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

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 that

5368

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.

Dictated & Corrected by me.

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 and

5372

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

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

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 is

5374

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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.

26.

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.

9.

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 be

5382

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.

19.

What are the factors to be considered in deciding whether an employee is only a workman or one working in

Managerial cadre? Both sides have relied upon judicial pronouncements in support of their contentions. As

contemplated in Section-2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, to be a workman a person must be employed in any

industry to do a manual, unskilled, skilled, technical, operational, clerical or supervisory work for hire or reward,

whether the terms of employment be express or implied. However, this definition is subject to certain exceptions

including Clause-V which states that a person employed in a supervisory capacity and draws wages exceeding Rs.

10,000/- per mensem or exercises either by the nature of the duties attached to the Office or by reason of the powers

vested in functions mainly of a managerial nature is not a workman. So if an employee is to be outside the purview of

Section-2(s) of the Act, (i) he should be one employed in a supervisory capacity (ii) must be drawing wages exceeding

Rs. 10,000/- and (iii) by nature of the duties attached to his office or because of the powers vested in him must be

functioning in managerial capacity mainly. Thus the very definition would show that it is not enough that the name of

the post carries with it a position indicating supervisory capacity or managerial cadre. On the other hand, his work

should be of such a nature that he should be working in supervisory capacity and drawing the required amount or

working in Managerial cadre, doing managerial functions.

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 Junior

5384

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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. Both

5386

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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. On

5388

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:

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 12] 1938

5389

The 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.

AWARD

The Government of India/Ministry of Labour, New Delhi by reference adjudication Order No. L-30011/41/2005-

IR(M) dated 21.02.2006 referred the dispute for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (Gujarat) in respect

of the matter specified in the Schedule:

SCHEDULE

“Whether the action of the management of IOC Ltd., Gujarat Refinery, Baroda in terminating the services of

Shri R.C. Parmar, Ex-Helper, Gr. III is legal, proper and just? If not, to what relief the concerned workman is

entitled to?”

1.

The reference dates back to 21.02.2006. The second party submitted the statement of claim Ext. 7 on 19.09.2008

and first party submitted the written statement Ext. 6 on 09.09.2008 but since then the second party has not been

leading evidence. On 20.01.2016, the second party was given last opportunity to lead evidence and the case was fixed

for 26.05.2016. On 26.05.2016, neither of the parties appeared, however as a matter of caution, one more date was

given and the case was fixed for 05.10.2016. But again today on 05.10.2016, second party is absent to lead evidence.

Thus this tribunal has no option but to dispose of the reference in the absence of the second party.

2.

In the absence of the evidence of the second party, the following finding is given: The action of the management

of IOC Ltd., Gujarat Refinery, Baroda in terminating the services of Shri R.C. Parmar, Ex-Helper, Gr. III is legal,

proper and just.

3.

The award is passed accordingly.

The Government of India/Ministry of Labour, New Delhi by reference adjudication Order No. L-30011/35/2006-

IR(M) dated 14.12.2006 referred the dispute for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (Gujarat) in respect

of the matter specified in the Schedule:

SCHEDULE

“Whether the action of the management of BPCL in terminating the services of Shri Dodiya Bhikhabhai C.

w.e.f. 01.10.2004 through its contractor is legal, proper and just? If not, to what relief the concerned workman

is entitled to?”

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.

2.

Therefore, the reference is dismissed in non-prosecution of the case by the workman/second party.

“Whether the union is justified in demanding wages equivalent to that of Heavy Vehicle Drivers working in

WSS and Transport Section to Heavy Vehicle Drivers (As per list enclosed) working in various sections of

ONGC from ONGC and Contractors (as per list attached)? If so to what relief the workmen are entitled?”

1.

The reference dates back to 06.08.1999. The second party submitted the statement of claim Ext. 9 on 13.12.1999

and the first party submitted the written statement Ext. 12 on 12.02.2001. Some of the workmen, Prajapati Prahalad K.,

Patel Mahendra J., Mahender G. Patel, L.V. Rabari, Vaghela Shankarbhai D., Chauhan Harish R. and Patel

Champakbhai B. moved applications on 30.03.2006 for withdrawal from the reference. Those withdrawal applications

were allowed by the tribunal on 22.04.2013. Since 22.04.2013, the second party has not been leading evidence. Thus it

The Government of India/Ministry of Labour, New Delhi by reference adjudication Order No. L-37011/5/99-IR(M)

dated 16.03.2000 referred the dispute for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad (Gujarat) in respect of the

matter specified in the Schedule:

SCHEDULE

“Whether the closure of Kandla Office of M/s Lee & Muirhead Ltd is justified? Whether the terminal dues

offered by M/s Lee & Muirhead Ltd ignoring the claim of union/workmen are proper and sufficient? If not,

what should be the compensation payable to the workmen?”

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. Ltd. and Kandla Port Karmachari Sangh.

2.

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

3.

The reference is disposed of as infructuous.

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

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 a

5414

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.

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 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

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.

(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.

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.

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 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 of

5422

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.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 as

5424

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.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 12] 1938

5425

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. 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)]

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.

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.

(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.

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 of

5436

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.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 12] 1938

5437

The 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 are

5438

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)

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 for

5440

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.

V/s

Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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.

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 their

5442

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

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 of

5446

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 concerned

5448

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.

5449

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

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

5450

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.

(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.

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.

V/s

Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat

2004 GLR (1) P : 729

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.

(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

5452

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.

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.

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 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 of

5456

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 partly

5458

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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.

(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.

V/s

Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat

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.

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. 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 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.

The Government of India/Ministry of Labour, New Delhi by reference adjudication Order No. L-30011/19/2000-

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

“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?”

•

The reference dates back to 17.02.2000.

Name of Workmen involved in the Reference are as under:

1. Bhavsar Dushyant J

2. Solanki Suresh G

3. Solanki Jaysukh R

4. Mishra Kanakbihari

5. Modi Bhavesh h

6. Vohora MD. Hanif F

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 12] 1938

5465

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 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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 12] 1938

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 the

5468

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.

(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.

Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat

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.

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.

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 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 the

5470

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.

AWARD

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

“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?”

•

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

6. Patibandha Jayesh G

10. Thakor Ratansingh

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 the

5472

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 miscellaneous

5474

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.

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 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.

(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.

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 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.

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 any

5482

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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

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.

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

5486

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.

(C)Steel Authority of India Ltd.

V/s

Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat

2004 GLR (1) P : 729

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.

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 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.

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.

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.”

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).

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. The

5494

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.

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.

V/s

Gujarat Mazdoor Panchayat

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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.

(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 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 nature

5496

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.

The Government of India/Ministry of Labour, New Delhi by reference adjudication Order No. L-37011/2/2001-

IR(M) dated 10.08.2001 & 31.03.2003 referred the dispute for adjudication to the Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad

(Gujarat) in respect of the matter specified in the Schedule:

“Whether the demand of the union of Kandla Port Karamchari Sangh, Gandhidham against the management of

Kandla Port Trust, Gandhidham for absorption/regularisation of the Daily Rated Maitries of the Post of Sub-

Engineers (Civil)/jr. engineer (Civil) against the vacant posts as per their seniority is just, valid and legal? If so, to

what benefits the workmen are entitled for and what directions are necessary in the matter?”

1.

The reference dates back to 10.08.2001 & 31.03.2003. The second party submitted the statement of claim Ext. 7

on 21.04.2005. 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.

2.

Thus the reference is disposed of as not pressed and the demand of the union of Kandla Port Karamchari Sangh,

Gandhidham against the management of Kandla Port Trust, Gandhidham for absorption/regularisation of the Daily

Rated Maitries of the Post of Sub-Engineers (Civil)/jr. engineer (Civil) against the vacant posts as per their seniority is

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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.

Having received the Order NO. L-22012/313/2004-IR(CM-II) dated 15.07.2005 of the above said reference

from the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, a reference case No. 80 of 2005

was registered on 17.08.2005 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. In pursuance of the said order

notices by the registered post were sent to the parties concerned.

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. The case was fixed for evidence of Workman on 07.07.2015. The

representative of the Union, Sri H. L. Soni was present on 18.02.2016 and he prayed for time. 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

Award’ is hereby passed accordingly.

ORDER

AWARD

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.

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.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 12] 1938

“ 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 he

5510

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

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.

Tribunal.

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 relief

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

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : DECEMBER 3, 2016/AGRAHAYANA 12, 1938 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

SCHEDULE

“Whether the action of the management of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields

Limited in dismissing Sri Dilip Rai, U. G. Trammer , U.M. No. 673353 w.e.f. 29.03.1999 is legal and justified? If

not, to what relief is the workman entitled?”

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. 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 Dilip Rai has stated in his written statement that he was in employment of the company as

Under Ground Trammer at Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited. He was

Chargesheeted for alleged unauthorized absences from duty from 11.09.1998 to 31.10.1998 vide Chargesheet No.

BK/PD/15(10)/295 dated 31.10.1998. He was neither served with the Chargesheet nor Enquiry Notice etc. The General

Manager of Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited dismissed Sri Dilip Rai from the services of the company

w.e.f. 29.03.1999 vide his Order No. BA/PD/Dis/99/919 dated 26/29.01.1999 holding ex-parte enquiry. 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. Eastern Coalfields Limited to reinstate the workman in service with full back wages from the date of dismissal

with all consequential benefits.

3.

The Agent of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has alleged in his written

statement that, in fact Sri Dilip Rai who was an employee used to commit offences of absent without information. The

company on pervious occasions adopted lenient view in punishment so that the concerned workman may amend his

manner. But Sri Dilip Rai continued to act of absence without lawful sanction. Therefore he was chargesheeted vide

Chargesheet no. BK/PD/15(10)/295 dated 31.10.1998 for unauthorized absence form 31.10.1998. The workman neither

tendered explanation nor returned to the colliery. The Enquiry Officer sent notices requesting him to attend the enquiry

on 30.11.1998 & 14.01.1999 but no response was received from him. The Notice of Enquiry had been sent at his home

address recorded in official record. Enquiry Officer was compelled to proceed enquiry ex-parte and submitted his

report. 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 union has not whispered a single word about the delay in raising the dispute. The Agent of Bankola Colliery under

Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has prayed that the dismissal is justified and the workman is not

entitled to any relief.

4.

The workman has field the following documentary evidences :-

(i) Copy of the Chargesheet, (ii) Copy of the Enquiry Proceeding / Report, (iii) Copy of the Dismissal Order, (iv)

Copy of the Note Sheet for approval of disciplinary action by the General Manager of Bankola Area.

The workman Sri Dilip Rai has filed affidavit in his oral evidence. He has been cross-examined by the learned

advocate of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited

The management of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited has filed the

following documentary evidences :-

(i) Copy of the Chargesheet, (ii) Copy of the Notice of Enquiry dated 17.11.1998, (iii) Copy of the Notice of

Enquiry dated 25.12.1998, (iv) Copy of Enquiry Proceeding and Findings, (v) Copy of Dismissal Order, (vi) Copy of

union’s letter dated 26.01.2005, (vii) Copy of Show Cause Notice dated 05.03.1999.

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.

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 12] 1938

6.

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 notice

5518

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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.

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947(14 of 1947), Govt. of India through the Ministry of Labour vide its letter No. L-

22012/80/98 IR(CM-II) dated 22/01/1999 has been pleased to refer the following dispute for adjudication by this

Tribunal.

SCHEDULE

“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. In pursuance of the said order notices by

the registered post were sent to the parties concerned.

Case called out. Sri P. K. Das, learned advocate for the management is present. Sri S. K. Pandey appears on

behalf of the workman.

On perusal of the case record it is found that the case was fixed for evidence of the union on 11.02.2003. But

thereafter 34 dates were granted but all in vain. Registered notices were also issued to the union on 05.07.2004,

02.03.2009, and 08.08.2016. But in spite of several notices the union did not file evidence.

It seems that the workman has lost his interest in this case and does not want to proceed further with the case. The

case is also very old – of the year 1999. I have no option left but to close this old case. As such the case is closed and

accordingly a ‘No Dispute Award’ is hereby passed.

ORDER

Let an “Award” be and same is passed as no dispute existing. Send the copies of the order to the Govt. of India,

neither the workman nor the union responded. Moreover the union is not appearing since 2006.

It seems that the workman/union is now not at all interested to proceed with the case further. The case is also very

roster considered the case from all angle and saw the applicant and it is observed that she may not fit to work in

mines.

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-

20012/212/2004-IR(C-I) dt.24.03.2005

SCHEDULE

“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 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’.

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, she

5534

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.

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 12] 1938

12.

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

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % fnlEcj 3] 2016@vxzgk;.k 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 the

5544

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.

After receipt of the Reference, notices were served onboth the parties.Mr. P. Gaonkar appeared on behalf of

the second party/ Union. Management filed Vakalatnama of Mr. M.B. Anchan. Second party Union sought

adjournment for filing Statement of Claim. Though Mr. Gaonkar appeared on behalf of the second party Union did not

file Statement of Claim and sought adjournments.On 12/11/2014, Mr. P. Goankar filed application for withdrawing his

appearance on behalf of the second party. Fresh Notice was issued to parties for filing Statement of Claim on

01/03/2016 at Goa Camp Sitting. On 1/3/2016 Mr. G.S. Kubal appeared on behalf of the second party and sought

adjournment for filing Statement of Claim. Matter was adjourned to 17/05/2016. But second party/ Union remained

absent. Today also nobody appeared on behalf of second party union or filed Statement of Claim. Second party Union

failed to file their Statement of Claim even after giving sufficient opportunity. In the circumstances, it appears, Second

party/ Union is not interested in pursuing the matter. Without Statement of claim, the Reference cannot be decided on

merits and the same deserves to be dismissed. Thus I pass the following order:

Claim by the Workman. On 10.4.2012 workman filed application (Ex-16) for adjournment. Thereafter on 2/5/2012,

21/5/2012 & 18/6/2012 though workman remained present did not file Statement of claim and sought adjournment.

Matter was adjourned on three occasions thereafter and notice was issued to workman. On 5/9/2012 workman

remained present before this Tribunal but sought adjournment and finally filed his statement of claim (Ex-19) on

25/10/2012. On 15/02/2013 Management filed Vakalatnama of Shri S.V. Alva. Matter was adjourned on four

occasions for filing Written statement by Management and on 27/08/2013, they filed their Written Statement at Ex-21.

On 11/11/2013 issues were framed (Ex-22). Thereafter matter was adjourned on three occasions for filing of

documents and for affidavit by workman witness. On 25/03/2014, Workman filed rejoinder (Ex-23) and on 8/5/2014

he filed application(Ex-24) for directing Managementto file their documents. Management filed their Say (Ex-25) on

said application on 22/7/2014 and filed documents as per list Ex-26 on the next date. Matter was adjourned on several

occasions thereafter for filing affidavit of WW-1.

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.

AWARD

The Government of India, Ministry of Labour& Employment by its Order No.L-31012/02/2013-IR (B-II), dated

03.10.2013 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 demand of union to consider Shri Mritunjay Patil, Supervisor as a workman under Industrial

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”. However concerned workman Mr.M. Patil appeared

before this Tribunal in person on 13/5/2014 and on 11/12/2014. First party management filed application (Ex-7) stating

that the matter has been settled amicably out of court on 25/09/2014 and requested to dispose of the Reference.

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:

ORDER

Reference stands dismissed for want of prosecution.
