MINISTRY OF SHIPPING

New Delhi, the 22nd June, 2018

Subject: Relaxation under Section 406 of Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 for coastal Movement of Fertilizers

S.O. 993.—

1.

Whereas doubling farmers’ income is a core fulcrum of the stated policy of the Government of India and whereas

to enhance farmers’ income, there is the related need to improve access to farm inputs such as good quality fertilizers and

seeds. The desired improvement in access to inputs can be achieved by enabling transportation and logistics to be flexible

and reliable for transporting goods within various parts of the country.

2.

Whereas the Report of the Committee on Doubling Farmers’ Income, Department of Agriculture, Cooperation

and Farmers’ Welfare, Ministry of Agriculture & Farmers’ Welfare calls for a strategy towards enabling farmers to

compete at a global scale.The aforementioned report also highlights application of a balanced dose of fertilizers on the

basis of soil health as a requirement for reducing the cost of production, and that unavailability of fertilizers in the

desired quantity, type and cost is a disadvantage for farmers.

3.

Whereas there have been reports of delay in availability of fertilizer in some parts of the country due to transport

bottlenecks of various kinds and thus the transport connectivity and logistics infrastructure needs to enable storage and

transportation of fertilizers and other inputs to the farmers,in a timely manner,to ensure sustainable and cost efficient

production.

4.

Whereas water borne transportation has the potential of simultaneously reducing the per tonne-km cost of

transporting goods to one-sixth as well as reducing the greenhouse gas emission per tonne-km of transporting the goods

over long distances by one-third, compared to rail and road based transportation.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

5.

Whereas water borne transportation modes, including coastal shipping, being comparatively cheaper modes of

transport would enable cost efficient transportation of fertilizers and, thus, enable overall cost reduction in production.

6.

Whereas movement of subsidized fertilizers by coastal route also qualifies for reimbursement of freight subsidy

which will encourage the coastal movement of fertilizer, under the Nutrient Based Subsidy (NBS) policy.

7.

Whereas the National Perspective Plan of the Sagarmala Programme estimates a potential of 6-7 Million Tonnes

Per Annum for coastal movement of fertilizers.

8.

Whereas as per Section 406 of Merchant Shipping Act, 1958, no Indian ship and no other ship chartered by a

citizen of India or a company incorporated in India or a cooperative society registered in India, which satisfies the

requirements specified in clause (b) of section 21 of the above state Act shall be taken to sea from a port or place within

or outside India except under a license granted by the Director General, Shipping under this section.

9.

Whereas Indian ships by virtue of the registration of ships at designated ports of registry are deemed approved for

license under Section 406, and have allowance for coasting trade.

10.

Whereas other ships which may be chartered by citizens of India or a company incorporated in India or a

corporate society registered in India still require to be granted license under Section 406 to be taken to sea from a port or

place within or outside India and therefore have allowance for coasting trade.

11.

Whereas promotion of trade and ease of doing business in India is one of the major thrust areas of the

Government of India, and there is a need to simplify processes for shipping of cargo and operation of vessels.

12.

Now, therefore, in exercise of the powers conferred upon it under proviso of section 406 of the Merchant

Shipping Act, 1958, the Central Government being of the opinion that it is necessary and expedient in the public interest,

hereby directs that:

12.1

The provisions of sub-section (1) of section 406 shall not apply to ships chartered by citizen of India or a

AWARD

1.

This is reference made by the Central Government in exercise of powers under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and

sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 vide Government of India, Ministry of Labour &

Employment, New Delhi vide its order No. L-11012/55/2009 – IR (CM-I) dated 02.02.2010. The terms of reference

given in the schedule are as follows :

“Whether the action of the management of The Hotel Corporation of India Limited (HCL) in terminating

Shri R.B. Ghewade, Steward, from services by w.e.f. 29.05.2008 is justified and legal ? To what relief is the

workman concerned entitled ?“

2.

After the receipt of the reference, both the parties were served with the notices. They appeared through their

respective representatives.

3.

The second party workman has filed statement of claim Ex.7. According to the second party workman, he was

employed as a Handyman in the year 1976 firstly as a casual worker on daily wages @ Rs.4/- per day. Thereafter he was

given his appointment as a staff of the first party company as Handyman on probation on 6 months by their letter dt.

17.12.76 and he was advised to report on duty from 1.1.77 as per terms set out in the appointment letter dt. 17.12.76.

Until he became Assistant Steward, he worked as Handyman which required him to watch the vests used for cooking and

also assist Stewards and Assistant Stewards, pantry staff and cook etc. in his capacity as Handyman. His basic pay was

then Rs.85/- p.m. and Rs.65/- p.m. as D.A. He has been the member of the United Labour Union, the representative

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4387

union of the staff of DFC/HCIL, the first party company until his services were terminated by the order of Appellate

Authority of the first party company dt.30.12.2008.

4.

It is also the case of the second party workman that in the year 2005, United Labour Union submitted charter of

general demands on behalf of the staff of DFC and in the same demanded that the promotion should be made according

to law. The second party workman’s case for promotion from the grade of Assistant Stewardship was to be made. While

the said demands were pending consideration by the first party company, a letter was received by the second party

workman dt.9.2.05 from the first party company requiring him to produce the caste certificate. By his letter dt. 23.2.05,

the second party workman submitted his affidavit dt. 23.2.05 setting out the facts that caste stated in school leaving

certificate was wrong and that he has already obtained a certificate of his caste on or about 7.11.76 from Tahsildar at

Makahazan in Ratnagiri. However, by letter dt. 23.11.05 / 8.2.06, charge sheet dt. 8.2.06 was given to him holding as

under.

“That the second party workman has committed following misconduct under the Model Standing Orders:

Clause no. 22(d) – Theft, fraud, or dishonesty in connection with the employer’s business property.

Clause no. 22(i) – Commission of any act subversive to discipline or good behavior.”

5.

According to the concerned workman, he was called upon to give explanation to the said charge sheet on 10.2.06.

He sent a reply to the first party company. His explanation was not accepted by the management. Thereafter the enquiry

started on or about 9.5.06. Secretary of the United Labour Union Miss S.V. Navalkar was to represent him in the enquiry

proceedings but his request was turned down by Mr. Kale taking objection to that request. Enquiry Officer refused to

grant permission on the ground that General Secretary was advocate and not a co-worker. Therefore the second party

workman moved to the Industrial Court alleging that the action of the first party company was unfair labour practices as

the E.O. has no right to refuse the General Secretary of the representative union to defend the cause of the staff.

Thereafter the first party company informed the court that it had no objection to allow the General Secretary of the union

Miss S.V. Navalkar to appear for the second party workman in the enquiry against him.

6.

According to the concerned workman, he opposed the appearance of Mr. Kale as management representative.

However, the E.O. rejected his objection and allowed Mr. Kale to proceed with the enquiry. The second witness of the

management Mr S.K. Patil was not available on the dates kept for hearing. He could not be made available for cross

examination due to his retirement. As such the management representative and the E.O. had planned to close the cross

examination of this witness abruptly and discharged the said witness. Even the E.O. and the management representative

were putting and recording questions and answers as they like and on many occasions second party workman’s

representative had objected to this method adopted by the E.O. and the management representative. Even E.O. did not

allow second party workman to examine his witnesses nor the E.O. allowed the second party workman to submit his

written arguments on the evidence recorded. E.O. made wrong note of the answers given by the second party workman

in the enquiry. As such the enquiry was not fair and was not in accordance with the law.

7.

It is also the case of the second party workman that the first party company had not furnished the list of

documents, list of witnesses. The E.O. in his findings had come to the conclusion contrary to the record of the evidence

by the E.O. The enquiry was not fair and just. The charge sheet has been vague. The allegations in the charge sheet

were not explained. The charges are vague and as such the concerned workman is prejudiced by the management by not

clearly explaining the charge sheet, the circumstances which constituted the alleged misconduct under clause 22 (d) of

Model Standing Orders.

8.

It is also the case of the second party workman that Mr. Ashok Tambe who was the complainant at whose

instance the enquiry started was not examined as a witness of the management and therefore the second party workman

has been clearly deprived from bringing on record positive facts.

9.

According to the concerned workman, he was not permitted to examine Mr. Sukhtankar as his witness and the

refusal to examine him has caused prejudice to him. Even the E.O. had not noted the questions put in cross examination

in the manner they were asked to, and recorded the questions & answers in improper style which he adopted to confuse

the second party workman. As such the E.O. made wrong recording. The E.O. also refused to allow Mr. Rao to produce

the service regulations under which the code of discipline for which the charge sheet was given. For the staff of DFC,

the services were governed by the code of conduct for HCIL and not Model Standing Orders as reflected in the order dt.

30.12.08 passed by the Appellate Authority. As such the E.O’s performance was not fair & just and was pre-judicial to

the defence of the second party workman.

10.

It is also the case of the concerned workman that the findings of the E.O. are perverse. The E.O. in his findings

has not recorded that the second party workman had given application stating that he has objection to Mr. Kale

conducting the part of the representative of the management. The findings of the E.O. that the workman has admitted the

document is not correct since the second party workman had admitted certificate particulars given by his father who had

4388

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

given information to the school at the time of getting admitted in the school. Even the original certificate that is school

leaving certificate of the second party workman is not produced during the enquiry but the Xerox copy is produced. As

such the findings of the E.O. based on Xerox copy has no value. The evidence relied upon by the E.O. i.e. the

commentary of swamy, author of book on commentary on the Constitution of India to prove the existence of the proof as

regards the rule of reservation appointment is improper and therefore story put up by the management that the reservation

policy was in existence at the time of recruitment of second party workman in 1976 was not correct. As such the E.O.

failed to consider that he gets the promotion on account of his seniority and not on reserved appointment and as such the

findings of the E.O. that the second party workman did not attend Sane Guruji Vidyalyay is contrary to the case of

witness of the company Mr. Patil who deposed that the second party workman was never the student of Sane

GurujiVidyalyay.

11.

It is then case of the concerned workman that the E.O. was biased and non cooperative. The enquiry was sheer

farce as co-employee Mr. Ashok Tambe, Assistant Manager, Mr. Kale, E.O., Mr. Suvarna and V.P. of HCIL, DFC

Mr. Patil Lakra had complained to remove second party workman on the ground of his caste for benefitting the

co-employee Mr. Ashok Tambe who happened to be SC/ST and also the Secretary of SC/ST Employees’ Association.

12.

According to the second party workman, even the disciplinary authority did not apply his to the facts of the

matter. The Appellate authority though indicated that he would consider if anything can be done to reduce the penalty

and directed the concerned workman to give fresh appeal memo focusing on penalty part only has not considered fresh

appeal memo and confirmed the dismissal penalty of the second party workman. As such both the V.P. & M.D. erred in

holding that the charges set out in the charge sheet can be said to be legally applicable to the case of second party

workman.

13.

It is thus case of the concerned workman that the disciplinary rules which were applicable to the first party

company were prevented from being brought on record in the enquiry proceedings. The charge sheet referred to General

Disciplinary Rules which are known Model Standing Orders which infact were not applicable to first party company in

the absence of specified rules on discipline for the employees of the first party company. As such the main defect in the

charge sheet remained which entitled the second party workman to submit that the charge was illegal, unjust and uncalled

for.

14.

It is then case of the concerned workman that the material before the Appellate authority regarding notification of

the Govt. of Maharashtra prohibiting the dismissal of the employee on the ground of caste consideration and the

involvement latter on by the SC/ST Association to recommend lenient penalty and not dismissal from the service of the

person who served without blemish for nearby 30 years. These points had not been considered by disciplinary authority

and therefore order of Appellate authority also deserved to be quashed. Second party workman is therefore asking to

hold & declare that the enquiry conducted by the first party company against him is not legal & proper and the findings

of the E.O. are perverse. He is therefore asking to direct the company to reinstate him with full back wages, continuity of

service from the date of his dismissal i.e. from 27/29-5-08 and other consequential benefits.

15.

The first party company resisted claim by filing written statement Ex.9 contending therein that the concerned

workman has played a fraud on the first party company by mis-representing himself to be of “Hindu Chambar caste”

which is classified as SC community and obtained an employment as Handyman against reserved post. He had furnished

a forged school leaving certificate to show that he belongs to said SC group and even his promotions to the next higher

posts were on the basis of caste. These facts has been proved in the enquiry and in view of grave and serious nature of

charges the concerned workman was issued the charge sheet under the Model Standing Orders applicable to him in

respect of act of misconduct proved against him. The second party workman fully participated in the enquiry along with

his Defence Representative of his choice. The enquiry conduct was fair & proper and the findings are not perverse. The

first party company conducted domestic enquiry by duly complying with the principles of nature justice.

16.

It is then contention of the first party company that a complaint was issued from the Air Corpn. SC/ST

Employees’ Association [DFC Unit] that the declaration made by the concerned workman at the time of his appointment

was false and he did not belong to reservation category. In view of that the first party company directed the second party

workman to produce valid caste certificate to which the second party workman submitted his reply which was not

satisfactory. Even during the enquiry whatever documents were produced by both the parties and recorded copies of the

same were handed over to both the parties. First party company produced two witnesses in this enquiry. The said

witnesses were made available for cross-examination by the second party workman. The second party workman cross-

examined both the management witnesses at length. Shri S.K. Patil, Principal of Sane Guruji Night High School was

called as management witness No.2 and he led his evidence before the E.O. Second party workman wanted to produce

two witnesses but failed to produce the witnesses and also failed to disclose their names and thereafter the enquiry was

closed on 6.9.07. E.O. submitted his report on 28.11.07 holding the concerned workman guilty of charges leveled

against him. The notice was served to the second party workman to make the final decision in the matter by letter

dt.28.11.07 which was received by the concerned workman on 3.12.07. He submitted his explanation on 7.12.07 which

was not found satisfactory and thereby the first party company issued show cause notice to him dt. 7.3.08. The second

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4389

party workman replied the said letter by letter dt. 2.4.08. Explanation submitted by him was not satisfactory and thereby

his services came to be terminated by letter dt. 29.5.08. The second party workman applied to M.D. vide letter dt. 3.6.08

and it was observed that the submission made by the second party workman in his appeal have already been taken into

account by the V.P. The M.D. therefore agreed the punishment order passed by the disciplinary authority.

17.

It is then case of the first party company that at the time when the second party workman submitted his

application in the prescribed form, he made declaration in application form that he belongs to Chambar Caste which is

notified by the government as S.C. but then school leaving certificate submitted by the second party workman was found

to be fake and false. Even during enquiry the concerned workman was given full opportunity to cross examine the

management witness No.2 Shri S.K. Patil. He was given opportunity to defend himself through his D.R. Miss. Navalkar

who is a practicing advocate. It is thus denied by the first party company that the E.O. closed enquiry even after the D.R.

raised objection that the cross examination of management witness – 2 was not over.

18.

According to the first party company the departmental enquiry can be conducted by an employee of the company

in his capacity as E.O. There is no bar in any way on appointing the company’s officer as E.O. The E.O. has not

abruptly closed the cross examination of witness No.2 Mr. Patil. He was made available for the cross examination to the

second party workman. The second party workman had cross examined him at length and therefore the contention of

concerned workman to the effect that E.O. refused to permit him to bring his witnesses is denied by the first party

company.

19.

It is also contention of the first party company that author Mr. Swamy in his complimentary on the Constitution

of India emphasis the protection of all rights of SC & backward classes and during the enquiry the evidence of Mr. Rao

on behalf of the management has shown that the policy on recruitment is followed by the first party company and no

injustice is done to the second party workman. As such the enquiry held against the concerned workman is fair & proper

and the findings of the E.O. are based on evidence.

20.

It is then case of the first party company that the charge sheet was issued to the second party workman according

to the Model Standing Orders which is applicable to the second party workman. The enquiry was also conducted as per

the Model Standing Orders and therefore the question of producing the service regulation of HCIL did not arise. Even

there is no question of approaching the first party company by the second party workman again for taking lenient view as

he had committed mistake and as such the punishment of dismissal of service awarded to the second party workman is

just & proper.

21.

It is then case of the first party company that the second party workman has got the promotion on the basis of his

declaration as SC and he was considered for the post of Steward in the year 1995. The second party workman never

declared himself as belonging to OBC prior to 28.2.05. Even during enquiry the second party workman confessed that at

the time of appointment the declaration made by him was incorrect and therefore he did not deserve any leniency with

respect to the punishment of dismissal awarded to him for the grave & serious misconduct committed by him. The M.D.

agreed with the punishment order passed by the disciplinary authority since he found that there was no merit in the

appeal and the same deserves to be rejected. As such there is no question of granting lesser punishment. So according to

the first party company there was no lacuna in the decision of Appellate Authority. The first party company has thus

sought rejection of the reference.

22.

The second party workman filed rejoinder Ex.10 and reiterated that recruitment of the Handyman was not on the

basis of reserve post for SC group. It was open category. It is then contended that HCIL disciplinary rules are applicable

to the employees of HCIL-DFC unit. The disciplinary rules are different from the agreement terms of service and hence

merely because of agreement of each of the unit of the HCIL are different that does not mean that the rules of discipline

of HCIL employee for HCIL employees are different for each unit employees of HCIL.

23.

It is reiterated that the plea of the first party company that the workman was taken up in the reserve category is

untenable and unwarranted. What is contended is that the promotions that were granted to the workman prior to 2005

had always been on the seniority grounds and not on the reservation policy.

24.

It is again reiterated that the concerned workman was not allowed to put the questions to the management

witnesses and even cross examination of the witness Shri S.K. Patil was not thoroughly done. The E.O. did not allow the

concerned workman to put the questions to the management witnesses in the enquiry proceedings and as such E.O. was

biased. Even the complainant Shri Ashok Tambe of SC/ST Employees’ Association was not examined to establish the

fact of assignment. Original roster was not produced in the evidence and what has been produced are the Xerox copies

which do not tally with original roster. The Roster-keeper was also not examined and therefore roster has no evidentially

value. Therefore the concerned workman is entitled to be reinstated in service w.e.f. 28.5.08 with continuity in service

and consequential benefits.

As per final order

REASONS

Issue No.1 & 2.

26.

So far this issue is concerned, the concerned workman in his cross examination has admitted that during enquiry

proceedings, copies of all the papers filed in the enquiry proceedings were given to him. He even admits that the copies

of the documents produced by the management were also given to him. Admittedly, he received the enquiry report. As

per his glaring admission, his services came to be dismissed for filing false school certificate. Ms. Sunder Navalkar was

his D.R. during enquiry proceedings as against him. She admits that the concerned workman participated in the enquiry

along with her and she even cross examined the first witness. It appears from the evidence on record and on going

through the enquiry proceedings that the workman participated in the enquiry, he was represented by Ms. Navalkar who

is an advocate and also an active member of the union.

27.

Even then the Learned Counsel for the concerned workman submitted that during enquiry proceedings, certain

documents came to be exhibited without following the procedure but then after taking objection by the D.R.,

the documents were taken on record subject to objection and in that way the documents came to be exhibited as

K, L, M, N, O are not proved documents.

28.

In this respect, it can be said that the documents exhibited as M, N, O were handed over to the second party

workman at the time of enquiry. The documents are referred to in the evidence and therefore they are relevant because

Ex. M is the letter of the concerned workman dt. 20.9.05 addressed to the Head Master of Sane Guruji School whereas

the Ex. N is the school leaving certificate of the concerned workman which was forwarded to the Head Master for

verifying its correctness and in response to the same the Head Master reverted the said school certificate with

endorsement that this school leaving certificate is not issued by the school. Ex. O is the letter of Head Master of Sane

Guruji School addressed to the Manager wherein he had mentioned that G.R. No. 360 issued to one GaikwadRanjana

Robert and GhevadeRamchandraBabu, the concerned workman is not the student of the said school namely Sane Guruji

School. It cannot be said therefore that the E.O. without giving an opportunity to the concerned workman or his D.R. has

taken on record these documents. Neither the first party company nor the second party workman objected to any of the

documents produced in the enquiry. When the proceedings were going on and it clearly appears from the enquiry

proceedings that both the parties were given opportunity by the E.O. to submit their documents. The documents

submitted by the first party company are being taken during the enquiry proceedings by the E.O. since the documents are

relevant.

29.

It is then submission of the Learned Counsel for the concerned workman that question No.28 asked to the witness

namely Rao during the enquiry was recorded by the E.O. in otherwise manner which is not correct. In short the

submission is that the recording of the questions and answers by the E.O. during enquiry proceedings is incorrect. This

submission is also not acceptable since the concerned workman did not take objection to the recording of the questions

and answers by the E.O. during enquiry proceedings and then it appears that opportunity was given to the D.R. to cross

examine Mr. Rao. Mr. Rao was cross examined and then the matter was adjourned to 10.9.96 for bringing another

witness Mr. Patil.

30.

In respect of the evidence of Mr. Patil, it has been pointed out by the Learned Counsel for the concerned

workman that though defence representative for the concerned workman wanted to cross examine Mr. Patil further, it

was not allowed by the Inquiry officer and Inquiry officer made a note that the management representative closes the

cross examination of Mr. Patil. In this view the submission is that there was no fair enquiry by the Inquiry officer.

31.

In this respect, on going through the enquiry proceedings, it can be seen that Mr. Patil, Management witness was

cross examined by the D.R. on 27.7.07. Near about 22 questions were asked to him in his cross examination by the D.R.

and then thereafter the E.O. noted that the cross examination concerning the school leaving certificate submitted by the

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4391

charge sheeted employee Ex.1 is satisfactorily completed and no further cross examination is required. It appears that

thereafter the D.R. objected and the E.O. has overruled the said objection of the D.R. on the ground that the admission

register form 344 to 435 is not relevant to the charge sheet and therefore no further cross examination is required. It is

thereafter the management representative informed to the E.O. that the examination of the witness of management is over

and the management did not want to produce any more witness. It appears therefore that the sufficient opportunity was

given to the D.R. to cross examine Mr. Patil, he was cross examined by the D.R. by putting near about 22 questions and

further objection was overruled on the ground that admission register form 344 to 435 was not relevant to the charge

sheet. That does not mean that the opportunity was not given to the D.R. to cross examine Mr. Patil. Mr. Patil was made

available for cross examination and he was cross examined during the course of enquiry. It is for the E.O. to decide as to

which question was relevant and which was not. If he did not allow the irrelevant questions to be put, that does not mean

that the enquiry was not fair & proper and that the opportunity was not given to cross examine the witness of the

management.

32.

Precisely, it is submission of the Learned Counsel for the management that Shri S.K. Patil, Principal of Sane

Guruji School was produced by the management as witness No.2 and he was made available for the cross examination to

the concerned workman. Mr. Patil has answered all the questions put to him in his cross examination by the second party

workman in the enquiry but on the contrary second party workman failed to produce the witnesses nor disclosed the

names of their witnesses even after sufficient opportunity was given to the second party workman to examine the

witnesses on his behalf. On going through the enquiry proceedings, it certainly appears to me that Mr. Patil was cross

examined during the enquiry proceedings by the D.R.

33.

It is then submission of the Learned Counsel for the concerned workman that during enquiry the E.O. refused

the second party workman to bring his witness Mr. Sukhtankar and also during enquiry the E.O. denied opportunity to

second party workman to defend their case. However, on going through the enquiry proceedings, it appears that E.O.

upheld the objection put by the management in respect of question No. 65 & 67. It cannot be said that the E.O. had not

considered the objections of the second party workman during the course of enquiry but then objections were raised to

question No. 69, 70, 72, 73 and 74 by the management representative on the ground that the questions are irrelevant and

the E.O. had upheld the objections. That does not mean that the enquiry was improper & unfair. What is necessary is

that the opportunity to put up his defence has to be given to the concerned workman and it certainly appears on going

through the enquiry proceedings that the copy of charge sheet was given to the concerned workman, he replied the same

then the management has examined 2 witnesses, they were cross examined by the D.R. who is an advocate and active

member of the union, copies of documents relied upon by the management are given to the D.R. and opportunity was

also given to rebut these documentary evidence to the D.R. Merely saying that some questions are wrongly recorded or

the objection of the D.R. were not considered by the E.O. does not mean that the E.O. was biased or that no fair enquiry

was conducted.

34.

It is the case of second party workman that he was employed as a Handyman in the year 1976 firstly as a casual

worker on daily wages @ of Rs 4/- per day. Thereafter he submitted his application for regular appointment on 19.8.1976

and that time he was called upon to submit prescribed application form for such employment. As the said form was in

English the officer in-charge of said department Mr. Kotian filled the particulars in English on 9.9.1976. after making

enquiry with him and then he signed the said form in the presence of Mr. kotian. In his evidence the second party stated

that he had no reason to believe at the time of submitting application that the school leaving certificate was necessary to

register his caste. He believed that the said certificate was relevant for noting his birth date and in-fact at the time of

appointment for the post of Handyman there was no reservation of service for the employees on the ground of caste and

hence the question of caste at the time of appointment as Handyman did not arise. As such the evidence of the concerned

workman is to the effect that initial appointment as Handyman was not on the basis of caste.

35.

This sort of evidence of the concerned workman is not acceptable. It appears that in 1976 the first party company

invited application for the post of Handyman from eligible candidate as per the guidelines following the reservation

policy of government. On going through the application of the concerned workman vide Exhibit-62. It clearly appears

that the concerned workman submitted application and furnished the information that he was working with Prabhash

Press Girgaum previously as Handyman and in this application he has clearly made the declaration that he belongs to

Hindu Chambhar and as such he belongs to Schedule caste. In support, it appears that he submitted copy of the school

leaving certificate along-with the application. It is thus clear that in his application he had made declaration that he

belongs to Schedule Caste as Hindu Chambhar. That information was not in respect of his birth date but in his

application he was called upon to give information whether he belongs to Schedule Caste and he has made declaration

that he belongs to SC being Hindu Chambhar caste which is notified by the Government as Schedule Caste. In view of

that it appears that he was appointed as Handyman on 17.12.1976 by the first party company.

36.

Not only that, but the further promotion was given to the concerned workman as ‘Steward’ in the grade of pay of

Rs. 1780-20-1920-25-2120-30-2510 by internal promotion. Ex-66 is the Promotion Panel Report for the post of

‘Steward’ in the said pay scale. In this promotional panel report it has been stated that the said panel perused the personal

file of Assistant Steward and as per Promotion Roster Point 1 is reserved for SC and Point 4 is reserved for ST. it is

4392

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

further clear from this report that the concerned workman was recommended for promotion as Steward as per the

provisions contained in the Recruitment and Promotion Policy procedure and also the Government directives regarding

the reservation for SC/ST for the post filled in by promotion. It is clearly mentioned that the name of concerned workman

is recommended for the promotion as Steward being SC candidate.

37.

It appears that on 9.2.2005 letter was issued to the concerned workman mentioning there in that he has not

submitted the caste certificate at the time of his appointment since he has declared in pre-employment application form

that he belongs to SC and availed this reservation in first party corporation. By way of this letter he was advised to

submit his caste Certificate. Thereafter on 23.2.2005 the concerned workman submitted his application mentioning

therein that he belongs to Hindu Kunbi caste and submitted copy of Caste Certificate issued by Executive Magistrate,

Sanghmeshwar to show that he belongs to Kunbi caste. From the document on record it clearly appears that initially at

the time of submitting application for appointment as Handyman the concerned workman has made declaration that he

belongs to S.C. being Hindu Chambhar and also got promotion claiming himself to be S.C. But then he submitted the

Caste Certificate issued by Executive Magistrate to show that he belongs to OBC (Other Backward Classes). It cannot be

accepted that initially his appointment was not on Caste basis and he submitted the School leaving certificate believing

that it was required to be produced by him for noting the birth. It is because the record shows that he got promotion on

the basis of Schedule Caste and on the basis of declaration and School leaving certificate along-with application

submitted by him showing that he is Hindu Chambher by caste.

38.

Realizing this difficulty Ld. Advocate for the concerned workman submitted that at the time when the concerned

workman was admitted in school the information was given by his father and therefore the Xerox copy of school leaving

certificate on which the Enquiry Officer has relied is not the reliable piece of evidence and therefore the base of charge

itself not reliable.

39.

In the context, it is necessary to see that management has examined Mr. S.K. Patil the principal of Sane Guruji

Night High School situated at Andheri (E) as management witness 2. He was also made available at the time of Cross

Examination for second party workman. On the basis of his evidence the E.O. has given the finding that the certificate

submitted by concerned workman at the time of submitting Application is a ‘fake’ school leaving certificate. The Head

master of the Sane Guruji School has endorsed on school leaving certificate that he verified and found that this school

leaving certificate is not issued by the said School and it is a fake School leaving certificate . The said endorsement is at

Ex-N and it appears that the concerned workman has cross examined the MW-2 in detail with respect to Ex-N i.e. School

Leaving Certificate.

40.

It is contention of the concerned workman that he approached to the school through his father to collect School

leaving certificate in the year 1970. However the death certificate issued to the second party workman, on 8.2.2005 by

Group Panchayat, Makhajan, TalukaSangmeshwar, District Ratnagiri shows that his father expired on 8.12.1965.

41.

Even then Ld. Advocate for the concerned workman submitted that workman Mr. Ghewade in his affidavit on

oath has stated that his father was trying to get the birth Certificate while he was serving in Prabhat Press. In this view he

submitted that the concerned workman believed that the certificate was obtained by his father for showing birth

certificate and therefore there was no reason for concerned workman to submit before the authority about the caste

mentioned by him in his application on the basis of his School Leaving Certificate. Submission is to the effect that in

such circumstances even the management did not take action against the concerned workman by filling complaint to the

police on the ground that he has made false affidavit. Submission is also to the effect that the concerned workman was

not given any opportunity to adduce evidence of PrajaSamajwadi Party to prove the recognition of the said School from

the government and therefore findings of the E.O. are perverse.

42.

It is not possible to accept this submission. As seen earlier in his application itself concerned workman has made

declaration about his caste as Schedule Caste and then thereafter got promotion on the basis of reservation. That time he

did not inform to the authorities that the caste mentioned in his application is incorrect. It is only after the letter given to

him by management, he has come out a case that he belongs to OBC caste and submitted the certificate of Collector

showing that he belongs to OBC caste. In his letter to the management he submitted that the certificate issued by the

school was submitted by him to show his birth date as he believed that the certificate was necessary to show the birth

date and not the caste. It shows that concerned workman did not mention about the wrong caste mentioned in School

Leaving Certificate at any time before he was asked to submit the caste certificate.

43.

It is pertinent to note that in his affidavit dated 23.2.2005 the concerned workman has stated “ I say that if there is

any lapse found by the authorities regarding details of my caste shown in School Leaving Certificate which is based on

information supplied by father and not on my information, that lapse be condoned and no action be taken against me.”

This would show that in his affidavit also he has stated that the wrong information was supplied about his caste at

the time of submitting his application for getting appointment mentioning therein that he belongs to S.C. i.e. Hindu

Chambhar.

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

44.

Ld. Advocate for the management refers to Exhibit-X which is General School Admission Register wherein

Sr No. 6 is allocated to student Gaikwad Ranjana Robert and not to the second party workman and two photocopies of

General School Admission Register wherein name of second party workman Ramchandra Babu Ghewade did not appear

anywhere in the General School Admission Register. In view of this it was pointed out that in his Cross-examination

concerned workman admitted that the School Leaving Certificate produced by him at the time of enrollment in the

Corporation is bogus. Considering all these facts, it can be said that the findings of Enquiry Officer are based on

evidence.

45.

Ld. Advocate for the management seeks to rely on the decision in case of R. VishwanathPillai V/s. State of

Kerala and others. Supreme Court (2004)2 SCC 105 to submit that, “if the appointment in the service was obtained

on the basis that the applicant belongs to SC community and when it was found by the Scrutiny committee that he did not

belong to SC Community, then the very basis of his appointment was taken away. His appointment was no appointment

in the eyes of law. He cannot claim a right to the post as he had usurped the post meant for a reserved candidate by

playing a fraud and producing false caste certificate.”

46.

He also seeks to rely on the decision in case of Bansi Ram V/s. Union of India &Ors., Delhi High Court, 2011

to submit that, “Whenever it is found that a government servant who was not qualified or eligible in terms of the

recruitment rules etc. for initial recruitment in service or had furnished false information or produced a false certificate in

order to secure appointment should not be retained in service. After inquiry as provided in Rule 14 of the CCS (CCA)

Rules, 1965 if the charges are proved, the government servant should be removed or dismissed form service and under no

circumstances any other penalty should be imposed.”

47.

Considering all these facts, I find that the inquiry conducted by the management was fair and proper and the

findings of E.O. are not perverse. Issue No. 1 & 2 are therefore answered accordingly as indicated against each of them.

ISSUE NO. 3

48.

So far this issue is concerned it appears from the pleadings of the party that second party workman made an

appeal to the managing director vide his letter dated 3/6/2008. The managing director agreed with the punishment order

passed by the disciplinary Authority and declared it as just proper and appropriate and thus the Appeal came to be

rejected.

49.

Precisely it is submission of the first party management that at the time of employment the second party workman

had furnished false information and school leaving certificate handed over to the first party company at the time of taking

up employment was found to be fake and therefore second party workman did not deserve any leniency with respect to

the punishment of dismissal awarded to him for grave and serious employment misconduct committed by him.

50.

So far the legal position is concerned, the court would not interfere with the administrative decision unless it was

illegal or suffered from procedural impropriety or irrational in the sense it was outrageous, defiance of logic or moral

standards. It is held in the decision in case of DomohPannaSagar Rural Rational Bank & Ors V/s. Munnalal Jain

CA No. 8258 of 2004 [SC] that

“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 shorten litigations it may, in exceptional and

rate cases, impose appropriate punishment by recording cogent reasons in support thereof. In a 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.”

51.

In this respect hand can be laid on the decision in case of LIC of India &Ors. V/s. S. Vasanti, Civil Appeal No.

7717 of 2014 wherein Hon’ble Apex Court with reference to decision in case of Lucknow Kshetriya Gramin Bank

(Now Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh Gramin Bank) & Anr. V/s. Rajendra Singh (2013) 12 SCC 372 has held;

“a)

when charge(s) of misconduct is proved in an enquiry, the quantum of punishment to be imposed in a

particular case is essentially the domain of the departmental authorities.

b)

The courts cannot assume the function of disciplinary / departmental authorities and to decide the

quantum of punishment and nature of penalty to be awarded, as this function is exclusively within the

jurisdiction of the competent authority.

c)

Limited judicial review is available to interfere with the punishment imposed by the disciplinary authority,

only in cases where such penalty is found to be shocking to the conscience of the court.

d)

Even in such a case when the punishment is set aside as shockingly disproportionate to the nature of

charges framed against the delinquent employee, the appropriate course of action is to be remit the matter

back to the disciplinary authority or the appellate authority with direction to pass appropriate order of

penalty. The court by itself cannot mandate as to what should be the penalty in such a case.”

4394

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

52.

In the facts of the present case I find that the punishment imposed by the disciplinary authority on account of

misconduct of the concerned workman cannot be said to be shockingly disproportionate. It appears that at the time of

employment of the second party workman he had furnished false information and school leaving certificate submitted by

him to the first party company at the time of taking up the employment was found to be fake. Considering the gravity of

charges and the scope to interfere with the punishment imposed by the disciplinary authority, I find that the punishment

of termination from service is adequate to the alleged misconduct. Issue No.3 is therefore answered accordingly in the

affirmative.

Issue No. 4 & 5.

53.

In view of my findings to the above issues, the workman is not entitled to any relief. The reference is liable to be

rejected. Hence order.

ORDER

The reference is rejected with no order as to costs.

1.

This is reference made by the Central Government in exercise of powers under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and

sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 vide Government of India, Ministry of Labour &

Employment, New Delhi vide its order No. L-11012/35/2010 – IR (M-I) dated 05.05.2011. The terms of reference given

in the schedule are as follows :

and justified ? To what the workman is entitled to get benefits and from which date?”

2.

After the receipt of the reference, both the parties were served with the notices.

3.

On going through Rozanama it appears that the concerned workman remained absent since long i.e. since

23/9/2016. The concerned workman has not filed his affidavit or any other evidence to substantiate the Statement of

Claim, despite the fact that ample opportunity is given to the concerned workman to adduce evidence by way of affidavit

or by otherwise.

4.

It appears from the proceedings and submissions of first party that the first party has decided to close down

permanently irrevocably for good and the service of all the employees on the rolls of the firm to terminate on account of

permanent and irrevocably closing down of its business activities.

5.

In these circumstances, it appears that the concerned workman has failed to adduce the evidence to substantiate the

claim. Therefore, the Reference is liable to be rejected for want of evidence and accordingly the Reference is rejected.

1.

Central Government, MOL, New Delhi, vide notification no. L-42011/105/2016-IR (DU) dated 01/03/2017 has

referred this Industrial Dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication.

2.

“Whether the action of the management of Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur/M/s United Refrigeration

Works, Kanpur in terminating the services of Shri Pradeep Kumar Singh workman with effect from 01.02.2016 is

just fair & legal? If not, to what relief the workman concerned is entitled to?”

3.

Case of the worker Pradeep Kumar Singh is that he was appointed on 1/07/2013 at substation no. 2 as Electrical

Supervisor under O.P. no.1 and his appointing authority was Shri Vinay Tiwari who deputed the worker under

Vijay Kumar, Assistant Engineer. Worker states that he was discharging his work satisfactorily but Shri Vijay

Kumar started giving him mental torture because he was interested to get appointed his real Bhatija and when he

could not success in his mission then he brought his real relatives before him who started extending threat to the

worker. It is further stated by worker that he was terminated on 22.04.2015 against which he made a complaint

before SSP/ DM Kanpur Nagar and also sent a letter to Central Labor Court, Kanpur and the Labor authorities in

turn vide letter dated 25.05.2015 through register post in which Mr. Rajeev Kapoor and the worker was directed to

put their appearance on 10.06.15 before Shri Dependra Mohan Verma, LEO and the worker get justice which was

not liked by Shri Vijay Kumar and whatever behavior was being suffered by the worker he intimated the same to

the higher officer and the higher authorities after calling the worker and Shri Vijay Tiwari tried to reconcile the

matter. In consultation with Vijay Kumar one Shri Ishwar Singh highly skilled man was posted at substation no. 2

and worker was removed from there and ultimately Ishwar Singh was appointed as electrical supervisor and the

worker was asked to perform the work of A/C audit in the premises of IIT and this work was done by the worker in

the routine manner. It is further pleaded that on 22/01/2016 under the order of Shri Vinay Tiwari worker was

placed as plant operator but he did not resume the charge and stated that w.e.f 01.02.16 he is attending his duty

daily but no work was allotted to him.

4.

Apart from above it is stated by the worker that he was interviewed by Shri Vinay Tiwari Executive engineer in

which he was declared successful and he was allotted work at substation no. 2 which was under M/s Kapoor

Electrical Company India. He was paid fixed salary at Rs 13,000 which was paid to him by the officer of IIT and

also the same was enhanced by them but whatever staff was present at substation no. 2 their salary was enhanced

by Ministry of Labor. An amount of Rs 1560/month was deducted against EPF and Rs 227.50 was deducted by

way of contribution against ESI from his salary and in this way a total amount of Rs 11,212/- was received by him

as salary. He has further stated that he was posted as highly skilled worker in the firm of SM Engineer where he

was paid his salary Rs 461/- per day thereafter he was asked to join M/s United Refrigeration Works on 1.11.2015

thereafter from 22.01.2016 he was posted as plant operator in new IME building by way of transfer from where

w.e.f 1.02.2016 he was removed from the service.

5.

Worker has further stated no show cause notice was ever received by him alleged to have been sent by IIT and

when meeting was organized through labor department then these notices were provided to him by one Anil

Srivastava .

6.

Under the facts and circumstances as above, worker has requested that justice should be done in the matter.

7.

Opposite party no. 1 that is the Director IIT Kanpur has filed their reply/ written statement, inter alia, stating that

reference order speaks existence of Industrial Dispute between Opposite party no. 1/ opposite party no. 2 and

workman as a party to the dispute which renders the impugned reference order ambiguous , self contradictory and

evasive; that without application of proper mind Central Government has referred the dispute to this Tribunal

ignoring daily wager, casual and contract labrors have no lien in the employment of public sector; that the

establishment of opposite party no. 1 does not fall in purview of Industry and there had never been the relationship

of master and servant between Opposite party no. 1 and the conserned workman in any capacity whatsoever ; that

the present matter is not an Industrial Dispute for this reason; because neither the service of the claimant is

dismissed, retrenched, terminated nor has he been deprived from the work from 01.02.16 from OP. No. 1; because

no cause of action could have accrued to the claimant from 1.02.16 against O.P. no.1 as he had never been

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4397

appointed by it at any point of time in any capacity and because neither prima facie any case is made out nor

balance of convenience lies in favor the claimant.

8.

On merit management in reply to unnumbered opening para of the statement of the claim has stated that the same

are denied emphatically being contrary to the facts on record as also being not related with O.P. NO.1. Worker has

never been appointed or engaged by O.P. NO.1, however, it is stated that worker had been engaged by its

contractor in the past and lastly by O.P. NO.2. It is admitted by O.P. NO.1 that M/s Kapoor Electric

Company(India) was engaged with them as contractor and rest of the assertions are denied being fabricated,

misleading and contrary to the facts on record. In the present reference O.P. NO.1 had no role accept to ascertain

that the workers engaged by its contractors were paid wages etc as commensurate to their category of employment

fixed by Central Gov. from time to time. It is also denied by O.P. NO.1 that they had no power, authority,

jurisdiction and competence to fix or enhance the salary of claimant as he had never been its employee; however,

power was vested with the O.P. NO.2 under whose employment he had been working. On the basis of internal

working it was gathered that the claimant had in fact been engaged by M/s United Refrigeration Works, the O.P.

NO.2, the contractor of OP NO.1 w.e.f 1/11/2015 for completion of contract assigned to it and thereafter from

1/02/16, he started absenting from his duties for which workers were served letters dated 22/02/16, 2/02/16,9/03/16

which were never responded by him. He made false SMS to the district officer ultimately causing his own

appearance before Police station Kalyanpur where he regretted in writing so the services of the worker have been

dispensed by it. O.P. NO.2 vide their letter dated 1/04.2016 informed the Executive Engineer of OP NO.1 that

worker had not surrendered his identity card issued by O.P. NO.2, therefore, entry of worker in the premises of

O.P. NO.1 may not be allowed else O.P. NO.2 shall not be responsible. It is also stated by O.P. no.1 that the worker

had been engaged with M/s Kapoor Electric Company for sometimes and thereafter with M/s SM Engineer, the

contractor of O.P. NO.1 which is evident from the own contention of the worker and the documents enclosed with

the statement of the claim. The worker is habitual of accusing against his employer as well as officers of O.P. no.1.

9.

On the basis of above it is requested by O.P. no.1 that the claim of the worker is liable to be rejected being devoid

of merit.

10.

O.P. no.2 in its written statement has stated that they have been awarded contract as per tender entered into with

IIT Kanpur for day today maintenance of AC and domestic Air conditioning unit of academic area, all hostels,

visitor hostel, VFA and Health Centers etc., which was for the period of 12 months effective from 1.11.15 . It is

also alleged as per contract O.P. no.2 had to employ, Unskilled Labor-7, Semi Skilled Labor-17, and skilled labor

4, High Skilled labor-1. All these labors have been employed to perform contract on temporary and daily wage

basis and they were paid their wages as per provisions of Minimum Wages Act and ESI and PF benefit is also

extended to the labor as per contract. Worker Pradeep Kumar Singh has been appointed as highly skilled labor and

has drawn wages for the month of Nov. 2015 to Jan. 2016 from O.P. no.2 which is not in dispute. It is further

submitted that the worker remained absent from work w.e.f 01.02.16 without giving any written or oral notice to

the firm and due to absence of the worker O.P. no.2 has to suffer work loss and accordingly due notice dated

22/02.16, 2.03.16 and 9.03.16 were dully served upon the address at 3/86 A , Block F, Panki, Kanpur of the worker

and also intimated to the concern person of IIT requiring the worker to explain the reason of his absence from his

work. Notice served upon the worker has not been deliberately received by him and returned by the postal

authority. Due to his personal grievance with officers of IIT, worker has created nuisance and threatened for

committing suicide to the officers of IIT and its management and the matter was dealt with by PS Kalyanpur and

OP NO.2 was called upon in the matter where the worker himself admitted his guilt and since he was continuously

absent from the work O.P. no.2 vide letter dated 01.04.16 addressed to the Suptd. Engineer, ITW, IIT Kanpur,

informed that worker has been terminated from the work for his misconduct by way of unnecessary absence from

the work without giving any notice to the O.P. no.2. Worker has received payment on 15.02.16 for the month of

Jan 2016 through cheque dated 13.02.16 and has admitted his absence without any notice while receiving the

cheque and no reason for his absence was explained by him. Worker was appointed on temporary/daily wages basis

hence; he has no right of work under the O.P. no.2 after committing continuous misconduct by him as above. It

appears that worker has some problem with some alleged officers of IIT and the O.P. no.2 is not concerned with his

personal grievance with the officers of IIT and his illegal demand of the post of supervisor. Worker has not

whispered even a single word in the name of complaint against O.P. no. 2 expect his termination that was done due

to misconduct committed by him. Lastly it is pleaded that due to completion of tenure of work in terms of work

contract entered into with IIT and O.P.no.2 all the workers has been discharged on Oct 2016 by O.P. no.2. And on

the basis of above the O.P. no.2 prayed that in view of facts and circumstances as explained above, the claim

petition of the worker be rejected.

11.

Worker on the order sheet dated 27.06.17 had made an endorsement that he has not to file any rejoinder in the case.

12.

Worker Pradeep Kr. Singh has examined himself as W.W.1. Opposite party no. 1 has examined Sri Vinay Kumar

Tiwari, Ex. Engineer, I.I.T, Kanpur, as M.W.1 & opposite party no.2 Proprietor United Refrigeration Works

examined its Manager Sri Anil Srivastava as WW2.

6/30.

16.

I have heard the worker in person and AR for opposite party no. 1 and 2 and have also perused the record.

17.

M.W.1 Sri Vinay Kumari Tiwari, Ex.Engg. of opposite party no.1 has filed his affidavit in evidence stating that

opposite party no.1 has no control over the employees provided to the IIT by contractors nor they have any

relationship of master and servant between them and attendance of such employees provided by the contractor is

taken by the contractor and payment of wages is also made by the contractor. M.W.1 has also proved the

attendance register maintained by the contractor where attendance of worker is also taken. He further alleged that

the worker has never given any application for appointment nor his written examination or interview was taken and

he was never issued any appointment letter. In fact worker is in habit of making false complaint against the officers

of the opposite party no. 1 and the worker himself absconded from his duties from 01.02.16 and thereafter opposite

party no.2 has given him three notices dated 22.02.16, 02.03.16 and 09.03.16 but worker did not appear to resume

his duties and thereafter opposite party no.2 contractor has removed the worker from the service by letter dated

01.04.16 copy of letter has been proved by this witness. As worker was never in the employment of opposite party

no.1 hence question of termination of the service of the worker does not arise. His services were terminated by

opposite party no. by letter dated 1.04.16.

18.

In his cross examination the witness has denied that interviews of worker was taken by him and other officers for

his appointment. In fact worker was engaged by the contractor for the work. He further denied that the increment of

worker was granted by opposite party no.1.

19.

It appears from the cross examination of this witness that the worker did not cross examined the witness on the

point of his absence w.e.f. 1.2.16. Neither he has controverted the witness by suggesting that notices issued by

opposite party no.2 was not received by him nor he has cross examined the worker in his termination by opposite

party no.2 vide letter dated 01.04.16. As such the facts proved by the witness supported by documentary evidence

are not rebutted or challenged by the worker therefore, the testimony of M.W.1 is liable to be accepted.

20.

On behalf of opposite party no.2 M/s United Refrigeration works his manager Sri Anil Srivastava has filed his

evidence through affidavit as M.W.2 wherein he has deposed that the opposite party no.1 IIT awarded a work

tender for a period of 12 months effective from 1.11.15 by letter of acceptance dated 09.10.15 worker was engaged

on 01.11.15 and has performed the work up to Jan 16 in the category of skilled labor and received the wages as

such worker has not completed 240 days of continuous working. He absented from 01.02.16 upon which registered

notices dated 22.03.16, 02.03.16 and 09.03.16 were sent at the address of the worker but the notices were refused

and returned undelivered with the postal remark that the worker did not received notices deliberately. As such

opposite party no.2 through letter dated 01.04.16 terminated the services of the worker due to his unauthorized

absence from the place of work and he has received payment on 15.02.16 for the month of Jan., 16 vide cheque of

PNB endorsing his absence with without notice while receiving the cheque.

21.

Worker has asked a very few questions in the cross examination where this witness admitted that the worker

Pradeep Kumar Singh was not attending his duties from 01.02.16 and therefore, the services were terminated. He

has denied that the worker has continuously attended the duties up to 20.02.16. He has also admitted that on the

address provided by the worker three notices were sent through registered post but the worker did not received the

notices. Opposite party has also filed unopened all the three envelops through which the notices were sent to the

worker. A perusal of envelops reveals that they were returned to the opposite party no.2 with remarks of postman

as refused. As such service of notices is held sufficient by refusal of worker to receive the notices. This witness has

not been cross examined on relevant points stated by him and the evidence of M.W.2 is also supported by

documentary evidence which witness has not been rebutted or controverted in his cross examination. As such the

testimony of this witness is also liable to be accepted.

22.

Worker Sri Pradeep Kumar Singh has examined himself as w.w.1 who has denied acceptance of notices sent to

him by opposite party no.2. In his cross examination. He has stated that the opposite party no.2 has changed his

post from supervisor to operator and from that day he did not work himself but he has requested to Mr. Vinay

Tiwari to allot him another work but he was not given another work. He has further admitted that he was paid his

wages by opposite party no.2 and his EPF and ESI was deducted by the contractor. He was never given any

appointment letter by IIT that is why he was not the employee of IIT. He admitted his signature on paper no.4/44

which is receiving payment of wages through cheque dated 13.02.16 wherein it is written that worker remained

absent without any information from 01.02.16 and today he has come to receive the payment.

23.

He further admitted that his attendance was taken by contractor opposite party no.2 and wages was also paid by

opposite party no.2.

24.

From the perusal of evidence of worker it is clear that he has also admitted to be the employee of opposite party

no.2 and also admitted receiving of wages through opposite party no.2. As such he has admitted the case of

opposite parties that he was the employee of opposite party no.2 from whom he was receiving his wages. He has

further admitted for not attending duties after change of work from supervisor to operator and all the three notices

sent to him by opposite party no.2 are held to be sufficiently by refusing to accept the notices. He has received the

payment for the month of Jan. through cheque of opposite party no.2 dated 13.2.16. As such it indicates that he has

received full and final payment of wages endorsing that he himself absented and now he has come to receive

wages. It is also evident that opposite party no.2 contractor given sufficient opportunity to the worker by issuing

three notices but the worker has refused to accept the same and did not resume his duties.

25.

As such termination of his service by opposite party by letter dated 01.04.16 with effect from 01.02.16 is just and

legal.

26.

One more point is to be discussed that the worker has not worked continuously for 240 days under opposite party

no.2 therefore, worker is not liable to get any benefit under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act.

27.

For the reasons discussed above, it is held that the termination of services of the worker w.e.f.1.2.16 is just fair and

legal and the worker is not entitled for any relief pursuant to the present reference order.

Distt. Raipur (Chhattisgarh)

AWARD

(Dated: 16th May, 2018)

In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section 2(A) of section 10 of

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) (“the Act” in short), the Central Government has referred the industrial

dispute between the employers, in relation to the management of The Divisional Engineer, Telecom Project (“Party No.

1” in short) and their workman, Shri Rewa Ram Banajare (the “workman” in short), for adjudication, as per letter No.L-

40012/64/2004- IR(DU) dated 23.09.2009, with the following schedule:-

“Whether the action of the management of Divisional Engineer, Telecom Project, BSNL, Raipur in

terminating the services of Shri Rewa Ram Banjare w.e.f. 31.12.1990 is legal and justified? It not, what

relief the workman is entitled to?”

2.

On receipt of the reference, the parties were noticed to file their respective statement of claim and written

statement, by registered post with acknowledge due. On 22.10.2009, statement of claim was filed and on 18.11.2009,

written statement was filed and on 05.04.2011, rejoinder was filed.

3.

By filing of statement of claim, workman stated that, he was appointed as a labour on 18.04.1985, but his service

was terminated by order dated 11.12.1990, but according to the workman, his service was actually terminated on

31.12.1990.

4.

According to the workman, he worked for more than 240 days in each calendar year, but Party No. 1 had not

given any proper opportunity being heard before termination of his service. According to the workman, he was also very

severe harassed and disproportionate punishment was passed against him.

5.

So, he prayed that, order of termination dated 11.12.1990 is illegal, improper and unjust. So, he is entitled for

reinstatement with full back wages.

6.

All major facts were denied by the Party No. 1 by filing written statement, but it is admitted that, workman was

terminated on 31.12.1990, because he was casual labour on the basis of contract. There was no appointment order and

the question of termination does not arise. According to the Party No. 1, workman was engaged on the availability of the

work, if work was not available, his service was not required. He was a causal labour, there is no appointment order and

the question of termination does not arise.

7.

It was denied that, the workman worked for more than 240 days in each calendar year. All mazdoors on roll in

the year of 1990 were retrenched by the department by giving proper notice and compensation. In the same line,

workman was also terminated by giving notice and paid the compensation in 1990.

8.

According to the Party No. 1, statement of claim is also hopeless and devoid of by limitation. According to the

Party No. 1, the workman is not entitled to any relief.

9.

By filing rejoinder, workman asserted all most all facts, which were mentioned in the statement of claim.

According to him, he had completed more than 240 days in every calendar year. It is denied that, still work is available

with Party No. 1. He had not been paid the retrenchment compensation at the time of termination of service. According

to the workman, he filed a claim before Central Administrative Tribunal and the case was dismissed by the court. So,

this court has the jurisdiction to entertain this dispute.

4402

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

10.

Point of determination:

a.

Whether the action of the management in termination of service of the workman is legal and justified?

b.

Whether the workman is entitled to any relief?

Reasons for observation:

On behalf of the workman, in support of the statement of claim, he filed evidence on affidavit on 13.09.2011. On

the contrary, on behalf of the Party No. 1, evidence on affidavit of Shri R.R. Yadav was filed, but both the parties were

not present in the court for further examination and cross-examination, so, their evidence is incomplete. As far as the

affidavits are concerned, no document was produced and proved on behalf of the both parties, so these evidences treated

as oath against oath. We fail to understand, what facts are proved and what are not proved. In my opinion, burden of

proof is lying on the workman. So, workman failed to prove those facts, which were raised in the statement of claim and

rejoinder. Hence, it is ordered:

ORDER

The reference is answered in the negative and against the petitioner. The petitioner is not entitled to any

relief.

section 2(s) of the Act ? (3) If it is so, whether the termination of applicant from services is lawful and justified ?

and (4) If not, to what relief the applicant is entitled to ?”

2.

After the receipt of the reference, both the parties were served with the notices. They appeared through their

respective representatives.

3.

The second party workman has filed statement of claim Ex.7. According to the second party workman, on 21.7.89

he joined as Computer Operator, a Group-B post with employer, National Institute of Industrial Engineering, an

academic institute under Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India. Then he got promoted as Programmer w.e.f. 9.10.1990 and

subsequently again got promoted to the post of Sr. Programmer in the year 2000. Since then he had been serving as Sr.

Programmer with the office of employer.

4.

According to the concerned workman, the post of Sr. Programmer is a post falling into academic staff and

classified as Group-A officer by NITIE Service Rules and NITIE [Classification, Control & Appeal] Rules 1988 and

NITIE Conduct Rules 1988, relating to condition of service of second party workman. While serving as Sr. Programmer,

he was in receipt of the scale pay of Rs.15600 – 39100 + Grade pay of Rs.7600/- which corresponds to 6th CPC.

5.

It is the case of the concerned workman that while serving as Sr. Programmer with the employer, he had blown the

whistle against the corruption by some of the office bearers / officials of the employers NITIE. He addressed a complaint

dt. 20.5.10 to the then Director of NITIE thereby pointing out as to how there was financial irregularities in the computer

centre being under the control of one Mr. Anand Naidu, Manager, Computer Centre, NITIE. Having received no

response on his complaint dt. 20.5.10, he had to resort to RTI Act, 2005 vide his RTI application dt. 1.12.11 so as to

gather the relevant information to substantiate the financial irregularities in computer centre, NITIE thereby causing loss

to the public money funded by Govt. of India to NITIE. The information so received disclosed that purchase orders were

being given to a particular supplier for the years together and most importantly an amount of Rs.599935/- was shown as

spent for purchasing some software items for 2006 which were renewable for 2nd and 3rd year i.e. for the year 2007 &

2008. However, even in 2007 an amount of Rs.681592/- was again shown as spent for purchasing some software items

which were already purchased and were to be renewed for 2007-08. He therefore reported the aforesaid irregularities

vide his complaints dt. 21.2.12 & 29.2.12 to the Director of NITIE namely Mr. Amitabha De and requested him to take

the action. He had specifically brought to the notice of the Director of NITIE namely Mr. Amitabha De that in case of no

response, he would be constrained to inform the CBI and made it clear that the Director of NITIE namely Mr. Amitabha

De may also get implicated as an officer trying to protect the subordinates. Thereafter he addressed a complaint dt.

9.3.12 to the Chairman of NITIE thereby reporting the financial irregularities in the purchase of computers, laptops,

software items etc. by Mr. Anand Naidu, Manager, Computer centre and also inaction of Director of NITIE namely Mr.

Amitabha De. Having not received any response on the aforesaid complaints, he addressed a complaint on 9.4.12 to

DIG, CBI, Mumbai thereby requesting him to unearth the ongoing financial irregularities and corruption in NITIE by

holding the enquiry.

6.

It is then case of the concerned workman that Mr. Amitabha De had developed bias and prejudiced mind set against

him for the reason that he was trying to unearth the irregularities concerning purchase of equipments causing to the tune

of Rs.6.68 crores [Approx.] but kept in scraps even till date and hence Mr. Amitabha De started displaying his mind set

against the second party workman in every possible way.

7.

It is thus case of the concerned workman that Mr. Amitabha De the then incharge of the Director of NITIE

suspended him on 24.9.12 without any authority of law or approval from the competent authority of NITIE i.e. Board of

Governors headed by Chairman. Mr. Amitabha De then issued a Memorandum of charge sheet dt. 24.9.12 proposing to

hold enquiry against him for imposing major penalty under rule 10 of NITIE Classification, Control & Appeal Rules

1988 read with Rule 11, 20 & 24 of NITIE Conduct Rules 1988 on 12 charges. He submitted his written statement of

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4405

defence dt. 28.9.12 thereby denying the charges leveled against him and stating that he had not committed any act as

alleged and desired to be heard in enquiry.

8.

It is then the case of the second party workman that during suspension, he was deprived of the subsistence

allowance and at the same time was departmentally proceeded against him, by appointing an advocate Mr. A.M. Nathani

as Presenting Officer and appointing retired judicial officer namely Mr. Arun Lad as Enquiry Officer, both being

outsiders. As such during the suspension he was deprived of subsistence allowance. He therefore vide his letter dt.

30.10.12 informed that he was under medical treatment and requested the employer to release the subsistence allowance.

However, surprisingly Mr. Amitabha De again issued another Memorandum dt. 2.11.12 against him with similar charges.

He then submitted his written statement of defence dt. 9.11.12 thereby denying the charges leveled against him and

stating that he has not committed any such act as alleged and desired to be heard in enquiry. He also pointed out that

enquiry proceedings have been initiated by Mr. Amitabha De, Director incharge with vindictiveness and grudge against

him and therefore he would not get justice in such biased proceedings. However, on 12.1.12 Mr. Amitabha De vide

communication informed second party workman that written statement of defence dt. 28.9.12 and 9.11.12 were found by

him to be unsatisfactory.

9.

According to the concerned workman, vide letters dt. 14.11.12, 10.12.12 & 17.12.12 he requested the Director

incharge to adjourn the enquiry proceedings so as to enable him to appoint his defending officer and also pointed out that

he was under medical treatment. However, the first party did not show even courtesy of responding fair request of the

second party workman to release the subsistence allowance so as to enable him to appoint defending officer of his choice

but proceeded ex-parte against the second party workman, without affording fair & reasonable opportunity of defence to

the second party workman. The enquiry proceedings commenced on 16.11.12 that to ex-parte against him. The first

party institute examined as many as witnesses including Mr. Amitabha De the Director incharge of NITIE who have

framed the charges against him and issued the charge sheet and then enquiry proceedings concluded on 26.12.12.

10.

It is then the case of the concerned workman that he was deprived of his subsistence allowance thereby literally

denying him his right to defence himself. He has been punished in total violation of principles of natural justice. He was

not afforded the opportunity of defending himself by taking assistance of legal practitioner under rule 10 (8) (A) of

NITIE [CCA] Rules, 1988 and thus having finished the enquiry proceedings against the second party, E.O. submitted his

report. On 25.2.13 the second party submitted his comments / written submission disagreeing with the report of E.O. dt.

11.1.13. However, vide impugned order dt. 17.5.13 second party came to be removed from service of NITIE.

11. According to the second party workman, he then preferred departmental appeal to the employer against the order

dt. 17.5.13 as he was under belief that the order was appealable. He thereafter approached the Hon’ble H.C. vide civil

WP No. 2555 of 2013 u/s. 226 of Constitution of India. Hon’ble High Court was pleased to pass the order dt. 29.1.14

thereby observing that the petition will have to be heard finally at the admission stage and posted the petition for final

hearing on 12.3.14. In the mean time he received the order dt. 18.2.14 issued by the Chairman of NITIE rejecting his

appeal and confirming the order of removal dt. 17.5.13. After receiving the said order dt. 18.2.14 he had to amend the

WP No. 2555 of 2013 incorporating the challenge to the appellate order dt. 18.2.14. Hon’ble H.C. dismissed the said writ

petition vide order dt. 22.8.14 holding that the disputed facts would need evidence and as such the petition was dismissed

with liberty to the second party to approach the tribunal or the Labour court under I.D. Act by keeping all the points

open. The second party filed SLP seeking special leave of the Hon’ble S.C. to appeal against the order of Hon’ble H.C.

dt. 22.8.14 in WP No. 2555 of 2013 but the Hon’ble Apex Court dismissed the SLP in liminee.

12.

It is thus the case of the concerned workman that he then filed an application dt. 20.11.14 before the ALC [C],

Mumbai raising industrial dispute. The ALC [C], Mumbai after failure of conciliation sent report dt. 13.5.15 to the Govt.

of India, Labour & Employment to the effect that second party falls in the category of Group – A or Clause – I officer

and his salary exceeds Rs.19000/- p.m. and that NITIE was also not an industry. Thereafter Govt. of India accordingly

issued a letter dt. 27.5.15 refusing to make the reference on the ground that NITIE was not an industry and second party

was not workman. Thereafter second party again approached the Hon’ble Bombay H.C. vide WP No. 897 of 2015

seeking to quash & set aside the removal order dt. 17.5.13. However, vide order dt. 21.7.15 the Hon’ble H.C. has been

pleased to declare that the report dt. 13.5.15 and order dt. 27.5.15 of the Govt. of India are bad in law and further directed

to make a fresh reference to this tribunal. Pursuant to which, Govt. of India vide its order dt. 1.9.15 made a reference to

this tribunal.

13.

It is thus case of the concerned workman that the departmental proceedings vide memorandum dt. 24.9.12 and

2.11.12 against him for imposing penalty of removal from service of institute and the order dt. 18.12.14 passed by the

Chairman of NITIE the employer rejecting the appeal of the second party against the major penalty of removal from

service are illegal. He is therefore asking to quash & set aside the impugned order dt. 17.5.13 and to direct the first party

to reinstate him into service with all consequential benefits w.e.f. 24.9.12.

14.

The first party resisted claim by filing written statement Ex.9 contending therein that the second party workman

was re-designated from the post of Programmer to the post of Sr. Programmer w.e.f. 2.3.2000 which cannot be termed as

4406

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

a promotion. It is then contention that the second party served as a Sr. Programmer in computer section. He never had

any managerial, administrative or supervisory power. The nature of duties performed by him prior to the termination at

the most can be considered as technical or operational as defined u/s. 2 (s) of the act.

15.

It is then contented by the first party that second party was in grade pay of Rs.6600/- prior to his termination and

not in the grade pay of Rs.7600/- as has been claimed under reference. It is contended that the first party employer is an

autonomous body under the Dept. of Higher Education, Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India and is having its Memorandum

of Association and the rules. The first party is also having its rules regulations which deals with service conditions and

its regulations known as NITIE [CCA] Rules 1988 and NITIE Rules 1988. In addition to that the first party is also

having NITIE Service Rules. Over and above, the aforesaid rules and the regulations, there is no rule provided to deal

with any contingencies, Govt. of India Rules are being followed as has been stated u/R 34. As such there is no need to

borrow the provisions of Industrial Employment Standing Orders Act, 1946 and rules framed thereunder. As such the

first party is an industry u/s. 2 (j).

16.

It is also a case of the first party that the allegations / apprehensions made by the second party were examined by

the management of first party but there was no substance in the allegations. There are no financial irregularities in

computer centre headed by Anand Naidu as Manager, Computer Centre. In this respect, first party employer has

provided all the details and documents to the concerned workman sought by him under RTI Act in respect of institute

incurring an expenditure of Rs.599935/- for purchase of software in 2006. The enquiry was made by the Director

incharge and the letter dt. 24.2.12 was issued to the second party but due to personal rift with his immediate superior

Anand Naidu, the second party made allegations against him. As such there was no question of Dr. Amitabha De

shielding any irregularities and there is no substance in the complaint of second party.

17.

It is thus denied by the first party that acting Director had purchased the relevant equipments to the tune of Rs.6.68

crores. It is also denied by the first party that the equipments purchased to the tune of Rs.6.68 crores are kept in scraps.

18.

It is then case of the first party that the decision to suspend the second party pending enquiry was taken by the

competent authority and then on instructions, acting Director Prof. Amitabha De just signed the order of suspension dt.

24.9.12. Prof. Amitabha De himself has not participated in the decision making process. Decision to frame the charges

as set out in the Memorandums as well as decision to place the second party under suspension was taken by the

competent authority. The principles of natural justice, equity & fair play were duly followed by the first party. However,

the second party for the unknown reason did not participate in the enquiry even though the enquiry proceedings were

adjourned from time to time.

19.

It is also a case of the first party that the second party workman was communicated by the first party vide its order

of suspension dt. 24.9.12 that the second party would be eligible to draw subsistence allowance as per the rules, if during

the period of suspension second party does not take any remunerative job or get himself gainfully employed elsewhere

with or without any remuneration. The second party was also directed to furnish month to month certificate to the A/cs.

section to the effect that he has not taken any job during the said month. The second party failed and neglected to submit

the non- employment certificate required to be submitted as per the rules applicable to the government employees.

20.

According to the first party, the second party workman was also informed vide letter dt. 12.11.12 that the second

party should attend the enquiry along with his defendant. However, the second party never attended the enquiry

proceedings inspite of fact that the enquiry was adjourned on various occasions. Pursuant to the second party letter dt.

14.11.12 the E.O. adjourned the enquiry on 16.11.12 to 3.12.12. Thereafter the intimation letters were sent to the second

party by hand delivery as well as by speed post / RPAD. But then the same intimation letters remained unclaimed as

were refused by the second party / his family members. Some of the intimation letters were issued by the second party

either directly or through his close relatives residing with him in NITIE’s service quarter.

21.

It is then case of the first party that the second party workman produced medical certificates to delay the hearing of

the enquiry proceedings when infact, the first party arranged for extensive medical check-up by the team of doctors at the

entire expenses of first party but the second party did not attend the IIT Medical Board where the arrangement was made

for the detailed medical examination of the second party.

22.

According to the first party, at no place it was pleaded by the second party during the pendency of enquiry

proceedings that he required the subsistence allowance to appoint defending officer or advocate of his choice. He never

submitted any communication to the effect that he is enable to participate in the enquiry for want of subsistence

allowance. During the enquiry the second party never informed by his communication that he wanted to avail the facility

of getting defended by the legal practitioner. The first party at no point of time had denied the opportunity to the second

party. On the contrary it is contention of the first party that second party pressurized the management of first party

through the office of National Commission of S.C. who told the first party that if subsistence allowance is not remitted

the first will be prosecuted. In view of said pressure, the first party has to pay the entire subsistence allowance to the

second party even though he did not comply with the requirement of order of suspension dt. 24.9.12.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4407

23.

According to the first party, after the enquiry was concluded the findings of the E.O. was forwarded to the second

party for his comments. The matter was referred to the Personnel Committee which was required to submit the

recommendations to the Board of Governors regarding proposed action to be taken. Accordingly, the Personnel

Committee submitted the recommendations in its meeting held on 1.9.13. The said recommendations of the Personnel

Committee along with relevant documents were considered by the Board of Governors and approved the

recommendations of Personnel Committee and directed the second party to be removed from the services as per NITIE

[CCA] Rules, 1988 – IV (7) (VIII) with immediate effect. The Board of Governors vide their order dt. 17.5.13 decided

to remove the services of the second party. The second party approached the appellate authority. However, the decision

taken by NITIE Society was communicated to the second party by the Chairman. The Chairman also concurred the

decision of NITIE Society in its meeting held on 25.9.13 and accordingly the NITIE Society through its Chairman

conveyed their decision as contained in the letter dt. 18.2.14.

24. It is also a case of the first party that the nature of duties assigned to the second party prior to his removal from

service falls within the definition of the ‘workman’ u/s. 2(s) of the act. It is therefore contention of the first party that the

enquiry was conducted in accordance with its rules and regulations and principles of natural justice, equity & fair play

were followed. Even the penalty imposed upon the second party under para IV Rule 7 (VIII) of NITIE [CCA] Rules,

1988 is just and proper and equitable and the same cannot be construed as disproportionate to the misconduct committed.

The first party is therefore asking for rejection of reference.

REASONS

Issue No. 1

26.

So far this issue is concerned, the concerned workman in para 3 of the pleadings [statement of claim] contended

that the institute is not an industry within the meaning of section 2(j) of the I.D. Act as NITIE has no Model Standing

Orders. As such if employer NITIE had been an industrial employer, it would have had the Model Standing Orders.

27.

In the context, the evidence of the concerned workman is to the effect that as per the Societies Registration Act the

Scientific and Research Institute imparting higher education is not coming under section 2(j) of the act. The concerned

workman in his evidence has admitted that the institute carries out its activities with the assistance of its employees

including faculty. Section 2(j) of the act defines ‘Industry’ as under:

“Industry” means any business, trade, undertaking, manufacture or calling of employers and includes any calling, service,

employment, handicraft, or industrial occupation or avocation of workman.

4408

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

28.

There are 3 tests to consider whether the establishment or undertaking is an industry or not ? they are namely,

(i)

Existence of systematic activity

(ii)

cooperation between workmen and employer

(iii)

produces goods and services for the benefits of society

In this respect hand can be led on the decision in case of Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board V/S. Rajappa

& Ors – 1978 LAB – IC – 267.

29.

It can be said that the amendment carried out by an act No. 46 / 92 is not in force. The proposed amendment to

section 2 (j) was not carried out in the notification dt. 21.8.84. As per the proposed amendment to section 2 (j),

Educational, Scientific, Research and Training Institutes are excluded from the definition of industry. However, the

amended definition is not yet brought into force by the Central Govt.

30.

Learned Counsel for the management submitted that the industrial dispute amendment bill in 1982 under clause 2

(c) was proposed to be incorporated for the amendment of definition u/s. 2(j) but in the notification issued dt. 21.8.84 the

said proposed amendment of section 2 (c) covering section 2(j) was not brought into force. Submission is to the effect

that the Hon’ble Apex Court in the decision in case of State of U.P. V/s. Jaibirsingh – 2005 (3) CTC 741 has clarified

that the amendment to section 2 (j) is not brought into force and therefore the Hon’ble S.C. of India in the said judgment

felt necessity to place the cases before the Hon’ble Chief Justice of India for constituting a suitable larger bench for

reconsideration of the judgment passed in Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board V/s. Rajappa & Ors. In this view

the submission is that looking into to the definition of section 2(j) of the act and the ratio laid down by the Hon’ble Apex

Court in Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board V/s. Rajappa & Ors, the institute is an industry.

31.

It is thus held in the decision in case of Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board V/s. Rajappa & Ors cited supra

that industry u/s. 2 (j) of the act has wide import. An industry is one where there is systematic activity organized by the

cooperation between the employer and employee for production and distribution of the goods and services calculated to

satisfy human wants and wishes. Absence of notice or gainful employment is irrelevant. True focus is final and decisive

test, is nature of activity with special emphasis on employer employee relationship. It is held that the Organisation does

not cease to be trade & business merely because it is engaged in philanthropic activities. Welfare activities of economic

nature undertaken by the Government come within the meaning of industry. Even departments discharging sovereign

functions if there are units which are industries and they are substantially severable then they can be considered to come

within section 2 (j).

32.

In view of this legal position it can be said that the institute carry out its activities with the assistance of employees

including faculty. There exists co-operation between the employer and workman and therefore the institute is an industry

as defined u/s. 2 (j) of the act.

33.

Here it is necessary to point out that the concerned workman has challenged his termination of services from the

institute vide WP No. 2555 of 2013 and his writ petition came to be dismissed by the order dt. 22.8.14 inter-alia on the

ground that the alternate remedy is available to him. In this writ petition the issues were raised, whether the petitioner is

workman as contemplated u/s. 2 (s) of the act and whether the respondent which is an education institution having its

own rules & regulations is an industry as defined in section 2 (j) of the act or not ? However, writ petition came to be

dismissed with the term ‘workman’ and ‘industry’ are required to be considered by the tribunal and as such alternative

remedy is available to the concerned workman.

34.

The concerned workman relying on the order passed by the Ministry of Labour dt. 27.5.15 has again filed writ

petition before Hon’ble H.C. bearing No. 897 of 2015 and that writ petition also came to be dismissed and the workman

was directed to exhaust the remedy before the tribunal. The Hon’ble H.C. in the said writ petition was pleased to observe

that the communication / finding of the ALC / Conciliation officer to the effect that the dispute of the workman is not fit

for adjudication to CGIT, was bad in law. It can be said that the conclusion arrived by the conciliation officer-cum-

Labour Commissioner about the institute not falling under the definition of industry u/s. 2 (j) of the act is set aside by the

Hon’ble H.C. of Judicature of Bombay in the said WP No. 897 of 2015.

35.

In view of this, I find that the activities carried out by the institute with the assistance of its employees including

faculty fall within the definition of section 2 (j) of the I.D. Act. As such the institute is an industry as defined u/s. 2 (j) of

the act. This issue is therefore answered accordingly in affirmative.

Issue No. 2

36.

It is the main contention of the concerned workman that he is very much categorized as Group-A officer classified

in the academic cadre and pay scales of Rs.15600 – 39100 in pay band – 3 with Grade pay of Rs.6600/- as per rule IV

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4409

part-II of NITIE [CCA] Rules 1988 and NITIE Service Rules 1988 Schedule – I and therefore he is not a workman

within the meaning of section 2 (s) of the act.

37.

Learned Counsel for the second party workman submitted that all the 4 management witnesses during their

evidence have admitted this fact as regards the grade pay and pay scale of the concerned workman and that the

employees drawing the pay scales of Rs.15600 – 39100 are classified as Group-A officers of NITIE. Admittedly,

therefore the concerned workman who was working as Sr. Programmer is classified into academic staff of NITIE as per

the rules. With this the submission of the Learned Counsel for the concerned workman is that the concerned workman is

not a workman within the meaning of section 2 (s) of the act.

38.

For it is explicit, that there is no word like ‘workman’ used in NITIE Service Rules and NITIE [CCA] Rules 1988

and NITIE Conduct Rules 1988. But then the word ‘employee’ is used in the aforesaid rules of the institute. So far

definition of ‘workman’ is concerned, it is given u/s.2 (s) of the act, definition of the workman given u/s. 2 (s) of the act

is reproduced below:

“Section 2 (s) – “workman” means any person (including an apprentice) employed in any industry to do any

manual, unskilled, skilled, technical, operational, clerical or supervisory work for hire or reward, whether the terms

of employment be express or implied, and for the purpose of any proceeding under this act in relation to an

industrial dispute, includes any such person who has been dismissed, discharged or retrenched in connection with,

or as a consequence of, that dispute, or whose dismissal, discharge or retrenchment has led to that dispute, but does

not include any such person –

(i)

Who is subject to the Air Force Act, 1950 (45 of 1950), or the Army Act, 1950 (46 of 1950), or the Navy

Act, 1957 (62 of 1957); or

(ii)

Who is employed mainly in a managerial or administrative capacity; or

(iii) Who, being employed in a supervisory capacity, draws wages exceeding 3 [ten thousand rupees] per mensem

or exercises, either by the nature of the duties attached to the office or by reason of the powers vested in him,

functions mainly of a managerial nature.]”

The MRTU & PULP Act, 1971 defines the word ‘Employee’ and not ‘Workman’. As per Section 3 (5) of the said

Act, the word ‘Employee’ is defined as under:-

“Section 3(5) – “employee’ in relation to an industry to which the Bombay Act for the time being applies, means

an employee as defined in clause (13) of section 3 of the Bomb ay Act, and in any other case, means a workman as

defined in clause (s) of Section 2 of the Central Act, and a sale promotion employee as defined in clause (d) of

Section 2 of the Sales Promotion Employees (Conditions of Service) Act, 1976”.

Thus, the meaning of ‘Workman’ U/s 2 (s) of the Act is the same as that of an ‘Employee’ under the provisions of

MRTU & PULP Act.

39.

So far duties of the concerned workman are concerned, duties are shown in Ex.34 i.e. Sr. No. 6 of the list of

documents at Ex.27, Page No. 969 which are as given below:

1.

To understand the exact requirement of various users departments for the computerization work.

2.

Develope computerized application systems & procedure such as Electricity Billing Information Systems,

Monthly Pay-Roll systems, Academic Information Systems, Library Information Systems, Management

Information System and Executive Program Information Systems for the Institute.

3.

To extend support in conducting demonstration and hands on session during training / academic programs in

systems area such as Work Study, Stastical Analysis, Quality Control programs and Management games for

the participants/students/various users.

4.

Successfully completed the consultancy assignment to carry out feasibility study, preparation of SOR & FS

for Air Port Services Department of AIR INDIA under taken by the Institute in the area of systems.

5.

Any other duty that may be assigned to him from time to time by the competent authority.

40.

From the duties and responsibilities of the concerned workman, it can be seen that he never had managerial,

administrative or supervisory powers. Form the evidence on record also it is clear that the concerned workman as a

Programmer or Sr. Programmer worked under Mr. Anand Naidu in Computer Centre. Manager Computer Centre,

Library and Information Officer, System Designer, Sr. Programmer & Programmer are non-teaching cadres and their pay

scales are different. As such the concerned workman who was working as a Sr. Programmer belongs to academic non-

teaching cadre. Even in his evidence the concerned workman has admitted that he or any Sr. Programmer in the

Computer centre has not discharged the work as faculty and then also he admitted that he was neither given any

managerial or administrative duties while working as a Sr. Programmer. It is thus admitted position that he was never

given any managerial or administrative responsibility.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

41.

Evidence of Mr. Anand Naidu Ex.113 is also relevant in respect of nature of duties of the concerned workman.

According to him, the concerned workman was never given any managerial, administrative or supervisory powers /

duties. Dr. Amitabha De has also stated that the concerned workman never discharged any managerial, administrative or

supervisory duties. Even it appears that the concerned workman did not file any document to show that at any point of

time he prepared any programme of academic activities of the institute and therefore in view of duties performed by the

concerned workman, it cannot be said that he had any managerial, administrative or supervisory duties.

42.

So far legal position is concerned, the designation of the concerned workman is immaterial. It is not a designation

or the post who decide as to whether a particular person is a workman or not ? It is nature of duties i.e. relevant for

deciding factor as to whether the concerned person is a workman or not u/s. 2 (s) of the act. The concerned workman

though he was in academic cadre, he discharged the work as per the directions of his superiors as Programmer or a Sr.

Programmer. He was working in computer centre and as per own admission of the concerned workman in his reply to

second Memorandum dt. 2.11.12 (Ex. N) to the statement of claim on page 112, Mr. Anand Naidu used to take all the

purchasing decision himself without involving even senior officers of the computer centre. In view of that the concerned

workman cannot be considered to have been performing the duties as managerial, administrative or supervisory. As per

his duties and responsibilities, he was required to work on computer to develop programmes. He was directed to assist

the program section in generating reports with the use of existing data base as per requirement and develop new user

friendly software package which includes various application requirements of program section.

43.

In the context, Learned Counsel for the management has placed reliance on the decision in case of K. Ramesha V/s.

Nitin Pande & Ors. – reported in MANU/OT/0004/2016 wherein it was considered that a Sr. Service Programmer is a

workman u/s. 2 (s) of the Act.

44.

The Learned Counsel for the management also seeks to rely on the decision in case of S. Mahipal Reddy V/s.

Secretary Labour Dept., Govt. of A.P. Hyderabad & Ors. – 2000 (1) ALD 266, to submit that there cannot be any

distinction between term ‘employee’ and ‘workman’ as has been emphasized and the work ‘employee’ includes

workman. In this view the submission is that though there is no word ‘workman’ used in NITTI [CCA] Rules, 1988 &

Service Rules and the word ‘employee’ is used that cannot make any distinction. But then the nature of duties are to be

seen to consider whether the concerned workman is a workman or not and if prominent nature of the duties are not

supervisory the person concerned is workman u/s. 2 (s) of the act. In the context, reliance is placed on the decision in

case of Anand Bazar Patrika [Pvt. Ltd.] V/s. the Workman – 1969(18) – FLR – 186.

45.

In view of the above, I find that the concerned workman though designated as Sr. Programmer w.e.f. 2.3.2000 had

no managerial, administrative or supervisory powers. The nature of duties as discharged by him can at the most be

considered as technical or operational. His designation is immaterial.

46.

Even then the Learned Counsel for the second party workman submitted that the second party workman is

categorized as Gr.-A officer classified in academic cadre and pay scale of Rs.15600 – 39100 in pay band – 3 with Grade

pay of Rs.6600/- which is exceeding Rs.10,000/- p.m. and therefore the concerned workman cannot treated as workman.

In the context he seeks to rely on the decision in case of Secretary, Indian Tea V/S. Ajeet Kumar Bharat & Ors. – 2000

(1) SCR – 787. In this case referred to above, the respondent was employed as a Joint Secretary of Indian Tea

Association. On his dismissal for disobeying the order of transfer, he filed complaint to the Labour Commissioner and

submitted that he is not a workman. Hon’ble H.C. directed the Government to make reference as to whether the

respondent was a workman. In the facts, it is held by the Hon’ble Apex Court that appropriate Government would be

justifying in making the reference u/s. 10 of the act if it is satisfied on the facts & circumstances brought to its notice that

industrial dispute exists or is apprehended and industrial dispute as per clause – (k) of the section 2 of the act means

inter-alia a dispute or difference between the employers and employers and between the employers and workman.

Clause - (s) section 2 of the act defines workman. It is observed in para 9 of the judgment that before making a reference

u/s. 10 of the act the appropriate Government has to form a opinion whether the employee is a workman and thereafter

has to consider as to whether the industrial dispute exists or is apprehended. In that case it was finding of the fact that the

Government rightly approached the question whether the respondent No.1 was a workman. While deciding the question,

State Govt. took into consideration salary and allowances of respondent No.1 drawn at the relevant time and also the

nature of work. It was thus finding of the fact that the administrative order passed by the State Govt. was passed after

taking into consideration the material available on record and it could not be faulted. For the reasons it was held that

both the appellate court and Hon’ble H.C. erred in law in issuing mandamus directing the State Govt. to make the

appropriate reference and the judgment of the appellate court and Hon’ble H.C. are set aside.

47.

The Learned Counsel for the second party workman seeks to rely on the decision in case of Prabhakar V/s. Joint

Director, Sericulture Dept. and Anr. – JT 2015 (9) SC – 83 to submit that the order of reference passed by the Govt.

cannot be examined by the Hon’ble H.C. in its jurisdiction under article 226 of the Constitution to see if the Government

had material before it and to submit the conclusion that the dispute existed or was apprehended. The satisfaction of the

existence of industrial dispute or the satisfaction of industrial dispute is apprehended is condition president to the order of

reference. Thus where the industrial dispute exists or is apprehended but the appropriate govt. refuses to make the

reference, such refusal can be challenged in the court of law. In that case it was finding of the fact that the Hon’ble H.C.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4411

correctly decided the issue holding that the reference at such a belated stage that is after 14 years of the termination

without any justifiable explanation for delay, the appropriate govt. had no jurisdiction or power to make reference of non

existing disputes.

48.

Here in the present case, the facts are quite different and distinguishable. In WP No. 897 of 2015 filed by the

concerned workman in the Hon’ble H.C., the concerned workman challenged his dismissal of services from the institute

on the ground that during the conciliation proceeding dt. 24.2.15, the workman stated that he is not a workman and

pleaded that the conciliation officer / ALC [C-I] is not appropriate authority and sought permission to approach the

appropriate authority. On statement of the workman, the conciliation proceedings were terminated. The Ministry of

Labour by its letter dt. 27.7.15 informed the institute that the dispute of the workman is not fit for adjudication to CGIT.

Even though the dismissal of services of the concerned workman was challenged on this ground that the Ministry of

Labour found that the dispute of the workman is not fit for adjudication to CGIT, the Hon’ble H.C. vide order dt. 21.7.15

was pleased to dismiss the writ petition and the concerned workman was directed to exhaust the remedy before the

tribunal. In this judgment, the Hon’ble H.C. of Judicature of Bombay was pleased to observe that the communication /

finding of the Ministry of Labour dt. 27.5.15 was bad in law. The workmen filed review petition No. 46 of 2015 in WP

No. 897 of 2015 for review of the said order dt. 21.7.15. However, the Hon’ble H.C. vide order dt. 7.10.15 was pleased

to dismiss the revision filed by the workman. It is in view of the order of the Hon’ble H.C. in WP No. 897 of 2015 the

Ministry of Labour by its reference order dt. 1.9.15 referred the dispute between the workman and the institute before

CGIT i.e. the present reference. It is in that circumstances the concerned workman cannot claim that there exists no

industrial dispute. As such the issue whether the person is a workman u/s. 2 (s) of the act or not has to be determined

after examination of the facts including oral evidence.

49.

The Learned Counsel for the management / institute in the context has relied upon the ratio in the decision in case

of Sharad Kumar V/S. Govt. of NCT of Delhi & Ors. – AIR – 2002 – SC 1724. In that case the appeal was filed by the

employee against the order of the Hon’ble High Court declining to interfere with the order of Govt. of National Capital

Territory of Delhi refusing to refer the dispute raised by the appellant to the Industrial Tribunal on the ground that he is

not a workman within the meaning of section 2 (s) of the act. Hon’ble Apex Court held that such a matter should be

decided by the Industrial Tribunal or Labour Court and the Hon’ble H.C. erred in confirming the order of rejection of

reference passed by the State Govt. merely taking note of the designation of the post held by the respondent.

Determination of these questions depends upon the types of duties assigned to or discharged by the employee and not

merely on the designation of the post held by him.

50.

On the facts of the present case I find that considering the duties of the concerned workman it can be said that he

falls within the definition of section 2 (s) of the act. As such this issue is answered accordingly in affirmative.

Issue Nos. 5 & 6

51. It is the case of the concerned workman that he was whistle blower and pointed out the financial irregularities in

the computer centre. But then acting Director ignored the complaints of the workman, as such the acting Director was

biased against him as the workman enquired into various aspects and therefore the Director in-charge developed bias

against the workman.

52.

So far this aspect is concerned, it is matter of record that the concerned workman filed complaint against the then

Director incharge of the Institute Mr. Amitabha De and the other officials under the provisions of SC & ST Prevention of

Atrocity Act on the basis of which Powai Police station lodged FIR No. 6/2013 against the then Director. The director of

the Institute filed WP No. 1399 / 2013 for quashing the FIR. By an order dt. 18.4.13 the Hon’ble H.C. of Judicature of

Bombay initially restrained the police from filing any report without the leave of court and thereafter by order dt.

10.10.13 came to the conclusion that no offence was disclosed and the petition was pending. As a matter of fact, it

appears that the workman filed WP No. 1370/2015 converted into WP No. 2868/2015 inter-alia against the Institute,

G.O.I. and CVC and advocate of the Institute. The concerned workman has also filed disciplinary case against the

advocate of the Institute before Bar Counsel of Maharashtra & Goa alleging professional misconduct by the advocate of

the Institute and Bar Counsel of Maharashtra & Goa was pleased to dismiss the complaint filed by the complainant. The

concerned workman has also filed WP No. 1813/2017 for recalling the order passed in the WP No. 897/2015 and seeking

reliefs similar to those claimed in WP No. 2555/2013 & WP No. 897/2015 but then the said writ petition was withdrawn.

PIL filed by the concerned workman was also dismissed by the Hon’ble H.C. of Bombay vide order dt. 4.12.17 and as

per observations of Hon’ble H.C. in para – 13 of the said PIL, it is clear the petitioner i.e. the concerned workman has

filed several prosecutions as well as civil cases not only against NITIE but also against its officials and the PIL came to

be dismissed on the findings that such issues raised in PIL hardly fall within the realm of PIL since proceedings are

pending. From the records, it appears that the concerned workman has filed complaint against the in-charge Director,

then filed writ petition before the Hon’ble H.C. against the Director and its officials and advocate concerned but then the

proceedings came to be dismissed by the Hon’ble H.C. on the ground that it does not fall within the realm of PIL.

53.

In this back ground, it is to be seen whether the disciplinary proceeding was initiated against the concerned

workman with pre-decided mind to harm and ultimately terminate the concerned workman from the services of first

4412

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

party. So far the charges leveled against the concerned workman are concerned, it is alleged that he indulged in grave

and serious acts of misconduct. The article of charges leveled against the concerned workman are in respect of written

communications made by him whereby he threatened the employees of the institute and made allegations against

Director in-charge, Registrar incharge, faculty members with a view to defame them in the eyes of others and attempted

to prevent them from discharging their duties. He then made false allegations against Dr. T. Pratap, Associate Professor

of financial irregularities. He unduly interfere with the working of the institute. He made false allegations against the

Dean Prof. Amitabha De. He attempted to bring undue pressure on the NITIE management. He attempted to tarnish the

image of institute. He made false allegations by letter dt. 21.12.12 and that he made undue interference in the

administration of the institute without any reason. He has created fear psychosis against the senior most responsible

officers. He forwarded communications directly to the Director incharge of the institute bypassing well settled procedure.

54.

The concerned workman was charge-sheeted vide charge sheet dt. 2.11.12 stating that he threatened his superior

officers orally as well as in writing to implicate them falsely without any justification under the provisions of SC & ST

Prevention of Atrocity Act. He in a process of his misdemeanor unauthorisedly and unofficially got hold of official

communications by improper, unjust and illegal means. He exhibited actions amounting to lack of integrity,

insubordination, lack of devotion to duty and attempted to malign the image of officers and institute. He files false

complaint before the Sr. Inspector police, Powai Police Station with a view to unduly put pressure on the management.

As a part of game plan, he had led morcha at the institute campus consisting of several outsiders, outside vehicles and

shouted slogans. He submitted PGDPIM of NIPM approved by CICTE for the position of Registrar. However, the said

diploma was distant education and as such he had hidden fact that the said programme is not approved by the Distant

Education Counsel.

55.

In respect of these allegations and the charges leveled against the concerned workman, enquiry was conducted.

The workman never appeared and participated either before the E.O. or before the competent authority. The enquiry was

conducted in accordance with the NITIE [CCA] Rules / Service Rules and the rules application to the employees of

Central Govt.

56.

At the first place, the concerned workman has come out a case that the disciplinary enquiry held against him is

vitiated due to non-compliance of principles of natural justice since E.O. has not issued notice to him. As per the

admission of E.O. Shri Lad, it is clear that he did not issue notice personally to the concerned workman in the capacity as

E.O. In this view the submission is that the concerned workman was not intimated about the date, place and time for

holding enquiry and as such admittedly the enquiry was ex-parte.

57.

In respect of this submission, it can be seen from the enquiry proceedings that on 16.11.12 the concerned workman

was informed about the date, place and time of the enquiry vide institute’s letter dt. 12.11.12. The letter was attempted to

be served by the staff of the institute on 12.11.12 but the employee’s wife refused to accept the letter and therefore it was

sent to the concerned workman by RPAD as well as by Speed post. Thereafter the concerned employee’s son

approached and received copy of said letter on 14.11.12 at 3.45 p.m. but even thereafter knowing fully well about the

date, time and place of the enquiry, the concerned workman did not attend the enquiry on 16.11.12. It appears that the

concerned workman / employee by his letter dt. 14.11.12 made the written request and on his written request the enquiry

was adjourned to 3.12.12 at 10.00 a.m. so that he could participate in the enquiry along with his defendant. Even

thereafter the enquiry was adjourned to 13.12.12 at 10.30 a.m. On 13.12.12 he was intimated about the date, time &

place but he did not remain present for the enquiry. 4 persons were sent at his official service quarter but they were not

allowed to meet the concerned workman and as such he refused to accept any of the official communications of the

institute. Obviously, it shows that by way of communications and through the staff of the institute the concerned

workman was informed about the date, time & place of the enquiry and at times the enquiry was adjourned on his

request. But then thereafter he did not participate in the enquiry. E.O. is not personally expected to communicate and

serve the notice to the concerned workman / employee. The fact remains that the concerned workman / employee was

intimated with the date, time & place of the enquiry vide letters and by the staff of the institute and therefore it cannot be

said that the enquiry is vitiated on account that concerned workman was not served the notice informing date, time &

place of the enquiry. Not only that, but it can be seen from the documents on record that the institute issued the

Memorandums dt. 24.9.12 and 2.11.12 and called for written explanation of the workman. Intimations were given to the

workman from time to time but the concerned workman refused to accept the official communications in this respect

forwarded to him by Speed post / RPAD or by courier and after examining all the aspects the E.O. proceeded with the

enquiry ex-parte.

58.

It is then contention of the second party workman that the management witness Mr. Amitabha De having

participated into the decision making process and the charge sheet issued by the management witness Mr. Amitabha De

not having approved by the competent authority namely Board of Governors, the enquiry is liable to be vitiated.

59.

In this respect, on going through the enquiry proceedings along with its exhibits, at Ex.129 [collectively], it can be

seen from the documents on record that the institute issued the Memorandums dt. 24.9.12 & 2.11.12 and called upon the

concerned workman for the written explanation. When the written explanations were not found satisfactory, disciplinary

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4413

enquiry was held. After the E.O. submitted the findings to the management of the institute, the workman submitted his

comments on the findings of the E.O. He also filed the appeal to the appellate authority. As such it can be seen that

institute authority followed the procedure and had taken due care in respect of action taken while complying with the

principles of natural justice. After taking the approval of the Board of Governors, Mr. Amitabha De signed the charge

sheet as Director incharge. That does not mean that he himself took the decision of issuing the charge sheet or otherwise

participated into decision making process.

60.

It is also a case of the concerned workman that the E.O. having been cited as management witness, he was partial

since he was paid in advance the fees to conduct the enquiry. Submission is to the effect that the E.O. admitted that he

got the fees paid by the first party in advance of Rs.50,000/- and that itself shows that the management appointed him as

a E.O. with some ulterior motive. This allegation is based on the list of E.Os. available for enquiry work at Ex. J, page

61 of statement of claim. If the said document is perused, it would show that CVO of NITIE mentioned the list of the

persons approved and then thereafter appointment letter was issued to the E.O. on 12.11.12. The said appointment letter

was issued and signed by the then Director incharge. That does not show in any way that the appointment of the E.O.

was out of way for any ulterior motive. Even the concerned workman cannot say from the papers and proceedings of

enquiry that the enquiry officer was biased against him. It cannot be said that only because the E.O. was cited as a

witness in this reference, it shows that he had bias.

61.

The Learned Counsel for the concerned workman seeks to rely on the decision in case of Ramesh Chandra V/S.

University of Delhi – 2015 (5) SCC – 549. In that case the E.O. was a retired Judge of the H.C. and the Presenting

Officer was a person who had sufficient experience. In view of that it has been held that the application of the delinquent

employee seeking permission to be represented through a legally trained and qualified lawyer should be allowed and the

denial of assistance of legal practitioner to the charged employee would be unfair. In the instant case no such application

was made by the concerned employee mentioning that he wanted to be represented by the legal practitioner. On the

contrary he preferred to remain absent inspite of notice served on him. As such the facts in the present case are quite

distinct & distinguishable.

62.

In the same breath, it can be said that only because the advocate acted as a P.O. and gave his advise as legal advisor

will not be ground to vitiate the proceedings. Only it is to be seen whether the principles of natural justice are followed

or not and as seen earlier, the enquiry process has been followed as stipulated in NITIE [CCA] Rules 1988 and NITIE

Rules 1988 while complying the principles of natural justice.

63.

It is not possible therefore to accept the contention of the concerned workman that he was not afforded an

opportunity of defending himself by taking the assistance of legal practitioner u/R 10 (8) (A) of NITIE Rules. As a

matter of fact, the concerned workman never informed in any of its communications during the pendency of the enquiry

that he wanted to avail the facility of getting defended by the legal practitioner. He never pleaded in any of its

communications that he wanted to be represented by the legal practitioner. Infact, it appears that the workman has only

written a letter dt. 14.11.12 Ex.P at page 123 of the statement of claim whereby he sought time to appoint assistant / next

friend to defend him in the enquiry. But then thereafter he wanted the enquiry proceedings to be adjourned on one or the

other grounds and particularly on medical ground. In that circumstances the burden is on the concerned workman to

prove that he was enable to attend the enquiry proceedings on medical grounds but then he failed to discharge the said

burden.

64.

Considering all these facts, I find that enquiry held against the second party workman is not vitiated due to non-

compliance of the principles of natural justice or in breach of principles of law. The above issues are therefore answered

accordingly as indicated against each of them.

Issue No. 4

65.

It is contention of the concerned workman that the enquiry is vitiated due to non-remittance of subsistence

allowance. On going through suspension order issued by the institute dt. 24.9.12, it is clear that in order to pay the

subsistence allowance to the workman, he was required to furnish monthly certificate to the A/cs. section to the effect

that he has not taken up any job during the month in question for money or otherwise and this certificate should be sent

to A/cs. section through Manager Computer Section every month.

66.

In this respect the concerned workman in his cross examination has admitted that he did not submit any such

certificates during the enquiry. The enquiry proceedings commenced on and from 6.11.12 and completed on 26.12.12.

When admittedly no such certificates were produced by the concerned workman, the institute was unable to remit the

subsistence allowance. When it was mandatory on the part of the workman to submit month to month non-employment

certificate, it appears that he did not produce such certificates and therefore he has no ground to say that due to non-

remittance of subsistence allowance enquiry is vitiated.

67.

Even then the Learned Counsel for the concerned workman submitted that admittedly during the enquiry the

subsistence allowance was not paid and therefore disciplinary proceedings are vitiated. In the context, he seeks to rely on

the decision in case of Ghanshyamdas Srivastava V/S. State of M.P. – 1973 (1) SCC – 656. In that case letter was

submitted wherein the petitioner had categorically refused to face proceedings as he had no capacity to do so because of

4414

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

acute shortage of funds and in the said letter sent to E.O., he mentioned that unless he was paid subsistence allowance, he

would not be able to face the enquiry proceedings. It was finding of fact that there was nothing to show that he has any

other source of income except pay. He did not receive the subsistence allowance after part of the evidence has already

recorded. In the circumstances, it was considered that the part of the enquiry proceedings during those days for which he

did not receive the subsistence allowance are vitiated.

68.

The facts in the present case are different because for getting the subsistence allowance it was mandatory on the

part of workman to submit non-employment certificate and non-submission of non-employment certificate would result

into non-payment of subsistence allowance. In this respect the reliance is placed on the decision in case of Surrendranath

Khuntia V/S. P.O. Industrial Tribunal & Ors. – MANU/OR/0567/2003 (Orissa H.C.) wherein it is held that furnishing of

certificate being the condition president to the grant of subsistence allowance and the same having been not done, the

grievance on that score cannot be made.

69.

As a matter of fact, it appears that thereafter institute had to pay subsistence allowance to the workman till 17.5.13

but then the fact remains that since the workman did not produce non-employment certificate, the subsistence allowance

was not paid and therefore the domestic enquiry held against him is not vitiated due to non-remittance of subsistence

allowance. This issue is therefore answered accordingly in the negative.

Issue No. 3

70.

At the cost of repetition, it can be stated that the workman was given fair & reasonable opportunity to defend

himself. I say so because at times though the workman has submitted sick note by obtaining medical certificate for

seeking adjournment of the enquiry proceedings, he has not adduced any cogent evidence that during that period he was

hospitalized. Medical certificate to which the concerned workman referred to of Dr. V.J. Moon dt. 3.10.12 is not proved

by adducing evidence. On the contrary it has been brought on record that during the period for which he was advised bed

rest as per the certificate of Dr. Moon, he went to Powai police station for lodging complaint during that period. It

cannot be accepted that no opportunity was afforded to him to take the assistance of legal practitioner and as a matter of

fact he even never informed by any communication during the pendency of the enquiry that he wanted to get defended by

legal practitioner.

71.

Considering all these facts, it can be said that the enquiry held against the concerned workman was fair & proper

and findings are not perverse.

72.

Now so far as, removal of the service of the second party workman from the employment of the first party

employer by way of punishment is concerned the legal position is amply clear.

73.

So far the legal position is concerned, the court would not interfere with the administrative decision unless it was

illegal or suffered from procedural impropriety or irrational in the sense it was outrageous, defiance of logic or moral

standards. It is held in the decision in case of DomohPannaSagar Rural Rational Bank &Ors V/S. Munnalal Jain

CA No. 8258 of 2004 [SC] that

“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 shorten litigations it may, in exceptional and rate

cases, impose appropriate punishment by recording cogent reasons in support thereof. In a 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 this respect hand can be laid on the decision in case of LIC of India &Ors. V/s. S. Vasanti, Civil Appeal No.

7717 of 2014 wherein Hon’ble Apex Court with reference to decision in case of LucknowKshetriyaGramin Bank

(Now Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh Gramin Bank) &Anr. V/S. Rajendra Singh (2013) 12 SCC 372 has held;

“a) when charge(s) of misconduct is proved in an enquiry, the quantum of punishment to be imposed in a

particular case is essentially the domain of the departmental authorities.

b)

The courts cannot assume the function of disciplinary / departmental authorities and to decide the quantum

of punishment and nature of penalty to be awarded, as this function is exclusively within the jurisdiction of

the competent authority.

c)

Limited judicial review is available to interfere with the punishment imposed by the disciplinary authority,

only in cases where such penalty is found to be shocking to the conscience of the court.

d)

Even in such a case when the punishment is set aside as shockingly disproportionate to the nature of charges

framed against the delinquent employee, the appropriate course of action is to remit the matter back to the

disciplinary authority or the appellate authority with direction to pass appropriate order of penalty. The

court by itself cannot mandate as to what should be the penalty in such a case.”

75.

In view of the above legal position, considering the gravity of charges and the scope of interference with the

punishment imposed by the disciplinary authority, I find that his termination from service is lawful and justified. This

answers issue No.3

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Surmatoria, Guwahati-781005 are justified in not paying their due wages and other benefits such as overtime,

bonus etc. as demanded by their workmen? If not, what relief the workmen entitled to and for what period? Dies

the law permit such lumps sum payment in lieu of payment/benefit the management is liable to pay to the

workmen under different labour laws? If so, what is the quantum and mode of disbursement of such lump sum

payment ?”

2.

On receipt of the reference from the appropriate Government, this reference case was registered and notices were

issued to the parties. On receipt of the notices both the parties appeared and submitted their written statements.

3.

The claim of the workmen was that they were employed by the Company M/S KMC Constructions Limited for the

works of National Highways Authority of India in widening and strengthening of the existing 2 lane National Highway to

4 lane from Nalbari to Bijni Section of EW corridor of Assam. Some of the workmen were skilled, some were semi-

skilled and others used to discharge clerical works. The duration of their engagement ranged from 5 to 10 years. But the

management of M/S KMC deliberately deprived them of their bonafide wages and other benefits. The management

used to pay a lump sum amount of money on monthly basis to the workmen by depositing the same to the respective

Bank accounts of the workmen at the end of each month. But no individual wage slips were issued to the workmen. It is

also stated that the workmen were denied the mandatory minimum bonus at the rate of 8.33% each year under the

Payment of Bonus Act,1965. It was also stated that the management even did not deposit the statutory P.F. in the name of

the individual workman. It is also stated that the workmen were made to work beyond scheduled time but no extra wages

were paid for such overtime works. The workers who rendered continuous service for a period of more than 5 years were

entitled to payment of Gratuity but the management did not pay the Gratuity after they were disengaged from their

services. It was also stated that the workmen were not extended the benefits of ESI Act,1948. It was also stated that after

the matter was referred to the Assistant Labour Commissioner(C), Guwahati efforts were made for conciliation but on

failure of conciliation, a “failure report” was sent by the Assistant Labour Commissioner (C), Guwahati to the

appropriate Government which referred this dispute to this Tribunal. The workmen demanded payment of full amount of

statutory dues in respect of Bonus, Gratuity, P.F. and extra wages for Overtime along with interest of 12% per annum

accrued from the date amount became due till full realization of the amount.

4.

The management side denied the claims made by the workmen and stated that wages due to the respective

employees were paid through their respective Bank accounts regularly which were acknowledged by the workmen. It

was also claimed by the management that all the dues of the workmen including P.F, Bonus, Gratuity etc were duly paid

to them in their respective bank accounts. It was mentioned by the management that a letter dated 29.03.2014 was issued

by the management to the opposite party stating the payment list from 2006 to 2013 which according to the management

was acknowledged by the claimant and the same was was annexed as Annexure-1,2, & 3 respectively. The management

also stated that payment of EPF had already been made to the concerned workmen and the allegation lodged by the

workmen are false. The management also stated that the workmen were not made to work beyond their regular working

hours and hence, the question of payment of overtime did not arise. On the aforesaid ground the management prayed

for dismissing the claim of the workmen.

5.

Only one witness Sri Bhupen Das was examined on behalf of the workmen. He also stated that he has been

authorized by other workmen to depose before this Tribunal. He exhibited his identity card and stated that similar cards

were issued to all the workers. In one part of his examination-in-chief he stated that the management Contractor used to

pay the workmen lump sum amount through their Bank Accounts against the work performed by the workmen instead of

bonafide wages and other benefits provided under the law. He further stated that all the workmen were entitled to

payment of Bonus as per the required provisions of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 but such bonus was not paid to

them. It was also stated that though the employees were covered under the Statutory Provision of EPF Act , such deposit

of P.F. were not made by the Contractor. It was also stated that benefits of the ESI Act were also not extended for which

they also incurred their own medical expenses. It was also stated that the management intentionally issued a no “dues

certificate” (Exhibit-5) before releasing the workmen from the work and such “no dues certificate” was completely

intentional and false. He further stated that all the concerned workmen worked with the Company for more than 5 years

and as such they were entitled for payment of Gratuity as per Gratuity Act but such Gratuity was not paid to them.

During cross-examination of the only workman witness it transpired that the claim had been made by the witness on

behalf of all the 21 other workmen who were engaged by the Company in the construction work of National Highway.

The witness also stated during cross that in the claim they demanded the wages due to them on account of overtime,

bonus and EPF. He, however, admitted that in case of 19 workers EPF Accounts were opened but in respect of 3 workers

such accounts were not opened. He also stated that the facility to subscribe to ESI hospital was also not extended to them.

He denied the suggestion of the management that the workers got their EPF and Gratuity. At this stage of cross-

examination the witness was shown zerox copy of certain documents which appeared to be acknowledgement of receipt

of payment of bonus, EPF and Gratuity but the workman stated that these are false documents and none of them ever put

their signatures on such document. It would be worthwhile to mention here that the remaining workmen did not

appear in this matter to fortify that they did not acknowledge receipt of payments made by the management. That apart,

the payments were admittedly made through bank accounts of respective workmen. At another stage of cross-

examination the witness stated as under:- “ It is a fact that by depositing into our account of SBI the Company along with

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4417

the wages towards March,2014 also paid Overtime wages for working on Sunday”. The above statement of the workman

witness would clearly show that the financial dues of the workmen were paid to them.

6.

After examining only one witness the workmen side closed their evidence and the matter was fixed for evidence

of the management side but despite several chances being given to the management they did not adduce any evidence.

During argument the workmen side, apart from oral argument, also submitted a memorandum of written argument. The

management side also submitted a written argument. On perusal of order 16.3.2018 it appeared that during proceeding

the workmen submitted a petition stating that after close of workmen evidence certain development had taken place in

respect of matter related to PF, Gratuity and the learned counsel for the workmen verbally submitted that certain payment

has been made on aforesaid 2 counts.

7.

The main issue in this reference is whether the management of the M/S KMC duly paid wages and other benefits to

the concerned workmen. Since the only material before this Tribunal was the testimony of the workman Bhupen Das and

documents exhibited therewith, let us closely scrutinize the evidence including the documents. During cross examination

the witness was confronted with copies of certain documents which on the face of it appeared to be acknowledgement of

receipts of payment including overtime, bonus, EPF and Gratuity. There was also no evidence by or on behalf of the

concerned workmen (except one who was examined as witness) that their legally receivable dues were not paid to them

by the management. During cross-examination the witness also stated as under:- “ It is a fact that by depositing into our

accounts in SBI the company along with the wages towards March, 2014 also paid overtime wages for working on

Sunday.” This is virtually an admission of receipt of payment of overtime for working on Sunday. There was no material

on record to show that apart from Sunday, the concerned workmen were made to work overtime on other week days. Ext-

4 was a certificate indicating that the workman Bhupen Das (witness) was engaged by the contractor from 1.1.2006 to

10.3.2014. In his cross-examination the witness admitted that the wages were paid upto March, 2014. “No-dues”

certificate issued by the management also indicated that at the time of his disengagement the concerned workman

Bhupen Das had no further dues payable to him. In respect of the remaining 21 workmen no plausible document was

proved by the workmen side to substantiate their claim. It also appeared from the materials on record that wages and

other entitlements, at the relevant time, were paid to the workmen through their bank accounts.

8.

In view of the above, it appeared that the management paid due wages and other benefits to the workmen. No

material was found during the proceeding to show that the management did not pay the concerned workmen their wages

and other benefits as were receivable by them. It therefore, appeared that the action of the management was neither

unjustified nor illegal and no further dues were payable to the workmen. The reference is, accordingly, answered with a

no relief Award.

Given under the hand and seal of this Tribunal on this 12th day of June, 2018 at Guwahati.

AWARD

By order No. L-42012/772006-IR(DU) dated 12.01.2007 the Central Government in the Ministry of Labour,

New Delhi in exercise of powers conferred by clause (d) of sub section (1) and sub section (2A) of Section 10 of the

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) referred this industrial dispute between Sri Vineet Kumar S/o Late Sri Chheda

Lal, Unnao and the Dy.Director, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, Lucknow for adjudication.

2.

The reference under adjudication is:

“WHETHER THE ACTION OF THE MANAGEMENT OF NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA SAMITI,

LUCKNOW/PRINCIPAL, NAVODAYA VIDYALAYA, UNNAO, IN TERMINATING THE SERVICES

OF THEIR WORKMAN SRI VINEET KUMAR W.E.F. 15.05.2002 IS LEGAL AND JUSTIFIED? IF

NOT, TO WHAT RELIEF THE WORKMAN IS ENTITLED TO?”

3.

The workman has stated in brief in the claim statement W-2 that he was initially appointed as Chowkidar in

opposite party school on 01.12.1997 against the clear vacancy with the monthly wages @ 525/- per month. The opposite

party is registered under the Societies Registration Act.,1860 and was administratively under the control of Dy.Director,

Navodaya Vidyalaya, Lucknow. The petitioner has asserted that his work and conduct has always been satisfactory and

upto the satisfaction of his superiors. His appointment was extended from time and it lasted for 4 and half years but

suddenly his services were orally terminated on 15.05.2002 by the Principal of the School without assigning any reason

and at the time of termination of service he was paid wages Rs.1000/- per month. The workman demanded the copy of

the termination notice or order from the Principal of the School, but he was informed that no written order has been

issued.

4.

The petitioner has further alleged that no notice or wages in lieu of notice period or retrenchment compensation

was paid. The impugned order is illegal and violative of the provisions contained in Section 25-F of the I.D. Act. He has

also moved representation on 11.02.2003 but no attention was paid to it. With the aforesaid pleadings the petitioner has

prayed for his reinstatement in service with full back wages. An affidavit has been filed in support of the claim statement

and certain documents as per list W-3 have also been filed.

5.

The management has filed written statement M-9 wherein allegations leveled in the claim statement have been

denied. The opposite party has submitted that provisions of CAT Act.1985 applies in the present case and the opposite

party is not an industry and the provisions of the I.D. Act. do not apply. The opposite party has further stressed that the

petitioner has not come with clean hands, he had earlier filed OA No. 127/2003 Vineet Kumar Vs. Union of India &

others before the CAT, Lucknow which was dismissed in default on 01.04.2003, restoration application moved by him

was also dismissed; workman again filed an application on 17.03.2004 which was dismissed for want of prosecution.

Again the workman moved recall application and the Hon’ble CAT observed that “ Application need not be recalled”

and opportunity was given on the request of the counsel for the workman to raise the grievance at the appropriate forum.

Thereafter the workman moved before RLC ( C ), Lucknow and erroneous procedure was adopted which is bad in law.

6.

The opposite party has emphasized that for the purpose of good quality modern education including a strong

component of culture, values, environment awareness and physical education etc. Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti had

established Vidyalayas in the name and style “Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya” and for effective management besides

teaching staff, class –III & IV employees are also required as per necessity and work as per rules. The opposite party has

admitted that due to exigency of work the petitioner was engaged as daily wages in the Mess of JNV, Unnao for specific

period, as mess helper he was paid till completion of the said work, he was further engaged as daily wager Mess Helper

as per requirement but at no stretch of occasions he had worked continuously for 240 days and as per directions of

Hon’ble Supreme Court Section 25F of the I.D. Act. are not attracted even if the workman has completed 240 days or

more.

7.

The management has stressed that there being no requirement of work in Mess, his time bound engagement

automatically came to an end and accordingly he was paid off and there was no violation of any provision of I.D. Act.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

4419

Documents filed by the petitioner are concocted and manufactured and have been denied by the opposite party. With the

aforesaid pleadings the opposite party has stated that the reference dated 12.01.2007 is bad in law. Several documents

have been annexed alongwith written statement. An affidavit of Incharge Principal has been filed as A-10.

8.

With the strong denial of the facts mentioned in the written statement the workman reiterated the pleas taken in

the claim statement, rejoinder W-12 has been filed by the petitioner alongwith affidavit.

9.

Application for summoning documents has been moved as W-23 with its objection M-27. Summoning documents

application has been disposed off on 28.09.2012..

10.

The petitioner workman has bee cross examined on behalf of the opposite party. Other witness namely

Sri Bhupender Kumar, Smt. Nisha have also been adduced in evidence by the petitioner, and have been cross examined.

11.

The management has file affidavit M-37 of Sri Rajendra Kasal, he has been cross examined on behalf of the

workman.

12.

Arguments of both the parties have been heard. Record has been scanned thoroughly.

13.

Heard learned authorized representatives of the parties at length and perused the records available on file.

14.

The workman has come up with a case that he had initially been appointed as Chowkidar in Jawahar Navoday

Vidyalaya, Rajeevpuram, Unnao w.e.f. 01.12.1997 and was paid monthly @ Rs. 525/- per month and he worked as such,

continuously, without any break, till 15.05.2002 when his services had been terminated orally by the Principal of the

school without assigning any reason thereof or without giving any notice or notice pay in lieu thereof, in utter violation

of provisions of Section 25 F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Further, the workman has submitted that he is a

‘workman’ as provided in the Section 2 ‘s’ of the Act and further that the Navodaya Vidhayala Samiti is an industry,

under Section 2 ‘j’ of the Act, as it is not performing any sovereign function and further more that the present industrial

dispute is an ‘industrial dispute’ as provided in Section 2 ‘k’ of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

15.

Per contra, the case of the management is that the workman, had been engaged as daily wage labourer, due to

exigency of work as per necessity, for a specified period, without following the norms of the Recruitment Rules etc. The

management has also submitted that the workman never completed 240 days of working; and accordingly, the provisions

of Section 25 F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 does not attract in the present case. Apart from this the management

has also raised preliminary objection towards he maintainability of the present case on the grounds that the Navodaya

Vidhayala Samiti is not an industry and secondly that the present case does not constitute an industrial dispute.

16.

Having been given my thoughtful consideration to the rival contentions of the learned authorized representatives

of the parties and perusal of entire documentary as well as oral evidence relied upon by the parties, it would be proper

and just to dispose of the preliminary objection taken by the opposite party over the admissibility of the present case.

17.

Firstly, the management has submitted that the Navodaya Vidhayala Samiti is not an ‘industry’ within the

definition of ‘industry’ under Section 2 ‘j’ of the Act. In this regard, On contrary, the authorized representative of the

workman has contended that ‘no profit and no loss’ basis cannot exclude the Navodaya Vidhyalay Samiti from the

purview of ‘industry’ and the same is not performing any sovereign function. He has relied on Union of India vs

Rajendra Kumar & others 2004 (103) FLR 307 and Bangalore Water Supply case.

Hon’ble Axex Court in Bangalore Water Supply case has observed that:

“absence of profit motive on gainful objective is irrelevant, be the venture in the public, joint, private or other

sector.”

Hon’ble Apex Court has further observed that

“Where (i) systematic activity (ii) organized by co-operation between employer and employee (the direct and

substantial element is commercial (iii) for the production and/or distribution of goods and services calculated

to satisfy human wants and wishes (not spiritual or religions but inclusive of material things or services geared

to celestial bliss i.e. making on a large scale Prasad or food) prima facie, there is an industry in that

enterprise.”

In the instant case the opposite party management has come with specific pleading that that the opposite party,

Navodaya Vidhyalay Samiti is a creation of Statutory Organization owned and controlled by the Ministry of Human

Recourse, Government of India and the activities of the Navodaya Vidhyalay Samiti is not relating to any trade, business

or manufacturing process instead are of the Government relatable to sovereign functions of the Government.

It is well known that the Jawahar Navodaya Vidhyalay is indulged in imparting education to the meritorious

students who belong to economically weaker sections of the society and cannot afford to have good education. No doubt

that it is not a business or profit making activity; but a welfare measure of the Government of India, being India a

Welfare State. The activity in which the Navodaya Vidhyalay Samiti is indulge is very much the same as preformed by

other schools across the country and hence cannot be termed as sovereign function only for the fact that it is controlled

4420

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

by the one of the Ministry of the Government of India. Here this is a social measure for upliftment of the society at large

and is controlled by the Ministry of Human Resource. Also, it is noteworthy to indicate that the nature of work carried

out by Navodaya Vidhyalay Samiti qualifies the triple test, formulated by Hon’ble Apex Court in Bangalore Water

Supply case.

Thus, in view of facts and circumstances of the case and above legal prepositions, I am of the opinion that

Navodaya Vidhyalay Samiti is at par with the other schools in country, which are covered under Industrial Dispute; and

accordingly, come to the conclusion that the opposite party is an ‘industry’ within the provisions of Section 2 (j) of the

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 so far as running/administration of welfare activities is concerned through Navodaya

Vidhyalay Samiti.

18.

Secondly, the opposite party has come up with case that there exists no ‘industrial dispute’ in the present case;

whereas the workman has vehemently opposed the same.

In this regard, the Section 2 A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 reads as under:

2A. Dismissal, etc., of an individual workman to be deemed to be an industrial dispute. – (1) Where any employer

discharges, dismisses, retrenches or otherwise terminates the services of an 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 workman

nor any union of workmen is a party to the dispute.

In the instant case, the services of the workman had, allegedly, been terminated by the management and a bare

perusal of the above quoted provision it becomes crystal clear that the present case is an industrial dispute.

19.

Admittedly no appointment letter was issued to the workman and he was engaged by the management as a daily

wager. The workman in his pleadings and evidence has come up with the case that he worked continuously from

01.12.1997 to 15.05.2002 and his services have been terminated w.e.f. 15.05.2002 and in order to substantiate his

pleadings he has filed photocopy of attendance sheet for August, 99 and certain office orders, entrusting duty upon the

workman.

In order to sustain his pleadings of continuous working w.e.f. 01.12.1997 to 15.05.2002 the workman has moved

an application, W-24 for summoning documents from the management, duly supported with an affidavit; wherein the

workman sought directions from this Tribunal for the management to produce the original records relating to him,

including the Duty Registers of Group ‘D’ employees, Monthly Pay Voucher Sheets of the daily wages employee and

Gate Entry Registers of the school for the period from 01.12.1997 to 15.05.2002. In rebuttal, the management filed its

objection, M-27, duly supported with an affidavit of Rajendera Ram Chandra Kasar, Principal of Jawahar Navodaya

Vidhyalay (who was later produced by the management as management witness); wherein Para 6 of the objection, it had

been denied that the workman never worked for 240 days in a year and the documents summoned by the workman like

Duty Register, Gate Entry Register of School and Monthly Pay Vouchers Sheets from 01.12.1997 to 15.05.2002 by

efflux of time having been rendered redundant are not traceable and cannot be produced.

This Tribunal after hearing the learned authorized representatives of the parties, passed a detailed order dated

25.09.2012, which is quoted hereunder:

“Heard parties and perused application for summoning the documents and objections thereof.

The workman by the way of his application for summoning documents has tried to summon certain

documents, which are in power and possession of the opposite party, to corroborate his claim that he worked

with the opposite party w.e.f. 01.12.1997 to 15.05.2002. He has relied on Director, Fisheries Terminal Division

vs. Bhikubhai Meghajibhai Chavda 2010 AIR SCW 542; wherein Hon’ble Gujrat High Court has observed

that for proving 240 days’ continuous working, the workman would have difficulty in having access to all

official documents, muster roll etc., in connection with his service, therefore, the burden of proof shifts to the

employer to prove that he did not complete 240 days of service in requisite period to constitute continuous

service.

Further, the submission of the management that the documents summoned by h workman, by efflux of time have

been rendered redundant are not traceable and cannot be produced seems to be irresponsible in the light of the

fact that the workman had been terminated on 15.05.2002 and the matter was referred for adjudication in year

2007, therefore, the management was supposed to keep intact the documents pertaining to the workman to pursue

their case.

However, in view of non-submission of the documents summoned, appropriate inference shall be drawn at

appropriate stage.”

20.

Apart from giving his own evidence, the workman produced two other witnesses, who were former students of

Jawahar Navodaya Vidhayalay, Unnao, viz. Sri Bhupendra Kumar and Ms.Nisha Devi. Sri Bhupendra Kumar in his

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4421

statement, given on oath, has stated that he studied in the school from standard VI to XII. He was in class VI in the year

1999 and he saw the workman, Vineet Kumar, working in the school. He further stated that he saw the workman

working in the school upto 2002. He also stated in his cross-examination that the workman used to do night duty. He

never saw workman working in day. He stated that the workman used to look after the school premises at night and there

was no other than the workman to take care of the school at night. The other witness, viz. Ms. Nisha Devi, stated in her

cross-examination that she studied from Class VI to VIII, in year 1999 to 2002. She stated that when she used to come

back from tutorial classes at 9-10 PM, she used to see the workman doing watch and ward service in the school campus.

She also stated that she used to go for tutorial every day and used to see the workman each day. She also stated that apart

from workman some other persons viz. Sri Amar Nath, Radhey Lal, Amit, Phoolmati, Sarvesh, Jogendera etc. also used

to work in the school.

In rebuttal, the management examined, Sri Rajendra Kasar, Principal of Jawahar Navodaya Vidhayalay , Unnao

who stated that the workman had been engaged as daily wager, intermittently and never completed 240 days in a year,

hence the provisions of Section 25 F of the Act do not attract in his case. The management witness in Para 11 of his

affidavit has given details of working of the workman, which is as under:

“The claimant has been engaged on daily wages basis intermittently due to exigencies of work during the year

1997 (December only) 1998 (January to April, August and December only), 1999 (January to March and

October to December only), 2000 (January, March, April, August, September and November, December), 2001

(January, March, April, August, September and December only) and 2002 (January to 15th May, 2002)”

During cross-examination, when the management witness was questioned about the source of details of working

days given by him in Para 11 of his affidavit, he stated that the details of working given by him is based upon the

documents. He further stated that the statement made in Para 10 and 11 of his affidavit is based on the vouchers and

payment record. However, he stated that the documents on the basis of which the statement in Para 10 and 11 of his

affidavit are made, are filed with this Tribunal or not, he does not know.

21.

Having regard to the statements made by the Sri Rajendra Kasar, Principal, Jawahar Navodaya Vidhyalay,

Unnao, given by him in objection to the summoning application by the workman, M-27; wherein Para 6 of the same he

stated that the documents summoned by the workman like Duty Register, Gate Entry Register of School and Monthly

Pay Vouchers Sheets from 01.12.1997 to 15.05.2002 by efflux of time having been rendered redundant are not traceable

and cannot be produced; but on the contrary in his statement given in his affidavit, filed in support of pleadings, M-37, he

has very specifically given details of workings of the workman in Para 11 of the affidavit and during his cross-

examination he stated that the details of working given by him is based on the documents i.e. vouchers and payment

record.

This goes to show that the management of the Jawahar Navodaya Vidhyalay did not come with clean hand before

this Tribunal and tried to conceal the documents and fact just in order to deprive the workman of his legitimate rights or

make him unsuccessful in proving his pleading of 240 days of working. Furthermore, the management has also taken

plea that the Class III & IV employees are employed as per Recruitment Rules; but failed to file any such Rules before

this Tribunal. Hence, in view of facts and circumstances of the case and discussions made herein above as well as in

order dated 25.09.2012, there is sufficient ground to draw an adverse inference against the management for non-

production of the documents, summoned by the workman, and rely on the pleadings, documents filed and evidence

adduced by the workman, particularly evidence of two former students of Jawahar Navodaya Vidhyalay, Unao, in

support of his claim.

22.

Hon’ble Gujrat High Court in Director, Fisheries Terminal Division vs. Bhakubhai Meghajibhai Chavda 2010

AIR SCW 542; has observed that for proving 240 days’ continuous working, the workman would have difficulty in

having access to all official documents, muster rolls etc., in connection with his service, therefore, the burden of proof

shifts to the employer to prove that he did not complete 240 days of service in requisite period to constitute continuous

service. The management has failed to discharge the burden of proof; and there is sufficient evidence to show that the

workman worked continuously from 01.12.1997 to 15.05.2002 and worked 240 days in preceding twelve months from

the date of his termination; and his services have been terminated, illegally, by the management in utter violation of the

provisions of Section 25 F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

23.

Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in State of U.P. vs. Mahendra Pal Singh & another 2012 (2) ALJ 325 while

scrutinizing the validity of the award of the Labour Court found that the findings of the Labour Court were not perverse;

wherein the Labour Court drawn out a finding that the workman had continuously worked for more than 240 days in

calendar months prior to termination of his services; and the termination of services was without any notice and without

payment of retrenchment compensation; and accordingly, Hon’ble High Court held that the relief of reinstatement with

60% of back wages, awarded by the Labour Court was justified. Hon’ble High Court in para 47-50 of its judgment, has

referred decision of Hon’ble Apex Court in Krishan Singh Vs. Executive Engineer, Haryana State Agricultural

Marketing Board, Rohtak (Hayana) (2010) 3 SCC 637: (AIR 2010 SC (Supp) 787 as under:

4422

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

“47.

........….. the appellant worked as a daily wager under the respondent from 1.6.1988. His services

were terminated in December, 1993. He served a notice of demand dated 3012.1997 on the respondent

contended that his services were terminated orally without complying with the mandatory provisions of Section

25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) and that he may be reinstated in

service with full back wages from the date of illegal termination and he may be regularized according o the

Government policy. The respondent did not respond to the demand made by the appellant and by and order

dated 23.7.1999, the State Government referred the dispute under Section 10 of the Act to the Labour Court.

Thereupon the Labour Court passed the award dated 18.7.2006 holding that the appellant had admittedly

completed 267 days from 1.6.1988 to 30th April, 1989 and his services were terminated without any notice or

notice pay and without payment of retrenchment compensation and the termination was, therefore, in violation

of Section 25-F of the Act and the appellant was entitled to be reinstated in his previous post with continuity of

service and 50% back wages from the date of demand notice i.e. 30.12.1997.

48.

The respondent challenged the award of the Labour Court before the High Court of Punjab and

Haryana, in writ petition and by order dated 9.12.2008, High Court allowed the said writ petition and set aside

the award dated 18.7.2006 of the Labour Court and directed the respondent instead to pay compensation of Rs.

50,000/- to the appellant. Aggrieved by order dated 9.12.2008 of the High Court, the appellant filed appeal

before the Apex Court. By placing reliance upon earlier decision rendered by the Apex Court in the case of

Harjinder Singh (supra),l allowed the appeal and set aside the impugned order dated 9.12.2008 passed by the

High Court and directed that the appellant will be reinstated as a daily wager with 50% back wages forthwith.

49.

While dealing with the question of discretionary powers of the Labour Court, in para 17 of the

decision, Hon’ble Apex Court has observed as under:

“17. Wide discretion is, therefore, vested in the Labour Court while adjudicating an industrial dispute

relating to the discharge or dismissal of a workman and if the Labour Court has exercised its jurisdiction

in the facts and circumstances of the case to direct reinstatement of a workman with 50% back wages

taking into consideration the pleadings of the parties and the evidence on record, the High Court in

exercise of its power under Articles 226 and 227 of the Constitution of India will not interfere with the

same, except on well settled principles laid down by this Court for a writ of certiorari against an order

passed by a court or a tribunal.”

50.

In the said case while drawing distinction between the cases of this nature and State of Karnataka

vs. Umadevi (2006) 4 SCC 1: (AIR 2006 SC 1806 SC 1806) in para 22 of the said decision Hon’ble Apex Court

held as under:

22.

The decision of this Court in State of Karnataka v. Umadevi (3) cited by the counsel for the

respondent relates to regularization in public employment and has no relevance to an award for

reinstatement of a discharged workman passed by the Labour Court under Section 11-A of the Act without

any direction for regularization of his services.”

24.

Thus, in view of the facts and circumstances of the case, discussions made hereinabove and law relied on, it is

established that the workman, Vineet Kumar, who was engaged as daily wager by the management of Jawahar Navodaya

Vidhyalay, Unnao had worked for more than 240 days in a year preceding the date of his termination and his services

have been illegally termination on 15.05.2002 by the management of the Jawahar Navodaya Vidhyalay, Unnao without

following the mandatory provisions of the Section 25 F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Therefore, I am of the

considered opinion that the workman, Vineet Kumar is entitled for reinstatement with continuity in service along with

60% of back wages within ten weeks of publication of the award, failing which; the back wages shall carry simple

interest @ 6% per annum.

25.

The reference is answered accordingly.

Summary of the Facts stated in the Claim Statement submitted by the workmen.:- The concerned workmen

by filing O.A.No.83/11 approached the Central Administrative Tribunal, Guwahati claiming conferment of temporary

status on them. Vide order dated 03.05.2011 learned Central Administrative Tribunal, Guwahati disposed of the matter

with a direction to the Chairman, Brahmaputra Board to dispose of the petition of the workmen after hearing them.

Ultimately, on 29.04.2013 Secretary of Brahmaputra Board passed an order directing the Superintending Engineer,

Nalbari Circle to disengage the workmen. The workmen again approached the learned Central Administrative Tribunal,

Guwhati by filing O.A. No.143/2013. Initially the order of disengagement was stayed by the learned Tribunal and

application filed by the Brahmaputra Board for modification of the interim order by contending that the workmen were

contract labourers was also rejected. However, ultimately the aforesaid O.A. was finally dismissed vide order dated

06.02.2014 on the ground that the workmen were contract labourers and not entitled for temporary status. The learned

Tribunal also declined to interfere with the order of disengagement of the workmen. Pursuant to the order of the learned

Tribunal workmen were disengaged on 19.02.2014. Challenging the order of learned Tribunal two Writ Petitions being

No. W.P (C) No.1958/2014 and W.P.(C) 1490/2014 were filed before the Hon’ble Gauhati High Court. Vide order dated

adjudication by the Central Government Industrial Tribunal, Guwahati on the following issues:

4424

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

(i)Whether the petitioners are in the employment of the Respondent-Board and if so, from which date and with

what status (temporary or any other one)?

(ii) In case, if it is held that the petitioners were/are in the employment of the Respondent-Board, may be in any

capacity, then what relief(s) petitioners are entitled to claim from the Respondent?

It was in the aforesaid factual background this reference was made by the appropriate Government. The workmen

went on to narrate their case in their claim statement. According to them the workmen were employed as casual workers

to perform manual works in the Pagladiya Dam Division-II, Nalbari under the Brahmaputra Board. Names of the 25

workmen (casual workers) who filed the aforesaid Writ Petitions were mentioned in the claim statement along with their

respective dates of engagement. The workmen at one point of time approached the authorities of Brahmaputra Board to

grant temporary status and to regularize their services extending the benefit of O.M. 10.09.1993 issued by the

Government of India wherein it was laid down that temporary status will be conferred to all the casual workers who were

in the employment on the date of issue of OM and who have rendered continuous service for at least one year. The

Brahmaputra Board, in order to settle the issue of conferment of temporary status, constituted a Committee consisting of

4 Officers of the Board vide Notification dated 14.06.2010. The aforesaid Committee held its meeting on 21.06.2010,

24.06.2010, 27.07.2010, 29.07.2010 and on 02.08.2010 and submitted its report on 04.08.2010. In the aforesaid report

the Committee opined that Brahmaputra Board may consider conferment of temporary status to the workers who had

rendered their service to the Board. The Committee also prepared a list of workers division-wise for conferment of

temporary status. The Committee in its report mentioned that during the course of survey and investigation work taken

up by the Board, since its inception in 1982, casual workers from the local area were engaged because survey and

investigation were done in remote areas and in such a situation engagement of local persons were very helpful in regard

to proper communication with the local people as well as the accommodation. In its meeting held on 29.07.2010 the

following facts emerged:

1.

Though presently no any casual worker is working directly under Board however they are doing the same

job through labour contractors after discontinuation of engagement of casual workers.

2.

The Board had introduced labour contract starting from the year 2005 and engaged all the casual workers

who were working till then in Brahmaputra Board as contract labourers.

4.

All the casual workers had rendered their continuous service for more than 1 year because they had been engaged

for a period of at least 240 days in a year prior to their disengagement as casual workers under Brahmaputra Board.

According to the workmen it clearly transpired from the report of the aforesaid Committee that the concerned workers

were initially engaged as casual workers but subsequently they were shown to have been engaged as contract labourers.

The Division wise list prepared in the meeting held on 02.08.2010 contained the names of the concerned workmen as

workers working in Pagladiya Dam Division-II , as under:

Sl. No.

Name of the existing labours

Period of engagement as muster roll

According to the workmen it was therefore evident from the report of the Committee that the concerned workmen

were under the employment of the Brahmaputra Board. A meeting of the high Officials of the Board was held on

31.08.2010 to discuss the proposal for conferment of temporary status as opined by the Committee. In that meeting it was

decided that conferment of temporary status to the casual workers as per eligibility from the list submitted by the

Committee would be considered subject to ratification by the next Board meeting. A copy of the minutes of the aforesaid

meeting was annexed along with the claim application as Annexure-3. The recommendation of the Committee in regard

to grant of temporary status to the casual workers along with the decision of the meeting held on 31.8.2010 was placed

before the 52nd meeting of the Brahmaputra Board held on 22.11.2010 but nothing was done to confer temporary status to

the workmen. Ultimately the concerned workmen were not conferred with temporary status despite the recommendation

of the Committee. While the workmen were expecting conferment of temporary status, the Secretary of Brahmaputra

Board passed an order on 29.04.2013 whereby the Superintending Engineer, Nalbari Circle, Brahmaputra Board, Nalbari

was directed to disengage the workmen along with the present workmen. This was challenged before the CAT, Guwahati

but no relief could be obtained by the workmen. Writ petitions as mentioned earlier were submitted before the Hon’ble

High Court and pursuant to the direction passed in the aforesaid Writ Petitions this reference was made by the

appropriate Government. It was specifically stated by the workmen in their claim statement that the facts of this case

would show that they were initially appointed as casual workers but subsequently they were shown as contract labourers.

According to them subsequent engagement as contract labourers was nothing but a paper arrangement and hence all the

workmen involved in this case are to be considered as employee of the Brahmaputra Board. The workmen prayed for an

Award holding them directly under the employment of Brahmaputra Board and that they are entitled to pay scale as that

of regular employees.

5.

Summary of the facts mentioned in the written statement filed by the management side:- The management

in it’s written statement averred that the work for which the workmen were engaged by the Brahmaputra Board was of

temporary nature and all the applicants were contract labourers engaged through qualified labour contractors. According

to the management concerned contractors were thus absolute employer of such contract labourers and Brahmaputra

Board used to pay the bills raised by the concerned contractors for the wages of the contract labourers. It was further

stated that the very purpose of engagement of this laboures ceased exist from 1st June, 2013 and therefore Brahmaputra

Board could not continue their engagement through the contractor as no work was there. It was also stated that

engagement of casual/muster roll workers ceased to exist with effect from 07.06.1988 in all establishments of the Central

Government though Brahmaputra Board started to follow this Policy from June, 2005 and accordingly from July,2005 all

the Divisional Offices of the Brahmaputra Board started to engage contract labourers for Unskilled, Skilled and Semi-

skilled works. The management has also submitted a list of 25 workmen showing their period of engagement as muster

roll as well as the period of engagement as contract labourers. It was also stated that the concerned workers do not fulfill

the eligibility criteria required as per DOPT O.M dated 10.09.1993. It was also stated that the Board examined the matter

of conferment of temporary status to these muster roll contractual labourer and after examining the whole matter offered

temporary status to 8 numbers of erstwhile casual labourers who fulfill the criteria mentioned in O.M. dated 10.09.1993.

It was also stated that as per decision in the 56th Board Meeting dated 22.3.2013 land acquired by the Brahmaputra Board

for construction of Pagladia Dam Project was handed over to the Government of Assam through Water Resource

Department vide letter dated 15.05.2013 due to failure of the Project. It was further stated that engagement of the

concerned workmen were basically made for watch and ward duty of this 956 hectors of land as stated in the engagement

order. Hence, the very purpose of their engagement ceased to exist from 01.06.2013 and therefore, Brahmaputra Board

4426

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

could not continue with their engagement through the contractors as there was no work. The management side prayed for

answering the reference in negative.

exhibited the documents (Exhibit-1 to 11) which were earlier exhibited by W.W.1. He denied the suggestion of the

23.

The remaining 7 workmen witnesses also similarly deposed and stated that initially they were engaged by

Brahmaputra Board as casual employees and subsequently from August,2005 they were shown as contract labourers

through some mere paper arrangement. All of them denied the defence suggestion that since they were engaged as

labourers through contractors they were not entitled to claim regularization in service.

24.

If we sum up the entire evidence of the workmen side it would transpire that their initial appointments were as

casual employee directly under the principal employer and subsequently they were converted as contract labourer from

August, 2005. The aforesaid fact was not denied by the management. The management also admitted that though

engagement of casual employees directly by any central Government Organisation was discontinued far long back, the

Brahmaputra Board started to discontinue direct employment of casual employees from August,2005.

25.

Management side examined one witness namely Sri Atul Sarma, who was, at the time of deposing before this

Tribunal, was working as Executive Engineer, Nalbari Division, Brahmaputra Board. He was duly authorized by the

Brahmaputra Board to submit the examination-in-chief in-Affidavit and to render himself for cross-examination by the

workmen side. In his statement there is clear admission that all the concerned workmen were initially engaged as casual

employees directly by the Brahmaputra Board but from 2005 they were engaged through contractors. From his evidence

also it clearly transpired that upto August,2005 the workmen were casual workers/master Roll workers directly under the

Brahmaputra Board and subsequently they were engaged in Brahmaputra Board as contract labourers. He however,

clearly stated that the work for which the workmen were engaged in Brahmaputra Board was of temporary nature and

since the particular work ceased to exist from 1st June, 2013 the management could not continue with their engagement

4428

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

through contractors. Most of the subsequent facts including setting up of a Committee to consider granting of temporary

status to the workmen were admitted by him. During cross-examination he admitted constitution of a Committee by the

Board for considering giving of temporary status to the workmen. He also admitted that the Committee submitted the

report on 04.08.2010 and the recommendation contained a list of casual workers under Brahmaputra Board and

recommended for conferring temporary status. He further stated that list contained names of 118 workers which included

the names of the workers concerned in the present reference. He clearly admitted that there were recommendation of the

Committee for conferring temporary status upon the concerned workers. He also stated that ultimately the Board did not

confer the temporary status on them. He however admitted that 8 persons, who were not part of the workmen involved in

this reference, were however, given temporary status by the Board. To a question put by the learned Sr. Counsel for the

workmen he replied that he could not show whether those 8 persons were engaged through contractors or not.

26.

During argument the learned Sr. Counsel appearing for the workmen submitted that the so called engagement of

the workmen since August,2005 as contract labourers was a mere paper arrangement and hence, the contract itself was

sham. He further submitted that the contract through which the labourers were engaged by the principal employer was

clearly a sham contract or mere paper arrangement and hence the concerned workmen are to be considered workmen

directly under the principal employer. He also stated that since the concerned workmen were appointed directly under the

principal employer their discontinuation of service would have to be considered and decided as per the Provision

contained in Section 25G & 25H of the I.D. Act, 1947. He also pointed out that though the management had taken a plea

that the concerned Pagladia Dam Project was closed and hence there was no scope for continuing with the employment

of the concerned workmen, the facts of the record would show that on the day of the closure of Pagladia Dam Division

i.e. 1st June, 2013 none of the concerned workmen were working in that project. In fact all of them were already

transferred under Nalbari Sub-division in the year 2012 itself and hence closure of Pagladia Dam Project could not be a

ground to do away with the services of the workmen. He prayed for an Award declaring that the disengagement of the

workmen were ab initio void and that they are entitled to reinstatement with back wages.

27.

Learned Counsel appearing for the management side submitted that the work for which the concerned workmen

were initially engaged as casual/master roll was purely of temporary nature and when the work itself ceased to exist there

could not be a way to continue with their engagement. Management side has prayed for answering the reference in the

negative.

28.

From the evidence adduced in this matter it is clear that the workmen were originally engaged as casual workers

directly by the management and subsequently from August, 2005 they were engaged through labour contractors. It is also

clear that even as contract labourers the same set of workmen continued to work. This very fact categorically indicates

that the engagement of the workmen subsequently through labour contractors was merely a paper arrangement. The

natural consequence of this would be that the workmen are to be held as casual workers directly under the employment of

the principal employer, that is, Brahmaputra Board. It is therefore, held that at the time of their disengagement the

workmen were casual workers under the Board. The management side could not even prima-facie prove that the work

done by the concerned workmen was not of perennial nature. The workmen were, admittedly, working for Brahmaputra

Board continuously for more than 12 years till they were disengaged. Admittedly, the concerned workmen were

discontinued from their engagement by Bramhaputra Board vide order dated 29.4.2013. Till that date the concerned

workmen were working for Brahmaputra Board as casual/master roll workers. Work Man Witness No.1, during his

evidence stated that Brahmaputra Board vide order dated 3.2.2012 temporarily closed the Pagladiya Sub-Division No.I,

Rangiya and brought him and other workers under Nalbari Sub-Division and subsequently vide Office order

29.04.2013 all of them were disengaged. This fact remained un-rebutted. It was, therefore, clear that plea of the

management that closure of Pagladiya Dam Sub-division was the reason of the concerned workmen’s disengagement is

not acceptable in as much as during their disengagement the workmen were not working in Pagladiya Dam Sub-division.

It is further clear from the evidence that the concerned workmen were in the employment of Brahmaputra Board for last

more than 12 years from the date of their respective engagement till disengagement. They worked for the Board for more

than 240 days in each calendar year. At the time of disengagement the workmen were under Nalbari Sub-division. The

management of the Board appeared to have disengaged the concerned workmen involved in this reference without

following due procedure. The concerned workmen are therefore entitled to be re-instated as casual workers under

Brahmaputra Board. However, instead of back-wages the workmen should be granted a lump-sum compensation.

29.

In view of the above, this reference is disposed of with the following award. The management of Brahmaputra

Board is directed to re-instate the workmen involved in this reference in the capacity of casual workers on same wages

was applicable to them at the time of their disengagement. Such re-instatement shall be done by the management within

60 days from the date of receipt of the copy of this Award. The management of Brahmaputra Board is further directed to

pay lump-sum compensation of Rs.50000/- (Rupees Fifty thousand only) each to all the workmen involved in this

reference within 90 days from the receipt of the copy of the award in-lieu of back-wages. Accordingly, the reference is

disposed of with the aforesaid Award.

Given under the hand and seal of this Tribunal on this 20th day of March, 2018 at Guwahati.

The State Executive Committee Member,

U.P. Bank Workers’ Organization

The Chairman,

AWARD

1.

Central Govt. Mol, New Delhi, vide notification No. L-12011/33/2012-IR (B-1) dated 15.10.12, has referred the

following dispute for adjudication to this tribunal.

2.

Whether the action of the management in applying Regional Rural Banks (Appointment and Promotion of

Officers and other Employees) Rules 1998 instead of Regional Rural Bank’s (Appointment & Promotion of

Officers and Employees) Rules 2010 for the promotion for which notification was issued on 10.02.11 is legal and

justified? To what relief the Union is entitled?

3.

In short the case set up by the union is that the management in supersession of earlier rules regarding

Appointment and Promotion of officers and employees, Rules, 1998, has framed (Appointment and Promotion of

officers and employees) Rules, 2000 which was duly notified by the Government of India in its official gazette

dated 13.07.2010. The Board of Directors of the Bank in its meeting dated 29.09.2010 has adopted these rules. It

is also alleged that the Chairman, Shreyas Gramin Bank in its circular dated 25.09.2010 has clearly mentioned

that these rules have come into force from the date of their publication and it is therefore, clarified that any further

recruitment and promotion shall be conducted as per these rules. That in the existence of Rules 2010, Rules

framed in the year 1998 has lost its significance. The Chairman of the bank to fulfill his personal interest by

invoking the rules framed in the year 1998 which is said to be not in existence in an illegal manner, has taken an

illegal decision and issued a circular dated 10.02.11 which has adversely affected the interest of employees and

officers of Shreyas Gramin Bank. Union has also cited certain provision of Appointment and Promotion of

Officers and Employees Rules, 1998 and 2010. It is also stated that the management before Hon’ble High Court

has filed an affidavit wherein it is stated as to how recruitment and promotions of the officers and employees is to

be done on the basis of post assessed by the management which smacks with biasness and malafide intention of

the management. Management has appointed and promoted the officers and employees in the bank on whimsical

grounds according to Rules 1998, which is illegal and non-est in the eye of law, therefore, on the basis of above it

4430

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

has been prayed that the officers and employees those have been prevented from their appointment and

promotions should also be given justice.

4.

Management has filed their reply in which it is alleged that Shreyas Gramin Bank is sponsored bank of Bank of

India and Canara Bank and now is known as Gramin Bank Aryavart. Central Government is the appropriate

authority to frame the rules regarding appointment and promotion in Regional Gramin Banks in consultation with

the sponsor bank and NABARD and according the Government of India in exercise of powers under section 29 of

RRB Act, framed appointment and promotion rules 2010 by superseding earlier rules framed in the year 1998

and the same were published by the Government in the Gazette of India dated 13.07.10. The management has

categorically denied the averments made by the union in paragraph no.1 to 7. As per guide line issued by the

Government, bank made manpower assessment for creation of vacancies as on 31.03.10 and submitting the same

for vetting by the sponsor bank which was approved by the sponsor bank vide letter dated 08.12.2010. On the

basis of communication issued by the Government of India, it was clarified that the vacancies which existed prior

to the publication of new rules would be filled as per rules which existed at the relevant time, the sponsor bank

advised to fill up the vacancies as per promotion rules 1998 and the matter was put up before he Board which

permitted to fill up the vacancies as pr Promotion Rules 1998, as the vacancies existed on 31.03.2010. It is also

stated that the Board ma in consultation with its sponsor bank determine the number of vacancies in each category

of posts to be filled up. After clearance by Board, the management started appointment and promotions of officers

and employees category wise to fill up the vacant post and after holding written test and interview for promotion

to Officer Grade I list of successful candidates were communicated by circular No.39/11. The selection of

candidates was made strictly as pr provisions of appointment and promotion rules 1998.

5.

Lastly it is alleged that the action of the management is in accordance with the provisions of appointment and

promotions of officers and employees rules 1998, and no illegality has been committed by the management,

therefore, it is prayed that the claim of the union being devoid of merit is liable to be rejected.

6.

Union has also filed rejoinder but nothing new has been narrated therein except reiteration of the facts already

pleaded in the claim petition.

7.

Management has filed photocopies of 9 documents per list dated 20.02.18, whereas no document has been filed

by the union in support of its case.

8.

None appeared on behalf of worker, I heard AR for the management and perused the record

9.

It is pertinent to mention that by a bare perusal of the entire record it is evident that as no evidence in support of

the claim petition has been adduced by the union, management also preferred not to lead any evidence as it is the

claimant union who is highly burdened to prove its case by adducing material and relevant evidence as is required

under law and since the union has completely failed to discharge their obligation to prove their claim, the

reference is bound to be answered against the Union holding that the union is not entitled for any relief for want

of evidence and proof.

10.

Accordingly, the reference is answered in the above terms against the Union and it is held that the union is not

entitled for any relief.

In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section 2(A) of section 10 of

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) (“the Act” in short), the Central Government has referred the industrial

dispute between the employers, in relation to the management of Western Coalfields Ltd. and their workman, Shri Pratap

Y. Fulper, for adjudication, as per letter No.L-22012/117/2011-IR (CM-II) dated 01.09.2011, with the following

schedule:-

“Whether the action of the management of the Western Coalfields Ltd., through its Suptd. of

Mines/Manager, Western Coalfields Ltd., Saoner Mine no.3, At/PO/Tq. Saoner Distt. Nagpur in dismissing

the service of Shri Pratap Y. Fulper, Clerk Grade-I Soaner Mine no.3 Distt. Nagpur w.e.f. 04.03.2010 is

legal and justified? To what relief is the workman concerned is entitled to?”

2.

On receipt of the reference, parties were noticed to file their respective statement of claim and written statement,

in response to which, the workman Shri Pratap Fulper, (“the workman” in short) through his Advocate, filed the

statement of claim and the management of Western Coalfields Limited (“party no.1” in short) filed the written statement.

3.

On behalf of the workman Shri Pratap filed a statement of claim in this Tribunal by asserting that he came to be

appointed as a General Mazdoor on 25.11.1992, then he was promoted to Timber Mazdoor category on 01.01.1994, then

he was also promoted as roof stitching and bolting category no.4 on 01.07.1994, then promoted as clerk grade III and

clerk grade-II, Clerk grade-I on 18.04.1996, 01.01.1998 and 14.11.2002 respectively.

4.

According to workman the entire service career was excellent except false charge sheet given on him by the

party no.1 illegally. He was also suspended from 19/21.09.2006 with retrospective effect on 13.05.2006 which is not

permitted in the eyes of law. He also asserted that he denied all allegations mentioned against him in the charge sheet.

He also asserted that the departmental enquiry did not conduct in accordance with law. He also asserted that

management filed complaint against him in police station. He also filed an application to stay the enquiry till the

decision of the criminal case but his prayer was refused by the management.

5.

According to the workman, departmental enquiry is illegal, improper, unfair and contrary to the principles of

natural justice on the following grounds:-

i)

When the criminal case is pending on the same set of fact, the departmental enquiry ought to be stayed

because according to the workman two identical proceedings cannot continue together.

ii)

Party no. 1 compels to disclose his defence prior completion of the enquiry.

iii)

Relevant documents were not supplied to him.

iv)

Management also denied him in the departmental enquiry to defend through an advocate.

v)

Enquiry officer also did not allow several relevant questions to the management witness in the enquiry and

examination-in-chief of management witnesses was not recorded before him. Enquiry officer completed

departmental proceeding without deciding objections raised by the workman and his defence

4434

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

representative. During the enquiry original documents were not filed by the management i.e whole

departmental enquiry was completed on zerox copies.

vi)

Statement of Management witnesses were in English language which was not well known to the workman

and his representative.

vii)

Management had not paid salary or subsistence allowance pending the departmental enquiry and during

the period of suspension. Management also compels him to mark his presence daily at office.

viii) The principles of natural justice were not followed by the management in the departmental proceeding.

On the above ground workman/party no.2 prayed that principles of natural justice was not followed and proper

hearing was not given. On this basis the argument of the workman/party no.2 was that the finding of the departmental

enquiry is illegal, arbitrary and malafide. So he pray that his order of dismissal dated 2/04.03.2010 is to quashed.

6.

On behalf of the management, written statement was filed denying claim petition. According to the management,

they followed all principles of natural justice and all proceedings were according to law. It was denied that workman’s

service tenure was clean and unblemished. According to them major misconduct of an employee requires major

punishment.

7.

According to the management, V.D. Bhide was appointed as an Enquiry Officer and later on he was replaced by

Smt. R.P. Barla. It is also admitted that criminal complaint was pending against the Party No. 2, during the enquiry

proceedings. They also asserted that Party No. 2 prayed for stay the enquiry proceedings, which was rejected by the

management i.e. departmental enquiry proceedings did not stayed.

8.

On behalf of the management, it was denied that criminal complaint filed against the Party No. 2 in the police

station on the same set of fact, which was under consideration of the departmental enquiry. It was also denied that they

compelled to disclose his defence because he already filed detail reply to the charge sheet. It is denied that they did not

supply the document to the Party No. 2. But according to the management they supplied each and every document to the

Party No. 2.

9.

It is not denied that the Party No. 2 was not allowed to be represented through the advocate because their rule did

not permit them. Party No. 2 could have been represented through co-worker of his choice. It is also denied that Enquiry

Officer was biased in any manner and Party No. 2 was not allowed to put the question to the management witnesses. It is

further denied on behalf of the management that Enquiry Officer allowed management’s representative to adduce

evidence by reading statement. It is also denied by the management that examination-in-chief of the said witnesses was

not recorded properly.

10.

According to the management, Party No. 2 did not raise any objection at any type during enquiry proceeding and

had cross-examined the said witnesses at length. They also denied that statements of management witnesses were

recorded in English only. According to the management, the competent authority after considering all relevant aspect

including the reply to the charge sheet, evidence in the enquiry proceedings, reply to the second show cause notice, and

past service record, then they passed the termination order without prejudice and following the principles of natural

justice.

11.

The Party No. 2 also filed rejoinder, in which they denied the facts denied in the written statement. According to

the Party No. 2, without considering the factual position and the law, Party No. 1 rejected his representation. Party No. 2

also asserted that after suspension, Party No. 1 was allowed to join his duty on 26.06.2007 but after the acquittal from the

criminal case, Party No. 1 did not withdraw the suspension order and reinstate him in the service at the relevant time.

12.

According to the Party No. 2, charge sheet was issued without authority because they were biased. According to

the Party No. 2, he is not a law graduate even his co-worker (who acted as defence representative in the enquiry) is also

not law graduate. According to him the enquiry was conducted contrary to the principles of natural justice. So, he

wanted to pray to set aside the departmental enquiry and Party No. 1 is also directed to reinstate in service with full back

wages.

13.

Point of determination

i.

Whether termination of workman by management is legal and proper.

ii.

Whether workman was in gainful employment.

iii.

Whether workman entitled for any relief.

Reasons for determination.

After giving full opportunity to lead evidence, Party No. 2 examined himself only but management did not

produce any oral evidence. After hearing both the parties this Tribunal passed an order on 21.11.2017 on the point of

validity of departmental enquiry and hold that the departmental enquiry held against the workman is legal, proper and in

accordance with the principles of natural justice.

14.

Now we see the legal position:- State Bank of Bikaner and Jaipur Vs Nemichand, Civil Appeal No. 5861 of 2007,

SC dated 01.03.2011, Regional Manager, U.P.S.R.T.C. Vs Hotilal, Civil Appeal No. 5984 of 2000 dated 11.02.2003,

State Bank of India Vs Ramesh Dinkar, Civil Appeal No. 2055 of 2003 dated 11.08.2006, Devendra Kumar Vs State of

Uttaranchal, Civil Appeal No. 1155 of 2006 dated 29.07.2013 and Bharat Forge Company Ltd. Vs A.B. Zodge, A.I.R.

1996 SC 1556, in which following legal principles are laid down:-

i.

It is now well settled that the courts will not act as an appellate court and reassess the evidence led in the

domestic enquiry, nor interfere on the ground that another view is possible on the material on record.

ii.

Therefore, courts will not interfere with findings of fact recorded in departmental enquires, except where

such findings are based on no evidence or where they are clearly perverse. The test to find out perversity

is to see whether a Tribunal acting reasonably could have arrived at such conclusion or finding, on the

material on record. Courts will however interfere with the findings in disciplinary matters, if principles of

natural justice or statutory regulations have been violated or if the order is found to be arbitrary,

capricious, malafide or based on extraneous considerations.

iii.

Legal position would establish that the disciplinary authority, and on appeal the appellate authority, being

fact-finding authorities have exclusive power to consider the evidence with a view to maintain discipline.

They are invested with the discretion to impose appropriate punishment keeping in view the magnitude or

gravity of the misconduct.

iv

The position in our country, in administrative law, where no fundamental freedoms as aforesaid are

involved, is that the courts/tribunals will only play a secondary role while the primary judgment as to

reasonableness will remain with the executive or administrative authority.

v.

A disciplinary proceeding is not a criminal trial. The standard of proof required is that of preponderance

of probability and not proof beyond reasonable doubt.

15.

Now we discuss the evidence with reference to argument as well as case laws put on behalf of the workman. It is

argued that, no charge has been proved against the Party No. 2 because; a complaint was also launch with police against

him. He filed an application for stay the enquiry till decision of criminal case, but management not considered his

application and they compelled to him to open his defence in the enquiry. But this fact was denied by the management.

Workman in his court statement admitted that he did not challenge the decision of the management not to stay the

departmental enquiry in any competent court of law.

16.

On behalf of workman it was argued that witness produced in criminal case and in the enquiry are the same.

Management had file zerox copy of the document which was produced in above criminal case. On the contrary

management denied this fact. Workman in his court statement admitted that neither he nor his co-worker raised any

objection regarding procedure adopted by the enquiry officer. He also admitted that in the enquiry management supply

copies of the document to him in Hindi translation and he did not demand the Hindi translation of document which was

filed by the management with regard to criminal case. He also admitted that witnesses examined by the management

were cross-examined by his co-worker. He also admitted that witnesses were examined in his presence and the

proceedings of the enquiry were recorded on the same day. He and his co-worker were signed on the proceeding.

17.

On behalf workman it was argued that he received the loan amount from complainant because there was a

marriage of Sarita but marriage could not be perform. But that fact was not proved any other reliable evidence. On

behalf of the workman it was argued that in his charge sheet one charge was proved but other charges was not proved.

But there is no evidence on record to prove any charge. He also argued that order of dismissal passed by management is

illegal arbitrary and malafide and not by proper authority. But that fact was denied by the management. Workman in his

court statement admitted that he did not have any personal enmity with enquiry officer or management representative.

He also admitted that he had not dispute with them at any point of time. He also admitted that nowhere he mentioned

that who is the competent authority to submit charge sheet and pass dismissal order. He also admitted that he and his co-

worker did not raise any objection regarding the procedure adopted by the enquiry officer. In the course of departmental

enquiry he also not mentioned as to what questions was disallowed by the enquiry officer and which were to be asked to

the management’s witnesses.

18.

On behalf of the workman it was argued that party no.1 issued show cause notice and he filed reply/explanation

on 07.02.2010. But management in passing dismissal order was not considering his previous service record and charged

levelled against him with document. This fact was denied by the management. Workman in his court statement admitted

that he received the copy of the enquiry report and second show cause notice was given to him. He also filed reply to

said notice. He also admitted that Mr. Bhide retired from the service and Mrs. Barla was appointed as enquiry officer.

He also admitted that he did not raise any objection regarding appointment of Mrs. Barla as enquiry officer and P.S.

Deshpande as a management representative. He also admitted that Mr. Anjani Kumar Singh was his co-worker in the

departmental enquiry.

19.

On behalf of the management they relied on case law Baljinder Pal Kaur Vs. State of Punjab and others 2016 I

SCC 671, Divisional Controller KSRTC vs. M.G. Vittal Rao 2012 I SCC 442, Dy. Inspector General of Police Vs. S.

4436

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Samuthiram 2013 I SCC 598 and Depot Manager APSRTC Vs. B. Swamy 2007 12 SCC 40 in which the following

principles are laid down:-

1)

Loss of confidence cannot be subjective, based upon the mind of the management. Objective facts which

would lead to a definite inference of apprehension in the mind of the management.

2)

If he is dishonest in the performance of his duties…..and the gravity of misconduct cannot be minimizing

by the fact that he was not earlier caught indulging in such dishonest conduct. There is no guarantee that

he had not acted dishonestly in the past as well, which went undetected.

20.

On behalf of workman it is also argued that workman was never caught red handed of receiving bribe and he

never demanded illegal gratification. He also argued that workman was unemployed and facing starvation. He has no

other source of income to maintain himself and his family. On the contrary this fact was denied by the management. In

his court statement (evidence on affidavit) this fact mentioned in para 21, but not cross examined on this point. After

perusal of criminal judgment and proceedings of the departmental enquiry, it appears to be true that, workman was never

caught red handed on receiving bribe and he has no gainful employment.

21.

On behalf of workman, advocate argued that, departmental enquiry and criminal case were based on same facts

and identical. So, workman must be reinstated, because in criminal case, he was acquitted by the CBI Court. He also

argued that, evidence is not properly appreciated. The workman was terminated illegally, at that time, his 13 years

services were remained. He also argued that, in departmental enquiry, Enquiry Officer also mentioned that, there is

variation in the statement of Shri Chitradhan Singh. He relied on case laws:-G.M. Tank Vs. State of Gujarat AIR 2006

SC 2129 and Capt. M. Paul Anthony Vs. Bharat Gold Mines Ltd. and another 1999 SCC 679.

22.

On the contrary, management denied this argument on relying above case laws, in which, Hon’ble Lordship held

that, in criminal case standard of proof required is beyond reasonable doubt while in a domestic enquiry it is the

preponderance of probabilities that constitutes the test to be applied. It is also held that, some time acquittal order of

criminal court based on technical ground of prosecution witnesses turned hostile and appeared to have been won over.

23.

In case law--- Delhi Transport Corp. vs. Ombir Singh 2017 LLR 252, Hon’ble Lordship held that “Where

principles of natural justice are not being complied with, then in such cases, compensation ought to be granted even if

termination of service is found to be valid”. On the basis of principle laid down in Engineering Laghu Udhyog

Employees Union vs Judge, Labour Court and Industrial Tribunal & others – (2003) 12 SCC 1 in which it was held that:-

“no difference whether the matter comes before the tribunal for approval under S.33 or on a reference under S.10 of the

Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. In either case if the enquiry is defective or if no enquiry has been held as required by

Standing Orders, the entire case would be open before the tribunal and the employer would have to justify on facts as

well that its order of dismissal or discharge was proper.” “A defective enquiry in our opinion stands on the same footing

as no enquiry and in either case the tribunal would have jurisdiction to go into the facts and the employer would have to

satisfy the tribunal that on facts the order of dismissal or discharge was proper.”

It will be open to the Tribunal to pay compensation even in a case where ultimate charges are proved, despite

holding that the order of termination is valid for the reason that principles of natural justice have not complied with.

24.

Judging the present case in hand with the touch stone of the principles as mentioned above, it appears that, there

is contradiction and variation in statement of complainant in departmental enquiry and criminal case. On the basis of this

contradiction, criminal court acquitted the workman but it does not mean that, standard of proof of both types of cases is

same. So, in my opinion, that is defect in the departmental enquiry. It is found that law is well settled that, where

principles of natural justice were not complied with or there is defect in the departmental enquiry, then in such cases

compensation ought to be granted because termination of the services in my opinion is valid. In view of the discussion

made above and the materials on record, it is found that there is no scope to interfere with the order of the punishment of

dismissal from services passed against the workman. Hence, it is ordered:-

ORDER

The action of the management of Western coalfields limited in dismissing the service of the applicant w.e.f.

01.04.2007 is legal and justified but due to defect in departmental enquiry, the workman is entitled for lumpsum

compensation of Rs. 70,000/- (Rupees seventy thousand only) from Party No.1 in lieu of reinstatement, which is

payable within one month from the publication of this award in official gazette, failing which, the amount due to

the workman will carry interest of 6% per annum from the date of due to the workman to the date of actual

payment of the amount to the workman. The workman is not entitled for any other relief.

AWARD

(Dated: 14th May, 2018)

In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section 2(A) of section 10 of

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) (“the Act” in short), the Central Government has referred the industrial

dispute between the employers, in relation to the management of WCL and their workman, Shri Sanjay Birsen, Prakash

Lalman Tohariya and Sham Kumar Baswer for adjudication, as per letter No.L-22012/449/99-IR (C-II) dated

29.08.2000, with the following schedule:-

“Whether the action of the management of the Sub Area Manager, Saoner Sub Area of Western Coalfields

Ltd., Saoner, Distt. Nagpur in dismissing the services of Shri Sanjay Birsen, Prakash Lalman Tohariya and

Sham Kumar Baswar w.e.f. 14.07.1993 is legal and justified? If not, to what relief the workmen are

entitled and from what date?”

2.

On receipt of the reference, the parties were noticed to file their respective statement of claim and written

statement and accordingly, the workman, Shri Sanjay Birsen, Prakash Lalman Tohariya and Sham Kumar Baswar (‘the

workmen” in short), filed the statement of claim and the management of WCL (“Party No. 1” in short) filed their written

statement.

The case of the workmen, namely, Shri Sham Kumar Baswar, Shri Sanjay Birsen and Shri Prakash Lalmohan

Tohariyar as presented in the statement of claim by the union is that the workmen were working as general mazdoors in

Saoner Mine No. 2/3 of Saoner Sub Area of party No.1 from 15.05.1991, 12.03.1991 and 19.10.1990 respectively till

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4441

14.07.1993 and they were served with the charge sheet dated 30.11.1991 on the allegation of assaulting the under

Manager, Shri Parimal Mavawala and all the three workmen on 03.12.1991 submitted their respective reply to the charge

sheet, denying the charges levelled against them and a false report was also lodged by the said officer at Saoner police

station against the workmen, on the basis of which, a criminal case was instituted by the police in the court of the Judicial

Magistrate First Class, Saoner and on 14.07.1993, the date on which, the workmen were dismissed from service, the said

criminal case was still subjudiced in the court of the Judicial Magistrate First Class, Saoner and the story of assault was

quite different in the charge sheets of the departmental inquiry and that of the criminal case and the real story was that the

concerned officer was driving a jeep nearby the Mine No.2/3 unauthorisedly without holding a proper driving license and

in an abnormal condition and dashed the jeep against the cycles of the workmen and the workmen were acquitted in the

criminal case instituted against them by the JMFC, Saoner on 05.01.1996, due to failure of the prosecution to produce the

witnesses including the complainant and the doctor.

The further case of the workmen as presented by the union is that the workmen were active workers of the union

and were eyesore in the eyes of the management due to their union activities and after conclusion of te departmental

enquiry, the copy of the enquiry report was not given to the workmen and the order of dismissal was also not served on

them and party No.1 fabricated clause no.17(1) (w) of the Model Standing Orders with its own wordings in the charge

sheet dated 30.11.1991 and the charges were not established against the workmen in the departmental inquiry and the

order of dismissal was not passed basing on the principles of natural justice and the trade union activities of the workmen

were the real cause behind their dismissal and principles of Law and that of natural justice were not followed by the

Enquiry Officer and therefore, the conclusions and findings of the Enquiry Officer are bad in law and not tenable and the

dismissal of the workmen from services was unwarranted.

Prayer has been made by the union for the reinstatement of the workmen with full back wages.

3.

The party No.1 in the written statement after denying all the adverse allegations made in the statement of claim,

has pleaded inter alia that the workmen were working as general mazdoors at Saoner Mine No.2/3 till 14.07.1993 and

they were given charge sheet dated 30.01.1991 on the allegation of assaulting the under Manager and the workmen filed

their reply to the charge sheet and on the basis of the report lodged at Saoner Police Station, a criminal case was

instituted against the workmen and the said criminal case was pending in the court of the JMFC, Saoner, on the date of

the dismissal of the workmen from service on 14.07.1993 and the Officer and the doctor were never summoned by the

Court and hence, the question of their remaining absent does not arise.

The further case of party No.1 is that the departmental enquiry was conducted against the workmen by observing

the principles of natural justice and as there was no procedure at the relevant point of time to supply the copy of the

inquiry report to the workmen, the copy of the inquiry report were not supplied to them and by circular dated 12.05.1994,

for the first time it was directed that in view of the judgments of the Hon’ble Apex Court, the copy of the enquiry report

should be supplied to the workmen and the management thereafter stated to supplying of the copy of the enquiry report to

the workmen and the charges in the criminal case were framed under the Indian Penal Code and its Standing Orders were

certified on 19.02.1993 and the same was made effective from 27.02.1993 and the charge sheet was issued against the

workmen on 30.11.1991, on the basis of the Model Standing orders applicable to it and the workman had filed IESO case

no. 4/1992 before the First Labour Court, Nagpur challenging the order of the enquiry officer refusing to allow Shri

Ramanuj Sharma to act as the coworker as he was not from the same project and the First Labour Court directed to

maintain status quo as regard to the enquiry proceedings, so the proceedings were stayed and by order dated 21.02.1992,

the status quo order was vacated by the First Labour Court, so the enquiry proceedings were proceeded further and the

workman were instrumental in protracting the enquiry proceedings and there was no delay in the enquiry proceedings

and there was no violation of the provisions of Model Standing Order and in the circumstances mentioned above, no

notice was served upon the workmen and the order of dismissal was passed on the basis of the charges proved in the

proceedings against the workmen and there was no violation of the principles of natural justice in conducting the

departmental enquiry by the enquiry officer and the charges framed against the workmen were not vague, false and

unspecific and in the statement of claim it has not been pleaded as to what prejudice was caused to the workmen for non-

supply of the report of the enquiry and second show cause notice and the said issues were not raised in the conciliation

proceedings and all the documents were made available to the workmen during the conciliation proceedings and they

were in possession of the same before the reference was made to this Tribunal.

The further case of the party no.1 is that as it did not have the certified standing order at the relevant point of

time, it adopted the Model Standing Order and followed the same right from the issuing of the charge sheet till

culmination of the enquiry proceedings and the enquiry officer followed the principles of natural justice in conducting

the enquiry and after the stay was vacated by the First Labour Court, the workmen duly participated in the enquiry

proceedings by appointing another co-worker and did not raise any objection thereafter and no objection was also ever

raised by the workmen to appointment of the enquiry officer and management representative who were appointed in

accordance with law and the enquiry officer was not biased in any manner and it was agreed before the commencement

of the enquiry the first the witnesses would give his evidence and thereafter he would be examined by the management

representative and then he would be cross-examined and accordingly, the enquiry officer followed the said procedure one

4442

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

having accepted the said procedure are precluded from raising any objection in that regard and strict rules of Evidence

Act are not applicable in the enquiry proceedings and the enquiry officer did not ask any leading questions to the

witnesses, but the clarify the confusion had asked some questions to them and the workmen during the working hours

committed grave misconduct and as such, the charge sheet was submitted against them in accordance with the Model

Standing Orders and the workmen submitted their one line reply denying the charges and the reply not being satisfactory,

the enquiry was ordered against them and the enquiry officer gave full opportunity to the workmen to defend themselves

in the enquiry and out of the four charges levelled against the workmen, two charges had been found to be fully proved

and one charge to be partially proved and after taking into consideration the findings recorded by the enquiry officer, the

dismissal order was passed against them and as the workmen had committed grave misconduct, the dismissal order had

been rightly passed by the management and the reference is devoid of any substance and is liable to be answered against

the workmen.

4.

In the rejoinder, it is pleaded by the union on behalf of the workmen that report of the enquiry officer, second

show cause notice, papers proceeded for awarding punishment, copy of written argument filed by management

representative during enquiry proceedings and order of punishment passed by the authority were not given to the

workmen in contravention of law, precedent and principles of natural justice and the party no.1 is a state under Article 12

of the Constitution of India and the action of party no.1 is discriminatory, one sided and unfair labour practice and there

was gross violation of the principles of natural justice and the allegations made in the charge sheet issued against the

workmen were false, fabricated, vague and not specific and the charge sheet suffered from several serious infirmities and

the enquiry was conducted in gross violation of the principles of natural justice and the workmen were victimized and the

enquiry officer in violation of the principles of natural justice and the provisions of the Standing Orders did not allow the

workmen to engage Shri Ramanuj Sharma to represent them as their coworker in the departmental enquiry and the

enquiry officer was biased and the enquiry officer first recorded the statement of witnesses and then allowed the

management representative to examine them and also took cognizance of documents without proof as per law and the

report of the enquiry officer if any is perverse and the enquiry officer failed to evaluate the evidence properly and in the

departmental enquiry it was proved by the workmen that the under officer, Shri Parimal Mawala was driving the jeep

MZV-2286 in a drunken state and without having any valid driving licence on public road at 1 A.M. and he dashed the

jeep against the cycles of the workmen and concocted the story of assault only to save himself and the charge sheet was

submitted against the workmen under the Certified Standing Orders of National Coal Development Corporation and not

Model Standing Orders, which was illegal and unfair and alleged accident took place on the public road at 1 AM, when

neither the workmen nor the under manager were on duty and the under manager dashed the jeep against the cycles of the

workmen kept on the side of the road near the cultivable land of one of the workmen and the said facts were intimated to

the management by the workmen vide their letter dated 28.11.1991 before issuance of the charge sheet and the enquiry

officer was the rank of Addl. Chief Mining Engineer and he was 3-4 grade above the charge sheeting authority and the

enquiry officer recommended punishment to be imposed and it was obvious that the management was bent upon to

punish the workmen in any way and the enquiry officer allowed the management representative to put leading questions

to the witnesses and the workmen were acquitted in the criminal case and the action of the party no.1 is liable to be

quashed and the punishment is too harsh and disproportionate and the workmen are entitled for reinstatement in service

with continuity, full back wages and all consequential benefits.

5.

As this is a case of dismissal of the workman from service after conducting of a departmental enquiry, the fairness

or other of the departmental enquiry has been taken up as a preliminary issue for consideration.

6.

Both the parties have relied on documentary evidence in support of their respective stands. Besides the

documentary evidence, the union has adduced the oral evidence of the workmen, Prakash Toriya and Sanjay Birsen to

prove its stand. No oral evidence has been adduced by party no.1 in support of its stands at that time. My predecessor

on 15.09.2014 hold that the departmental enquiry held against the workman is illegal, unjustified and in not accordance

with principles of natural justice and gave a chance to management to adduce the evidence to prove the charge against

the workman.

7.

Point of determination:-

i)

Whether workmen threatening and assault to their officers.

ii)

Whether their act come in purview of misconduct.

iii)

Whether the action of management in dismissing the services of workmen is legal and justified?

iv)

Whether the workmen are in gainful employment?

v)

Whether the workmen are entitled to any relief.

Reasons of determination

On behalf of the workmen, on the basis of following case laws, it was argued that charge sheet was issued in English,

workmen do not know English, without giving enquiry report and second show cause notice, and workmen were

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4443

dismissed from service. It was also argued that they also filed a complaint to the Police against Shri Parimal but no

action was taken by the Police. It was also argued that there were 4 charges were levelled against the workmen but there

is nexus with employment. They also argued that management had no extra territorial jurisdiction. -----Deepali Gundu

treated by the doctor. On the basis of these facts he argued that punishment of dismissal to workmen is proper, just and

proportionate to their misconduct. He also argued that they gave full opportunity to the workmen by following the

principles of natural justice.

1155 of 2006 dated 29.07.2013 and Bharat Forge Company Ltd. Vs A.B. Zodge, A.I.R. 1996 SC 1556, in which

following legal principles are laid down:-

i.

It is now well settled that the courts will not act as an appellate court and reassess the evidence led in the

domestic enquiry, nor interfere on the ground that another view is possible on the material on record.

ii.

Therefore, courts will not interfere with findings of fact recorded in departmental enquires, except where

such findings are based on no evidence or where they are clearly perverse. The test to find out perversity

is to see whether a Tribunal acting reasonably could have arrived at such conclusion or finding, on the

material on record. Courts will however interfere with the findings in disciplinary matters, if principles of

natural justice or statutory regulations have been violated or if the order is found to be arbitrary,

capricious, malafide or based on extraneous considerations.

iii.

The position in our country, in administrative law, where no fundamental freedoms as aforesaid are

involved, is that the courts/tribunals will only play a secondary role while the primary judgment as to

reasonableness will remain with the executive or administrative authority.

10.

In case law--- Delhi Transport Corp. vs. Ombir Singh 2017 LLR 252, Hon’ble Lordship held that “Where

principles of natural justice are not being complied with, then in such cases, compensation ought to be granted even if

termination of service is found to be valid”. On the basis of principle laid down in Engineering Laghu Udhyog

Employees Union vs Judge, Labour Court and Industrial Tribunal & others – (2003) 12 SCC 1 in which it was held that:-

“no difference whether the matter comes before the tribunal for approval under S.33 or on a reference under S.10 of the

Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. In either case if the enquiry is defective or if no enquiry has been held as required by

Standing Orders, the entire case would be open before the tribunal and the employer would have to justify on facts as

well that its order of dismissal or discharge was proper.” “A defective enquiry in our opinion stands on the same footing

as no enquiry and in either case the tribunal would have jurisdiction to go into the facts and the employer would have to

satisfy the tribunal that on facts the order of dismissal or discharge was proper.” These principles are also laid down by

Hon’ble Supreme Court in case laws- Punjab Urban Planning & Development authority Vs. Mandip Singh (2016) 7

SCC-571, UPSRTC Vs. Gopal Shukla (2015) SCC 603, Sanjay Singh Vs. National Seed Corporation (2017) 13 SCC

269, V.D. Vegad Vs. State of Gujurat (2017) 2 SCC 508 and Angikr Oriental (Arbic) Higher Secondary School Vs. A.

Harnoon (2017) 2 SCC 510.

11.

Now we discuss evidence with reference to argument as well as principles laid down in the above case laws. On

behalf of management Mr. Parimal, Dr. Saha and Hiralal was examined to prove the charges of misconduct against the

workman. On the contrary in rebuttal workmen examine Mr. Prakash, Sanjay Birsen and Sham Kumar Chandrashekhar

Baiswar to support their defence as well as statement of claim. Firstly, we will see the principles laid down by the

Hon’ble Apex court in case law M/s. Glazo Laboratories Vs. Presidng Officer Meerut - “held that Misconduct must have

casual connection with place of work and with duty hours – Employer has no extra-territorial jurisdiction under Standing

Orders to punish for misconduct.------ each one of them have correlation to the time or place where it is committed”.

12.

All three workmen in para 15 and 23 of their court statement admitted that after doing midnight duty left for

home at 12.30 am. They also admitted that mine area started from main road and bridge is located between main road

and mine office. After the reading the enquiry report it also appeared that workmen wants to threatened Mr. Parimal who

was at that time Sub Area Manager/Mines Manager. Workmen also admitted that they are general mazdoor and they use

to perform their duty assigned by Overman. An Overman works under the Mines Manager/Sub Area Manager. They also

admitted that they have no enmity with MR. Primal and Hiralal.

4444

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

13.

It shows that they have some grievance about work allotted to them so they want to threaten the management. In

my opinion there was casual connection with the place of work and duty hours which correlate with their work allotted in

their duties. So argument of workmen’s advocate is not sustainable in my opinion.

14.

Workmen in his rebuttal evidence took a defence that Parimal saheb’s jeep came from behind at a great speed and

lost his control. He dashed two cycles, which got badly damaged. They asked Mr. Parimal to pay compensation to

repair of their cycles, Parimal also agreed to pay damages but he told them not to tell about this incident to anybody, but

on next day he lodged a complaint to the Police for beating and kidnapping. Workmen also filed counter complaint

against Mr. Parimal but the police took no action against Mr. Parimal. In his cross-examination workmen admitted that

all four workmen were friends. There was moon light at the spot. They also admitted that Dr. Saha had given treatment

to Parimal who is Sub Area Manager. They also admitted that all four persons were standing near the bridge.

15.

Workmen also admitted in their court statement that, they also not asked to Police to take blood sample of Mr.

Parimal whether he had consumed liquor or not. They took contradictory stand that they are going on respective home

after completion of duty and other way they also asserted that they are standing near the bridge so evidence of these 3

workers not appeared to be reliable in respect to their defence with regard to the counter complaint. It also appears that

it shows the presence of the workers on the spot at Midnight. It also proves that there is no dispute of identification of

workmen as there was moon light. In this respect defence taken by the workmen not appear to be reasonable and

probable.

16.

On behalf of the workman in his court statement it was admitted that complaint lodged by Mr. Parimal was

registered by the Police. They face a prosecution before Judicial Magistrate First Class Saoner. They were acquitted by

the court because prosecution fails to present any witness despite numerous chance.

17.

Hon’ble Lordship held that, in criminal case standard of proof required is beyond reasonable doubt while in a

domestic enquiry it is the preponderance of probabilities that constitutes the test to be applied. It is also held that, some

time acquittal order of criminal court based on technical ground of prosecution witnesses turned hostile and appeared to

have been won over.

18.

On behalf of the workman, it was also argued that party no.2 entitled to reinstate in service with continuity and

payment of full back wages because party no.1 with an intention to harass him. So according to the workmen finding

recorded in departmental enquiry was totally perverse and unsustainable in the eyes of law. Even in absence of these

pieces of evidence the enquiry officer had proved the charges, so findings are perverse. He also argued that his past

service record was not considered before imposing harsh punishment of dismissal from services.

19.

On the contrary, this argument was denied by the management by stating that in criminal trial complainant turn

hostile and to have been winning over, so judgment in criminal court is of no use. It is also argued that it is settled

principle of law that once employer looses confidence in the employee, it was not desirable to continue such employee in

employment. They also argued that punishment of dismissal imposed upon the workman could not be termed as

disproportionate.

20.

It is also laid down in above case law that, Disciplinary authority and Appellant Authority being the fact finding

authority, this Tribunal is not Appellate Authority. It is also held that, Tribunal will only play secondary role, while the

primary judgment as to reasonableness will remain with the executive of administrative authority.

21.

The management also argued that, workman did not prejudice in real. It was also argued that, in following case

laws, it was held that, “The delinquent employee has to establish real prejudice caused by non-furnishing of enquiry

report” ………Union of India and others Vs Bishamber Das Dogra (2009) 13 SCC 102, Haryana Financial Corporation

and another Vs Kailash Chandra Aahuja (2008) 9 SCC 31 and Union of India and others Vs Alok Kumar (2010) 5 SCC

349.

22.

The advocate for the workmen raised the point that, there is a defect in the departmental enquiry, because Enquiry

Officer was prejudice, so, in his enquiry report, he mentioned that, “Delinquent are required to be dealt seriously in view

of the past antecedent of criminal nature so as to avoid habitual indiscipline among the workmen and to give proper

protection to loyal and dutiful executive”. He also argued that, this court declared the departmental enquiry illegal and

unjustified. I agree with the argument of learned advocate for the workmen, because management failed to prove that,

the defect in departmental enquiry was cure in some way, so in my opinion, that is the defect in the departmental enquiry,

which caused prejudice to the workmen.

23.

On behalf of the workmen, it was argued that, after dismissal from the services, all workmen are out of

employment. They tried their best to secure alternative jobs for survival, but failed to get one, but workmen in para no.

27 of his court statement, admitted that, they are earning approximately Rs. 1000/- per month by performing some work

after the termination. It shows that, they are in some employment, but argument appears to be genuine that, they are not

in gainful employment.

Judging the present case in hand with the touch stone of the principles as mentioned above, it is found that law is

well settled that where principles of natural justice were not complied with, then in such cases compensation ought to be

granted because termination of the services in my opinion is valid. In view of the discussion made above and the

materials on record, it is found that there is no scope to interfere with the order of the punishment of dismissal from

services passed against the workman in light of observation made by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in M.P. Electricity

Board Vs Jagdish Chandra Sharma (2005) 3 SCC 401. Hence, it is ordered:-

ORDER

The action of the management of the Sub Area Manager, Saoner Sub Area of Western Coalfields Ltd.,

Saoner, Distt. Nagpur in dismissing the services of Shri Sanjay Birsen, Prakash Lalman Tohariya and Sham

Kumar Baswar w.e.f. 14.07.1993 is legal and justified, but due to lack of procedure in the departmental enquiry,

each workman is entitled for Lumpsum compensation of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupees one lac only) from Party No. 1 in

lieu of reinstatement, which is payable within one month from the publication of this award in official gazette,

failing which, amount due to workmen will carry interest of 6% per annum from the date of due to the workmen

to the date of actual payment of the amount to the workmen. The workmen are not entitled for any other relief.

The case of union as setup on behalf of above named workers is that all the above workers were engaged in the

month of June 1998, January 1999, April 1999, February 2000 and January 2001 as causal labor at monument at

Fetehpur Sikri to maintain the gardens where they continuously worked for more than 240 days in each year and

thus they have attained a right to be regularized in the service of the management. The worker named in the list of

employees as above were terminated from the dates given against their names but at the time of their termination

provisions of section 25F of the act were not followed . Management has also breached provisions of 25H and

25G. It is also alleged that hundreds of employees junior to the workman where appointed by the management

who are still in the service at different gardens of the management but their workers involved in the present

dispute have been deprived from their work. It is further pleaded that from the year 1996 till date about 200

gardeners and chowkidars were given appointments through direct recruitment but workers have not been offered

employment by the management. All the workers along with their family members are facing difficulty on

account of their being jobless.

4.

On the basis of above it is prayed by union that the concerned workers are entitled for their reinstatement in the

service of the management as well as they are also entitled to be regularize in the service in the manner their

colleagues were regularize in the service. It is also prayed that workers may also be granted wages for the period

they remained out of employment.

5.

Management has filed a very lengthy w/s but only such pleading will be detailed as are necessary for deciding

present dispute.

6.

By way of preliminary objection it is pleaded by the management that the case of workers is neither entertain able

being beyond the jurisdiction of the Tribunal; that the claim of the worker is beyond the scope of reference order;

that the office of the ASI , Horticulture division no. 1 Taj Mahal , Agra are responsible for maintenance and

development of gardens around the National Protected Monument for improvement of Environment; that the

present dispute is not Industrial dispute and suffer from the mis joinder of the parties as well as non-joinder of the

parties; that as the workers are not a workmen under the provision of section 2(s); that the present case is not a

case of retrenchment hence provision of section 25F are not applicable.

7.

On merit the management has pleaded that the person’s name in the annexure of reference order had never been

employed by the management as casual labor and they have never work on permanent and regular post of daily

paid agricultural mazdoors. Daily paid mazdoors are engaged as per requirement in casual and seasonal work and

the nature of work alleged to be performed by these workers are occasional and intermittent. It is admitted by

management that daily paid casual mazdoors when required are engaged through open market for shorter period

and their engagement comes to an end automatically on completion of work. That the claim of the workers are

totally vague, concocted and without any basis. Management has also denied the continuous working of 240 days

in any calendar year. On the basis of above the management has stated that the claim of the union with regard to

the alleged worker is liable to be rejected being devoid of merit.

8.

Union has not filed any rejoinder.

9.

Worker Devendra has examined as WW1 and in his support WW2 Sirajudin has been examined. On behalf of

management Shri Radhey Shyam Gupta has been examined as MW1.

10.

Worker has filed several documents along with claim petition which are order of CAT passed in OA No. 425 of

2004,2/4-9 and regarding other documents he has filed copy of judgment of Hon’ble High Court and CAT in

other cases. He has also filed list of candidates who have been appointed from 1986 till date, paper no. 2/23-27

and copies of advertisement issued by the management for different post.

11.

Management has not filed any documentary evidence.

12.

I have heard the parties and perused the record.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

4447

13.

On the perusal of record it is found that the worker has moved an application for summoning original muster rolls

from 1998 to August 2004 and has also summoned original payment vouchers for the same period which was

allowed by my predecessor, but management failed to file summoned documents.

14.

Authorized Representative of worker has contended that two witnesses were examined on behalf of worker and

list of workers who were appointed w.e.f 1986 has also been filed where in at serial no. 120 it is mentioned that

Shri Shiv Ram s/o Gajendra Singh has been appointed directly on 16.07.2004. It is also alleged that the witness

examined by the management is of no use who in his cross examination has not replied the questions but he has

simply stated that he has no knowledge of most of the facts of the case on which cross examination is made.

Secondly muster roll and payment vouchers are not filed despite summoning from this Tribunal and for this the

management witness has also stated that he has no knowledge why records are not filed. Under these

circumstances the Tribunal is bound to take adverse inference against the management that had these documents

being filed by the management it would prove the case of the worker therefore testimony of this witness cannot

be believed as these witness has not answered questions put before him in his cross examination and he was

totally ignorant about the facts of the case as also he has no knowledge about the facts of this case.

15.

Now it is to be seen whether worker have proved their case; whether management have employed junior to these

workers after respective date of termination and whether management has given any opportunity of re

employment to these workers and lastly whether the management has followed the provisions of section 25F of

the Act.

16.

It is the specific case of the union that the workers named in the annexure to the reference order have been

engaged by the management during the period 1998, 1999, 2000 and 2001 and almost all of them have completed

240 days in each calendar months preceding the date of their respective termination of service, their services have

been terminated without any notice, notice pay and retrenchment compensation and also that hundreds of workers

have been engaged by the management and these workers have not been given any opportunity of their

reemployment in the service of the management. On the contrary management have stated that these workers

have never been engaged by the management; there exists no dispute with regard to their engagement or

disengagement; that these workers have never been paid any wages by the management etc. etc.and lastly when

the management had never disengaged the workers from the service in such circumstances question of complying

with the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act, does not arise at all.

17.

W.W.2 Sri Devender in his examination in chief has categorically stated that all the workers were engaged by the

management during the period 01.06.98 to 19.08.04 as casual laborers at Fatehpur Sikri, Agra, and they were

engaged by Sri Radhey Shyam Foreman and that they have been disengaged by said Sri Radhey Shyam. Witness

has also stated the nature of work performed by them. All of them were paid their wages month wise and their

attendance was recorded on the muster rolls and at the time of their disengagement no notice, notice pay or

retrenchment compensation was paid by the management. In his cross examination the witness has denied the

suggestion of the management that they have not worked with the management and it is also wrong to suggest

that all of them have not worked against regular and permanent post under the management. Witness has also

stated that the works on which all of them have been engaged remains in existence for whole year.

18.

W.W.1 Sirazuddin has also supported the version of w.w.2 and has specifically stated in his examination in chief

that after his disengagement, management engaged by name Sonu and Ashok but this witness has not been cross

examined on this point by the authorized representative for the management.

19.

As the management witness has expressed his ignorance about the facts of this case in his evidence, therefore, his

evidence has got no evidentiary value and as such cannot be believed.

20.

The evidence adduced by the worker remains uncontroverted on the point that the management has not given any

notice, notice pay and retrenchment compensation at the time of their disengagement which was necessary as the

worker witness has proved the fact that they have been in continuous employment of the management, it has also

been proved that the management after their disengagement have engaged new faces as is very much clear from

paper no. 2/23-27, which is a list of candidate who were appointed by the management from 1986 till 06.04.05

and at serial no. 120 one Sri Shiv Ram son of Gajendra is mentioned who has been appointed by the management

on 16.07.04 by way of direct recruitment.

21.

The union therefore, has successfully established their case that these workers have been engaged by the

management as casual labor, that they have not been given any notice, notice pay or retrenchment compensation

at the time of their respective disengagement, that fresh hands were appointed by the management without

providing any opportunity to re-employee these workers and that juniors to these workers have been made regular

and permanent by the management at the posts from where they have been disengaged.

22.

Therefore, the tribunal is of the view that the disengagements of the worker by the management is in breach of

provisions of Section 25F, 25G and 25H of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and all of them are held entitled for

4448

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

their reinstatement in the service of the management from the date of their respective disengagement with

continuity of service and with consequential benefits attached with the post.

23.

So far back wages is concerned although the worker in their evidence has stated that they are facing serious

financial crisis but has not stated even a single word that they are not gainfully employed anywhere else, hence

considering this aspect of the matter the tribunal is not inclined to award any back wages to the workers.

24.

Lastly question of regularization of the concerned workers in the service of the management is concerned, no

doubt it has come in evidence of the worker that several persons have been made permanent and regularized in

service who are alleged to have been engaged after the termination of their services, but the tribunal after giving

its anxious consideration on this point is of the view that the tribunal should refrain in granting regularization of

service of a worker as it is the sole responsibility of the management who after considering the medical fitness,

suitability etc., takes decision as to whether he is fit to be regularized in the service or not. No doubt several new

hands have been appointed by the worker and they were regularized by the management in the service, therefore,

management is directed to consider the regularization of these workers within six months from the date of the

publication of this award subject to fulfillment of the conditions required under rules.

25.

Reference is answered accordingly in favor of the Union and against the management in the above terms.

ORDER

The applicant-workman and the authorized representative of the Management are present. Heard the parties on

the issue of maintainability of the case raised by the 1st Party-Management in view of the application under section 2-

A(2) & (3) of the I.D. Act, 1947 having been preferred three years after the alleged refusal of employment to the

applicant. It is the contention of the 1st Party-Management that as per the statement of claim filed by the disputant

workman the alleged date of retrenchment is January, 2012 whereas the application under section 2-A(2) is preferred in

this Tribunal on 21.9.2016 and as such keeping in view the limitation period prescribed under sub-clause (3) of Section

2-A of the Act the case is barred by limitation. Opposing the contention the disputant workman has submitted that he was

denied work in the month of January, 2012 on a plea of withholding of permission for mining activities and he was

intimated by the Management on 8.7.2016 that his service is not required no more. The application under section 2-A(2)

and (3) having been preferred within three years from the date of oral intimation of retrenchment is maintainable in the

eye of law.

2.

Perused the statement of claim filed by the applicant-workman and written statement filed on behalf of the 1st

Party-Management. In his application the disputant workman has categorically mentioned that in January, 2012 the 1st

Party-Management suspended the mining operation on the ground of expiry of lease term of the mining and he was not

allowed to enter into the mines to perform his work. According to him he was running to the Management regularly for

his engagement till 25.3.2016 when he was orally informed that his service is terminated. There is nothing specific in his

statement of claim that he was receiving wages till 25.3.2016 when he was informed about his termination. On the other-

hand the statement of claim reveals that he was not permitted to work with effect from January, 2012 and that being the

position in his statement of claim it can safely be inferred that the alleged date of refusal of employment, which amounts

to retrenchment was January, 2012.

3.

As per the requirement of Section 2-A(2) & (3) the application for such dismissal/retrenchment/discharge shall be

made to the Labour Court or Tribunal before the expiry of three years from the date of discharge/dismissal/retrenchment

or otherwise termination of service. Admittedly, the application is filed more than four years after the date of alleged

retrenchment/termination of service. The Act having a provision of limitation period within which the application under

section 2-A(2) are to be filed, the provisions of Section 5 of Limitation Act to condone the delay is not applicable. When

the application is not filed within a limitation period prescribed in the special Act itself inspite of the mandate of the

provision that such application shall be made to the Labour Court or Tribunal before the expiry of three years from the

date of discharge/dismissal/retrenchment and there is no provision in the Act itself authorizing the Labour Court or

Tribunal can condone such delay, the Tribunal has no alterative than dismissing/rejecting the application for barred by

limitation. However, the disputant is not barred to raise a dispute before the Labour machinery for his alleged illegal

termination of service as no limitation is prescribed in this regard in the Act. A free copy of the order may be furnished to

the disputant workman if applied for.

of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947(in short the Act) for adjudication of an industrial dispute, terms of

which are as under:

‘Whether the disputant Shri Rajiv Bagri was workman as defined under Section 2 of the I.D. Act, 1947, while

working as Asstt.Manager with the management of Star Unio Dai-iachi Life Insurance Co. Ltd. ? If yes, whether

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 30, 2018/ASADHA 9, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

the termination of the disputant from 15.05.2013 by the said management is just and fair ? If not, to what relief

disputant is entitled to and from which date ?

2.

Both parties were put to notice and the claimant., Shri Rajiv Bagri filed his statement of claim, with the

averments that the workman joined the Management company on 8/3/2009 vide appointment letter dated 4/3/2009 at

Dehradun and served the Management company for more than 4 years. The claimant gave best result to the company by

performing his duties since 2009 to 2011. The Senior Supervisor Mr. Pankaj Pandey knowingly and willingly transferred

the petitioner from city branches to rural area and ultimately terminated his services on 15/5/2013 without issuing any

charge sheet or holding inquiry. Even neither any prior notice, nor retrenchment compensation was given to him. The

claimant was never given any power of Manager, nor he enjoyed the same during the entire tenure of his service . Action

of the Management in terminating his services is illegal. He has prayed for reinstatement to the post of Asstt. Manager,

with all benefits.

3.

Management resisted the claim of the Workman, by filing written stateme and made preliminary submissions

that the claimant is not a workman as defined under Section 2(s) of the Act, inasmuch as he was appointed as Asstt.

Manager, drawing salary of Rs15000/- per month and was in charge of cluster of Union Bank of India/Bank of India

branches in the State of Uttrakhand. It is alleged that the claimant was found indulging in dereliction of duty and of

attending the duty in unprofessional manner having very casual approach towards his job and creating frivolous excuses

to shield his underperformance which ultimately started affecting the repute and business of the management company.

Because of his non performance, the company had issued a number of letters/mails dated 7.8.12, 12.10.12, 6.11.12,

7.12.12, 8.1.13 and 7.2.2013 thereby giving him opportunity to streamline and improve his performance but to no avail.

In view of his poor performance, the Company took a lenient view and offered him the post of Insurance Sales Officer

but he chose not to join as such and in the circumstances, the management issued a termination letter dated 15/5/2013 to

the claimant and asked him to complete the formalities for full and final settlement claim and a sum of Rs.34785/- was

transferred in the account of the claimant towards full and final settlement of his claims. Prayer has been made for

dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

On the pleadings of the parties, following issues were framed on 8/6/2015 :-

1)

Whether Shri Rajiv Bagri was workman as defined under Section 2(s) of ID Act, 1947, while working as

Asstt.Manager, with the management of Star Union Dai-iachi Life Insurance Co. Ltd. ? If so, its effect ?

2)

If yes, whether the termination of Shri Rajiv Bagri from 15/5/2013 by the said management is just and

fair? If so, its effect ?

3)

To what relief Shri Rajiv Bagri is entitled to & from which date ?

5.

Number of opportunities were granted to the Claimant to lead evidence in support of his claim but he failed to

adduce any evidence. He even did not enter the witness box either to substantiate the averments made in the claim

petition or to rebut the case of the Management that the claimant being employed to the managerial post, does not come

within the ambit of definition of Workman. Ultimately this Tribunal vide order dated 16/4/2018 was constrained to

reserve the matter for passing the award, as it seemed that the claimant was not at all interested in the progress of his

claim petition, on merits.

6.

In view of the fact that the claimant has not led any evidence in support of his claim, this Tribunal has no option

but to pass No Dispute Award in the matter. Since the matter has not been decided on merits, there will be no bar for the

claimant to file afresh claim petition in accordance with law for adjudication of the controversy in issue or to seek any

other relief to which he is otherwise entitled to. Award is passed accordingly.

Let a copy of this Award be sent for publication as required under Section 17 of the Act.

AWARD

In the present case, matter was referred to Central Government Industrial Tribunal cum Labour Court No.2,

New Delhi vide letter No.L-12012/121/2012-IR(B-1) dated 16.05.2013 under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-

section (2A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947(in short the Act) for adjudication of an industrial dispute,

terms of which are as under:

‘Whether the action of the management of Kotak Mahindra Bank by transferring of workman from Meerut to

Tamilnadu (Namakkal) under the guise of following management policy amounts to an unfair labour practice

and is unjustified ? If so, to what relief he is entitled to ?

2.

Both parties were put to notice and the claimant., Shri Jay Kumar Sharma filed his statement of claim, with the

averments that he was employed with the Management as Manager in grade M-3 w.e.f. 28./2/2011 vide appointment

letter dated 18/2/2011 and during the course of his duties, he never performed any work of a Supervisory nature. Several

violation of mandatory RBI circulars were highlighted by the workman and instead of paying attention thereto, the

Management developed inimical feelings towards the workman and ultimately vide order dated 2/4/2012 the workman

was transferred from Meerut to Namakkal, Tamilnadu (a distance of more than 3000 km.) as a punitive measure. The

workman has joined the services at Namakkal w.e.f. 16/4/2012 under protest. It is alleged that the impugned order dated

2/4/2012 is a malafide and colorable exercise of power by the management under the guise of following management

policy, amounting to unfair labor practice. The workman has prayed for quashing/setting aside of the order dated

2/4/2012 and for his relocation at Meerut.

3.

Management resisted the claim of the Workman, by filing written statement and took preliminary objections that

the claim is devoid of any justification inasmuch as the services of the claimant were transferred from Meerut to

Namakkal considering the business exigencies and as per Management transfer policy, without affecting any change in

other terms ad conditions of appointment letter dated 18/2/2011 issued to the claimant. It has been denied that the transfer

of the claimant vide order dated 2/4/2012 is a malafide, colourable exercise of power by the Management or it amounts

to unfair labour practice. It has been stated that the claimant is not a workman within the definition of Section 2(s) of

the Act because he was appointed as a Manager in the Bank on handsome monthly salary of Rs.44693/- in addition to

other perks like PF, gratuity etc. which are given to a person who is employed in managerial and administrative capacity.

Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

On the pleadings of the parties, following issues were framed on 28/11/2014 :-

1)

Whether the action of the management of Kotak Mahindra Bank by transferring of workman from

Meerut to Tamilnadu (Namakkal) under the guise of following management policy amounts to an

unfair labour practice and is unjustified ? If so, its effect ?

2)

Whether workman comes within the ambit of definition of workman as defined in I.D. Act ? If so, its

effect ?

3)

What relief the workman is entitled to ?

5.

Number of opportunities were granted to the Claimant to lead evidence in support of his claim but he failed to

adduce any evidence. He even did not enter the witness box either to substantiate the averments made in the claim

petition or to rebut the case of the Management that the claimant does not come within the ambit of definition of

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % twu 30] 2018@vk"kk<+ 9] 1940

Workman. Perusal of the record shows that the claimant did not appear before the Tribunal from 12/1/2017 despite the

fact that matter was adjourned time and again and ultimately this Tribunal was constrained to reserve the matter for

passing the award.

6.

In view of the fact that the claimant has not led any evidence in support of his case, this Tribunal is constrained

to pass No Dispute Award in the matter. Since the matter has not been decided on merits, there will be no bar for the

claimant to file afresh claim petition in accordance with law for adjudication of the controversy in issue or to seek any

other relief to which he is otherwise entitled to. Award is passed accordingly.

Let a copy of this Award be sent for publication as required under Section 17 of the Act.
