is long period for which departmental enquiry can be conducted and if guilt is proved the workman can be punished. But before punishment of dismissal which is a major punishment there should be valid impartial and bona fide enquiry. If enquiry has been conducted in biased manner in violation of principles of natural justice, the punishment on the basis of such enquiry can not be accepted. The disciplinary proceeding against the workman is quasi judicial in nature. Before imposing a punishment the disciplinary authority must apply its mind to the record of its proceeding i.e. Chargesheet, Statement of Witnesses, Enquiry Report, Enquiry Proceeding and all other connected papers. If a person is deprived of its right to livelihood it means he has been deprived from his life. Such deprivation can be effected by a valid, impartial and bona fide enquiry. Without conducting a valid and impartial domestic enquiry the punishment of dismissal is illegal. So far as admission of union advocate regarding validity of enquiry proceeding on 02.11.1998 does not make any difference. The workman / union has challenged enquiry proceeding in his written statement therefore unless his written statement is amended by union or workman and withdraws the allegation regarding invalid enquiry his admission will make no difference on merit of reference which is apparent on the record.
14. The workman has filed affidavit on 08.08.2012 in his oral evidence. As per his affidavit his age in August, 2012 was 52 years. At present his age will be approximately more than 56 years. It indicates had he not been dismissed he5510 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] would have been in service at present. The workman has not pleaded in his written statement or in his affidavit that he was not gainfully employed anywhere else during the period of dismissal. An employee or workman whose services are terminated and who is desirous of getting back wages is required to either plead or at least make a statement before the adjudicating authority that he was not gainfully employed during period of dismissal. But since the workman has not pleaded or given statement in his affidavit that he was not gainfully employed anywhere else or he was unemployed during period of dismissal, then he was not entitled to get any Back Wages from the date of dismissal i.e. 31.10.1991. It is sufficient that he is awarded 50% of Back Wages from the date of dismissal.
15. In view of whole facts and circumstances discussed above the action of management of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited in dismissing the services of Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi ex-General Mazdoor is illegal and unjustified. The dismissal order dated 31.10.1991 of Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi from service is hereby set-a- side. The agent of Shyamsundarpur Colliery of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited is directed to reinstate Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi in service. It is further directed that Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi will be entitled to get 50% Back Wages from the date of dismissal i.e. 31.10.1991 with all consequential benefits. Sri Subrata Kumar Nandi will be imposed punishment of stoppage of 4 annual increments without cumulative effect.
ORDER

SCHEDULE
"Whether the action of the management of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. ECL in dismissing Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar from service w.e.f. 08.11.2004 is legal and justified? If not, to what relief is the workman entitled?"
1. Having received the Order No. L-22012/244/2006–IR(CM-II) dated 28.12.2006 of the above said reference from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, a reference case No. 02 of 2007 was registered on 16.01.2007. Accordingly an order to that effect was passed to issue notices through the registered post to the parties concerned, directing them to appear in the court, on the date fixed and to file their written statements along with the relevant documents and a list of witnesses in support of their claims. In pursuance of the said order notices by the registered post were sent to the parties concerned. Both the parties appeared in the Tribunal, through their representative.
2. The deceased workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar has alleged in his written statement that he was in employment of the company as BM/HA at J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. The workman was absent from duty from 29.01.2003 due to his sickness which was beyond his control. He was chargesheeted vide Chargesheet No. ECL/JKR/CS/Pt-XII/2014 dated 14/15.11.2003. When he reported for duty he was not allowed, rather workman was informed that he was dismissed from service of the company. The workman has alleged that neither he received Chargesheet nor Enquiry Report. Workman was thrown, without giving him any opportunity to defend himself. The enquiry was held ex-parte. Principle of Natural Justice was denied to the workman. Workman was not served with 2nd Show Cause Notice before awarding him punishment of dismissal. The Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited dismissed the workman form the service of the company w.e.f. 08.11.2004 vide his Order No. ECL/JKR/CS/Pt. XIV/912 dated 08.11.2004. The dismissal of workman is illegal and unjustified. The workman is out of job since then and his whole family is on the verge of starvation. The workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar has prayed that award may be passed to reinstate the workman in service with full back wages from the date of dismissal and all the consequential benefits.
The concerned workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar expired on 04.05.2014 during pendency of the reference. His only legal heir his wife Smt. Champa Debi Rajwar has been substituted on 09.09.2015.
3. The Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has denied the allegation of the workman in his written statement. He has alleged that the workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar remained absent from duty form 29.01.2003 onwards without any prior intimation or sanctioned leave which is a gross misconduct on his part. Therefore delinquent workman was chargesheeted vide Chargesheet No. ECL/JKR/CS/Pt.XII/2014 dated 14/15.11.2003 as per section 26:29 of the Certified Standing Order of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited for unauthorized absent for duty without leave or permission. The chargesheeted workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar received the Chargesheet. He submitted reply alleging inter alia that he was unable to attend his duty due to sickness from 28.01.2003, but he failed to submit proof of such alleged illness or to give any cogent explanation as to why no prior intimation of such alleged illness was served to the management. The explanation of workman being unsatisfactory an independent Enquiry Officer was appointed for holding the domestic enquiry. Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar was issued successive notice of the enquiry proceeding scheduled to be held 10.03.2004, 30.03.2004, 05.05.2004 & 26.07.2004. But workman did not appear or participate in the enquiry proceeding on any of the date fixed for the enquiry. Ultimately enquiry was held ex-parte on 26.07.2004. The Enquiry Officer submitted Enquiry Report after conclusion of enquiry. The competent authority after careful consideration of the Enquiry Report and enquiry proceeding and other relevant papers was satisfied that the charges against workman was proved, passed the order of dismissal of the workman form the service. Before passing dismissal order management forwarded the copy of Enquiry Report and Show Cause notice at his home address. The said notice was also published in widely circulated newspaper of the locality "Jatiya Patrika" on 20.09.2004 directing Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar to show cause within 15 days of such application why proposed punishment should not be imposed. But despite the same Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar failed to submit any reply against Show Cause notice therefore the competent authority dismissed Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar from service vide Order No. ECL/JKR/CS/Pt. XIV/912 dated 05/08.11.2004. The demand for reinstatement of Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar is unjustified, illegal and mala fide. The management denied that the whole family of Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar is on the verge of starvation. Management denied that Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar was undergoing treatment or the same was within the knowledge of the management. Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar never sent any proof of the alleged illness. Punishment is not in any way disproportionate to the gravity of misconduct the union is not entitled to any relief5512 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] 4. The workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar has filed affidavit before his death in his oral evince. He has been cross- examined by the learned advocate of the J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited.
The workman has not filed any documentary evidence.
The Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has filed affidavit of Sri Arup Kumar Dutta as oral evidence he has been cross-examined.
The Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has field following documentary evidence :-
(i) Office copy of Chargesheet dated 14/15.11.2003 issued to Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar, (ii) Original reply of Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar dated 31.12.2003 in response to the Show Cause notice, (iii) Office copy of the Order dated 23/27.01.2004 appointing the Enquiry Officer, (iv) Office copies of notices hearing dated 25/27.02.2004, 15.03.2004, 20/21.04.2004 & 10/13.07.2004 by the Enquiry Officer, (v) Office copy of the enquiry proceedings held on 10.03.2004, (vi) Office copy of the enquiry proceedings held on 26.07.2004, (vii) Office copy of 2nd Show Cause notice dated 01.09.2004, (viii) "Jatiyo Patrika" dated 20.09.2004, (ix) Office copy of letter dated 28/29.10.2004 from P.M. of J. K. Ropeways to Agent of J. K. Ropeways approving punishment of dismissal, (x) Office copy of letter of dismissal dated 05/08.11.2004, (xi) 5 (Five) 'returned' Envelopes addressed to Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar.
5. Sri Indrajit Mukherjee, learned advocate who was conducting the case on behalf of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited did not appear. Tribunal sent notice twice, but even after service of notice to J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited none appeared on behalf of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. I have heard the argument of Sri G. P. Mal, learned advocate on behalf of Smt. Champa Debi Rajwar widow of deceased Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar.
6. Sri G. P. Mal, learned advocate has argued that the deceased workman was absent form duty for only 9 months due to his sickness. For absence of mere 9 months due to sickness, punishment of dismissal is too harsh and unjustified. He also argued that domestic enquiry against the workman is biased vitiated and unfair. There is no compliance of natural justice.
7. It is not disputed that the workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar was absent from duty. As per allegation of workman he was sick. After domestic enquiry concerned workman was dismissed form service. The workman was substituted by his wife. He has alleged that enquiry was biased, opportunity of cross-examination has not been provided to him. But this fact has been denied by the Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited in his written statement.
8. Chargesheet has been issued to the workman on 14/15.11.2003 and his explanation has been called for. In reply to the Chargesheet Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar informed the Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited on 31.12.2003 that he is sick since 28.01.2003 and he is under treatment of doctor. He is unable to join the duty. Being unsatisfied by explanation of the workman the Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited appointed Sri Swapan Chatterjee as Enquiry Officer and Sri A. K. Dutta as management representative vide order Ref. No. ECL/JKR/CS/Pt. XII/ 2406 dated 23/27.01.2003. From perusal of Chargesheet, it is evident that the Enquiry Officer has not mentioned the list of document and list of management witness on which the Enquiry Officer intended to rely. Form record it is apparent that workman has not been furnished the copy of documents and list of witnesses intended to be relied by management. It is well settled that if a person is required to answer a charge, he should know not only the accusation but also the testimony by which the accusation is supported.
9. Form perusal of record, it transpires that the notices of the enquiry proceeding scheduled to be held on 10.03.2004, 30.03.2004, 05.05.2004 & 26.07.2004 were issued to workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar. Copy of notices and postal receipt are on record. But deceased workman, Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar did not appear in the enquiry proceeding on the aforesaid dates. The Enquiry Officer proceeded ex-parte on 26.07.2004 against delinquent workman. The evidence of management representative Sri A. K. Dutta was recorded on 26.07.2004. The Enquiry Officer sent the ex-parte Enquiry Report on the same very date i.e. 26.07.2004 without fixing the date for defence evidence of delinquent workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar. If concerned workman does not appear and participate in the enquiry after service of notice, the Enquiry Officer may proceed ex-parte against the workman. The delinquent Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar will lose the opportunity of cross-examination. But still he has right to lead defence evidence. Proceeding ex- parte does not mean that the opportunity of the defence evidence will be denied. The Enquiry Officer though even if the enquiry is ex-parte, must have fixed a date for defence evidence after conclusion of examination of management witness. If on next date of service of notice the delinquent workman does not appear then only the enquiry can proceed further and Enquiry Report or ex-parte Enquiry Report can be sent to the competent authority for further order. But without affording opportunity of defence evidence to concerned workman the departmental enquiry can not be concluded. When a departmental enquiry conducted against a government servant it can not be treated as a casual exercise. The Enquiry Officer has to be wholly un-biased the rules of natural justice is required to be observed to[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5513 ensure that the government servant is treated fairly in proceedings which may culminate in imposition of punishment including dismissal from service. Apart from above by virtue of article 311(2) of the constitution of India the departmental enquiry had to be conducted in accordance with the rules of natural justice.
10. Hon'ble Supreme Court in State of U. P. & another v/s C. S. Sharma, AIR 1968 SC 158 has held that:
"Omission to give opportunity to an employee to produce his evidence and lead evidence in his defence vitiates
the proceedings. It was further held that a dismissal order has serious consequence and should be passed only
after complying with the rules of natural justice."
11. Hon'ble Apex Court in A. K. Kraipak & Ors. v/s Union of India & Ors 1967 (15)FLR 299 has held that:
" Quasi judicial enquires must be held in good faith and without bias and must not be arbitrary or unreasonable.
Hon'ble Court further held that : If the purpose of the rules of natural justice is to prevent miscarriage of justice
one fails to see why those rules should be made inapplicable to administrative inquiries. Often times it is not easy
to draw the line that demarcates administrative inquiries from quasi-judicial inquiries. Inquiries which were
considered administrative at one time are now being considered as quasi-judicial in character. Arriving at a just
decision is the aim of both quasi-judicial inquiries as well as administrative inquiries. An unjust decision in an
administrative enquiry may have more far reaching effect than a decision in a quasi-judicial enquiry."
12. Right to livelihood is an important right. Deprivation of right to livelihood would not only denude the life of its effective content but would make life impossible to live. Such important right can only be deprived by any procedure established by law. Right to livelihood is regarded as a part of the right to life. That which alone makes it possible to live, must be deemed to be an integral component of the right to life. If a person is deprived of his right to livelihood it means he has been deprived from his life. Such deprivation can be effected by a valid and impartial and bona fide enquiry. Without conducting a valid and impartial domestic enquiry the punishment of dismissal is illegal. The workman was absent from duty form 29.01.2003. Chargesheet was issued on 15.11.2003. Therefore till issuance of Chargesheet he was absent for 9 months 17 days. For mere absence form duty less then 10 months, the punishment of dismissal with out holding proper domestic enquiry is harsh and disproportionate which must be rectified. The workman has stated in Para-10 of his written statement that he is out of job since then and his whole family is at the stage of starvation. In Para-6 of his affidavit he has stated that he belongs to Schedule Cast community and sitting without any job from the date of his dismissal. The Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has denied the fact of starvation of concerned workman's family in Para-10 of his written statement and Para-9 of his affidavit. But Agent of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has no where sated in his written statement or in his affidavit that Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar was gainfully employed anywhere else during the period of dismissal.
13. Hon'ble Apex Court in Deepali Gundu Surwase v/s Kranti Junior Adhyapak Mahavidyalaya (D.Ed.) and others 2013 LAB. I.C. 4249 has held that;
"Ordinarily, an employee or workman whose services are terminated and who is desirous of getting back wages is
required to either plead or at least make a statement before the adjudicating authority or the Court of first instance that
he / she was not gainfully employed or was employed on lesser wages. If the employer wants to avoid payment of full
back wages, then it has to plead and also lead cogent evidence to prove that the employee / workman was gainfully
employed and was getting wages equal to the wages he / she was drawing prior to the termination of service. This is so
because it is settled law that the burden of proof of the existence of a particular fact lies on the person who makes a
positive averment about its existence. It is always easier to prove a positive fact than to prove a negative fact.
Therefore, once the employee shows that he was not employed, the onus lies on the employer to specifically plead and
prove that the employee was gainfully employed and was getting the same or substantially similar emoluments"
14. In view of law laid down by the Hon'ble Apex Court, Smt. Champa Debi Rajwar the widow of deceased workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar is entitled for full back wages form the date of dismissal i.e. 08.11.2004 till the death of Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar i.e. 04.05.2014. It is settled law that if dismissal of workman is set-a-side the workman will be reinstated with continuity of service with all service benefits e.g. Promotions, Increments and Fixation of Seniority etc.
15. In view of above discussion the action of management of J. K. Ropeways of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited in dismissing the deceased Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar from service w.e.f 08.11.2004 is illegal and unjustified. The order of dismissal of deceased workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar is hereby set-a-side. Since Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar expired during pendency of reference. Therefore reinstatement can not be given effect to. But her substituted widow Smt. Champa Debi Rajwar will be entitled to get full Back Wages of the deceased workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar form the date of dismissal i.e. 08.11.2004 till his death i.e. 04.05.2014 with all other consequential benefits. The workman Sri Shiv Charan Rajwar will be imposed punishment of stoppage of 2 (Two) increments without cumulative effect.

1. Having received the Order No. L-22012/248/2005–IR(CM-II) dated 02.08.2006 of the above said reference from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, a reference case No. 42 of 2006 was registered on 14.08.2006.

The workman was not allowed to defend himself during enquiry proceeding. Enquiry Officer conducted the enquiry ignoring the principles of natural justice. The dismissal of Sri Dilip Rai for alleged unauthorized absence of 1 (One) Month and 20 (Twenty) Days is illegal and unjustified. The workman is out of job since then. His whole family is at the stage of starvation. Workman has prayed that the Tribunal may direct the management of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s.

Management after perusing the proceeding as well as the report and considering all the past records a request letter under reference BA/PD/DIS/679 dated 05.03.1999 was sent to Sri Dilip Rai for his explanation but Mr. Rai remained silent, therefore order of dismissal was passed. The union raised the dispute by letter dated 26.01.2005 after an un-explained delay of about 6 (Six) years after dismissal. There is no allegation of workman that from period of absence till period of agitation workman did not earn his livelihood therefore he is not entitled to a little bit of wages.

The management of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has filed affidavit in oral evidence.
5. I have heard the argument of Sri S. K. Pandey, learned union representative on behalf of Sri Dilip Rai, delinquent workman and Sri P. K. Goswami, learned advocate on behalf of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 55176. Sri S. K. Pandey, learned union representative has argued that due to death of his father the workman Sri Dilip Rai was absent for 1 (One) month and 20 (Twenty) days under compelling circumstances. Enquiry was conducted ex- parte behind his back without service of Notice of Enquiry to him. Even in enquiry proceeding his guilt was not proved. Enquiry was invalid and illegal. He is sitting idle from the date of dismissal. He is without job and his whole family is at the stage of starvation.
On the other hand P. K. Goswami, learned advocate has argued that Sri Dilip Rai is a habitual absentee. He has been previously punished for his unauthorized absence. Though management took lenient view in hope that delinquent workman will amend his conduct. Union has raised the dispute after 6 (Six) years, therefore for this period he is not entitled for back wages.
Sri S. K. Pandey in reply argued that after passing of dismissal order union raised the reconciliation proceeding before Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), after failure of reconciliation proceeding he raised the dispute there is not delay in part of workman or union / workman.
Sri P. K. Goswami has relied on J. Chelameswar & Abhay Manohar Sapre, JJ. Prem Nath Bali v/s Registrar,
High Court of Delhi, 2016 (1) CHN (SC) 187.
7. It is admitted fact that Sri Dilip Rai, ex-workman was in employment of the company as Under Ground Trammer at Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited . It is also admitted that he was absent from duty from11.09.1998 till 31.10.1998. He had been dismissed after domestic enquiry. The workman has challenged the domestic enquiry on ground of illegal, partial and non compliance of natural justice which has been denied by the Agent of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited
8. The unauthorized absence is one of the misconduct mentioned in the certified standing order. If any workman while in service, without permission or sanction leave, absent himself from duty for more than 10 days, he is liable for misconduct for which he can be punished after domestic enquiry. Since the workman has challenged the very basis of enquiry proceeding being devoid of compliance of natural justice therefore validity of enquiry proceeding requires to be looked into.
9. From perusal of the Chargesheet it is apparent that there is no recital in the Chargesheet about any witness proposed to be examined by the Enquiry Officer. Even there is no description of any document proposed to be relied by the Enquiry Officer.
Hon'ble apex court in Pawan Kumar Agarwala v/s General Manager – II and Appointing Authority, State Bank
of India and Others, 2016 (148) FLR 865 has held that :
"If copies of documents and list of witnesses was not furnished to the workman during enquiry, the enquiry was
vitiated on account of non-compliance of statutory rules and violation of principle of natural justice."
The domestic enquiry commences with the issuance of Chargesheet. The very purpose of Chargesheet is to acquaint the delinquent workman for which he is charged with. The evidence, documentary as well as oral must be referred on which Presenting Officer / Enquiry Officer relies. This information must be conveyed to the delinquent workman at the time of issuance of Chargesheet so that the delinquent workman may effectively meet the charges labeled against him during enquiry proceeding. If the delinquent workman wishes to examine any document, he must be afforded opportunity by the Enquiry Officer to peruse those documents before submitting his explanation. This is all more necessary that the delinquent has been supplied with or has been informed about the proposed documentary evidence likely to be relied. The Enquiry Officer may consider the explanation of delinquent during the enquiry proceeding. If this formality has not been fulfilled the delinquent workman will be prejudiced and consequently the enquiry proceeding will be vitiated. It will amount to his being condemned unheard. If workman has been previously punished for any misconduct and the Presenting Officer intends to rely on his previous punishment or misconduct then it must specifically be mentioned in the Chargesheet so that the delinquent workman may have opportunity to explain his previous misconduct or punishment. But if particulars of previous misconduct or punishment and copies of those misconduct or punishment has not been supplied to the delinquent at the time of issuance of Chargesheet then the Presenting Officer or Enquiry Officer can not rely on his previous punishment or previous misconduct during the enquiry proceeding. If the workman has not been afforded opportunity at the time of issuing Chargesheet to reply on his pervious punishment or misconduct then the enquiry proceeding is not been in confirmity with the rules of natural justice. From perusal of enquiry proceeding it is apparent that his previous conviction has been referred by management witnesses Sri M. Hussain and Sri R. A. Pandit. The Enquiry Officer has relied on his previous absence in his Enquiry Report but this fact has not been mentioned in the Chargesheet BK/PD/15(10)/295 dated 31.10.1998.
10. The copy of notices sent to Sri Dilip Rai dated 17.11.98 and 25.12.98 has been filed on the record of reference. The postal receipt has not been filed by the Agent on the record. The Enquiry Officer has not given finding regarding service of notice. The Enquiry Officer before proceeding further ought to have recorded his finding, whether notice5518 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] sent to the delinquent was served on the delinquent and on which date. The Enquiry Officer after recording his finding, that after service of Notice of Enquiry delinquent did not appear in the enquiry proceeding could proceed ex-parte against the workman but without ensuring the service of Notice of Enquiry to the delinquent the enquiry could not proceed ex-parte. Even if for the sake of imagination if I presume that the Enquiry Notice was served on the delinquent and he avoided to appear in the enquiry proceeding then in that case the Enquiry Officer could proceed ex-parte Enquiry against delinquent but he must have afforded opportunity to the delinquent workman to adduce his evidence. If the delinquent workman does not appear after service of notice then he will loose the benefit of cross-examination but he still he has right to lead defence evidence. After conclusion of management evidence the date for defence evidence must necessarily ought to have been fixed before submitting enquiry report. Even in ex-parte enquiry the workman can not be denied to lead his defence evidence. Denial of opportunity of defence evidence is denial of principles of natural justice.
Hon'ble Apex Court in State of U. P. v/s Saroj Kumar Sinha, 2010 (124) FLR 857 has held that if workman after service of notice does not appear in the enquiry proceeding, he will lose the benefit of cross-examination but still he has right to lead his defence evidence. The Hon'ble Apex Court has held that, by the virtue of Article 311(2) of Constitution of India, the departmental enquiry has to be conducted in accordance with the principles of natural justice."
11. So far as previous absence or previous punishment is concerned the management witnesses Sri M. Hussain, Dealing Clerk, and Sri R. A. Pandit, Leave Clerk has not filed copy of Attendance Register or Leave Register. There is no documentary evidence on this point.
12. Hon'ble Supreme Court in State Govt. Houseless Harijan Employees' Association v/s State of Karnataka and others, (2001) 1 SCC 610 has held that :
"Without affording opportunity of being heard, no order adverse to a person can be passed. Principles of natural
justice requires that before taking action against the citizen he must have a right to be heard."
13. By introduction of section 11(A) to the industrial Dispute Act, The Industrial Tribunals are vested with the power to decide the justification of the decision of the employers. Thus, when it is found that the domestic enquiry is not held properly, it will stand vitiated and the Industrial Tribunal would set-a-side the order of punishment by giving appropriate relief including that of lesser punishment or even no punishment resulting in reinstatement of the concerned workman. For disciplinary action, a domestic enquiry occupies an important position under labour law. Thus, the enquiries are required to be held with utmost regard to the Principle of Natural Justice. Without conducting a valid and impartial domestic enquiry the punishment of dismissal is illegal. The domestic enquiry has been conducted in utter violation of principles of natural justice and on the basis of such enquiry the dismissal of workman for unauthorized absence for mere absence of 1 (One) month and 20 (Twenty) days is too harsh, disproportionate, and shocking to the unproved guilty of the workman. It ought to be set-a-side.
The learned advocate of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has relied on J. Chelameswar & Abhay Manohar Sapre, JJ. Prem Nath Bali v/s Registrar, High Court of Delhi, 2016 (1) CHN (SC) 187. In this case the Hon'ble Apex Court has held :
"It is a settled principle of law that once the charges levelled against the delinquent employee are proved then it
is for the appointing authority to decide as to what punishment should be imposed on the delinquent employee as
per the rules."
14. I am in respectful agreement with the view propounded by the Hon'ble Apex Court. But the facts of this present reference are quite different. The enquiry proceeding in this present reference is vitiated and conducted in utter violation of principle of natural justice, without affording opportunity to lead defence evidence to the delinquent workman. Even charged framed against the workman is quite defective which is very basis of domestic enquiry.
15. The workman has alleged in Para- 7 of his written statement that he is out of job since then and his whole family is at the verge of starvation. In his affidavit filed in oral evidence he has alleged in Para- 12 that he is jobless since the above time and it becomes very difficult for him to earn bread for his family. He is physically fit and he intends to join Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited to earn bread for family members. The delinquent workman Sri Dilip Rai has been cross-examined at length by the learned advocate of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited, but his evidence in cross-examination is un-shattered. Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has not denied this allegation in his written statement. Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has not alleged in his written statement that the delinquent workman was employed during the period of dismissal. If the delinquent workman has pleaded in his written statement that he was not gainfully employed anywhere else during period of dismissal and if employer intends to avoid the payment of full back wages then not only the employer has to plead but also to lead cogent evidence to prove that the delinquent workman was gainfully employed anywhere else. Onus to prove that workman was gainfully[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5519 employed, is on the shoulder of employer, which has not been discharged. The workman is as alleged in his affidavit that he belongs to Schedule Cast Community and his pecuniary condition is miserable.
16. As per service excerpts filed on record it is clear that workman was a permanent employee at Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. His date of birth is 16.09.1961. His date of appointment is 27.05.1988. Before dismissal he has served Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited for so many years. At this stage there is no possibility of getting alternate job anywhere. He had been unemployed during period of dismissal.
17. So far as delay is concerned the Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited is responsible for delaying the disposal of reference. The reference is of the year 2006. After the service of notice the tribunal fixed numerous dates for filing written statement by management of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. Even Tribunal fixed 14.5.2015 as last chance for filing written statement by Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited, but Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited did not care to file written statement till 14.5.2015. The tribunal with no option left passed the order to proceed ex-parte against Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited on 14.5.2015 and fixed for ex-parte evidence. Then after several months on 07.10.2015 Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited filed written statement, on application of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited the tribunal set-a-side the ex-parte order dated 14.05.2015. Employer can not blame workman for their own fault nor workman can be allowed to suffer without his fault.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court in Deepali Gundu Surwase v/s Kranti Junior Adhyapak Mahavidyalaya (D.Ed.) and others 2013 LAB. I.C. 4249 has held that :
"Cases in which the tribunal finds that the employer has acted in gross violation of the statutory provision or the
principal of natural justice or is guilty of victimizing the employee or workman, then the concerned Court or
Tribunal will be fully justified in directing payment of full back wages. The courts must keep in view that in cases
of wrongful / illegal termination of service the wrongdoer is the employer and the sufferer is the employee /
workman and there is no justification to give premium to the employer of his wrongdoings by relieving him of the
burden to pay to the employee / workman his dues in the form of full back wages."
18. It is settled law that consequential benefits does not mean only back wages, consequential benefits includes apart from back wages other service benefits such as promotion, fixation of seniority, increment, and grant of other financial benefits admissible to the post, had be been in service.
19. In view of above discussion the action of management of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited in dismissing Sri Dilip Rai, Under Ground Trammer, U. M. No. 673353 w.e.f. 29.03.1999 is illegal and unjustified. The Dismissal Order of Sri Dilip Rai dated 29.03.1999 is hereby set-a-side. The management of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited is directed to reinstate Sri Dilip Rai with full back wages, from the date of dismissal i.e. 29.03.1999 till his reinstatement. It is further directed that Sri Dilip Rai will be entitled to get all consequential service benefits e.g. promotion, fixation of seniority, increments, etc. from date of dismissal onward. Sri Dilip Rai imposed a punishment of stoppage of two increments without cumulative effect.
ORDER
Let an "Award" be and the same is passed as per above discussion. Send the copies of the order to the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for information and needful. The reference is accordingly disposed of.

"Whether the action of the management of Madhusudanpur Colliery of M/s. ECL in not providing employment to the Sh. Raja Ram Gope dependent of Sh. Haricharan Gope, Ex-Electrical Supervisor is justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled?"
Having received the Order No. L-22012/80/98 IR(CM-II) dated 22/01/1999 of the above said reference from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, a reference case No. 12 of 1999 was registered on 02/02/1999 and accordingly an order to that effect was passed to issue notices through the registered post to the parties concerned directing them to appear in the court on the date fixed and to file their written statements along with the relevant documents and a list of witnesses in support of their claims.

"Whether the demand of the Rashtriya Colliery Mazdoor Mazdoor Congress from the Management of Bhuli Town Administration of M/s BCCL for giving promotion to Sri Subhash Kumar from the post of Cinema Operator to the post of Sr. Cinema Operator in Technical and Supervisory Grade "A" w.e.f. 12.09.2001 is justified? If so, to what relief is the workman concerned entitled?"
Neither any appearance from the Union / workman nor did produce workman for evidence that has been hanging in balance over past several years .The case as fixed over evidence of the workman has been crawling till date with no further headway in sight. Though three formal notices dtt. 4.4.08, 12.05.2005, 12.07.2005 were also sent to the address of the Union /Petitioner at the address referred in the Order of Reference itself but all fell flat. However the Case was came up before the Lok Adalat but expunged and put for regular hearings through adjudication. The case deals with not providing promotion to the workman by the Management .The Ld. Advocate for the Management Mr.U.N. Lal is present on date even almost all the times.
It transpires from the fact after going through the record there seems to be no urgency on the part of the Petitioner /Union to complete the stage of workman's evidence to proceed further as proceedings stalled for want of the non- production of workman even after taking more than ten adjournments. More so, workman is reported to have already lost the interest to get it to finality through adjudication simultaneously, the Tribunal upholds the view rolling down the case for onwards will be termed sheer wastage of time .For the end of the justice and in the natural interest, the case needs to wrap up keeping in view of unwillingness on the part of the Union/petitioner. Under such circumstances the case is closed; and accordingly an order of 'No Dispute Award' is passed.

The Government of India, Ministry of Labour, in exercise of the powers conferred on them under Sec.10(1)(d) of the I. D. Act, 1947 has referred the following dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication vide their Order No. L- 20012/246/2004-IR (C-I) dt. 31.03.05.
SCHEDULE
"Whether the demand of the Janta Mazdoor Sangh from the Management of BCCL, P.B. Area for appointing Sri Shushil Kr.Sinha as General Mazdoor Cat.-I from the date of his initial appointment as Trainee is justified? If so, to what relief is the concerned workman entitled?"
The workman/petitioner is reported to be not present on date against which the OP/Management side Mr. D.K.Verma,, Ld. Advocate appeared not for this time but earlier also .Though the Notices dtt. 11.12.14, 13.05.2005, 12.07.2005 were mailed at the workman's address mentioned in the Order of Reference itself but it went into vain. The status of the case still stands stagnating over evidence of the workman .On this count no further move advanced despite providing ample opportunity to the workman /Petitioner.
By going through the record and materials on records, it has been transparent that the petitioner/workman miserably failed to make appearance whatsoever presuming the issue either to have been settled or sorted out of the Court. Workman's successive failure in appearance for a long spell of time speaks much of the disinterestedness and utter reluctance on his part. Based on the facts, the Tribunal holds opinion that it could not be mute spectator on the line and in the interest of natural justice as well. As of now, the case appears to have lost the merits itself. Further dragging it will be proved improper and sheer wastage of time and energy of the Tribunal. As such the case is closed due to reluctance of the workman concerned and passed an Order of 'No Dispute Award'.

On receipt of the Order No. L-20012/33/2012-IR (CM-I) dt. 22.10.2012 of the above mentioned reference from the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, the Reference Case No. 84 of 2012 was registered on 12.11.2012 and accordingly an order to that effect was passed to issue notices through the Registered Posts to the parties concerned, directing them to appear in the Court on the date fixed, and to file their written statements along with the relevant documents. In pursuance of the said order, notices by the Registered Posts were sent to the parties concerned.
Both the parties made their appearances and filed their pleadings and photocopies of their documents. The Union and the O.P./Management through their own Ld. Counsels appeared respectively, and contested the case.
2. The case of the workwoman Smt. Aghni Kamin, the Ex-Binder as represented in her claim statement is that her date of her birth (herein after referred to as DOB) is 06.10.1952 and the same was recorded in her Service Record /Register under the signature of the Authority concerned on 17.07.1986,after her appointment as Piece Rated worker on 18.05.1973.Form PS3 (particulars of family) issued on 27.05.1998 also bears her same aforesaid DOB just the Declaration submitted in respect as the CMPF carries her Date of birth as -6.10.1952.In view of her aforesaid Date of birth, she was scheduled to retire on 31.10. 2012. She was issued neither any notice nor any intimation of any change challenging her Date of birth, but the Manager P(NEE), M/s. Central Coalfields Limited, Darbhanga House, Ramchi, as[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5533 per the retirement notice dt. 29.12.2010/04.01.2012 intimated the workwoman of her retirement as on 30.06.2011 considering her DOB as 04.06.1951.
In result, the industrial dispute raised by the lady petitioner in the conciliation proceeding before the Conciliation Officer about determinatation of her date of birth based on wrong presumption, but on its failure, resulted in the reference for an adjudication. In the face of her Date of birth as 06.10.19452 all along record in each and every document of her service records, the management had arbitrarily and illegally fixed the date of her retirement as 30.11.2011 which amounted to her premature retirement, so the workwoman is entitled to all the consequential benefits with her continuance in service till 31.10.2012,thus the petitioner urged for an adjudication in her favour.
3. The workwoman in her rejoinder has specifically denied all the allegations of the O.P./Management as imaginary, entirely misconceived, misleading, and incorrect, further stating that the story of her alleged age assessment is unreliable even as ex-parte and manufactured.
4. Whereas challenging the maintainability of the instant reference in law or facts, the Contra pleaded case of the OP./Management is that workwoman Smt. Aghni Kamin D/o Sri Chamaro Oraon,and w/o Shri Satish Toppa, bearing her CMPF A/c No. R/53-3604,was an employee of the Central Coalfields Ltd, Darbhanga House, Ranchi, designated as Binder, She was working in the CCL Press at its H.Qr. till her date of retirement on 30.06.2011.She was initially appointed as a Piece Rated worker in Sarubera Colliery on 18.05.1973.Her date of birth was not recorded in the Service Sheet; therefore she was referred to the Age Assessment Committee for determination of her age according to the Implementation Instruction No.76. She appeared before the aforesaid committee, and her date of birth was determined as 4.6.1951 in the year 1986 as per the provisions of the I.I.No.76. She had also put her thumb impression on the Age Assessment Committee Report duly witnessed by two employees of the CCL as a token of acceptance of her date of birth as determined by the said committee. Accordingly, her same date of birth was recorded in her service sheet under her thumb impression duly witnessed by two employees. As the date of her retirement was due on 30.06.2011, the Management issued her the notice dt.4.1.2011 bearing her retirement date as 30.06.2011.The workwoman had not raised any objection after the receipt of the aforesaid notice. But at the fag end of her services, she submitted a representation on 18, .05.2011, representing that her date of birth ought to be corrected as 6.10.1952.She has not submitted any documentary evidence in support of her claim. Further alleged by the O.P./Management is that after her retirement, she filed an application for payment of her gratuity, and accordingly gratuity was paid to her. She never challenged the Age Assessment Committee Report in any form till her retirement.
5. The O.P./Management in its simultaneous rejoinder has specifically denies the allegations of the workwoman as incorrect, further alleging that as the workwoman being illiterate had not any documentary proof in support of her claimed age, on her reference to the Area Age Assessment Committee, her age was determined as 35 years as on 04.06.1986, and accordingly her date of birth fell as on 04.06.1951. She had never raised any dispute about her date of birth at the time of filing the Service Excerpt. Hence, the action of the Management in superannuating the workwoman w.e.f. 30.06.2011 is alleged to be justified, as she may be held not entitled to any relief.
FINDINGS WITH REASONS
6. In the instant case, WWI Aghni Kamin, the workwoman and WW2 Ukan Prasad, LDC and Representative of the Mazdoor Union on behalf of the workwoman, and MWI Avinash Srivastava, the Sr. Manager (Pers). CCL, H.Qr,, Darbhanga House, Ranchi, for the O.P./Management have been examined respectively.
The argument of the workwoman as per her written argument is that her entire service Register under the signature of the Authority concerned (Ext.W.1).KUJ-13 under signature of the Sr. Manager (Per NEE),CCL, Ranchi dt.28.7.2011 (Ext.W.2), her Nomination form PS.5 duly authenticated by the Regional Commissioner, CMPF, Ranchi (Extt.W.4=4/1- (all the documents proved on formal proof waive) all along display her Date of birth as 06.10.1952 and her retirement date at 60 years was due on 06.10.1912 since the date of her appointment on 18.05.1973 initially a Binder and, thereafter working in Cat.I as Piece Rated, as she had got appointment in the year 1976. Accordingly the workwoman, her date of birth was recorded as 06.10.1952 in her all aforesaid documents, but the Management wrongly issued the Retirement Notice dt.29.12.2010/4.1.11 (Ext.W.5) and accordingly retired her prematurely from 30th June,2011 as contrasted with the due retirement on 31.10.2012. She has further submitted that it is an admitted fact of the O.P./Management that the Age Assessment Committee Report clearly proves that out of three members only two members put their signatures but it was not signed by Sr. Medical Officer in the specific column, so its authenticity is doubtful; as such her real date of birth (as noted in the Ext.W.2) stood confirmed. As such the action of the Management in terminating her service w.e.f. 30.06.2011 is illegal and unjustified; hence, she is entitled to her back wages for her due period over service from 01.07.2011 to 31.10.2012.
7. Just contrary to it, Mr D.K.Verma, Ld. Counsel for the O.P./Management has contended that the date of birth of workwoman was not recorded in her Service Record, so she was referred to the Age Assessment Committee for it which had recorded her date of birth as 04.06.1951 (Ext.M.1) which was accordingly recorded in her Service Record, as she had not produced any authentic document to prove her date of birth as 06.10.1952; and after her retirement, she5534 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] raised this Industrial Dispute which is untenable. Mr. Verma relying upon the authority: - 2006 SSC (L&S) 1445,State of Gujrat Vs. Vali Mohd.Dosa Bhai Sindhi ,in reference to Bombay Civil Services Rules 1959,R.171- Constitution of India, Arts.26 and 136, has submitted that in case of a dispute over the age for retirement/superannuation, if there is alternation or correction of date of birth entered in Service Record, request made at the verge for retirement for alternation/correction can not be entertained; rather request must be made within the period ,if any, prescribed under the rules and in absence thereof, within a reasonable period in accordance with the procedure prescribed; onus lies upon the employee concerned to make out clear case for alternation on the basis of materials of conclusive nature; Court/Tribunal must be satisfied as regards these as aspects and also that there has been real justice to the employee concerned; Court/Tribunal should be slow in granting interim relief or continuation in service unless there is a prima facie evidence of impeachable nature; Court/Tribunal should not issue any direction or make any declaration in favour of the employee merely on the basis of materials which make his case only plausible. Further it has been held by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the aforesaid cited case that the Court/Tribunal should keep in mind that alternation of a date of birth of an employee at the late stage may affect promotional prospect of those junior to him; request for a change of date of birth made by Respondent only after the order intimating the date of her retirement was received by him a few months prior to that date, held on facts, can not be accepted being in violation of specific rule applicable to such employee. According to Mr. Verma, Ld. Counsel of the OP/ Management, the Petitioner after her superannuation has got her payment of Gratuity etc, so her claim is not sustainable.
8. On meticulous study of the materials available on the case record as the nature of the case pertaining to alternation of date of birth of the workwoman petitioner, it appears the indisputable facts as under:
(i) The workwoman who appears to be though illiterate yet literate enough to sign her name only. The workwoman was initially appointed as the Piece Rated worker in Cat. I in Sarubera Colliery on 18th May, 1973, but later on she joined at H.Qr. at Darbhanga House at Ranchi in 1995 since then she had been working there .The acknowledged facts also appear to be that her date of birth 06.10.1952 as recorded in his Service Record as also in her Form B and Form –PE-3 (Particulars of family) and the CMPF Record as well (Ext.W.1,2 & 4 respectively).
(ii) According to the O.P./Management, her Service Record had not any written date of birth. But no documents produced on behalf of OP/Management as a proof of her date of birth blank. So as per the Implementation Instruction No.76 of the NCWA concerned, the O.P./Management got her age assessed as 35 years as on 04.06.1986 as per the report dt. Nil. of Members of the Age Assessment Committee (Ext.M.1= Ext.W.3).The fact is also beyond the dispute that the alleged report of the Age Assessment Committee is duly signed by two Members, namely, of Personnel Officer and Project Officer, but the column of Sr. Medical Officer, Sarubera Colliery,Kuju Area ,CCL is blank as apparent from the attested copy of the Age Assessment Report issued on 28.07.2011 by Sr. Manager (Pers./MEE) CCL,Ranchi.It is remarkable to note that the signature of the Member, Personnel Officer appears to be dated 4th June,1986 just below his signature as apparent from the aforesaid Extt.M.1 =Ext.W.3
(iii) According to her date of birth as 06.10.1952 as recorded in her Service Register as also in her CMPF, she appears to have joined the Service on18.05.1973 at her age of 20 years 7 months 12 days, and accordingly her superannuation comes factually on 30.05.2012 at her 60 (sixty) years of age. But the Retirement Notice dt.29.12.2010/4.1.11 (Ext.W.5) to the under literate lady workwoman petitioner for her alleged superannuation 30.06.2011 appears to be baseless.
(iv) The petitioner has clearly made out her solid case for her claim. Payment of her Gratuity etc on the ground of her alleged premature retirement can not bar her due claim for due wages for the relevant period of her due service. This will be real justice to the Lady petitioner as also observed as by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the aforesaid ruling, otherwise it will amount to miscarriage of natural justice to her.
In result, it is, in the terms of the reference, hereby responded and accordingly awarded as such"
(i) The action of the Management of M/s Central Coalfields Ltd., Darbhanga House, Ranchi in assessing the age of Smt.Aghni Kamin, Ex-Binder, by a Committee without Medical Officer is quite invalid and contrary to the provisions of the Implementation Instruction No.76,and
(ii) The action of the Management of M/s Central Coalfields Ltd., Darbhanga House, Ranchi in terminating the service of Smt.Aghni Kamin w.e.f. 30.06.2011 in place of her due retirement on 30.06.2012 is quite illegal and unjustified.
Therefore the workwoman petitioner is entitled to her full back wages with statutory interest for the relevant period, i.e, from 01.07.2011 to 30.06.2012 .The O.P./Management is directed to implement it within one month from the receipt of the Award following its publication by the Government of India in the Gazette of India.

2. The case is received from the Ministry of Labour on 10.07.1995. After receipt of reference, both Parties are noticed, The Sponsoring Union files their written statement on 07.08.1995. After long delay the management files their written statement-cum-rejoinder on 08.01.1997. Two witnesses each examined from both side, and document of workman side is marked as W-1 & W-2 Series and document of Management marked as M-1 to M-5 .
3. The case of the workman is that Shri Ramjee Roy and 15 others concerned workmen have been working at Dugda coal Washery in permanant nature of job continuously since long under the direct control and supervision of the management and have put in 240 days attendence in a calender year and performing permanant nature of job as electrician, plan cleaning maintenance, drain cleaning, repairing of damaged cable, rechanalising of coal and various other permanant nature of job as per direction and control of the management.
4. It is also submited that as per wage Board recommendation and NCWA the minimum starting category of workman is cat-I workman. The management have been Paying the wages in the name of so-called contractor only to comaflaging the real issue. The concerned workman have been rendering service and producing goods for the benefits of dugda coal Washery management.
5. The concerned workman represented before the management several times for their regularisation at least as cat-I Mazdoor and for payment of wages as per NCWA but of any avail. Hence Industrial dispute arose for demanding regularisation at cat-I .
6. On the other hand the case of the management is that no employer employee relationship ever existed between the management and the concerned persons. The concerned persons were never engaged by the management at any point of time , there was no record of their service and there was no record of their payment in any pay sheets of the company.
7. It is further submitted by the management out of 16 workman mentioned in the list annexed to the schedule of reference only five persons had worked as contractor worker under verious contractor in which four workman under M/S A.K.Construction only in civil construction job for few days and one is under other contractor, and rest eleven persons had never worked on any job under any contractor.
8. It is also submitted by the management that the concerned persons were never engaged as contract workers in any permanent nature of job and there engagenent were purely temporary contract workers hence they cannot demand for their regularisation under the management .
9. The Central Govt. Issued notification in 1990 prohibiting engagement of contract Labour on slurry removal and the said notification was implemented.
10. It is also submitted by the management that the sponsoring Union has prepared a list of 16 workmen demanding for their regularisation under the management with the malafide intention of inducting the job seekers into the public sector undertaking .
11. It is also submitted by the management that some of the workmen mentioned in the list had worked as contractor workers for a few days in civil work whereas most of them are strangers not having entered into Dugda Coal washery in the capacity of contract workers. As such the concerned workman have no legal right to claim employment under the management.
[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 553912. The short point to be decided in the case that the workman are to be regularised as workmen under the management. From the reference it appears that the workmen were engaged by contractor under the management and there to be regularised. But the witnesses examined by the workman says that the workman were engaged by the management officials. The withness unable to trace any document though he says that he has filed the document. But from the document it is clear that, payment were made to contractor .
13. Sri Baijnath Kewat, Local Branch Secretary of Sponsoring Union examined as WW-2 being Union secratary says that I donot remember the name of rest 12 and he has not traced document which he has filed. In cross examination he has also says that "I have not filed any document, I cannot file any other document to show that the workman were engaged by the management."
14. It is seen that no contractor examined to say that the workman were working under them. The witness examined , can name two to three workman and unable to says name others. This being the situation the Tribunal unable to give any relief to the workman.
15. Considering the facts and circumstances of this case I hold that the demand of the union for regularisation of the services of S/Shri Ramji Ray and 15 others (as per list enclosed in reference) by the principal employer viz management of Central Coal Washeries organisation/ Dugda Coal Washery of M/s. BCCL is not justified, Hence they are not entitled to get any relief.
This is my award.

Mumbai, dated 29th August, 2016
AWARD PART-II
The Government of India, Ministry of Labour& Employment by its Order No.L-31011/15/2008-IR (B-II), dated 11.02.2009 in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section 2 (A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 have referred the following industrial dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication:
"Whether the action of the management of Mumbai Port Trust by imposing the punishment of compulsory retirement of Shri Abdul R. Shaikh is justified? What relief the concerned workman is entitled to?"
2. After receipt of the reference, notices were issued to both the parties. In response to the notice the second party workman filed his Statement of Claim at Ex-6. According to him he was working with the first party since 1982 as Mazdoor and he is permanent workman. He was in need of money for some domestic work. Therefore one Shri Vilas Pawar posing himself as an agent of the Bank promised the second party that second party would be granted loan from Dena Bank. The second party relied upon him and signed the papers given by Shri Vilas Pawar. Subsequently it was revealed that Shri Vilas Pawar fabricated the documents and had taken disadvantage of ignorance and need of money of the second party. Because of fraudulent act of Shri Vilas Pawar, second party did not get any loan from the Bank. Instead of that the first party initiated disciplinary action against the second party on the basis of charge sheet dt.03/01/2003 for the alleged violation of Regulation 1976. The second party denied the charges. The first party initiated inquiry against the workman in violation of Principles of Natural Justice. The inquiry Officer did not consider the evidence of the second party and the material placed on record. The findings of the IO are perverse. The IO was bias. They ignored to consider the fact that some other workmen were also deceived by such agents and they are retained in the service. No loss has been caused to first party. The second party has become victim of anti-social[भाग II—खण्ड 3(ii)] भारत का राजपत्रा : दिसम्बर 3, 2016/अग्रहायण 12, 1938 5543 elements and deserves leniency. On the basis of perverse findings of the IO the first party imposed upon the second party the punishment of compulsory retirement w.e.f09/09/2004. The said punishment of compulsory retirement is grossly disproportionate to the gravity of the alleged misconduct. The second party has been subjected to injustice and lost his employment. Therefore he raised industrial dispute. As conciliation failed, on the report of ALC (C), Ministry of Labour & Employment has sent the reference to this Tribunal. The workman therefore prays that the inquiry be declared unfair and improper and the findings of the IO be declared perverse. He also prays that the punishment of compulsory retirement be quashed and the first party be directed to reinstate him with full back wages and consequential benefits.
3. The first party resisted the statement of claim vide its written statement at Ex-7. According to them, they have received a report from FA&CAO, Mumbai Port Trust that workman Shri Abdul Rehman Ibrahim had applied for personal loan of Rs.1,00,000/- from Dena Bank, Fort Branch by submitting false and fabricated documents. Therefore the workman was placed under suspension w.e.f. 20/08/2002 for committing misconduct and violating Regulations 3 (IA) (i) (iv) and (xiii) of the MbPT Employees (Conduct) Regulations, 1976. Thereafter he was served with charge sheet dt.03/01/2003. The workman submitted his explanation and denied the charges. Since his explanation was not satisfactory, departmental inquiry was initiated against him. Shir A. R. Rane, Retired Administrative Officer was appointed as Inquiry Officer and Shri V.V. Prabhu, Sr. Ex-Engineer was appointed as Presenting Officer. The inquiry was conducted by the IO in accordance with the Principles of Natural Justice. Fair and full opportunity was given to the workman to defend himself. An office bearer of union was his defence representative. The workman filed his reply to the charge-sheet. Copies of all the prosecution documents were given to the workman. They examined two witnesses. His defence representative cross examined them. The workman examined himself on oath. He was cross examined by the Presenting Officer. The workman had also submitted his written brief. Fair and proper opportunity was given to the workman to defend himself. After considering the documentary and oral evidence on record, the I.O. recorded his findings. They are based on oral and documentary evidence on record. The inquiry was fair and proper and findings of the I.O. are not perverse.
4. After receipt of the report of the Inquiry Officer the disciplinary authority issued show cause notice to the workman and he was given personal hearing. Thereafter the order of compulsory retirement was passed. The said action of the first party is legal and justified. The Appellate Authority and Reviewing Authority also upheld the action of the first party as legal and justified. Before imposing punishment the first party also examined past record of the workman and found that he had produced School Leaving Certificate of another person fraudulently by inserting his own name therein. He was involved in a theft case at Sewri Warehouse. He was found guilty of availing loan from several co-op credit societies without obtaining prior permission of the office. He had availed loan of Rs.50,000/- from Bombay Mercantile Bank by submitting manipulated documents and forging signatures of the MbPT Officers. In respect of the first case he was awarded penalty of dismissal. Subsequently penalty was modified by the Chairman to reduction of pay by two stages for the period of two years with prejudice. In second case major penalty of reduction of pay by three stages for a period of two years with prejudice was awarded. In case no. 3 & 4 no action was taken as disciplinary action in similar fraud case of Dena Bank was in progress. As the inquiry was fair and proper, findings of the I.O. are not perverse and looking into the previous conduct and the penalties imposed on the workman, the disciplinary authority has imposed the punishment of compulsory retirement which is proportionate to the misconduct. Therefore they pray that the reference be dismissed with cost.
5. Award part Iis passed bythis Tribunal on 5/5/2014. It is finding of fact that the inquiryis fair and proper. It is also a finding of fact the findings of the Inquiry Officer are not perverse.
6. In view of that nowfollowing are the issues for my determination. I record my findings there on for the reasons to follow:
Sr no. Issues
Findings
3. Whether the punishment of compulsory retirement imposed on the No.
workman is shockingly disproportionate to the proved misconduct?
4. What relief the workman is entitled to? As per order
5. What order?
As per order.
REASONS
Issue no 3:
7. Having, gone throughAward Part-I, it is made clear that the inquiry is fair and proper. So also it is made clear that the findings of the Inquiry officerare not perverse. So now the question for consideration is only in respect of the5544 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)] quantum of punishment imposed upon the concerned workman.It is to be seen whether punishment is disproportionate to the proved misconduct.
8. As a matter of fact, it has come on record that concerned second party workman has preferred Appeal before the appellate authority and the appellate authority has rejected his Appeal considering the aspect that this is not the first offence committed by the workman and that his pastservice record is also not satisfactory, he having been involved in many offences. It was considered that his case does not merit consideration for leniency.
9. The concernedworkman has also then filed Review petition before Reviewing Authority i.e. Chairman,Mumbai Port Trust Bombay, and his review petition also came be rejected on the ground that no new and valid submission weremade for leniency. It was consideredin review petition that in the cases of habitual misconduct such as that of concerned workman have been given similar penalty in the past and as such no cause to condone or modify penalty.
10. Ld.Counsel for the concerned workman submitted that the evidence on record does not show that the second party workman has availed of personal loan from the said bank and therefore the punishment imposed upon him is quite disproportionate to the proved misconduct. He submits that the concerned second party workman is victim of antisocial elements. He is the only earning member of the family and therefore it is necessary tomodify the quantum of punishment.
11. It may be stated that the second party workman has not adduced evidence to prove the circumstances for condoning or modifying the penalty. On the contrary it has come on record that he was involved in many other offences, so also his service record was not satisfactory. Considering these aspects both the AppellateAuthority and Review Authority has rejected prayer for modifying quantum of punishment on the ground that when misconduct is proved, similar punishment was given in other cases, in the absence of any other circumstances to modify the quantum of punishment.
12. Under these circumstances, I find that the punishment imposed upon the second partyworkman is proportionateto the proved misconduct and there is no ground to modify the same. Issue No. 3 is therefore answered accordingly.
Issues Nos. 4 & 5:
13. In view of my above findings. I find that the workman is not entitled to any relief and the Reference is liable to be rejected.
14. In the result I pass following Order:
ORDER
Reference is rejected with no order as to costs.

3. My Ld. Predecessor retired on 11/04/2015 and the Presiding Officer of CGIT-1, Mumbai was given additional charge of this Tribunal. However workman did not file his affidavit (WW-1) and finally filed it on 17/3/2016. Cross examination of WW-1 was recorded and concluded on the next date i.e. on 4/4/2016. Matter was adjourned to 22/6/2016 for filing affidavit of workman witness no.2 (WW-2). However on 22.6.2016 instead of filing affidavit of WW-2, workman filed application (Ex-38) for withdrawing the reference citing 'delay in getting justice' as one of the reasons. The Say of otherside was called for. However otherside has not filed say on Ex-38. Sum and substance of Ex-38 is that workman wants to withdraw his Reference.
4. Afterperusing the Roznama and the record, it is clear that delay caused due to lethargic attitude of workman. The matter was referred in 2005. As workman did not file his statement of claim it was disposed of in 2006 for want of prosecution. Case was restored to file in 2012 as per order dated 13.02.2012 in Misc/Appln/CGIT-2/1 of 2006. Workman ought to have filed his Statement of Claim, documents, affidavit etc. on the given date of hearing. Instead he sought adjournments on several occasions. When the matter was fixed for filing Affidavit of WW-2, workman filed application Ex-38 for withdrawing the Reference.
5. As the second party workman is not interested in pursuing this matter further, the reference deserves to be dismissed for want of prosecution. Thus I proceed to pass the following order:
ORDER
The Reference stands dismissed for want of prosecution.

Disputes Act, 1947 and to modify his termination order dated 03.06.2012 and to follow the provisions made
under the said Act is legal, just and proper? What relief the workman concerned is entitled to?"
2. After receipt of the Reference, notices were issued to both the parties. Notice sent to second party Union was returned by the Postal authorities with remarks "left address".

3. Second party workman though remained present on one or two occasions did not file his Statement of Claim. As workman did not file his Statement of Claim even after giving sufficient opportunity, I think it proper to dispose of the Reference for want of prosecution. Thus the order:
