(ii)

Whether the punishment of dismissal imposed

against workman is proper and legal?

In Negative

(ii)

As per final order.

REASONS

9. Point No.1 The term of reference pertains to legality of order of removal of workman from service. As

per order dated 13-9-13, enquiry conducted against workman is held legal. Question whether charges alleged

against workman are proved or not needs to be decided considering evidence in Enquiry Proceedings. Enquiry

Officer in his report Exhibit M-10 recorded his findings on Article 1 to 3 is established. In para8, Enquiry

Officer observed the prosecution failed to prove charges framed except that the duplicate was not issued

against Card No. S/13663/67. Enquiry Officer recommended that the case be referred to Civil Authorities for

verification. It is clear that Enquiry Officer was confused while recording his finding. The findings of Enquiry

Officer were revised by Disciplinary Authority giving the reasons holding that the charges against workman

were proved. The order of punishment is produced at Exhibit M-11. Appeal preferred by workman was

rejected. During course of argument, learned counsel for workman Vijay Tripathi emphasized that while

passing order of removal, the evidence is not discussed. In M-11, Disciplinary Authority has endorsed that he

had gone through the evidence. Representation submitted by workman. He had disagreed with the reasons

given by Enquiry Officer. While passing order of dismissal, discussion of minute details of evidence cannot be

expected. Order passed in appeal is produced at Exhibit M-14.

10. Documents of enquiry are produced. After receiving complaint, the matter was investigated and after

receiving report of investigation dated 10-8-90, chargesheet was issued to workman. In Enquiry Proceedings,

3862

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

statements of management’s witnesses K.Sadasivan chargeman, R.C.Sakhare LDC. Statement of Mohan

employee working as labour in OFK have been recorded. Statement of two defence witnesses was also

recorded. Witness of management N.K.Yadav Employment Exchange Officer in his statement at Page 49 of

record of enquiry says that Employment Exchange Card issued for 3 years and is renewed periodically. It is

not possible to issue two Employment Exchange cards of same numbers. In reply to question, he says that

fortnight time is required for furnishing details of Employment Exchange Card No. S/13663/67. On

investigation, the particulars of Mohan Jukhai working in OFK were recorded, name of his father Jukhai

caste-Chamar, Amranala Behind Primary School, Card No. 13663/67 in 1979 to GIF & 1983 to OFK.

However Mr.Murarilal who had conducted enquiry was not examined.

11. In his statement, Shri K.Sadasivan chargeman has stated before Enquiry Officer that list forwarded by

Employment Exchange, call letters were issued from Exchange, it seems that Registration No. S/13603/67.

Statement of K.Sadasivan chargeman clearly shows that list of Employment Exchange, interview call

No.44/83 dated 5-9-83 Card No. S-13603/67 was mentioned when individual was called for interview, he

submitted his Employment Exchange Card bearing No. 13663/67. The age in the card indicated 1943 whereas

in list sponsored by Employment Exchange was mentioned 1949. It refers to the date of birth. In his statement,

R.C.Sakhare LDC says while preparing service book of workman, Employment Exchange Card and interview

letter was checked by him were kept with service book. however in his further statement, said witness says

workman had put his thump mark. He has not produced his documents about education. Workman has shown

his inability to produce educational documents. Evidence of Shri R.C.Sakhare LDC is also clear that he had

checked only interview call, Employment Exchange card was enclosed with the interview letter. Statement of

workman was recorded. In his statement, workman says he is not educated. In 1990, he learnt to sign and he

could read with continuity. Workman says he had committed mistake by signing the document. Date of birth

was 28-12-56, his father was in service of OFK and retired around year 1981. His mother received pension.

He has given details of his relatives Fulwabai-17 yrs, Suman Bai-14 yrs, Rekha bai- 12 yrs, Rupa Bai-10 yrs,

Smt Foolbasiya bai was his mother. In his further statement, workman says Employment Exchange Card of his

brother Mohan and himself were prepared on same date. He has declared his name as Sohanlal. When card

was issued, his name was written Mohan, why he did not correct the card, workman did not explained. As he

had received called letter. Statement of Mohan working in GIF was also recorded. He has given details of his

family, name of rather was Jhukai, his father was dead. That his brother by name Mohan was in service from

980. His mother Fulbasia bai received pension. The attestation form submitted by workman at Page 8, age of

workman was shown 27 years, his date of birth comes to 956. Statements of witnesses Mohanlal Choudhary

shows that Mohan working in OFK is not related to him. That he used to sign in his name Mohanlal. He

passed 7th standard at the time of joining service at GIF. He submitted original Employment Exchange Card at

GIF. This card was never lost. He deposited certificate of passing 7th standard. Name of his mother was

Draupati. After his appointment in GIF, he was staying in rental accommodation at different places. In his

cross, he says he deposited Employment Card at GIF. He given its intimation to Employment Exchange. He

claims ignorance whether anyone else by name Mohan is employed anywhere. That he is not related to Mohan

employed in OFK. That he got employment on the basis of his Employment Card. In his statement, MVSR

Murthy says he got information about E Card No. 13603/67, 13663/67 from records available. Card No.

13603/67 pertain to Mohan S/o Jhukai Card No. 13663/67 pertain to Raghunath S/o Shiv Chamar. The address

of both persons are given in his statement. In his cross-examination, said witness says as per existing records,

there is no entry w.r.t. Card No. S-13603/67. That there is no entry w.r.t. Card No. S-13663/67. The record are

not available. Witness was unable to tell whether Card No. S-13663/67 was bearing seal of Employment

Exchange.

12. Two witnesses Maniklal and Kallo were examined as Defence Witnesses. Their whole evidence is

devoted on the point that Mohan working in OFK was residing in their locality. They were unable to tell other

details of family of said Mohan. Evidence on record clearly shows that Card No. S-13603/67 was issued in

name of Mohan working in GIF and not in name of workman. Card No. 13663/67 was issued in name of

Raghunath and not in name of workman. Workman had submitted call letter in which Card No. 13603/67 was

mentioned. As per statement of management’s witness Sadasivan, when workman was called for interview he

submitted Employment Exchange Card No. 13663/67. As per evidence, said card was issued in name of

Raghunath. Any of the Employment Exchange Card were not issued in name of workman. It is clear that

workman had secured employment on basis of Employment Exchange Card issued in name of other person.

Evidence is clear that workman had not impersonated. Information was given by workman in attestation form.

He had put his thump mark. Management’s witness R.C.Sakhare, LDC when prepared service book,

workman had not submitted documents about educational qualification, Employment Exchange Card was not

produced. The evidence in enquiry proceedings proves that Ist party workman secured employment as labour

B Grade on the basis of Employment Exchange Card in name of other persons and as such adopting unfair

means. However charge of impersonation cannot be proved. Charge No.2 about submitting false declaration

also cannot be proved. As management’s witness Sakhare LDC did not take care while preparing service

book. evidence doesnot show information submitted by workman in attestation form was false as Employment

II

(ii)

3863

Exchange Card is not mentioned in attestation form. Article 3 alleged against workman pertains to Ist party

workman functioning in OFK as labour B Grade when workman was not holding Employment Exchange Card

under which he claimed the employment conduct of workman is certainly of nature of unbecoming on part

Government Servant. In this regard, learned counsel for Ist party Shri Vijay Tripathi relies on ratio held in

case between

Union of India and others versus Gyan Chand Chattar reported in 2009(12)SCC-78. Their lordship dealing

with service law held standard of proof in Departmental Enquiry. The proof and suspicion are different.

Ratio held in case between Roop Singh Negi versus Punjab National Bank and others reported in

2009(2)SCC-570. Their Lordship held mere production of documents is not enough, contents of documentary

evidence has to be proved by examining witnesses.

Ratio held in both cases cannot be applied to present case. Evidence of management’s witness discussed above

is clear that either of the Card No. S-13663/67 & S-13603/67 were not issued in name of workman. Both the

cards were issued in name of other persons. there is no question of proving FIR. Findings of competent

authority are supported form evidence of management’s witness. Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri

A.K.Shashi relied on ratio held in case between-

R.S.Saini versus State of Punjab and others reported in 1999(8)SCC-90. Their Lordship dealing with scope of

judicial review held if there is some evidence to reasonably support finding of inquiring authority the court in

exercise of its writ jurisdiction would not reverse the finding on the ground of insufficiency of evidence.

In case between State Bank of India versus Ramesh Dinkar Punde reported in 2006(9)SCC-212. Their

Lordship dealing with scope of judicial review held re-appreciation of evidence is not permissible.

In case of State of Haryana and another versus Ratan Singh reported in 1977(2)SCC-491. Their Lordship held

in Domestic enquiry, strict rules of evidence not applicable but fair play and natural justice applies.

In case between West Bokaro Colliery versus Ram Pravesh Singh reported in 2009-I-LLJ-220(SC). Their

Lordship held standard of proof in departmental enquiry proceedings is different from that of criminal cases.

CCS CCA Rule 15(2) provides that Disciplinary Authority can disagree with findings of Enquiry Officer

giving the tentative reasons. Disciplinary Authority before disagreeing with the findings of Enquiry Officer

had given opportunity to Ist party workman for submitting his representation.

Considering ratio in above cited cases, evidence of management’s witnesses discussed above needs no re-

appreciation. Evidence is sufficient to establish partly charge No.1 and charge No.3 fully proved. Accordingly

I record my finding in Point No.1.

13. Point No.2- As per my finding in Point No.1 Article of charge No.1 is partly proved to the extent that

workman secured employment as labour Grade B on the basis of Employment Exchange Card issued in name

of other person. Such conduct on his part is of nature of unbecoming on part of Government servant. Question

remains for consideration is whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages. Charge of

impersonation is not established. Evidence on record is clear that workman had secured employment using

Employment Exchange Card of other persons. However he had not submitted false information in attestation

form workman had put his thump mark on attestation form. The gravity of the charges proved against

workman is of lesser gravity than original charges alleged against him about personation and submitting false

declaration. Evidence of management’s witness Sakhare LDC was not diligent while preparing service book

of Ist party workman. Workman was engaged as labour Grade B since 2-1-84 till his removal from 29-7-99 for

about 15 years. Considering above aspects of the matter, punishment of removal from service appears too

harsh. In my considered view, the punishment of removal deserves to be modified to compulsory retirement.

Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2.

14. In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1) The action of the management of Ordnance Factory, Khamaria, Jabalpur (MP) in removing the services of

Shri Mohan is not legal. Punishment of removal is modified to punishment of compulsory retirement.

(2) 2nd party is directed to allow all retiral benefits to workman as per rules.

Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award.

In case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

AWARD

Passed on this 27th day of April, 2017

1.

As per letter dated 23-1-2002 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification

No. L-40012/274/2001-IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the action of the management of Sr.Supdt. Telegraphy Traffic, Indore Division, Indore in

terminating the services of Shri S.N.Saxena w.e.f. 1-5-84 is justified ? If not, to what relief the workman is

entitled for?”

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim at Page 4/1

to 4/2. Case of workman is that in 1972, he was engaged on daily wages, his services were confirmed as telegraphman

on 24-4-84. That his services were terminated on 25-2-85 without any reasons. That he completed 240 days continuous

service during each of the year. At the time of termination of his services, he was not served notice. Salary in lieu of

notice was not paid to him, he was not paid retrenchment compensation. After termination of his service, junior

employees were continued. Policy of first come last go was not followed. Termination of his service is in violation of

Section 25 N of ID Act. Workman further submits he was not given termination order in writing as per the standing

orders. He was not served chargesheet, enquiry was not conducted against him. On complaint by 2nd party, he was

prosecuted for offence under Section 420, 468, 465 IPC in Criminal Case 73/99 before JFC, Ujjain. He was acquitted in

II

(ii)

3865

said case on 3-8-00. Termination of his service is illegal. On above contentions, Ist party prays for his reinstatement

with backwages.

3.

2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 8/1 to 8/3 opposing claim of Ist party. That schedule of reference

shows termination of Ist party on 1-5-84. Services of Ist party were terminated on 25-2-85 and not on 1-5-84. The

services of Ist party were terminated on 25-2-85 and not on 1-5-84 as referred. Therefore reference has become invalid

and infructuous. 2nd party further contends that workman was not engaged on daily wages as claimed by workman. If

workman as appointed on temporary basis on 1-5-84 as per letter dated 24-4-84. The contentions of workman in

statement of claim are incorrect. As per letter dated 22-2-85 from Sr. Suptd. Telegraph, office Indore, services of

workman were terminated on 25-2-85. 2nd party denies that termination of workman is illegal. It is contented that

workman was habitually remaining absent and not performing his duty. His performance was poor. That in letter of

appointment dated 24-4-84, the services of workman can be terminated nay time without notice or assigning any

reasons. During service period, workman was charged for offence under 465 IPC as he produced false marksheet for

getting job. Workman was imprisoned for some months. It is alleged that workman was involved in rash driving and

other illegal activities. Management has lost confidence in workman due to said behaviour. Workman is not entitled to

any relief. His claim deserves to be dismissed.

4.

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

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

(i) Whether the action of the management of

Sr.Supdt. Telegraphy Traffic, Indore Division,

Indore in terminating the services of Shri

S.N.Saxena w.e.f. 1-5-84 is justified ?

Termination of workman from 22-2-85 is illegal.

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

As per final order.

REASONS

5.

Point No.1 The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of services of workman on 1-5-84. In

Written Statement, 2nd party has contented that workman was not terminated on 1-5-84 rather he was terminated on

22-2-85. Termination of workman on 22-2-85 is not in dispute between parties. The date of termination mentioned in

the schedule 1-5-84 is incorrect. It will not render dispute under re3ference illegal.

6.

On the point, learned counsel for 2nd party Shri R.S. Khare relies on ratio held in case between-

Tata Iron & Steel Co.Ltd. reported in 2014-1-SCC L&S-183. Their Lordship considered that reference is to be

worded. Reference presupposing respondent workmen are employees of appellant and that their services have been

transferred to M/s. L. held is clearly defective as it doesnot take care of the correct and precise nature of dispute

between the parties. On these suppositions, the limited scope of adjudication is confined to decide as to whether the

appellant is under an obligation to take back these workmen in service. Their Lordship quashed the reference,

directions issued to the Government to make fresh reference incorporating the real essence of the dispute without

prejudging issues from either perspective.

Ratio cannot be applied to case at hand. the date of termination shown in the order of reference is incorrect

1-5-84, the services of workman were undisputedly terminated on 22-2-85. Turning to merits of the controversy

between parties whether termination of workman is illegal, evidence on record needs to be considered.

7.

Ist party filed affidavit of his evidence stating that he was engaged on daily wages in 1972. On 24-4-82, he was

appointed as telegraphman issuing the appointment order. his services were terminated on 25-2-85. He worked more

than 240 days during each of the years. That more than 100 employees are working in 2nd party. Without holding

enquiry, his services were terminated, he was paid retrenchment compensation. Chargesheet was not issued to him. He

was prosecuted in criminal case 73/99 for offence under Section 420, 468, 465. He was acquitted in criminal case on

3-8-00. That he received order dated 11-11-75, he was continued in service. Termination of his service on 25-2-85 is

illegal. Ist party workman in his cross says he passed 8th standard. He knows title English he had filed statement of

claim after receiving copy of order of reference. He had read order of appointment and attended duty at Ujjain.

Workman has admitted contents of Exhibit M-1 are correct.

8.

Management’s filed affidavit of witness stating that he was appointed on daily wages on 24-4-84. His services

were terminated on 22-2-85. He completed more than 240 days continuous service. His services were not terminated on

1-5-84. That he had worked more than 240 days. Management’s witness in his cross says that workman has produced

bogus documents of passing 8th standard exam. Bogus marksheet was produced therefore services of workman were

3866

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

terminated. Any document is not available in that regard. In order of termination Exhibit W-1, reasons for termination

are not mentioned. Management’s witness explained that service record of workman as not proper. He was remaining

absent from duty. Therefore his services were terminated. Above reasons are not mentioned in order of termination

Exhibit W-2. Remaining absent from duty is covered as misconduct. There is no document that workman was served

with chargesheet or any enquiry was conducted against him. In reply to Exhibit W-3, management had written letter

Exhibit W-4. Management’s witness claims ignorance about the documents of 1975 and document dated 25-2-85. He

could not produce the documents. Management’s witness admits that documents about seniority are not available.

Workman was not paid retrenchment compensation.

9.

Turning to documentary evidence, Exhibit W-1 is order of appointment dated 24-4-84 workman was appointed

as temporary telegraphman on temporary basis pay scale Rs.196-3-220. Exhibit W-2 is order of termination of

workman dated 22-2-85, W-29 is copy of same order of termination reasons for termination are not mentioned in

W-2(a) Exhibit W-3 is application submitted by workman for reinstating him in service after his acquittal in criminal

case on 3-8-00. Exhibit W-4 is letter given by management. Management had not taken any action after acquittal of

workman. The instructions were letter was forwarded to the central office for information and appropriate action.

Exhibit W-5 is copy of judgment in criminal case. Ist party workman was acquitted on 3-8-00. Reading of judgment

Exhibit W-5 shows that workman was prosecuted on report dated 22-7-85 by Sr.Suptd Telegraph, Indore. However it is

difficult to comprehend when report was submitted by Sr. Telegraph Indore on 22-7-85, how criminal case was

registered in 1999.

10.

Workman has produced appointment letter Exhibit W-6 which was issued on 10-11-75. Evidence of workman is

supported by Exhibit W-6 that he was appointed on 10-11-75. His services were terminated on 22-2-85. The evidence

of management’s witness that workman was appointed first time on 24th April cannot be relied in view of appointment

letter Exhibit W-6. The evidence of management’s witness is about reasons of termination of service is not consistent.

His evidence is silent about prosecution of workman from report of Sr. Suptd, telegraph Division Indore. Evidence on

record shows that workman was continuously working since his appointment till date of his termination. Workman

worked more than 240 days during each of the year. His services were terminated without notice. Besides above,

workman was acquitted in criminal case as per judgment Exhibit W-5 in August 2000. On his application Exhibit W-3,

management did not take action, letter was forwarded to the superior authorities. Ist party workman is challenging

termination of his service on the ground that he was not paid retrenchment compensation. No enquiry was conducted

against him. Management’s witness in his cross says documents are not available about payment of retrenchment

compensation to workman or enquiry initiated against him.

11.

Learned counsel for Ist party Gehlod relies on ratio held in case between-

G.M.Tank versus State of Gujarat and others reported in 2006-SCC(L&S) 1121. Their Lordship dealing with

acquittal in criminal trial and sustainability of dismissal of employee concerned in case departmental enquiry and

criminal proceedings based on same set of facts, charges and evidence and witnesses. No evidence against employee to

hold him guilty. Employee honourably acquitted in criminal trial during pendency of proceedings challenged dismissal.

Finding to contrary recorded in departmental proceedings in such case held unjust, unfair and oppressive dismissal

order not sustainable.

In present case, 2nd party management did not initiate enquiry. W.r.t. allegations that workman had produced

bogus marksheet of examination or his performance was not proper. Neither the management requested permission to

prove said misconduct. Considering ratio in above case, dismissal of workman after his acquittal in criminal case is

illegal.

Learned counsel for workman relies on ratio held in case between Jaipur Development Authority versus

Ramsahai reported in 2007(1)SCC(L&S) 518. Requirement of continuous work in terms of Section 25 B held the same

is not a requirement under Section 25 G and H.

Rather the case of workman is after acquittal in criminal case, he requested for reinstatement in service which

was not considered by the management. Ratio held in the case cannot be beneficially applied to case at hand.

12.

Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri R.S. Khare relies on ratio held in case between-

Secretary, State of Karnataka and others versus Umadevi and others reported in 2006(4)SCC-1. Their Lordship

dealing with casual labour/ temporary employee held such employees do not have any right to regular or permanent

public employment.

In view of Ist party workman was appointed in 1975 and confirmed in 1984 as per Exhibit W-1, 6 ratio held in

the case cannot be applied to case at hand.

13.

Considering evidence on record, it is established that termination of services of workman on 22-5-85 is illegal

for violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Workman was acquitted in criminal case. Management did not seek permission

II

(ii)

3867

to prove any misconduct against him. Termination of services for any kind of misconduct without conducting enquiry

is illegal. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.

14.

Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 termination of services of workman is illegal, question remains

for consideration whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages. Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri

R.S. Khare relies on ratio held in case between-

Assistant Engineer, Rajasthan Development Corporation and another versus Gitam Singh reported in

2013(2)SCC(L&S) 369. Their Lordship considering termination of daily wager working for short period of 240 days

only awarded compensation Rs.50,000.

In present case, workman was continuously working from November 75 till termination of his service 22-2-85.

Ratio held in the case cannot be applied to case at hand.

Shri R.S. Khare also relies on ratio held in case between MP State Agro Industries Development corporation Ltd

and another reported in 2006(2)SCC-716. Their Lordship dealing with casual labour and right to regularization held

that only because a temporary employee completed 240 days would not confirm any legal right for regularization.

That daily wager doesnot hold a post as he was not appointed in accordance with provisions of act..

Workman was appointed on 24-4-85 (W-1) . Again in 1975, as per Exhibit W-6), 2nd party has not pleaded any

thing that the appointment of workman was contrary to any rules. Therefore ratio held in case cannot be applied to case

at hand.

As per ratio held in Batala Coop Sugar Mills Ltd versus Sowaran Singh reported in 2005(8)SCC-481. Held

ownus to prove 240 days continuous service lies on workman. Evidence of workman is cogent that he was continuously

working from 1975 till termination of his service on 22-2-85. Workman has already established 240 days continuous

service as discussed while dealing with Point No.1.

Shri R.S. Khare also relies on unreported judgment between Union of India versus Ravendra Chandra Banerjee .

I have gone through the above cited judgment. The facts of present case are not comparable. The judgment cannot be

applied to present case.

Considering that services of workman are terminated in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. After his acquittal

in criminal case, workman was not allowed to resume duty. In view of judgment in G.M.Tank versus State of Gujarat

and others reported in 2006-SCC(L&S) 1121, dismissal of workman is illegal and therefore workman deserves to be

reinstated in service. So far as question of backwages is concerned, workman was terminated in 1985. He did not

immediately raised dispute. Only after his acquittal in criminal case on 3-8-00, workman prayed for his reinstatement

and dipute has been referred on 1-7-02. Workman had died and his LRs are brought on record. Death certificate

produced on record shows workman died on 6-1-16. Therefore reinstatement of workman is not possible. Considering

date of termination and his acquittal in criminal case in August 2000, compensation Rs.2,50,000 would be appropriate.

Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2.

15.

In the result, award is passed as under :-

(1)

The action of the management of Sr.Supdt. Telegraphy Traffic, Indore Division, Indore in terminating the

services of Shri S.N.Saxena w.e.f. 1-5-84 is illegal.

(2)

Management is directed to pay compensation Rs.2,50,000 to the workman .

Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In

case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

AWARD

Sri Sandella Sampath who worked as Badli Filler (who will be referred to as the workman) has filed this

petition under Sec. 2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 against the Respondents M/s. Singareni Collieries

Company Ltd., seeking for declaring the proceeding No. RKP/Per/R/008/5370 dated 24.9.2002 issued by Respondent

No.1 as illegal, arbitrary and to set aside the same consequently directing the Respondents to reinstate the Petitioner

into service duly granting all the consequential benefits such as continuity of service, back wages and all other

attendant benefits etc., and such other reliefs as this court may deems fit.

2.

The averments made in the petition in brief are as follows:

The Petitioner was appointed as Badli Filler on 7.6.2000 and he was regular to his duties till the end of the year

2000. But during the year 2001 Petitioner suffered with illness and other family problems. While the matters stood

thus, charge sheet dated 4.2.2002 was issued to the Petitioner by the Respondents alleging that the Petitioner could

work only for 73 days during the year 2001, which amounts to misconduct under company’s Standing Order No.25.25.

Subsequently, one inquiry was conducted and during the time of the enquiry, the Petitioner was not given any

opportunity much less valid in nature to put forth his grievances. Basing on such lopsided enquiry, the Enquiry Officer

held the charges as proved and basing on the erroneous findings of the Enquiry Officer, the Petitioner was dismissed

from service vide order No. RKP/Per/R/008/5370 dated 24.9.2002. It is stated that during the course of the enquiry the

Petitioner has categorically stated that his inability to perform his duties regularly during the year 2001 was only on

account of his ill-health and other family problems. But without considering any of his submissions, the Petitioner was

II

(ii)

3869

dismissed from service. It is also stated that the action of the Respondents management in dismissing the Petitioner

from service is wholly illegal, arbitrary, violative of the principles of natural justice. The Petitioner has rendered 2

years of continuous service in the Respondents’ management. The Petitioner approached the Respondents to consider

his case sympathetically, but the management did not pay any heed to it. Therefore, the Petitioner was constrained to

approach this Tribunal to declare the impugned order No. RKP/Per/R/008/5370 dated 24.9.2002 issued by the

Respondents is illegal and arbitrary and to set aside the same and consequently to direct the Respondents to reinstate

the Petitioner into service duly granting all other attendant benefits such as continuity of service, back wages etc..

3.

The Respondents filed counter denying the averments made in the petition, with the averments in brief

which runs as follows:

In the counter the Respondents while admitting some of the factual aspects to be true, stated that the Petitioner

was appointed in the Respondents’ company on 6.7.2000 under dependent employment. He was dismissed from

service on proved charges of absenteeism, after conducting a detailed domestic enquiry duly following the principles of

natural justice. The Petitioner has attended the enquiry fixed and had fully participated in the enquiry. He was given

full, fair and reasonable opportunity to defend himself in the enquiry. The enquiry was conducted purely following the

principles of natural justice. It is stated that basing on the evidence adduced before the Enquiry Officer, the Enquiry

Officer submitted his report holding the charges levelled against the Petitioner was proved. A copy of the enquiry

report and the enquiry proceeding was sent to the Petitioner by way of show cause notice giving him an opportunity to

make representation against the findings of the enquiry report; since the charge levelled against the Petitioner is

proved and it was serious in nature, punishment warranted was dismissal from service. The Disciplinary Authority has

gone through the enquiry proceeding and his past record and found that there was no extenuating circumstances to take

a lenient view and lastly, the Respondents were constrained to dismiss the Petitioner from service. It is stated that in

fact the Petitioner was irregular to his duties and he did not improve his attendance even after issuing charge sheet to

him, and after receiving the show cause notice. It is further stated that the punishment imposed on the Petitioner is

justified and legal and as such the claim petition is liable to be dismissed in limini.

4.

The domestic enquiry conducted in the present case is held as legal and valid vide order dated 20.12.2011.

5.

Both the parties have advanced their arguments under Sec.11(A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, in

support of their claim.

6.

In view of the above facts, the points for determination are:

I.

Whether the action of the management of M/s. Singareni Collieries Company Ltd., in imposing the

punishment of dismissal from service to Sri Sandella Sampath is legal and justified?

II.

Whether the Petitioner is entitled for reinstatement into service?

III.

If not, to what other relief he is entitled?

7.

Point No.I: During the course of argument, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner

submitted that due to illness and other family problems, the Petitioner could not be able to attend his duty sincerely.

Even in his show cause the Petitioner has mentioned the above fact but it has not been considered during the course of

the enquiry and on account of absenteeism capital punishment of dismissal from service was imposed on the

Petitioner. When the Petitioner has taken a stand that due to his illness, and other family problems he could not be able

to attend his duties regularly and remained absent, the authority should have considered his case while imposing

punishment. The authority has not considered any of the submissions of the Petitioner, and has given capital

punishment to the Petitioner when several modes of punishment are enumerated in the company’s Standing Orders.

8.

On the other hand, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondents submitted that when the

Petitioner was a chronic absentee and was found guilty in the charges levelled against him, the punishment imposed

by the Respondents’ company is legal and proper. When the Petitioner was not sincere in his duty and failed to

maintain minimum musters in a year he is not entitled to be reinstated in service.

9.

Admittedly, working in the Mines is hazardous and remaining absent is not unusual. In this case, due to his

illness and other family problems, the Petitioner could not be able to be regular in his duty, the Petitioner has

remained absent in his duties and a proceeding was initiated against him for his absenteeism followed by an enquiry.

In the enquiry, the charges levelled against the Petitioner were proved. For this, capital punishment was imposed.

After dismissal of service, the Petitioner has become jobless and unable to provide a square meal to his family

members. He has already realised his mistake and has taken shelter in the court at the age of 26 years, he is now aged

about 33 years and is searching ways and means to provide bread and butter to his family members. When the

Petitioner being an able bodied and energetic man has already realised his mistake and is coming forward to work

under the Respondents, atleast one chance should be given to him for reinstatement into service. Admittedly several

modes of punishment are enumerated in company’s Standing Orders. The Petitioner is a first offender and has worked

3870

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

for more than one year under the Respondent. While imposing capital punishment to his employees, the management

should think of the condition of the workers as well as his family members. In this case, the punishment imposed by

the Respondents for dismissal of service is too harsh. Therefore, it can safely be stated that the action taken by the

management in imposing the punishment of dismissal from service to Sri Sandella Sampath is not legal and justified.

Thus, Point No.I is answered accordingly.

10.

Point Nos. II & III: In Point No.I, it has already been discussed that the punishment of dismissal from service

to Sri Sandella Sampath is not legal and justified. After dismissal of service as stated earlier, when the Petitioner has

already realised his mistake and has come to the court with a prayer for reinstatement into service he should be given

a chance to serve for his family members. After dismissal of service the Petitioner has become jobless and he being the

sole bread earner of his family, is unable to provide a square meal to his family members. In such a circumstances

atleast the Petitioner should be given a chance to maintain his livelihood and to work under the Respondents’

management. But in this case, the Petitioner has not come to the court soon after his dismissal of service. In the

opinion of this Tribunal the Petitioner is not entitled to get all the relief as claimed in his claim petition. But he is only

entitled to be given a chance to work in the Respondents’ management.

Thus, Point Nos. II & III are answered accordingly.

ORDER

Proceeding No. RKP/Per/R/008/5370 dated 24.9.2002 issued by Respondent No.1 is declared as illegal and is

hereby set aside. It is ordered that the workman Sri Sandella Sampath be taken into service as a fresh employee i.e.,

Badli filler in Cat.I, on initial basic pay without back wages and continuity of service, subject to medical fitness by the

company Medical Board and the workman be kept under probation for a period of one year. The management is also

directed to take an undertaking of good behaviour from the workman at the time of his posting.

The Workman can not claim for his posting in the same place, where he was last employed. The workman

shall have to maintain either minimum mandatory 20 musters every month or 190 musters in a year and the

management shall have the right to review the work of the workman in every three months. In the event of any short

fall of attendance during the period of the three months, the service of the workman will not be terminated and he will

be cautioned to improve his performance by issuing him a warning letter. However, in the event of any shortfall of

attendance during one year of service of the workman, he will be terminated from service without any further notice

and enquiry. The management shall consider any forced absenteeism on account of Mine accidents/ Natural disasters,

taking treatment in the company’s hospital, as attendance. All other usual terms and conditions of appointment will

be applicable i.e., transfer, hours of work, day of rest, holidays etc.. to the workman for appointment afresh.

Award is passed accordingly. Transmit.

AWARD

Sri Barla Jayaraj who worked as Badli Filler (who will be referred to as the workman) has filed this petition

under Sec. 2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 against the Respondents M/s. Singareni Collieries Company

Ltd., seeking for declaring the proceeding No. MMR/PER/D/072/6749 dated 27.12.2007 issued by Respondent No.1

as illegal, arbitrary and to set aside the same consequently directing the Respondents to reinstate the Petitioner into

service duly granting all the consequential benefits such as continuity of service, back wages and all other attendant

benefits etc., and such other reliefs as this court may deems fit.

2.

The averments made in the petition in brief are as follows:

The Petitioner was appointed as Badli Filler on 21.3.2000 and he was regular to his duties till the year 2004.

But during the year 2005 the Petitioner suffered with ‘Ameebic Liver Abscess C Brondal Asther’ and other family

problems. While the matters stood thus, charge sheet dated 16.10.2006 was issued to the Petitioner by the

Respondents alleging that the Petitioner remained absent during the year 2005, which amounts to misconduct under

company’s Standing Order No.25.25. Subsequently, one inquiry was conducted and during the time of the enquiry,

the Petitioner was not given any opportunity much less valid in nature to put forth his grievances. Basing on such

lopsided enquiry, the Enquiry Officer held the charges as proved and basing on the erroneous findings of the Enquiry

Officer, the Petitioner was dismissed from service vide order No. MMR/PER/D/072/6749 dated 27.12.2007. It is

3872

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

stated that during the course of the enquiry the Petitioner has categorically stated that his inability to perform his duties

regularly during the year 2005 was only on account of his ill-health and other family problems. But without

considering any of his submissions, the Petitioner was dismissed from service. It is also stated that the action of the

Respondents management in dismissing the Petitioner from service is wholly illegal, arbitrary, violative of the

principles of natural justice. The Petitioner has rendered 5 years of continuous service in the Respondents’

management. The Petitioner approached the Respondents to consider his case sympathetically, but the management

did not pay any heed to it. Therefore, the Petitioner was constrained to approach this Tribunal to declare the impugned

order No. MMR/PER/D/072/6749 dated 27.12.2007 issued by the Respondents is illegal and arbitrary and to set aside

the same and consequently to direct the Respondents to reinstate the Petitioner into service duly granting all other

attendant benefits such as continuity of service, back wages etc..

3.

The Respondents filed counter denying the averments made in the petition, with the averments in brief

which runs as follows:

In the counter the Respondents while admitting some of the factual aspects to be true, stated that the Petitioner

was appointed in the Respondents’ company on 24.3.2000. He was dismissed from service on proved charges of

absenteeism, after conducting a detailed domestic enquiry duly following the principles of natural justice. The

Petitioner has attended the enquiry fixed and had fully participated in the enquiry. He was given full, fair and

reasonable opportunity to defend himself in the enquiry. The enquiry was conducted purely following the principles of

natural justice. It is stated that basing on the evidence adduced before the Enquiry Officer, the Enquiry Officer

submitted his report holding the charges levelled against the Petitioner was proved. A copy of the enquiry report and

the enquiry proceeding was sent to the Petitioner by way of show cause notice giving him an opportunity to make

representation against the findings of the enquiry report; since the charge levelled against the Petitioner is proved and

it was serious in nature, punishment warranted was dismissal from service. The Disciplinary Authority has gone

through the enquiry proceeding and his past record and found that there was no extenuating circumstances to take a

lenient view and lastly, the Respondents were constrained to dismiss the Petitioner from service. It is stated that in fact

the Petitioner was irregular to his duties and he did not improve his attendance even after issuing charge sheet to him,

and after receiving the show cause notice. It is further stated that the punishment imposed on the Petitioner is justified

and legal and as such the claim petition is liable to be dismissed in limini.

4.

The domestic enquiry conducted in the present case is held as legal and valid vide order dated 17.9.2011.

5.

Both the parties have advanced their arguments under Sec.11(A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, in

support of their claim.

6.

In view of the above facts, the points for determination are:

I.

Whether the action of the management of M/s. Singareni Collieries Company Ltd., in imposing the

punishment of dismissal from service to Sri Barla Jayaraj is legal and justified?

II.

Whether the Petitioner is entitled for reinstatement into service?

III.

If not, to what other relief he is entitled?

7.

Point No.I : During the course of argument, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner

submitted that due to ‘Ameebic Liver Abscess C Brondal Asther’ and other family problems, the Petitioner could not

be able to attend his duty sincerely. Even in his show cause the Petitioner has mentioned the above fact but it has not

been considered during the course of the enquiry and on account of absenteeism capital punishment of dismissal from

service was imposed on the Petitioner. When the Petitioner has taken a stand that due to his illness, and other family

problems he could not be able to attend his duties regularly and remained absent, the authority should have considered

his case while imposing punishment. The authority has not considered any of the submissions of the Petitioner, and

has given capital punishment to the Petitioner when several modes of punishment are enumerated in the company’s

Standing Orders.

8.

On the other hand, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondents submitted that when the

Petitioner was a chronic absentee and was found guilty in the charges levelled against him, the punishment imposed

by the Respondents’ company is legal and proper. When the Petitioner was not sincere in his duty and failed to

maintain minimum musters in a year he is not entitled to be reinstated in service.

9.

Admittedly, working in the Mines is hazardous and remaining absent is not unusual. In this case, due to his

illness and other family problems, the Petitioner could not be able to be regular in his duty, the Petitioner has

remained absent in his duties and a proceeding was initiated against him for his absenteeism followed by an enquiry.

In the enquiry, the charges levelled against the Petitioner were proved. For this, capital punishment was imposed.

After dismissal of service, the Petitioner has become jobless and unable to provide a square meal to his family

II

(ii)

3873

members. He has already realised his mistake and has taken shelter in the court at the age of 32 years, he is now

aged about 39 years and is searching ways and means to provide bread and butter to his family members. When

the Petitioner being an able bodied and energetic man has already realised his mistake and is coming forward to

work under the Respondents, atleast one chance should be given to him for reinstatement into service. Admittedly

several modes of punishment are enumerated in company’s Standing Orders. The Petitioner is a first offender and

has worked for more than five years under the Respondent. While imposing capital punishment to his employees,

the management should think of the condition of the workers as well as his family members. In this case, the

punishment imposed by the Respondents for dismissal of service is too harsh. Therefore, it can safely be stated that

the action taken by the management in imposing the punishment of dismissal from service to Sri Barla Jayaraj is

not legal and justified.

Thus, Point No.I is answered accordingly.

10.

Point Nos. II & III: In Point No.I, it has already been discussed that the punishment of dismissal from service

to Sri Barla Jayaraj is not legal and justified. After dismissal of service as stated earlier, when the Petitioner has

already realised his mistake and has come to the court with a prayer for reinstatement into service he should be given

a chance to serve for his family members. After dismissal of service the Petitioner has become jobless and he being the

sole bread earner of his family, is unable to provide a square meal to his family members. In such a circumstances

atleast the Petitioner should be given a chance to maintain his livelihood and to work under the Respondents’

management. But in this case, the Petitioner has not come to the court soon after his dismissal of service. In the

opinion of this Tribunal the Petitioner is not entitled to get all the relief as claimed in his claim petition. But he is only

entitled to be given a chance to work in the Respondents’ management.

Thus, Point Nos. II & III are answered accordingly.

ORDER

Proceeding No. MMR/PER/D/072/6749 dated 27.12.2007 issued by Respondent No.1 is declared as illegal and

is hereby set aside. It is ordered that the workman Sri Barla Jayaraj be taken into service as a fresh employee i.e.,

Badli filler in Cat.I, on initial basic pay without back wages and continuity of service, subject to medical fitness by the

company Medical Board and the workman be kept under probation for a period of one year. The management is also

directed to take an undertaking of good behaviour from the workman at the time of his posting.

The Workman can not claim for his posting in the same place, where he was last employed. The workman

shall have to maintain either minimum mandatory 20 musters every month or 190 musters in a year and the

The averments made in the petition in brief are as follows:

The Petitioner was appointed as a Sweeper (Night Soil) and he was regular to his duties till the year 2003. But

during the year 2004 the Petitioner suffered with illness and other family problems like illness of his wife. While the

matters stood thus, charge sheet dated 15.2.2005 was issued to the Petitioner by the Respondents alleging that the

In the counter the Respondents while admitting some of the factual aspects to be true, stated that the

Petitioner was appointed in the Respondents’ company on 11.11.1990 and he was working at Kasipet Mine of

Mandamarri Area. He was dismissed from service on proved charges of absenteeism, after conducting a detailed

The domestic enquiry conducted in the present case is held as legal and valid vide order dated 24.11.2010.

5.

Both the parties have advanced their arguments under Sec.11(A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, in

support of their claim.

6.

In view of the above facts, the points for determination are:

I.

Whether the action of the management of M/s. Singareni Collieries Company Ltd., in imposing the

punishment of dismissal from service to Sri Muthyala Ram Babu is legal and justified?

II.

In the enquiry, the charges levelled against the Petitioner were proved. For this, capital punishment was imposed.

After dismissal of service, the Petitioner has become jobless and unable to provide a square meal to his family

members. He has already realised his mistake and has taken shelter in the court at the age of 38 years, he is now aged

about 45 years and is searching ways and means to provide bread and butter to his family members. When the

AWARD

Sri Gattu Devaji who worked as Coal Filler (who will be referred to as the workman) has filed this petition

under Sec. 2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 against the Respondents M/s. Singareni Collieries Company

Ltd., seeking for declaring the proceeding No. KK5A/97/5.disp/2193 dated 15.11.1997 issued by Respondent No.2 as

illegal, arbitrary and to set aside the same consequently directing the Respondents to reinstate the Petitioner into service

duly granting all the consequential benefits such as continuity of service, back wages and all other attendant benefits

etc., and such other reliefs as this court may deems fit.

2.

The averments made in the petition in brief are as follows:

The Petitioner was appointed as badli filler on 20.5.1990 and later he was confirmed as Coal Filler in the year 1995.

It is submitted that, if the past record of the Petitioner is glimpsed, it can be made known that he met with mine

accident on 6.8.1991, due to which he sustained injury on his right eye brow, even then, he rejoined in the duties in a

short time to work. The Petitioner was regular to his duties till the year 1995. But during the year 1996, the Petitioner

suffered with Pluantralgian with raised ESR of one year, for which he was treated at Area Hospital of 1st Respondent

at Bellampally. While the matters stood thus, charge sheet dated 28.4.1997 was issued to the Petitioner by the

Respondents alleging that the Petitioner absented for duty during the year 1996, which amounts to misconduct under

company’s Standing Order No.25.25. Subsequently, one inquiry was conducted, and during the time of the enquiry,

the Petitioner was not given any opportunity much less valid in nature to put forth his grievances. Basing on such

lopsided enquiry, the Enquiry Officer held the charges as proved and basing on the erroneous findings of the Enquiry

Officer, a show cause notice dated 23/25.11.2005 was issued and the Petitioner’s name was removed from services vide

office memo No. KK5A/97/5.disp/2193 dated 15.11.1997. It is stated that during the course of the enquiry the

Petitioner has categorically stated that his inability to perform his duties regularly during the year 1996 was only on

account of his ill-health and other family problems. But without considering any of his submissions, the Petitioner was

dismissed from service. It is also stated that the action of the Respondents management in dismissing the Petitioner

from service is wholly illegal, arbitrary, violative of the principles of natural justice. The Petitioner has rendered five

years of continuous service in the Respondents’ management. The Petitioner approached the Respondents to consider

his case sympathetically, but the management did not pay any heed to it. Therefore, the Petitioner was constrained to

approach this Tribunal to declare the impugned order No. KK5A/97/5.disp/2193 dated 15.11.1997 issued by the

Respondents is illegal and arbitrary and to set aside the same and consequently to direct the Respondents to reinstate

the Petitioner into service duly granting all other attendant benefits such as continuity of service, back wages etc..

3.

The Respondents filed counter denying the averments made in the petition, with the averments in brief

which runs as follows:

In the counter the Respondents while admitting some of the factual aspects to be true, stated that the Petitioner

was appointed in the Respondents’ company on 18.5.1990 as Badli Filler and he was regularised as Coal Filler

subsequently. He was dismissed from service on proved charges of absenteeism, after conducting a detailed domestic

enquiry duly following the principles of natural justice. The Petitioner has attended the enquiry fixed and had fully

participated in the enquiry. He was given full, fair and reasonable opportunity to defend himself in the enquiry. The

enquiry was conducted purely following the principles of natural justice. It is stated that basing on the evidence

adduced before the Enquiry Officer, the Enquiry Officer submitted his report holding the charges levelled against the

Petitioner was proved. A copy of the enquiry report and the enquiry proceeding was sent to the Petitioner by way of

show cause notice giving him an opportunity to make representation against the findings of the enquiry report; since

the charge levelled against the Petitioner is proved and it was serious in nature, punishment warranted was dismissal

from service. The Disciplinary Authority has gone through the enquiry proceeding and his past record and found that

there was no extenuating circumstances to take a lenient view and lastly, the Respondents were constrained to dismiss

the Petitioner from service. It is stated that in fact the Petitioner was irregular to his duties and he did not improve his

attendance even after issuing charge sheet to him, and after receiving the show cause notice. It is further stated that the

punishment imposed on the Petitioner is justified and legal and as such the claim petition is liable to be dismissed in

limini.

4.

The domestic enquiry conducted in the present case is held as legal and valid vide order dated 28.2.2012.

5.

Both the parties have advanced their arguments under Sec.11(A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, in

support of their claim.

II

(ii)

3879

6.

In view of the above facts, the points for determination are:

I.

Whether the action of the management of M/s. Singareni Collieries Company Ltd., in imposing the

punishment of dismissal from service to Sri Gattu Devaji is legal and justified?

II.

Whether the Petitioner is entitled for reinstatement into service?

III.

If not, to what other relief he is entitled?

7.

Point No.I: During the course of argument, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner

submitted that due to illness the Petitioner could not be able to attend his duty sincerely. Even in his show cause the

Petitioner has mentioned the above fact but it has not been considered during the course of the enquiry and on account

of absenteeism capital punishment of dismissal from service was imposed on the Petitioner. When the Petitioner has

taken a stand that due to his illness, he could not be able to attend his duties regularly and remained absent, the

authority should have considered his case while imposing punishment. The authority has not considered any of the

submissions of the Petitioner, and has given capital punishment to the Petitioner when several modes of punishment

are enumerated in the company’s Standing Orders.

8.

On the other hand, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondents submitted that when the

Petitioner was a chronic absentee and was found guilty in the charges levelled against him, the punishment imposed

by the Respondents’ company is legal and proper. When the Petitioner was not sincere in his duty and failed to

maintain minimum musters in a year he is not entitled to be reinstated in service.

9.

Admittedly, working in the Mines is hazardous and remaining absent is not unusual. In this case, due to his

illness and other family problems, the Petitioner could not be able to be regular in his duty, the Petitioner has

remained absent in his duties and a proceeding was initiated against him for his absenteeism followed by an enquiry.

In the enquiry, the charges levelled against the Petitioner were proved. For this, capital punishment was imposed.

After dismissal of service, the Petitioner has become jobless and unable to provide a square meal to his family

members. He has already realised his mistake and has taken shelter in the court at the age of 44 years, he is now aged

about 53 years and is searching ways and means to provide bread and butter to his family members. When the

Petitioner being an able bodied and energetic man has already realised his mistake and is coming forward to work

under the Respondents, atleast one chance should be given to him for reinstatement into service. Admittedly several

modes of punishment are enumerated in company’s Standing Orders. The Petitioner is a first offender and has worked

for more than 5 years under the Respondent. While imposing capital punishment to his employees, the management

should think of the condition of the workers as well as his family members. In this case, the punishment imposed by

the Respondents for dismissal of service is too harsh. Therefore, it can safely be stated that the action taken by the

management in imposing the punishment of dismissal from service to Sri Gattu Devaji is not legal and justified.

Thus, Point No.I is answered accordingly.

10.

Point Nos. II & III: In Point No.I, it has already been discussed that the punishment of dismissal from service

to Sri Gattu Devaji is not legal and justified. After dismissal of service as stated earlier, when the Petitioner has already

realised his mistake and has come to the court with a prayer for reinstatement into service he should be given a chance

to serve for his family members. After dismissal of service the Petitioner has become jobless and he being the sole

bread earner of his family, is unable to provide a square meal to his family members. In such a circumstances atleast

the Petitioner should be given a chance to maintain his livelihood and to work under the Respondents’ management.

But in this case, the Petitioner has not come to the court soon after his dismissal of service. In the opinion of this

Tribunal the Petitioner is not entitled to get all the relief as claimed in his claim petition. But he is only entitled to be

given a chance to work in the Respondents’ management.

Thus, Point Nos. II & III are answered accordingly.

ORDER

Proceeding No. KK5A/97/5.disp/2193 dated 15.11.1997 issued by Respondent No.1 is declared as illegal and is

hereby set aside. It is ordered that the workman Sri Gattu Devaji be taken into service as a fresh employee i.e., Badli

filler in Cat.I, on initial basic pay without back wages and continuity of service, subject to medical fitness by the

company Medical Board and the workman be kept under probation for a period of one year. The management is also

directed to take an undertaking of good behaviour from the workman at the time of his posting.

The Workman can not claim for his posting in the same place, where he was last employed. The workman

shall have to maintain either minimum mandatory 20 musters every month or 190 musters in a year and the

management shall have the right to review the work of the workman in every three months. In the event of any short

fall of attendance during the period of the three months, the service of the workman will not be terminated and he will

be cautioned to improve his performance by issuing him a warning letter. However, in the event of any shortfall of

3880

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

attendance during one year of service of the workman, he will be terminated from service without any further notice

and enquiry. The management shall consider any forced absenteeism on account of Mine accidents/ Natural disasters,

taking treatment in the company’s hospital, as attendance. All other usual terms and conditions of appointment will

be applicable i.e., transfer, hours of work, day of rest, holidays etc.. to the workman for appointment afresh.

Award is passed accordingly. Transmit.

Sri J. Narasimha Swamy who worked as Shot Firer (who will be referred to as the workman) has filed this

petition under Sec. 2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 against the Respondents M/s. Singareni Collieries

Company Ltd., seeking for declaring the proceeding No. KGM/PER/7/2340 dated 16.8.2003 issued by Respondent

No.1 as illegal, arbitrary and to set aside the same consequently directing the Respondents to reinstate the Petitioner

into service duly granting all the consequential benefits such as continuity of service, back wages and all other

attendant benefits etc., and such other reliefs as this court may deems fit.

2.

The averments made in the petition in brief are as follows:

The Petitioner was appointed as TGM on 22.11.1974 and later he was promoted as Route Bolting Mazdoor,

thereafter he was further promoted as Shot Firer in the year 1986. The Petitioner was regular to his duties till the year

2002. On account of GB Syndrome, the Petitioner’s Son aged about 19 years lost movement of most of the parts of his

body, such as hands, legs and also speech and became bed ridden. It is submitted that, the Petitioner has taken his son

to the company’s hospital, who in turn referred him to Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad. Accordingly, the

Petitioner’s son was given treatment at Osmania Hospital, Hyderabad, thereafter the Petitioner’s son once again

admitted to the company’s Main Hospital in July, 2002. Even thereafter, as there was no improvement, the Petitioner

took him to various hospitals at Vijayawada, Kakinada. As there was no other male member in his family, the

Petitioner accompanies his son to all the hospitals during the year 2002. Ultimately, the Petitioner’s son could recover

from the illness, to some extent. While the matters stood thus, charge sheet dated 11.1.2003 was issued to the

Petitioner by the Respondents alleging that the Petitioner absented for duty during the year 2002, which amounts to

misconduct under company’s Standing Order No.25.25 and 25.31. Subsequently, one inquiry was conducted and

during the time of the enquiry, the Petitioner was not given any opportunity much less valid in nature to put forth his

grievances. Basing on such lopsided enquiry, the Enquiry Officer held the charges as proved and basing on the

erroneous findings of the Enquiry Officer, the Petitioner was dismissed from service with effect from 20.8.2003 vide

order No. KGM/PER/7/2340 dated 16.8.2003. It is stated that during the course of the enquiry the Petitioner has

categorically stated that his inability to perform his duties regularly during the year 2002 was only on account of his

son’s ill-health. But without considering any of his submissions, the Petitioner was dismissed from service. It is also

stated that the action of the Respondents management in dismissing the Petitioner from service is wholly illegal,

arbitrary, violative of the principles of natural justice. The Petitioner has rendered 18 years of continuous service in the

Respondents’ management. The Petitioner approached the Respondents to consider his case sympathetically, but the

management did not pay any heed to it. Therefore, the Petitioner was constrained to approach this Tribunal to declare

the impugned order No. KGM/PER/7/2340 dated 16.8.2003 issued by the Respondents is illegal and arbitrary and to set

aside the same and consequently to direct the Respondents to reinstate the Petitioner into service duly granting all other

attendant benefits such as continuity of service, back wages etc..

3.

The Respondents filed counter denying the averments made in the petition, with the averments in brief

which runs as follows:

In the counter the Respondents while admitting some of the factual aspects to be true, stated that the Petitioner was

appointed in the Respondents’ company on 22.1.1974 and he was promoted as Roof Bolting Mazdoor with effect from

12.11.1979. Subsequently, he was promoted as Shot Firer-D Grade with effect from 1.6.1987. The Petitioner was

II

(ii)

3885

promoted as SF Grade-C with effect from 1.10.1997. He was dismissed from service on proved charges of

absenteeism, after conducting a detailed domestic enquiry duly following the principles of natural justice. The

Petitioner has attended the enquiry fixed and had fully participated in the enquiry. He was given full, fair and

reasonable opportunity to defend himself in the enquiry. The enquiry was conducted purely following the principles of

natural justice. It is stated that basing on the evidence adduced before the Enquiry Officer, the Enquiry Officer

submitted his report holding the charges levelled against the Petitioner was proved. A copy of the enquiry report and

the enquiry proceeding was sent to the Petitioner by way of show cause notice giving him an opportunity to make

representation against the findings of the enquiry report; since the charge levelled against the Petitioner is proved and

it was serious in nature, punishment warranted was dismissal from service. The Disciplinary Authority has gone

through the enquiry proceeding and his past record and found that there was no extenuating circumstances to take a

lenient view, and lastly, the Respondent was constrained to dismiss the Petitioner from service. It is stated that in fact

the Petitioner was irregular to his duties and he did not improve his attendance even after issuing charge sheet to him,

and after receiving the show cause notice. It is further stated that the punishment imposed on the Petitioner is justified

and legal and as such the claim petition is liable to be dismissed in limini.

4.

In view of the memo filed by the Learned Counsel for the Petitioner admitting the validity of the domestic

enquiry to be legal and valid, the domestic enquiry conducted in the present case is held as legal and valid vide order

dated 19.1.2010.

5.

Both the parties have advanced their arguments under Sec.11(A) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, in

support of their claim.

6.

In view of the above facts, the points for determination are:

I.

Whether the action of the management of M/s. Singareni Collieries Company Ltd., in imposing the

punishment of dismissal from service to Sri J. Narasimha Swamy is legal and justified?

II.

Whether the Petitioner is entitled for reinstatement into service?

III.

If not, to what other relief he is entitled?

7.

Point No.I: During the course of argument, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner

submitted that due to the illness of his Son the Petitioner could not be able to attend his duty sincerely. The

Petitioner’s Son who was aged about 19 years lost movement of most of the parts of his body, such as hands, legs and

also speech and he was bed ridden on account of GB syndrome. It is submitted that, the Petitioner has taken his son to

the company’s hospital, who in turn referred him to Osmania General Hospital, Hyderabad, and even thereafter, as

there was no improvement, the Petitioner took him to various hospitals at Vijayawada, Kakinada. As there was no

other male member in his family, the Petitioner accompanies his son to all the hospitals during the year 2002.

Ultimately, the Petitioner’s son could recover from the illness, to some extent. Even in his show cause the Petitioner

has mentioned the above facts but it has not been considered during the course of the enquiry and on account of

absenteeism capital punishment of dismissal from service was imposed on the Petitioner. When the Petitioner has

taken a stand that due to his Son’s illness, he could not be able to attend his duties regularly and remained absent, the

authority should have considered his case while imposing punishment. The authority has not considered any of the

submissions of the Petitioner, and has given capital punishment to the Petitioner when several modes of punishment

are enumerated in the company’s Standing Orders.

8.

On the other hand, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondents submitted that when the

Petitioner was a chronic absentee and was found guilty in the charges levelled against him, the punishment imposed

by the Respondents’ company is legal and proper. When the Petitioner was not sincere in his duty and failed to

maintain minimum musters in a year he is not entitled to be reinstated in service.

9.

Admittedly, working in the Mines is hazardous and remaining absent is not unusual. In this case, due to the

illness of his son and other family problems, the Petitioner could not be able to be regular in his duty, the Petitioner

has remained absent in his duties and a proceeding was initiated against him for his absenteeism followed by an

enquiry. In the enquiry, the charges levelled against the Petitioner were proved. For this, capital punishment was

imposed. After dismissal of service, the Petitioner has become jobless and unable to provide a square meal to his

family members. He has already realised his mistake and has taken shelter in the court at the age of 53 years, after

three years of dismissal from service, he is now aged about 64 years and has already attained the age of

superannuation, and at this age he is searching ways and means to provide bread and butter to his family members.

Admittedly due to the illness of his son the Petitioner was constrained to remain absent from duty and mentioned the

above facts in his explanation; but the Enquiry Officer did not consider his case sympathetically, and held the Petitioner

guilty of charges. The Disciplinary Authority while imposing punishment has also not considered the plight of the

Petitioner and has imposed capital punishment to him. Admittedly, several modes of punishment are enumerated in

company’s Standing Orders, instead of imposing lenient punishment, capital punishment has been imposed. The

3886

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Petitioner is a first offender and has worked for more than 29 years under the Respondents. While imposing capital

punishment to his employees, the management should think of the condition of the workers as well as his family

members. In this case, the punishment imposed by the Respondents for dismissal of service is too harsh. Therefore, it

can safely be stated that the action taken by the management in imposing the punishment of dismissal from service to

Sri J. Narasimha Swamy is not legal and justified.

Thus, Point No.I is answered accordingly.

10.

Point Nos. II & III: In Point No.I, it has already been discussed that the punishment of dismissal from service

to Sri J. Narasimha Swamy is not legal and justified. After dismissal of service as stated earlier, when the Petitioner

has already realised his mistake and has come to the court with a prayer for his reinstatement into service he should be

given a chance to serve for his family members. After dismissal of service the Petitioner has become jobless and he

being the sole bread earner of his family, is unable to provide a square meal to his family members. In such a

circumstances atleast the Petitioner should be given a chance to maintain his livelihood and to work under the

Respondents’ management. But unfortunately, during pendency of this case the Petitioner has already attained

superannuation. He has not approached this Tribunal soon after his dismissal from service. Therefore, in the opinion

of this Tribunal the Petitioner is not entitled to get all other reliefs as claimed in his claim petition. But he is only

entitled to be re-instated in service to get all his terminal benefits after superannuation without back wages.

Thus, Point Nos. II & III are answered accordingly.

ORDER

Proceeding No. KGM/PER/7/2340 dated 16.8.2003 issued by Respondent No.1 is declared as illegal and is

hereby set aside. It is ordered that the workman Sri J. Narasimha Swamy be reinstated into service to get all his

terminal benefits after superannuation without back wages.

Award is passed accordingly. Transmit.

AWARD

Passed on this 9th day of May, 2017

1.

As per letter dated 14-9-2000 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-

40012/243/2000-IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the action of the management of Chief General Manager, Telecom/ General Manager, Telecom in

terminating the services of Shri Tarachand Kushwah S/o Bhawarlal Kushwah w.e.f. 9-10-93 is justified? If

not, to what relief the workman is entitled?”

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim at Page 2/1

to 2/3. Case of workman is that he was appointed as skilled labour on 1-1-89 after following the required procedure.

His service record was excellent. His services were terminated orally on 9-10-93 without explaining any reasons. That

since his initial appointment till termination of his service, he completed more than 240 days continuous service during

each of the year. 2nd party had not complied provisions under Chapter V of ID Act without terminating his service,

permission from Government was not obtained, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. He was not served

with any chargesheet, any enquiry was not conducted against him. After termination of his service, management of 2nd

party appointed new employees. Those employees are still working in establishment of 2nd party. He filed OA No.

824/93, said OA was disposed off on 24-6-99 observing that workman can raise the dispute before ALC/LC. That

establishment of 2nd party is engaged in work of permanent nature. Always employees are required if completion of

workman claimed that he had been working more than six months as trained employee, he was eligible to be

regularized. 2nd party instead of regularizing his services orally terminated him. His termination is illegal. Workman

prays for his reinstatement with backwages.

3.

2nd party management filed Written Statement at Page 3/1 to 3/3 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party submits

that casual labours are not recruited in the department. Casual labours are engaged for available work. Ist party

workman was not appointed as skilled labour following recruitment procedure. For recruitment in department, there are

rules and regulations. After the employees are appointed training is given. That CAT Jabalpur had rejected petition

filed by workman observing that he was not regular employee. Ist party was not appointed. There is no question of his

termination of service. It is reiterated that workman was not appointed in department. There is no question of

appointing other persons after his termination. Petition filed by workman in CAT Jabalpur was disposed. For regular

appointment, rules of the department are required to be followed. The post should be advertised, interview calls are

required to be issued. Workman was not appointed following such procedure. Workman is misleading court making

false grounds. As workman was not appointed or terminated by management, there is no question he being unemployed

after so called termination. 2nd party prays for rejection of claim of workman.

II

(ii)

3901

4.

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

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

(i) Whether the action of the management of Chief

General Manager, Telecom/ General Manager,

Telecom in terminating the services of Shri

Tarachand Kushwah S/o Bhawarlal Kushwah w.e.f.

9-10-93 is justified?

In Negative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

As per final order.

REASONS

5.

The term of reference pertains to legality of the termination of services of Ist party. Claim is opposed by

management denying his appointment or termination. Ist party workman filed affidavit of his evidence supporting his

contentions in statement of claim. That initially he was engaged as skilled labour(electrician/ helper) on daily rate basis

on 1-1-89. That he was continuously working till 9-10-93. He was working under JTO K.C.Jain, K.K.Jain, A.W.Khan

and one Mr. Tripathi. That his working days were recorded in muster rolls. That he completed 240 days continuous

service preceding termination of his service. That he had continuously working for 29 days in 1989, 212 days in 1990,

266 days in 1991, 336 days in 1992, 280 days in 1993. Services are terminated in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act.

That he was paid Rs.27 per day in 1992. Thereafter he was paid Rs.40 per day. That in his cross examination, workman

says appointment letter in writing was not given to him. His name was not sent through Employment Exchange.

Written test was not taken, he was not interviewed. He was doing work of oiling, cleaning telephone machines, fault

removal. He was not issued order of termination in writing. He was working on muster roll. Muster roll was prepared

by JE. He had not submitted application for supplying copy of muster roll. He denies that copy of muster roll produced

on record is bogus. Workman denied that he had not worked more than 240 days during any of the calendar year. He

denies that he being casual labour was not paid by voucher. Payment was made as per muster. That he had not

submitted application for production of original vouchers. workman denied that the zerox copy of voucher produced

by him are bogus. Workman denied that he was engaged till the work was available. Workman denied after completion

of project, he was disengaged. Workman was re-examined. Documents Exhibit W-1 to 3 were admitted in evidence.

Again workman was re-examined ad documents W-5,6 were admitted in evidence. Ist party workman in his further

cross examination says that curfew was imposed in December 1992. The curfew pass was issued by Telephone office.

Other department did not issue curfew pass. Exhibit W-1 bears signature of Assistant Engineer, Telephone and not of

other officers. He not submitted application for issuing of Exhibit W-1. He denied that list of employees Exhibit W-3

was prepared by him and produced in the case. He denied that document Exhibit W-1 is false. In his further cross, Ist

party workman says he not submitted application for documents Exhibit W-5,6. He not submitted application under

RTI Act. He received documents Exhibit W-5,6 in 1993, 94. He was unable to explain why he didn’t submit those

documents along with his affidavit of evidence. In 1993, he received duty chart from A.M.Khan, P.N.Singh and

A.K.Jain. that he not produced Exhibit W-5,6 along with his affidavit. Those documents are not bearing name and seal

of BSNL. The witness explained that BSNL was not in existence during said period. Exhibit W-5 , 6 were bearing

signatures of officers. Workman denied that he has fabricated Exhibit W-5,6 and produced in the case.

6.

Management filed affidavit of evidence of Shri P.N.Singh supporting contentions of 2nd party in Written

Statement. That Ist party workman was engaged as casual labour. He was not given appointment letter. Workman was

not appointed by the department. His engagement was as casual labour. The old exchange required labours. The old

exchange was closed and electronic exchange did not require labours. That workman himself stopped working from

October 93. Work carried by workman was of casual nature, any post was not lying vacant there was no need to obtain

permission from Government for termination of his service as casual labours were engaged as per need of work.

Management’s witness in his cross says he doesnot know workman personally. He has no knowledge during what

period the workman was working in the exchange. As per record, he has stated in his affidavit workman not completed

240 days continuous working during any of the year. That he left work in October 1993. Workman was not served with

notice as he was engaged as casual labor. Management’s witness claims ignorance under whom workman was

working. He also claims ignorance about representations submitted by workman after termination of his service. He

denies that he has no knowledge of the case. That as per record, he has stated that workman was working in the

department was told about it by Shri K.C.Jain. Evidence of management’s witness is clear that the workman was

engaged as casual labour but he was not appointed as regular employee. Evidence of workman that he was working

from 1-1-89 to 9-10-93 is corroborated by documents. Exhibit W-1 curfew pass issued in December 1992, W-2 is order

issued by Assistant Engineer for entry during curfew period dated 7-10-93. List of employee Exhibit W-3 name of Ist

party workman is appearing at Sl.No.75 shown as casual labour. Documents Exhibit W-5,6 is copy of muster roll and

3902

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

W-6 is copy of attendance sheet. In Exhibit W-5, name of workman is appearing at Sl.No.5. Said document is for the

period December 89 to December 93. Attendance of workman has been recorded though suggestions are given that W-

5 doesnot bear seal and signature of the officer. Careful perusal of Exhibit W-5 shows seal and signature of JTO on

several pages. Exhibit W-6 is copy of duty allotment register. Name of workman is found in some pages. Evidence of

workman is corroborated by documentary evidence. On the other hand, evidence of management’s witness is snot

supported by any documents. Management’s witness got knowledge about working of workman from Shri K.C.Jain

and others. His evidence is of hear say nature and cannot be preferred to the evidence of workman corroborated by

documents.

7.

Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri R.S.Khare relies on ratio held in case between-

Batala Coop.Sugar Mills Ltd versus Sowaran Singh reported in 2005(8)SCC-481. Their Lordship dealing with

Section 25-F, 25 B of ID Act and requirement of 240 days continuous service burden of proof lies on workman. It is

for workman to adduce evidence apart from examining himself or filing an affidavit to prove the said factum.

From evidence discussed above, Ist party workman has discharged the burden and his evidence is sufficient to

hold that he was cosntinuously working more than 240 days preceding termination of his service. As per evidence of

management’s witness, he claims ignorance whether workman was not paid retrenchment compensation. Termination

notice was not issued as workman was engaged as casual labour. When workman has completed more than 240 days

termination of his service without notice or paying retrenchment compensation is in violation of Section 25-F,B of ID

Act and as such illegal. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.

8.

Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 termination of workman is illegal, question remains for

consideration is whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages. On the point learned counsel for Ist

party Shri R.K.Soni relies on ratio held in case between-

Tapash Kumar Paul versus BSNL and another. In above judgment, their Lordship observed in the very nature of

things there cannot be straitjacket formula for awarding relief of backwages. All relevant considerations will enter the

verdict. More or less it would be a motion addressed to the discretion of the tribunal. Full backwages would be the

normal rule and the party objecting to it must establish the circumstances necessitating departure. Their Lordship

further observed plain common sense dictates that the removal of an order terminating the services of workmen must

ordinarily lead to the reinstatement of the services of the workman. It is as if the order has never been and so it must

ordinarily lead to backwages too. For instance, the industry might have closed down or might be in severe financial

doldrums, the workmen concerned might have secured better or other employment elsewhere and so on.

Copy of judgment in Writ Petition 20237/14 is also brought to my notice. His Lordship following ratio held in

case of Gundu Surwase Vrs Kranti Junior Adhyapad Mahavidyalaya reported in 2013(10)SCC-324, Tapash Kumar

Paul versus BSNL that is discussed supra 2014(4)SCR-875 granted reinstatement without backwages.

9.

Learned counsel for 2nd party management Shri R.S.Khare relies on ratio held in case between-

Assistant Engineer, Rajasthan Development Corporation and another versus Gitam Singh reported in

2013(2)SCC(L&S)-369. Their Lordship dealing with wrongful termination in violation of Section 25-F of daily rated

worker working for short period of 240 days only modified order of reinstatement with 25 % backwages to

compensation of Rs.50,000/- said judgment is not overruled in Tapash Kumar case.

Shri R.S.Khare also relies on ratio held in Umadevi’s case reported in 2006(4)SCC-1. Their Lordship dealing

with casual labour, temporary employees held such employee donot have any right to regular or permanent public

employment. Temporary contractual casual adhoc or daily wage public employment must be deemed to be accepted by

the employee concerned fully knowing the nature of it and the consequences flowing from it.

I may mention that violation of Section 25-F of ID Act is not dealt in judgment in Umadevi’s case.

Shri R.S.Khare relied on ratio held in case between MP State Agro Industries Limited and another versus

S.C.Pandey reported in 2006(2)SCC-716. Their Lordship held daily wager doesnot hold a post. He is not appointed in

terms of provisions of act. Their Lordship further held only because a temporary employee completes said period of

service, that by itself would not confer any legal right upon him to be regularized in service.

Similar view has been taken in case between Himanshu Kumar Vidyarthi versus State of Bihar reported in 1997-

LAB.I.C.2075.

10.

The evidence of Ist party is clear that he was not appointed following recruitment process, post was not

advertised, he was not called for interview, appointment letter was not given to him. Evidence on record shows

workman was working from 1-1-89 till termination of his service in October 1993 for about more than 4 years.

II

(ii)

3903

Considering nature of his engagement and period of his working, compensation Rs.One Lakh would be appropriate.

Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2.

11.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The action of the management of Chief General Manager, Telecom/ General Manager, Telecom in

terminating the services of Shri Tarachand Kushwah S/o Bhawarlal Kushwah w.e.f. 9-10-93 is illegal.

(2)

2nd party management is directed to pay compensation Rs.One Lakh to the workman.

Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In

case of default, amount shall carry 9% interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

12.

Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per rules.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

AWARD

Passed on this 24th day of April, 2017

1.

As per letter dated 26-4-13 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-

42012/4/2013-IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the action of the management of National Seeds Corporation Ltd. Raipur in terminating the

services of Shri C.R.Chakravarty w.e.f. March 2012 is legal and justified? What relief the workman is

entitled to?”

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim.

Case of workman is that he was appointed as clerk on daily wages on 2-6-05 by 2nd party Area Manager National

Seeds Corporation. He continuously worked till 30-3-12. He was not given appointment letter by 2nd party No.2. His

attendance was marked in the attendance sheet after making payment of wages. His signatures were obtained in

attendance sheet. Without assigning any reasons, his services were terminated by 2nd party no.2 from 1-4-12. Workman

reiterates he was continuously working as clerk from 2-6-05 to 30-3-12. Enquiry was not conducted against him.

Chrgesheet or showcause notice were not issued to him. He worked more than 240 days every year. He was terminated

without notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. His termination amounts to illegal retrenchment

without complying Section 25-F of ID Act. On such ground, workman prays for his reinstatement with backwages.

3.

2nd party filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. 2nd party submits Ist party was engaged in duty

as casual worker as per necessity of work since 2005. He was paid Rs.50 per day. 2nd party institute is established as per

notification dated 6-3-82. Said notification incorporates recruitment rules of daily wage Class IV employees. The

appointment of class IV employees was to be made by Chief Administrative Officer, Account Officer, Asstt. Manager.

The age of such employee should not be more than 25 years. The pay scale was settled Rs.3900-70-5300. IDA

Rs.2550-55-2660-3200. The conditions were required to be strictly followed. There was no possibility of such

conditions. That Shri Wani, Area Manager was appointed in 2005. He written letter dated 28-10-05. It was clearly

instructed that appointment of daily rated employees shall not be accepted even on request of concerned employees.

That Ist party was engaged on duty as casual labour as per requirement time to time. He was paid Rs.50 per day. There

was no publication for the appointment as per notification, the limit was below 25 years. Ist party workman was

engaged when he was of 37 years age. The pay scale noted above was for Class IV employees. Ist party was made

labour payment on daily basis. Workman had not raised any demand as he was aware of above status. It is reiterated

that Ist party was engaged as casual labour and not engaged in muster roll. He was not paid TA DA. 2nd party had

written letter dated 29-6-06 to Bhopal Office as per communication dated 3-8-06. Bhopal office refused to give Ta Da

to workman as he was daily rated employee. Ist party being casual worker no question arose w.r.t. claim of Ist party

workman. Ist party workman cannot be treated as superannuated/ retired. He is not entitled to any compensation. No

appointment letter was issued to Ist party. He was paid Rs.50 per day. As services of Ist party were not required, his

services were dispensed. Ist party cannot compare with regular class IV employee as he was never appointed to the post

of clerk. Ist party has not produced documents. As Ist party was purely engaged as casual labour, showcause notice for

terminating his services was not required. There was no question of holding DE. Workman has not produced

documents about his working 240 days. Provisions of Section 25-F ID Act are not attracted. 2nd party submits that

claim of Ist party deserves to be dismissed.

4.

Ist party filed rejoinder on 24-10-14 Ist party submits that he was engaged as daily wage employee. After

payment of wages, his signatures were obtained in vouchers. 2nd party itself handed over copies of vouchers to him. 2nd

party No.2 was looking affairs of the whole area office, Raipur. That Area Manager is administrative post.

5.

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

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

(i) Whether the action of the management of

National

Seeds

Corporation

Ltd.

Raipur

in

terminating the services of Shri C.R.Chakravarty

w.e.f. March 2012 is legal and justified?

In Negative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

As per final order.

II

(ii)

3905

REASONS

6.

Point No.1- Term of reference pertains to legality of termination of services of Ist party. Ist party workman filed

affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit of evidence, he stated that he was appointed on post of clerk on 2-6-05. He

was continuously working except Sunday till 30-6-12, appointment letter was not given to him. His attendance was

recorded on the sheet of attendance. His services were terminated orally on 1-4-12. He worked more than 240 days

during each of the year. He was not served with notice of termination, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him.

After termination of his service, he is unemployed. In his cross-examination, Ist party workman says he has not

produced documents about his educational qualifications. He passed 10th standard. He has not passed typing exam.

Before his appointment, no written test was taken. He was engaged as seasonal labour. Appointment letter was given to

him. He was paid wages for his working days. He was doing work of supplying drinking water and other office work.

He had not submitted application for his appointment. Orally he was directed not to come for work after March 2012.

7.

Management filed identical affidavit of evidence of Shri Shankar Ram and Rajesh Mawar. Shankar Ram in his

affidavit of evidence says he is working in Regional Office, National Seed Corporation, Bhopal from 1984. In 1993, he

was transferred to Lucknow where he was working till 2013. That workman Shri C.R.Chakravorty was engaged as

casual labour at RP Office, he was paid Rs.50 per day. Ist party had not worked for 240 days during any calendar year.

Pay scale of Class _IV employee is Rs.3900-70-5300. Workman was paid Rs.50 per day. Record w.r.t. casual employee

is not maintained. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he did not see Ist party working in RP office.

He got knowledge about case from available record. Any documents w.r.t. working of Ist party is not produced. Ist

party was not served with notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. When regular employee was absent,

Ist party was engaged on wages. Rajesh in his affidavit of evidence has stated that Ist party was engaged as casual

labour, he was supplying drinking water, tea and doing cleaning, sweeping work in the office. Ist party was paid Rs.50

per day. He had not completed 240 days continuous service during any calendar year. Management’s witness No.2 in

his cross says at RP office, casual workers were engaged for convenience of officers and cultivators. Regional office

has 4 units, the employee referred in his affidavit is covered in Class IV category. The clerk is covered in class III

category. He had not seen working of Ist party workman. Workman was not served with notice, retrenchment

compensation was not paid to him.

8.

Management has produced documents Exhibit M-1 which is admitted by Ist party. Exhibit M-1 consist of 218

pages. Considering services of Ist party were terminated from 1-4-12, period of 12 calendar months preceding his

termination comes 1-4-11. The attendance of workman during said period is produced at Page 196 to 218. Attendance

sheet is maintained for 15 days period. The attendance of Ist party is marked 13 days in each of the payment sheets.

Document Exhibit M-1 page 196 to 218 established that workman worked more than 240 days preceding termination

of his service. As per evidence of management’s witness in cross examination, termination notice was not issued to

workman. He was not paid retrenchment compensation therefore termination of services of workman is in violation of

Section 25-F (1)(a)(b) of ID Act. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.

9.

Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 termination is illegal for violation of Section 25-F of ID Act,

question remains for consideration whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages. The evidence of Ist

party is clear that he was not working as clerk rather he was working as casual labour. His services are terminated in

violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Learned counsel for Ist party Shri S.Mishra submits that workman was in

continuous service for 7 years. His services are illegally terminated. Claim of workman for reinstatement with

backwages may be allowed.

10.

In support of his argument, learned counsel relies on ratio held in

Case between Sunil Kumar Kushwaha versus Deputy Narcotics Commissioner in Writ Petition No.22063/15. In

said judgment, their Lordship following ratio held in Hindustan Tin Works versus employees in 1979(2)SCC-80. Ratio

held in Deepali Gundu Surwase versus Kranti Junior Adhyapak Mahavidyalaya 2013(10)SCC-324. Ratio held in case

between Tapash Kumar Paul versus BSNL 2014(4)SCR-875 allowed reinstatement with back wages modified the

award for compensation of Rs.75,000 to reinstatement with backwages. I find no reason to disagree with ratio held in

above referred cases.

Considering the Ist party workman continuously worked as casual labour for 7 years, his services are

terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him, relief for reinstatement with backwages is

just to be allowed. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2.

11.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The action of management is illegal. Termination of workman is set aside.

(2)

2nd party is directed to reinstate workman on post of labour with full backwages @ Rs.50 per day.

3906

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In

case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

12.

Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per rules.

AWARD

Passed on this 19th day of May, 2017

1.

As per letter dated 30-6-00 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-

40012/119/2000-IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the action of the management of Chief General Manager, Telecom in terminating the services of

Shri Shobaram Vishwakasrma S/o Nanhelal Vishwakarma w.e.f.April 95 is justified? If not, to what relief

the workman is entitled for?”

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim at Page 2/1

to 2/4. Case of workman is that he was initially appointed in February 1985 in Telecom Department as casual labour in

different Telecom Exchange under control of SDO, Biaora, Distt. Rajgarh. That his service record was unblemished.

II

(ii)

3907

That he continuously worked from 1985 to April 1995. He continuously worked more than 240 days during each

calendar year. He was entitled to be regularized in the department. That his services were dispensed in April 1995

without following statutory provisions. He was discriminated by denying regularization while terminating his services

violating principles of natural justice. Ist party further contends that act of management about unfair labour practice and

victimization that termination of his service is in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. He was not served with notice,

any enquiry was not conducted against him. On such ground, workman prays for his reinstatement with backwages.

3.

2nd party filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. 2nd party submits that workman was initially

engaged in the year 1991. He worked for 92 days in 1991, 30 days in 1992, 5 days in 1993, 64 days in 1994, 5 days in

1995, workman never completed 240 days continuous service in a calendar year. Appointment of workman was not

against vacant post. He is not regular employee of the management. 2nd party prays that reference be answered in its

favour.

4.

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

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

(i) Whether the action of the management of Chief

General Manager, Telecom in terminating the

services of Shri Shobaram Vishwakasrma S/o

Nanhelal Vishwakarma w.e.f.April 95 is justified?

In Negative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

As per final order.

REASONS

5.

Point No.1- The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of services of workman. Workman filed

affidavit of his evidence. He stated that he was appointed in February 1995 in the department. His services were orally

terminated. He was not served with notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. Enquiry was not conducted

against him. In his cross-examination, workman says appointment letter was received by him. He claims ignorance

whether appointment letter is produced in the case. That he was orally interviewed. He had worked at Narsingarh from

1989 to 1990, Bevra from 1990 to 1995 & Kareli from 1985 to 1987. He denies suggestion that he had worked for 92

days in 1991, 30 days in 1992, 5 days in 1993, 64 days in 1995. Suggestion is denied by workman that he not

completed 240 days continuous service.

6.

2nd party field affidavit of evidence of Shri Shailendra, however said witness not appeared for evidence. His

evidence could not be considered.

7.

Learned counsel for workman Shri Arun Patel pointed my attention that application for production of document

was submitted by Ist party on 7-7-05, 24-10-13. The order was passed for production of document by management on

26-2-14, management had not produced documents as per the order. Shri Arun Patel submits that adverse inference be

drawn against management. In support of above argument, reliance is placed in case between

Gouri Shanker versus State of Rajasthan reported in 2016(1)SCC(L&S) 546. Their Lordship dealing with

withholding of documents held adverse inference on effect of non-production of muster rolls by the employer tried to

be drawn against employer.

Despite order passed for production of document, the documents are produced. Evidence of workman deserve to

be believed that he worked more than 240 days during each of the year 1985 to 1995. Evidence of workman is clear

that his services were orally terminated, notice was not issued, any enquiry was not conducted. Considering the

evidence of workman, it is established that services of workman are terminated in violation of Section 25-F(a,b).

8.

Shri Arun Patel relies on ratio held in case between

Director, Fisheries Terminal Division versus Bhikubhai Meghajibhai Chavda reported in AIR-2010-SC-1236.

Their Lordship dealing with continuous service of 240 days held burden of proof shift to employer to prove that he did

not complete 240 days service in requisite period to constitute continuous service.

Considering the evidence and ratio held in above case, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.

9.

In view of my finding in Point No.1 that workman is terminated in violation of Section 25-F(a,b) of ID act as

such illegal, question remains for consideration is whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages.

Evidence of workman shows that he had worked from February 1985 to April 1995. That after termination of his

service, he was unemployed.

3908

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

10.

Learned counsel for Ist party relies on ratio held in case between

Hindustan Tin Works Private Limited versus employees of Hindustan Tin Works Private Ltd. In para-6 of the

judgment, their Lordship discussed if the normal rule in a case like this is to award full back wages, the burden will be

on the appellant employer to establish circumstances which would permit a departure from the normal rule. To

substantiate the contention that this is an exceptional case for departing from the normal rule, it was stated that loss is

mounting up and if the appellant is called upon to pay full back wages in the aggregate amount of Rs.1,80,000 it would

shake the financial viability of the company. In said case, award was modified to the effect that the retrenched

workmen who are reinstated shall be paid 75 % backwages.

Reliance is also placed on ratio held in case between Ajay Pal Singh versus Haryana Warehousing Corporation

reported in 2015(6)SCC-321. Their Lordship dealing with Section 25-F of ID Act and its non-compliance held on facts

order of retrenchment in violation of Section 25-F being invalid, relief of reinstatement with full backwages awarded

by Labour Court deserves to be restored.

In case between Tapash Kumar Paul versus BSNL reported in 2014(4)SCR-875, their Lordship also considered

ratio held in Deepali Gundu case and laid dowon conditions when reinstatement by awarding compensation can be

granted- (i) where industry is closed, (ii) where the employee has superannuated or going to retire shortly and no period

of service is left to his credit, (iii) where the workman has been rendered incapacitated to discharge the duties and

cannot be reinstated and/ or (iv) when he has lost confidence of the management to discharge duties.

In case of Deepali Gundu Surwase versus Kranti Junior Adhyapak Mahavidyalaya and others reported in

2013(10)SCC-324. Their Lordship held reinstatement entitle such employee to claim full backwages, denial of

backwages would amount to indirectly punishing the employee and rewarding the employer by relieving him of the

obligation to pay backwages. Where employer wants to deny backwages or contest the employee’s entitlement to get

consequential benefits, employer has to plead and prove that employee was gainfully employed during the intervening

period.

11.

Management has not adduced any evidence. Workman in his evidence has claimed he is unemployed after

termination of his service. His affidavit is not explaining how he is surviving all those years since 1995. Under such

circumstances, workman deserves to be reinstated with 25 % back wages. Accordingly I record my finding in Point

No.2.

12.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The action of the management of Chief General Manager, Telecom in terminating the services of Shri

Shobaram Vishwakasrma S/o Nanhelal Vishwakarma w.e.f.April 95 is not legal and proper.

(2)

2nd party is directed to reinstate workman to his original post with 25 % backwages.

Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In

case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

13.

Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per rules.

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-

40012/35/2010-IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the action of the management of Divisional Engineer, Telecom, OFC Project, Part-I, Telecom

Factory, Jabalpur in terminating the services of Shri Deepak Kumar S/o Shri Narbadlal w.e.f. 22-5-2000 is legal

and justified? What relief the workman is entitled to?”

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim.

Case of workman is that he was working in department from 10-1-87 to 22-5-00. He was continuously working to the

satisfaction of his superiors. He worked more than 240 days during each of the calendar year from 87 till his

termination. His services were orally terminated without following law. Because of his continuous working from 1987

to 22-5-00, he was entitled for temporary status and regular service. His services were not regularized neither he was

given temporary status. Oral termination of his service is illegal. Ist party workman further submits that he worked on

post of sweeper cleaning office and laboratory against vacant post. He worked more than 240 days during each of the

calendar year. Management adopted pick and chose method and terminated his services. Junior workers are still

working in the department, he was not paid one month salary in lieu of notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid

to him. Termination of his service is violative of Article 21 of the constitution. After termination of his service, he is

suffering irreparable loss. On such ground, workman prays for his reinstatement/ compensation.

appointed on post of sweeper. Letter of appointment was not given to him. There was no question of giving temporary

status or regularization of services of workman. In application submitted under Section 10 by workman, he had

contented termination by Divisional Engineer OFC Jabalpur is not impleaded as party to dispute under reference. 2nd

party submits that as workman was not appointed or terminated by it, there was no question of workman suffering

hardship.

As per final order.

3910

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

REASONS

6.

Ist party workman filed affidavit of his evidence claiming that he was continuously working from 1987 to 2000.

He worked more than 240 days in each of the calendar year. In 1987, he was appointed on post of sweeper by

M.C.Garhawal. his services were transferred to Good Luck Apartment, Gwarighat, Telecom Factory, Ranital, Gate

No.4. that his services were terminated without notice. He was not paid retrenchment compensation. He worked for 13-

14 years before termination of his service. In his cross, workman says appointment letter was not received by him, his

name was not sponsored through Employment Exchange. He not appeared in departmental exam. One Ram Prasad

was working as peon in office of 2nd party. Ram Prasad told him that work was available in office of 2nd party thereafter

he met Officer Garhawal in office at Civil Lines. He was not acquainted with Mr. Garhawal. He was doing cleaning,

sweeping work in morning one hour and evening. He denies that documents Exhibit W-1 to 4 are forged and fabricated.

He admits that certificate issued by department bears outward number. Workman was unable to tell his working days in

particular year. He denies that he not worked for more than 240 days during any of the year.

7.

Management filed affidavit of witness Shri A.K.Shukla. Management’s witness in his affidavit of evidence says

workman was not appointed by the department. Appointment letter was not given to him. Workman did not work in the

department, any post is not vacant in the department. Workman not work for more than 240 days during any of the

year. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says he is posted in Jabalpur office in September 2014. He

denies that he didnot worked during 1988 to 2000. In his further cross, witness says Shri Garhawal and Nath were

working as officer at Jabalpur but he is unable to identify their signatures. Management witness denied that workman

worked more than 240 days. The record is preserved for 5 years, rules are not produced. Record of distribution of

document is not produced. Form evidence of workman, documents Exhibit W-1 to 6 are admitted in evidence. In

Exhibit W-1, it is certified by Sub-Divisional Engineer that workman was engaged as part time sweeper since last one

year. Said certificate was issued on 30-12-95. Period of one year comes to 30-12-94. Exhibit W-4 is receipt about

payment of contribution of Union for March 95 to March 96. In Certificate Exhibit W-2, it is certified that workman

was working last 2 years. He was engaged as part time sweeper for cleaning work. Exhibit W-6 is application for leave

submitted by workman on 6-5-96. In certificate W-3, the Sub-Divisional Engineer has certified that workman was

working during the period 1987 to March 90- maximum one hour in a day. Documents Exhibit W-1 to 3 clearly shows

that workman was engaged as part time sweeper during the year 87 to 90 & 93,94, 95. The notice to produce

documents was filed by the Ist party. Ist party was allowed to adduce secondary evidence. Management has not

produced documents about working days of workman.

8.

Learned counsel for Ist party Shri R.K.Soni on the point relies on ratio held in case between

Director, Fisheries Terminal Department versus Bhikubhai Meghajibhai Chavda reported in 2010(2)MPLJ-30.

Their Lordship dealing with workman hired on daily on a daily wage basis deposed that he had worked for 240 days

during the period between 1985 to 1991, their Lordship held burden of proof shifts to the employer to prove that he did

not complete 240 days service in the requisite period to constitute continuous service.

2nd party has not produced documents about working days of workman. Burden is not discharged by workman

that workman had not completed 240 days continuous service. Evidence of Ist party is corroborated by document

Exhibit W-1 to 3. In my considered view, when workman had established he was continuously working for more than

240 days preceding termination of his services, the oral termination of services of workman without paying

retrenchment compensation, one months pay in lieu of notice is illegal for violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. For

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

9.

Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 termination of services of workman is illegal, question remains

for consideration is whether workman is entitled for reinstatement with backwages as per document Exhibit W-1 & 3.

Ist party workman was engaged for one hour in a day for cleaning work. Evidence in cross-examination of Ist party

shows he had not received appointment letter. His name was not sponsored by Employment Exchange, workman not

appeared for Written test.

10.

Learned counsel for Ist party Shri R.K.Soni relies on ratio held in judgment in

Writ Petition No. 14719/2016. Hon’ble High Court Jabalpur bench upheld the order of reinstatement with

backwages upholding termination in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act. Reliance is placed on ratio held in case

between Tapash Kumar Paul versus BSNL. In above cited judgments, Apex Court held it is no doubt true that court

may pass an order substituting order of reinstatement by awarding compensation but the same has to be based on

justifiable grounds i.e. (i) where the industry is closed, (ii) where the employee has superannuated or going to retire

shortly and no period of service is left to his credit, (iii) where the workman has been rendered incapacitated to

discharge the duties and cannot be reinstated and (iv) when he has lost confidence of the management to discharge

duties.

II

(ii)

3911

Any such ground are not made out from evidence of management. However the evidence on record is clear that

workman was engaged for one hour for cleaning work.

11.

Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri R.S.Khare relies on ratio held in case between

Assistant Engineer, Rajasthan Development Corporation and another versus Gitam Singh reported in

2013(2)SCC(L&S)-369. Their Lordship dealing with termination in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act dealing

whether relief of reinstatement or compensation to be allowed. Their Lordship need distinction should be drawn

between daily rated worker and worker holding regular post. Services of daily wager respondent who worked for short

period of 240 days only terminated by appellant employer in 1991 in contravention of Section 25-F. directions for

reinstatement with continuity of service and backwages was found exercised of judicial discretion suffers from serious

infirmity, compensation Rs.50,000 was allowed.

Reliance is also placed in case between Secretary, State of Karnataka and others versus Umadevi and others

reported in 2006(4)SCC-1. Their Lordship dealing with service law w.r.t. casual temporary employee status and right

held such employee donot have any right to regular or permanent public employment. Further temporary contractual,

casual, adhoc or daily wage public employment must be deemed to be accepted by the employee concerned fully

knowing the nature of it and consequences flowing from it. That issuance of directions amount to creating another

mode of public appointment which is not permissible.

I may make clear that termination of workman is not covered in above cited judgment. Therefore ratio cannot

be applied to present case at hand.

Next reliance is placed in case between MP State Agro Industries Development Corporation Ltd and another

versus S.C.Pandey reported in 2006(2)SCC-716. Their Lordship held daily wager doesnot hold a post as he is not

appointed in terms of the provisions of the Act and rules framed thereunder and therefore he doesnot derive any legal

right. Their Lordship dealing with termination in violation of Section 25-F of ID Act directed to pay compensation

Rs.40,000.

In present case, evidence on record shows workman was engaged for cleaning work one hour in a day as

temporary employee. Temporary employee is covered under Section 25-F of ID Act. However considering period and

time of working, in my considered view, compensation Rs.40,000 would be adequate to meet the ends of justice.

Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2.

12.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The action of the management of Divisional Engineer, Telecom, OFC Project, Part-I, Telecom Factory,

Jabalpur in terminating the services of Shri Deepak Kumar S/o Shri Narbadlal w.e.f. 22-5-2000 is not

legal and proper.

(2)

2nd party is directed to pay compensation Rs.40,000 to the workman.

Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In

case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

13.

Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per rules.

AWARD

Passed on this 21st day of April, 2017

1.

As per letter dated 6-6-2003 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-

42012/25/2000-IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the action of the management of General Manager, Govt. Opium and alkaloid Works in

terminating the services of Shri Abdul Hameed, S/o shri Munna Choudhary w.e.f. 10-7-92 is justified? If

not, to what relief the workman is entitled for?”

2.

In present case, award was passed on 22-1-14. Workman filed M/1/14 for modification of the order of the

ground that statement of claim pertaining to employee Abdul Hameed S/o Abdul Aziz was inadvertently submitted.

Miscellaneous application was allowed and workman was permitted to submit statement of claim pertaining to

workman Abdul Hameed, S/o Shri Munna Choudhary. In above circumstances, I narrate pleadings between parties.

3.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party Shri Abdul Hameed, S/o Abdul Aziz has

filed statement of claim at Pages 2/1 to 2/5. The reference relates to termination of services of Shri Abdul Hameed, S/o

shri Munna Choudhary whereas statement of claim is filed on behalf of Shri Abdul Hameed, S/o Abdul Aziz. Thus the

inherent irregularity is committed in filing the statement of claim. Ist party workman has pleaded that he was initially

appointed as casual worker. His services were terminated from 6-2-93 without supplying order of termination. That he

was continuously working more than 240 days in each of the calendar year. That Ist party submits that there were

permanent post available in establishment of IInd party. Other colleagues were deliberately not classified with motive

to deprive. The workman was classified as part time/ temporary employee. That junior employees were continued in

service. Workman was not given notice of termination. Notice pay was not paid to him. Termination of his services was

in violation of Section 25-F of I.D.Act. More than 100 employees working in establishment of IInd party.

Establishment is covered under Chapter V-B of the I.D.Act. The services of the Ist party workman are terminated

without obtaining permission of Government under section 25 of I.D.Act. Establishment of IInd party is not seasonal.

The termination of services of workman is illegal for violation of Section 25-F, G, N of I.D.Act. On such ground, he

prays for reinstatement with consequential benefits.

4.

IInd party filed Written Statement at Pages 7/1 to 7/2. IInd party submits that the workman was engaged as

daily wager. He has rendered 240 days continuous service as per his pleadings. Workman has also prayed for

reinstatement. IInd party management submits that for work involved in the production of opium, management is

required to engage services of casual labour for short and specified period. That casual labours are never employed and

their services have been obtained entirely on necessity and availability of work. Workman never rendered services for

more than 240 days in a year. That section 25-F of I.D.Act is not necessary for removal of services. That in the case of

Casual Labour, his services commences in the morning of the day he reports to the assigned work, it automatically

comes to end at the end of the day. The services of workman were taken on need basis. He was not on permanent

nature of work, recruitment rules were not followed. IInd party prays for rejection of the claim.

II

(ii)

3913

5.

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

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

(i) Whether the action of the management of

General Manager, Govt. Opium and alkaloid Works

in terminating the services of Shri Abdul Hameed,

S/o shri Munna Choudhary w.e.f. 10-7-92 is

justified?

In Negative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

As per final order

REASONS

6.

Point No.1- workman filed affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit, workman has stated that he was

continuously working with 2nd party from 1979. His name was sponsored through Employment Exchange. He was

appointed by 2nd party. He was continuously working from 1979 to 1992 as casual labour. He completed more than 240

days continuous service. He submitted application for reinstatement in service. Since 1992, he is unemployed. That he

was getting pay Rs.750+DA. That management had issued circular allowing benefit of regular employee. He was not

given benefit of said circular. His affidavit is further devoted to that Mohd Rafiq Nasurrudin had worked for 113 days

was regularized in service. Said Mohd had not completed 240 days continuous service. One Rafiq S/o Abdul had

worked for 259 days and 243 days was permanent. That Hayad Khan had worked only for 96 days was made

permanent. He was not given benefit of permanency despite working for 13 years. In his cross-examination, workman

says his affidavit was prepared by his Advocate about his case. He was engaged as labour. Post was not advertised.

That call was received from Employment Exchange. That he produced circular about his appointment. He was engaged

as per need. That he not completed 240 days continuous service during any of the year. Evidence of Ist party workman

that junior employees Mohd. Rafiq S/o Razak were regularized. Their working days were less than 240 days. In the

year 1993, 32 junior employees were given benefit of permanency remained unchallenged. Documents produced by

workman Exhibit W-1 shows 55 working days during the period 18-2-91 to 30-6-91. Exhibit W-1(a) 178 page during

1-2-84 to 27-07-84- 91 days during 28-8-85 to 15-2-86, 156 days during period 2-2-86 to 15-7-86. Exhibit W-1(b) 33

days during the period 22-10-86 to 30-11-86, W-1€ 94 days during 17-3-87 to 30-6-87, 70 days during 15-3-88 to 14-

6-88, Exhibit W-1(g) shows 74 days during 15-4-90 to 19-6-90, 35 days during 18-5-92 to 10-7-92. Exhibit W-2

circular sows working period 29-10-81 to 21-6-82, W-1(a) working period 5-9-82 to 3-12-82, W-2(b) working period

2-2-83 to 30-6-83, Exhibit W-3 is copy of standing order clause 2(iii) provides for regularization of casual labour

against the vacancies to be given as per seniority. As per Exhibit W-5, 32 employees were regularized. Workman was

not included for regularization. Evidence on record shows workman was engaged as casual employee. Evidence on

record shows that workman has not completed 240 days service during any of the year. However he was working as

casual employee for years together, junior employees were regularized as per the provisions of standing order workman

was discriminated, junior employees who were regularized in service were retained in service. Workman was

terminated from service. Principles of last come first go was not followed therefore termination of services of workman

is illegal. For above reasons, I record my finding in point No.1 in Negative.

7.

Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 termination of services of workman is illegal, as principles of

last come first go was not followed, workman was intermittently working with 2nd party. While regularizing services of

casual employees, workman was illegally discriminated. 2nd party management had not obtained permission for

termination of services of workman. Termination is in violation of Section 25-G,N of ID Act. Considering period of

working of workman and other junior employees have been regularized, reinstatement of workman with 50 %

backwages from date of order of reference would be appropriate. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2

8.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

Action of the management of General Manager, Govt. Opium and alkaloid Works in terminating the

services of Shri Abdul Hameed, S/o shri Munna Choudhary w.e.f. 10-7-92 is not legal and proper.

(2)

2nd party management is directed to reinstate workman with continuity of service with 50 % backwages

from date of order of reference.

Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In

case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

9.

Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per rules.

justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled to?”

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Workman submitted statement of claim at Pages 3/1

to 3/8. Case of workman is that he was employed by 2nd party during 1981 to 1985. He was terminated without any

reasons in 1997. In 1989, scheme known as casual labour grant of temporary status and regularization scheme was

introduced in Telegraph department. That as per said scheme, he was not considered for regularization instead his

services were terminated. That he was engaged as casual labour in Sub-Divisional Office Rajgarh from 1980 to 1985.

Thereafter he was engaged for short period under Sub-Divisional Officer, District Jashpur, presently Chhattisgarh. He

completed more than 240 days continuous service. That 2 Sub-Divisions Raigarh and Pathalgaon belong to Raigarh

Division. New district Jashpur was created in 1997. 2 Sub-Divisions were part of same Revenue District Jashpur

created in 1997. 2 Sub-Divisional Offices Raigarh and Pathalgaon was under the jurisdiction of Rajgarh Division. That

by SDO Telegraph, Raigarh. Casual labours were continued on work after above said period but record is not

was maintained by the officer of Telecom department. Working of installation and maintaining of telephone line is

regular work. Labours were permanently required. That in 1997, 2nd party without giving any reasons reduced his

wages from Rs.400 per month to Rs.300 per month. Casual labour grant of temporary status and regularization scheme

989 was introduced. Casual labour who worked more than 240 days in any year prior to 1989 were given benefit of

temporary status and regularization. Though Ist party workman worked more than 240 days during 1982-83 and

continued to work during 95 to 97 at Rajgarh and Pathalgaon, his services were terminated in 1997. That after

termination of his service, 2nd party turned deaf hears on his request/ representations. He had raised dispute before

ALC, Bilaspur. That Ist party workman and any casual labours engaged by SDO, Telegraph, Rajgarh had also

approached Labour Commissioner, Bilaspur. After submitting failure report, dispute has been referred. Vide reply

dated 20-12-99 before Labour Commissioner, Bilaspur, the management had stated that the workman was on muster

roll from 1981 onwards. On above ground, workman submits that order of his termination is void. He prays for

reinstatement with backwages.

3.

2nd party filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. 2nd party submits that reference is not tenable on

ground of delay and latches. The dispute arose in December 1985. However Ist party raised dispute in July 1999 after

gap of 14 years. The dispute under reference deserves to be dismissed. 2nd party submits that reference is not tenable

on ground of delay and latches. The dispute arose in December 1985. However Ist party raised dispute in July 99 after

gap of 14 years. The dispute under reference deserves to be dismissed. 2nd party denied that workman was continuously

working during 1981 to 1985 and subsequently till 1997. In 1980, department of Telecom sanctioned project for

expansion of telecom network throughout the country. The project was sanctioned for Rajgarh District. For execution

of such work, large number of labours were taken from open market on casual basis, daily wages through muster at end

of the month for working days. Workman was also employed on similar basis. His engagement was purely casual on

contract daily wage basis. Contract engagement begin on day reported for work and ended each day of the engagement.

Workman was not engaged on regular basis against any sanctioned post. There was no master servant relationship

between parties. Workman was free to come for working on the day if available. He was free not to come if so desire.

The project work completed in 1990. Casual labours were discontinued. 2nd party submits that casual labours were

engaged during the period December 198. Workman was intermittently engaged after May 1984. There was no

obligation on management to call on work even if work was available. Workman must have decided not to report on

work on the ground that his job was of casual nature and not regular. After June 1984, workman not reported for work.

That workman had not completed 240 days continuous service. He is not entitled to regularization as per scheme of

1989. After May 984, workman left job at his own will. There was no question of issuing notice for terminating his

service as per provisions of ID Act. On such ground, 2nd party prays that claim of workman deserves to be rejected.

4.

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

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

(i) Whether the action of the management of the

Sub-Divisional Officer (Telegraph) BSNL, Raigarh

in terminating the services of their workman Shri

Akhilesh Kumar Mishra w.e.f. December 1985 is

legal and justified?

In Negative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

As per final order.

REASONS

5.

Point No.- Workman filed affidavit of his evidence supporting his contentions in statement of claim. That he

was working in Divisional Office, Rajgarh as daily wage labour during the period 1981 to 1984. In 1981, he worked for

31 days, in 1982 for 213 days, in 1983 for 292 days. That in 1996, he was paid wages at Government rate, in 1997 his

wages were reduced from Rs.400 per month to Rs.300 per month. His services were terminated without issuing notice.

He was not paid retrenchment compensation. In 1997, his services were terminated. That he was engaged through

contractor. The control was of the department. He was doing work of laying telephone lines and maintenance. That

casual labour grant of temporary status scheme was introduced. He was not given benefit of the scheme.

6.

From evidence of workman, document Exhibit W-1 is admitted in evidence. In his cross-examination, workman

says Sameer Khan had engaged him on work. Sameer Khan was not earlier acquainted with him. He called him and

engaged him on work. There was no advertisement for work. His name was sponsored through Employment

Exchange, appointment letter was not received by him. Documents about his name sponsored through Employment

Exchange are not produced. He was engaged on daily wages. His wages were paid by SDO, Chhattopadhyay and

sometimes by Junior Engineer. He was unable to tell rate of wages paid to him. He denied that he was engaged as per

3916

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

need of work. He was doing work of digging latches, laying cable lines, erecting poles etc. He denies that when such

work was available, he was called for work. He was unable to tell whether Mr. Chhattopadhyay had retired. Workman

was unable to tell on what basis Shri Chattopadhyay issued Exhibit W-1. He admits that he worked in the department

for the working days shown in Exhibit W-1. Thus it is clear that Exhibit W-1 is not disputed by the management. In

document Exhibit W-1, his working days are shown. Working days of workman from May 83 to May 84 are more than

240 days. In cross-examination of workman, working days shown in Para-2 of his affidavit are not challenged.

7.

2nd party management submitted affidavit of evidence of Amarnath Singh SDO Phones, Rajgarh. Said

management’s witness has stated that TDM, Rajgarh had also expansion of telephone projects, casual labours were

employed on day to day basis on need. The casual labours were paid daily wages. Ist party workman was employed by

TDM, Rajgarh during December 81 to June 84. That Ist party workman never worked after June 1984. As per judgment

by Hon’ble Supreme Court. Director of Telecom framed regularization scheme called casual labour grant of temporary

status Regulation 1989. Under said scheme, casual labours continued to work on the scheme and worked 240 days in

a year were required to be given temporary status/ regularized against regular post if available. In his cross-

examination, management’s witness says any document about attendance of workman are not produced. That

attendance of workman was maintained in the register. Said register is not produced. Management’s witness denies that

Ist party workman was working in the department till 1997. Management’s witness reiterates that workman was

continuously working till 1984. Thereafter he was not working in the department. Management’s witness denies that

workman was terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation was not paid to him. 2nd party has not produced

any documents about termination notice served on workman or he was paid retrenchment compensation.

8.

Learned counsel for Ist party relies on ratio held in case between-

Surendra Nagar District Panchayat versus Dahyabhai Amarsingh reported in 2005(8)SCC-750. Their Lordship

dealing with Section 25 B , 25-F of ID Act held requirement of 240 days continuous service. Ownus to prove 240 days

continuous service lies on workman. It is for workman to adduce evidence apart from examining himself or filing an

affidavit to prove the said factum. Such evidence may be in form of receipt of salary or wages for 240 days or record of

his appointment or engagement for that year to show that he has worked with the employer for 240 days or

examination of a co-worker.

In present case, as per document Exhibit W-1, it is established that workman worked more than 240 days during

1982, 83. There was no cross-examination about working days shown in para-2 of affidavit of workman. Workman has

as such discharged his burden that he was continuously working more than 240 days. Services of workman were

terminated without notice, retrenchment compensation as not paid. Dispute raised after 13 years itself cannot be a

ground for rejecting the claim of workman. Ist party has produced Exhibit W-1 as working days shown in Exhibit W-1

are not challenged as such the record is available about working days of workman. Considering evidence and

documents on record, though workman had worked more than 240 days, his services were terminated without notice.

Workman was not paid retrenchment compensation, termination of his services of workman is illegal for violation of

Section 25-F(a,b) of ID Act. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.

9.

Point No.2- In view of my finding in Point No.1 termination of workman is illegal, though workman in

statement of claim and his evidence has stated that he was not given benefit of the scheme known as casual labour

grant of temporary status and regularization in in1989, claim for regularization as per the scheme is not included in

terms of reference. Therefore the Tribunal cannot go beyond the terms of reference. Claim for regularization is not

included therefore claim for regularization cannot be allowed. His services of workman were terminated without

notice.

Counsel for workman relies on ratio held in case between Water Reources Department versus Manharan

reported in 2016-LAB.I.C.4522. Their Lordship upheld award for reinstatement passed by Labour Court upholding

findings of Labur Court that workman worked for 258 days.

In present case, contentions of management as claimed that expansion of telecom scheme was closed in 1990

has not been challenged therefore reinstatement of workman is not possible. Considering the Ist party workman was

working with the 2nd party from 1981 to 1984, relief of reinstatement would not be justified, compensation Rs. One

Lakh would be appropriate in the case. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.2.

10.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The action of the management of the Sub-Divisional Officer (Telegraph) BSNL, Raigarh in terminating

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim at

Page 2/1 to 2/3. Case of workman is that he was working as daily wage driver against leave vacancy w.e.f. 987. He was

posted in circle office, Bhopal. He was asked to served in various branch offices. He worked as Driver. He was getting

pay and allowances. Despite several applications and 2 interview calls given to him, interviews were cancelled without

assigning reasons. That he continuously worked from 1987 to 15-12-97. He was told that at present, budget doesnot

permit his continuation in driver, he should come after six months. Workman further submits that after period of six

months, when he appeared in the office, application was taken from him for appointment and asked to wait for

interview call. He not received call, any reply was not given to him. It is submitted that he was in service of 2nd party

from 1987 to December 1997. His services were discontinued without notice. He was engaged in leave vacancy and

rendered 12 year service. That there are many vacant post in the circle office but workman was not continued. Act of

management is malafide. His services are wrongfully terminated. On such ground, workman prays for his

reinstatement with full backwages.

3.

2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 7/1 to 7/3 opposing claim of workman. 2nd party reiterates that

workman was never given appointment on post of Driver. The recruitment on post of Driver is made following

recruitment rules. The driver cannot be appointed without completing departmental requirements. That claim of Ist

party is without substance. Workman has not produced appointment order as driver. He was not appointed by

department. The contentions of workman that he was told budget doesnot permit him continuous on post of driver is

baseless. As workman was not appointed, there is no question issuing notice for termination of his service. It is denied

that management has malafidely terminated his service. 2nd party prays for rejection of claim.

4.

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

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

(i) Whether the action of the management of Chief

General Manager, Telecom, MP Circle Bhopal in

terminating the services of Shri Abdul Nisar S/o

Shri Abdul Gaffar without any notice, enquiry or

disciplinary proceedings after employing him is

legal and justified?

In Affirmative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

Workman is not entitled to any relief.

REASONS

5.

The term of reference pertains to legality of termination of services of workman. Management has denied

appointment of Ist party. Workman filed affidavit supporting his contentions in statement of claim. He claimed that he

worked for 12 years. That he referred more than 240 days wages and entitled for regularization. Workman remained

absent for his cross examination, his evidence cannot be considered.

6.

Management was granted several adjournments but no evidence is adduced by management. Evidence of

management was closed on 9-9-16. Learned counsel for Ist party Shri Soni relies on ratio held in case between Tapash

Kumar Paul versus BSNL.

7.

Ist party workman has produced certain documents along with list but he failed to participate in reference

proceeding and lead evidence in proof of the documents. As evidence of workman cannot be considered, workman has

failed to establish termination of his service is illegal. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in

Affirmative.

8.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The action of the management of Chief General Manager, Telecom, MP Circle Bhopal in terminating

the services of Shri Abdul Nisar S/o Shri Abdul Gaffar without any notice, enquiry or disciplinary

proceedings after employing him is legal and proper.

(2)

Workman is not entitled to any relief.

9.

Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per rules.

14011/27/2009-IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the action of the management of Ordnance Factory Khamaria Jabalpur in deducting pay of Shri

Narender Kumar, OFK T.No.EE/85/64987 for 24-5-06 (one day) is legal and justified? If not, what relief the

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim.

Case of workman is that he is working as Electrician Highly skilled in Ordnance Factory, Khamaria, Jabalpur holding

T.No.EE/85/64987. As per prevalent rules of establishment of 2nd party, working hours of employees are 7.30 AM to 5

introduced electronic punching method issuing smart card to all its employees including workman. It was directed

from 26-3-06, muster rolls would be prepared according to Electronic punching method as per circular dated 25-3-06.

Workman submits on 24-5-06, he entered premises of 2nd party, duly punched his card E/85 in EDK Gate and in Pariyat

bhawan of the factory in morning as well as in the evening. That along with him, co-employees having token No. E-32,

signature on log book. despite he was present in duty hours on 24-5-06, 2nd party illegally deducted wages for that day

without any notice or reasons.

3.

Ist party further submits that management displayed on notice dated 27-5-06 informing that the action of the

workman using his smart card for punching at Pariyat gate instead of EDK Gate was unwarranted. Workman was

3922

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

advised for amendment in smart card submitting to EE Smart Card Incharge. That co-workers present with him on 24-

5-06 lodged complaint along with workman. It is submitted that the action of management deducting one day wages of

workman alleging his absence from duty is illegal. He submitted representation dated 22-10-06. That his service were

illegally deducted. He also submitted representation on 17-5-07 for review of order of deduction of wages for absence

from duty on 24-5-06. That 2nd party issued show cause notice dated 9-5-06 to him after lapse of 2 years regarding his

absence on 24-5-06. That the management had kept silence did not provide copies of entries on his request. Workman

reiterates that he had rendered service on 24-5-06 is in his punching card at EDK gate and Pariyat Bhawan of the

factory. He submits that the deduction of wages for absence on 24-5-06 be quashed and 2nd party be directed to pay

with held.

4.

2nd party management filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. As per 2nd party workman Narendra

Kumar was working as Electrician Highly skilled T.No. E-84/64987. Management introduced mustering procedure,

attendance in the Ordnance Factory. The process of introduction of Electronic attendance system was introduced.

Management received complaints against workman Narendra Kumar from R.P.Kasera, Pandey alleging that the

workman committed had talked indiscipline with Sr. Co-worker. Workman has put them to harassment making false

complaint and threatening to make false complaint against them in the SC ST council etc. That on 24-5-06, workman

had not come to day at EDK Gate at 7.30 hours. He had come to duty around 11.30 hours Shri D.K.Pandey Incharge

instructed workman not to take up the work and must go back marking his absence. Workman disobeying his

instructions joined duty and went to work in EDK. In order to prove his presence, workman had signed in the

complaint and work allotment register. It is not regular practice to sign the unofficial register or complaint book . It is

alleged that workman quarreled and misbehaved with Shri R.C.Saxena and Mr. Pandey on the issue of marking his

absence in the attendance. That workman unauthorisely decided himself to punch at Pariyat bhawan 1 km distance at

EDK Gate. On 26-5-06, due to increase workload, Shri Kasare asked Pandey Sub Incharge to send Bhagwan Singh

Electrician, Mohd. for work of Electrical Fitter. Workman stopped them and instigated not to attend the work. On 24-

5-06, though workman was marked absent from duty, he went to work in explosive area (EDK) throating the rules,

disobeying instructions of the Incharge. Shri Kasare and Pandey were threatened by workman to submit complaint in

Harijan Thana & SC ST counsel. It is reiterated that complaint was received from Kasare and Pandey against workman

but the matter was inquired by the Works Manager and submitted his confidential reports along with the documents.

Workman submitted complaint on 5-9-06. Joint General Manager received complaint for investigation. The

investigation revealed that workman himself went to EDK and introduced his name in electric work register. That

absence of workman on 24-5-06 was confirmed . the complaint by workman was found incorrect. It is reiterated that

on 24-5-06, workman had not attended duty from EDK gate rather he covered to the place of duty at 11.30 hours. For

his absence from duty, wages for 24-5-06 were not paid. Action of the management is legal. 2nd party prays for

rejection of claim.

5.

Ist party workman filed rejoinder reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.

6.

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

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

(i) Whether the action of Ordnance Factory

Khamaria Jabalpur in deducting pay of Shri

Narender Kumar , OFK T.No.EE/85/64987 for 24-

5-06 (one day) is legal and justified?

In Affirmative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

Workman is not entitled to any relief.

REASONS

7.

The term of reference pertains to deduction of wages of Narendra Kumar of one day for 24-5-06 is legal. In

support of his claim, workman filed affidavit of his evidence. In his affidavit of evidence, workman has stated on 25-3-

06, electronic punching method was introduced by management. Smart card was issued to all employees on 24-5-06, he

entered premises of respondent and punched smart card in EDK gate and Panchayat bhawan in morning as well as in

evening. Other co-workers had also marked presence by punching their respective cards. He marked his presence in

log book in EDK Section. Despite his presence inside factory premises on 24-5-06, his wages were illegally deducted

without reasons. On 27-5-06, notice was displayed on board advising him to make amendment in smart card. That co-

workers who were present with him on 24-5-06 supported him in lodging the complaint. He submitted representation

dated 10-6-06, 7-5-07. He had replied to showcause notice dated 17-5-08. Certified copy of punching entries were not

II

(ii)

3923

supplied to him. In his cross, workman says he received documents Exhibit W-1 to 5 under RTI Act. The suggestion to

the contrary is denied by him. In 2006-07, Bhatacharjee was working as JWM. That he submitted representation

Exhibit W-6. He did not receive its reply. He had written letter W-7. He did not get its reply thereafter he raised the

dispute. He admits that attendance in Ordnance Factory is marked by Electronic machine. Order is produced at Exhibit

M-1. Shri A.K.Pandey and Kasera were senior employees working with him. They were issuing instructions to him. He

denies that he threatened them to lodge complaint under rehosities Act. His working hours were 7.30 hours to 5.30

PM. He denies that on 24-5-06, he came to duty place at 11.30 AM. On that day, Pandey was his incharge. He denies

that Shri D.K.Pandey told him that he was marked absent and he should return back. The complaint and work register

are maintained in the department. Work register is not maintained. Signature of employee making complaint is not

competent in the complaint register. He denies that he quarreled with Kasera and Pandey. On 24-5-06, he punched his

card at EDK and Pariyat Bhawan. He denies that all employees were required to punch their card at EDK Gate only.

8.

Management filed affidavit of witness Shri D.K.Pandey. Pandey has devoted his affidavit about introduction

of electronic attendance punching card. That on 24-5-06, workman had not come to duty at EDK at 7.30 hours. That

purposely he had posted his name and signature in work allocation register. He had instructed workman not to take

work and must go back. Workman disobeyed his instructions and went to work at EDK. That workman had threatened

to submit report against him and Kasera. Document Exhibit M-1 to M-7 are admitted in evidence from evidence of

those witness. In his cross-examination, management’s witness says that enquiry was made w.r.t. entries made in log

book. Log book was in his custody. Overwriting in entries in logbook was kept to his notice in noon time. He denies

that on 24-5-06, employees could have taken entry from Pariyat gate. He denies that workman had punched his smart

card in morning at EDK gate. Management’s witness denied that other employees had punched their card at Panchayat

were allowed to work. Witness explained employees present at place of working were allowed to work. Management’s

witness denies that workman had submitted complaint against him and his promotion was cancelled. That General

Manager has recorded the statement of Bahadur, Bhagwan Singh, Rajendra. Copies of their statements were not

supplied to workman. He claims ignorance about complaint by Suraj Prasad and Bahadur against him. Management’s

witness in his further cross examination says in case there was mechanical defect, the card could be punched at other

gate.

9.

Management’s witness Rajendra Prasad in his evidence says complaint Exhibit M-2 bears his signature. The

contents of his complaint are correct. That workman had not come for work on the day. Mr. Pandey Chargeman told

workman about his absence. On that workman said he would complaint against him. Report Exhibit M-2 was sent by

him. Workman had not punched his card at EDK Section. The log book in original was brought by him, its copy is

marked Exhibit M-2. In his cross, above witness of management claims ignorance about attendance of workman was

marked at Pariyat Bhawan and EDK Gate. That record of card punching is not produced in the case. He denies that

employee punching his card at EDK can go to Pariyat Bhawan. That after his complaint M-2, his statement was

recorded. He was not cross examined by workman.

10.

Documents produced by workman Exhibit W-1 pertain to working hours, Exhibit W-2 is office order dated 25-

3-06 pertaining to punching method, W-3 is workman and other co-employees Card No. 21,32,85,84, 192, 217 are

shown absent, W-4 is copy of discharge, inward register, W-5 is complaint dated 28-8-06 workman has not examined

co-employees. W-6 is application dated 17-5, W-7 is letter dated 9-5-08. Those documents donot establish that

workman was present on duty on 24-5-06.

11.

Documents produced Exhibit M-1 relates to the introduction of electronic attendance issuing master cards etc.

In Exhibit M-2(a) workman is marked absent on 24-5-06. Exhibit M-2(b) workman and other co-employees Card No.

21,32,85,84, 192, 217 are shown absent. Exhibit M-3 is complaint submitted on 25-6-06 about marking absence of

workman by Shri Pandey and workman threatening him etc. Exhibit M-4,5 is report w.r.t complaint against workman

Narendra Kumar that the absence of workman marked on 24-5-06 was correct. Exhibit M-6 is letter dated 18-4-08

relating to confirmation of card punching. Exhibit M-7 is letter dated 24-4-08 w.r.t. that the record of punching cards

could not be preserved for 2 years. Exhibit M-2 is report submitted by R.P.Karora w.r.t. absence of workman on 24-5-

06. There is absolutely no cross examination w.r.t. above record. During course of argument, Shri Choubey pointed out

my attention to signature of Ist party workman appearing on M-2(b). such signature is not appearing on document M-

3. Both the documents clearly shows employee T.No.85 was absent. Evidence of workman is clear that sign on

complaint book is not obtained. Evidence of management’s witness D.K.Pandey and Rajendra Prasad is clear that

workman was absent at EDK Gate at 7.30 hours on 24-5-05. Their evidence on above point is not shattered. Evidence

of workman is silent why he had punched his card at Pariyat and EDK Gate. If evidence is carefully considered,

evidence of both management witnesses is corroborated by documents M-2,3. Workman was absent from duty.

12.

Under Section 7(2)(b) & 9 of Payment of Wages Act, the deduction of wages for absence from duty is

permissible. As evidence of workman is not convincing he was on duty on 24-5-06, non-payment of wages/ deduction

of one day wages is proper and legal. Accordingly I record my finding in Point No.1.

AWARD

Passed on this 3rd day of May 2017

1.

As per letter dated 11-2-2000 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-

14012/90/99/IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the action of the management of General Manager, Gun Carriage Factory, Jabalpur in terminating

the services of their workman Shri Rajaram S/o Shri Amaan, Ex-labour T.No. 266/IE/90(O) w.e.f. 30-11-96

is legal and justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled?”

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party submitted statement of claim at Page 2/1 to

2/6. Case of workman is that he was appointed as labour on 30-4-74 at GCF Jabalpur. On 30-11-96, he was removed

from service. He completed 20 years one month continuous service. He was suspended on 29-3-96. Chargesheet was

issued to him on 24-4-96. Charges alleged against him admitting to commit theft of Government property on 27-5-96.

Enquiry was held against him. Evidence of 4 management’s witnesses was produced. That he had not accepted charges

alleged against him. Enquiry Officer and management representative were appointed. He was allowed Defence

II

(ii)

3925

Assistant. However without conducting enquiry, Enquiry Officer closed enquiry and submitted his report on 28-9-96.

Disciplinary Authority removed him from service on 30-10-96, enquiry was conducted violating principles of natural

justice. Order of his removal is illegal. It is reiterated that any of the witnesses shown in the list were not examined.

Seizure memo was not proved by the witnesses. Charge against him could not be proved. That stock report of stores

was not produced to establish shortage of material. Enquiry is vitiated. That he submitted names of two witnesses Ram

Singh Verma and Mr. Tripathi. On 23-9-96, the Defence Assistant was absent. Workman was compelled to accept

charges by Enquiry Officer. Once workman had refused to accept charges against him on 9-8-96 it is unreasonable to

compel him to admit charges on 23-9-96. Ist party workman reiterates that the order of removal is illegal. Workman

prays for his reinstatement with backwages.

3.

2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 7/1 to 7/3 opposing claim of workman. Management submits that

workman was employed as labour and allotted T.No.266/IE 1947 in GCF Jabalpur. On 27-3-96, workman was found

attempt to steal 8 pieces of silver weighing 900 grams and 2 pieces of copper weighing 130 grams. On 29-3-96,

workman was suspended. Chargesheet under Rule 14 CCS CCA Rules issued to him on 24-4-96. Shri G.Sidaraju was

appointed Enquiry Officer. Enquiry was conducted as per rules. Enquiry was adjourned on request of workman on 23-

9-96, workman admitted charges. Enquiry was closed. Enquiry Officer submitted his report on 11-10-96 holding

charges against workman were proved. Considering report of Enquiry Officer, Ist party workman was awarded

punishment of removal on 30-11-96. Appeal preferred by workman was returned to him advising that he should address

the appeal properly. Workman did not prefer fresh appeal. That enquiry was adjourned 5 times. Defence Assistant was

unable to represent workman. As workman admitted charges, Enquiry Officer submitted his report. Punishment of

removal of workman is legal.

4.

Ist party workman filed rejoinder at Page 8/1 to 8/2 reiterating his contentions in statement of claim.

5.

After evidence adduced by parties, enquiry was found legal vide order dated 10-5-16.

6.

Considering pleadings on record and findings on enquiry, the points which arise for my consideration and

determination are as under. My findings are recorded against each of them for the reasons as below:-

(i) Whether the misconduct alleged against

workman is proved from evidence in Enquiry

proceedings?

In Negative

(ii) Whether the punishment of dismissal imposed

against workman is proper and legal?

In Negative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

As per final order.

REASONS

7.

As per order dated 10-3-16, enquiry conducted against workman is found proper and legal, question remain for

consideration is whether charges alleged against workman are proved from evidence in Enquiry Proceedings.

Documents of enquiry are produced at Exhibit M-1 to 12. Record of Enquiry Proceedings Page 16 workman had

denied charges against him on 9-8-96. Enquiry was adjourned to 19-8-96, 29-8-96, 23-7-96. Defence Assistant was

absent on all the dates. At Page 19 of Enquiry Proceedings dated 23-9-96, again Enquiry Officer explained charges to

Ist party workman. The answer of workman is recorded that I now accept the charges levelled against me as per GCF

Memo dated 24-4-96 without any external pressure. When already charges were explained to workman on 9-8-96,

Enquiry Officer again explaining charges against him when Defence Assistant was absent is absolutely illegal.

Recording plea of admission of workman by Enquiry Officer was not justified. Enquiry Officer recorded his finding

that charges are proved. Findings of Enquiry Officer based on admission of Ist party workman is illegal. When any

evidence of management’s witness is not recorded, charges levelled against workman are not proved from evidence.

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

8.

Point No.2- Punishment of dismissal/ removal of workman is imposed on the basis of findings submitted by

Enquiry Officer. Again recording plea of workman and closing the enquiry without recording evidence is not proper

and justified. Therefore punishment of dismissal imposed on the basis of report submitted by Enquiry Officer is illegal.

For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.2 in Negative.

9.

Point No.3- In view of my finding in Point No.1 charges alleged against workman are not proved, punishment of

dismissal/ removal is illegal. Learned counsel for 2nd party Shri A.K.Shashi submits that management has lost

confidence because of the attempt of theft. Learned counsel submits that relief of reinstatement cannot be granted. Shri

A.K.Shashi relies on ratio held in case between-

3926

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

State Bank of India and others versus Ramesh Dinkar Punde reported in 2006(7)SCC-212. Their Lordship

dealing with scope of judicial review and scope of interference held if evidence considered by Enquiry Officer,

Disciplinary Authority and Appellate Authority- reappreciation of such evidence is impermissible.

Ratio held in the case cannot be applied to case at hand as Enquiry Officer did not record evidence of any

witnesses of the management. Workman had already denied charges against him. Again recording plea of admission by

management is illegal. Considering factual matrix, punishment of dismissal deserves to be quashed and instead of

reinstatement, compensation Rs.2,50,000 deserves to be awarded to meet the ends of justice, accordingly I record my

finding in Point No.3.

10.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The action of General Manager, Gun Carriage Factory, Jabalpur in terminating the services of their

workman Shri Rajaram S/o Shri Amaan, Ex-labour T.No. 266/IE/90(O) w.e.f. 30-11-96 is not proper and

legal.

(2)

2nd party is directed to pay compensation Rs.2,50,000/- to the workman.

Amount as per above order shall be paid to workman within 30 days from the date of notification of award. In

case of default, amount shall carry 9 % interest per annum from the date of award till its realization.

11.

Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per rules.

AWARD

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

42011/143/2011-IR(DU) dated 15.02.2012 referred the dispute for adjudication to the Central Government Industrial

Tribunal cum Labour Court, Ahmedabad (Gujarat) in respect of the matter specified in the Schedule:

SCHEDULE

“Whether the demand of the union to eradicate the anomaly between the Non-Technical Staff and Technical

Staff of NPCIL which caused due to the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission is legal, proper

and just? What relief the technical staff is entitled to?”

1.

The reference dates back to 15.02.2012. In response to the notices issued to the parties, the second party the

General Secretary, KakraparAnumathakKarmachariSangathan submitted the statement of claim Ex. 7 on 08.01.2014

alleging that the first party Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited is the government organisation engaged in

construction, development and maintenance of Nuclear Power Plant. There are so many employees therein and the

second party union is registered under the Bombay Trade Union Act and affiliated to INTUC which is a recognised

union of the first party to which majority of the employees are its registered members. The technical staff of the first

party dedicates most important role in generating power which is called the core group of the organisation. They

participate in achieving the targets and goals set by the first party from time to time. The first party has already

implemented the revised pay scale and grade pay as per the 6th Central Pay Commission Pay Structure for all the

employees of Kakrapar Atomic Power Station. It is further alleged that earlier non-technical staff grade pay was

equivalent to the technical staff but after revision, the technical staff grade pay remains unchanged and the grade pay of

non-technical staff was upgraded one step higher to technical core group staff causing to the dis-satisfaction among the

technical staff who are the core group employees.

2.

It is further alleged that non-executive personnel consequent upon the implementation of the 6th Central Pay

Commission Pay Structure were in the pre-revised scale of Rs. 5000-150-8000, Rs. 5500-175-9000, Rs. 6500-200-

10500 and Rs. 7450-225-11500 and technical employees were in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 5000-150-8000, Rs.

5500-175-9000, Rs. 6500-200-10500 and Rs. 7450-225-11500 but the grade pay of technical and non-technical staff

was changed as stated above in the manner reproduced in the table below:

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Thus both categories of technical SA/B, AFM, DM/B, and Tech/F, V/s Non-Technical ASO Grade 2, PA AG –

3 were having same pre-revised 5th CPC pay scale of Rs. 5500-175-9000 but having different 6th CPC grade pay of

4200 and 4600 while technical personnel are having inferior grade pay of Rs. 4200 and non-technical personnel are

given superior Grade Pay of Rs. 4600.

Technical staff likes SA/C, FM/A, DM/C and Tech/G where as non-technical staff likes also Grade-3, PS, Sr.

AG-1 having same pay scale of Rs. 6500-200-10500 (pre-revised) but having different 6th CPC grade pay of Rs. 4600

and 4800. Technical personnel having inferior grade pay of Rs. 4600 whereas non-technical personnel are given

superior grade pay of Rs. 4800.

Thus the second party has prayed for passing an order to the first party to grant the same 6th CPC grade pay to

all the employees who are having same 5th CPC pre-revised scale of pay i.e. Rs. 5000-150-8000, Rs. 5500-175-9000,

Rs. 6500-200-10500 and Rs. 7450-225-11500 and any other relief as the tribunal deems fit in favour of the second

party.

3.

The first party in his written statement Ex. 8 admitted all the facts of the statement of claim and explained as to

why the second party workman were not given the parity in respect of the grade pay with the non-technical employees

of the corporation. To explain the facts, it is submitted that the parliament enacted the Atomic Energy Act, 1962

repealing the earlier Atomic Energy Act, 1948 vesting with the exclusive powers to produce, develop, use and dispose

of Atomic Energy for production and supply of electricity. In its wisdom through a policy decision, the central

government decided to carry out the generation of electricity to a government company, therefore, the Nuclear Power

Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), hereinafter referred to as NPCIL was incorporated in the year 1987 under the

company act, 1956 as a “Government Company” wholly owned by the Central Government under the administrative

control of Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India. Consequent upon the incorporation of NPCIL, all the

employees of the Nuclear Power Board, a consequent of Department of Atomic Energy were transferred en-masse

deputation basis to the NPCIL without deputation allowance with effect from 17.09.1987 vide DAE O.M. No. 8/3 (1)

86 – PP iii dated 04.09.1987 with a condition that the employees will have an option to be permanently absorbed in

NPCIL. NPCIL, after it incorporation was to finalise the service conditions of its employees with in a period of 12

months from the date of the aforesaid office memorandum. It is further submitted that as per the policy directives and

guidelines issued by the Department of Atomic Energy, Government of India,scientific and technical employees shall

continue to be governed by the merit promotion scheme (without linkage to vacancies) of Department of Atomic

Energy. While the administrative personnel (HR Finance, Contract and Materials Management) and auxiliary cadres

shall be governed by NPCIL promotion rules and orders issued from time to time. The absorption terms also included

introduction of promotion by upgradation to two levels in Group C and D with linkage to any vacancies. The

upgradation shall be on the basis of 5 years qualifying service in the immediate lower grade, written examination,

acceptable C R Grading and personal interview. Thus accordingly, a career progression policy was finalised for non-

technical category with the approval of board of directors as follows:

4.

Thus there was no linkage in promotion pattern of technical and non-technical staff from the beginning of the

formation of the corporation and even during the period under Department of Atomic Energy. In addition, the above

non-technical promotion scheme provides only two level upgradation and the next level on the availability of

vacancies. It is further submitted that to provide improved levels for upgradation and career progression in non-

technical and non-executive categories of employees, the scheme was reviewed by a committee which felt that

minimum four upgradation/promotion be provided for these categories of employees recommending that initial

induction level may be raised from Jr. Assistant – 1 to Jr. Assistant – 2 (now re-designated as Assistant Gr. - 1) with

educational qualification of Graduation of Arts/Science/Commerce with minimum 50% marks plus minimum 6 month

certificate course in Computer Application, in view of the changing job requirement. Accordingly, the

recommendations of the committee were approved by the Board of Directors and the following scheme was made

effective w.e.f. 1st of April, 2006.

It is further submitted that on the basis of the revised promotion policy, the promotions for non-technical

category were effected w.e.f. 01.04.2006, 01.04.2007 and 01.04.2008 which were notified in September, 2008 by the

Government of India in accordance with the revised scales of pay as per 6th CPC recommendations. The pay

commission recommendations accepted by the Government of India as well as by Department of Atomic Energy were

adopted by the NPCIL resulting into merger of three of the above levels viz. Level 2, Level 3 and Level 4 and into one

pay band (PB -2) with same grade pay of Rs. 4200/-. Thus above development affected the whole career progression

scheme of non-technical non-executive categories of employees (which was made in 2006) and the number of

promotional levels got reduced to 2 from the earlier 4. This necessitated further review of the career progression policy

of this category of employees afresh in the context of revised pay structure and also on the basis of cadre review took

place at DAE.

6.

It is further submitted that a committee was constituted to review the promotion policy existing in NPCIL in

case of non-technical non-executive cadre. The joint consultative council (JCC) members were also allowed to make a

presentation before the committee. The JCC consists of members of the unions including recognized union of KAPS.

The committee after going through the cadre review of DAE and scales/grade pay allowed to the staff working at DAE

Secretariat submitted its recommendations. In order to maintain the levels of promotions as agreed to earlier, the

following was recommended by the committee, which was accepted and implemented in NPCIL for non-technical non-

executive categories of employees.

7.

It is further submitted that the recruitment level, number of levels of promotion, promotion policy and the

promotion norms (i.e. qualifying service, CR grading) in respect of technical categories of employees and non-technical

categories of employees have always been different. For technical employees, it is not linked to vacancies at all

whereas in the case of “non-technical non-executive category” of employees, it is by upgradation in the first two levels

of promotions and vacancy based in the next two levels. Hence, there is no comparison possible as the basic criterion,

categories and cadres are different.

8.

It is further submitted that as per the terms of the service conditions as offered and agreed upon at the time of

absorption of NPCIL, technical categories of employees of NPCIL are governed by the Department of Atomic

Energy’s merit promotion scheme, whereas non-technical employees of NPCIL are governed by NPCIL promotion

scheme which is reviewed by NPCIL from time to time. Further the qualification of induction level for Assistant

Grade – 1 is far superior to the induction level of Technician B. While the basic qualification requirement for Assistant

3930

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Grade – 1 is graduation in Arts/Science/Commerce with minimum 50% marks plus minimum 6 months Computer

Application course, whereas for technician B, the qualification requirement is HSC with Maths and Science or SSC +

ITI. The Department of Atomic Energy also reviewed merit promotion policy subsequent to 6th CPC and a comparative

statement indicating present promotion policy of technical categories of employees and non-technical employees in

NPCIL.

9.

It is further submitted that the first party has pioneered in successfully running 7 operating Nuclear Power

Stations across the country and each one of the station has a registered trade union consisting of its employees as

members and till so far, none of the members at these stations have ever raised any such issues as they were fully aware

about the absorption conditions and the promotion policy of technical and non-technical employees in NPCIL. The

second party without understanding the promotion policy for technical and non-technical employees, difference of

policy and the absorption conditions as mentioned above has raised the present dispute, which needs to be

rejected.Thus the first party on the aforesaid ground has justified the denial of parity to the technical staff with the non-

technical staff.

10.

The second party submitted the rejoinder Ex. 9 to the written statement of the first party explaining that NPCIL

has accepted and implemented the Central Government Pay Scale or it’s all the employees including non-technical

category which is self-explanatory in annexure 1 and 2 annexed with the written statement wherein no distinction has

been made for the category of non-technical employees. Non-technical employees of the NPCIL have been granted

next higher grade pay which is denied to the technical employees. It is wrong to say that the promissory e-stopples

apply in the case. Promotion pattern of technical and non-technical staff have nothing to the dispute involved in the

reference. All the averments and submissions of the first party are irrelevant and baseless and also not connected with

the dispute in any manner.

11.

Promotion pattern of technical and non-technical staff has nothing to do with the dispute involved in the present

dispute. 6th CPC recommendation and career progression are different issues and have no relevance. Their demand is to

grant same grade pay to technical employees also which are already accepted by NPCIL i.e. from Rs. 4200 to Rs. 4600,

Rs. 4600 to Rs. 4800 and Rs. 4800 to Rs. 5400 for pre-revised scale of Rs. 5500-175-9000 (S-10), Rs. 6500-200-10500

(S-12) and Rs. 7500-250-12000 (S-14) respectively and to remove disparity in implementation of grade pay

recommended by 6th CPC for pre-revised scale of Rs. 5500-175-9000 (S-10), Rs. 6500-200-10500 (S-12) and Rs. 7500-

250-12000 (S-14) for all the employees of first party. It is true that after implementation of 6th pay commission

recommendations accepted by the Government of India and as adopted by Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and

NPCIL resulted in merger of 3 scales of Rs. 5000-150-8000 (S-9), Rs. 5500-175-9000 (S-10), Rs. 6500-200-10500

(S-12). But after implementation of Part B of the 6the CPC only two scales are merged in one scale i.e. of Rs. 5000-

150-8000 (S-9), Rs. 5500-175-9000 (S-10). This resulted for both the categories of employees i.e. technical as well as

non-technical categories of employees and reduced the promotional level of technical category employees also. The

same issue is clarifying by way of notification of NPCIL which is already annexed as Annexure A and Annexure B.

12.

On the basis of the pleadings, following issues are to be addressed by way of the award:

Issue No. i: Whether the demand of the union to eradicate the anomaly between the Non-Technical Staff and Technical

Staff of NPCIL which caused due to the recommendations of 6th Central Pay Commission is legal, proper and just?

Issue No.ii: To what relief, if any, the technical staff is entitled?”

13.

Both the parties did not prefer to lead oral evidence and relied on the letter dated 18.09.2008 of NPCIL

regarding revised pay structure for the post operated in NPCIL (Annexure A) and letter dated 01.12.2008 of NPCIL

regarding Part B revision of pay structure in NPCIL in respect of certain categories of employees (Annexure B).

14.

The dispute revolved around Para 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the statement of claim Ex. 7 which are reproduced as under:

i.

The second party submitted that NPCIL has already implemented the revised pay scale and grade pay for

all the employees of KAPS i.e. Non-technical, non-executive personnel consequent upon implementation

of 6th CPC pay structure who are in the pre-revised scale of Rs. 5000-150-8000, Rs. 5500-175-9000, Rs.

6500-200-10500 and Rs. 7450-225-11500.

ii.

The technical employees of KAPS who are in the pre-revised pay scale of Rs. 5000-150-8000, Rs. 5500-

175-9000, Rs. 6500-200-10500 and Rs. 7450-225-11500 are being denied the revised grade pay which is

given to non-technical non-executive personnel who are in the same pre-revised scale of i.e. Rs. 5000-

150-8000, Rs. 5500-175-9000, Rs. 6500-200-10500 and Rs. 7450-225-11500.

iii.

Earlier non-technical staff grade pay was equivalent to the technical staff, now it is regret to inform that

technical staff grade pay remains unchanged whereas non-technical staff grade pay is upgraded one step

15.

The basic principle of law and natural justice is that if there are two categories of employees in an organisation

and these categories of employees are getting the same grade pay and at a later stage, if the grade pay of one of the

categories of the employees is enhanced depriving the other category of employee of the parity then the basic principle

of justice says that the deprived category of employee should be heard and plausible and cogent reasons must be given

for the deprivation of parity. I have gone through both the documents filed by the first party Annexure A and B. These

documents do not reveal as to what were the reasons, the non-technical staff was given enhanced grade pay and the

technical staff as mentioned in the above table were deprived of the grade pay which is given to the non-technical staff.

16.

The advocate for the first party Shri K.V. Gadhia Associates referred Union of India V/s P.V. Hariharan 1997

(0) GLHEL-SC 33097 wherein the Supreme Court has observed that “we have noticed that quite often the tribunals are

interfering with pay scales without proper reasons and without being conscious of the fact that fixation of pay is not

their function. It is the function of the government which normally acts on the recommendations of a Pay Commission.

Change of pay scale of a category has a cascading effect. Several other categories similarly situated, as well as those

situated above and below, put forward their claims on the basis of such change. The tribunal should realise that

interfering with the prescribed pay scales is a serious matter. The Pay Commission, which goes into the problem at

great depth and happens to have a full picture before it, is the proper authority to decide upon this issue. Very often, the

doctrine of “equal pay for equal work” is also being misunderstood and misapplied, freely revising and enhancing the

pay scales across the board. We hope and trust that the tribunals will exercise due restraint in the matter. Unless a clear

case of hostile discrimination is made out, there would be no justification for interfering with the fixation of pay

scales. We have come across orders passed by Single Members and that too quite often Administrative

Members, allowing such claims. These orders have a serious impact on the public exchequer too. It would be in the

fitness of things if all matters relating to pay scales, i.e. matters asking for a higher pay scale or an enhanced pay scale,

as the case may be, on one or the other ground, are heard by a bench comprising at least one Judicial Member. The

Chairman of the Central Administrative Tribunal and the Chairmen of the State Administrative Tribunals shall consider

issuing appropriate instructions in the matter.” Similar views were expressed in M.C. Dubey V/s Inspector General of

Registration 2013 (3) Volume 54 Gujarat Law Reporter A 2013 expressing that such dispute cannot be agitated

belatedly.

17.

The advocate for the second party union, Shri H.D. Kathrotiya relied on Union of India V/s Anil Kumar 1999

Law Suit (SC) 655 wherein the apex court observed that action of putting Assistant Foreman en-bloc junior to Senior

Scientific Assistant without any reason or valid basis was held arbitrary and violative of fundamental rights

guaranteeing in equality in service matters.

3932

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

18.

He further referred that R.D. Gupta V/s Lt. Governor Delhi Administration 1987 Law Suit (SC) 603 wherein the

Supreme Court has held that granting higher scale of pay to members of the ministerial staff of electricity denying the

same to the staff of the other wings is discriminatory and arbitrary. It was also observed that placing of non-technical

staff in electricity wing on higher putting and giving them higher pay scale cannot be justified by any stretch of law.

19.

In the present case as discussed above, the technical staff has been deprived the higher grade pay vis-à-vis non-

technical staff. My general knowledge of science says that the technical staff put always more labour and subject to

more risk in their employment. In the present case, the body of these technical staff are subject to serious nuclear

radiations causing their life short even then the NPCIL feels the technical staff inferior to the non-technical is disastrous

and the approach of the committee, if any, constituted by the NPCIL is laughable. Therefore, the granting of lesser

grade pay to the technical staff is arbitrary and discriminatory and same cannot be justified.

20.

As the apex court in Union of India V/s P.V. Hariharan 1997 (0) GLHEL-SC 33097 wherein the Supreme Court

has observed that unless a clear case of hostile discrimination is made out, there would be no justification for

interfering with the fixation of pay scales. We have come across orders passed by Single Members and that too quite

often Administrative Members, allowing such claims. Therefore, in the present case, the committee of the NPCIL in

their letter Annexure A and B to the written statement has not given any reasons as to why non-technical staff has been

given preference in granting more grade pay vis-à-vis technical staff and as to why and what were the reasons to

deprive the technical staff to give the equal grade pay vis-à-vis non-technical staff. Therefore, the action of NPCIL

cannot be said equitable, just and reasoned. The action of NPCIL or the committed constituted by it is arbitrary and

discriminatory. Thus the demand of the second party union is legal, proper and just with respect to the Issue No. i.

21.

Issue No. ii: In the light of the aforesaid discussions made in the Issue No. i, I am of the view that technical staff

will be given the same grade pay as their counterparts in the non-technical category have been given, within 60 days of

publication of the award.

22.

The award is passed accordingly.

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim

through General Secretary at Page 13 to 17. Case of Union is that the dispute is raised pertaining to R.K.Singh ad 136

others shown in the list enclosed with order of reference in representative capacity for redressal of their grievances.

That the workman connected with dispute were working as Darban on date of initial appointment shown in the list

attached with the reference order. that workmen were required to work 9 hours per day without lunch break. From the

date of their initial appointment, workman used to work 48 hours in a week. Period of lunch break was not available to

darbans working in 2nd party factory. Other employees working in the 2nd party engaged in different work were given

one hour lunch break. They were required to perform 8 hour duty per week whereas the workman were required to

perform 54 hours duty in a week, they were paid salary for 54 hours in a week as they worked. Workman submitted

representations in the matter of less payment of salary, payment of overtime allowance for the extra work performed

during lunch hour. 2nd party management realized their mistake and working period of workman were reduced to 8.30

hours per day from 28-8-99. However workman were not paid overtime allowance for the period he had already

performed during lunch hour since their initial appointment. Employees were exploited by management of 2nd party

extracting work till lunch hour. Ist party claims wages for extra duty hours during lunch period from initial appointment

till 29-8-99.

3.

It is further submitted that some controversy was raised by darbans working in 2nd party for overtime allowance

from 7-8-72 to 31-3-93. The grievances of darban were considered by department and they were paid extra salary for

working during lunch hour. That the act of management not paying overtime for additional time is illegal. On such

ground, workman prays directions to the 2nd party for paying overtime wages from their initial appointment with 18 %

interest.

4.

2nd party filed Written Statement at Page 21 to 22 opposing claim of Ist party. 2nd party submits that the Ist party

has not mentioned specific period of time as to when they have been working 54 hours, 51 hours, 48 hours. Etc.

Statement of claim of workman is incomplete, ambiguous and vague. Such claim is not tenable. That duty of employee

commence from the time he report at working place. Working hours are from the time of reaching work spot. The

darbans working in the 2nd party factory were paid overtime under departmental rule for weekly hours for 44.34 to 48

hours and double rate of wages under factory rules of working for 48 hours. The dispute raised must be specific in time

which spell they were asked to perform more than prescribed hours without paying overtime. 2nd party denied

allegation. It is submitted that averment of Ist party is misleading the claim based by delay and latches as the dispute

was raised in 1973. That the claim of Ist party is not specific. Employees were paid overtime at various time as per

laws. The claim for recovery of overtime amount with 18 % interest is not tenable. 2nd party prays for rejection of

claim.

5.

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

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

(i) Whether the demand of the GCF Mazdoor Sangh

from the management of Gun Carriage Factory,

Jabalpur for payment of OTA to Darbans ( as per

list attached) from the date of their appointment

upto 29-8-99 for duty performed during lunch hour

that is duty performed in excess of 48 hours per

week is just and proper?

In Negative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

Workmen are not entitled to any relief.

REASONS

6.

The term of reference pertains to demand of GCF Union for overtime allowance to darbans names appearing in

the list attached with the order of reference since date of their appointment till 29-8-99. The date of his initial

appointment of workman shown in the list ranges from 1971, 76, 77 to 93,94,99 etc. management opposed claim for

overtime on the ground that claim is not specific w.r.t. period of overtime working. Management also contented that

overtime wages as per provisions of Factory Act were paid for working more than 48 hours in a week.

7.

Identical affidavit of evidence of witnesses of Ist party Shri A.R.Tiwari, Rathram, Dixit are filed. Shri Tiwari in

his affidavit of evidence says that he was working as Darban from 31-11-77. He knows other persons working as

darban. That they were working 9 hours per day. 54 hours in a week. Their working hours were reduced to 8 ½ hours

per day, 51 hours in a week. That they were required to work 54 hours a week but wages were paid for 51 hours in

1992. Representation was submitted regarding grievances of darban working in factory claiming additional wages for

3938

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

six hours. From 29-8-99, working hours of darban are reduced to 8 ½ hours per day. In his cross-examination, Shri

Tiwari says his affidavit was prepared by Advocate. He was appointed as darban. Appointment letter was received by

him. Working hours are not mentioned in the appointment letter as per law. Labour has to work 8 hours per day. The

dispute is raised claiming overtime from 3-11-77 to 29-8-99. The dispute was raised before ALC in Feb 2001. The

witness was unable to tell how many hours he worked in November, December 77. Without record, he was unable to

tell exact hours of his working. During 1977 to 99, he worked sometimes for 8 hours and some times for 8 ½ hours.

The working hours were changing as per the orders. Management did not issue order for overtime working. That

general orders were issued. In May 1998, they had raised demand with the management claiming overtime from

December 1977. In 1999, overtime was paid to them. He denies that overtime allowance was paid to him for overtime

working hours he had worked.

8.

Witness Rathram S/o Khappalram filed identical affidavit of his evidence. In his cross, he says he received

appointment letter. Conditions of appointment were written. Appointment is not produced. He knows all 137 workers.

All workers are working under him. He is working as subedar Darban. Laim under dispute is of the period when he was

working as Darban. In his cross, he has given names of 19 employees working as darban with him. He was unable to

tell complete name of Tiwari. That Anant Ram was not terminated from service. He is working as security darbar.

Witness has denied that A.R.Tiwari was dismissed from service and as per award passed by this Tribunal, he was

reinstated . He denied that Anant Ram Tiwari was transferred from VFJ to GCF and retired. Witness claims ignorance

whether any matter pertaining to A.R.Tiwari is pending in Court. That Darban are working in 3 shifts. Witness denied

that each shift is of 8 hours. When darban in other shift comes for duty, darbanfrom earlier shift are relieved. That

darbans are getting benefit of 4 holidays, 8 CL, 31 EL, 20 days Medical Leave. In each of the shift, darbans are

required to work half hour overtime but wages are not paid for it.

9.

Evidence of affidavit is also filed by Shri Dixit. In his cross-examination, Shri P.K.Dixit says that he filed

affidavit on behalf of all the workers/ darban. He doesnot know date of appointment of other darbans. He was

appointed under rule of emergency service. Appointment letter was received by him. He did not remember duty hours

mentioned in appointment letter. That since 1983 to 99, he worked 9 hours per day. Thereafter overtime work was

increasing duty hours were increasing. Separate order for overtime was received. The overtime wages were paid for

overtime work. It is not possible for him to tell his working hours during 1983 to 1999.

10.

Management filed affidavit of evidence of Shri Sudhir Prasad Works Manager of GCF. That the claim of Ist

party is upto 29-8-99. In his affidavit, management’s witness says Shri A.R.Tiwari , Rathram and Dixit are not aware

of the date of appointment of other persons and unable to tell period of overtime work. That workers were paid

overtime for 4 working more than 48 hours. Management’s witness in his cross says from 2-5-99, he is posted at GCF

that he not seen terms of reference. 137 employees shown in the list, date of their initial appointment was seen by him.

Witness corrected that he had not seend ate of their initial appointment. The duty hours for a week are decided every

year. Witness shown his willingness to show documents pertaining to duty hours for darban that he not seen old records

about duty hours. Security Officer was issuing order of duty hours. Document Exhibit W-1 to W-1(h) , W-2,3 are

admitted in evidence. Though affidavit of Prem Prakash is filed, he has not appeared for cross-examination, his

evidence cannot be considered. So far as the documents Exhibit W-1 is duty chart for darban issued for period 5-01-97

to 11-1-97. His duty period is shown 7.15 AM to 16.15 hours, 14.30 to 23.30 hours. In Exhibit W-1(a) duty chart for

the period 29-6-97 to 5-7-97 duty hours are shown 7 hours to 15.30 hours, 15 hours to 23.30 hours, 23 to 7.30 hours.

8.30 hours per day. Exhibit W-1(b)(c) duty hours are shown 7.30 hours to 16.30, 14.30 to 23.30, 23 to 8.30 hours.

Similar duty hour are shown in Exhibit W-1(d,e,f,g,h) Evidence of witnesses of Ist party is not clear, not cogent and

clear that they were required to work during lunch period. In absence of such evidence, claim of Ist party for overtime

wages cannot be accepted. Ist party has filed affidavit of only 3 witnesses. It is difficult to believe that remaining

darbans were working during lunch period and as such all workers are not entitled for overtime wages claimed by Ist

party Union . For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.

11.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The demand of Union for payment of OTA to Darbans ( as per list attached) from the date of their

appointment upto 29-8-99 for duty performed during lunch hour that is duty performed in excess of 48

hours per week is not proper and legal.

(2)

Workmen are not entitled to any relief.

12.

Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per rules.

remained dormant to adduce its evidence.

In want of which only “No dispute Award” award can be passed.

Workman adduced his evidence but none appeared on behalf of management on 26.04.2013 and 3.1.2017 for

fixed for cross-examination of workman /management evidence. On 23.10.2013 none for management appeared. Hence

right of cross-examination with workman has been closed.

(ii)

3943

Which was allowed on 11.03.2014 as it was not opposed and order dated 23.10.2013 was set-aside and

workman was cross-examined and his cross-examination concluded.

Thereafter evidence of workman has been closed and fixed 21.04.2014 for management /evidence. Affidavit of

MW filed on 2.09.2014 Sh. Lalit Kumar, Copy of which supplied to workman. Fixed 27.10.2014 for tendering of

affidavit and cross-examination of MW. But 27.10.2014 , 1.12.2014, 9.1.2015, 13.02.2015, 24.3.2015, 1.5.2015 &

13.07.2015 were fixed either on request of both parties or on the request of management. Even then affidavit of MW1

Sh. Lalit Kumar was not tendered by management. So I on 20.08.2015 closed the right of evidence of management and

16.09.2015 for arguments Sh. B. S. Chauhan , Ld. A/R for the management took few adjournment but none turn up to

argue the case. Hence on 19.1.2016 I reserved the award with liberty to file written arguments or orally argued by Ld.

A/R for the management. Subsequently Ld. A/R’s for the parties filed written arguments. On 21.03.2016 I passed

detailed order deciding enquiry issue i.e. Preliminary Issue no. 3 in favour of workman and against management. But

in the light of settled law of Hon’ble Supreme Court I fixed 31.03.2016 to prove misconduct of workman by

management and rebuttal evidence by workman.

On 9.8.2016 management tendered affidavit of MW1 Sh. S.N. Kapoor and his cross-examination was deferred

to 28.09.2016 who was cross-examined on 24.10.2016 .

On 24.10.2016 MW1 was cross-examined and his cross-examination was concluded and MW2 tendered its

affidavit and his cross-examination is deferred to 10.11.2016.

On 10.11.2016 MW2 Sh. Firoz Sethy , was cross-examined and his cross-examination was concluded.

On 10.11.2016 Ld. A/R for the workman on the instruction of workman refused to adduce evidence of workman

inrebuttal.

Hence I fixed 5.12.2016 for arguments.

On 5.12.2016 I was on leave. Hence 15.12.2016 was fixed for arguments. On 15.12.2016 management moved

four applications. Copies of which supplied to Ld. A/R for the workman. Objection was invited and put up for disposal

on aforesaid applications on 24.01.2017.

On 24.01.2017 reply by workman filed alongwith written submissions.

I orally heard and fixed 31.01.2017 for order.

On 31.01.2017 I passed detailed order rejected application No. 1 , 2 & 4 moved on behalf of management. I

disposed of 3rd application moved on behalf of management u/s 151 CPC read with ID Act with prayer to transfer case

to some other Tribunal cum Labour court , which I disposed off on the ground that this Tribunal is not empowered in

this respect.

Moreover I found management Bank of Baroda defaulter as per provision of Sub Rule (9) of Rule 10-B

Industrial Disputes (Central) Rules , 1957 .

However I reserved the award on 31.01.2017 and permitted Ld. A/R for the management Bank Of Baroda to file

written arguments in reply of written arguments of workman before passing of award in this old I.D. of 20/2008.

Today, date is 2.05.2017 even then management has not filed its written argument.

Hence I am disposing off this old I.D. Case of 2008.

In the light of contentions of Ld. A/R for workman in his oral arguments and written arguments.I perused the

pleadings and evidence of parties on record including principles laid down in cited rulings on behalf of workman.

My Issuewise findings are as follows:-

Findings on issue no. 3

This issue as preliminary issue has been decided by me on 21.03.2016 through detailed order in favour of

workman and against management.

However I afforded opportunity to management to prove misconduct of workman by management.

Management after few dates examined MW1 Sh. S.N. Kapoor on 9.8.2016. Whose cross-examination was

concluded on 24.10.2016.

3944

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Management examined MW2 Sh. Firoz Shetty on 24.10.2016. Who tendered his affidavit and his cross-

examination was deferred to 10.11.2016. MW2 was cross-examined and his cross-examination concluded on

10.11.2016. Thereafter management closed its evidence.

Workman refused to adduce his evidence in rebuttal.

After perusal of evidence of MW1 and MW2 it is crystal clear that management could not prove misconduct of

workman. In want of evidence of management, workman refused to adduce his evidence in rebuttal.

Inwant of required, reliable and credible evidence of management to prove misconduct of workman . Finding of

21..03.2016 on Issue No. 3 is liable to be reaffirmed in favour of workman and against management of Bank of Baroda.

Which is accordingly decided.

Now I am deciding other issues.

On 6.1.2010 my Ld. Predecessor framed following two issues:-

1.

As per reference.

2.

Relief.

Aforesaid issue no. 1 includes in it following question of determination No. 1 mentioned in schedule of

reference:-

“Whether the action of the management of Bank of Baroda, through their General Manager, Zonal Office,

Northern Zone, 16 Sansad Marg, New Delhi -110001 in removing their workman. Sh. Anant Vir Jain , Ex-

Clerk form service with effect from 26.04.2006 is just , fair and legal? If so its effect?

Burden to prove Issue No. 1 lies on management.

It is admitted fact that departmental enquiry was conducted against workman Sh. Anant Vir Jain, Ex-Clerk

before his removal from services with effect from 26.04.2006.

In the instant case my Ld. Predecessor framed main issue No. 3 whether enquiry is just, fair and legal and

ordered it to decide as preliminary issue. Which was decided by me on 21.03.2016 in favour of workman and against

management of Bank of Baroda.

I afforded opportunity to management to prove misconduct of workman but management failed to prove it in

want of required, reliable and credible evidence. Hence I again reaffirmed the previous findings on issue No. 3.

So Issue no. 1 is liable to be decided in favour of workman and against management of Bank of Baroda. Which

is accordingly decided.

It is admitted fact that date of superannuation of workman was 31.08.2008 but she was removed on 26.04.2006 .

Question of determination no. 2 mentioned in schedule of reference as well as issue no. 2 framed by my Ld.

Predecessor is relating to relief.

Which is to be decided.

It is relevant to mention here that material issue no.3 relating to departmental enquiry and question of

determination in schedule of reference formulated as issue No.1. by my Ld. Predecessor have already been decided by

me in favour of workman and against management. So workman is entitled to relief of reinstatement with back wages

with 70% but workman has been removed from service by management on 26.04.2006 and he has been superannuated

on 31.08.2008.

So reinstatement of workman is not at all possible. But on this count workman is entitled for 70% back wages

since 26.04.2006 till his superannuation dated 31.08.2008 alongwith all retiremental benefits .

Issue No. 2 is liable to be decided in favour of workman and against management. Which is accordingly

decided.

Reference is liable to be decided in favour of workman and against management.

Claim statement is liable to be partly allowed. Which is accordingly decided with direction to management of

Bank of Baroda to comply the award within two month after expiry of period of available remedy against this award.

Award is accordingly passed.

Sub: Unedurable Behaviour of Branch Manager.

Respected Sir,

Since I joined branch some of problem I am facing shairing with you.

1.

B.M. pressurise me to go with him for KCC visit after 6.30 p.m. Two times I went with him and we returned

from there after 8.30 p.m. I say to B,M. that my parents doesn’t allow me to go outside branch after 8.30 p.m., he says

me if you can’t go then why did you come in this sector.

2.

I completed my work which is given to me, same day usually & do EOD approx. 6.30 p.m. after this I don’t

have work to do. I ask B.M. to go to home then he says you will not go home until I am in the branch. If I am till 9 p.m.

in branch then you have to stay here with me. Sir, after EOD I don’t have work then why should I stay here. Then B.M.

says Miss, if you will not stay then no work will be provided to you. This Branch doesn’t need you. B.M. says that I am

B.M. & you are officer, you have to be in branch until you are allowed to go.

3.

Branch Manager gave me gifts. When I refused to take them, then he told I am your Boss. You have to take

everything given by me.

One day he told me, if I kiss you then what will you do. Your eyes looks beautiful, I wish to kiss them. After I

refused he told that when I was in earlier branch there were two or three girls they never refused to me.

4.

As I am new here I don’t know about the limit of KCC. One day B.M. of Bank of India, Bundi made a call for

our branch & told that you are giving 50,000 limits for KCC for which you are not eligible. Some of customers told that

you are doing work with outside brokers for KCC.

Respected sir, as I am officer I have to face every customer. All they says this thing which is intolerable for me.

I can’t work in such kind of environment.

As I facing so many problems mentally, I am unable to continuous the work in such circumstances. As I notice

you, all the things, if anything wrong with me, then bank management will be responsible. I request you to please to do

the needful while considering all the things.

Date: 11/6/13

Signature illegible

(P.O., Bundi)”

3.

It has been alleged in para 6 of statement of claim that above noted complaint of Miss Neeru Jain is self

explanatory about seriousness of the crime, conduct of Branch Manager, Shri Vimal Kumar Bairwa & abuse & misuse

of his official capacity.

4.

In para 11 of statement of claim it has been alleged that Shri Vimal Kumar Bairwa came to Bharatpur branch as

Branch Manager after above noted occurrence of June, 2013 & harassed another lady employee Ms. Shalini Parihar at

Bharatpur branch. A complaint dated 30.1.2014 by Ms. Shalini Parihar regarding alleged harassment was submitted to

the General Secretary, Dena Bank Employees Union, Rajasthan followed by direct complaint dated 1.2.2014 to the

Zonal Manager, Dena Bank, Jaipur which reads as under :-

“The Zonal Manager,

Date- 1.02.14

Dena Bank, Jaipur.

Dear Sir,

Re- Objectionable behaviour of Shri Vimal Bairwa, Branch Manager.

I am highly upset on constant objectionable behaviour of above authority with me. Sir, off and on, for one

pretext or another he wants me to visit his cabin, stairs and expresses with indecent kind of body language and signals

and comments., He insits upon me to overstay in branch beyond duty hours and threatens that if I would not favour to

his desires, he would frame charges on officials duty related issues on me and ruin my career. He threatens that no

female can deny me.

Sir, I am only woman employee in this branch and can not share the stress I am facing from him. I am afraid he

can harm me in any way.

II

(ii)

3947

Please protect me and get me out from his control. I have already informed my union leaders about the incident.

I wish an action on such authority and in the meantime request you to please take out me from here to Jaipur or else

remove this man from this branch because I have heard that he is a dangerous man and has a history of harassing

women.

Hope an immediate action will be taken.

Yours faithfully,

Signature illegible

SHALINI PARIHAR

SWO BHARATPUR.”

5.

Due to inaction of management against above noted two complaints & based on the information dated 30.1.2014

by Ms. Shalini Parihar, SWO to General Secretary, Dena Bank Employees Union, Rajasthan, strike notice dated

7.10.2014 was given by union to go on strike in Dena Bank in the state of Rajasthan. Both, Dena Bank Employees

Union, Rajasthan, applicant no.1 & Dena Bank Officers Union, Rajasthan, applicant no.2 had jointly raised the issue of

complaints for taking action against Shri Vimal Kumar Bairwa, Manager against his act of sexually harassment &

reckless advances made by him against the lady complaints. The above noted reference for adjudication is the outcome

of conciliation proceeding which resulted into failure.

6.

In para 7 to 10 of the statement of claim reference has been made to different provisions of “THE SEXUAL

HARASSMENT OF WOMEN AT WORKPLACE (PREVENTION, PROHIBITION AND REDRESSAL) ACT,

2013” regarding definition of “SEXUAL HARASSMENT”,“WORKPLACE”, Procedure of making complaint, duty of

employer to appoint committee for investigation into the complaint & procedure to be followed before registering a

case under section 509, Indian Penal Code, 1860 & any other relevant provision of the code wherever applicable.

7.

It has been further alleged that section 11 of the above noted act of 2013 provides that when both the parties are

employees they shall be given an appropriate opportunity of hearing & a copy of the findings shall be made available to

both the parties to enable them to make representation against the findings before the committee. The Lady

complainants have not been provided the copy of report of internal committee for investigation. The internal committee

of the management of the bank responsible for investigating the matter for quite long time did not investigate & when

the matter was investigated it flouted the law by not providing the copy of findings to the complainant female

employees who are unaware about the report of investigation & in absence of copy of report they are unable to

represent their case against the report of the committee. It has been further alleged that if Shri Vimal Kumar Bairwa

was found guilty during investigation then bank must have moved ahead for reporting the matter to the police authority

for registration of case u/s 509 of Indian Penal Code which has not been done which indicates the manipulation by the

management to protect the Branch Manager, Shri Vimal Kumar Bairwa.

8.

In above circumstances, it has been prayed that copy of the findings of the investigation by committee carried

out in both the complaints of sexual harassment at workplace be provided to the victims.

9.

Notices were sent to the opposite party which has been served & acknowledgement relating to service is

available on the record of the file. On 31.5.2016 order was passed against the opposite party to proceed ex-parte

because service of notice against the opposite party was found sufficient. On 6.3.2017 affidavit in evidence has been

filed by applicant side along with documents. 13 Documents along with affidavit in evidence have been filed in which

photocopy of the above noted complaint dated 11.6.2013 by Ms. Neeru Jain is also one among them.

10.

Heard the argument of learned representative of the applicant Sh. Lokesh Mishra, General Secretary of the union

& perused the record carefully.

11.

It has been argued by Sh. Lokesh Mishra, General Secretary of the union that victims & complainants Miss

Neeru Jain, Probationary Officer & Ms. Shalini Parihar, SWO have not been provided with enquiry report relating to

their complaint & despite repeated demand management has failed to provide the copy. It has been further argued that

no complaint has been submitted by management to police for registering the case against Shri Vimal Kumar Bairwa

which indicates that management has protected the Branch Manager, Shri Vimal Kumar Bairwa & neither any reason

has been assigned by management for not sending the case for registration to the police nor copy of report has been

supplied to complainants.

12.

As far as the question of evidence in support of statement of claim is concerned the entire affidavit is uncrossed

examined testimony of the deponent Sh. Lokesh Mishra which supports the case of the applicant petitioner & there is

no reason to discard the evidence adduced by applicant. As far as the question of right of the two lady victims to have

the copy of enquiry report is concerned in this context provision of section 13 (1) of THE SEXUAL HARASSMENT

3948

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

OF WOMEN AT WORKPLACE (PREVENTION, PROHIBITION AND REDRESSAL) ACT, 2013 is relevant which

has been reproduced below :-

Inquiry report

“13.(1) On the completion of an inquiry under this Act, the Internal Committee or the Local

Committee, as the case may be, shall provide a report of its findings to the employer, or as the case may be, the District

Officer within a period of ten days from the date of completion of the inquiry and such report be made available to the

concerned parties.”

13.

The above noted provision clearly indicates that victims are entitled to the report relating to result of enquiry

conducted by the concerned committee. There is no documentary or otherwise evidence available on record to show

that victims have been provided with the copy of enquiry report. Document Ex7/1 filed along with affidavit is a letter

dated 26.2.2015 sent by Regional Labour Commissioner(Central), Jaipur to both the victims wherein both the victims

have been asked to answer whether they have written any letter to the union for securing the copy of enquiry report.

The victims have also been asked whether they want the copy of enquiry report from management of the bank. Miss

Neeru Jain has replied vide her letter dated 2.3.2015 wherein she has answered that she had written a letter to the union

for acquiring enquiry report & she has further alleged that she wants copy of enquiry report from the management of

the bank. From the perusal of the file it is clear that there is no evidence that both the ladies victims have got copy of

enquiry report. No such information or reply in this regard has been submitted by opposite party. From the above

discussion I am of the view that applicant has succeeded in proving that non supply of copy of enquiry report of sexual

harassment to both the ladies by management of Dena Bank, Dena Corporate Centre, Mumbai is unjust & illegal.

Applicant Union is entitled to get the copy of the enquiry report to be given to both the lady complainants. Rest of the

reliefs claimed in statement of claim are dismissed as devoid of merit. The claim petition of the applicant is accordingly

allowed.

14.

Award as above.

APPEARANCES :

Mr. A.K. Gupte, Advocate for first party

Mr. A.V. Satpute, Advocate for Second Party

AWARD

(Dated : 27.04.2017)

This is a reference referred by the Government of India, for adjudication of industrial dispute between The

Regional Manager, Dena Bank, Pune (First Party, for short) and Shri. Kamlakar Gulabrao Salvi (Second Party, for

short), U/s.2A of sub-sec-(1) of clause-(d) of Sec-10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 along with schedule of

demand which is as follows :-

"Whether the action of the management of Dena Bank in not regularising Shri. Kamlakar Gulabrao Salvi

on permanent basis is legal and justified ? If not, to what relief the concerned workman is entitled ?"

2.

After the receipt of the said reference to this Tribunal, notices were issued to both the parties. In response to that

Shri A.V. Satpute, Advocate filed appearance on behalf of the second party and Shri A.K. Gupte, Advocate for the first

party bank.

3.

The second party workman filed his statement of claim below Exh.U-2 and contended that he was employed as

peon in 1993 for Pune district, and thereafter he was deprived by the first party of his legal dues including permanency,

therefore he raised the dispute with the Asst. Commissioner of Labour (Central) Pune. It is further contended that, the

first party bank is a public sector undertaking called as Dena Bank.The local responsible officer for the employments

related matters etc., is the regional manager Dena bank. The first party is engaged in unfair labour practice. It is

contended that the second party was firstly employed by first party bank as badli peon from February 1993 following

the due selection procedure. He was interviewed by the selection panel and was promised to absorb in the employment.

Since then the second party workman is in the employment of the first party bank as badli peon.

4.

The second party further contended that, since February 1993 he worked with various branches of bank as

badli/temporary peon. The first party was not giving job regularly in order to deprive the second party the benefits in

the service like, permanency and other related benefits. At the same time bank has made permanent to other badli

persons who were junior to the second party and were not employed by following due selection process of the bank.

The second party further contended that, he has worked for last 14 years, the details are as per annexure attached

separately. The second party has worked for more than 240 days continuously in the year 2001 from February 2001 to

26/11/2001 total working days were 282 days.

5.

The second party further contended that, the personal department of Mumbai head office of first party bank

asked the information about the second party from the Zonal office for making him permanent, but no action taken by

the first party. It is further contended that, since the second party joined as a badli peon from February 1993 many of

the peons have retired, some of them have taken VRS, and about 20 of the peons were promoted as clerk, but still the

first party has not made second party neither permanent nor gave the badli/temporary job of peon. There are more than

10 badli peons working in the bank. The officers of the bank orally promised the second party that if he was interested

then he should check up every months for job with the bank.

The bank has not given job inbetween July 2003 and May 2007 though the second party belongs to schedule

caste, at sr.no.1 schedule caste category. The second party used to visit every month to the first party bank, but there

was no vacancy for him, therefore the second party issued legal notice to the first party bank on 22/02/2006, but it was

not replied by the first party bank. Therefore, the dispute is raised before the Asstt. Labour Commissioner (Central)

Pune. Before the conciliation officer, the first party bank submitted their reply and admitted most of the claim of the

second party. However, the first party failed to accept the demand of the second party, therefore, no amicable

settlement arrived in conciliation proceedings and the matter was referred in September 2006 before this Tribunal. It is

prayed that reference be admitted and accepted in toto regularise the services of the second party w.e.f. November

1993, and the first party be restrained from harassing the second party and be directed to pay due salary and overtime,

and further direct not to terminate/ discontinue the services of the second party untill the disposal of the reference.

6.

The first party bank opposed the claim by filing written statement below Exh.C-7 and denied all the allegations

made by the second party against them. It is stated that the present reference itself is not maintainable because it was

made under the presumption that the employer-employee relationship exists. The dispute is not an industrial dispute,

the second party is trying to get back-door entry in the employment of the first party bank, which is not permissible

under law. In the bank no post of peon was available, the relationship and status of workman as well as the period of

employment is denied. It is further stated that, the second party has never gone through the recruitment process, and

3950

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

also denied that second party has worked continuously more than 240 days in a year. It is also denied that, second party

was working from 1993 to 2001 continuously as a peon.

7.

The first party further stated that, the second party cannot be said to be a workman U/s.2(s) of the I.D. Act and

the present dispute cannot be treated as industrial dispute U/s.2(k) of the I.D. Act, & therefore, the preliminary issues

be framed for maintainability of the reference. And lastly prayed that reference is liable to be dismissed.

8.

Upon rival pleadings of the parties, the following Issues arise for my determination, and my findings to them are

as follows:

POINTS

FINDINGS

1

Whether the present reference is tenable ?

No;

2

Whether the action of the first party bank in not regularising the

second party in service is illegal ?

No;

3

If not, to what relief/award second party is entitled ?

As per final award.

REASONS

9.

Heard both the Ld. Advocates at length. Perused the oral as well as documentary evidence of both parties and

the case law relied by the parties, and I have gone through the voluminous record filed by the parties.

10.

It appears that initially in this reference award was passed on 10/03/2014 by my Ld. Predecessor and has

answered the award in affirmative, and held that second party is entitled to be made permanent w.e.f. 01/08/2007 and to

give the benefits of permanency accordingly, & permanency benefits shall include wages & allowances, etc as

applicable to the permanent employees.

11.

It also appears that, against the said award W.P. No.10024/2015 was filed before the Hon'ble High Court, and

the Hon'ble High Court by its order dated 24/06/2016 disposed of the petition in terms of following order-

(i)

The impugned award of the Industrial Tribunal dated 10/03/2014 is set aside and Ref.(IT) No.10/2007 is

remanded to the Industrial Tribunal, Pune for a fresh consideration in accordance with law. The interim

order passed by the Industrial Tribunal in the reference on 11/04/2008 shall continue to operate during

the pendency of the reference.

(ii)

All rights and contentions of the parties on merits are kept open, to be decided by the Industrial Tribunal

in the pending reference.

(iii)

In pursuance of the interim order referred to above, the Petitioner herein shall continue to employ the

respondent as a badli worker in Pune region.

(iv)

The Industrial Tribunal shall dispose of the pending reference as expeditiously as possible, and in any

event, within a period of six months from today.

12.

After remand of reference it was on board on 06/09/2016. On the said date the second party filed application

below Exh.U-25 for his transfer at Shivajinagar branch. To that the first party replied below Exh.C-18 and stated that

the second party joined at Satara branch on 11/11/2010 and still he is working. Thereafter the second party filed

amendment application below Exh.U-31 which was allowed, and the first party has filed additional written statement

below Exh.24 dated 16/12/2016.

13.

In order to prove his case, the second party has filed affidavit by way of examination in chief below Exh.U-37,

and stated that he has filed affidavit below Exh.U-8 & U-19 also be treated as his evidence, and he was duly cross-

examined by the first party bank, and thereafter filed the evidence closed pursis. The first party bank has filed the

affidavit by way of examination in chief below Exh.C-32 of Shri Rohit Jiniwal, Asst. General Manager of the bank. He

was duly cross-examined by the second party, and thereafter the first party submitted the evidence closed pursis on

record.

14.

The second party in his evidence stated as per the stand taken in the pleadings, and stated that initially he was

appointed as badli peon in February 1993 by the first party bank. He further stated that, he was selected by following

the due selection procedure, and other 8 candidates were also selected. He stated that he was registered with the

Employment Exchange. The first party had called candidates from Employment exchange as per the requirement, and

thereafter he was interviewed and selected. He stated that he worked in various branches of the bank as badli peon. He

further stated that others who were junior and some direct recruiters were given job. He further stated that the first party

bank has made permanent to other badli persons who were junior to him, and even though they were not appointed by

following the due procedure. He further stated that, he worked for more than 240 days continuously during the certain

II

(ii)

3951

period. He stated that in February 2001 to November 2001 he worked for 282 days, and from 05/01/2008 to

31/07/2009 he worked for 567 days, and during this period he received salary through bank; and from 05/08/1998 to

31/12/1998 he worked for 146 days. The second party further stated in evidence that, according to the circular of first

party dtd. 23/08/2001 submitted to conciliation officer on 13/06/2007 in which stated that an employee who completed

240 days has to be mad permanent, but till date the second party is in employment of the bank, but he was not made

permanent.

15.

The second party in his cross-examination below Exh.U-8, U-19 & U-37 admitted that he was not member of

any union. And also admitted that at first party bank A.I.B.A union is working and he is not member of the said union.

He admitted that the present reference is filed for permanency and he individually filed the same. He also admitted that

neither the union, nor any member of union has supported his case. He further admitted that he worked as "badli

employee" in leave period of regular employees and branch manager has no authority to appoint or recruit the regular

employees. Lastly he admitted that regular employees used to sign the muster, but he has not signed the muster

regularly. Further admitted that he has not filed on record his letter of appointment.

16.

As against this, the witness of the first party deposed at Exh.C-32 and has taken the stand as per the written

statement. The witness of first party stated that, second party has raised his dispute in his individual capacity and none

of the workmen or union functioning in the first party bank are supporting the second party, therefore there is no

industrial dispute and present reference is not maintainable, and second party has no right to raise such type of

industrial dispute. He further stated that, the first party bank is a public sector undertaking and making regular and

permanent employments, it is obligatory to the bank to follow the recruitment procedure. The witness further stated

that, the mode of recruitment of sub staff would be through calling the applications from respective district employment

exchange of the concerned state in which the recruitment would be made. The selection of sub staff would be on the

basis of interview only. The witness further stated that, the second party was never informed by employment exchange.

The second party was deputed in leave of sub-staff as badli sub-staff. The second party was never appointed by

following the due process of recruitment, and he never completed continuous service of 240 days in any year. It is

denied that second party was continuously working from 1993. The second party was not given appointment letter, and

he is not eligible for permanent employment of the first party bank.

17.

The witness was duly cross-examined by the second party. But none of the documents filed on record are

referred to the witness, nor they are exhibited and nor they are admitted by the first party bank, only xerox copies of the

documents are filed on record. The second party has failed to put his case and prove his contention as per the pleadings

in the statement of claim. The pleadings in the statement of claim and documents on record and cross-examination of

witness of the first party and evidence adduced by second party on record are contradictory to each other. The

voluminous documents are filed on record by both the parties, especially the second party though filed documents, but

some documents are neither exhibited nor proved, and they are neither supporting the pleadings of the second party,

therefore they are not liable to be taken into consideration.

18.

But some documents which are filed below Exh.U-20 they are application dated 22/08/2005 which is under the

RTI Act. At page-6 copy of circular dated 23/08/2001. Copy of bank account of second party, at page-15 internal

communication of first party bank and page-17 letter of January 1999 is produced on record which is self-explanatory.

And the said letter is addressed to first party bank asking for permanent employment in the bank, and it is stated that

from 1993 to 1999 he worked at various branches for total 328 days. This letter is sufficient to drawn inference that

second party was not continuously working at any branch of the first party bank. At page-49 copy of notice issued by

the Advocate on behalf of the second party dated 22/02/2006 is the demand notice of second party. That notice is self-

explanatory and from 1995 to 1998 and from July 2003 till 22/02/2006 he was not provided work by the first party. At

page-52 it is reply of the bank dated 13/06/2006 filed before the conciliation officer, at page-53 is the copy of

settlement between the bank and the union. This document is contradictory to the pleadings of the second party.

Remaining all documents are from year 2007 till onwards and they are not relevant to the present reference, but still

they are filed on record.

From the above documents one can safely draw the inference that, the second party is changing his stand each

and every time as per his convenience, and on perusal of the statement of claim, it reveals that second party is claiming

regularisation from 1993.

19.

The present dispute is referred by the Central Government regarding regularisation and permanency of the

second party. Therefore, whatever is stated in prayer clauses of the statement of claim is not much relevant. This

tribunal requires to consider what is legal and settled position of law. It should not be ignored that the reference is

forwarded under clause-(d) of Sub-Sec-(1) of Sub-Sec-2A of Sec-10 of the I.D. Act. It is therefore necessary to see

Section-2A of the I.D. Act. I have gone through the said section 2A and from bare perusal of the section it reveals that

it for dismissal, discharge of workman. But in the present case according to the second party he is in the employment

from 1993. Therefore, it is necessary to mention here that what is industrial dispute U/s.2k of the Act. From the bare

perusal of the Section-2k it relates to dispute or difference between employers & employers,employers & workmen,

3952

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

workmen & workmen. But the reference referred is in the individual capacity of the second party workman. The order

of the reference is dated 10/07/2007 U/s.10- of Section-2A(d) of the I.D. Act, thereby referred for adjudication of

demands raised by the individual workman i.e. second party along with schedule pursuant to the said impugned order

of reference No.L-12012/122/2006-IR(B-II) Government of India, came to be registered as Ref.(IT) No.10/2007 before

this Tribunal. The first party bank filed written statement below Exh.C-7 and raised objection that reference is not

maintainable as dispute referred for adjudication in the said reference was at the behest of the individual workman and

unless such dispute was raised by the trade union registered under the Trade Unions Act, 1926, the reference to not

have been raised.

20.

It is not disputed that, the second party in his individual capacity addressed the letter to the Asstt. Labour

Commissioner (Central) Pune on 22/06/2006 and raised the grievances that he is entitled to be regularised in the

employment of the bank. He also pointed out that, he has completed 240 days continuous service and juniors are made

permanent. He was selected by the approved panel of badli peon, and there were nine candidates including the second

party, on the approved panel of badli peon/sepoy and second party was at Sr.No.1 in the scheduled caste category. The

badli peons are absorbed in the regular services of the bank only when permanent vacancy arises in the category,

otherwise he will continue as badli till vacancies arises. The second party is still in the employment as badli peon of

the bank.

21.

The dispute was not sponsored or taken up by any trade union, despite the fact that there is A.I.B.A. union and

the registered trade union of the bank employees representing the employees of the first party bank. The conciliation

proceedings were held and the Asstt. Commissioner of Labour, (Central) submitted his failure report. As per Sec-2(A)

of the I.D. Act, if it is presumed that it was U/s.2(k) of the Act, the "industrial disputes" means any dispute or

difference between employer & employer, or employer & workman, or between workman & workman which is

connected with the employment or non-employment or the terms of employment or with the conditions of labour of any

person. The Sec-2(a) which was added in the scheme of the Act w.e.f. 01/12/1965 provided for an individual

workman's disputes and it states as - (i) where any employer discharges, dismissed, retrenched or otherwise terminates

the services of the individual workman, any dispute or difference between that workman and his employer connected

with or arising out of such discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or termination shall be deemed to be an industrial

dispute. Notwithstanding that no other workmen nor any union of the workmen is party to the dispute.

22.

From the bare perusal, it is clear that the scheme of the Act provides for individual dispute to be referred for

adjudication only in case of discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or otherwise termination of services of an individual

workman. The grievances raised by the second party in his representation to the Asstt. Commissioner of Labour,

(Central) was not regarding the termination of his services by any mode i.e. discharge, dismissal or retrenchment either

orally or in writing.

23.

It is necessary to mention here that, the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Workmen V/s. Hindustan Lever

Ltd., reported in 1984-(4)-SCC-395 observed that, "4: Section-10(1) confers power on the appropriate Government to

refer an existing or apprehended industrial dispute amongst other to the Industrial Tribunal for adjudication. The

dispute therefore which can be referred for adjudication of necessity has to be an industrial dispute which would clothe

the appropriate Government with power to make the reference, and the Industrial Tribunal to adjudicate it.

24.

The present dispute referred which was raised by the second party, it does not amount to industrial disputes as

defined under the I.D. Act. Obviously, the appropriate government has no power to make reference of such dispute for

adjudication. According to the Schedule of the reference as reproduced above, undoubtedly, it was not an industrial

dispute as defined under Section-2(k) or 2(A) of the Act. Therefore it could not have been referred, the reference order

of the Government itself is void.

25.

The Ld. Advocate for the first party has relied on the observations of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of

State of Punjab V/s. The Gondhara Transport Co.P. Ltd., reported in 1975-LAB.IC-358-SC; wherein the Hon'ble

Supreme Court has held that,

"the espousing of the cause of the workmen was only by five workmen who were, at the relevant time

actually in the employment of the company i.e. the proportion was five to sixty. Such an espousal could

not be considered to be by an appreciable or substantial body of workmen so as to constitute the

dispute an industrial dispute. Hence there being no industrial dispute the reference made by the State

Government was in-competent".

He further relied on the observations of the Hon'ble Bombay High Court in W.P. No.10023/2015 between Dena

Bank V/s. Sarjerao Khandagale, decided on 09/02/2016, and the para-5 of the said judgment is very much relevant to

the case in hand. It is necessary to reproduce the same as under:

"The next question that needs to be addressed is: whether the Tribunal committed any manifest error

in answering the Reference partly in favour of the workman so as to require the Management to treat

the concerned workman as permanent employee. This question will have to be answered keeping in

II

(ii)

3953

mind the exposition of the Apex Court in the case of Telecom District Manager & Ors V/s. Keshab

Deb reported in (2008) II CLR 492. In para-22 of this decision, the court has noted that the service of

the respondent therein was terminated on the ground that he committed misconduct, without affording

opportunity of being heard. The Apex Court went on to observe that while, however, granting the

relief, the superior courts should take into consideration the factors relevant therefore, such as

recruitment of the respondent was ex-facie illegal as prior to thereto neither any advertisement was

issued nor the employment exchange was notified in regard to the vacancy. Further, whether the

respondent had even got himself registered with the local employment exchange and thirdly, that

being a daily-rated casual employee, did not have any right to continue in service. In para-23, the

Apex court went on to observe as follows:

"23. Even in a case where an order of termination is illegal, an automatic direction for

reinstatement with full back wages is not contemplated. He was at best entitled to one month's

pay in lieu of one month's notice and wages of 15 days of each completed year of service as

envisaged U/s.25F of the Industrial Disputes Act. He could have been directed to be regularised

in service or granted any/given a temporary status. Such a scheme has

been

held

to

be

unconstitutional by this court in A. Umarani V/s. Registrar, Co-op. Societies and Secy. State of

Karnatak V/s. Umadevi".

26.

In the present reference, after perusing the oral evidence of the parties, I found that the second party has

admitted that no appointment order was issued, neither he had signed any muster-roll, nor he was recommended by the

Employment exchange. From this it is clear that, his employment was not from the regular stream of appointment, and

such recruitment would be ex-facie illegal as no prior advertisement was issued, nor the employment exchange was

notified in regard to the vacancy. Moreover being a daily-rated, badli, casual employee such as second party would not

get any right to continue in service in the first party bank.

27.

The Ld. Advocate for first party further relied on the case law between Ramakrishan Kamat V/s. State of

Karnataka & Ors., reported in 2003-I-CLR-803-SC, wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court in para-7 of the said judgment

observed that,

"while being sympathetic to the persons who come before the court the courts cannot at the same time

be unsympathetic to the large number of eligible persons waiting for a long time in a long queue

seeking employment. The Ld. single judge in this view, rightly so in our opinion, held that, "in such

situation it is difficult to accept the plea of the petitioner that they were appointed against regular post

and appointment orders would clearly indicate that the appointment of the teachers was purely

temporary and on honorarium basis subject to its approval by the State Government and petitioners

have not produced any document to show that their appointment has been approved by State

government. Hence the petitioners are not entitled to regularisation".

Considering all above case law referred by the first party, the facts in the present case and the facts in the

referred cases are same and these case law are helpful to the case of the first party bank.

28.

The Ld. Advocate for the second party relied on the two case law between Gopal Krishnaji Ketkar V/s.

Mohamed Haji Latif, reported in AIR-SC-1968-1413, on the point of adverse inference; and the second case law is

between Hari Nandan Prasad V/s. Employer I/R to Management of Fci, reported in 2014-I-CLR-919, on the point of

regularisation. These two case law filed by the second party instead of supporting their case, it is supporting the case of

the first party bank.

In Hari Nandan Prasad case (Supra) in para-34 the Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed as under:

"On harmonious reading of the two judgments discussed in detail above,we are of the opinion that

when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice the Labour Court would

not give direction for regularising only because a worker has continued as daily wage worker/adhoc/

temporary worker for number of years. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularising would be impermissible. In the aforesaid circumstances giving of direction to regularise

such a person, only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager etc. may

amount to back-door entry into the service which is an anathema to Art-14 of the Constitution. Further,

such a direction would not be given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility

requirement of the post in question as per the Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that

similarly situated workmen are regularised by the employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and

the workmen in question who have approached Industrial/Labour Court are at par with them, direction

of regularisation in such cases may be legally justified, otherwise, non-regularisation of the left over

workers itself would amount to invidious discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative

3954

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

of Art-14 of the Constitution. Thus, the Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality by

upholding Art-14, rather than violating this constitutional provision".

Hence the pleading in the statement of claim and the evidence adduced before the Tribunal are totally on

different facts. Therefore, the case law relied by the second party in my view is not helpful to his case. What is pleaded

is not proved, and what is arged is not pleaded in the statement of claim. The case of the second party is that, he is in

service from 1993 as 'badli' peon. The statement of claim is self explanatory, that he was not appointed as per

recruitment process, and he was not given appointment letter at all, and he is working on leave vacancies, if any

permanent employee of bank is on leave.

29.

The law is settled that, there cannot be a case of regularisation without there being a employer-employee

relationship. The direction for regularisation,absorption or permanent, continuance unless the employee claiming

regularisation had been appointed in pursuance of a regular recruitment in accordance with relevant rules in an open

competitive process, against the sanctioned vacant posts. Considering the entry of second party in bank as badli peon

itself indicates that he is not entitled for regularisation in employment.

30.

The second party has miserably failed to prove and establish that, the action of the management of Dena Bank in

not regularising him on permanent post is illegal, and therefore in my opinion all Issues should be answered in the

negative. Hence, I accordingly answer these Issues in the negative and proceed to pass following award.

-: AWARD :-

1.

The reference is answered in the negative.

2.

No orders as to cost.

3.

Copies of award be sent to Government for necessary action.

Place: Pune.

Ex-parte AWARD

Reference No. L-42011/43/2016-IR(DU) was sent to this Tribunal on 6.5.2016 by Ministry of Labour, Govt. of

India, New Delhi. Which received in this Tribunal on 15.06.2016.

Which was register as I.D. No. 41/2016 and notices to parties were issued for filing of claim statement on

22.07.2016.

Claimant/workman appeared on 22.07.2016 and filed his claim statement alongwith its copy to be supplied to

respondent. I fixed 15.09.2016 for written statement.

On 15.09.2016 only workman came but none came on behalf of respondent nor undelivered registered letter

containing notice of respondent returned back.

However workman expressed his desire to move an application to presume the service of notice on management.

He sought time to move such application.

Hence case was adjourned to 26.09.2016.

On 26.09.2016 workman moved an application to presume service of notice on management before lunch. I

called upon report from office after lunch. Which was submitted by office. So I passed detailed order after lunch

presuming service of notice on respondent and fixed 19.10.2016 for ex-parte evidence of workman.

On 19.10.2016 workman in his ex-parte evidence tendered his affidavit.

I fixed 21.11.2016 workman expressed his desire to file written arguments hence I fixed 26.12.2016.

But workman has filed his written argument on 22.12.2016. So I reserved the award on 26.12.2016.

According to schedule of reference following questions of determination are to be determined.

1.

Whether the action of the management of AIIMS in not issuing the experience certificate to Sh. Bachan

Singh Rana for period he has rendered services with the management as Mechanic (AC and refrigeration)

on daily wages i.e. January 1995 to August , 2003, is not justified?

2.

It so what relief the workman is entitled to and what directions are necessary in this respect?

Inwant of pleadings and evidence of management of AIIMS my question of determination –wise findings are as

follows:-

Findings on question of determination No. 1

Burden to prove question of determination No. 1 lies on workman.

To prove it he filed his affidavit in his evidence. Which was tendered by him alongwith copies of documents.

None on behalf of management came to cross-examine his versacity. Hence testimony of workman is unrebutted hence

reliable and credible. So it comes within the purview of required evidence.

On the basis of which question of determination No. 1 is liable to be decided in favour of workman and against

management of AIIMS.

Findings on question of determination No. 2

Question of determination No.2 relates to relief to workman.

As question of determination No. 1 has already been decided in favour of workman and against management .

Hence question of determination No. 2 which in respect of relief workman is also liable to be decided in favour

of workman and workman is entitled for relief of grant of experience certificate as demanded by him from management

of AIIMS and management is directed to issue it to workman.

Reference is liable to be decided in favour of workman and against management of AIIMS.

Which is accordingly decided and claim statement is allowed.

Ex-parte Award is here-by passed with direction to management to issue experience certificate to workman

within two month after expiry of available remedy against this ex-parte Award.

II

(ii)

3957

4.

That, however, without considering the reply filed by the workman and without extending an opportunity of

being heard to the workman the management removed him from service vide order dt. 22.4.15 and instituted the

present OP No.____/15 U/s 33 (2) (b) of the I D Act, 1947 seeking approval of the action taken against the

workman.

5.

That since no enquiry has been held against the workman the application u/s 33 (2) (b) filed by the management

against the workman is liable to be dismissed at the threshold itself.

6.

That, however, it is also humbly submitted that even if this Hon’ble Court comes to the conclusion that the

present O P is maintainable , in the present circumstances, then the management would have to prove the charges

against the workman before this Hon’ble Court for which extensive evidence needs to be adduced which may

take considerable time.

7.

That the very purpose of the management in removing the workman from service without holding any domestic

enquiry was to avoid making payment of subsistence allowance to the workman during the pendency of the

enquiry proceedings. By approaching this Hon’ble Court after removing the workman from service without

holding an enquiry the management is harassing him by snatching away his valuable right to payment of

subsistence allowance during the domestic enquiry so that he is made to surrender before the management.

8.

That it is an accepted principle in industrial law that in case the enquiry is vitiated and set aside or no enquiry is

held and if the charges are to be proved before the court then the workman is entitled for subsistence allowance

during the pendency of the proceedings before the Hon’ble Court.

9.

That it is also humbly submitted that as per the rules of the management also no workman could be

dismissed/removed from service without holding an enquiry into the charges.

10.

That the management has dismissed/removed the workman from service without holding any enquiry to avoid

payment of subsistence allowance to him and to cause further harassment to him since the management is aware

that the workman would not be in a position to defend the present proceedings in the absence of any subsistence

allowance as he is depending on his wages for daily survival and he is the only earning member of his family.

11.

That as per their own rules the management is liable to make payment subsistence allowance to the workman @

75% of the last drawn monthly wages of a workman during domestic enquiry proceedings into allegations of

misconduct. Under the above circumstances, the workman is entitled to receive 75 % of his last drawn wages as

subsistence allowance by way of interim relief to enable him to survive and to defend the present proceedings.

12.

That the Hon’ble Supreme Court in case of M/s Sasa Musa Sugar Mills Vs. Shobrati Khan 1959 AIR (SC) 923

has held that even if the case against the workman is up held by the Court the would be entitled for subsistence

allowance during the pendency of proceedings before the Court since the enquiry is being conducted before the

Hon’ble Court only.

13.

That the management has not conducted the domestic enquiry against the workman and the enquiry into the

charges levelled against the workman has to be conducted before this Hon’ble Court. It is, therefore, incumbent

upon the management to make payment of wages to the workman during the pendency of the proceedings this

Hon’ble Court.

PRAYER

In view of the above, it is most humbly prayed that this Hon’ble court may be pleased to pass an interim award in favor

of the workman and against the management directing the management to make payment of subsistence allowance to

the workman every month at the rate of 75% of his last drawn wages, during the pendency of the present case in the

interest of justice.

Which was registered as ID.No.59/2015. Registered notice of workman was issued for filing written statement on

3.07.2015.

On 3.07.2015 workman filed reply. Contents of reply are as follows:-

PRELIMINARY SUBMISSIONS

1.

The workman denied to charges vehemently and vide his letter dt.19.1.15 and 30.1.15 brought to the notice of the

management the true facts of the case. However, without giving an opportunity to the workman the management

removed him from service on 22.4.15

2.

It is humbly submitted that no enquiry has been held with respect to the charges leveled against the workman.

Therefore, no application u/s 33 (2) (b) could have been filed by the management after removing the workman

from service without holding a management after removing the workman from service without holding a

domestic enquiry against the workman. The present application filed by the management is, therefore, liable to

dismissed on this ground alone.

3958

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

3.

Without prejudice to the above it is also humbly submitted that one full month’s wages along with the other

pending dues has not been paid to the workman thereby making the removal not in conformity with Section 33

(2) (b) of the I D Act.

4.

Without prejudice to the above, it is further humbly submitted that the punishment imposed on the workman by

the management is disproportionate as compared to the allegations made against him.

5.

Without prejudice to the above, it is further humbly submitted that the punishment imposed on the workman is by

way of victimization on account of his trade union activities. The workman has been an important activist of the

Cambata Aviation Workers Union ( Regd.) and the charges levelled against him are false and fabricated. The

action against the workman is motivated only by the intention to put a stop to the trade union activities of the

workman.

REPLY PARAWISE

Without prejudice to the above preliminary objections, the parawise reply of the workman to the application

filed by the management u/s 33 (2) (b) of the I D Act is as under:-

1.

Para No. 1 needs no reply.

2.

With respect to the contents of para No. 2 AND 3 of the application of the management, it is humbly submitted

that the contents of the same are wrong and are hence denied.

3.

With respect to the contents of para No. (4) of the application of the management, it is humbly submitted that the

contents of the same are wrong and are hence denied. The contents of the charge sheet issued to the workmen

were false, fabricated and with a malafide intention to victimize the workmen for his trade union activities. It is

denied that the workman ever resorted to any strike as alleged by the management or at all. There was no strike

by the employees as alleged by the management. The workman had brought to the notice of the management the

correct facts vide his reply dt. 19.1.15 and 30.1.15 to the charge sheet. However, without considering the same

the management removed the workman from service.

4.

With respect to the contents of para No. 5 of the application it is humbly submitted that there was no reason why

the management could have avoid holding a domestic enquiry in to the charges against the workman. It is

vehemently denied that in the present situation holding of domestic enquiry into the charges has not been found

to be practicable/feasible, hence the holding of enquiry has been dispensed with. It is denied that workman’s

further continuation in service is not considered to be in the interest of the Company. No such extenuating

circumstances to avoid the enquiry existed. The only reason why the management avoided the enquiry was to

escape was to eacape the liability of making payment of subsistence allowance to the workman during the

pendency of the enquiry proceedings.

5.

With respect to the contents of para No. 6 of the application, it is humbly submitted that the contents of the same

are wrong and are vehemently denied. The penalty of removal from service was imposed on the workman on

account of his trade union activities and to remove from the scene a pillar of strength of the union. It is humbly

submitted that no full wages for one month has been paid to the workman by the management in compliance with

Section 33 (2) (b) of the I D Act.

6.

With respect to the contents of para No. 7 of the application, it is humbly submitted that the management was

liable to hold a domestic enquiry into the charges against the workman and also to fulfill other conditions

precedent to removing the workman from service before application u/s 33 (2) (b) of the I D Act may be filed. It

is vehemently denied that the management could be permitted to hold an enquiry into the charges before this

Hon’ble Court in the matter after they have removed the workman from service without holding any enquiry.

7.

With respect to the contents of para No. 8 of the application, it is humbly submitted that the contents of the same

are wrong and denied. It is humbly submitted that there is non-compliance with the mandatory provisions of

section 33 (2) (b) of the I D Act by the management.

8.

With respect to the contents of para No. 9 of the application, it is humbly submitted that the contents of the same

are wrong and denied. It is humbly submitted that the miss-conduct against the workman is connected with the

same dispute pending before this Hon’ble Court and the management has removed the workman from service to

prevent the workman from persuing I D No. 122/12 pending before this Hon’ble Tribunal.

The prayer made by the management is devoid of merit or substance. The workman has been victimized for his

trade union activities. No enquiry has been held in the matter without which the management could not have filed

an application u/s 33 (2) (b) of the I D Act.

In view of the above, it is humbly submitted that the application u/s 33 (2) (b) filed by the management may be

rejected in the interest of justice.

II

(ii)

3959

On 10.08.2015 rejoinder on behalf of management of Cambata Aviation has been filed. Through which contents of

application of management of Cambata Aviation has been reaffirmed.

On 14.03.2016 I framed following three issues as follows:—

i.

Whether removal of Sh. Satpal from the services is justified? If so, its effect?

ii.

Whether the application of management /applicant under section 33(2)(b) of the I.D. Act 1947 is

maintainable? If so its effect?

iii.

To what relief the workman is entitled to and from which date.

And fixed 17.05.2016 for management evidence. On 17.05.2016 management filed affidavit of Management

witness Sh. C.S Madan alongwith its copy.

I fixed 27.07.2016 for tendering of affidavit and cross-examination of management evidence.

On 27.07.2016 workman has not turn up. Case proceeded ex-parte against him.

Statement of MW1 Sh. C.S Madan, tendered his affidavit and his cross-examination was marked Nil as none turn

up to cross-examine him.

Management filed written arguments on 28.09.2016.

Contents of written arguments are as follows:-

1.

Mr. Satpal, the workman, joined was the Management as a Trainee Utility Hand Grade II w.e.f.25 August 2007

vide letter No. CAPL/PER/1492/2007 dated 24 August 2007 (Ex MW1/1). Thereafter, he was put on probation

w.e.f. 01 March 2008 as Utility Hand Grade II vide letter No. CAPL/PER/1492/2008 dated 29 February 2008 (Ex

MW1/2) and subsequently was confirmed in the said post w.e.f. 01 October 2008 vide letter No.

CAPL/PER/1492/2008 dated 01 October 2008 (Ex MW1/3). The workman was promoted as Driver cum Utility

Hand Grade II w.e.f. 01 November 2010 vide letter No. CAPL/PER/1492/2010 dated 16 November 2010 (Ex

MW1/4).

2.

The workman was issued Charge Sheet No. CAPL/PER/1492/2015 dated 14 January 2015 (Ex MW1/5) for the

following acts of omission and commission :-

(i)

Coercing and/or instigating the workers for unlawful cessation of work and resorting to strike and for their

subversive conduct/behavior at the IGI Airport, Delhi.

(ii)

Unauthorized and without permission entry into the Airport premises when not on duty thereby misuse of

the Airport Entry Pass (AEP).

(iii) Loss of confidence and /or faith.

(iv) Causing financial loss to the Company.

(v)

Failure of observe Airport rules.

(vi) An act subversive of decency and discipline.

(vii) An act prejudicial or likely to be prejudicial to the interest and /or reputation of the Company/Management.

(viii) Loss of goodwill and loss of reputation.

(ix) Threat to Airport security by entering into the IGI Airport when not on duty.

3.

The charges levelled against the workman were based on documentary record viz. CCTV footage/photographs

and statements of eyewitnesses during the period of wild cat unjustified, unwarranted, uncalled for and unlawful

strike resorted to by the employees on being incited and instigated by the workman and other union leaders to

resort to the aforesaid illegal strike which seriously affected the operational work of the Company besides

causing financial loss of over Rupees one crore.

4.

On being incited and instigated by the union viz. Cambata Aviation Karamchari Union (Regd.), a mob of 150 to

200 unruly and agitated employees of the company had gathered on 03 September 2014 at the Corporate Office

of the Company situated at unit 9 and 9A III Floor, Vasant Square Mall, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi and again in

the offices of Asstt. Labour Commissioner (Central) and Regional Labour Commissioner (Central) situated on

the IV Floor, Jeevan Deep Building, Parliament Street, New Delhi on 15 September 2014. The said mob was

throughout present inside and outside the offices of ALC and RLC (Central) since the morning of 15.09.2014 till

the Settlement was signed late on the night of 15/16 September 2014 at about 3.30 a.m. between the Management

and the Union under tremendous pressure. Apprehending that a similar situation might arise at the time of

conducting domestic enquiry against the workman, the competent disciplinary authority decided to dispense with

3960

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

the domestic enquiry, as it was not considered practicable to conduct the enquiry against the workman in the then

prevailing situation. The competent authority was also of the view that in view of the gravity of the charges

against the workman, his continuation in service would not be in the interest of the Company.

5.

Accordingly, as per the decision of the competent Disciplinary Authority, the workman was awarded the penalty

of his removal from the services of the company w.e.f. 22 April 2015 vide Management’s letter No.

CAPL/PER/1492/2015 dated 22 April 2015 (Ex MW1/32).

6.

The workman was duly paid one month’s gross wages amounting to Rs. 13,416/- (Rupees thirteen thousand four

hundred and sixteen only) by transferring the said amount to his salary account No. 00292041018544 with the

Oriental Bank of Commerce, Mahipalpur Branch, New Delhi on 22 April 2015 as required under the provisions

contained in Section 33(2)(b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

7.

However, in case the Hon’ble Tribunal comes to the conclusion that holding of domestic enquiry against the

workman ought to have been held and is necessary, in that event, it is submitted that the Management may kindly

be permitted to adduce the relevant evidence against the workman before this Hon’ble Tribunal with a view to

sustain the charges levelled against and the order of penalty imposed upon the workman.

8.

Since an I.D No. 122/2012 raised by Cambata Aviation Karamchari Union regarding payment of DA/VDA was

sub-judice before this Hon’ble Tribunal, the Management simultaneously filed an application before this Hon’ble

Tribunal on 22 April 2015 for approval of its action of awarding the penalty of removal from service to the

workman as required under the provisions contained in Section 33(2)(b) of the I.D. Act, 1947.

9.

It is stated, that the order of removal from service issued to the workman vide letter No. CAPL/PER/1492/2015

dated 22 April 2015 (Ex MW1/32) is in relation to a misconduct not connected with the Industrial Dispute No.

122/2012.

In view of the above, it is respectfully prayed that necessary approval sought under Section 33(2)(b) of the I.D. Act

1947 in respect of the action of the Management may kindly be accorded.

My issue wise finding is as follows:-

Finding on Issue No. 1

Burden to prove issue no.1 lies on management of Cambata Aviation. To prove this issue management of Cambata

Aviation produced MW1 Sh. C.S. Madan who tendered his affidavit alongwith documents but he was not cross-

examined on behalf of workman. Thereafter testimony of Sh. C.S. Madan is unrebutted. Hence comes within reliable

and credible evidence. Which is sufficient to prove issue no. 1. Hence Issue No. 1 is liable to be decided in favour of

management of Cambata Aviation and against workman.

Which is accordingly decided.

Finding on Issue No. 2

Burden to prove that application of Cambata Aviation 33(2)(b) of the ID.Act , 1947 is not maintainable lies on

workman Sh. Satpal. But in the instant case he has not adduced any evidence. So inwant of evidence of workman issue

No. 2 is liable to be decided against workman and in favour of management Cambata Aviation. Which is accordindgly

decided.

Finding on Issue No. 3

Burden to prove issue no. 3 lies on workman. But he adduced no evidence on issue no. 1 &2. Which have already been

decided against workman. Moreover issue No. 3 is relating to relief to workman. Which is also liable to be decided

against workman and in favour of management of Cambata Aviation on the basis of cogent and reliable evidence of

management. Which is accordingly decided.

On the basis of aforesaid discussion I am of considered view that application of management of Cambata Aviation u/s

33(2)(b) ID. Act , 1947 is liable to be allowed. Which is accordingly allowed and this Tribunal approves action of

management of awarding of penalty of removal of workman Sh. Satpal from services of management.

Ex-parte Award is liable to be passed in favour of management of Cambata Aviation . Which is accordingly passed.

ANNEXURE

AWARD

This award arises out of a reference with the following schedule:—

“Whether the action of the management of State Bank of India in relation to their Jajpur Road Branch in

terminating the services of Shri Sashidhar Jena w.e.f. 30.09.2004 without complying provisions of the I.D. Act, is

legal and justified? To what relief is the entitled? made by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour &

Employment in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of Sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section

3962

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 vide letter No. L-12012/13/2008 – IR(B-I), dated 14.05.2008 in the event

of a dispute allegedly arisen between the Management of State Bank of India and their workman.

2.

Shorn of unnecessary details the case of the 2nd party-workman is that being empanelled by the Management-

Bank after a selection he was engaged as a messenger on casual and daily wage basis with effect from 20.8.1983 in the

branch office of the Management-Bank at Jajpur. He worked as such there from 20.8.1983 to 30.9.2004 continuously

and uninterruptedly. Though he worked for more than 240 days in the branch of the Management-Bank at Jajpur he

was removed from service on 30.9.2004 without compliance of the provisions of Section 25-F of the I.D. Act. His

alleged termination being illegal and unjustified on account of contravention of the provisions of Section 25-F of the

I.D. Act he is to be reinstated with all back wages and other consequential service benefits including continuity of

service.

3.

The Management-Bank has contested the claim of the disputant workman taking a stand that the disputant’s

engagement was temporary and on need basis. He was engaged intermittently as a casual labourer on daily wage basis

as and when required. His engagement was never continuous for 240 days in a year. Taking into consideration of a

settlement reached out between the Management of State Bank and Staff Federation an interview of temporary/daily

wagers like the disputant engaged in different branches of the Bank in Odisha were held for preparing a panel of such

daily wagers so as to enable the Management-Bank to absorb them as temporary/intermittent daily wagers in 4th grade

cadre of the Management-Bank. The unsuccessful candidates had also raised a dispute through the Union which

ultimately resulted in registration of I.D. Case No. 48/2008 pending for disposal in this Tribunal and as such the present

one is not maintainable. The disputant became unsuccessful in the said interview and as such he could not be

empanelled for his absorption in the 4th grade cadre of the Management-Bank. The disputant cannot be said to be a

“workman” of the Management-Bank as defined under the Act and as such the dispute raised by him is not

maintainable in the eye of law. That apart, it has been averred that the disputant and other daily wagers like him had

preferred a Writ before the Hon’ble High Court of Orissa for their permanent absorption in different establishment of

the Management. The said writ having been dismissed by the Hon’ble High Court and Special Leave Petition against

such order of the Hon’ble High Court having been dismissed by the Hon’ble Apex Court the present reference is also

bad in the eye of law. There being no continuous engagement of 240 days of the disputant no relief can be extended to

him under the I.D. Act and as such, the claim of the disputant is to be rejected out-rightly.

4.

On the aforesaid pleadings of the parties following issues have been framed for adjudication of the dispute.

ISSUES

1.

Whether the present reference of the individual workman during the pendency of the I.D. Case No.

7/2007 before the Tribunal on the same issue is legal and justified?

2.

Whether the workman has worked for more than 240 days as enumerated under section 25-F of the

Industrial Disputes Act?

3.

Whether the action of the Management of State Bank of India, Main Branch, Bhubaneswar in

terminating the services of Shri Sashidhar Jena with effect from 30.9.2004 without complying the

provisions of the I.D. Act, 1947 is legal and justified?

4.

To what relief is the workman concerned entitled?

5.

It is pertinent to mention here that the 2nd party-workman failed to adduce any evidence and he did not

take any step after settlement of issues. When he did not come forward to adduce any evidence despite

several adjournments of the hearing the Management was directed to adduce its evidence. The

Management has examined Shri Ramesh Chandra Parida a M.W.-1 and filed documents like Settlements

dated 17.11.1987, 16.7.1988, 27.10.1988, 09.01.1991, 30.07.1996, order of the Hon’ble High Court

passed in O.J.C. No. 2787/1997, Judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in S.L.P. No. 3082/1999,

letter dated 2.8.2004 of the SBI Temporary 4th grade employees Union along with list, letter dated

22.11.2004 of R.L.C.(C) Bhubaneswar, copy of the minutes of closure recorded by the Dy. C.L.C.(C),

report of the conciliation dated 29.6.2007 sent by Dy. C.L.C.(C0 which are marked as Ext.- A to J.

6.

Law is well settled that In order to succeed in a dispute raised under section 25-F of the I.D. Act burden

lies on the workman to establish that he was appointed/engaged by the employer and his engagement

was continuous and uninterrupted for more than 240 days in a year preceding to the alleged

removal/dismissal/retrenchment/termination of service. Unless the same is established by any clinching

and credible evidence the burden cannot be shifted to the Management to establish that he was never

engaged for a period of 240 days continuously and uninterruptedly. Be that as it may, there is nothing

on record except the assertions made by the disputant workman to hold that he was ever engaged by the

Management in any of its branch in any period of time and his such engagement was continuous and

uninterrupted for more than 240 days in a year preceding to his alleged removal/dismissal/

termination/retrenchment. On the other hand, the uncontroverted testimony of M.W.-1 and the

II

(ii)

3963

documents relied upon by the Management reveal that an interview of casual/daily wagers engaged in

various branches of the Management-Bank was held and a panel was prepared for absorption of those

daily wagers against the 4th grade cadre of posts. A writ was preferred before the Hon’ble High Court by

certain unsuccessful candidates for their absorption and the said writ having been dismissed and Special

Leave Petition against such order of the Hon’ble High Court having been dismissed by the Hon’ble

Apex Court the matter of absorption of the disputant workman is set at rest. So far any relief under

section 25-F is concerned, the disputant workman has failed to adduce any evidence as a result of which

this Tribunal has no other alternative than to reject the claim made in the statement of claim by the

disputant.

7.

Reference is answered accordingly.

Dictated & Corrected by me.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

AWARD

The Government of India in the Ministry of Labour exercising its jurisdiction under section 10 of the I.D. Act

have referred the dispute arose between the management of State Bank of India and Shri Ramesh Chandra Sahu vide

letter No. L-12012/217/2000/IR(B-I), dated 16.10.2000 for its adjudication with the following schedule.

“Whether the action of the State Bank of India, Sambalpur Division terminating the services of Shri Ramesh

Chandra Sahu, canteen boy from May, 1998 without any notice and following the provisions of the I.D. Act is

justified? If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?

2.

Briefly stated the case of the individual workman as appears from his claim statement is that he was engaged

by the Branch-Bank of the Management at Khetrajpur, Sambalpur on daily wage basis from October, 1991 to October,

1992 to work as a Messenger. Thereafter the Branch Manager, Khettrajpur deputed him to the branch of the

Management-Bank at Malatigandarpur to work as a canteen boy. He worked there as such from November, 1992 to

April, 1997. Thereafter when he was refused engagement under the Management, he raised a dispute before the labour

machinery resulting in the reference as mentioned earlier.

3.

Being noticed the Management-Bank has contested the claim taking a plea that the disputant was never

engaged in any capacity for doing messengerial work. His engagement/employment, if any, was never continuous for

more than 240 days in a twelve calendar months preceding to the alleged termination of service. His employment was

only on temporary and daily wage basis as and when required and it was intermittent. Being a Public Undertaking any

appointment of regular or temporary in nature are being made with conformity to the recruitment rules and circular.

The disputant not being a “workman” of the Management-Bank as defined under section 2(s) of the I.D. Act, the

reference is not maintainable. Hence, prayer has been made for rejection of the statement of claim.

4.

On the aforesaid pleadings of the parties the following issues are to be examined and answered for proper and

just adjudication of the dispute.

ISSUES

1.

Whether the action of the State Bank of India, Sambalpur Division terminating the services of Shri

Ramesh handra Sahoo, Canteen Boy from May, 1998 without any notice and following the provisions of

the Industrial Dispute Act is justified?

2.

If not, to what relief the workman is entitled to?

5.

The 2nd party-disputant has examined himself and relied upon Xerox copies of the certificates granted in

regard to number of days working under the management, complaint to Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central),

Rourkela and xerox copy of cheque dated 29.9.1992 marked as Ext.-1 to 4 to substantiate his claim whereas, the

Management has examined his Branch Manager, Khetrajpur Branch as M.W.-1 to deny the claim.

FINDINGS

6.

Since both the issues are inter-related to each other they are taken up together for the sake of convenience.

As per the pleadings and oral testimony of the disputant, he was engaged in the branch of the Management-

Bank from 1991 to 1992 and thereafter his Branch Manager shifted him to work as a Canteen Boy at Khettrajpur

Branch of the Management’s canteen and he was refused employment in the year 1997. He has claimed to have worked

for more than 240 days continuously and in support of such claim he has filed Xerox copies of certificates stated to

have been issued by the Branch Manager of Khettrajpur branch. On close examination of these certificates it is

emerging that he was engaged from October, 1991 to June, 1992 and worked 208 days in between those period and

thereafter he was again engaged on daily wage basis in August & October for 39 days. Other documents are apparently

self created, no other document including any appointment letter of the Management is filed to show the nature of his

appointment, if any, and the wages paid to him for such engagement. On a close scrutiny of the Xerox copy of the

certificates purportedly issued by the Branch Manager, it is seen that his engagement under the Management-Bank is

no way continuous for 240 days in a twelve calendar months preceding to his alleged termination in October in 1992.

Thus, there is no other document to support the assertion of the workman that he was given appointment either on

regular or temporary basis or on daily wage basis for a continuous period of 240 days to work as a Messenger. It is

well settled that in case of termination of service of temporary/regular worker, it is for the workman and not for the

department to prove that he had completed 240 days of work in the twelve calendar months preceding to the date of

alleged termination. In that view of the matter the disputant workman appears to have failed to adduce any clinching

and credible evidence to show that he was working for more than 240 days in the preceding one year prior to his

alleged removal except his oral assertion. When the disputant workman himself has failed to discharge his onus the

Management is not required to establish that the workman was never engaged for more than 240 days continuously in a

twelve calendar months. Mere affidavit or self serving statements made by the claimant/workman will not suffice in the

matter of discharge of the burden placed by law on the workman to prove that he had worked for 240 days in a given

year. The principles set out by the Hon’ble Apex Court further lay down that mere non-production of muster rolls per

say without any plea of suppression by the claimant workman will not be the ground for the Tribunal to draw an

II

(ii)

3965

adverse inference against the Management. The disputant workman did not make any prayer to call for the records of

the Management including the muster rolls or any register to establish that he worked in the Management-Branch for

more than 240 days and he received wages for such engagement for more than 240 days. In absence of any clinching

and credible evidence regarding nature of appointment/engagement given to the disputant workman and the period of

his appointment/engagement, it cannot be held that provisions of Section 25-F has been violated in the instant case

rendering the alleged removal as illegal and unjustified.

7.

For the reasons stated above the alleged removal of the disputant workman with effect from 1.6.1998 cannot

be held illegal and unjustified and no relief can be extended to the disputant workman.

8.

The reference is answered accordingly.

AWARD

The Government of India in the Ministry of Labour exercising its jurisdiction under section 10 of the I.D. Act

have referred the dispute arisen between the management of State Bank of India and Gadadhar Sahu vide letter

No. L-12012/23/99/IR (B-I) dated 10.05.1998 for its adjudication with the following schedule:-

Whether action of the Management of State Bank of India of India, Sambalpur in removing from the services

of Shri Gadadhar Sahu, Ex-Messenger, SBI, Babunikitimal Branch w.e.f. 1.6.1998 is justified? If not, what

relief he is entitled?”

2.

Briefly stated, the case of the individual workman as comes out from his statement of claim, is that he was

engaged by the Management-Bank as a temporary Messenger intermittently in its branch-Bank of Nikitimala at

Kuchinda prior to the year 1994. By virtue of a settlement between the Management of SBI and its Staff Federation, it

was decided to prepare a panel from which Messengers are to be recruited or engaged permanently or temporarily on

daily wage basis in different branches of the Management-Bank and accordingly an interview was held in May, 1996

by the Management-Bank. It has been claimed that the disputant workman was selected in the said interview and

empanelled as a candidate for such appointment of Messengers either as on regular or temporary basis. He was given

appointment as a temporary Messenger on daily wage basis in the branch of Babunikitamala Branch, Sambalpur and he

worked as such from May, 1996 to 31.5.1998. It is his further stand that he was working as such continuously and

uninterruptedly for more than 240 days in a year preceding to his alleged removal on 01.06.1998 without compliance of

the provisions of Section 25-F of the Act. Hence his removal being contrary to the provisions enumerated under section

25-F of the Act he is to be reinstated with all back wages and consequential reliefs including continuity of service.

3.

Being noticed the Management-Bank has contested the claim of the disputant workman taking a stand that he

was never appointed as a regular or temporary Messenger for a period of more than 240 days continuously and

uninterruptedly in any of its branch. His appointment was only intermittent as and when required in the branch-Bank

of the Management. He was paid on daily wage basis when he was engaged intermittently. It has been further pleaded

by the Management that taking into consideration the settlement reached out between the Management of State Bank

and its Staff Federation, an interview of temporary/daily wagers like the disputant engaged in different branches of the

Management-Bank situated in different circles were held for preparing a panel of such daily wagers so as to enable the

Management-Bank to absorb/appoint them in regular basis or temporarily in 4th grade cadre of the Management-Bank.

As per the said settlement all the vacant messengerial posts in the cadre was to be filled up by 31.3.1997 on which date

the panel would be lapsed. The branches of the Management-Bank were advised to engage messengers either

temporarily or on daily wage basis only from the wait list of the panel. The candidates securing higher position in the

panel were appointed against the vacant post of regular Messengers, whereas other successful candidates in the panel

were given appointment on temporary and daily wage basis in different branches as and when required. Accordingly

the disputant workman was engaged temporarily on daily wage basis in Babunikitimala branch intermittently as and

when required. He never completed 240 days continuously prior to the preceding calendar months of his alleged

removal on 01.06.1998. The validity of the panel having been lapsed on 31.3.1997 as per the settlement between the

parties, the service of the disputant workman could not be regularized and no illegality has been committed in

discontinuing the service of the disputant workman with effect from 1.6.1998.

4.

On the aforesaid pleadings of the parties the following issues are to be answered for proper and just

adjudication of the dispute.

ISSUES

1.

Whether the action of the Management of State Bank of India, Sambalpur, in removing from the

services to Shri Gadadhar Sahu, Ex-Messenger, SBI, Babunikitiamala Branch with effect from 1.6.1998

is justified?

2.

If not, what relief he is entitled?

5.

The 2nd party-workman has examined himself as a witness and relied upon two documents like Xerox copy of

bank pass book and Xerox copy of interview call letter (marked as Ext.-1 and 2) to substantiate his claim, whereas, the

Management adduced oral as well as documentary evidence to deny the claim of the disputant workman. Copies of the

settlements dated 1711.1987, 16.07,1988, 27.10.1988, 09.01.1991 and 30.07.1996 have been filed in support of its

averments.

II

(ii)

3967

FINDINGS

6.

Since both the issues are inter related to each other they are taken up together for consideration for the sake of

convenience.

As per the pleadings and oral evidence of the disputant workman his removal from the service of the

temporary messenger with effect from 01.06.1998 was illegal on account of non-compliance of the provisions

enumerated in Section 25-F of the Act. It has been alleged that he was terminated from service without being paid

notice pay and compensation despite the fact that he was appointed and engaged by the branch of the Management-

Bank in the month of May, 1996 and he continued in his job without any interruption till he was removed on

01.06.1998. Having worked for more than 240 days continuously and uninterruptedly in the branch of the

Management-Bank in a calendar year preceding to his alleged removal he was required to be paid notice pay and

compensation. Since the Management has failed to comply the same while removing him from service, he is to be

reinstated with full back wages. In support of his averment about his appointment and continuance in service he has

filed Xerox copies of S.B. Bank pass book and interview call letter. Both the documents are not sufficient to establish

that he was ever appointed as a temporary messenger continuously for more than 240 day in the preceding twelve

calendar months before his removal. The particulars of the S.B. A/c. pass book of the disputant workman is not

specific to lead an inference that amount credited in S.B. Account from time to time was towards his daily or monthly

wages received from his employer-Bank. Such statements do not disclose that his engagement, if any, was continuous

for more than 240 days in a calendar year preceding to his removal. The other document is related to the call letter

issued to him to attend the interview held for the purpose of empanelment of successful candidates for appointment in

the 4th grade cadre in the Bank either in regular or temporary or daily wage basis. The same is not sufficient to support

the assertions of the workman that he was given appointment either on regular or temporary basis in the 4th grade cadre

for a continuous period of 240 days. It is well settled that in case of termination of service of temporary/regular worker

it is for the workman and not for the department to prove that he had completed 240 days of work in the twelve

calendar months preceding the date of alleged termination. In that view of the matter the disputant workman appears to

have failed to adduce any clinching and credible evidence to show that he was working for more than 240 days in the

preceding one year prior to his alleged removal except his oral assertion. When the disputant workman himself has

failed to discharge his onus, the Management is not required to establish that the workman was never engaged for more

than 240 days continuously in a twelve calendar months. Mere affidavit or self serving statements made by the

claimant/workman will not suffice in the matter of discharge of the burden placed by law on the workman to prove that

he had worked for 240 days in a given year. The principles set out by the Hon’ble Apex Court further lay down that

mere non-production of muster rolls per say without any plea of suppression by the claimant workman will not be the

ground for the Tribunal to draw an adverse inference against the Management. The disputant workman did not make

any prayer to call for the records of the Management including the muster rolls or any register to establish that he

worked in the Management-Branch for more than 240 days and he received wages for such engagement for more than

240 days. In absence of any clinching and credible evidence regarding nature of appointment/engagement given to the

disputant workman and the period of his appointment/engagement it cannot be held that provisions of Section 25-F has

been violated in the instant case rendering the alleged removal as illegal and unjustified.

7.

For the reasons stated above the alleged removal of the disputant workman with effect from 1.6.1998 cannot

be held illegal and unjustified and no relief can be extended to the disputant-workman.

8.

The reference is answered accordingly.

AWARD

The Government of India in the Ministry of Labour has referred an industrial dispute existing between the

employers in relation to the management of Contractor to the management of Contractor of M/s. RITES Ltd. and their

workman in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the

Industrial Disputes Act vide its letter No. L-41012/59/2011-IR (B-I) dated 15.06.2012 with the following schedule.

II

(ii)

3969

“Whether the action of the management of M/s. Durga Engineering, a contractor of M/s. RITES Ltd., in

terminating the services of Shri K.K. Khuntia w.e.f. 4.12.2010 is legal and justified? To what relief the

workman is entitled?”

In short the case of the disputant workman is that being appointed through the Management No. 1, Contractor

he worked as a Peon with effect from January, 2008 to the month of December, 2010. He was discharging his duties

with all sincerity and devotion to the satisfaction of his authority. He was receiving his wage on monthly basis except

in some occasion in a quarter. He was extended with E.P.F. and E.S.I. facility. Though he was shown to have been

engaged as a contract labourer of the Management No. 1, he was under the direct control and supervision of the

Management No. 2. His wage was paid by the Management No. 2. His engagement through contractor was a paper

transaction only and the said document was a sham and camouflage to deny his claim. According to him his service

was terminated on 3.12.2010 without compliance of the provisions of Section 25-F of the I.D. Act and as such, his

termination/retrenchment by the Management No. 2 is illegal and unjustified and as such, he is to be reinstated with

back wages and other service benefits.

2.

As both the Managements did not appear and contest the claim of the disputant workman after being noticed

by the Tribunal, they have been set exparte. The disputant workman has filed his evidence in shape of sworn affidavit

as contemplated under Order 18 Rule 4 C.P.C. and exhibited the note dated 3.9.2010 of the Management, another note

dated 12.3.2008 of the Management, letter of M/s. Durga Engineering Contractor, details of the payments in aquittance,

statement for payment of Bonus to the contractual staff and copies of the savings Bank pass book marked as Ext.-1 to

6 in support of his claim.

3.

In his oral testimony the disputant workman has claimed that he was working directly under the control and

supervision of the Management No. 2 though, he was being shown engaged as a contract labourer of the Management

No. 1 and he was paid directly by the Management No. 2 towards his monthly wage. To strengthen his contention and

oral testimony reliance has been placed on the Xerox copy of a note allegedly submitted by one Shri P.C. Pattnaik of

Management No. 2 and a Xerox copy of letter of the Project Manager dated 12.03.2008. Besides, a Xerox copy of letter

alleged submitted by the Management No. 1 addressed to the Management No. 2 is also filed in support of the claim of

the disputant workman. On a close scrutiny of Ext.-1 it appears that one Sushil Chanda Majhi and the disputant

workman K.K. Khuntia were paid from the NTPC Simadri Project Fund being employed on contractual basis. Note

appears to have been given by the signatory of Ext.-1 to his higher authority for approval of a proposal to accommodate

both the above contractual workers in view of coming projects as their term of contractual work was going to expire on

30.9.2010. The other letter Ext.-2 discloses about sanction of certain amount towards wage of disputant workman and

two others for the month of January, 2008. These two documents as well as Ext.-3 do not disclose in certainty that the

Management No. 2 had issued any appointment letter to the disputant workman or there was any direct relationship

“employer and employee” between them. On the other hand it can be safely inferred from Ext.-1 that the term of

contractual work was going to expire on 30.9.2010 for which a proposal seems to have been made by the signatory

Ext.-1 for an approval of extension of contractual work to the disputant workman and another in certain up-coming

projects. No other document allegedly issued by the Management No. 1 is filed to establish that the disputant workman

was given any form of appointment either temporarily or on regular basis. In the above back-drop, if the contention of

Ext.-1 is taken into consideration it can be at best inferred that the contractual appointment of the disputant workman

was a time bound i.e. up to 30.09.2010. It is well settled by the Hon’ble Apex Court in a catena of decisions that when

an appointment is a for a specific period or the job is a contractual one for a specific time, no relief can be extended

under section 25-F of the Act if there is no extension of time to such contractual engagement or the workman was

retrenched after completion of the contractual period.

4.

Further, it cannot be over-looked that the disputant workman has pleaded that he was engaged in the

Management No. 2 being shown as a contract labourer of Management No. 1 and paper transactions showing his such

engagement are sham and camouflage to avoid the liability of the Management No. 2. It is his further claim that he was

working directly under the supervision and control of Management No. 1 and his retrenchment with effect from

01.10.2010 without compliance of the provisions of Section 25-F is illegal and unjustified and in that view of the

matter the principal employer is required to reinstate him with all full back wages and other service benefits. To

strengthen his contention reliance has been placed in the case of General Manager (OSD), Bengal Nagpur Cotton Mills

Rajnandgaon –versus- Bharat Lal & Another reported in 2011 (1) O.J.R. 326. As per the above pronouncement of the

Hon’ble Apex Court two well recognized tests to find out whether the contract labour is the direct employee of the

principal employer are (i) whether the principal employer pays the salary instead of the contractor and (ii) whether the

principal employer controls and supervises the work of the employee. There is not a single scrap of paper on behalf of

the disputant workman to show that he was receiving the wage directly from the Management No. 2. On the other hand

Ext.-3 suggests that he was receiving salary from the Management No. 1. That apart, no appointment letter or offer of

appointment/engagement is filed to ascertain if he was engaged directly by the Management No. 1. No document is

also filed with regard to payment of wages to him directly by the principal employer, Management No. 2. In regard to

the above tests it is for the workman to aver and prove that he was paid salary directly by the Management No. 2 and

not by the Management No. 1-Contractor. The above onus is not discharged by the disputant workman. Hence the

3970

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

disputant workman has also failed to establish the existence of “employer and employee” relationship between him and

the Management No. 1.

5.

For the reasons mentioned above it cannot be said that there was any retrenchment of service of the disputant

workman by the Management No. 2 against whom all reliefs have been claimed. So far as the liability of the

Management No. 1 is concerned it is seen from Ext.-1 that the nature of engagement was time bound and no other

document towards appointment is filed to suggest that the engagement of the disputant workman was not time bound.

Unless the appointment is not a time bound one, no relief under section 25-F can be granted to a workman holding his

retrenchment or termination as illegal. Thus, claim raised by the disputant workman merits no consideration.

6.

Accordingly the reference is answered.

By order No. L-12012/181/2004-IR(B-I) dated 28.12.2004 the Central Government in the Ministry of Labour,

New Delhi in exercise of powers conferred by clause (d) of sub section (1) and sub section (2A) of Section 10 of the

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) referred this industrial dispute between the Sri Ram Kripal S/o Late Sh. Jitai

Ram, Azamgarh and the Branch Manager/Regional Manager, Gorakhpur for adjudication.

2.

The reference under adjudication is:

“WHETHER SRI RAM KRIPAL, THE EX-EMPLOYEE OF SBI, DESIGNATED AS CASH

OFFICER IS A WORKMAN? IF YES, WHETHER CLAIM TO HAVE BEEN ILLEGALLY

REMOVED FROM THE SERVICE W.E.F. 27.7.1994 BY THE MANAGEMENT OF SBI IS

TENABLE? IF SO, TO WHAT RELIEF HE IS ENTITLED FOR?”

3.

As per claim statement W-3 the petitioner has stated in brief that he was appointed as Clerk on 29.3.1973 at

SBI, Kopaganj, Azamgarh branch, was promoted to the post of JMGS-I on 3.2.1982, and was transferred to SBI, Siswa

Bazar, Gorakhpur, where he was assigned the work of “Cash Officer”, he used to perform all the clerical work, after

counting the cash, entry was properly made in the relevant register, no administrative and managerial power was vested

to him, neither he possessed any supervisory rights. The workman has pleaded that his job was covered under the

definition of workman as provided in the I.D. Act. He has alleged that his services were illegally terminated on 27.7.94,

at the time of termination he was drawing Rs.5690/- per month.

4.

The petitioner has asserted that before his termination he had worked for more than 240 days, his employers

have illegally recovered the sum of Rs.27000/- from his salary without assigning any reason. Gratuity has also not been

paid. No prior notice was given, neither salary in lieu of notice was paid, retrenchment compensation was also not paid,

violation of Section 25F of the I.D. Act. and relevant Rules have been alleged in the claim statement. The workman has

stated that several representations were made by him but none was disposed neither any reply was given. With the

aforesaid pleadings request has been made to declare the service termination as illegal and to reinstate him with

continuity in service alongwith salary benefits, cost of the litigation etc.

5.

The management has filed reply/written statement M-9 wherein it has been admitted that the petitioner was

appointed as Clerk on 29.3.1973, promotional matter has also been accepted. The opposite party has further stated that

after his promotion the petitioner no longer remained a workman within the definition provided in the I.D. Act., his

service condition was changed by the SBI Supervisory Staff Service Rules. The opposite party has alleged that during

his posting as Cash Officer at Kopaganj, Azamgarh branch the petitioner has committed certain acts of gross

misconduct during his duty. Thereafter he was placed under suspension, charge sheet was also issued, departmental

proceedings were initiated and after giving due opportunity to the workman the matter was duly considered, enquiry

report was submitted, the Disciplinary Authority has thereafter recommended his removal from service, the appointing

authority passed an order dated 19.6.1992 thereby removing the workman from service of the opposite party Bank.

6.

The opposite party has stressed that after lapse of more than 12 years the petitioner had approached the office

of ALC( C ) Allahabad, raised the dispute there although the appeal was preferred by him on 19.6.1992 before the

Dy.Managing Director (P)/Appellate Authority, Mumbai, the said appeal was decided on 7.6.1993 and the letter was

received by the petitioner on 7.10.93. Relevant paras of the claim statement having certain allegations, have been

denied by the opposite party. The management has asserted that the petitioner during his tenure as Cash Officer had

afforded credit on various dates for amounts aggregating Rs.28,017/- in the Saving Account no.3326 and 3986 in the

name of minor son Anil Kumar under his guardianship and his wife Smt. Phoolmati, the amount was withdrawn by him

or his wife, he has defrauded the bank by making fictitious entries in the aforesaid account, he prepared TDR voucher

for Rs.1100/- on 16.5.88 and credited in wife’s account, he altered in the TDR register which was in the name of Sri

Bali Chandra Singh, who had already paid interest on 3.5.88. The petitioner has embezzled the bank”s fund and penalty

of removal from service was imposed, appeal was duly disposed of. The management in the light of the above

pleadings has requested to reject the claim statement alongwith heavy cost. Several documents have been annexed with

written statement by the opposite party.

7.

With strong denial of the allegations leveled in the written statement rejoinder W-17 has been filed by the

petitioner, reiterating the facts mentioned in the claim statement. The alleged embezzlement etc. has been denied by the

petitioner.

8.

The petitioner has filed his affidavit in the evidence. He has been thoroughly cross examined on behalf of the

management.

9.

The management has filed affidavit M-26 of Sri Nanhe Prasad, Branch Manager, SBI. He has been cross

examined on behalf of the workman.

10.

Arguments of both the parties have been heard at length, and record has been scanned thoroughly.

11.

Learned AR for the workman has relied upon the following Rulings:

12.

Learned AR for the management has submitted that the aforesaid citations do not apply to the facts of the

present case.

13.

It is an admitted fact to both the parties that the petitioner workman was appointed as Clerk on 29.3.1973 at

SBI, Kobaganj, Azamgarh, and later on was promoted. The workman has stressed that his services have wrongly been

terminated without assigning any reason, his representation was not considered and no retrenchment- compensation

was paid to him. Learned AR for the management while refuting the above submissions has emphasized that the

petitioner has embezzled the funds, indulged into illegal activities, certain sum was unauthorizedly credited in the

accounts of petitioner’s wife and minor son, thereby being indulged in gross misconduct. It has further been argued by

the management that after thorough and fair enquiry, the workman was awarded with punishment of removal from

service; appeal filed by him was also dismissed.

14.

In the written statement, M-9 filed by the management specific instances regarding so called embezzlement

and mis-appropriation of funds have been mentioned. No doubt the allegations leveled in the written statement have

been denied in the rejoinder W-17 but specific pleadings have not been made by the workman. No details regarding the

alleged accounts of petitioner’s wife and minor son have been elaborated by the workman.

15.

The management witness Sri Nanhe Prasad, Branch Manager, SBI has filed affidavit M-26. Following abstract

of para 7 of the affidavit M-26 is quite material;

“During his tenure as Cash Officer, the claimant Sri Ram Kripal had effected credit on various dates for the

amounts aggregating Rs.28,017.00 in the Savings Bank Accounts No. 3326 and 3986 in the name of the his

minor son namely Anil Kumar (under his guardianship) and Smt. Phoolmati, his wife respectively being

maintained in Kopaganj Branch, District Azamgarh of the opposite party bank.

The amounts so credited to these two accounts were withdrawn by him and his wife. Thus he defrauded the

bank by making fictitious entries in the aforesaid accounts.

Sri Ram Kripal had also prepared and passed fictitious term deposit receipt interest account voucher for

Rs.1100.00 on 16.05.1988 and credited the proceeds to the Saving Bank Account No. 3986 of his wife Smt.

Phoolmati by altering the date of payment in term deposit receipt register which was in the name of Sri Bali

Chandra Singh, who had already paid interest on 03.05.1988. Thus Sri Ram Kripal had embezzled the bank’s

fund.

Sri Ram Kripal on 27.04.1988 had raised a fictitious debit entry for Rs.19,965.00 (Rs.10,000.00 debited to

Special Term Deposit Receipt Account and Rs.9,965.00 in the to its Interest Account) and credited

Rs.9,965.00 in the Savings Bank Account No. 3986 in the name of his wife Smt. Phoolmati. The withdrawal

was passed for payment by him and the amount was withdrawn by his wife on 3.5.1988.

With a view to conceal the above f acts of misconduct, he himself wrote the relevant vouchers in the transfer

scroll as clean cash. Thus he embezzled the Bank’s fund to the tune of Rs.9,965.00.’’

16.

Learned AR for the workman has cross examined Mr.Nanhe Prasad but the management witness has nowhere

been confronted with the above evidence given regarding the alleged embezzlement. Surprisingly no question was

asked by the workman or his Learned AR regarding aforesaid instance of embezzlement. The witness was asked to

reply whether the record pertaining to the embezzlement has been filed before this Court or not. More- over the fact

regarding appeal filed by the petitioner workman before the competent authority, has no where been mentioned in the

claim statement. The workman in his cross examination before this Court has admitted that he had filed departmental

appeal which was decided and order was communicated but that order was not challenged by him before Hon’ble High

Court.

II

(ii)

3973

17.

The management has filed copy of the letter dated 19.6.1992, regarding disciplinary proceedings, option was

given to the workman to prefer an appeal before the Appellate Authority, another letter dated 23.6.1993 regarding

information of the order passed in appeal. Detailed order dated 7.6.1992 passed by the Appellate

Authority/Dy.Managing Director has also been filed. These papers have been annexed with the written statement, the

written statement has been supported by an affidavit of Branch Manager, SBI.

18.

Since averments made by the management witness in para 7 of his affidavit M-26, are clearly unrebutted, the

version emphasized by the management has therefore attained more weight. It is also an admitted fact that the order

dated 7.6.1993 passed by Dy.Managing Director/Appellate Authority has not been challenged by the workman before

any competent Court. It may also be pertinent here the workman has admitted his signature on paper

no.10/2,10/3,10/4,10/5 and 10/6 filed by the management. These papers relate to the disciplinary proceedings, order

passed by the Appellate Authority etc. The workman has not filed copy of any letter sent by him to the bank authorities

wherein request was ever made by him to provide an opportunity of hearing to adduce evidence in the departmental

proceedings. The submissions made by the opposite party that the petitioner is not covered under the definition of the

“workman” as per the provisions of I.D. Act., does not carry legal weight, and therefore it can not be accepted.

19.

After having heard the intellect arguments of both the parties at length and perusal of the record in the light of

the prouncements made by the Hon’ble Court, it is inferred that the alleged order whereby the services of the workman

have been terminated by the management, can not be treated as illegal or irregular. The petitioner was found guilty by

the management for gross misconduct and embezzlement. However, the petitioner is covered under the definition of

“workman”. The workman is not entitled to any relief.

20.

Award as above.

AWARD

1..

As per the Schedule of this Reference, the following dispute was referred to this Tribunal.

“Whether the action of the management of Western Railway (Viz. Mumbai Division, Mumbai Central,

Mumbai in granting promotion to the junior employee to Shri Jeevan Singh is legal and justified? If not, what

relief, Shri Jeevan Singh is entitled to?”

2.

Notices were issued to both the parties and notice was also issued to the Union and Mr.M.B.Anchan has put

in appearance on behalf of the Union to represent the second party Jeevan Singh.

3.

As per the Statement of Claim, the second party Jeevan Singh had passed Xth Standard, he was holding I.T.I

Diploma in Sheet Metal Trade. He was appointed as Khalasi on 14.1.1981 by the Chief Signal Inspector, Western

Railway, Bandra. Since he has passed Xth Standard and was also holder of ITI Certificate, so he was given an

assurance that he will be promoted to Skilled Category of Fitter Grade-III after working for six months. After working

for 120 days Jeevan Singh was given temporary status from 14.6.1981 and after attaining the temporary status, he was

granted annual increment in the pay scale of Khalasi regularly. Thus, he became the permanent Railway Employee

w.e.f. 14.5.1981. However, he was not promoted to the post of Fitter Grade-III even after completing six months as

assured earlier. The case of the second party was that he was entitled for promotion to the skilled post of Fitter Grade-

III from 22.7.1992 when his juniors were promoted to the said post but he was not called for Trade Test for the said

post. In the Statement of Claim, details of 7 other workmen have been given alongwith their date of appointment and

as per the Claim of the second party these workmen were promoted earlier to him. Out of the 7 Workmen, Workmen

mentioned at Sr.No.1 Ramkumar R., Sr.No.2 S.Masilamani and Sr.No.7 A.Sebastian were transferred to Parel

Workshop on their own request. Therefore, they were placed at the bottom of the Seniority in the said Cadre at Parel

Workshop, therefore, they cannot be treated to be Senior to Jeevan Singh. The other 4 employees joined Railway

Service after the appointment of the second party, therefore, they were junior to him. Thus, all the 7 Workmen were

junior to the second party. However, they were called for Trade Test and were promoted to the post of Fitter Grade-III

in the Scale of 3050-4590 on different dates. They were however, promoted as Fitter Grade-II in the Pay Scale of

4000-6000 on different dates. Mr.Dilip A.Kadam was again promoted as Fitter Grade – I in the Pay Scale of 4500-

7000, while Jeevan Singh was not called for Trade Test for promotion as indicated above. He was not given Seniority

of his initial date of appointment from 14.1.1981 and promotions to the post of Fitter Grade-III, Fitter Grade-II and

Fitter Grade-I was wrongfully denied to him. He was also denied promotion to 25% quota of ITI Certificate Holders.

Thereafter, Representations were made by the second party. In the Statement of Claim, it was not pleaded on behalf of

the second party that he was also transferred to Parel Workshop subsequently.

4.

The Management has filed its Reply. In Written Statement, the Claim of the second party has been denied on

the ground that the second party was junior most to the persons mentioned by him in his claim. The other persons who

were mentioned were transferred to Parel Workshop prior to the second party. The second party was transferred and

joined the Parel Workshop in 1987. Therefore, as per the seniority of Parel Workshop he was junior to the employees

who were transferred to the said Workshop prior to him. Since Jeevan Singh was junior to them as per the seniority of

Parel Workshop, therefore, no illegality or irregularity was committed by the Management in not considering the

second party for promotion. It has also been pleaded that for the post of Fitter Grade-III educational qualifications are

not necessary and promotions are made directly in accordance with the Seniority. There is specific denial of the

averment that any assurance was given by any Officer of Western Railway that he will be promoted after six months.

The first party has mentioned the list of all the employees who had joined Parel Workshop and as per the dates of Entry

in the Parel Workshop. Jeevan Singh was last to join on 21.12.1987. So he was junior to the other persons. There is no

dispute regarding the dates of promotion and dates of joining the Parel Workshop. It has also been denied that the work

of Fitter Grade-III was taken by the second party Jeevan Singh, so he is not entitled to the payment of wages as per

Grade-I employee.

5.

In the Rejoinder Affidavit filed on behalf of the workman, it has been stated that the seven workmen named in

the Statement of Claim were transferred on their request to Parel Workshop, the dates of transfer in Parel Workshop

have also been mentioned while the Workman Jeevan Singh was transferred on Administrative grounds

w.e.f.21.12.1987. Therefore, he was Senior to the persons who were transferred on their own requests in view of Rules

311 and 312 governing the transfer from one establishment to other.

(ii)

6.

On behalf of the Management amendment of the Written Statement was also prayed by means of Application

dated 13.7.2011. On behalf of the second party, it was objected and ultimately vide Order dated 14.9.2011 the said

Amendment Application was rejected.

7.

In view of the rival contentions, the following Issues were framed:

(1)

Whether the workman Mr. Jeevan Singh is senior to other employees who have been promoted by the

Management of Western Railway (DRM), Mumbai Division, Mumbai Central, Mumbai?

(2)

Whether the action of the Management in granting the promotion to the junior employees is justified?

(3)

Whether the promotion denied to the workman Mr.Jeevan Singh is justified?

(4)

To what relief, if any, is the workman entitled?

8.

In support of its claim on behalf of Jeevan Singh, he himself has filed his Affidavit as Examination-in-Chief

and has also filed the following documents:

(i)

Copy of the Rule governing the Transfer in the interest of Admn. Ex.W-1.

(ii)

9.

On behalf of the first party, Affidavit of B.P.Upadhyay, A.P.O.A., Western Railway, has been filed and he

was also cross-examined on behalf of the first party. However, no documents were filed on behalf of the first party.

10.

During the course of argument, learned counsel for the Management Mrs.Pooja Kulkarni has raised a

preliminary issues which touches the jurisdiction of this Tribunal to entertain the controversy involved in this case.

The argument of the Management is that the grievance of the workman is a private dispute which is virtually regarding

re-fixation of his seniority and there is no espousal either by the Union or by the Co-workmen as is the requirement of

law and in absence of such espousal this Tribunal has no jurisdiction to entertain such private dispute.

11.

Learned counsel for the workman has also argued on this point and his submission is that the Written

Statement on behalf of the Workman was signed by the Vice-President, Paschim Railway Karmachari Parishad.

12.

Since this argument touches the basic jurisdiction of this Tribunal, therefore, it ought to be have been

considered and decided before looking into other Issues.

13.

The claim of Jeevan Singh was mainly on the ground that the other employees were transferred to Parel

Workshop on their own request, therefore, as per the Service rules they were to be placed on the bottom of the Cadre

to which they belong. Since the second party was transferred on Administrative ground, therefore his Seniority ought

to have been maintained, but the first party has committed illegality in putting him below the persons who were

transferred on their own request and accordingly treating him junior to them. The fact that the other persons were

transferred to Parel Workshop were junior to the second party has specifically been denied by the first party. Learned

counsel for the second party has made his submissions that the other persons were transferred on their own request,

therefore, they ought to have been placed at the bottom while the second party Jeevan Singh was transferred on

Administrative ground, therefore, he was entitled for his Seniority from the date of his initial appointment. This fact

has been specifically denied by the first party Management. The arguments raised on behalf of the Management has

substance that there is no practice of giving assurance at the time of initial appointment that he will be promoted within

six months and there is nothing on record to show that the Workmen who were earlier transferred from Bandra to Parel

were transferred on their own request. Admittedly, there is not even a single document on record to infer that the

earlier transfers to Parel Workshop were made on the request of these employees. Admittedly, those Workmen were

transferred to Parel Workshop prior to the transfer of the second party. So in absence of any document the submission

that they were transferred to the Parel Workshop on their request cannot be relied upon. The second party has not taken

any steps to examine any of these workmen nor has taken any step to call any employee of the Management alongwith

3976

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

relevant record. The grievance of the second party was that his seniority was wrongly fixed in the Parel Workshop. He

has joined the Parel Workshop on 21.12.1987. Thus the cause of action arose in the year 1987 when his seniority was

wrongfully fixed but the dispute has been referred in the year 2004 i.e. after about 17 years. The second party is

claiming Seniority from 1981.

14.

Thus the main grievance of the second party is regarding his seniority. His submission is that his seniority in

Parel workshop has been fixed against the rules. Unless and until his seniority is refixed, he is not entitled to any relief.

Management has come with a definite case that second party was junior to all these seven workmen as per the seniority

of Parel workshop. Documents filed on behalf of the second party shows that he could not be promoted in Bandra

workshop as there was no vacancy. He was informed by the authority concerned that vacancy exists in Parel

Workshop. It transpires from the perusal of the documents filed on behalf of second party that there were only two

vacancies in Fitter grade III cadre. Management has argued that since there were vacancies in Parel workshop so he

himself opted for his transfer to Parel workshop. Seniority list has not been filed by any of the party. However,

witness of Management has stated that second party was junior to all these workmen. It is really surprising that this

statement of MW Bindoo Upadhya was not challenged to be incorrect in cross-examination.

15.

There is yet another very important flaw in this matter that the Workmen over and above whom he is claiming

Seniority have not been impleaded as party. This is settled principle of service jurisprudence that such workmen whose

Seniority may be effected are necessary party and must be implead. On this point Reference may be made to the

pronouncement of Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Rajasthan Versus Uchhab Lal Chhanwal 2013 (0)

AIJEL-SC 54604. Paragraphs 11 and 15 of the said judgment are relevant which are being reproduced as under:

“11.

Though some argument was canvassed with regard to the relevance of the punishment of censure, yet

the said aspect need not be adverted to. On a perusal of the writ petition, the order of the writ court and that

of the Division Bench we notice that there were specific averments that juniors placed at serial numbers 9, 10

and 11 in gradation list had been promoted vide order dated 20.8.1997. They have not been arrayed as

parties. Needless to emphasize, in the event the order passed by the High Court is affirmed, the persons who

are seniors to the respondents in the promotional cadre are bound to become junior regard being had to their

seniority position in the feeder cadre. It is well settled in law that no order can be passed behind the back of

the person that shall adversely affect him. In this context, we may refer with profit to the decision in Vijay

Kumar Kaul and others V/s. Union of India and others, (2012) 7 SCC 610, wherein it has been held thus:-

“Another aspect needs to be highlighted. Neither before the Tribunal nor before the High Court,

Praveen Kumar and others were arrayed as parties. There is no dispute over the factum that they are senior

to the appellants and have been conferred the benefit of promotion to the higher posts. In their absence, if any

direction is issued for fixation of seniority, that is likely to jeopardise their interest. When they have not been

impleaded as parties such a relief is difficult to grant.”

14. “In the case at hand the dispute relates to promotion which will have impact on inter se seniority. The

learned counsel for the respondents assiduously endeavoured to convince us that they are agitating the

grievance with regard to their promotion. Despite the indefatigable effort, we are not persuaded to accept the

aforesaid preponement, for once the respondents are promoted, the juniors who have been promoted earlier

would become juniors in the promotional cadre, and they being not arrayed as parties in the lis, an adverse

order cannot be passed against them as that would go against the basic tenet of the principles of natural

justice. On this singular ground the directions issued by the writ court as well as the Division bench

pertaining to grant of promotion to the respondents are quashed. To elaborate, as far as the conclusion of the

High Court relating the circular is concerned, it is unexceptionable and we concur with the same.”

16.

Next argument of the Management is that the dispute raised by the Workman is a personal dispute and

without espousal of the same by the Union or by group of Co-Workmen, it cannot be given the shape of Industrial

Dispute. The argument is based on the ground that the Statement of Claim and the Issue framed clearly indicate that

the only dispute is regarding the individual Seniority of the Workman Jeevan Singh. He claims that because of the

facts stated in the Statement of Claim and the Rejoinder Affidavit, he ought to have been given Seniority w.e.f.

14.1.1981 over and above the Seven Workmen mentioned in his claim. Per contra, learned counsel for the Workman

has stated that dispute has duly been espoused by the Union as the Statement of Claim and Rejoinder Affidavit have

been signed by the Vice-President of the Divisional Paschim Railway Karmachari Parishad.

17.

A perusal of the Statement of Claim and the Rejoinder Affidavit shows that it has nowhere been stated that at

any point of time this dispute was espoused by the Union before filing the Statement of Claim. Even in the Statement

of Claim and Rejoinder Affidavit filed on behalf of the Parishad named above, it has nowhere been stated that the

dispute was raised by the Parishad before the Conciliation Board or before the Management, or the workman Jeevan

Singh approached the Union for redressal of his grievance. The only averment on this point is that Jeevan Singh made

a request, vide letter dated 5.8.1998, to Smt.Sanjivani Raikar, Member of Legislative Council. Then she vide her letter

dated 26.3.1999 again requested the Railway Administration to consider the request of Jeevan Singh for promotion.

None of the document filed on behalf of the Workman are capable of giving rise to any inference that this dispute was

any stage espoused by the Union before the Conciliation Board or before the Management. A private dispute to acquire

II

(ii)

3977

the character of an Industrial Dispute had to be supported by the Union of the Employees or by a group of Co-

workmen. The Industrial Tribunal has jurisdiction only to adjudicate the Industrial Disputes. Once the Tribunal comes

to the conclusion that the dispute was not espoused, it loses jurisdiction to adjudicate as there is no industrial dispute.

Word Industrial Dispute has been defined in Section 2 K as under –

“Section 2K. “industrial dispute” means any dispute or difference between employers and employers, or

between employers and workmen, or between workmen and workmen, which is connected with the

employment or non-employment or the terms of employment or with the conditions of labour, of any person;

Espousal is not a mere technicality. The entire jurisprudence of the Industrial Disputes Act is in respect of collective

disputes of workmen. So far as the espousal is concerned, there is no particular form prescribed under law to effect

such espousal but the Union must normally express itself in the form of a resolution which should be proved if it is in

issue. However, proof of support by the union may also be available aliund. The statute contemplates only settlement

of disputes involving the rights of workmen as a class and not disputes which merely touch individual rights of a single

workman. It has been so observed by the Honourable Apex Court in the case of D.N.Banerjee vs. P.R.Mukherjee AIR

1953 SC 58. Thus, in the instant case, a perusal of the Issue itself shows that the dispute was a private dispute regarding

the seniority of the second party Jeevan Singh. The workman Jeevan Singh has utterly failed to prove that the same

was espoused by the Union. There is nothing on record to infer that at any time till the reference was made the dispute

was adapted by the Union and it was supported b y appreciable number of co-workmen.

18.

In view of the discussion made above, this Tribunal reaches the conclusion that the dispute of the workman

Jeevan Singh is of a private nature which has not been duly espoused by the Union / Parishad or by group of co-

workman. After this finding, the Tribunal loses its jurisdiction to entertain this matter. On this point learned counsel

for the Management has placed reliance in WP ( C ) Nos. 6682 of 2002 & 6247 of 2004 in between Management of

Messers Hotel Samrat Versus Government of NCT & Others. Para 12 of the said Judgment is being reproduced as

under:

“12.

The dispute between an individual workman and the employer can be treated as an industrial dispute

only where the workmen as a body or a considerable section of them, make common cause with the individual

workman and espoused his demand. The question arises how the espousal can be inferred. Espousal means

that the dispute of an individual workman is adapted by union as its own dispute or a large number of

workmen give support to the cause of an individual workman. In the instant case, the only evidence available

on record about espousal of the cause is the statement of the Secretary of the Union made before the Tribunal.

In his statement, he stated that he requested the management to treat workman Hira Singh at par with other

employees and grant him regular pay scale and he met the management for this purpose and on his

pursuance, the management started deducting provident from salary of the workman Hira Singh. There is no

evidence apart from this evidence about the espousal of the cause. Does mere lending of name of the union by

the union secretary while raising the conciliation proceedings or for issuing notice amount to ‘espousal’ of

cause Union is a representative body of the workmen. The cause of any workman can be espoused collectively

by the Executive Body of the union by taking a decision in this respect. This decision may not be taken in a

formal manner but can be taken in an informal manner but it has to be a collective decision of the executive

body of the union. An individual member of the Executive body cannot take the character of the entire union

and cannot bind the union. Merely because the union secretary met the management and requested for giving

a regular appointment letter to the workman, would not amount to espousal of the cause. In this case, this is

the only evidence available on record in respect of espousal. In J.H. Jadhav’s case (supra), the Supreme

Court observed that the union must formally express itself in the form of a resolution which should be

approved by its members. However, the number of supporting members of the union may be relevant

depending upon facts of each case. In 1961 II LLJ 436 Bombay Union of Journalists vs. Hindi Bombay, the

Supreme Court observed that an individual dispute can take the character of an industrial dispute only if it

was proved that it was, before it was referred, supported by union of employees. In each case, for

ascertaining whether an individual dispute has assumed character of an industrial dispute, the test is whether

on the date of reference, the dispute was taken up and supported by the union of the workmen of the employer

against whom the dispute is raised by the individual workman or by an appreciable number of employees. In

this case, the Supreme Court observed that notice of the meeting for the purpose of considering request by the

members for tenable cause of concerned workmen was not given to the employees of the Hindu Board which

were not the members of the union at the relevant time. Hence, by mere passing of a resolution by other

members of the union, the case of the appellant that the cause of concern workmen was supported by the other

employees of Hindu Board, could not be supported. The Supreme Court observed that unless an individual

dispute was taken up by union of employees of the employer or by appreciable number of employees of the

union, it remains as an individual dispute and does not become an industrial dispute. In 2001 (89) FLR 458

Prakash and Ors vs. Superintending Engineer (ELEL) and Ors, the Karnataka High Court observed that an

individual can raise a dispute, only for removal, termination or dismissal. If the workman wants to raise a

3978

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

dispute for his absorption and regularization, that can only be done through the Union on behalf of the

workman or workmen.” (underlined by me)

19.

In paragraph 14, of the above mentioned judgment, Honourable High Court of Delhi has observed that once

the Tribunal decided the issue of espousal against the workman, the Tribunal lost its jurisdiction to adjudicate the

dispute since no industrial dispute existed.

20.

Therefore, This Tribunal refrains from entertaining the other Issues.

21.

The Reference is answered accordingly.

Passed on this 17th day of May 2017

1.

As per letter dated 30-5-14 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is

received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification No.L-

12011/22/2014-IR(B-I). The dispute under reference relates to:

“Whether the demand of Union claiming difference of wages in favour of Shri Ravindra Ganpat daily wage

employee from 13-5-08 to 30-11-10 is justified or not? If yes, what relief the daily wager is entitled for?”

2.

After receiving reference, notices were issued to the parties. Ist party workman submitted statement of claim

through General Secretary, Daily Wage Bank Employees Union. Case of Ist party workman is that 2nd party has power

to appoint temporary employees as per clause 20.7 of Bipartite settlement dated 19-10-66. When Ist party workman

was appointed as permanent person from 13-5-08 after holding his interview, he was paid Rs.100 per day. His wages

were increased Rs.3000 to 3500 per month. He completed more than 240 days service during each of the year. His

services were orally terminated without notice on 30-11-2010. He was not paid retrenchment compensation. He was

working under different Branch Managers. That he was not paid scale wages as per 9th Bipartite settlement under

which pay scale for subordinate staff was Rs. 5500-11000. That Ist party is claiming difference of wages for the

period of his employment.

3.

2nd party filed Written Statement opposing claim of workman. 2nd party raised preliminary objection that

workman as not appointed by Assistant General Manager neither he was engaged. The reference is not tenable. That the

Bank is established under Section 35(2) State Bank of Indore Act 1955. State Bank of Indore is merged in State Bank

of India on 28-7-12 as per clause 7 of notification of merger. Permanent regular officers/ employees are eligible for

service in State Bank of India daily Wagers are not shown eligible for service in the Bank. It is reiterated that Ist party

workman was engaged for casual work on daily wage basis. He was not appointed against sanctioned post. Workman

is not entitled to benefit of circular dated 7-9-92. 2nd party denied that workman was paid Rs.100 per day and his

salary were enhanced Rs.3000 to 3500 per month. It is denied that services of Ist party are terminated in violation of

Section 25-F of ID Act. On such ground, 2nd party prays for rejection of claim.

4.

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

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

(i) Whether the demand of Union claiming

difference of wages in favour of Shri Ravindra

Ganpat daily wage employee from 13-5-08 to 30-

11-10 is justified or not?

In Negative

(ii) If not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

Workman is not entitled to any relief.

II

(ii)

3981

REASONS

5.

Workman has not adduced evidence. The representative of workman submitted on 16-2-2016 he doesnot

want to adduce evidence. The term of reference pertains to claim for difference of wages as per Bipartite Settlement.

As per pleadings in Statement of claim, workman is claiming difference of wages as per 9th Bipartite Settlement. The

documents produced by workman regarding payment of wages, zerox copies of documents in R/104/12 has been

admitted. Documents shows workman was paid Rs.100 per day and for the period 1-8-08 onwards Rs.3000 per month.

The copy of circular dated 7-9-92 is also produced on record. Document prescribes wages for part time employees

working less than 3 hours, wages Rs.75 working less than 3 hours in branch having area 501 to 000 sq.feet Rs.120 etc

working 6-13 hours having Branch Area 1501 to 2000 sq.ft, 1/3rd scale wages. Management also did not adduce

evidence.

6.

Learned counsel for Ist party submitted copies of award in R/53/10 & R/79/11 & counsel for management

submitted copies of award in R/79/09 & R/7/12 for consideration. Each case requires to be decided considering facts

and evidence on record.

7.

In absence of evidence of both parties, the contentions of workman that he was working 8 hours every day is

not established. Even how much hours workman was working is also not established. When workman was paid Rs.100

per day since 1-8-08, he was paid Rs.3000 per month. Even if 1/3rd pay scale is to be allowed, it is not possible to

calculate the difference of wages workman would be entitled. Even if 30 % is calculated considering the workman was

paid Rs.3000 per month. It appears workman has already been paid more amount therefore claim of workman for

difference of wages cannot be upheld. For above reasons, I record my finding in Point No.1 in Negative.

8.

In the result, award is passed as under:-

(1)

The demand of Union claiming difference of wages in favour of Shri Ravindra Ganpat daily wage employee

from 13-5-08 to 30-11-10 is not legal.

(2)

Workman is not entitled to any relief.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

In the matter of an Industrial Dispute between :-

The Management of N.F.Railway , Lumding Division,Nagaon.

Vrs.

Workman Sri Manik Lal Chakrabarty, Karimganj, Assam.

APPEARANCES :

For the Workman. : Self Defence.

For the Management. : None Appeared.

Date of Award: 07.06.2017.

AWARD

1.

The present reference arose out of an Industrial Dispute between the workman Sri Maniklal Chakrabarty and

the Management of N.F. Railway. According to the Central Government, an Industrial Dispute exists between the

employer in relation to the Management of N.F. Railways and their workman in respect of the matters which have been

specified in the Schedule as under:

SCHEDULE

“Whether retrospective promotional benefit to Shri Manik Lal Chakraborty Ex PS/II to

AM/BPB/N.F.Railway, should be considered by the General Manager (P), N.F.Railway, Maligaon

Guwahati-781011 or not? Is he entitled for any compensation for the delay in effecting his promotion?”

2.

On receipt of the reference, notices were issued to the workman as well as the Management. In the mean time

the workman submitted his claim petition which was not in the format usually followed by the parties. However, the

gist of the claim was understandable from the “synopsis of the case” submitted by the workman. Despite service of

notice, the Management remained absent. Accordingly, vide order dated 5.4.17 the reference was ordered to proceed

ex-parte against the management.

3.

The workman submitted a synopsis of his claim/ case the gist of which is mentioned as under. He joined N.F.

Railway as Typist on 23.9.71 and was promoted as Stenographer at Badarpur on 10.9.1973. In the year 2003 he was

promoted as Stenographer Grade-I and in the year 2005 was promoted as Private Secretary- II. The claim of the

workman was initiated on that point. According to him, he was promoted by an order dated 13.12.2005 but it was not

communicated to him till 13.2.2006 and even then he was not released to join his upgraded assignment and

instead he was told that since he could not be spared he would be given the financial benefit of his promotion. He

further claimed that though he was entitled to get that financial benefit of promotion to Private Secretary-II from

13.12.2005, he was given that benefit from June, 2006 and on 31.8.2006 he retired on superannuation. According to

him he was entitled to get the benefit from the month of December, 2005 onward. In spite of his several appeals to the

authority, nothing happened and ultimately the matter could not be resolved on conciliation and the appropriate

government referred the matter to this Tribunal with the above reference.

4.

Because of absence of the management despite service of notice the matter proceeded ex-parte against the

management as per order passed by this Tribunal on 5.4.2017.

5.

The workman Sri Manik Lal Chakroborty examined himself as the only witness in this case.

6.

In his examination-in-chief the workman stated that on 23/09/1971 he joined N.F.Railway as Typist and was

promoted as Stenographer on 10.9.1973. In the year 2003 he was promoted as Stenographer Grade-I and then in the

year 2005 he was promoted to the Private Secretary-II. But, though the order of his promotion as Private Secretary-II

was issued on 13.12.2005, he was not served any copy of the same immediately and was communicated about the

promotion order on 13.2.2006. Because the authority could not spare him, he was promised that all his promotional

benefits will be given to him. But these were given to him from the month of June, 2006 to August, 2006 when he

retired on superannuation. He exhibited the correspondences regarding his promotion etc as Ext 1 to Ext. 6. He prayed

for releasing financial benefits to him from the month of December, 2005.

7.

On careful perusal of the evidence of the workman it appears that vide Exhibit-3, which is an office order

dated 13.12.2005, the workman who was at that point of time a Stenographer in Grade-I in the Scale of Rs.5,500 to

Rs.9,000/- was appointed with others to officiate as PS-II in the Scale of Rs.6500/- to Rs.10,500/- and he was directed

to be posted in the Office of ADRM, Lumding as PS-II. This order was admittedly issued on 13.12.2005 and the

workman appears to have claimed his promotion forthwith i.e. from the date of issue of the order ( 13.12.2005). It

however appears from Exhibit-1 as well as his evidence that the aforesaid promotion order was brought to his notice on

II

(ii)

3983

13.2.2006 and immediately thereafter he filed a prayer before the Area Manager, Badarpur, N.F. Railway for sparing

him to join as PS-II in the scale of Rs.6,500/- to Rs.10,500/- under ADRM, Lumding. Exhibit-2 is a communication

made to ADRM, Lumding by Area Manager, Badarpur, N.F Railway by which it was communicated to the ADRM that

though Sri Chakrabarty was promoted as PS-II in the Scale of Rs.6,500/- to Rs.10,500/- and posted under ADRM he

can not be spared without a reliever. It was however also mentioned in the communication that Sri Chakrabarty may be

given promotional benefit in his working place at Badarpur till such time his reliever is available. It was also mentioned

that Sri Chakrabarty will retire from his service on superannuation on 31.08.2006. Exhibit-4 is a communication from

the N.F.Railway Headquarter, Maligaon to all the DRMs. that whenever employees are not relieved even within 3

months of issue of promotion orders, such cases must be put up to DRM or Head of the Office and the Controlling

Officer to hold responsibility for not relieving the staff concerned. This communication dated 29.7.97 which stipulates

the policy regarding giving effect to promotion of the employees. Exhibit-5 is a letter by which the appeal of the

workman regarding giving effect to his promotion from the date of the issue of the promotion order i.e. 13.12.2005,

was forwarded to the General Manager, N.F.Railway, Maligaon. But nothing in that regard appeared to have been done

to give promotional benefit to the workman from the date of order of the promotion i.e. 13.12.2005. By Exhibit-6 the

workman wrote to the General Manager, N.F.Railway, Maligaon for giving effect of his promotion from the date of

issue of the promotional order i.e. 13.12.2005.

8.

From the evidence of the workman it appeared that the Authority at Badarpur did not release him on time and

he was told by the authority that if it was not possible to release him, all promotional benefits will be given to him at

Badarpur itself. It also appeared from his evidence that ultimately the Authority gave effect to the promotion in the

higher Scale from the month of June, 2006 and he ultimately retired on 31st August, 2006 which means that he got the

promotional benefits for the month of June, July, and August,2006. According to him he deserved to be promoted from

December,2005 and in spite of his repeated appeals the Authority did not give the aforesaid benefits to him. The

workman has now prayed to give effect to his promotional benefit with all consequential benefits by posting him in the

higher Scale of Rs.6,500/- to Rs.10,500/- with effect from 13.12.2005 retrospectively. In other words the workman

prayed that he be given the higher Scale from December,2005 to May, 2006 because from June,2006 the Authority put

him in the higher Scale. No lawyer appeared for the workman and nobody appeared for the Railways in this case and

the matter proceeded ex-parte against the Railways. From the evidence as well as the documents exhibited in the case it

appears that the workman rightly deserved to be promoted from the date of promotional order i.e. 13.12.2005 or at a

reasonably closer date as PS-II. Admittedly had he been released immediately he would have got the higher scale from

the date of the order itself or from the date of his joining. It is clear from the record that he was not released from his

existing duty at that point of time from Badarpur because of non-availability of reliever. Since this was not a mistake

on the part of the workman he should not be deprived of promotional benefits from the date when his promotion order

was issued. However the order of promotion was issued from Maligaon on the aforesaid date and it can be presumed

that even if the workman was released without unreasonable delay he could have been able to join the higher post of

PS-II in the month of January, 2006.

9.

In view of the above, it is decided that the workman Sri Manik Lal Chakrabarty, ex- PS-II be given the effect

of his promotion in the higher Scale of Rs .6,500/- to Rs.10,500/- from 1st of January,2006 retrospectively. His Pay

Scale shall stand revised in the higher Scale of Rs.6500- Rs.10500 with effect from 1st January, 2006 with all

consequential benefits as well as his pensionery benefits with retrospective effect. The concerned authority of the

N.F.Railway shall execute the above order within three months from the date of the receipt of the Award by them. Send

the Award to the ministry as per procedure.

Given under my hand and seal of this Court on this 7th day of June, 2017 at Guwahati.

NO DISPUTE AWARD

On 2.12.2014 workman filed claim statement before this Tribunal. Which was registered as ID. No. 100/2014.

Workman in his claim statement prayed as follows:-

i. He be reinstated with full back wages along with consequential benefits .

ii. He claimed Rs. 25000/- for expenses of litigation.

iii. Any other relief which court deem fit against claim statement.

At the time of framing of issue on 25.10.2016 it is pointed out by management that out of 21 workmen, 20 workmen

settled their dispute by way of settlement and they get due amount on Account of full and final payment.

Management on 15.11.2016 informed that workman Sh. Pappu never came office of management for settlement.

Sh. Pappu not turn up in this Tribunal on 15.11.2016.

Fresh notice was issued to him. On 3.1.2017 on which postman made an endorsement that workman is not traceable. I

directed management of DMRC to file response to reference. In –compliance of my order management No. 2.(BVG)

moved an application by way of reference. Where-in he mentioned as follows:-

1.

That the aforementioned matter is pending before this Hon’ble Court and workmen is not attending the

same last one year.

2.

That the claimant never approached to management as other co-workers have already settled their claims

with management No. 2 i.e. BVG India Ltd. And this Honble Authority had also passed settlement award

on 04.02.2016.

3.

It is submitted that neither claimant nor union is interested to represent the case so it is humble request to

this Hon’ble Authority to dismiss the matter on the basis of this application as it is not possible to attend the

matter from management side on each date without workmen.

In these circumstances it is crystal clear that neither workman appeared before management for settlement nor

adducing his evidence in this Tribunal in support of his case.

Although this Tribunal is required to decide industrial dispute with-in period of 3 months. So this Tribunal has no

option except to pass no dispute award in the instant case inwant of evidence of workman.

Which is accordingly decided.

“Whether the workman Sh. Sanjai Kumar was removed from the services of State Bank of India w.e.f

3986

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Workman in support of his claim examine himself to tender the affidavit filed in his evidence along with certain

documents he was partly cross-examined by Ld.A/R for the management. When she adopted delaying tactics to

prolong the process of cross-examination of workman and she remained adamant not to cross-examine workman. Then

I closed her right of cross-examination with WW1. Thereafter Ld. A/R for the workman closed the remaining evidence

of workman and I fixed the date for management evidence. After sufficient opportunity management has not adduced

any evidence then I felt that management is defaulting party as per provision of Rule 10-B Industrial Dispute (Central )

Rules, 1957 . The dormancy of management remained continued. So I fixed 30.05.2017 for ex-parte arguments of

workman. On 30.05.2017 I was on leave but written arguments on behalf of workman filed. However copy of which

supplied to management and fixed 6.6.2017 for arguments by management .

On 6.6.2017 I reserved the award .

In the light of contents mentioned in written arguments supported with principles laid down by their lordship of

Hon’ble Supreme Court in case of Sudarshan Rajpoot Versus Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation

(2015)2 Supreme Court Cases 317.

And in case of Raj Kumar Dixit Versus Vijay Kumar Gauri Shanker (2015)9 Supreme Court cases 345 as well as

finding of Civil Appeal No. 346 of 2015 Jasmer Singh Versus State of Haryana & Anr. Decided by Hon’ble Supreme

Court on 13.01.2015.

In the light of contents of the written arguments of workman I perused the pleadings and only evidence of workman

which is virtually without cross-examination. Although cross-examination is meant to challenge the veracity of the

witness. Inwant cross-examination veracity of WW1 is unchallenged. Hence this Tribunal has no option except to rely

on reliable and credible and required evidence of workman especially inwant of cross-examination of WW1 as well as

in want of management evidence.

On the basis of which question of determination No. 1 is liable to be decided in favour of workman and against

management . Which is accordingly decided.

Findings on question of determination No. 2 on schedule of reference. This question of determination relates to relief

of workman under which it is to be determined whether workman is entitled to be reinstated the workman with back

wages or any compensation.

In the light of contents mentioned in written arguments of workman I perused the pleadings of ex-parte evidence of

workman supported with settled law of principle of law laid down by their lordship of Hon’ble Supreme Court. So

principles laiddown by Hon’ble Supreme Court has binding force to all courts of India as per provision of Article 141

of Indian Constitution. So this Tribunal is bound to follow the principle according to provision of Article of Indian

Constitution.

In the light of contentions and ex-parte evidence of workman. Workman is only entitled for reasonable compensation.

In circumstances of the instant case reasonable compensation to workman is Rs. 5,00,000/- (5 Lacs) .

As workman has become over age to get any other job either in Government or Semi-Government concern and conduct

of management in removal of workman from the service of State Bank of India w.e.f 7.1.2012 has already beenheld

without any valid reason and due procedure. So aforesaid compensation is awarded to workman and management of

State Bank of India is directed to pay such compensation within two months after expiry of available remedy against

this Award.

Failing which workman shall also be entitled for 6 % p.a. with interest on the aforesaid amount of compensation from

management of State Bank of India.

Thus, Reference is liable to be decided in favour of workman and against management. Which accordingly decided.

Claim statement is partly allowed.

Award is accordingly passed.

AWARD

18.7.2016

1.

The Central Government in exercise of the powers conferred under clause (d) of Sub-Section 1 & 2(A) of

Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act 1947 has referred the following Industrial dispute to this tribunal for

adjudication:-

“Whether the action of the management of West Central Railway, Kota through DRM, Kota in

awarding punishment of compulsory retirement to Sri Laxmin Narayana Meena, Marker vide their

order dated 9.2.2005, is legal and justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled and from

which date?”

2.

Briefly fact of the case is that applicant Sh. Laxminaryan Meena was appointed on 21.10.82 to the post of

Marker against permanent vacancy from scheduled Tribe quota. A disciplinary proceeding was conducted against him

and in consequence thereof he was compulsorily retired from the service vide office order dated 9.2.2005. The charge

for which the applicant was held guilty was false accusation made by him against officers of the department. The

appeal against the order of punishment preferred by applicant failed.

3.

According to statement of claim in 1985 he was posted on ad-hoc basis to the post of Ticket Collector

(T.C.)/Checker & continued till 1990. He was also given award by General Manager (AGM). Applicant participated in

the examination conducted by the department to the post of T.C. & qualified the written examination on 8.1.1990 but

his name did not appear in the declared list dated 22.2.1990 of successful candidates. Name of another applicant worker

Sh. Girishchand ( R), Bhisti also did not appear in the list dated 22.2.1990. It has been further alleged that vide order

dated 3.3.1990 of Divisional Rail Manager, Kota list of successful candidates promoted to the post of Ticket Collector

were published & their joining was given on railway stations on 4.3.1990 although Saturday & Sunday remains holiday

in the office of DRM. Aggrieved with the list of successful candidates Sh. Girishchand(R ), Sh. Premraj Meena &

II

(ii)

3989

others filed an O.A. No.122/90 before the Hon’ble CAT, Jaipur in which reply was submitted by Railway that name of

the petitioners were not existing in the panel of successful candidates. Later O.A. No.122/90 was dismissed on 20.9.93

by Hon’ble CAT. Subsequent to this event & four year later after publication of the list of 1990 panel Sh. Girishchand

(R), Bhisti was given promotion to the three successive grades of T.C., T.T.E. & C.T.C. with all financial benefits.

Thereafter, applicant filed O.A. 1099/92 before the Hon’ble CAT to secure the benefits to a grade lower to the highest

grade achieved by Sh. Girishchand(R ) which was decided on 22.8.1994 directing the railway department to give the

benefit to the applicant equivalent to the benefit made available to Sh. Girishchand (R ), Bhisti. Opposite party has not

preferred any appeal before the Hon’ble Supreme Court against the order of the Hon’ble Tribunal. When applicant was

not extended the benefit equivalent to Sh. Girishchand (R), Bhisti, he preferred contempt application before the

Hon’ble CAT wherein the department was ordered to comply the direction within four week. It has been alleged that

aggrieved by the order of the Hon’ble CAT in contempt proceeding applicant was served with charge-sheet dated

5.9.2000 & was removed from service in mala fide way.

4.

According to statement of para 7 of the claim charge sheet was issued on 8.9.2000 to the applicant on baseless

& untrue grounds by an officer of the department who was not competent to issue the charge-sheet & documents

relating to the charge were not supplied to the applicant on demand. Thus, without furnishing opportunity to the

applicant to make reply against the charge enquiry proceeding was started ex-parte. Notice of the commencement of

ex-parte enquiry proceeding was also not given to applicant & order of punishment was passed against the applicant ex-

parte deeming the charges proved on the basis of ex-parte enquiry proceeding. It has been further alleged that punishing

of the applicant on the basis of such ex-parte enquiry is not only illegal & unjust but also against the principle of natural

justice.

5.

It has been further alleged that order of punishment of compulsory retirement can be passed only by the

appointing authority & not by any officer subordinate to him & according to the direction of railway board only such

officer will be appointing officer who has really appointed the person & not the officer who is having only power to

appoint. The order of punishment of compulsory retirement has not been passed by appointing officer, hence, the order

of punishment of compulsory retirement is illegal. It has been further alleged that before passing the order of

compulsory retirement applicant was not given opportunity of defence & personal hearing, hence, order of punishment

is liable to be quashed.

6.

It has been further alleged in para 9 of the claim that it has been mentioned in order of punishment that

applicant was called repeatedly in enquiry proceeding but he kept on demanding additional documents & did not

appear in enquiry proceeding. In this connection it has been alleged that according to directive of railway board if an

employee does not participate in disciplinary proceeding then disciplinary proceedings conducted during his absence

shall be treated as none providing of opportunity of defence & accordingly such ex-parte disciplinary proceeding shall

be held to be illegal. If, applicant would have been provided with documents & given opportunity of appearance &

participation in disciplinary proceedings then enquiry must have been impartial. Applicant had further demanded

change of enquiry officer because impartial enquiry was not anticipated from him but despite many request the enquiry

officer was not changed, on this ground also the enquiry is illegal & unfair. It has also been alleged that punishment

awarded is excessive according to nature of charge.

7.

According to allegation in para 13 of statement of claim enquiry was not completed within period of 60 days

prescribed by Railway Board, hence, enquiry conducted against the violation of rule prescribed by Railway Board is

liable to be quashed. Enquiry report & document related to enquiry proceeding were not supplied to the applicant at

the time or prior to the time of compulsory retirement, hence, order of compulsory retirement is illegal & liable to be

quashed.

8.

In para 15 of statement of claim it has been alleged that before punishing with punishment of compulsory

retirement applicant was not provided opportunity of defence according to Article 311(2) of Indian Constitution &

despite the mentioning of documents in charge sheet neither documents were provided nor shown to the applicant &

access to the documents were denied with contention that documents are secret. It has also been contended that under

Rule 14(11) there is right of personal hearing to the appellant/applicant which was not provided , thus, order of

punishment is unfair & illegal & liable to be quashed on the ground of violation of Rule 14(11). The punishment of

compulsory retirement was ordered at the time when applicant had to bear greater responsibility of his family & his

children were at the stage of schooling. The punishment has affected the education of the children beside future of the

applicant, hence, order of punishment is liable to be quashed.

9.

In reply to statement of claim it has been alleged in preliminary objection that applicant was charged for false

accusation against the officer of the department in relation to written false complaint made by applicant about selection

of candidate for promotion. While he was working on the post of ‘Marker’ he was served with charge sheet dated

5.9.2000 & punished after conclusion of enquiry with compulsory retirement for the breach of Rule 3.1(1) & (III) of

Railway Service Conduct Rules, 1966. It has been further alleged that applicant is not entitled to any relief & statement

of claim is liable to be dismissed.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

10.

In para wise reply to statement of claim it has been alleged that statements in paras 1, 2, 3 require no

comment. Statement in para 4 has been partially admitted to the extent of appointment of applicant on 21.10.82, rest

has been denied. Para 5 has been partially admitted & rest has been denied. It has been admitted that applicant was

issued with charge sheet in relation to false complaint made by him regarding selection for promotion of candidates &

was punished with compulsory retirement after completion of disciplinary proceeding. It has been further alleged that

applicant submitted his appeal dated 23.2.2005 against the order of punishment to Divisional Commercial Manager on

9.11.2005 affixing forged stamp regarding receipt of the appeal which was disposed by appellate authority assigning

sufficient reason & informing the applicant within time. Representation dated 20.3.2006 against the order of appellate

authority was made by applicant & in reply to this representation a copy of the order of appellate authority was again

sent to the applicant again vide letter dated 25.4.2006 . The entire proceeding adopted against applicant by opposite

party has been under Railway Service Rules. Against statements in Paras 6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17,19 it has been

alleged that they are denied as alleged. Against para 18 it has been alleged that it requires no answer.

11.

Further it has been alleged in para 7 & onward paras that after finding that complaint of the applicant was false

he was served with a charge sheet by competent officer, Assistant Commercial Manager (ACM), Kota. On demand of

related documents by the applicant before the competent authority (ACM) documents whose copy could not be given

were made available for inspection to applicant but copies of the same were not made available on the ground of

secrecy attached to the document & applicant was made aware of the fact that copies of the document are not being

supplied on the ground of secrecy.

12.

Further it has been alleged that repeated summons were sent to the applicant but owing to absence of

applicant enquiry proceedings proceeded ex-parte. It has been further alleged that during enquiry proceeding there has

been no breach of rule & enquiry proceeding has taken place following general rules & principles of natural justice. It

has been further alleged that enquiry proceeding against the applicant has been done according to Railway Service

Conduct Rules, 1966. In para 8 of the reply it has been alleged that despite entire documents mentioned in the charge

sheet supplied to the applicant he failed to participate in enquiry proceeding. He was summoned many time to appear &

participate in the proceeding putting his defence but applicant continued demanding additional documents & he did not

appear in enquiry proceeding. Against the demand of additional documents applicant was replied in writing that he

may demand additional documents from enquiry officer. Applicant demanded additional documents from enquiry

officer & the enquiry officer had informed the applicant that documents are secret, hence, copy of the documents

cannot be supplied. Beside the reply that copy of the documents cannot be given to the applicant, applicant was shown

the documents during enquiry on 5.4.2002, yet applicant failed to appear during enquiry proceeding. In above

circumstances, charges having been found proved against the applicant he was punished by competent officer with

compulsory retirement from service. It has been further alleged that under disciplinary rule there is no

compulsion to provide opportunity of hearing to an employee before imposing the punishment of compulsory

retirement from service & Applicant also in representation dated 6.5.2004 had not made any request in this

regard, hence, opposite party has not committed breach of any disciplinary rule. Further in para 8 it has been

alleged that the officer was fully competent & authorised to pass the order of compulsory retirement which is in

conformity with law, hence, applicant is not entitled to any relief from the tribunal.

13.

In para 9 it has been further alleged that copy of all the documents were supplied to the applicant as mentioned

in the charge sheet. Additional documents demanded by applicant were made available by enquiry officer to the

applicant for inspection but there copies were not supplied because of their secrecy & applicant was told about this

thing during enquiry. Due to none appearance of applicant despite repeated summon enquiry was completed ex-parte &

copy of the enquiry report was given to the applicant within time & he was given opportunity to provide his defence

during the enquiry. Contention of the applicant is completely untrue that during enquiry he asked the enquiry officer to

show & supply the copies of all the documents & he was denied the same with reply that they are secret documents.

Opportunity of inspection of the documents were provided to the applicant whose copies could not be supplied to him

on account of secrecy & applicant inspected those documents. On 28.2.2002 during preliminary enquiry applicant was

given explanation regarding additional documents demanded by him & had raised no objection at that time which

should have been raised if, there was any objection. Applicant was also repeatedly asked to give the name of his

defence representative but applicant failed to name his defence representative. In above circumstances, enquiry

proceeding conducted by opposite party has been according to rules.

14.

It has been further alleged in para 10 that after repeated summons if workman remains absent during enquiry

proceeding then ex-parte enquiry may be concluded against him according to rules. It has been further alleged that

demand of the applicant to change the enquiry officer was considered by competent officer but the demand was not

found just & applicant was informed about the decision of the not changing the enquiry officer. The order of

compulsory retirement against the applicant is due to his misconduct against the Railway Service Conduct Rules, 1966

& accordingly the contention of the applicant is entirely wrong that action against him is mala fide. It has been further

alleged that O.A. No.1099/92 presented by applicant in this matter was adjudicated by Hon’ble CAT on 22.8.1994 &

contempt proceeding initiated by applicant was dismissed by the Hon’ble CAT on 6.12.2000. The order of punishment

is in compliance with disciplinary rules. Applicant is not entitled to any relief from the tribunal under provision of

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Applicant has been provided full opportunity to present his reply. He has been called

II

(ii)

3991

repeatedly to appear in enquiry proceeding & due to his deliberate failure to appear ex-parte enquiry proceeding was

adopted.

15.

In para 14, 15 & 16 of the reply to the statement of claim it has been alleged that copy of enquiry report &

document related to the enquiry proceeding were given to the applicant prior to his compulsory retirement from the

service & entire disciplinary proceeding has taken place against the applicant in accordance with law. Applicant was

provided opportunity to present his case & defence during entire proceeding. On demand by applicant all concerned

documents were made available to the applicant for inspection & perusal by enquiry officer & only copy of the secret

documents were not provided & applicant was informed that copies are not being provided because the documents are

secret. Secret documents were also allowed to be inspected & extract of the same allowed to be noted as required by

applicant. Further it has been alleged that the applicant affixed the forged stamp regarding receipt of appeal on

23.2.2005 & submitted it on 4.11.2005 to Divisional Commercial Manager & the disposal of appeal was made by

appellate authority informing the applicant. The ex-parte enquiry proceeding has taken place against the applicant

according to rule & ex-parte proceeding was done due to none appearance of the applicant.

16.

It has been alleged in para 17 of the reply that none co-operative approach of the applicant is clearly revealed

& confirmed from the entire enquiry proceeding & punishment awarded to the applicant by disciplinary authority is

just & legal. Further it has been alleged that statement of claim is liable to be dismissed with cost.

17.

In rejoinder, reply to statement of claim has been said to be baseless, fabricated, untrue & not based on record.

In rejoinder allegations in the statement of claim have been reiterated.

18.

Heard the argument of learned representative of both the parties & perused the record carefully. Written

argument by applicant has been filed on record. No written argument & judicial precedents have been filed by opposite

party. Following rulings have been filed on behalf of applicant :-

On 22.9.2015 applicant has filed order of Hon’ble High Court dated 10.9.2015 wherein direction has been

made to dispose this case within six months & further parties have been directed to co-operate with tribunal in early

disposal of the case. According to expectation of the applicant attempt was made to have the award prepared in Hindi

language & a major portion of the time was consumed in Hindi typing. Before the award could be completed the

concerned clerk proceeded on long leave hence, award writing was undertaken afresh in English language.

20.

It has been argued by the learned representative of the applicant orally & also on page 2 & 3 of the written

argument that applicant had demanded the copy of the complaint dated 15.9.99 alleged to have been made by applicant

which was not given to him & he has also mentioned this fact in the proceeding of the enquiry dated 5.4.2002 ( Annex-

25) hence, in absence of the alleged copy of the complaint applicant could not prove that the allegation of making

complaint against him is false. It has also been argued that non-supply of the copy of the document is violation of

Article 311 of the Indian Constitution. Reliance has been placed on the cases reported in 1969 S.L.R. 479, Mysore

High Court, A.K. Narain.......Petitioner v/s the General Manager, Southern Railway & Others.... Respondent & 1967

S.L.R. 759, S.C. Tirlok Nath.... Petitioner v/s Union of India & others.... Respondent. The applicant has further

alleged about the complaint dated 15.9.99 sent to vigilance office that the alleged complaint was neither shown to the

applicant nor applicant was asked by enquiry officer that applicant has made this complaint or not. Further, it has been

alleged that copy of the complaint was not given by the tribunal also when applicant applied for the copy of the said

complaint & no order was passed by the tribunal to supply the copy of the alleged complaint hence, charge against the

applicant for making the alleged complaint is not proved. Further, it has been argued that applicant in statement of

claim & his affidavit dated 18.5.2011 had said that charge against him is wrong , false & fabricated & Shri S.N.Salim,

3992

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Vigilance Inspector has deposed before the enquiry officer that he was assigned the work of investigation in relation to

complaint dated 15.9.99 but the copy of the complaint was not given to applicant on demand through his application

dated 18.2.2001. It has been further alleged that applicant in his affidavit dated 18.5.11 has alleged that he has not made

the complaint dated 15.9.99 & might have been made by the opposite party itself hence, punishment awarded on the

basis of such charge memo is void & original copy of the alleged complaint has not been filed before the tribunal &

instead of complaint dated 15.9.99 some false complaint dated 6.9.99 has been filed before the tribunal hence, charge

is not proved against the applicant. It has been further alleged that applicant in his rejoinder & affidavit dated 18.5.11

has said that he did not sent any complaint to the vigilance & if there is any complaint existing as such the same is false

& have been made by some miscreants but neither during preliminary enquiry any query was made from applicant by

enquiry officer nor attention was given by tribunal towards the contention made in rejoinder, affidavit & written

argument of the applicant whereas the enquiry report was unfair & it should have been declared unfair & fresh enquiry

should have been conducted by tribunal. It has been further alleged that in the order dated 22.1.2016 on fairness of

enquiry complaint dated 6.9.99 has been shown whereas the charges is based on the complaint dated 15.9.99 on which

order of punishment has been based hence, charge is liable to be dismissed.

21.

Against above argument it has been argued by the learned representative of the opposite party that entire

argument of the applicant is connected with fairness of enquiry & on 20.1.2016 order has already been passed by

tribunal on the point of fairness of enquiry & tribunal is not having propriety to review the order dated 20.1.2016. In

relation to providing copy of charge sheet & document related with charge sheet & copy of other documents not

related with charge sheet it has been argued against the argument of applicant that copy of all the documents related to

charge sheet have been given to the applicant & documents whose copies have not been given on the ground of secrecy

such document have been shown to the applicant with permission to make note of any relevant information desired by

the applicant & nothing has been done by opposite party in relation to documents in violation of principle of natural

justice. In this regard reference has been made to receipt of document by applicant dated 3.11.2000 & note made by

applicant in his Annexure-25 in relation to document wherein it has been alleged that documents demanded by

applicant relating to enquiry has already been given to him on 28.2.2002. It has been further argued with reference to

enquiry proceeding dated 28.2.2002 that proceeding dated 28.2.2002 was the last proceeding in relation to documents

& applicant on 28.2.2002 went satisfied after enquiry proceeding in relation to documents & 5.4.2002 was next date

fixed according to his satisfaction. It has been further alleged that on 28.2.2002 applicant departed after enquiry

alleging that he will come prepared to participate on 5.4.2002 but he never turned up thereafter & entire attempt of the

enquiry officer & management to secure his presence in enquiry failed whereupon enquiry officer was compelled to

proceed ex-parte during enquiry proceeding against the applicant. It has been further argued that affidavit dated

18.5.2011 filed by applicant is irrelevant & needless & charge against the applicant have been proved & argument of

the applicant is liable to be rejected.

22.

Before I proceed to discuss the issues connected with arguments of both the parties, it is necessary to mention

that order on fairness of enquiry has already been passed on 20.1.2016 & It has been held that there was no denial of

fair play to the applicant & the enquiry conducted against him is found fair & proper. From the side of applicant again

points relating to providing of documents have been raised connected with fairness of enquiry at the time of present

final disposal of the case hence, it is possible that there may be occasionally discussions of the connected facts already

taken during fairness of enquiry at the cost of repetition.

23.

The complaint alleged to be made by applicant Laxminarayan to Chief Vigilance Officer is available on record

as mentioned below :-

It is important to mention that applicant’s complaint dated 15.9.99 is the first document of the charge sheet

which is available on the record as complaint dated 6.9.99 instead of complaint dated 15.9.99. This change in date from

15.9.99 to 6.9.99 has been made a ground by the applicant & argued that neither there is complaint dated 15.9.99 nor its

copy has been given to the applicant hence, entire allegation of the management is fabricated that applicant had made a

complaint dated 15.9.99. Against this, it has been alleged by learned representative of opposite party that applicant has

been instrumental in securing interpolation in the document & somehow his aim is to show some shortcoming in the

enquiry proceeding. It has been further alleged that appearance of date 6.9.99 on the complaint dated 15.9.99 is the

result of wrong act of the applicant because content of the complaint is same which is showing the date 6.9.99 instead

of 15.9.99 & appearance of date 6.9.99 is the result of wrongful act of the applicant. It has been further alleged that

applicant has received the copy of the complaint dated 15.9.99 & has accepted making this complaint dated 15.9.99

during enquiry proceeding on 22.12.99 before Shri S.N.Salim, Chief Vigilance Inspector hence, if applicant denies

making complaint dated 15.9.99 or its content then it is responsibility of the applicant to prove that which is the

complaint whose copy has been received by him on 3.11.2000 & has been accepted before S.N.Saleem. Chief

Vigilance Inspector to have been made by him to vigilance department. It has been further argued that argument of the

applicant in relation to complaint dated 15.9.99 is irrelevant, baseless & based on untruth. It is pertinent to mention

here that after order of fairness of enquiry dated 22.1.2016 applicant applied before the tribunal for copy of complaint

dated 15.9.99 which was not supplied in view of the fact that complaint is available on record but it bears the date

6.9.99 instead of 15.9.99. To clarify this point & secure a better solution to this issue that complaint dated 6.9.99

existing on record is same i.e. dated 15.9.99 opposite party was directed by tribunal on 4.4.2016 to file the original

complaint dated 15.9.99 on record. The order dated 4.4.2016 was made so that it’s copy may be supplied to the

applicant & the fact of making change from 15.9.99 to 6.9.99 may be clarified undisputedly beside comparing the

contents of original complaint & the complaint dated 6.9.99 existing on record but on 12.4.16 written information was

submitted by opposite party that original complaint dated 15.9.99 was missing and not found in record room &

confidential department of the Railway. From the above fact & circumstances, I am of the view that there is no reason

to extend to the applicant any benefit because of loss of original complaint from the record because original complaint

was existing on enquiry record during enquiry proceeding & photocopy as well as certified copy of the complaint has

been received by the applicant during enquiry proceeding. It is also pertinent to note that no such claim has been made

3994

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

by applicant in his statement of claim or rejoinder that compliant dated 15.9.99 did not exist. No benefit can be

extended to the applicant due to any interpolation in the complaint or its loss subsequent to enquiry proceeding & if the

complaint dated 15.9.99 was not existing then it must have been raised at the time when its copy was supplied to the

applicant. No such objections were raised because nothing wrong connected to the complaint was existing at the time

when copy of the complaint was delivered to the applicant. In above fact & circumstances, I am of the view that

contention of the applicant is wrong that complaint dated 15.9.99 was not existing & its copy was not supplied to him.

From bare perusal of the photocopy of the complaint dated 6.9.99 existing on record it is evident that digit 1 has been

erased out of digit 15 & typed digit 5 has been converted into 6 by hand. Complaint dated 15.9.99 was existing & it was

made by applicant, this fact has been admitted by applicant in para 6 of his representation dated 6.5.2004 against

enquiry report dated 20.9.2000 which reads as under:—

25.

Further it is important to note that in his receipt/acknowledgement dated 3.11.2000 applicant has

acknowledged the receipt of his complaint dated 15.9.99 & copy of his statement dated 22.12.99 before Chief

Vigilance Inspector. After 3.11.2000 further applicant on his demand has been provided with certified copy of these

two documents along with others & he has furnished receipt dated 22.2.2001 for the same. Looking into admission of

the applicant in para 6 of his representation & his receipt dated 3.11.2000 & 22.2.01 I am of the view that contention of

the applicant is wrong & baseless that he did not make the complaint dated 15.9.99 & there was no such complaint in

existence & he was not supplied with the copy of the complaint.

26.

As far as filing of affidavit dated 18.5.11 in support of his contention by the applicant is concerned this

affidavit was filed by him as evidence on the basis that applicant was required to file evidence in support of his claim

but filing of affidavit in evidence was not required to be filed by the parties as mentioned by the learned presiding

officer in order dated 1.6.12. Thus, statement of applicant on affidavit dated 18.5.11 carried no evidential value which

is uncross-examined.

27.

As far as the question of delivery of copies of documents relating to charge sheet & copies of those documents

not related to charge sheet to the applicant is concerned, I find it necessary & proper to mention brief detail of date wise

proceedings & events which will help in appreciating the entire written & oral argument of the parties. The date wise

events are as under:-

28.

It is pertinent to mention that on 3.11.2000 applicant has submitted to the management receipt of all the 7

documents relating to charge sheet wherein hindi version of charge sheet has also been given. At the time of receiving

these documents applicant has made note on the receipt that documents 1 to 7 mentioned in Annex-III of charge sheet

are illegible & uncertified hence, reply cannot be made. It was necessary on the part of applicant not to receive the

documents which were illegible but he did not do so. The fact of receipt of these documents has been admitted by

applicant in his letter dated 10.12.2000 addressed to disciplinary authority also wherein he has demanded legible &

certified copies. As additional documents he has demanded answer sheets of Sh. Girishchand, copy of valuation table &

marks awarded in interview, copy of vigilance enquiry report relating to Sh. Girishchand & copy of order of Railway

board on the basis of which Sh. Girishchand was declared successful, copy of order recommending name of Sh.

Girishchand to be included in the list of successful candidates & copy of statement of Sh. S.N.Salim, Chief Vigilance

Inspector. In reply to applicant’s demand letter dated 10.12.2000 Sh. A.P.Mishra, disciplinary authority/ Assistant

Commercial Manager, Ist, Kota vide his letter dated 13.2.2000 through Station Manager, Kota, under whom applicant

was working, has sent certified & legible copy of all the documents related to charge sheet & requested the applicant

that beside the documents sent by him whatever other documents are required they may be demanded from the enquiry

officer during enquiry. On 22.2.2001 applicant has received all the documents sent by disciplinary authority vide his

letter dated 13.2.2001. Applicant has again sent a demand letter dated 18.2.2001 reiterating the contention of letter

dated 10.12.2000.

29.

At the end of proceeding on 28.2.2002 relating to documents as indicated above it is evident that according to

the choice of applicant 5.4.2002 was next date fixed for regular hearing & applicant left the place of enquiry after

ensuring his appearance on 5.4.2002. At the end of the proceeding on 28.2.2002 there emerged no dispute in relation to

documents & applicant left the place with satisfaction on the point of documents. If there was any dissatisfaction the

applicant must have raised that at the end of proceeding but he did not show any dissatisfaction on 28.2.2002.

35.

Prior to date of enquiry on 5.4.2002 enquiry officer vide his letter dated 6.3.2002 again requested the applicant

to provide consent regarding defence representative so that he may be intimated to make appearance on 5.4.2002

during enquiry. He further requested that if applicant is not interested in giving consent for defence representative he

must ensure his presence on 5.4.2002. Further, vide letter dated 14.3.2002 the enquiry officer informed the applicant

that if he requires any other document during enquiry that too may be considered. The enquiry officer during enquiry

on 5.4.2002 assured the applicant to give him copy of the document on 5.4.2002 itself relating to inclusion of name of

Sh. Girishchand on the panel dated 22.2.90. On 5.4.2002 applicant was also shown the order of Railway Board which

was said to be a secret document on the basis of which Sh. Girishchand was promoted & his name was added on the

panel of successful candidates. Applicant was also shown the documents 1 to 7 relating to letter dated 8.2.2000 which

were said to be secret documents. At the end of proceeding on 5.4.2002 applicant told the enquiry officer that without

Hindi version he is unable to read the documents & unless he is provided with Hindi version of the documents & the

documents mentioned in charge sheet he is unable to participate in the enquiry & further without aid of counsellor he

cannot continue with the enquiry. For the next date of enquiry proceeding on 17.6.2002 summon by registered post was

returned back from the applicant by refusal & applicant remained absent in enquiry proceeding on 17.6.2002. Vide

letter of Station Manager, Kota dated 18.7.2002 information was received that applicant is absenting himself since

18.4.2002. It is pertinent to mention that 5.4.2002 was date fixed for recording the evidence of witness during regular

proceeding but that date was utilized for inspection & perusal of the documents by applicant which were alleged to be

secret document. Applicant was permitted to note the extracts from the document . For the next dates of enquiry on

19.7.2002 & 14.8.2002 summons sent to applicant by registered post were received back because the applicant refused

II

(ii)

3997

to receive them. For the next date of enquiry on 28.8.2002 applicant was intimated vide letter dated 14.8.2002

informing that if applicant fails to appear in enquiry on 28.8.2002 the enquiry proceeding against the applicant shall

proceed ex-parte. Applicant did not appear on 28.8.2002 & the enquiry against him proceeded ex-parte & statement of

Sh. S.N.Salim, Chief Vigilance Inspector was recorded.

36.

Detail of proceeding dated 28.8.2002 with statement of Sh. S.N. Salim was sent to applicant by registered post

vide enquiry officer’s letter dated 1.10.2002 asking the applicant to sent his defence (brief) wherein applicant was

provided 10 days time from the date of receipt of proceeding dated 28.8.2002. The proceeding dated 28.8.2002 was

received by applicant but defence (brief) was not sent by him to enquiry officer till the date of preparation of enquiry

report on 31.10.2002. The enquiry report dated 31.10.2002 was submitted to disciplinary authority.

37.

It is important to mention that Sh. S.P. Dixit, enquiry officer after his appointment has worked in presence of

applicant only on three dates i.e. 4.2.2002, 28.2.2002 & 5.4.02 and before the date of hearing on 5.4.2002 applicant

submitted two applications on 3.4.2002 to Revisional Authority/Senior Divisional Commercial Manager wherein in

one application he demanded the change of enquiry officer & in another application he reiterated the demand of

documents. On 4.2.2002 during enquiry proceeding no business has been carried out except filing of an application by

applicant containing list of document demanded by him & on 28.2.2002 discussions have been made relating to

documents. The ground of change of enquiry officer is that he is having negative attitude towards applicant & he is

harsh on caste line & this is evident from the proceeding dated 28.2.2002. He has further alleged that enquiry officer is

troubling him by saying that documents are secret & he is overlooking the directions of Railway Board in the matter of

enquiry hence, enquiry may be stayed & enquiry officer replaced. The main objection of the applicant is that the

enquiry officer is from general category who is not impartial & his activities are against the interest of applicant. From

the above circumstance it is evident that the enquiry officer has worked effectively in the enquiry proceeding in

presence of applicant only on 28.8.2002 & 5.4.02 & only on the basis of two day’s working applicant has formed an

adverse opinion against him. About the choice & suitability of enquiry officer in the present case applicant has

expressed his desire in para 5 & 6 of his representation dated 6.5.2004 which reads as under:—

38.

The management after considering the application of the applicant for change of enquiry officer has concluded

that first enquiry officer has already been replaced on the application of the applicant & applicant is trying to keep the

enquiry pending & not co-operating in the enquiry proceeding. The application of the applicant was rejected observing

that enquiry has attained the stage where change of enquiry officer will further delay the enquiry & thus there is no

need to change the enquiry officer.

39.

The Disciplinary authority vide his letter dated 30.4.2003 asked applicant to file his representation against

enquiry report within 15 days from date of receipt of enquiry report. The letter dated 30.4.2003 was returned back by

Station Manager with endorsement that applicant is absenting since 1.4.2003 & photo copy of letter has been pasted on

notice board.

40.

The enquiry report dated 31.10.2002 was finally received by applicant on 23.4.2004 & applicant submitted his

representation dated 6.5.2004 against enquiry report to the disciplinary authority. The disciplinary authority/Assistant

Divisional Commercial Manager-1, Sh. Amardip Singh, considered the representation of the applicant & thereafter

passed the order of punishment dated 9.2.2005 for compulsory retirement of the applicant from service.

41.

Against the order of punishment of disciplinary authority dated 9.2.2005 applicant presented appeal before

Divisional Commercial Manager. The appeal dated 23.2.2005 has been shown to be received on 23.2.2005 in the office

of the Divisional Rail Manager. In the report dated 11.11.2005 of DRM’s office, Kota it has been indicated that the seal

of the office showing receipt of the appeal on 23.2.2005 is not the genuine official seal of the office & sample of true

official seal of the office has been shown affixed on report dated 11.11.2015. The appellate authority Sh. Dheeri Singh,

Divisional Commercial Manager, Kota passed the order of dismissal of appeal & vide letter dated 16.12.2005 decision

of the dismissal of appeal was conveyed to the applicant. After considering the appeal the appellate authority in its

order has pointed out that the appellant has submitted the appeal late by nine months without assigning any reason. The

order of appeal dated 16.12.2005 reads as under :—

It is important to note that in order of appeal dated 16.12.2005 it has been alleged that appeal dated 23.2.2005

has been shown to be presented by the appellant on 23.2.2005 by fraudulent means using forged seal of receipt dated

23.2.2005 whereas the appeal has been presented in the month of November, 2005. Applicant has not alleged anything

specifically in his statement of claim or rejoinder against the observation made by appellate authority regarding

presenting the appeal late employing fraudulent means. It is also important to note that applicant has sent many

reminders addressed to the appellate authority between 23.2.2005 & 23.12.2005 for making disposal of appeal.

43.

Reference has been made by learned representative of the applicant to the provision of Article 311 of the

Indian Constitution which reads as under :-

“ 311. Dismissal, removal or reduction in rank of persons employed in civil capacities under the Union or a

state – (1) No person who is a member of a civil service of the Union or an all India service or a civil service

of a state or holds a civil post under the union or a state shall be dismissed or removed by an authority

subordinate to that by which he was appointed.

(2)

No such person as aforesaid shall be dismissed or removed or reduced in rank except after an enquiry

in which he has been informed of the charges against him and given a reasonable opportunity of being heard

in respect of those charges.

Provided that where it is proposed after such inquiry, to impose upon him any such penalty, such penalty may

be imposed on the basis of the evidence adduced during such inquiry and it shall not be necessary to give such person

any opportunity of making representation on the penalty proposed :-

(a)

Where a person is dismissed or removed or reduced in rank on the ground of conduct which has led to

his conviction on a criminal charge; or

(b)

Where the authority empowered to dismiss or remove a person or to reduce him in rank is satisfied that

for some reason, to be recorded by that authority in writing, it is not reasonably practicable to hold such

inquiry; or

(c)

where the President or the governor, as the case my be, is satisfied that in the interest of the security of

the State it is not expedient to hold such inquiry.”

44.

In 1969 S.L.R. 479, Mysore High Court, A.K. Narain.......Petitioner v/s. the General Manager, Southern

Railway & Others.... Respondent, petitioner was an Assistant Station Master who was removed from his post by an

order dated 24.9.63 as a result of punishment imposed on him in a disciplinary proceeding. The charge levelled against

him was that he received a passenger train on the main line in contravention of Station working instructions. The other

concomitant part of the charge was that there was a failure by him to reckon the distance between the two stopping

trains & that there was thus disobedience of para 4(j) of the Accident Rules. The enquiry commenced on July 19,1963

which was concluded on the next day. The punishment imposed was challenged by the petitioner on many grounds

wherein it was held by the Hon’ble High Court that it was not necessary to discuss all the points of complaint made in

the writ petition & the writ petition is fit to succeed on a much shorter ground. It was held by Hon’ble High Court in

para 2 of the judgement, “…….When the disciplinary enquiry was commenced against the petitioner all that was done

by the concerned authority was to communicate to him a charge which was as brief as it could be. That charge was not

accompanied by a statement of the allegations on which the charge was based, although under rule 1709 of the Railway

Discipline and Appeal Rules regulating the conduct of disciplinary enquiries for railway servants other than those

employed in the railway protection force, made it incumbent upon that authority to make available to the petitioner

along with the charge that statement of allegations.” The other ground on which the Hon’ble High Court was satisfied

to quash the punishment was that on June 27,1963 petitioner had made a request to concerned authority for copies of

proceedings & findings recorded in preliminary enquiry which preceded the disciplinary proceeding & petitioner was

informed on June 29,1963 that those copies could not be supplied. It was held that such refusal vitiated the punishment

imposed on petitioner. Accordingly the order of punishment was quashed by Hon’ble High Court & petitioner was

ordered to be reinstated to his post with all the benefits & advantages flowing from such reinstatement. Thus, it was

violation of rule 1709 of the Railway Discipline & Appeal Rules regulating the conduct of disciplinary enquiries for

railway servants other than those employed in R.P.F. & non-supply of copies of proceedings & findings of preliminary

enquiry proceeding the disciplinary proceeding was the cause of setting aside the order of punishment. In the case of

II

(ii)

3999

Laxminarayan statement of allegations has been supplied along with charge & no document relating to preliminary

enquiry is in demand hence, no benefit can be derived from this ruling in favour of applicant.

45.

In 1967 S.L.R. 759, S.C. Tirlok Nath.... Petitioner v/s. Union of India & others.... Respondent, appellant Sh.

Trilok Nath was Deputy Superintendent of Police in crime branch at the time of occurrence. Certain criminal cases

were investigated by Delhi C.I.D. against a woman Doctor Vimla & papers in connection with investigations used to

pass between investigating officer & Superintendent of Police through the appellant. The allegation against the

appellant was that on March, 4, 1955 appellant went to Dr. Vimla’s office in Chandni Chowk & offered to help her &

on 11 March, 1955 he told her that she should meet him at Delhi Railway Station at 5 p.m. He further asked her to

come alone & she should not come by her car & from Delhi Railway Station he will take her to some place hence, she

should inform at her house that she would not return till 9 p.m. This matter was reported by Dr. Vimla immediately to

District Magistrate that appellant was making overtures to her on the pretext that he will help her in criminal cases

pending against her. Dr. Vimla was asked to telephone the appellant in presence of District Magistrate & S.S.P. She

telephoned the appellant & conversation was tapped & recorded. Pursuant to direction of District Magistrate a trap was

led for apprehending the appellant & Dr. Vimla at the place where the appellant had proposed to take her. Dr. Vimla

went to Railway station according to direction of appellant & was picked up by him in his car. He took her to

Shidipura,Karol Bagh & parked the car on the main road . Along with Dr. Vimla he went through a lane in a house

situated therein. The car of the appellant was followed by two cars, one of them occupied by A.D.M. & the other by

S.P. After reaching at the designated place at 8.15p.m. the door was knocked which was opened by appellant. Appellant

was asked to allow the search of the house but appellant was not willing to allow the search without a search warrant .

A search warrant was prepared & signed by ADM & search was carried out by both the officers. During search

Dr. Vimla was found in the house & they noticed that Dr. Vimla & appellant were having drink. Statement of Dr.

Vimla was recorded by ADM & in the statement she stated that after taking whisky the appellant made indecent

overtures to her and outraged her modesty and because of this she cried out. The appellant was then questioned. He

admitted that the house belonged to a friend of his and was in his temporary possession and said that Dr. Vimla was the

wife of his friend. This fact was denied by Dr. Vimla. The appellant also said that he had no concern with the cases

against Dr. Vimla but that she had been asking him to intercede in her behalf. He also said that one Jaswant Singh,

Deputy Superintendent of Police, Gurgaon, had also recommended Dr. Vimla’s case to him. He further said that Dr.

Vimla had rung him up that day & told him that Jaswant Singh was due to arrive from Gurgaon at 6.30 P.M. and that

he should come to the railway station. It was for this reason that he went to the railway station. Jaswant Singh did not

however, arrive by that train and Dr. Vimla who was there proposed that they should go to another place in Shidipura

where they could meet Jaswant Singh. He, therefore, took her to the house which was close by but did not find Jaswant

Singh there. After this, first information report of Dr. Vimla was recorded & appellant was immediately arrested but

released on bail. On next day he was suspended.

46.

On April 26,1955 a charge of misconduct was formulated against the appellant by Chief Commissioner &

Chief Secretary of the Chief Commissioner was appointed as enquiry officer for holding an enquiry into the charge.

The enquiry was ordered under Rule 55 of the Civil Services ( Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules, 1930. A copy

of the order which contained the charge was served on the appellant and he was asked to submit his explanation to the

enquiry officer within one month from the date of service. He was also asked to inform the enquiry officer whether he

wanted to be heard in person & also whether he would like to produce any witnesses. The ground on which the charge

of misconduct was based were also supplied to the appellant. The appellant however, did not file a written statement in

answer to the charge & to the allegations contained in the grounds furnished to him. Appellant wanted that unless

criminal charge against him is cancelled or withdrawn or proceeded first and afterward departmental enquiry might be

held but this demand was turned down by Chief Commissioner & appellant was advised to file his explanation to

enquiry officer within prescribed period. Thereafter, appellant by letter dated 23.7.55 complained that he had not been

furnished with all relevant material which was required for preparation of written statement. He further raised objection

that procedure laid down in public servants (Enquiries) Act, 1850 should be followed. He further added that the

criminal charge & departmental proceeding were outcome of a deep rooted conspiracy in which high officials of the

Delhi Government were involved & suggested that a Judge from outside Delhi should be appointed to make the

enquiry. The enquiry officer informed the appellant that objections raised by him were unwarranted. He further

informed him that enquiry was under the Civil Services Classification ( Control and Appeal ) Rules and the provisions

of the public servants (enquiries) Act, 1850 could not be followed. The enquiry officer further informed the appellant

that it was open to him to ask for any documents which he wanted to see. The enquiry officer asked the appellant to

submit his statement but appellant said that he had no intention of submitting the written statement. The enquiry officer

then proceeded ex-parte against the appellant & came to the conclusion that appellant was guilty of charge of

misconduct & recommended his removal from his service. The appellant was supplied with copies of enquiry report

dated 30.9.55. A notice was sent to appellant by Chief Commissioner stating that he has accepted the finding of the

enquiry officer & in consultation with the Union Public Service Commission he has proposed to remove the appellant

from police service & asked him to show cause against the action. The appellant submitted his explanation & after

considering the explanation of the appellant the Chief Commissioner removed the appellant from the service from

17.12.55.

Aggrieved by the decision of Chief Commissioner appellant moved Hon’ble High Court of Punjab under

Article 226 of the Constitution for quashing the order of removal of appellant from service which was dismissed in

limini. Against the order of Hon’ble High Court an appeal by special leave was filed by appellant before the Hon’ble

Supreme Court in which numbers of grounds were raised in support that removal of the appellant was illegal. It was

held by Hon’ble Supreme Court that all the grounds are not necessary to be referred except one which is sufficient to

quash the order of Chief Commissioner removing the appellant from service & the ground is the violation of principle

of natural justice by enquiry officer with the result that appellant was deprived of reasonable opportunity of showing

cause against the action proposed to be taken against him which violated rule 55 of the Civil Services ( Classification,

Control and Appeal) Rules. Rule 55 required that public servant concerned must be afforded adequate opportunity to

defend himself. It has been held by Hon’ble Supreme Court in para 9 as under :-

“………..Therefore, in our view the failure of the Inquiry Officer to furnish the appellant with copies of the

documents such as the first information report and the statements recorded at the Shidipura house and during

the investigation must be held to have caused prejudice to the appellant in making his defence at the Inquiry.

The inquiry held must, in these circumstances, be regarded as one in violation not only of r. 55 but also of Art.

311(2). Accordingly, we quash the order of removal of the appellant from service passed by the Chief

Commissioner of Delhi .”

48.

Looking into fact & circumstances of the case of Laxminarayan it is clear that no help can be derived from the

case of Trilok Nath in favour of applicant because in case of Tirlok Nath there was violation of Rule 55 of the Civil

Services (Classification, Control and Appeal) Rules wherein it was obligatory upon the enquiry officer to furnish the

public servant concerned with copy of charges levelled against him the ground of which these charges were based &

the circumstances on which it was proposed to take action against him & further as per the requirement of the public

servant he was to be furnished with copy of all relevant documents required for his defence. The appellant was not

supplied with copy of F.I.R. & statement recorded at Sidhipura House along with other statements recorded during

investigation which prejudiced the appellant whereas in case of Sh. Laxminarayan he was already furnished with all the

documents of the charge sheet & statement of imputations on which charges were based. Beside this he was provided

with document no connected with charge & he was provided with facility to inspect & note the extract where copy was

not provided.

49.

In AIR 1986 S.C. 2118, Kashinath Dikshita .........Appellant V/s. Union of India & others .... Respondent,

appellant was holding the post of Superintendent of Police, Bijnor (U.P.) at the time of occurrence. He was dismissed

on 11.6.69 on the basis of departmental enquiry. The writ petition by appellant against the order of dismissal was

dismissed by Hon’ble Allahabad High Court. Appellant preferred appeal before Hon’ble Supreme Court against order

of dismissal of writ by Hon’ble Allahabad High Court which was allowed & decision of the Hon’ble Allahabad High

Court was reversed by Hon’ble Supreme Court.

50.

During enquiry appellant had requested for supply of copies of all the statements made by the witnesses

during preliminary enquiry & copies of the documents on which reliance was placed in support of the charges levelled

against the appellant which was turned down by the disciplinary authority. The disciplinary authority granted

permission to the appellant to inspect the copies of the statements & the documents in question if he so desired. The

request of the appellant to be accompanied with stenographer for inspection was also turned down by the disciplinary

authority & appellant was told that he himself could make such notes as he desired on the basis of inspection made by

him. Copies of the statements of witnesses & copies of the documents were not supplied to the appellant till the

conclusion of departmental proceeding. It was held by Hon’ble Supreme Court that where the government refused to its

employee who was dismissed, the copies of the statements of witnesses examined at the stage of preliminary inquiry

preceding the commencement of the inquiry and copies of the documents said to have been relied upon by the

disciplinary authority in order to establish the charges against the employee and even in this connection the reasonable

request of the employee to have the relevant portions of the documents extracted with the help of his stenographer was

refused and he was told to himself make such notes as he could, and the Govt. failed to show that no prejudice was

occasioned to the employee on account of non-supply of copies of documents, the order of dismissal rendered by the

disciplinary authority against the employee was violative of Ar. 311(2) in as much as the employee has been denied

reasonable opportunity of defending himself. It is pertinent to mention that documents not given to appellant in

Kashinath Dixita case are the documents which are the basis of charge whereas in the present case relating to

Laxminarayan all the documents relating to charge have been given to the applicant in certified form & copies of the

certain documents not related to charge have also been given to the applicant & documents whose copies have not been

given have been made available to the applicant for inspection. Thus, the case of Sh. Kashinath Dixita is

distinguishable on the above points.

51.

It is important to note that from the day to day proceeding of the enquiry against the applicant as mentioned

above it is clearly evident that the applicant has alleged more than once that he is a class IV employee & unable to

understand the English language hence, it was most necessary that he must have first nominated his defence

representative for which he was requested on many occasion by various officers of the department including enquiry

officer but he never acted on the advice of any officer & was deliberately reluctant to nominate anyone. All the

documents connected with charge have been supplied to him & receipt relating to them is available on record. Against

II

(ii)

4001

the demand of documents not connected with charge certain documents have already been supplied to him & remaining

have been made available for inspection & noting of extracts as desired. No where it has been mentioned by applicant

that what is the relevancy of document demanded by him not connected with charge sheet & how the documents are

going to form the defence & it’s refusal to give is likely to cause prejudice to the applicant although there has been no

denial of any document to the applicant & he has been only asked to approach the enquiry officer for documents which

are not the part of charge. From the proceeding of 28.2.2002 it is evident that function of demand & supply of the

documents was over & next proceeding of regular hearing was to take place on 5.4.2002 which was date fixed on desire

of the applicant.

52.

In 1997 II LLJ Page 388 (Supreme Court), Secretary to Govt. & others V/s. A.C.J. Britto, during enquiry the

respondent had asked for copy of certain documents & had also requested the enquiry officer to peruse the file in

C No.A1/861/1981 of D.I.G.. Respondent was denied the documents demanded by him. The tribunal held as a result of

refusal the respondent was deprived of reasonable opportunity for defending himself. It was held by the Hon’ble

Supreme Court that the tribunal without considering how those documents were relevant upheld the contention of

respondent that by not supplying copies of those documents he was denied reasonable opportunity to defend himself. It

has been further held that mere non furnishing of copies of documents would not vitiate departmental action &

administrative tribunal has to find out how documents are relevant & how respondent was prejudiced in defending

himself as a result of failure to supply copies of documents.

53.

From the above fact & circumstances I am of the view that there is no failure on the part of opposite party in

providing copy of the documents required by applicant to defend himself in enquiry. It is important to note that the

documents relating to examination & incorporation of name of Girishchand in the panel of successful candidates were

irrelevant for the purpose of forming defence in favour of applicant because they were well scrutinised by Hon’ble

CAT & there was nothing in those documents to support the case of the applicant for purpose of his selection to the

post of T.C. From the perusal of entire enquiry proceeding & sequence of events relating to providing of copy of

documents to the applicant relating to charge sheet or other additional documents I am of the view that there is no

failure of natural justice because it cannot be said that applicant had not been able to defend himself for want of any

document & any prejudice has occasioned to the applicant.

54.

Further it has been argued by learned representative of the applicant that appointment of the applicant was

made by Senior Divisional Engineer & Senior Divisional Electrical Engineer, Kota vide letter No. E/E/891/2/3 dated

24.2.82 ( Annex-2) hence, Assistant Commercial Manager (ACM) is not the competent authority to issue the charge

sheet because if ACM would have been competent to appoint the applicant then Senior Divisional Engineer/ Senior

Divisional Electrical Engineer would not have been nominated to appoint the applicant hence, ACM is not competent

authority to pass the order of punishment against the applicant. It has been further argued that opposite party has not

filed any such document to show that ACM is competent to pass the order of punishment. Reliance has been placed on

the case reported in AIR 1972 S.C. 2452, The Management of D.T.U. .......Petitioner v/s. Sh. B.B.L. Hajelay and

another .... Respondent, AIR 1979 S.C. 1912, Krishna Kumar...... Appellant v/s. the Divisional Assistant Electrical

Engineer and others .... Respondent & AIR 1977 SC 747 Mysoor State Transport Corporation v/s. Mirja Kasim Ali.

Countering the above argument it has been argued by learned representative of the opposite party that ACM is

competent authority to issue the charge sheet & order of compulsory retirement of the applicant has been passed by

Additional Divisional Commercial Manager (ADCM ) who is competent authority to pass the order of punishment

hence, no legal wrong has been committed in issuing of charge sheet & passing the order of punishment. It has been

further argued that Annex-2 is not the appointment letter of the applicant which is alleged to be appointment letter by

him. It has been further alleged about Annex-2 that it is the list of successful selected candidates for posting as class IV

employee. It is pertinent to mention here that both the side have failed to file on record the schedule of power wherein

it can be seen that who are the authorities competent to pass the order of dismissal, compulsory retirement or reduction

in rank. The parties have also failed to file the list of hierarchy of commercial department & Electrical Engineering

Department & information relating to equivalent ranks of both the departments. Any of the above mentioned three

punishment may be awarded only by appointing authority or authority equivalent to appointing authority or authority

above the rank of appointing authority. Appointing authority means not only the authority who is having power to

appoint but it includes that authority also which really makes the appointment. If an authority making the appointment

is superior in rank to the authority competent to make appointment then such superior authority will be the appointing

authority for an employee & this difference in rank will be relevant for the purpose of awarding punishment i.e. such

superior authority only will be the disciplinary authority for the purpose of passing the order of punishment as a

appointing authority. It has been held in AIR 1977, Supreme Court 747, Mysor State Transport Corporation V/s. Mirza

Kasim Ali, that departure from above rule in passing the order of punishment will render the punishment illegal which

cannot be cured by an order in appeal or revision.

55.

In AIR 1972 S.C. 2452, The Management of D.T.U. .......Petitioner v/s. Sh. B.B.L. Hajelay and another ....

Respondent, it has been held by Hon’ble Supreme Court in para 13 of the judgement as under :-

“………….We are not concerned here with the law of agency. It is implicit in the statutory prohibition

debarring removal by a lesser authority, that the appointing authority has to personally apply its mind to the

4002

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

question of removal and cannot delegate such a function. Since the authority which can remove an employee

is the appointing authority or its superior in office, the protection thus provided cannot be destroyed by

importing concepts of agency.”

56.

In AIR 1979 S.C. 1912, Krishna Kumar...... Appellant v/s. the Divisional Assistant Electrical Engineer and

others .... Respondent, the appellant was appointed as Train Lighting Inspector under an order issued by the Chief

Electrical Engineer & was removed from service under an order passed by the Divisional Assistant Engineer, Central

Railway, Nagpur. It was held by Hon’ble Supreme Court that since the appellant had been removed from service by an

order passed by the authority who, at any rate, was subordinate in rank to the Chief Electrical Enginer on the date of

appellant’s appointment the order of removal was in patent violation of the provisions of Art. 311(1) of the

Constitution. Whether or not an authority is subordinate in rank to another has to be determined with reference to the

state of affairs existing on the date of appointment. It is at that point of time that the constitutional guarantee under Ar.

311(1) becomes available. The subsequent authorization made in favour of the authority passing the order of

removal in regard to making appointments to the post held by the appellant cannot confer upon him the power to

remove him. Besides, delegation of the power to make a particular appointment does not enhance or improve the

hierarchical status of the delegate. An officer subordinate to another will not become his equal in rank by reason of his

coming to possess some of the powers of that another. The Divisional Engineer did not cease to be subordinate in rank

to the Chief Electrical Engineer merely because the latter’s power to make appointments to certain posts had been

delegated to him.”

57.

From the citations mentioned above it is clear that a person cannot be dismissed , discharged or removed by an

authority subordinate to the appointing authority on the date of appointment. Now, It is important to settle the issue

whether Annex-2 is an appointment letter. From perusal of Annex-2 it appears that the document is a notification of

result of selection held on 30.12.81 under crash programme to wipe out the deficiency of ST candidates & the list has

been prepared in order of seniority. It has been notified on 6.7.81 & says that successful candidates will be appointed

against vacancies after verification of their character & antecedents & after passing the requisite medical examination.

The authority who has made the selection is Sr. DEE/ SR. DEN (E), Kota. Same authority has issued the letters to the

candidates calling them for interview. This clearly indicates that candidates shown in the selected list are to be issued

with appointment letters only after clearance of medical examination & verification of their character & antecedents.

Rank & placed of posting has not been mentioned as to for which post they have been selected for recruitment. This

fact of non mentioning of rank & place of posting further goes to show that they were to be issued with an appointment

letter with designated rank & place of posting after medical examination & verification. An appointment letter always

contains name, rank, pay scale, place of posting & date of joining beside other conditions of appointment which are

absent in Annex-2. Thus, I am of the view that Annex-2 is not a document fit & reliable to make assessment of the rank

of appointing authority & treat it as appointment letter. Annex-2 is selection list prepared by examining/interviewing

body. From perusal of enquiry record also it appears that the issue of appointing authority of Sh. Laxminarayan Meena

for the purpose of this enquiry has been taken up & discussed & it has been reported on on 1.12.04 that he is a group D

employee whose appointing authority is Assistant Commercial Manager (ACM). From above fact & circumstances, I

am of the view that ACM is the appointing authority for the applicant & order of punishment passed by disciplinary

authority is not illegal & accordingly charge sheet issued by ACM is also issued by authority competent to issue the

charge sheet. Here, it is pertinent to mention that nothing has been pointed out by applicant side that what prejudice the

applicant has suffered by charge sheet issued by ACM-1. In the above fact & circumstances & on the basis of

discussions made above I am of the view that applicant has failed to make out a case that disciplinary authority is not

competent to award the punishment of compulsory retirement or the authority issuing the charge sheet is not competent

in law to issue it.

58.

Further it has been argued by learned representative of he applicant that an application dated 3.4.02 ( Annex-

26) was moved by applicant for change of enquiry officer Sh. S.P. Dixit to the effect that applicant does not expect

justice from him because he has not given desired document demanded by applicant & behaviour of the enquiry officer

was discriminatory on caste basis & he did not behave with applicant properly but enquiry officer was not changed

hence, enquiry report is not fair & punishment awarded on the basis of such enquiry report is liable to be quashed.

Countering the above argument, it has been argued by the learned representative of the opposite party that matter of

change of enquiry officer was considered & management did not find it proper to change the enquiry officer. It has also

been argued that by asking the replacement of Sh. S.P.Dixit applicant had intended only to linger the proceeding &

replacement of Sh. S.P.Dixit would have made no difference except an opportunity further to make a third application

for change of enquiry officer to linger the enquiry. From perusal of enquiry record it appears that an application dated

3.4.2002 has been addressed to Review Officer/Senior Divisional Commercial Manager (SDCM) with allegation of

bias against the enquiry officer that enquiry officer is troubling him by not supplying the documents alleging the

documents to be secret. It has also been alleged that Sh. S.P. Dixit is a retired officer who bypasses the directions of

Railway Board, hence, enquiry officer be removed by appointing an impartial enquiry officer. From enquiry record it

appears that prior to Sh. S.P. Dixit, Sh. K. Gopinathan was the enquiry officer appointed vide order No. E/161/3/5450

dated 12.3.2001 & intimation of appointment was given to applicant vide letter dated 14.3.2001. Applicant vide his

letter dated 26.6.2001 addressed to Review Officer/Senior Divisional Commercial Manager (SDCM) demanded the

change of enquiry officer, Sh. K. Gopinathan with allegation that enquiry officer is not providing desired documents

II

(ii)

4003

by applicant. He further alleged that enquiry be conducted by an Hindi knowing enquiry officer & not an English

knowing enquiry officer because the applicant is group ‘D’ employee. Copy of the letter was also sent to enquiry

officer Sh. K. Gopinathan by the applicant. The enquiry officer Sh. K. Gopinathan wrote to Disciplinary authority/

Assistant Commercial Manager-1,Kota vide letter No. EO (HQ)/10/2001 dated 3.7.2001 that Sh. L. N. Meena, the

applicant has desired that enquiry need not be conducted through him & he has cited certain reasons. Sh. K.Gopinathan

was replaced by Sh. S.P. Dixit in view of above application of the applicant. When representation/complaint of the

applicant was considered for change of Sh. S.P. Dixit it was held that earlier the enquiry officer has been changed once,

hence, there is no need to change the enquiry officer at the stage to which the enquiry has already reached because that

will cause further delay in conduct of enquiry. The application of the applicant was rejected on 3.5.2002. While making

decision on the applicant’s application it has been observed by the management on 23.4.2002 that applicant is trying to

linger the enquiry proceeding by none cooperation. Here it is pertinent to note that applicant in his representation dated

6.5.04 addressed to disciplinary authority has stated in para 6 that enquiry report be quashed & enquiry be conducted

through an officer of integrity belonging to Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribe. The main grievance alleged by the

applicant against Sh. S. P. Dixit is that he belongs to general category, hence, he has not been impartial & his actions

has been prejudicial to the interest of the applicant. It shall appear from the entire enquiry proceeding that

Sh. S. P. Dixit has worked in presence of the applicant only on 4.2.2002, 28.2.2002 & 5.4.2002 wherein on 4.2.2002

applicant has only submitted list of documents desired by him to enquiry officer & on 28.2.2002 applicant has

discussed about the documents and there possible availability. On 5.4.02 regular hearing was to take place but on

5.4.02 also matter relating to copy of the documents has been dealt. Thus, applicant has worked effectively only on two

days with enquiry officer on 28.2.2002 & 5.4.2002. Applicant has not mentioned any dissatisfaction against the

conduct of enquiry officer during proceeding or immediately thereafter except the fact that he can’t read the documents

which are in English language. If there was anything wrong with conduct of Sh. S.P. Dixit then applicant must have

made application on 28.2.02 or 5.4.02 itself but instead of doing that he himself got the next date fixed on 5.4.02 & just

two days prior to hearing on 5.4.02 he moved application on 3.4.02 for change of enquiry officer. This application

appears to be an outcome of afterthought & step further towards delaying the enquiry proceeding. In fact &

circumstances as stated above I am of the view that management by not changing the enquiry officer has committed no

wrong which is prejudicial to the interest of applicant. Accordingly, I am of the view that demand of change of enquiry

officer by the applicant was not proper & department has committed no wrong in not changing the enquiry officer.

59.

Further, it has been argued by learned representative of the applicant that recording of statement of witnesses

in absence of charged employee is against the principle of natural justice. Reliance has been placed on the cases

reported in AIR 1957 S.C. 882 Union of India .........Appellant V/s. T.R. Verma .... Respondent, AIR 1954 ALL 438,

Laltr Prasad.........Appellant V/s. Inspector general of Police and others .... Respondent, AIR 1958 S.C. 300,

Khemchand.........Appellant V/s. Union of India & others .... Respondents & AIR 1961 S.C. 1623 state of Madhya

Pradesh .........Appellant V/s. Chairman Sadashiva Waishampayan .... Respondents. Against above argument it has been

argued by learned representative of the opposite party that cases cited by applicant are not applicable in the case of

applicant because due to deliberate absence & non-cooperative attitude of the applicant case has proceeded ex-parte

against him & only in case of participation by the applicant in enquiry it is possible to record the evidence of a witness

in the presence of charged employee.

60.

In AIR 1957 S.C. 882 Union of India .........Appellant V/s. T.R. Verma .... Respondent, the respondent had

participated in the enquiry proceeding & witnesses were examined on 20.4.53 & on the following days & enquiry was

concluded on 27.4.53 & on 28.7.53 enquiry report was submitted holding the charges against the respondent found

established. On proposed punishment of dismissal respondent alleged that he was not permitted to cross examine the

witnesses. It was held by Hon’ble High Court that respondent was denied the opportunity of cross examination & he

was not allowed to make his own statement. Respondent was also not allowed to have the examination in chief of his

defence witnesses recorded. It was held that these defects amounted to denial of reasonable opportunity to the

respondent to show cause against his dismissal.

61.

In AIR 1954 ALL 438, Lalta Prasad.........Appellant V/s. Inspector general of Police and others ....

Respondent, the appellant had participated in the enquiry in which he was not allowed to cross examine the witness on

the pretext of asking leading question. In this case also in spite of presence of appellant he was not permitted to cross

examine all the witnesses. When enquiry started against the appellant he was taken by surprise because he was unaware

about enquiry going to commence against him. He was summoned by Superintendent of police & immediately Enquiry

commenced against him without sufficient warning. The enquiry was held under section 35 Police Act against a police

officer which was enquired by Superintendent of police himself who was not empowered with magisterial power & an

enquiry under Police Act could be conducted only by an officer having magisterial power. The preliminary & final both

the enquiry were conducted by the Superintendent of police himself. It was held by Hon’ble High Court that appellant

had no adequate warning of enquiry which was about to be held against him & he was required to cross examine the

witnesses on the basis of summary of their deposition & he was also not allowed to put leading questions. Thus, he was

placed in difficult position. Accordingly, it was held by Hon’ble High Court that appellant had no opportunity of a fair

hearing & enquiry might have proceeded on assumption that petitioner was guilty. Accordingly writ petition was

allowed & order of dismissal from service was quashed. In AIR 1957 S.C. 882 Union of India .........Appellant V/s.

T.R. Verma .... Respondent & In AIR 1954 ALL 438, Lalta Prasad.........Appellant V/s. Inspector general of Police and

4004

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

others .... Respondent, the charged employees, have participated in the entire enquiry & in spite of their effective

participation they have not been provided adequate opportunity to cross examine the witnesses & examine their own

witness in defence whereas the case of Laxaminarayan proceeding has taken place ex-parte due to neglect & non-

participation by applicant hence, no benefit can be derived in favour of applicant from this citations.

62.

AIR 1961 S.C. 1623 state of Madhya Pradesh .........Appellant V/s. Chairman Sadashiva Waishampayan ....

Respondents, respondent was working on the post of sub-inspector & was posted in the State of Madhya Pradesh &

had come from Hyderabad on deputation in Sep, 1948. He was suspended under order dated 3.5.51 of Deputy

Inspector General police. The cause of suspension was receipt of complaints against him & enquiry was proposed

aginast the complaints. He was served with charge sheet on 13.5.51 wherein 8 charges were levelled against him.

During enquiry six witnesses were examined before the enquiry officer/ Sub-Divisional Officer ( Police). Subsequently,

under order of Inspector General of Police enquiry was taken over by Superintendent of police himself who framed

only five charges against the respondent treating previous charge as unclear. Later charge 4 & 5 were also removed &

only three charges were considered against the respondent. During enquiry witnesses were examined & cross

examined. During enquiry on 9.11.51 respondent presented application demanding certain documents to be utilised by

him in his defence which was allowed in respect of some documents & refused for others. At the end of evidence

during enquiry respondent was asked to produce defence evidence on 13.11.51 with warning that enquiry will be closed

if defence evidence was not produced by him on 13.11.51. On 13.11.51 respondent again wrote to D.I.G. through

Superintendent of police demanding documents not given to him vide his request dated 9.11.51. Respondent wanted to

produce these documents in defence before his self examination hence, he wanted to inspect those documents. His

application was rejected on 11.11.51 & on 28.11.51 all the three charges were found established by enquiry officer /

Superintendent of police. Respondent preferred writ petition under Article 226 before the Hon’ble High Court against

the order of dismissal which was allowed. An appeal was preferred by the appellant against the order of Hon’ble High

Court which was dismissed by Hon’ble Supreme Court. It was held by Hon’ble High Court that denial of documents

demanded by respondent vide his applications dated 9.11.51 & 11.11.51 amounting to violation of principle of natural

justice. This view of Hon’ble High Court was confirmed by Hon’ble Supreme Court dismissing the appeal of the

appellant. The appellant in this case was denied the documents which were required to be filed in defence before the

self examination of the appellant. The matter of supply of document to the applicant Laxminarayan has already been

dealt where in it has been held that applicant was not been deprived of any document which resulted into failure of

natural justice. From the cited case no help can be taken in favour of applicant in the circumstances of his case.

63.

According to Article 311(2), a civil servant cannot be dismissed or reduced in rank until he has been given

reasonable opportunity of showing cause against the action proposed to be taken in regard to him. In AIR 1958 S.C.

300, Khemchand.........Appellant V/s. Union of India & others .... Respondents, the appellant who was in Government

service was served with a charge-sheet and an enquiry was held and on the basis of the report of the enquiry officer he

was served with an order of dismissal the next day. The appellant challenged the validity of the order of dismissal on

the ground that he had not been supplied with a copy of the Enquiry Officer’s Report and no opportunity was given to

him against the action proposed to be taken in regard to him as required by Article 311. The Court held that even

though an enquiry was held on the basis of which the enquiry officer had reported that the charges were proved and

recommended the punishment of dismissal the authority competent to pass an order of punishment was bound to give a

further opportunity to the Government servant to show cause why the particular punishment of dismissal should not be

inflicted on him. It was at this stage where the punishment authority had accepted the report of the enquiry officer and

proposed to inflict a particular punishment that the further opportunity became due. Since no further opportunity had

been given to the appellant it was held that the order of dismissal was unconstitutional being in violation of Article 311

(2), the Supreme Court held that the ‘reasonable opportunity’ envisaged by Art. 311 includes :—

(1)

an opportunity to deny his guilt and establish his innocence which can be only done if he is told what the

charges against him are and the allegation on which such charges are based;

(2) an opportunity to defend himself by cross-examining the witnesses produced against him and by

examining himself or any other witnesses in support of his defence and also

(3)

an opportunity to make his representation as to why the proposed punishment should not be inflicted on

him, which he can only do so if the competent authority, after the enquiry is over and after applying his

mind to the gravity of the charges, tentatively proposes, to inflict one of the three major punishments

and communicates the same to the Government servant.

This provision was brought in the Constitution by 15th Amendment in 1964 consequent to the Supreme Court

judgment in Khem Chand v. Union of India.

64.

In Khemchand’s case copy of enquiry report was not given to the appellant whereas in the present case copy

of the enquiry report has been given to applicant Sh. Laxminarayan & he has made representation against the enquiry

report which has been disposed by disciplinary authority before passing the order of punishment. Further, it is to be

noted that amendment incorporated in the Constitution consequent to judgement in Khemchand’s case has been deleted

by Constitution’s 42 Amendment Act 1976 hence, second hearing is not required before passing the final order of

punishment & owing to 42nd Amendment it is not necessary to give opportunity of hearing at the 2nd stage of the action

proposed to be taken. In above fact & circumstance, no benefit can be derived by the applicant by the Khemchand’s

case.

65.

As far as proving of charge against the Laxminarayan is concerned the charge against the applicant is as

mentioned below :-

Annexure-I

Charge sheet for major penalty against Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena, Marker – Parcel Office Kota.

ARTICLE OF CHARGES

Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena, marker- Parcel Office Kota while working as such during the year 199-2000

committed gross misconduct in as much as that.

Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena with a view to get undue benefit and malicious motive lodged a false complaint

dated 15.9.99 in Vigilance Office.

Thus, Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena, Marker working parcel Office, Kota by his above act, exhibited lack of

absolute integrity to his duty and acted in a manner unbecoming of a Railway Servant, thereby violated Rule 3.1 (1)

and (iii) of Railway services Conduct Rules, 1966.

................

Annexure-II

Statement of imputation support of Article of Charges against Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena, Marker – Kota.

Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena – Marker – Parcel Office, Kota while working as such during the year

1999-2000 committed gross misconduct in as much as that –

Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena, submitted a complaint dated 15.9.99 against the irregularity committed in the

selection of T.C. He also confirmed the said complaint vide his statement dated 22.12.99.

In his complaint, Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena, alleged that he was declared passed in the written test

conducted in the year 1990 for the post of T.C. However, at the later stage, he was wrongly declared unsuccessful after

viva-voce vide memorandum dated 22.2.90.

He alleged that another employees namely Shri Girish Chand was also declared unsuccessful in the viva-voce

but later he was unduly favoured by giving promotion as T.C. after a long period of 4 years vide order dated 21.1.1994

with retrospective affect.

He also alleged that he approached to CAT-JP and the Hon’ble CAT-JP vide O.A. No.1099/92 dated

22.8.1994 ordered Railway Administration to give same benefit as given to Shri Girish Chand but the administration i s

not responding to the CAT’s order.

However, during the vigilance investigation none of his allegations found substantiated.

The allegation is that Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena was declared passed in the written test conducted in the

year 1990 for the post of TC but however, at the later stage, he was wrongly declared unsuccessful after viva-voce vide

memorandum dated 22.2.90. The investigation revealed that Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena had secured less than the

minimum passing marks as on average of written test and viva-voce, hence, the allegation that he was wrongly declared

unsuccessful is found totally baseless.

The allegation that Shri Girish Chand was also declared unsuccessful in the viva-voce, but later, he was undue

favoured by giving promotion as TC after a long period of 4 years vide order dated 21.1.94 with retrospective effect.

The investigation revealed that Shri Girish Chand was empanelled as per order of Railway Board in a CBI case of

wrong selection of ST candidate. This Interpol action was done with the approval of competent Authority. Hence the

allegation of favouritism to Shri Girish Chand by Administration is also found untrue.

The allegation that the Hon’ble CAT-JP vide O.A. No.1099/92 dated 22.8.1994 ordered Railway

Administration to give same benefit as given to Shri Girish Chand but the administration is not responding to the

CAT’s order. The investigation revealed that the matter is still pending in the CAT-JP for final judgment. Hence, the

allegation that Administration is not responding to the CAT’s order is found baseless and superfluous.

Shri Meena has distorted the facts in his complaint with a view to malign the officer and achieve his motive.

This shows his lack of integrity.

This act of making a false allegation is unbecoming of a Railway Servant.

Thus, Shri Laxmin Narayan Meena, Marker working in Parcel Office, Kota by his above act, exhibited lack of

absolute integrity to his duty and acted in a manner unbecoming of a Railway Servant, thereby violated rule no. Rule

3.1(1) and (iii) of Railway Services Conduct Rules, 1966.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

66.

Remaining portion of contains list of document & witnesses in support of charge.

67.

Sh. S. N. Salim, Chief Vigilance Inspector in statement before the enquiry officer has admitted that statement

of Sh. Laxminarayan was recorded on 22.12.99 before him during investigation of the complaint dated 15.9.99. He has

also admitted that complaint dated 15.9.99 was sent by Sh. Laxminarayan Meena & investigation relating to this

complaint was assigned to the witness. The witness has testified the content of the complaint & has alleged that

complaint was found to be based on untruth & applicant utilised the vigilance department to secure unauthorised gain.

He has further deposed that during vigilance enquiry it was found that Sh. Laxminarayan Meena had secured only 45%

mark which was less than minimum prescribed mark for passing hence, he was declared unsuccessful. He has further

deposed that in the matter of Sh. Girishchand also C.B.I. enquiry was conducted & he was promoted after four year on

the basis of order of Railway Board & he was considered for promotion because he was a ST candidate. He has further

deposed that Sh. Girishchand was declared successful after four year because during C.B.I. enquiry it was found that

Sh. Girishchand was declared unsuccessful on wrong basis & after its correction his name was included on the panel of

successful candidates. From the above evidence it is clear that complaint dated 15.9.99 was made by applicant Sh.

Laxminarayan which was based on wrong facts. It is also pertinent to mention that during contempt proceeding entire

record of examination was scrutinized by Hon’ble CAT & no wrong was discovered in process of including the name

of Sh. Girishchand in the panel of successful candidates & no basis was discovered to declare the applicant successful.

Accordingly, contempt proceeding was dropped. Thus, the only defence of the applicant relating to case of Sh.

Girishchand did not make a case in favour of applicant. From above discussion, it is evident that charge against the

applicant was rightly proved.

68.

On the basis of entire discussion as made above I am of the view that applicant had no proper reason for non-

participation in enquiry proceeding & has not been deprived on account of non-supply of any document which was

reasonably required for preparing the defence. Applicant has raised points in written argument that through his

supervisor he should have been given information about date & time of appearance in enquiry, in this context it is

worth mentioning that entire information of enquiry proceedings have been routed through Station Manager, Kota &

they have been received & acknowledged by the applicant through Station Manager, Kota. On some occasions

applicant has been found absent from duty from long time when information has returned back with intimation that

applicant had been absenting without information since dates mentioned therein. In that event record of enquiry

proceedings & information about next date of conduct of enquiry have been routed to the applicant through registered

post & through the Station Manager, Kota also. Applicant has taken plea of his sickness & sudden death of his brother

in accident, in this connection it is important to mention that enquiry has never proceeded in rapid & neglecting

manner. Whenever applicant was sick or there was difficulty in appearance it was always open to him to write to

enquiry officer / his Head of the Department or disciplinary authority with medical certificate that the applicant is sick

& shall resume duty after fitness. No such information has ever been communicated during enquiry & instead on

number of occasions Station Manager has returned the process to be delivered to applicant with noting that applicant is

absenting without information since date mentioned in the communication. Hence, I am of the view that matter of

absence during enquiry proceeding on valid absence must have been raised at appropriate stage of proceeding before

the enquiry officer/disciplinary authority.

69.

In Written argument it has been alleged in para 3 that charge memo is fit to be rejected because it did not carry

the stamp & name of the rank of disciplinary authority, it is important to mention that this technical ground is not

sustainable in view of the fact that purpose of charge memo is only to communicate to the applicant in brief the

allegation against him & the basis on which the charge will be proved. It is also important to note that no prejudice has

been shown by applicant on account of charge memo not having seal of the name of the rank of disciplinary authority.

In para 7 of written argument it has been mentioned that opposite party has not filed the record along with index hence,

punishment awarded is liable to be quashed. In this context, it is necessary to mention that at the time of receiving copy

of enquiry record it was imperative on the part of applicant to receive the enquiry record according to index which has

not been done & applicant cannot derive benefit from his own wrong.

70.

As far as provision of Rule 191 of Railway Act, 1989 is concerned this relates to proof of entries in records &

documents of railway departments which reads as under :-

“ Entries made in the records or other documents of a railway administration shall be admitted in evidence in

all proceedings by or against the railway administration, and all such entries may be proved either by the

production of the records or other documents of the railway administration containing such entries or by the

production of a copy of the entries certified by the officer having custody of the records or other documents

under his signature and stating that it is a true copy of the original entries are contained in the records or other

documents of the railway administration in his possession.” According to above provision certified copies of

the entries of railway records kept during course of business are admissible in evidence in proceedings by or

against the railway. The original records may be summoned wherever necessary.

II

(ii)

4007

71.

In order dated 21.1.2016 on fairness of enquiry certain observations have been made by tribunal regarding

interpolation of documents. In written argument attempts have been made to explain the observations but I do not find

it legal, proper & desirable to make any comment on such explanation because the cases of interpolation of documents

on record of the file are more than the number of documents on which observation has been made in order dated

21.1.2016 & any further comment appears to be unwarranted.

72.

It has been argued by the learned representative of the applicant that punishment awarded to the applicant is

disproportionate to the gravity of guilt. Against this, it has been argued by learned representative of the opposite party

that quantum of punishment is proportionate & most appropriate to the gravity of the charge & needs no interference. It

has been further argued that the Hon’ble Tribunal has very limited scope to interfere in the punishment awarded by the

management. The charge against the applicant is that he committed gross misconduct by lodging a false complaint with

malicious motive against officers of the department to get undue benefit & thereby he exhibited lack of absolute

integrity to his duty & acted in a manner unbecoming of a railway servant. The charge against the applicant has been

proved. In 2004 (1) LLN 391, High Court, Patna, D.S.Prasad v/s Union of India & others, petitioner, a head Constable

in Central Industrial Secuirty Force was retired compulsorily from the service for assaulting another Constable. It has

been held by Hon’ble High Court that when a member of the force assaults another member of the force, punishment of

compulsory retirement, which does not deprive from the pensionary benefit is not shocking to the conscience of the

court & as such no such interference is required.

73.

In 2003 II LLJ page 181, Chairman & Managing Director, United Commercial Bank, ............Appellant v/s.

P.C.Kakkar ......respondent, it has been held in para 11 as under:-

“11. To put differently (sic) unless the punishment imposed by the Disciplinary Authority or the Appellate

Authority shocks the conscience of the Court/Tribunal, there is no scope for interference. Further to certain

litigations it may, in exceptional and rare cases impose, appropriate punishment by recording cogent reasons

in support thereof. In normal course if the punishment imposed is shockingly, disproportionate it would be

appropriate to direct the Disciplinary Authority or the Appellate Authority to reconsider the penalty imposed.”

74.

In the fact & circumstances of the present case & on the basis of above discussion I am of the view that

punishment awarded by disciplinary authority needs no interference which appears to be proper & proportionate to the

nature of guilt.

75.

For the foregoing reasons, the action of the management of Central Railway, Kota through DRM, Kota in

awarding punishment of compulsory retirement to Sh. Laxminarayan Meena, Marker vide their order dated 9.2.2005 is

legal & justified & resultantly, the workman is not entitled to any relief. The reference under adjudication is answered

accordingly.

76.

Award as above.

AWARD

(Delivered on 20th June 2016)

This is a reference made by the Desk Officer, Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi vide its

Order No. L-12012/51/2009-IR(B-I) dt.7/12/2009 in exercise of powers conferred by clause (d) of Sub-section (1) and

Sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and the Central Government referred the said

dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal in respect of the matters specified in the Schedule to the reference order.

SCHEDULE

Whether the action of the management of Ratnakar Bank Limited in imposing the penalty of termination from

services w.e.f.27/07/2006 on Shri Ravindra Shripati Shinde is justified ? If not, what relief he is entitled to and

and from which date ?

2.

According to second party workman, he has challenged his termination and also challenged fairness of enquiry

and findings of enquiry officer. After conclusion of enquiry the second party workman received the findings of enquiry

officer. He is dismissed by first party vide dismissal order dt.27/07/2006 and second party approached the learned

Labour Court vide Comp.(ULP) No.150/2006. For want of jurisdiction the complaint is dismissed on 24/04/2008.

Thereafter the second party raised dispute and finally the dispute referred by Central Government for adjudication to

this Tribunal. The second party workman was working with first party since 1981 as 'peon' in Hupari branch with

unblemished service record. He worked sincerely and honestly. No single memo was issued to him but he was issued

charge sheet alleging and putting charges that deliberately causing damage to the property of the bank as well as

consumers of bank and doing any act prejudicial to the interest of the bank. He was issued charge sheet on 17/12/2005.

Prior to that he is suspended pending enquiry on 10/12/2005. It is alleged that 24 cheques of Rs.2,99,500/- were

deposited by daily newspaper 'Pudhari' in the United Western Bank, Shivaji Chowk branch which sent by courier to

Hupari branch for clearance from current A/c No.312 with more cheque.

3.

The said amount was in the name of 'M/s. Rajendra News Paper Agency'. Inadvertently those cheques are put

in bank drawer for the period of 5 months. The said customer had sufficient bank balance in its account. The second

party did not put these cheques intentionally and deliberately to commit any kind of fraud or to prejudice the interest of

first party. The second party put these 25 cheques from 15/5/2005 to 31/10/2005 inadvertently and when on 9/12/2005

the first party employer asked about the cheques immediately he came to know that some cheques have not deposited

by him for clearance. He searched same and handed over these cheques immediately to first party on the same day and

submitted written apology. No loss or damage caused to the property of first party and to the customers. Only

inconvenience is caused.

4.

The enquiry conducted against him after violation of principles of natural justice and with undue haste, he was

not given proper opportunity to defend himself. The entire enquiry was conducted within a span of 5½ hours on

19/01/2006. The second party did not accept the charges before enquiry officer. No alleged charges proved against him.

The enquiry officer acted as management representative other than independent enquiry officer. The bank submitted

written argument on 31/1/2006 to the enquiry officer and second party submitted his written argument on 6/2/2006 and

again apologized in writing. The first party did not consider his clean service record. Enquiry report was submitted on

II

(ii)

4009

6/3/2006. The findings are based on such enquiry which is conducted in utter violation of principles of natural justice

and with undue haste. The report and findings are not based on evidence and findings are not proper. The enquiry report

is perverse and bad in law.

5.

On 16/03/2006 he submitted written say to the enquiry officer's report which was not considered and final

show cause notice issued to second party on 22/3/2006. It was replied on 29/03/2006 and again second party tendered

apology in writing but his prayer was not considered before issuing dismissal order which is shockingly

disproportionate punishment. Thus this act is not in good faith but in colourable exercise of employer's rights. Without

proving charges this punishment is imposed for patently false reasons and the dismissal is malafide. The second party

workman is unemployed and was not gainfully employed anywhere. Therefore, second party has prayed that action of

first party to dismissal of second party workman from service w.e.f. 27/07/2006 be declared illegal, improper and bad

in law and first party be directed to reinstate him with continuity of service and full back wages with consequential

benefits.

6.

Vide written statement Ex. C-5 first party bank denied all the allegations levelled against it. It is contended

that the 'appropriate government' for first party bank is 'Central Government' and not the 'State Government'. Hence this

reference is not maintainable. This Tribunal has no jurisdiction to try and entertain the present reference. Hence

preliminary issue be framed pertaining to maintainability of present reference. It is contended that the second party did

not approach this Tribunal with clean hands. It is contended that Rajendra Shinde bearing Current A/c No.312 at Hupari

branch gave 24 cheques worth Rs.2,99,500/- bearing different dates from 15/05/2005 to 31/10/2005 to 'Daily Pudhari'.

The cheques were deposited in United Western Bank and same forwarded for clearance to Hupari branch, in fact there

was no balance in the said account.

7.

It is contended that in order to protect the interest of brother of second party workman he used to collect

courier mail from various couriers and retained in his possession 24 cheques with one more cheque of Rs.6000/-

unauthorisedly. He retained all these cheques and not debited in the account of his brother and did not send for

clearance and on enquiry it was revealed that second party workman handed over 25 cheques to branch manager and

tendered apology which shows that second party workman committed grave misconduct. Therefore he was suspended

and enquiry was initiated by following due process of law.

8.

In the enquiry all material documents were produced and three witnesses were examined. The second party

admitted the misconduct and tendered apology. Even then enquiry officer recorded evidence and asked the second party

to conduct cross-examination of these witnesses but he declined and enquiry officer submitted his finding on 6/03/2006

which has been served on second party on 13/03/2006, final show cause notice issued to him on 22/03/2006. The

second party was terminated vide order dt.27/07/2006. Thus the termination is proper and legal. Ultimately, it is

contended that if this Tribunal comes to the conclusion that termination is illegal and unjustified then the first party

bank may kindly be granted opportunity to adduce evidence.

9.

After complying all the requirements of law and natural justice the services of second party have been

terminated. The termination is legal and proper. The misconduct committed by second party is serious. There is no

unfair labour practice on the part of first party. The findings are legal and proper. Complete opportunity was given to

second party to defend himself in the enquiry. The findings are based on documents and evidence on record. The

second party admitted the charges and allegations levelled against him voluntarily and without any pressure. Taking

into consideration the length of his service, his past service record and gravity of misconduct the first party found that

termination is the only appropriate and proper punishment and terminated his services. This action is in good faith and

is not in the colourable exercise of employer's rights or with undue haste. There is no victimisation. Lastly, it is

contended that statement of claim be dismissed with costs.

10.

In view of the pleadings putforth by parties issues framed by my learned predecessor Mr.K.R. Pethkar vide Ex.

O-6 on 12/6/2012 and vide Part-I Award on 20/10/2015 I have decided issue Nos.1 to 3 and it is held that this court has

jurisdiction to try and entertain the reference. The enquiry conducted by first party is as per principles of natural justice

and findings of enquiry officer are just and proper. Now remaining issue Nos.4 & 5 are being decided and I have noted

my findings thereon as under-

As per order below

REASONS

11. Issue Nos.4 & 5 : To substantiate the claim the second party workman examined himself at Ex. U-9 and closed

his evidence vide pursis at Ex.U-10. The first party employer examined its employee Amar Sharad Patil at Ex.C-20 and

closed its evidence vide pursis at Ex.C-21.

4010

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

12.

The second party workman deposed on oath and averred all the facts mentioned in the statement of claim.

According to him, he is working with first party since 1981 as 'peon' and almost completed 25 years service as peon

and during the entire tenure he has not caused any loss to the bank by committing any misconduct. He has unblemished

record. He was never issued any memo or notice earlier and it is an admitted fact. He has been terminated

w.e.f.27/07/2006 and since that date he is unemployed. The first party has caused his financial death. He is not

gainfully employed and has very poor economic condition. The punishment inflicted is disproportionate considering the

misconduct. Hence minimum punishment be awarded considering his unblemished service record.

13.

The witness for first party deposed that first party has 194 branches in 14 States and one Union Territory.

Service conditions of the employees are governed by the agreements executed between management and unions. He

has reiterated facts mentioned in the written statement. After conducting enquiry against the second party in view of the

charge sheet the first party received enquiry report on 13/03/2006 by the then enquiry officer Rajan M. Patil. It was

served on second party vide letter dt.13/03/2006 and his explanation was called. The second party workman has

submitted his explanation vide letter dt.16/03/2006. Then final show cause notice was prepared and explanation of the

second party was called as to why he should not be dismissed from the services. This letter was issued on 22/3/2006.

The second party replied on 29/03/2006. Again admitted the guilt and tendered apology.

14.

According to him first party bank is accountable for the actions taken against the employees under various

RBI regulations. Due to illegal act of second party workman daily 'Pudhari' had stopped giving the cheques to first

party bank and caused financial loss to the bank. Further this incident was also discussed in the clearing house and it

affected goodwill and business of the bank and bank is at the verge of loosing an important customer daily 'Pudhari'.

Considering the past record, length of service, seriousness of misconduct and its ill effect on the general discipline the

first party bank has lost its faith and confidence in the second party workman therefore it came to the conclusion that

dismissal is the only just and appropriate punishment which could be awarded and resultantly the second party

workman is dismissed w.e.f. 27/7/2006 vide order. According to him, after dismissal the second party is working in the

private firm and is earning good salary which is considerably higher than what he was getting from first party.

15.

In cross-examination the second party workman admitted that he has no rivalry with the management.

Admittedly he was suspended before issuing charge sheet. He has no proof to show that his past service record is clean

and unblemished. He admitted that he has not made any efforts to get employment after dismissal. He admitted that

after suspension he never turned up to first party to resume his work. He admitted that after dismissal he has not seen

Balance Sheet of the first party. He is unaware how much image of first party is affected and maligned due to the

incident. He does not know how much loss incurred by the first party as cheques in question were not encashed.

16.

The witness for first party in cross-examination stated that he is deposing on the basis of office record.

Bipartite agreement is not on record. He admitted that there is no proof to show that how much loss incurred by first

party due to misconduct of second party. He is unaware whether account holder of current A/c No.24 made complaint

to first party against the functioning of first party bank. According to him the management of daily Pudhari made a

written complaint against the services provided by first party but documentary evidence is not placed on record. He

does not know whether the work of clearing cheques is handled by clerk only. He does not know whether first party has

admitted that the past service record of second party workman is clean and unblemished. He does not know whether

second party workman is gainfully employed.

17.

The learned advocate Mr.J.B. Deshmukh for second party workman argued that the second party workman

worked with the first party bank since last 25 years in different branches since 1981 and he never committed any

misconduct or mistake which is mentioned in Ex.C-22 and it is proved that his past service record is unblemished.

Therefore inflicting punishment of dismissal is shockingly disproportionate and sort of financial death as a result

second party has suffered irreparable loss. His past service record is not at all considered while inflicting the

punishment. He is not gainfully employed since the date of termination. There is no evidence to show that he is

gainfully employed. He never caused any loss to the property and reputation of first party bank during his entire tenure.

He has not caused any loss to the property of first party. He has not involved in any fiscal scam. He has not committed

any theft. He was not arrogant. He has not caused loss of single pai to the first party. No such evidence is brought in the

enquiry. The bipartite settlement is not placed on record. He has not acted against the interest of first party.

18.

He argued that there is no evidence to show that the management of daily 'Pudhari' expressed any grievance

against the services provided by first party. The allegations are made only due to vindictive attitude of first party

against second party workman. The witness of first party was not present when panchanama was conducted. There is

no proof to show that second party retained the cheques in question in his custody. The charges are not proved in the

enquiry. The second show cause notice was not issued. It was mandatory. The act of dismissal itself is illegal and

against the principles of natural justice. It is argued that if court comes to the conclusion that charges are proved then

lesser punishment be inflicted considering his unblemished record. Lastly he argued that first party be directed to

reinstate the second party with continuity of service and back wages and other legal dues.

19.

According to him, this court has ample power u/s 11(A) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 to reduce the

punishment imposed by the first party. There is no sufficient evidence to prove the charges against him. Moreover he

has tendered apology in writing. There is no evidence to show there is no cause to the first party. More particularly

II

(ii)

there is no pleading and evidence of loss of confidence. The punishment is certainly disproportionate. At the most one

increment can be withheld which will be a proper punishment considering the misconduct of second party workman. In

fact the first party employer could have inflicted lesser punishment considering the nature of his job. There is no

substance in the allegation of loss of confidence. Lastly, he argued that the second party has led sufficient evidence to

prove his claim. Hence reference be allowed. He is placing reliance on,

(i)

State Bank of Patiala v/s Presiding Officer, Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court-1,

Chandigarh and Anr. (2012 III CLR 979-Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana H.C.)

Ratio : With the insertion of Sec.11-A in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the prerogative of the employer to inflict

the punishment of the delinquent workman for misconduct, has been restricted as the industrial adjudication is vested

with the power, to substitute lesser punishment in place of dismissal or discharge, on coming to the conclusion that the

punishment awarded, is shockingly disproportionate or is not commensurate with the act of misconduct committed by

the workman.

(ii)

Employer in relation to the Management of Bank of India, Jamshedpur v/s. Their Workman namely

Inderawati Devi (2014 I CLR 258-Hon'ble Jharkhand H.C.)

Ratio : As per the law settled by the Supreme Court, on finding delinquent employee guilty of serious type of

misconduct in a disciplinary enquiry, before issuing major penalty of dismissal or discharge from service, issue of 2nd

show cause notice to delinquent employee, is absolutely necessary.

(iii) Suresh Narbharam Kachalia v/s Shakti Insulated Wires Ltd. (2005 II CLR 972-Hon'ble Bombay H.C.)

Ratio : What must be pleaded and proved to invoke the aforesaid principle is that (i) the workman is holding a

position of trust and confidence, (ii) by abusing such position, he commits acts which results in forfeiting the same, and

(iii) to continue him in service would be embarrassing and inconvenient to the employer or would be detrimental to the

discipline or security of the establishment. All these three aspects must be present to refuse reinstatement on the ground

of loss of confidence. Loss of confidence cannot be subjective based upon the mind of the management. Objective facts

which would read to a definite inference of apprehension in the mind of the management regarding trustworthiness or

reliability of the employee must be alleged and proved. Else, the right of reinstatement ordinarily available to the

employee will be lost.

(iv) Roop Singh Negi v/s. Punjab National Bank and Ors. (2009 I CLR 160-Hon'ble Supreme Court)

Ratio : Purported confession of appellant not proved in the enquiry. No direct or indirect evidence against appellant in

support of charges made against him. Report of Disciplinary Authority and Order of Appellate Authority not supported

by any reasons. Provisions of Evidence Act, not applicable, but principles of natural justice are applicable to such

enquiries. Inferences of enquiry officer are not supported by any evidence. Suspicion against delinquent cannot be a

substitute for legal proof. Judgment of High Court set aside.

20.

On the contrary, learned advocate Mr. D.D. Dhanawade for first party bank argued that there are no detail

particulars of allegations against first party and are not elaborated in the statement of claim. Similarly no such evidence

is brought on record. There is no evidence that punishment inflicted is shockingly disproportionate. There is no attempt

for getting any other employment on the part of second party. The management after considering the gravity of

misconduct imposed the punishment of dismissal for loss of confidence. It is necessary to maintain office discipline.

The first party has taken right decision of dismissal of second party workman. Lastly he argued that interference in the

administrative order is not warranted by this court. Hence complaint be dismissed.

21.

He further argued that the bank witness in Ex.C-20 reiterated all the facts mentioned in the written statement.

The witness proved all the documents which are referred in the charge sheet at Ex.C-29 and in dismissal order it is

specifically mentioned that bank has lost confidence in the second party workman and he has been dismissed and the

dismissal is just, proper and legal. Misconduct brought to the notice of the bank by daily 'Pudhari' on 9/12/2005. The

second party admitted the misconduct and tendered apology on 9/12/2005. Panchanama of cheques done on 9/12/2005.

He was suspended on 10/12/2005. Charge sheet issued on 17/12/2005. He replied on 25/12/2005. Enquiry initiated on

19/01/2006. Delinquent admitted misconduct vide apology on 19/01/2006. Report of enquiry officer received on

6/03/2006. First show cause notice with enquiry officer report issued on 13/03/2006. First show cause notice received

on 16/03/2006. The second show cause notice sent on 22/03/2006. In the explanation given to the second show cause

notice the second party admitted misconduct and tendered apology on 29/03/2006 and dismissal order issued with the

observation and for loss of confidence on 27/07/2006.

22.

The learned advocate further argued that though it is objected that being peon the post has no any

confidentiality in fact it is not proved that his past service record is clean. It is settled law that in case of proved

misappropriation there is no question of considering the past record and it is a discretion of the employer to consider

the same and it is not open for the court to substitute the penalty imposed by the employer because public bodies must

be held to strict norms of integrity and behaviour and conduct which is calculated to prejudicially affect the interest of

public body.

4012

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JULY 8, 2017/ASADHA 17, 1939

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

23.

He argued that considering the gravity of the misconduct there is no question of inflicting lesser punishment

though his past service record is free from taint. According to him, bipartite settlement is available all over India and

even then first party is ready to produce the same. Lastly he argued that since second party has conducted serious

misconduct which is duly proved in the enquiry and the bank has lost confidence in him therefore just and proper action

is taken. This court has limited jurisdiction to entertain in the quantum of punishment and this case does not deserve

any intervention of the court. He is placing reliance on

(i)

Hombe Gowda Education Trust and Anr. V/s. State of Karnataka and Ors.

(2006 I CLR 280-Hon'ble Supreme Court)

Ratio : Held that assault on superior at work place was an act of gross indiscipline. Punishment of dismissal, cannot

be termed as disproportionate so as to shock one's conscience.

(ii)

P.G. Mahajan v/s. The Director, International Airport Authority of India & Anr. (2011 III CLR

325-Hon'ble Bombay H.C.)

Ratio : Petitioner is dismissed from service for misconduct-Submission is that disciplinary authority failed to consider

past record of the petitioner and as such the order is vitiated. Submission is rejected in view of serious charge in this

case and after relying on the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Janata Bazar 2000 III CLR 568 wherein the

Court was of the view that in a case of proved misappropriation, there is no question of considering past record.

(iii) MD, North East Karnataka Road Transport Corporation v/s. K. Murti [2007(2) SCC (L & S)

358-Hon'ble Supreme Court]

Ratio : A person guilty of breach of trust should be imposed punishment of removal from service. On facts, held the

respondent's conduct, while conducting the bus, in not collecting the requisite fare at the designated place from persons

who had travelled were in violation of various regulations. Hence order of removal from service was proper.

(iv) Pradip Phukan, s/o Lt. Kiran Phukan, Assam v/s. United India Assurance Co. Ltd.

(2016 I CLR 579-Hon'ble Gauhati H.C.)

Ratio : Delinquent is found to be a habitual absentee for unauthorised absence of 227 days. The loss of confidence of

the employer is natural and impugned decision to remove him from service, cannot be said to be unreasonable or harsh

decision. The petition is devoid of merit.

(v)

V. Ramana v/s. A.P.S.R.T.C. & Ors.

(2005 LLR 1089-Hon'ble Supreme Court)

Ratio : The court should not interfere with the administrative decision of the employer unless it was illogical or

suffered from procedural impropriety or was shocking to the conscience of the court, in the sense that it was in defiance

of logic or moral standards.

(vi) Sagar Sadashiv Kasture, Pune v/s. Central Bank of India, Bombay and Ors.

(2011 LLR 17-Hon'ble Bombay H.C.)

Ratio : Removal of a bank employee, not performing his duties with honesty and integrity i.e. when his misconduct

falls within the 'residuary class of an unbecoming act on the part of a bank employee' will not be interfered by the High

Court.

24.

In view of the rival submissions, I subtly perused the entire evidence, documents and material placed on

record. The charge of retaining 25 cheques unauthorisedly and not sending the same for clearance therefore causing

financial loss and damage to the reputation of first party bank is the charge levelled and proved against the second party

workman i.e. peon. The first party has strongly come with the defence that due to the same misconduct the bank has

suffered financial loss and harm to its goodwill and reputation and therefore it has inflicted proper punishment of

dismissal.

25.

No doubt the second party workman has admitted his guilt and tendered apology unconditionally. Interestingly

in this matter the first party has raised the defence that due to proved misconduct of second party its image lowered

down in the society and amongst in customers and caused financial loss and its prime client daily 'Pudhari' also did not

show any confidence in the style of service provided and showed reluctance about it but in this respect no convincing

evidence placed on record. The witness of the first party did not utter any single word. No specific instances of loosing

confidence are given in the evidence and pleading. There is no whisper in the written statement that bank has lost

confidence in second party workman due to his misconduct. Certainly this plea of loosing confidence and thereby

inflicting disproportionate punishment is an afterthought attempt to justify the action on the part of first party which is

not acceptable. Neither details of financial loss and damage to the reputation quoted in the pleading nor brought in the

evidence by the first party. Virtually there is no evidence led by first party. There are no reasonable grounds for loosing

confidence in second party workman.

26.

It is pertinent to note that second party workman is not facing charge of misappropriation. After receiving

charge sheet the second party workman has tendered apology for the misconduct. Again vide letter dt. 6/02/2006 he

tendered apology. The enquiry officer did not observe that due to misconduct it is a case of loss of confidence against

II

(ii)

4013

the second party workman. Again on 16/03/2006 vide letter he tendered apology. Even final show cause notice

dt.22/03/2006 does not disclose that in the past second party workman committed similar misconducts or any

misconduct. Even the dismissal order dt. 27/07/2006 does not disclose that he had bad past service record. There are no

details about the loss caused due to misconduct of second party workman. The written complaint made by management

of daily 'Pudhari' against services provided by first party is not on record. In short, due to misconduct of complainant an

amount of Rs. 3,05,500/- was not cleared and utilised for particular period. This is the grievance of first party against

the second party. The second party workman was working as peon at the time of incident.

27.

Moreover as per standing orders applicable an order in writing putting on record the facts indicating the

circumstances under which the employer had lost confidence in the employee was required to be brought on record by

first party. Therefore, the ingenuous case of bonafide loss of confidence cannot be accepted for want of sufficient

evidence and pleading. Here the past service record of the second party workman is not at all considered while taking

this harsh action. No doubt the right of employer to inflict punishment of dismissal is not unfettered provided the

punishment must be commensurate with the gravity of the act of misconduct proved against the delinquent.

28.

As per settled law punishment is imposed for an alleged misconduct of employee not in order to seek

retribution or to give vent to feelings of wrath. In industrial jurisprudence the requirement of acting bonafide permeates

the entire process of proceedings hence the action of management must be bonafide and fair. In this matter considering

the proved misconduct the punishment is not justified because the misconduct alleged and proved is such as does not

warrant the punishment of dismissal.

29.

As per settled law after the insertion of Sec.11(A) an industrial adjudicator has not only the jurisdiction to set

aside the order of discharge or dismissal of a workman and direct his reinstatement but it has also the discretion to mold

the relief including the award of lesser punishment in lieu of discharge or dismissal as may be warranted by the

circumstances of the case. Here though the first party employer took plea that it has lost confidence in the second party

workman it cannot ordinarily be exaggerated. As per settled law loss of confidence cannot merely be subjective based

upon the statement of the management. Objective facts which would induce a reasonable apprehension in the mind of

management regarding the trustworthiness of the employee must be alleged and proved and therefore, it is necessary to

carefully examine all the circumstances of the case before coming to the conclusion that the apprehensions of the

employer are genuine and he truly feels that it would be hazardous or prejudicial to the intention of industry to retain

the workman. Loss of confidence in the integrity of an employee should be substantiated by cogent evidence. If the

Tribunal comes to the conclusion that punishment is disproportionate or excessive to the act of misconduct committed

by second party, it has power to vary the punishment and imposed lesser punishment which it may deem just and fair in

the circumstances of the case. So considering the facts, propositions, circumstances and evidence on record, it is clear

that though the misconduct is proved against the second party workman in the enquiry but the gravity of the said

misconduct was not so serious that the management is compelled to loose confidence in him and thereby terminated

him from the employment. Therefore considering the misconduct the punishment imposed certainly shocks the

conscious of the court.

30.

It is settled law even if victimisation or unfair labour practice is proved it is open to Tribunal to award lesser

punishment in lieu of dismissal if it is satisfied that the dismissal is not justified. Here considering the facts on record I

think that a lesser penalty than dismissal would be necessary and just. Certainly the punishment of dismissal inflicted

on the second party is grossly disproportionate and shocks the conscious of the court and needs to be interfered and

reduced.

31.

Considering the nature of duties of the second party workman and duties assigned to him here first party

misread the material evidence which does not disclose that it is a case of loss of confidence in view of the misconduct

committed by the second party workman. The plea of loss of confidence must have some rational relation to the fact

that the employee had misused his position of trust and rendered it undesirable to retain him in service. Loss of

confidence in the integrity of an employee should be substantiated by cogent evidence. While taking plea of loss of

confidence the first party employer has not considered his clean past service record. He served the first party employer

for years together. Therefore, such clean record for a long duration will alone indicate attitude and conduct of second

party workman.

32.

Therefore, in view of the above said facts and circumstances on record, the order of dismissal needs to be

interfered and set aside as it is unwarranted. Here the second party workman has not made any embezzlement,

misappropriation of any amount or tampered with the record of bank. It is not proved that due to said misconduct first

party employer sustained financial loss or its image maligned in the society. At the most it can be said that this

misconduct amounts to negligence in discharging the duties and therefore the punishment imposed is certainly

shockingly disproportionate. Considering the misconduct committed by the second party workman it will be suffice to

reduce the punishment of dismissal with stoppage of two annual increments with cumulative effect and reinstating him

with continuity of service with back wages. Hence I answer issue No.4 in the negative and issue No.5 in the partly

entitled and proceed to pass the following award.
