Central Government, Mol, vide notification no.L-42012/12/2013-IR (DU) dated 24-05-2013, has referred the

following dispute for adjudication to this tribunal.

“Whether the action of the management of the Elgin Mills Company Ltd., Kanpur, A Unit of British India

Corporation Ltd., Kanpur in terminating the services of Shri Ram Kripal, S/o Late Ayodhya Prasad workman w.e.f.

01.03.2001 by way of his premature retirement is just & legal? What relief the workman concerned is entitled to?”

3.

In the instant case a reference was referred to Central Government Industrial Tribunal cum Labor Court,

Kanpur, whereupon notice to the claimant was issued under registered post by CGIT Kanpur for filing his claim in the

case.

4.

Worker Ram Kripal has filed his claim statement stating that he was appointed as sepoy in 1978 in M/s. the

Elgin Mill company Ltd., Kanpur in watch & ward department and had deposited his educational and caste certificate

658

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

wherein his date of birth was mentioned as 4-04-1949. During his service period he got injured on 23-03-1998 in an

accident. A report was sent to state Employees Insurance Corporation on form 16 wherein his age was mentioned as 50

years and he was superannuated on 01-03-2001 illegally and it was requested that order passed by management for

superannuating him on 1-03-2001 be declared illegal and he be reinstated and be paid back wages.

5.

Management has filed his reply refuting the claim of worker and it is alleged that this claim is filed after 13

years of his superannuation. It is further alleged that it is pertinent to mention that Elgin Mills Company Limited, Kanpur

has been winded up by the orders of Hon’ble High Court, Allahabad and ordered to appoint Official Liquidator vide

order dated 25-10-2010 and entire assets and properties are in the custody and control of the Official Liquidator. Under

446 of the Company’s Act when a winding up order has been made or the Official Liquidator has been appointed as

Provisional Liquidator, no suit or other legal proceedings shall be commenced or if pending on the date of winding up

order, shall be proceeded with against the company, except by leave of the Hon’ble High Court. In view of the above,

this Hon’ble Tribunal has no jurisdiction to pass any order against the company in the above case, without leave of the

Company Judge of Hon’ble High Court, Allahabad. Thereafter worker has filed rejoinder in which nothing new has been

added.

6.

Management during pendency of this dispute has moved application 13/1 wherein it is alleged that as the

company has been winded up and liquidator has been appointed by orders of Hon’ble High Court this jurisdiction of the

tribunal is ceased and this case cannot proceed after appointment of official liquidator Management has also filed 5

documents through list 12/1. Worker has filed his objection 14/1 denying the fact alleged by management in application.

7.

I have heard parties’ representative and perused the record.

8.

Management has filed copy of order dated 25-10-10 passed Hon’ble High Court in company petition no.

24/2009 M/s. Kotak Mahindra Bank Ltd. v/s M/s. Elgin Company Ltd. which is paper no 12/7. A perusal of order reveals

that Hon’ble High Court has passed order for winding up the Elgin Ltd. Company and appointment of official

Liquidator.

9.

In this connection it is also important to point out that this industrial dispute has been registered on reference

issued by Central Government on 24.05.13 that is much after the order passed by Hon’ble High Court for winding up the

company and appointment of official liquidator. This fact is not denied by worker therefore it appears to be admitted to

the worker.

10.

Section 446(1) states that when a winding up order has been made or the or the Official Liquidator has been

appointed as provisional liquidator, no suit or other legal proceeding shall be commenced, or if pending at the date of the

winding up order, shall be proceeded with, against the company, except by leave of the Court and subject to such terms

as the Court may impose.

11.

As discussed above this dispute is referred much after the order of Hon’ble High Court for winding up of

company and appointment of official liquidator. Therefore this dispute/case cannot be proceeded in view of provisions

mentioned above under section 446(1) of company act.

12.

As such this tribunal is not competent to decide this dispute and pass any award.

13.

Reference is answered accordingly.

This Industrial Dispute between workmen represented by the President of Local & Non-Tribal “89 days basis

employees” of RHEP, NEEPCO Ltd., Yazali (A.P.) and the Management NEEPCO (RHEP),Yazali, (A.P.) was referred

to this Tribunal by the Central Government vide Notification dated 09/05/2017 with the following schedule :

“Whether the action of management of NEEPCO Ranganadi Hydro Electric plant, Yazali, Lower Subansiri,

Arunachal Pradesh-791119 and its corporate office Brookland Compound Lower New Colony, Shillong-793003 is

justified in not regularizing the services of employees of all local & Non-Tribal 89 days basis of RHEP group who

are providing their services since 01.09.1999 as casual employees even when there is a backlog vacancy available.

IF not, what relief the employees of 89 days basis of RHEP Group are entitled to from the management of

NEEPCO, Ranganandi Hydro Electric Plant, Yazali Lower subansiri, Arunachal Pradesh and its corporate

office at shillong.”

2.

On receipt of the reference, notices were sent to the parties. The parties appeared and submitted their

written statements.

3.

The case of the claimant/workmen was that in the year 1990, the concerned workmen were appointed in Muster

Roll category and subsequently they were continued to be engaged as contract labours in NEEPCO(RHEP), Yazali. The

list of the workers have been enclosed as Annexure-I & II which revealed that 98 numbers of workmen were in the said

category. After having served for a very long time starting from the year 1990, the concerned workmen placed their

grievances to the management and prayed for regularization of their jobs and on the basis of their representation some

discussions were held with the management. A copy of the memorandum of discussion with the management has been

annexed as Annexure-III. It was stated that after repeated representations the management finally settled their grievances

and all 98 numbers of contract labours involved in this reference were placed under “89 days basis employees” along

with certain facilities. It had also been stated that on the basis of the aforesaid engagement they have been discharging

their duties sincerely to the satisfaction of all concerned. The workmen have been demanding for regularization of their

jobs and in this respect discussion were held between the management and the Employees Union. Thereafter the

660

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

management of NEEPCO conducted interview and exclusively issued call letters to some contract workers on the

promise to regularize their jobs. That on 01.09.1999 the workmen have been appointed as “89 days basis employees”

with pay and other allowance but they had been deprived of other service benefits. In spite of repeated demands, the

management did not regularize their jobs. The grievance was referred to Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central),

Guwahati. Conciliation proceeding was held but the effort of conciliation failed. After aforesaid conciliation failed the

failure report was forwarded to the Ministry whereupon the present reference was sent to this Tribunal for adjudication.

4.

On receipt of the copy of the claim statement the management submitted its written statement wherein it was

stated that for the purpose of installation of Pare Hydro Electric Project under NEEPCO and considering the exigency of

the construction work at different places some persons were engaged on ad-hoc/casual/muster roll etc. basis during the

period from 1988 to 2005 for carrying out various works. The engagement of those workers were continuing by giving

extension from time to time and ultimately considering their long service in NEEPCO as casual workers they were

engaged on “89 days basis” with effect from 1999 after working out the specific requirement of the works in project.

Based on the requirement of work of the project such workers were engaged for a period of 89 days and after the expiry

of 89 days they were further engaged for another period of 89 days. This was going on since many years. It was also

stated that based on the discussion held between the management and the representative of those 89 days workers the

Board of Directors of NEEPCO in its meeting held on 02.09.2016 approved categorization of their engagement status as

work-charge employees subject to the individual undertaking to be submitted by each worker. It was also stated that the

pay, allowance and other benefits were extended to them as were eligible to work-charge workers. It was also stated that

the management extended benefit of basic pay, DA and other allowance to the concerned workers and during the year

2016 all of them were given the status of work-charge employees. According to the management the benefits including

pay and other allowances received by the concerned workmen are almost as that of the regular employees of the similar

rank. The management further stated that the NEEPCO was unable to make any regularization of service except through

recruitment process as per Company’s Recruitment Rules and Regulation. It was further stated that such automatic

regularization of work-charge employees would be in contravention of Hon’ble Supreme Court’s verdict. Since

NEEPCO is a Government undertaking equal opportunity of employment has to be given to all eligible candidates on the

basis principles of public employment.

5.

The management also submitted Addl. Written statement wherein they claimed that at present there is no 89

days personnel in the Company and they have been categorized as work-charge employees. It has also been stated that

pay, allowances and other benefits of work-charge employees are almost at par with the regular employees and hence

their grievances are otherwise met. In view of the development of the aforesaid facts the management prayed for

rejection of the demand raised by the workmen.

6.

Three witnesses were examined on behalf of the workmen side. Management side examined one witness named

Sri N.K.Meitei.

7.

Workmen witness No.1 Shri Likha Ashok, President on behalf of Employees Union stated that along with 97

workers he was also working in NEEPCO as “89 days” employees. He further deposed that initially in the year 1989 the

workmen were appointed as Muster Roll/Casual/Contract Labour and they were paid wages on daily rated basis. It was

also stated that during the period of Muster Roll the management issued call letter to all Muster Roll Employees on

21.5.1989 to face interview for the purpose of regularization of their jobs. But the interview was ultimately not

conducted and in lieu of it the management appointed the concerned workers as 89 days employees on 01.09.1999. It

was also stated that some of the Casual labours/Muster Roll employees were in the mean time regularized by the

management in their jobs. He also stated that the movement for the regularization of 89 days based employees started in

the year 2008 under the banner of Employees Union, Worker Union, Labour Union and NEEPCO Tribal Employees

Welfare Association, RHEP, Yazali. He further stated that after long time the management ultimately engaged the

workmen as work-charge employees. He further stated that their demand for regularization of service was genuine

which was ignored by the management. In his further examination-in-chief the workmen witness No.1 exhibited

documents namely Exhibit-1 to 13 which were admitted as exhibits on admission. Exhibit-15 and 16 are copies of Police

Verification and Blood Report and Exhibit-17 is the copy of death certificate in respect of Tassar Taye which was also

exhibited without any objection by the management. Exhibit-18 is a letter written by the Ministry of Power to the

Chairman & Managing Director, NEEPCO. During cross-examination he admitted that he started to work in RHEP,

NEEPCO originally as Khalasi from the year 1993 and at present, i.e. at the time of his cross-examination, he was

working as Operator and was a work-charge employee. He further admitted that as a work-charge employee he also

received annual increment and that he has been getting other benefits. During his cross-examination he agreed to the

suggestion made by the management that some 89 days employees were also regularly appointed by the management

through Company’s Recruitment Process according to the Company’s Rules. The witness also admitted that the work-

charged employees are now getting gratuity, pension and other benefits and the the concerned workmen were made

work charged employees from October, 2016.

8.

The workmen Witness No.2 Sri Taba Teshi submitted his examination-in-chief on Affidavit simply stating that

the claim made by the “89 days basis employees” are true and they have been giving service for last 22-27 years. During

cross-examination he admitted that he is a regular employee in RHEP, NEEPCO since the year 1996 and that he has

come to depose in this matter on the request of the Union because he along with others are members of the same Trade

Union. He also admitted that he has no personal demand on the matter. The evidence of Workmen witness No.3 is more

or less similar to that of Workmen witness No.2. During cross-examination he admitted that he is an employee of

NEEPCO. He stated that he knew that there were a provision of engaging 89 days employees who were later made work-

charge employees.

9.

The only witness examined for the management side stated that the concerned workmen who were earlier

engaged on each occasion for 89 days and who have since been converted to work-charge employees, have been

demanding for regularization in their services. He further stated that according to his understanding there cannot be any

automatic regularization in any public establishment. He also stated that if any eligible workman, who is not a regular

employee of the Company, participates in a regular recruitment process and qualifies in the process, the management

always provides regular employment to such employee. He further stated that since NEEPCO is a Public Corporation

owned by Government of India, basic public policy of employment is applicable to the Company and there cannot be

any automatic regularization without public advertisement. During cross-examination he denied the suggestion that

management unilaterally and with a bias regularized certain section of other employees ignoring others. He further

denied the suggestion that in the year 1997 all the concerned employees were deprived and only those work-charged

employees like LDC and above were regularized. The witness however admitted that in the year 1998 the concerned

workers were called to shillong to take a test including written and type test. The witness here clarified that after this test

they were engaged as 89 days employees. He also admitted that in the calling letter of examination which was held in the

year 1998 it was mentioned that the examination was for regularization of service. The witness also agreed that if there is

existing vacancy the management will allow all the concerned workmen to appear in the regular test subject to their

eligibility and suitability. The witness however denied that the workmen ought to have been made work-charge

employees from much earlier.

10. The following facts in this matter are not in dispute. Admittedly, the concerned workmen were originally

engaged as casual/contract labour/muster roll employees and later they were made “89 days basis” employees.

Ultimately they were made work-charge employees. On the question of regularization the workmen claimed that they

ought to have been regularized whereas the management took the stand that there could not be any automatic

regularization in any public employment. In this connection W.W No. 1 stated the following during his cross-

examination:- “Earlier we were initially engaged for 89 days and then with a gap of 1/ 2 days we were again engaged

for 89 days. This process continued till we were made work-charge employees. It is a fact that some of the employees

who started working as 89 days employees with one or two days gap have been regularly appointed by the company

through proper recruitment process according to the company’s rules. It is a fact that now work-charge employees are

also getting gratuity, pension and other retirel benefits. We have been made work-charge employees from October,

2016.” From the aforesaid it was evident that the management had already made the concerned workmen work-charge

employees with all related benefits. In regard to regularization it was admitted by the workmen that some of the

“89 days” employees who were regularized got regular appointment through proper recruitment process as per

Company’ Rules. It is an admitted position in law that in public employment there cannot be any automatic

regularization without following the usual recruitment process. The Company involved in this reference is a Government

undertaking. In this connection the following statement of the M.W No.1 may be quoted:- “I agree if there is vacancy

the management will allow all the concerned workmen to appear in the regular test subject to their eligibility and

suitability.”

11. In view of the above it appeared to me that the action of the management in not regularizing the services of the

concerned employees automatically was not unjustified. The reference therefore, stands disposed with a no relief award.

Given under the hand and seal of this Tribunal on this day of 10th August, 2018.

In the present case, a reference was received vide letter No.L-42012/67/2017-IR(DU) dated 30.01.2018 under

clause (d) of sub-section (1) and Section (2A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (in short the Act) for

adjudication of an industrial disputes, terms of which are as under:

Whether the demands of the workmen (mentioned in Annexure A & B) for wages and other benefits of service

conditions at par with the regular employees of DMRC, is legal and/or justified, regularization of service and from which

date are justified legally and what directions are necessary in the case, whether the action of the management of M/s

NCES, the contractor working for DMRC in charging security money from the workmen (mentioned in Annexure A and

B) and charges for renewal of identity card is legal and/or justified and what directions are required in the case?’

2.

In the reference order, the appropriate Government commanded the party/ies raising the dispute to file statement

of claim, complete with relevant documents, list of reliance and witnesses with this Tribunal within 15 days of receipt of

the reference order and to forward a copy of such statement of claim to the opposite parties involved in the dispute.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Despite directions so given, Shri Sachin Upadhyay & others, the workmen, opted not to file his claim statement with the

Tribunal.

3.

Further, on receipt of the above reference, notice was also sent to the workmen as well as the management.

Neither the postal article, referred above, was received back undelivered nor was it observed by the Tribunal that postal

services remained affected during the period, referred above. Therefore, every presumption lies in favour of the fact that

the above notice was served upon the workmen. Despite service of the notice, the workmen opted to abstain from the

proceedings. No claim statement was filed on their behalf. Thus, it is clear that the workmen are not interested in

adjudication of the reference on merits.

4.

Since the workmen have neither put in their appearance nor have they led any evidence so as to prove their

cause against the management, as such, this Tribunal is left with no choice, except to pass a ‘No Dispute/Claim’ award.

However, it will not debar Shri Sachin Upadhyay & others, the workmen from seeking relief afresh as there is no

adjudication of the reference on merits. An award is, accordingly, passed. Let this award be sent to the appropriate

Government, as required under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, for publication.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its

letter No.L-42011/37/2012-IR(DU) dated 5th October, 2012 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Sanjeev Kumar

S/o. Badlu Ram, Helper despite rendering service for more than 18 years continuously is justified ? If not, what

relief the said workman is entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Sanjeev Kumar filed his statement of claim, with the averments

that he was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Maali) on muster roll basis w.e.f. March, 1993 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested the

Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee chalked

out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such workmen/employees

whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence. Though some of the

workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been deprived of his

legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several times for grant

of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as per career

development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his promotion;

(b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for extension of all

amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the claimant

becomes entitled, consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager on 2/3/1993. Consequent upon agitation of such casual daily

wage workers in the year 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 was reduced

into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers would be

considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their seniority &

performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time including those

dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and applications were

called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected

against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no automatic right for

absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though efforts on the part of

Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation

Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also

alleged that the claimant, being 6th standard pass, does not possess the minimum essential qualifications of 10th standard

pass for selection even against an entry level Group D post in the regular employment of the Management. The

engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of work which was

extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded and unjustified.

Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 23/04/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by

the Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce

their evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1. In cross examination he stated that he is educated upto 7th standard and was

engaged as Helper without any advertisement. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualification has been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post of Maali

and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on recruitment of non

teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen whose

names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized as

Helper from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also

being an illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at

666

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Sl.No.80 (Tara Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted

that the claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as Helper on daily wage/ casual basis by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1993 and he has been discharging duties as assigned to him. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of service, the

quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a person is a workman

within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not make any distinction between full

time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There is nothing in the plain language of Section

2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on regular basis or a person employed for doing whole

time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary, part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual

employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant on contract/casual basis for doing work of

Maali, is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. It is not in dispute

that the workman/claimant is still working on contractual engagement under Y-1 category and is paid fixed monthly

emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid minimum in the scale without any increment or

promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitle to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India 2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the Labour

Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person, only on

the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry into the service

which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be given when the concerned

worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the Recruitment Rules. However,

wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the employer itself under some scheme or

otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them,

direction of regularization in such cases may be legally justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over

workers itself would amount to invidious discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article

14 of the Constitution. Thus, the Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14

rather than violating this constitutional provision.”

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/ regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Document/notification dated 27/3/1997 & 13/6/1995 (Ex.MW1/5 colly) issued by University of Roorki shows that for

the post of Survey Tindal & Maali in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that

the incumbent should be literate (having knowledge of reading & writing) with knowledge of keeping the

equipments/furniture etc.. It shows that the workman/claimant who was engaged in the year 1993 was eligible to be

considered for the said post of Helper and at that time it was not required that the incumbent should be 10th class pass, as

has been pleaded by the Management. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy

Registrar (Legal) that the Management has appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were/are

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

667

similarly placed with the claimant on the issue of literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand

(mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal (at Sl.No.31 and Tara Chand (at Sl.No.80) being all illiterate are few of them and they

have been placed in the regular pay-scale. Perusal of the said list also shows that there are other workmen who are

illiterate but have been regularized as group-D for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to

the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to 89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been

regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman who is 7th standard

pass is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the scale and that is to say that the

workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as work-

charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial parameters to deny

fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another, who performs the same

duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides being demeaning, strikes at the very

foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does

so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at

the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser

wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative

enslavement, emerging out of a domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive,

as it compels involuntary subjugation ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Sanjeev Kumar, Helper despite rendering service for more than 25 years continuously is

unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Helper.

15)

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 05/10/2012. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Mali in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post from 05/10/2012.with all consequential

benefits viz. annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Helper w.e.f. 05/10/2012 in the regular pay-scale of Helper, with all consequential benefits and arrears of the same be

also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its letter

No.L-42012/62/2012/IR(DU) dated 08.11.2012 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Raj Kumar (sic Raj

Kumari) w/o. Shri Halu Ram, despite rendering service for more than 20 years continuously is justified ? If not,

what relief the said workman is entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Raj Kumari filed her statement of claim, with the averments that

she was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Sweeper) on muster roll basis we.f. July, 1992 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. The workman

requested the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT

Roorkee chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

per career development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his

promotion; (b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for

extension of all amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the

claimant becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager on 4/2/1992. Consequent upon agitation of such casual daily

wage workers in the year 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was reduced

into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers would be

considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their seniority &

performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time including those

dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and applications were

called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected

against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no automatic right for

absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though efforts on the part of

Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation

Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommdation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also alleged

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

669

that the claimant (who is only 7th class pass) does not possess the minimum essential qualifications of 10th standard pass

for selection even against an entry level Group D/MTS post in the regular employment of the Management and as such

the workman is not eligible to become a permanent & regular employee of the Management. The engagement of the

claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of work which was extended from

time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded and unjustified . Prayer has been

made for dismissal of the claim petition.

Vide order dated 11/7/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of her case examined herself as WW1 who tendered her affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 and Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination she admitted that she is 7th standard pass and

was engaged as Safai Karamchari without any advertisement. She also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the

Management; conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 261 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and

that the Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. She also admitted that for different

posts, minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, she had also applied for the post

of Safai Karamchari, interview letter was issued and she was called for an interview but her name was not in the merit

list prepared by the University.. She also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y

Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection process for their absorption. She denied the suggestion

that she is not entitled to get wages in a regular pay scale as a matter of right.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized as

Maali from the list of Y pol. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being

an illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80

(Tara Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as Helper on daily wage/ casual basis by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1992 and she has been discharging duties as assigned to her. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of service, the

quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a person is a workman

within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not make any distinction between full

time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There is nothing in the plain language of Section

2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on regular basis or a person employed for doing whole

time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary, part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual

employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimants as part time for doing intermittent nature

of work and/or for cleaning the bank premises is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence

adduced on record. It is undisputed fact that the workman/claimant still working on contractual engagement under Y-1

category and is being paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of her services, that is to say that she is being paid

minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitled to claim regularization if he/she is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India 2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

670

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Document/notification dated 27/3/1997 (Ex.MW1/5) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Helper/Peon in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent should

be 8th class pass. The said notification was issued after engagement/employment of the who was engaged in the year

1992 and there is nothing on record to suggest that at the time when the claimant was engaged/employed, the

requirement of education of 8th class pass was desirable. The claimant/workman is still under the employment of the

Management. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the

Management has appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were similarly placed with the

claimant on the issue of literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21),

Mahipal (at Sl.No.31 and Tara Chand (at Sl.No.80) are few of them and they have been placed in the regular pay-scale.

On the contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the scale and

that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are doing the

same/equal work. To my mind, the claimant is entitled to get same pay/wages on the cardinal principle of “equal pay

for equal work”

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as work-

charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial parameters to deny

fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another, who performs the same

duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides being demeaning, strikes at the very

foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does

so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at

the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser

wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative

enslavement, emerging out of a domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive,

as it compels involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Ms. Raj Kumari w/o. Shri Hallu Ram, despite rendering continuous service of about 25 years

is unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Helper.

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that she had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for regularization of her services, nor she has filed any

such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties, the reference to

this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 8/11/2012. In these circumstances, this

Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of regularization to the post of

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

671

Helper in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post w.e.f.8/11/2012, with all consequential benefits viz. annual

increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Mali w.e.f. 8/11/2012 in the regular pay-scale of Helper/Group-D employee, with all consequential benefits and arrears

of the same be also paid to her. The Award is passed accordingly.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Suresh filed his statement of claim, with the averments that he was

inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper (Maali) on

muster roll basis we.f. July, 1993 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested the Management

for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee chalked out a plan

under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such workmen/employees whose

names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence. Though some of the workmen

who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been deprived of his legitimate right

of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several times for grant of such benefits

but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as per career development policy

for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his promotion; (b) for payment of

arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for extension of all amenities &

facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the claimant becomes entitled

consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager on 5/7/1993. Consequent upon agitation of such casual daily

wage workers in the year 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 was reduced

into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers would be

considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their seniority &

performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time including those

dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and applications were

called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected

against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no automatic right for

absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though efforts on the part of

Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation

Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also

alleged that the claimant, who had shown his qualification as 5th class at the time of registration in Y Pool in October,

1993 but had claimed himself to be 8th standard passed before the Conciliation Officer, does not possess the minimum

essential qualifications of 10th standard pass for selection even against an entry level Group D post in the regular

employment of the Management. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary

basis and in exigencies of work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of

his services is ill founded and unjustified. Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 8/10/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 and Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination he stated that he is 5th standard pass and was

engaged as Maali without any advertisement. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post of

Maali and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on recruitment

of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen

whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection process for their

absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized as

Maali from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being

an illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80

(Tara Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as Helper (Maali on daily wage/ casual basis by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

673

under the employment of the Management since the year 1993 and he has been discharging duties as assigned to him.

As such, it clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard,

reference can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme

Courtt 2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals

with the definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of service, the

quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a person is a workman

within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not make any distinction between full

time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There is nothing in the plain language of Section

2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on regular basis or a person employed for doing whole

time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary, part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual

employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant on contract/casual basis for doing the work

of Maali, is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. It is not in dispute

that the workman/claimant is still working on contractual engagement under Y-1 category and is paid fixed monthly

emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid minimum in the scale without any increment or

promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitle to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the Labour

Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person, only on

the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry into the service

which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be given when the concerned

worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the Recruitment Rules. However,

wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the employer itself under some scheme or

otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them,

direction of regularization in such cases may be legally justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over

workers itself would amount to invidious discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article

14 of the Constitution. Thus, the Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14

rather than violating this constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/ regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Document/notification dated 27/3/1997 (Ex.MW1/5 colly) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Maali in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent should be

literate (having knowledge of reading & writing) with two years experience of the work of Mali. It shows that the

workman/claimant who was engaged in the year 1993 was eligible to be considered for the said post of Mali and at that

time it was not required that the incumbent should be 10th class pass, as has been pleaded by the Management. It is also

evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has

appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were/are similarly placed with the claimant on the issue

674

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

of literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal (at Sl.No.31

and Tara Chand (at Sl.No.80) being all illiterate are few of them and they have been placed in the regular pay-scale.

Perusal of the said list also shows that there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D

for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to

89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-

scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman who is 5th standard pass is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at

the minimum of the scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are

similarly placed and are doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as work-

charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial parameters to deny

fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another, who performs the same

duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides being demeaning, strikes at the very

foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does

so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at

the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser

wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative

enslavement, emerging out of a domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive,

as it compels involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Suresh, Helper (Mali) despite rendering service for more than 25 years continuously is

unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Mali.

14)

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 8/11/2012. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Mali in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post from 8/11/2012 with all consequential

benefits viz. annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Mali w.e.f. 8/11/2012 in the regular pay-scale of Helper (Maali), with all consequential benefits and arrears of the same

be also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

…Management/ Respondent

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its

letter No.L-42011/118/2012/IR(DU) dated 5th/9th October, 2012 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 action of management of Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee for not regularizing the workman

Shri Ramesh, Beldar is justified ? If not, what relief the said workman is entitled to ?’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Ramesh filed his statement of claim, with the averments that he

was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Beldar on

muster roll basis we.f. November, 1988 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested the

Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee chalked

out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such workmen/employees

whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence. Though some of the

workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been deprived of his

legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several times for grant

of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as per career

development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his promotion;

(b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for extension of all

amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the claimant

becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager and the claimant was assigned the work of Beldar. Consequent

upon agitation of such casual daily wage workers in September 1988, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated

22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was reduced into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that

the such daily wage workers would be considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications

and on the basis of their seniority & performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines.

Advertisement from time to time including those dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for

regular vacancies were issued and applications were called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of

total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and

experience. There was no automatic right for absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or

contract workers. Though efforts on the part of Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the

Management with the sole intention to accommodation Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the

Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the

same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities

viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity, accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including

676

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

the claimant. It is also alleged that the claimant (who is an illiterate) was/is otherwise illegible for selection as a regular

employee of the Management (IIT Roorkee).. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and

temporary basis and in exigencies of work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for

regularization of his services is ill founded and unjustified . Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 5/6/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 and Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination he deposed that he is 5th pass and was

engaged as daily wager without any advertisement. He clarified that an incumbent for the post of Beldar should have

been 5th standard pass. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management; conducting of

test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the Management had

recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts, minimum

qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post of Maali and he

was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on recruitment of non

teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen whose

names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized

from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being an

illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80 (Tara

Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as daily wager/ casual worker by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1988 and he has been discharging duties as assigned to him. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of service, the

quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a person is a workman

within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not make any distinction between full

time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There is nothing in the plain language of Section

2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on regular basis or a person employed for doing whole

time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary, part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual

employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant as daily wager for doing intermittent nature

of work is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. The

workman/claimant Ramesh, having been working continuously since the year 1988 on contractual engagement/daily

wage basis under Y-1 category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being

paid minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitle to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the Labour

Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

677

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person, only on

the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry into the service

which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be given when the concerned

worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the Recruitment Rules. However,

wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the employer itself under some scheme or

otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them,

direction of regularization in such cases may be legally justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over

workers itself would amount to invidious discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article

14 of the Constitution. Thus, the Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14

rather than violating this constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers & had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Documents/notifications dated 24/8/1994 & 27/3/1997 (Ex.MW1/5 colly.) issued by University of Roorki shows that for

the post of Safai Karmchari/ Maali in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that

the incumbent should be literate (having knowledge of reading & writing) with two years experience of the said work.

The job of the Beldar which work the claimant has been performing, can be equated with the work of Safai

Karamchari/Maali. The claimant is 5the class pass, It shows that the workman/claimant who was engaged in the year

1988 was eligible to be considered for the said post of Safai Karamchari/Beldar and at that time it was not required that

the incumbent should be 10th class pass for selection as MTS worker, as has been pleaded by the Management. It is also

evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has

appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were similarly placed with the claimant as regards

literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand, Maali (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal. Survey

Tindal (at Sl.No.31), Shri Brijesh, Safai Karamchari (at Sl.No.56) and Tara Chand, Helper (at Sl.No.80) who are

illiterate but have been placed in the regular pay-scale. Perusal of the said list also shows that there are other workmen

who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be

made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to 89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have

been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid

wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid

lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as work-

charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial parameters to deny

fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another, who performs the same

duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides being demeaning, strikes at the very

foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does

so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at

the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser

wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative

enslavement, emerging out of a domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive,

as it compels involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Ram Prakat s/o. Shri Punnoo, Mali despite rendering service for more than 35 years

continuously is unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Mali.

14)

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 5th October, 2012. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

678

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

regularization to the post of Helper/Beldar in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post from 5th October, 2012 with

all consequential benefits viz.annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical

facility etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Mali w.e.f. 5/10/2012 in the regular pay-scale of Helper, with all consequential benefits and arrears of the same be also

paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Rachna filed her statement of claim, with the averments that she

was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Sweeper) on muster roll basis we.f. July, 1992 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. The workman

requested the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT

Roorkee chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager on 4/2/1992. Consequent upon agitation of such casual daily

wage workers in the year 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was reduced

into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers would be

considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their seniority &

dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and applications were

called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected

against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no automatic right for

absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though efforts on the part of

Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation

Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommdation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also alleged

that the claimant (who is only 7th class pass) does not possess the minimum essential qualifications of 10th standard pass

for selection even against an entry level Group D/MTS post in the regular employment of the Management and as such

the workman is not eligible to become a permanent & regular employee of the Management. The engagement of the

claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of work which was extended from

time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded and unjustified . Prayer has been

made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 11/7/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of her case examined herself as WW1 who tendered her affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 and Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination she admitted that she is 4th standard pass and

was engaged as Safai Karamchari without any advertisement. She also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the

Management; conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and

that the Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. She also admitted that for different

posts, minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, she had also applied for the post

of Safai Karamchari, interview letter was issued and she was called for an interview but her name was not in the merit

list prepared by the University.. She also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y

Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection process for their absorption. She denied the suggestion

that she is not entitled to get wages in a regular pay scale as a matter of right.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized as

Maali from the list of Y pol. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being

an illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80

(Tara Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as Helper on daily wage/ casual basis by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

680

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

employment of the Management since the year 1992 and she has been discharging duties as assigned to her. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of service, the

quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a person is a workman

within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not make any distinction between full

time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There is nothing in the plain language of Section

2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on regular basis or a person employed for doing whole

time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary, part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual

employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimants as part time for doing intermittent nature

of work and/or for cleaning the bank premises is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence

adduced on record. It is undisputed fact that the workman/claimant still working on contractual engagement under Y-1

category and is being paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of her services, that is to say that she is being paid

minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitled to claim regularization if he/she is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the Labour

Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person, only on

the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry into the service

which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be given when the concerned

worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the Recruitment Rules. However,

wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the employer itself under some scheme or

otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them,

direction of regularization in such cases may be legally justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over

workers itself would amount to invidious discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article

14 of the Constitution. Thus, the Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14

rather than violating this constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Document/notification dated 27/3/1997 (Ex.MW1/5) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Helper/Peon in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent should

be 8th class pass. The said notification was issued after engagement/employment of the who was engaged in the year

1992 and there is nothing on record to suggest that at the time when the claimant was engaged/employed, the

requirement of education of 8th class pass was desirable. The claimant/workman is still under the employment of the

Management. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the

Management has appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were similarly placed with the

claimant on the issue of literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21),

Mahipal (at Sl.No.31 and Tara Chand (at Sl.No.80) are few of them and they have been placed in the regular pay-scale.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

681

Perusal of the said list also shows that there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D

for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to

89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-

scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the

scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are

doing the same/equal work. To my mind, the claimant is entitled to get same pay/wages on the cardinal principle of

“equal pay for equal work”

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as work-

charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial parameters to deny

fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another, who performs the same

duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides being demeaning, strikes at the very

foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does

so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at

the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser

wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative

enslavement, emerging out of a domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive,

as it compels involuntary subjugation.’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Ms. Raj Kumari w/o. Shri Hallu Ram, despite rendering continuous service of about 25 years

is unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Helper (Sweeper).

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that she had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for regularization of her services, nor she has filed any

such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties, the reference to

this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 8/11/2012. In these circumstances, this

Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of regularization to the post of

Helper in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post w.e.f.8/11/2012, with all consequential benefits viz. annual

increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Mali w.e.f. 8/11/2012 in the regular pay-scale of Helper/Group-D employee, with all consequential benefits and arrears

of the same be also paid to her. The Award is passed accordingly.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its letter

No.L-42012/59/2012-IR(DU) dated 8/11/2012 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman despite rendering for more than 22

years continuously is justified ? If not, to what relief the said workman is entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Sangeeta Khati filed her statement of claim, with the averments

that she was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as

Technical Assistant on muster roll basis w.e.f August, 1990 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He

requested the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT

Roorkee chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

per career development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his

promotion; (b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for

extension of all amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the

claimant becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management on 9/9/1991 on contract basis for a fixed term of one year as Technical Assistant “B” in

the Electronics & Communication Engg. Department. Consequent upon agitation of such casual daily wage workers in

1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was reduced into writing in the

presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers would be considered for

appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their seniority & performance/merit

as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time including those dated 24/10/94,

21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and applications were called from Y-

Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected against the regular

posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no automatic right for absorption or fresh

appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. The claimant had applied for the post of Routine

clerk against advertisement dated 21/11/1994 and for the post of Laboratory Assistant. She was called for interview but

was not finally selected/short listed due to inadequate experience in the relevant field. Though efforts on the part of

Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation

Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also

alleged that the claimant was/is otherwise illegible for selection as a regular employee of the Management (IIT

Roorkee).. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of

work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded

and unjustified . Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 11/7/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 to Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination she deposed that she is Science Graduate

besides a post graduate diploma in computers. She admitted that she was engaged as technical assistant without any

advertisement. She clarified that an incumbent for the post of Technical Assistant should be science graduate. She also

admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management; conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for

the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y

pool List. She also admitted that for different posts, minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the

advertised post, she had also applied for the post of clerk and Lab.Assistant and that she was interviewed. She showed

her ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on recruitment of non teaching staff vide orders dated

3/11/97 and 9/12/97. She admitted having applied for the post of clerk as well as Lab Assistant against the

advertisement issued by the Management but was not short listed/selected. She also admitted that all eligible

claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection

process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized

from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being an

illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80 (Tara

Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as daily wager/ casual worker by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1987 and he has been discharging duties of Pump Operator. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Court

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of service, the

quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a person is a workman

within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not make any distinction between full

time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There is nothing in the plain language of Section

2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on regular basis or a person employed for doing whole

time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary, part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual

employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant as daily wager for doing intermittent nature

of work is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. The

workman/claimant having been working continuously since the year 1987 on contractual engagement/daily wage basis

under Y-1 category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid

minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitled to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the Labour

Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person, only on

the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry into the service

which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be given when the concerned

worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the Recruitment Rules. However,

wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the employer itself under some scheme or

684

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached Industrial/Labour Court are at par with them,

direction of regularization in such cases may be legally justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over

workers itself would amount to invidious discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article

14 of the Constitution. Thus, the Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14

rather than violating this constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that pursuant to agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers & had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Documents/notifications dated 2111/1994 (Ex.MW1/5 colly.) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Junior Technical Assistant in the pay-scale of Rs.1400-2600/-, eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the

incumbent should be B.Sc. or Diploma (3 Years Course) with three years experience in the said field/line. The claimant

is Science Graduate. It shows that the workman/claimant who was engaged in the year 1990 and is working as Technical

Assistant since then, has got requisite experience by now. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender

Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has appointed/regularized the services of various other

workers who were similarly placed with the claimant as regards literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4).

Shri Bal Chand, Maali (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal. Survey Tindal (at Sl.No.31), Shri Brijesh, Safai Karamchari (at

Sl.No.56) and Tara Chand, Helper (at Sl.No.80) who are illiterate but have been placed in the regular pay-scale.

Perusal of the said list also shows that Vinod Kumar s/o. Madho Ram (at Sl.No.176), having educational qualification

of 12th standard & Praveen Kumar s/o. SS Ahuja having Diploma (Mech.) having been regularized/appointed for the

post of Lab Assistants and they are being paid wages in the regular pay-scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman is

being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is

being paid lesser pay than those who is similarly placed and is doing the same/equal work. This action of the

Management is discriminatory and not justified.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Sangeeta Khati despite rendering service for more than 28 years continuously is unjustified

and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Pump Operator.

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 8/11/2012. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Technical Assistant in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post, w.e.f. 8/11/2012 with

all consequential benefits viz.annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical

facility etc.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its letter

No.L-42011/122/2012/IR(DU) dated 7/1/2013 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Sita Ram Semwal

S/o. Shri Seesh Ram, Chowkidar despite rendering for more than 24 years is justified ? If not, what relief the

said workman is entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Sita Ram Semwal filed his statement of claim, with the averments

that he was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Watch & Ward) on muster roll basis we.f. April, 1988 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He

686

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

requested the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT

Roorkee chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

per career development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his

promotion; (b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for

extension of all amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the

claimant becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management in April, 1988 as unskilled casual daily wage worker. Consequent upon agitation of such

casual daily wage workers in 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was

reduced into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers

would be considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their

seniority & performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time

including those dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and

applications were called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were

recruited/selected against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no

automatic right for absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. The claimant

had applied for the post of Library Assistant against advertisement dated 20/9/1999; for the post of Peon against posts

advertised on 22/3/97 and against the post of Worker Grade-C in Mechanical & Indl.Engg. Department against

advertisement dated 27/8/1996.. He was called for interview but was not selected/short listed due to inadequate

experience in the relevant field. Though efforts on the part of Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on

but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before

the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the

same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities

viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity, accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including

the claimant. It is also alleged that the claimant was/is otherwise illegible for selection as a regular employee of the

Management (IIT Roorkee).. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis

and in exigencies of work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his

services is ill founded and unjustified . Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 10/9/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 to Ex.WW1/3. In cross examination he deposed that he is 8th standard pass. He

admitted that he was engaged as Helper on daily wage basis without any advertisement. He clarified that an incumbent

for the post of helper should be 8th class pass. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualifications have been prescribed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban

on recruitment of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible

claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection

process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized

from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being an

illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80 (Tara

Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as daily wager/ casual worker by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1987 and he has been discharging duties of Pump Operator. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

687

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant as daily wager for doing intermittent nature

of work is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. The

workman/claimant having been working continuously since the year 1987 on contractual engagement/daily wage basis

under Y-1 category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid

minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitled to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that pursuant to agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers & had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Documents/notifications dated 27/8/1996 (Ex.MW1/5 colly.) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Peon /Workshop attendant in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/-, eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the

incumbent should be 8th class pass, The claimant is 8th class pass, It shows that the workman/claimant who was engaged

in the year 1988 is working as Helper/Chowkidar since then. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender

Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has appointed/regularized the services of various other

workers who were similarly placed with the claimant as regards literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4).

Shri Bal Chand, Maali (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal. Survey Tindal (at Sl.No.31), Shri Brijesh, Safai Karamchari (at

Sl.No.56) and Tara Chand, Helper (at Sl.No.80) who are illiterate but have been placed in the regular pay-scale.

Perusal of the said list also shows that there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D

for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85

688

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

to 89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular

pay-scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the

scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are

doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation.’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman/claimant despite rendering service for more than 30 years continuously is unjustified and

unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Helper (chowkidar).

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 7/1/2013. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Helper/Chowkidar in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post, w.e.f. 7/1/2013 with all

consequential benefits viz. annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility

etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Helper/Chowkidar w.e.f. 7/1/2013 in the regular pay-scale, with all consequential benefits and arrears of the same be

also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its letter

No. L-42011/120/2012/IR(DU) dated 7/1/2013 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Puran Chand s/o. Shri Mal Chand,

Mate despite rendering for more than 24 years is justified ? If not, what relief the said workman is entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Sita Ram Semwal filed his statement of claim, with the averments

that he was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Mate) on muster roll basis we.f. February, 1988 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested

the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee

chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

per career development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his

promotion; (b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for

extension of all amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the

claimant becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management in March, 1988 as unskilled casual daily wage worker. Consequent upon agitation of

such casual daily wage workers in 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was

reduced into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers

would be considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their

seniority & performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time

including those dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and

applications were called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were

recruited/selected against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no

automatic right for absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though

efforts on the part of Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole

intention to accommodation Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board

of Governors for absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also

alleged that the claimant was/is otherwise illegible for selection as a regular employee of the Management (IIT

Roorkee).. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of

work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded

and unjustified . Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 12/8/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 to Ex.WW1/3. In cross examination he deposed that he is 8th standard pass. He

admitted that he was engaged as Mate on daily wage basis without any advertisement. He clarified that an incumbent for

the post of Mate should be 8th class pass. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

690

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post of

Maali and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on recruitment

of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He admitted having applied for the post of clerk as well as

Library Attendant against the advertisement issued by the Management but was not short listed/selected. He also

admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to

participate in the selection process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized

from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being an

illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80 (Tara

Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as daily wager/ casual worker by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1987 and he has been discharging duties of Pump Operator. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant as daily wager for doing intermittent nature

of work is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. The

workman/claimant having been working continuously since the year 1987 on contractual engagement/daily wage basis

under Y-1 category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid

minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitled to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India 2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

691

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that pursuant to agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers & had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Documents/notifications dated 27/8/1996 (Ex.MW1/5 colly.) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Peon /Helper in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/-, eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent should

be 8th class pass, The claimant is 8th class pass, It shows that the workman/claimant who was engaged in the year 1988

is working as Helper/Mate since then. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy

Registrar (Legal) that the Management has appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were

similarly placed with the claimant as regards literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand,

Maali (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal. Survey Tindal (at Sl.No.31), Shri Brijesh, Safai Karamchari (at Sl.No.56) and

Tara Chand, Helper (at Sl.No.80) who are illiterate but have been placed in the regular pay-scale. Perusal of the said

list also shows that there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D for the post of

Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to 89, 108, 114,

117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-scale. On the

contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the scale and that is

to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are doing the

same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial parameters to

deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another, who performs the

same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides being demeaning, strikes at

the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily.

He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self

worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept

the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative

enslavement, emerging out of a domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive,

as it compels involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Ravinder Kumar Yadav despite rendering service for more than 30 years continuously is

unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Pump Operator.

14)

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 7/1/2013. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Helper/Mate in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post, w.e.f. 7/1/2013 with all

consequential benefits viz.annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility

etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Helper/Mate w.e.f. 7/1/2013 in the regular pay-scale of Telephone Operator, with all consequential benefits and arrears

of the same be also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its letter

No.L-42011/118/2012/IR(DU) dated 7.1.2013 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Ram Prakat

S/o. Shri Punnoo, Mali despite rendering service for more than 29 years continuously is justified ? If not, what

relief the said workman is entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Ram Prakat filed his statement of claim, with the averments that

he was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Maali) on muster roll basis w.e.f. June, 1983 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested the

Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee chalked

out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such workmen/employees

whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence. Though some of the

workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been deprived of his

legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several times for grant

of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as per career

development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his promotion;

(b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for extension of all

amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the claimant

becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager I June, 1983. Consequent upon agitation of such casual daily

wage workers in the year 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was reduced

into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers would be

considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their seniority &

performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time including those

dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and applications were

called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected

against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no automatic right for

absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though efforts on the part of

Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation

Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommdation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also alleged

that the claimant (who is an illiterate) does not possess the minimum essential qualifications of 10th standard pass for

selection even against an entry level Group D post (post of Maali) in the regular employment of the Management. The

claimant had applied for internal advertised post of Maali and was called for interview held on 5/9/97 but he could not

get a place in the merit list. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and

in exigencies of work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services

is ill founded and unjustified . Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 12/8/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 and Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination he admitted that he is illiterate and was

engaged as Maali without any advertisement. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 261 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post of

Maali and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on recruitment

of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen

whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection process for their

absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized as

Maali from the list of Y pol. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being

an illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80

(Tara Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as Maali on daily wage/ casual basis by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1983 and he has been discharging duties as assigned to him. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

694

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimants as part time for doing intermittent nature

of work and/or for cleaning the bank premises is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence

adduced on record. Office Memo Ex.MW1/W-2 shows that the workman/claimant Ram Prakat still working on

contractual engagement under Y-1 category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say

that he is being paid minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitle to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Document/notification dated 27/3/1997 (Ex.MW1/5) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of Maali in

the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent should be literate

(having knowledge of reading & writing) with two years experience of the work of Mali. It shows that the

workman/claimant who was engaged in the year 1983 was eligible to be considered for the said post of Mali and at that

time it was not required that the incumbent should be 10th class pass, as has been pleaded by the Management. It is also

evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has

appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were similarly placed with the claimant on the issue of

literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal (at Sl.No.31 and

Tara Chand (at Sl.No.80) are few of them and they have been placed in the regular pay-scale. Perusal of the said list also

shows that there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D for the post of Helper,

Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to 89, 108, 114, 117,

139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-scale. On the

contrary, the claimant/workman who is 5th standard pass is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum

of the scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and

are doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

695

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Ram Prakat s/o. Shri Punnoo, Mali despite rendering service for more than 35 years

continuously is unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Mali.

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 7/1/2013. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Mali in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post from 7th January, 2013 with all

consequential benefits viz.annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility

etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Mali w.e.f. 7/1/2013 in the regular pay-scale of MTS/Group-D Employee, with all consequential benefits and arrears of

the same be also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its letter

No.L-42011/121/2012/IR(DU) dated 7/1/2013 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Ravindra Kumar Yadav

s/o. Shri Sheetal Prasad Yadav, Pump Operator despite rendering for more than 29 years is justified ? If not,

what relief the said workman is entitled to ?’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Ravinder Kumar Yadav filed his statement of claim, with the

averments that he was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee)

as Pump Operator on muster roll basis we.f. August, 1987 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He

requested the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT

Roorkee chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

per career development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his

promotion; (b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for

extension of all amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the

claimant becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management in August, 1987 as unskilled casual daily wage worker. Consequent upon agitation of

such casual daily wage workers in 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was

reduced into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers

would be considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their

seniority & performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time

including those dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and

applications were called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were

recruited/selected against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no

automatic right for absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. The claimant

had applied for the post of Library Assistant against advertisement dated 20/9/1999; for the post of Peon against posts

advertised on 22/3/97 and against the post of Worker Grade-C in Mechanical & Indl.Engg. Department against

advertisement dated 27/8/1996.. He was called for interview but was not selected/short listed due to inadequate

experience in the relevant field. Though efforts on the part of Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on

but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before

the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the

same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities

viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity, accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including

the claimant. It is also alleged that the claimant was/is otherwise illegible for selection as a regular employee of the

Management (IIT Roorkee).. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis

and in exigencies of work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his

services is ill founded and unjustified . Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 12/8/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 to Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination he deposed that he is 8th standard pass and had

annexed a certificate to this effect alongwith his application submitted for engagement with the Management. He

admitted that he was engaged as telephone operator without any advertisement. He clarified that an incumbent for the

post of telephone Operator should be literate. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post of

Library Assistant and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on

recruitment of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He admitted having applied for the post of clerk

as well as Library Attendant against the advertisement issued by the Management but was not short listed/selected. He

also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity

to participate in the selection process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized

from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being an

illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80 (Tara

Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as daily wager/ casual worker by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1987 and he has been discharging duties of Pump Operator. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant as daily wager for doing intermittent nature

of work is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. The

workman/claimant having been working continuously since the year 1987 on contractual engagement/daily wage basis

under Y-1 category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid

minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitled to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

698

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that pursuant to agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers & had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Documents/notifications dated 27/8/1996 (Ex.MW1/5 colly.) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Worker Grade-C in the pay-scale of Rs.775-1025/- as well as Workshop attendant in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/-,

eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent should be 8th class pass & having 1 years experience

in the said field/line. The claimant is 8th class pass, It shows that the workman/claimant who was engaged in the year

1987 and is working as Pump operator since then, has got requisite experience by now. It is also evident from the

testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has appointed/regularized the

services of various other workers who were similarly placed with the claimant as regards literacy, were named in the Y

Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand, Maali (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal. Survey Tindal (at Sl.No.31), Shri

Brijesh, Safai Karamchari (at Sl.No.56) and Tara Chand, Helper (at Sl.No.80) who are illiterate but have been placed

in the regular pay-scale. Perusal of the said list also shows that one Shri Kalyan Singh (at Sl.No.25) having educational

qualification of 8th class pass having been regularized/appointed is being paid wages in the regular pay-scale. On the

contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the scale and that is

to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who is similarly placed and is doing the same/equal

work. This action of the Management is discriminatory and not justified.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Ravinder Kumar Yadav despite rendering service for more than 30 years continuously is

unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Pump Operator.

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 7/1/2013. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Telephone Operator in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post, w.e.f. 7/1/2013 with all

consequential benefits viz.annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility

etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Mali w.e.f. 7/1/2013 in the regular pay-scale of Telephone Operator, with all consequential benefits and arrears of the

same be also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its letter

No.L-42011/90/2012-IR(DU) dated 12th November, 2012 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the services of Shri Chandrabhan s/o.

Deewan, Attendant, despite rendering service for more than 30 years continuously is justified ? If not, what

relief the said workman is entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Chander Bhan filed his statement of claim, with the averments

that he was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Electrician) on muster roll basis w.e.f. April, 1982 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested

the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee

700

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

per career development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his

promotion; (b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for

extension of all amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the

claimant becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager on 1/5/1982. Consequent upon agitation of such casual daily

wage workers in the year 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 was reduced

into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers would be

considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their seniority &

performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time including those

dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and applications were

called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected

against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no automatic right for

absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though efforts on the part of

Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation

Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. The

engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of work which was

extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded and unjustified.

Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 05/06/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by

the Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce

their evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 and Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination he stated that he is 5th standard pass and was

engaged as Helper without any advertisement. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post of

Library Attendant and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on

recruitment of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible

claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection

process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized as

Maali from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being

an illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80

(Tara Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as Helper (Maali) on daily wage/ casual basis by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been

under the employment of the Management since the year 1987 and he has been discharging duties as assigned to him.

As such, it clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard,

reference can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme

Courtt 2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals

with the definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

701

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant on contract/casual basis for doing the work

of Maali, is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. It is not in dispute

that the workman/claimant is still working on contractual engagement under Y-1 category and is paid fixed monthly

emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid minimum in the scale without any increment or

promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitle to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/ regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers and had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Document/notification dated 13/6/1995 (Ex.MW1/5 colly) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Helper/Survey Tindal in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent

should be literate having knowledge to upkeep the equipments/furniture etc.. It shows that the workman/claimant who

was engaged in the year 1982 was eligible to be considered for the said post of Helper and at the later stage in the year

1995-96 when vacancies arose, he had got requisite experience in the line. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1

Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has appointed/regularized the services of various

other workers who were/are similarly placed with the claimant on the issue of literacy and were named in the Y Pool list

(Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal (at Sl.No.31 and Tara Chand (at Sl.No.80) being all

illiterate are few of them and they have been placed in the regular pay-scale. Perusal of the said list also shows that

there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali

etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to 89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of

the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-scale. On the contrary, the

702

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

claimant/workman who is 5th standard pass is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the scale

and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are doing

the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation.’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Keshwar Prasad, Helper (Mali) despite rendering service for more than 35 years

continuously is unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Mali.

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 12/11/2012. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Helper in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post from 12/11/2012 with all

consequential benefits viz. annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility

etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Helper (Mali) w.e.f. 12/11/2012 in the regular pay-scale of Helper, with all consequential benefits and arrears of the

same be also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its

letter No.L-42011/92/2012/IR(DU) dated 12th/21st November, 2012 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Chotey Lal Mali despite

rendering service for more than 23 years continuously is justified ? If not, what relief the said workman is

entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Chotey Lal filed his statement of claim, with the averments that he

was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper (Maali)

on muster roll basis we.f. February, 1989 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested the

Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee chalked

out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such workmen/employees

whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence. Though some of the

workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been deprived of his

legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several times for grant

of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as per career

development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his promotion;

(b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for extension of all

amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the claimant

becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager in February, 1989. Consequent upon agitation of such casual

daily wage workers in the year 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 was

reduced into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers

would be considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their

seniority & performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time

including those dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and

applications were called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were

recruited/selected against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no

automatic right for absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though

efforts on the part of Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole

intention to accommodation Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board

of Governors for absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also

alleged that the claimant (who is an illiterate) does not possess the minimum essential qualifications of 10th standard pass

for selection even against an entry level Group D post (post of Maali) in the regular employment of the Management.

The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of work which

was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded and unjustified.

Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 18/7/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 and Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination he admitted that he is illiterate and was

engaged as Maali without any advertisement. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

704

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post of

Maali and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on recruitment

of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen whose

names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized as

Maali from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being

an illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80

(Tara Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as Maali on daily wage/ casual basis by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1983 and he has been discharging duties as assigned to him. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant on contractual/casual basis for doing the

work of Mali, is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. Office Memo

Ex.MW1/W-2 shows that the workman/claimant Chottey LaL who is still working on contractual engagement under Y-1

category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid minimum in the

scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitle to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India (2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

705

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Document/notification dated 27/3/1997 (Ex.MW1/5) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of Maali in

the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent should be literate

(having knowledge of reading & writing) with two years experience of the work of Mali. It shows that the

workman/claimant who was engaged in the year 1983 was eligible to be considered for the said post of Mali and at that

time it was not required that the incumbent should be 10th class pass, as has been pleaded by the Management. It is also

evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has

appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were/are similarly placed with the claimant on the issue

of literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal (at Sl.No.31

and Tara Chand (at Sl.No.80) being all illiterate are few of them and they have been placed in the regular pay-scale.

Perusal of the said list also shows that there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D

for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to

89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-

scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the

scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are

doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Chottey Lal, Helper (Mali) despite rendering service for more than 29 years continuously

is unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Mali.

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal notice to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 12/11/2012. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Mali in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post from 12/11/2012 with all consequential

benefits viz. annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Mali w.e.f. 12/11/2012 in the regular pay-scale of Helper (Mali), with all consequential benefits and arrears of the same

be also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

which are as under:-

‘Whether action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Keshwar Prasad Beldar,

despite rendering service for more than 25 years continuously is justified ? If not, what relief the said workman

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Keshwar Prasad filed his statement of claim, with the averments

that he was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Maali) on muster roll basis w.e.f. April, 1987 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested the

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management as unskilled daily wager in April, 1987. Consequent upon agitation of such casual daily

wage workers in the year 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 was reduced

into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers would be

considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their seniority &

performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time including those

dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and applications were

called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were recruited/selected

against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no automatic right for

absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. Though efforts on the part of

Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation

Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

that the claimant, being 7th class pass, does not possess the minimum essential qualifications of 10th standard pass for

selection even against an entry level Group D post in the regular employment of the Management. The engagement of

the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of work which was extended from

time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded and unjustified. Prayer has been

made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 18/07/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by

the Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce

their evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 and Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination he stated that he is educated upto 7th standard

and was engaged as Maali without any advertisement. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the

Management; conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and

that the Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different

posts, minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post

of Maali and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on

recruitment of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible

claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection

process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized as

Maali from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being

an illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80

(Tara Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as Helper (Maali) on daily wage/ casual basis by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been

under the employment of the Management since the year 1987 and he has been discharging duties as assigned to him.

As such, it clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard,

reference can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme

Courtt 2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals

with the definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

708

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant on contract/casual basis for doing the work

of Maali, is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. It is not in dispute

that the workman/claimant is still working on contractual engagement under Y-1 category and is paid fixed monthly

emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid minimum in the scale without any increment or

promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitle to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India 2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20/2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/ regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Document/notification dated 27/3/1997 (Ex.MW1/5 colly) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Maali in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent should be

literate (having knowledge of reading & writing) with two years experience of the work of Mali. It shows that the

workman/claimant who was engaged in the year 1987 was eligible to be considered for the said post of Mali and at that

time it was not required that the incumbent should be 10th class pass, as has been pleaded by the Management. It is also

evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has

appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were/are similarly placed with the claimant on the issue

of literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal (at Sl.No.31

and Tara Chand (at Sl.No.80) being all illiterate are few of them and they have been placed in the regular pay-scale.

Perusal of the said list also shows that there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D

for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85 to

89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular pay-

scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman who is 7th standard pass is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at

the minimum of the scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are

similarly placed and are doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

709

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Keshwar Prasad, Helper (Mali) despite rendering service for more than 35 years

continuously is unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Mali.

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 12/11/2012. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Mali in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post from 12/11/2012 with all

consequential benefits viz. annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility

etc.

Relief :-

In view of my aforesaid findings, the Management is directed to regularize the workman/claimant to the post of

Helper (Mali) w.e.f. 12/11/2012 in the regular pay-scale of Helper (Maali), with all consequential benefits and arrears of

the same be also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its letter

No.L-42011/119/2012/IR(DU) dated 7/1/2013 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Om Prakash s/o.

Shri Bhaskranand, Telephone Operator is justified ? If not, what relief the said workman is entitled to ? ’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Om Prakash filed his statement of claim, with the averments that

he was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Telephone

Operator on muster roll basis we.f. August, 1992 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested

the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee

chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

per career development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his

promotion; (b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for

extension of all amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the

claimant becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management in August, 1992 as unskilled casual daily wage worker. Consequent upon agitation of

such casual daily wage workers in 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was

reduced into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers

would be considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their

seniority & performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time

including those dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and

applications were called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were

recruited/selected against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no

automatic right for absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. The claimant

had applied for the post of Library Attendant & also for the post of for the post of worker Grade-C in Mechanical &

Industrial Engg. Department, against advertisement dated 27/8/1996, he was called for interview but was not

selected/short listed due to inadequate experience in the relevant field. Though efforts on the part of Government to

reduce the workers’ strength was going on but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation Y-Pool

workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for

absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the same was not accepted by the said

Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity,

accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including the claimant. It is also

alleged that the claimant was/is otherwise illegible for selection as a regular employee of the Management (IIT

Roorkee).. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis and in exigencies of

work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his services is ill founded

and unjustified . Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 12/8/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 to Ex.WW1/3. In cross examination he deposed that he is inter pass and had

annexed a certificate to this effect alongwith his application submitted for engagement with the Management. He

admitted that he was engaged as telephone operator without any advertisement. He clarified that an incumbent for the

post of telephone Operator should have passed inter class. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the

Management; conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and

that the Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different

posts, minimum qualifications have been prescribed and that against the advertised post, he had also applied for the post

of Maali and he was interviewed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban on

recruitment of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He admitted having applied for the post of clerk

as well as Library Attendant against the advertisement issued by the Management but was not short listed/selected. He

also admitted that all eligible claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity

to participate in the selection process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized

from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being an

illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80 (Tara

Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as daily wager/ casual worker by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1992 and he has been discharging duties of Telephone Operator. As

such, it clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard,

reference can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme

Courtt 2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals

with the definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant as daily wager for doing intermittent nature

of work is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. The

workman/claimant Om Prakash, having been working continuously since the year 1988 on contractual engagement/daily

wage basis under Y-1 category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being

paid minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitle to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India 2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

712

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that after agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers & had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Documents/notifications dated 21/11/1994 (Ex.MW1/5 colly.) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Telephone Operator in the pay-scale of Rs.775-1026/- eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the incumbent

should be high school pass & having 5 years experience for operation of PBX Exchange of 600 lines. The claimant is

inter pass, It shows that the workman/claimant who was engaged in the year 1992 and is working as Telephone operator

since then, has got requisite experience by now. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender Kumar Saini,

Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has appointed/regularized the services of various other workers who were

similarly placed with the claimant as regards literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4). Shri Bal Chand,

Maali (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal. Survey Tindal (at Sl.No.31), Shri Brijesh, Safai Karamchari (at Sl.No.56) and

Tara Chand, Helper (at Sl.No.80) who are illiterate but have been placed in the regular pay-scale. Perusal of the said

list also shows that one Shri K.D. Pathak (at Sl.No.10) having educational qualification of 12th pass has been

regularized/appointed is being paid wages in the regular pay-scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid

wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid

lesser pay than those who is similarly placed and is doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman Shri Ram Prakat s/o. Shri Punnoo, Mali despite rendering service for more than 35 years

continuously is unjustified and unwarranted. The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Mali.

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 7/1/2013. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Telephone Operator in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post, w.e.f. 7/1/2013 with all

consequential benefits viz.annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility

AWARD

A reference was received from Ministry of Labour, Government of India vide Letter No.L-42012/174/2015-

IR(DU) dated 17.11.2015 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 National Textiles Corporation as not allowing Shri B.L. Sharma to

resume duty on the basis of a fake resignation letter dated 01.02.1985 submitted by him can be construed as

termination from service without complying the provisions of the ID Act? If yes, what relief the workman

concerned is entitled to?’

2.

Claim statement was filed on behalf of Shri B.L. Sharma, the claimant herein, averring that he joined the

management as Labour Officer on 23.01.1981 and was confirmed in 1982. He was awarded increments from 1982 to

1985 abd his ACRs were very good. Thereafter he fell ill and was advised rest from 31.01.1985 to 07.02.1985 which

was intimated to the management on 04.02.1985. When the claimant reported for duties alongwith fitness certificate, he

714

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

was not allowed to join on the grounds that fake resignation letter dated 01.02.1985 has been accepted by the

management. On 24.12.1991 Ld. MM in Criminal Case No.119/I opined that the resignation letter is not written by the

claimant. Labour Court order dated 16.02.1995 also recorded evidence of CFSL expert and declared that letter of

resignation is not written by the claimant. Same opinion was given Shri Jaichandra, PO Labour Court and Shri AS

Datter, PO Labour Court.

3.

It is further averred by the claimant that since he was recruited on regular basis on permanent post and has been

confirmed on the said post by the management and was advised rest by Government Doctor, resignation would become

effective only after three months thereafter. The claimant has referred to various judgements . Finally, it has been

prayed that he be granted salary fringe benefits from 01.02.1985 till date of his retirement on 14.04.2006 alongwith CPF,

Gratuity, Pensionary benefits etc.

4.

Claim was demurred by the management by taking various preliminary objections inter alia that the reference

being barred by principles of resjudicata as the ID was disposed by Shri Ajit Bharihoke, Presiding Officer Labour Court

VIII, Delhi vide order dated 17.0192 stating that the claimant has actually resigned from service and his termination

cannot be termed as illegal. There being no industrial dispute, suppression of material facts that earlier a reference was

made by the appropriate Government and the same has been answered against him, non existence of employer-employee

relationship, the claimant not being a workman. LCA filed by him was dismissed by the Ld. Presiding Officer Labour

Court III. Writ petitions have been filed from time to time in Hon’ble High Courts which have been dismissed. The

management has claimed that the claimant is a law graduate and after resignation is practicing advocate in Delhi District

Court and High Court and is working as Public Notary also, hence not entitled to any benefit. Management has denied

the other material averments contained in the statement of claim and prayed that the reference may be answered in

favour of the management .

5.

Rejoinder was filed by the claimant wherein averment contained in the claim statement have been asserted and

the facts mentioned by the management have been denied.

6.

Based on the pleadings of the parties, following issues were framed:

(i)

Whether the reference is barred by the principles of res-judicata?

(ii)

Whether there no relationship of employer and employee between the parties, as alleged?

(iii)

In terms of reference

7.

Claimant filed his affidavit in evidence. Thereafter, the claimant filed an application under Section 10-B of the

ID (Central) Rules, 1957, reply to which was filed by the management and the case was listed for consideration on the

application. However, the claimant thereafter never appeared before this Tribunal despite affording as many as six

opportunities. Thus, it is amply clear that the claimant is no more interested in adjudication of the reference on merits.

8.

Since the claimant has neither put in his appearance nor has he led any evidence so as to prove his cause against

the management, as such, this Tribunal is left with no choice, except to pass a ‘No Dispute/Claim’ award. However, it is

made clear that there is no adjudication of the case on merits, as such, Shri B.L. Sharma, the claimant herein, is still at

liberty to agitate his cause in accordance with law. An award is accordingly passed.

AWARD

This Award shall decide a reference which was made to this Tribunal by the Appropriate Government vide its

letter No.L-42012/61/2012/IR(DU) dated 8/11/2012 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 action of management of IIT Roorkee in not regularizing the workman Shri Som Dutt s/o. Shri Ram

Das, despite rendering for more than 21 years is justified ? If not, what relief the said workman is entitled to ?’

2.

Both parties were put to notice and workman Som Dutt filed his statement of claim, with the averments that he

was inducted into the service of erstwhile University of Roorkee (later on converted into IIT Roorkee) as Helper

(Gatekeeper) on muster roll basis we.f. July, 1991 and continues to work in the same capacity since then. He requested

the Management for his regularization many a times but to no avail. It is pleaded that the Management IIT Roorkee

chalked out a plan under the Scheme of Y-Pool workers for the consistent absorption/regularization of such

workmen/employees whose names were included in the Y-Pool for which the applicant was not taken into confidence.

Though some of the workmen who were not included in the Y-Pool list have been absorbed but the claimant has been

deprived of his legitimate right of being placed on regular pay scale. The claimant approached the Management several

times for grant of such benefits but to no avail. He has prayed that order be passed (a) for upgradation of the claimant as

per career development policy for the category to which he belongs with effect from the date he becomes entitled to his

promotion; (b) for payment of arrears arising out of his regularization in the different regular pay scales and (c) for

extension of all amenities & facilities such as residential accommodation allowance, medical, transport etc. for which the

claimant becomes entitled consequent to his regularization and up-gradation in the regular pay scales.

3.

The claim of the Workman has been resisted by the Management who filed its written statement wherein it has

been alleged that the claimant was one of those casual daily wage workers whose services were engaged by the erstwhile

University of the Management in July, 1991 as unskilled casual daily wage worker. Consequent upon agitation of such

casual daily wage workers in 1993, a broad Memorandum of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 was

reduced into writing in the presence of Civil Administration inter-alia on the terms that the such daily wage workers

would be considered for appointment against vacant posts according to their qualifications and on the basis of their

seniority & performance/merit as per recruitment rules, regulations and guidelines. Advertisement from time to time

including those dated 24/10/94, 21/11/94, 26/7/95, 13/6/95, 27/8/96 and 27/3/97 for regular vacancies were issued and

applications were called from Y-Pool workers and accordingly 211 persons out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool were

recruited/selected against the regular posts on the basis of their merit/qualifications and experience. There was no

automatic right for absorption or fresh appointment with respect to all the daily wage or contract workers. The claimant

had applied for the post of Library Assistant against advertisement dated 20/9/1999; for the post of Peon against posts

advertised on 22/3/97 and against the post of Worker Grade-C in Mechanical & Indl.Engg. Department against

advertisement dated 27/8/1996. He was called for interview but was not selected/short listed due to inadequate

experience in the relevant field. Though efforts on the part of Government to reduce the workers’ strength was going on

but the Management with the sole intention to accommodation Y-Pool workers placed an agenda in the year 2004 before

the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the rest of these Y Pool workers but the

same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. It is alleged that the Management is providing all the facilities

viz. EPF, Pension, Gratuity, accommodation, revision of fixed wages, hospital facilities to the Y pool workers including

the claimant. It is also alleged that the claimant was/is otherwise illegible for selection as a regular employee of the

Management (IIT Roorkee).. The engagement of the claimant was purely on casual, intermittent and temporary basis

and in exigencies of work which was extended from time to time, the claim of the claimant for regularization of his

services is ill founded and unjustified . Prayer has been made for dismissal of the claim petition.

4.

Vide order dated 29/5/2013 my learned Predecessor observed that no specific issue except those referred by the

Government for adjudication arises from the pleadings of the parties and as such parties were called upon to adduce their

evidence.

716

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

5.

The Claimant in support of his case examined himself as WW1 who tendered his affidavits Ex.WW1/A and

relied on the documents Ex.WW1/1 to Ex.WW1/2. In cross examination he deposed that he is 8th standard pass and had

annexed a certificate to that effect alongwith his application submitted for engagement with the Management at the time

of joining. He admitted that he was engaged as Helper on daily wage basis without any advertisement. He clarified that

an incumbent for the post should be literate. He also admitted about formulation of Y pool list by the Management;

conducting of test/interviews for the posts exclusively for the 361 Nos. of workers in the Y pool list and that the

Management had recruited/regularized 211 such workers in the Y pool List. He also admitted that for different posts,

minimum qualifications have been prescribed. He showed his ignorance that the Govt. of Uttar Pradesh imposed a ban

on recruitment of non teaching staff vide orders dated 3/11/97 and 9/12/97. He also admitted that all eligible

claimants/workmen whose names were there in the Y Pool list were given an opportunity to participate in the selection

process for their absorption.

6.

On the other hand, the Management examined one Shri Surendra Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) as

MW1 who filed his affidavit Ex.MW1/A and relied on the documents Ex.MW1/1 to Ex.MW1/20. In cross examination

he stated that category D posts have been abolished since 2006 and workmen/officials working in category-D are now

termed as Multi Tasking Staff who are getting initial scale. While producing the regulations regarding the creation and

pay-scale of different posts as Ex.MW1/W-5, he admitted that the posts created by Syndicate (Executive Body of

Roorkee University) are in the pay scale approved by the State Government applicable at that time. He admitted that

Management had created a single Y pool List but could not say whether at that time illiterate persons were regularized

from the list of Y pool. He also admitted that Shri Bal Chand (mentioned at Sl.N.21) of list Ex.MW1/4 also being an

illiterate was appointed as Safai Karamchari. Similarly incumbent at Sl.No.57, No.31 (Mahipal) and at Sl.No.80 (Tara

Chand) in the said List all illiterate have been appointed as Safai Karamchari/Helper. He also admitted that the

claimant/workman has worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year and is doing job regularly.

7.

I have heard Shri Amit Sharma, A/R for the workman and Shri Sanjay Rawat, A/R for the Management and

have also gone through the records carefully and my findings are as follows.

8.

From the pleadings of the parties and evidence adduced on record, it is manifest that the claimant/workman

having been engaged as daily wager/ casual worker by the erstwhile University of Roorkee, has been under the

employment of the Management since the year 1987 and he has been discharging duties of Pump Operator. As such, it

clearly establishes relationship of employer-employee between the Management and claimant. In this regard, reference

can be made to the decision in the case of Devinder Singh Vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur, AIR 2011 Supreme Courtt

2532, wherein the Hon’ble Apex Court while interpreting the provisions of Section 2(S) of the Act which deals with the

definition of “workman” has observed as under :-

“The source of employment, the quantum of recruitment, the terms & conditions of employment/ contract of

service, the quantum of wages/ pay and mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a

person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. The definition of workman also does not

make any distinction between full time and part time employee or a person appointed on contract basis. There

is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only person employed on

regular basis or a person employed for doing whole time job is a workman and the one employed on temporary,

part time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for fixed hours is not a

workman.”

It is clear from the perusal of aforesaid observations that even if a person is engaged on temporary, part time or contract

basis or for doing any other kind of work and is duly paid wages for the said work, in that eventuality such a person

would be covered by the definition of “workman” as provided in Section 2(S) of the Act.

9.

As discussed above, in the case in hand engagement of the claimant as daily wager for doing intermittent nature

of work is duly admitted by the Management as per its pleadings and evidence adduced on record. The

workman/claimant having been working continuously since the year 1987 on contractual engagement/daily wage basis

under Y-1 category is paid fixed monthly emoluments in respect of his services, that is to say that he is being paid

minimum in the scale without any increment or promotion etc. for want of regularization.

10.

During the course of arguments, learned A/R for the Management relied on a number of judgements to contend

that there is no fundamental right of those workers who have been employed as daily wager or temporarily or on

contractual basis to claim that they have a right to be absorbed in service. Even such workers even serving for a long

number of years will not become entitled to claim regularization if he is not working against a sanctioned post.

11.

There is no dispute about preposition of law on the point. Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Hari Nandan

Prasad and another Vs. Food Corporation of India 2014) 7 Supreme Court cases 190 held as under :-

“… We are of the opinion that when there are posts available, in the absence of any unfair labour practice, the

Labour Court would not give direction for regularization only because a worker has continued as daily wage

worker/adhoc/temporary worker for number of year. Further, if there are no posts available, such a direction for

regularization would be impressible. In the abovesaid circumstances, giving of direction to regularise a person,

only on the basis of number of years put in by such a worker as daily wager et., may amount to backdoor entry

into the service which is an anathema to Article 14 of the Constitution. Further such a direction would not be

given when the concerned worker does not meet the eligibility requirement of the post in question as per the

Recruitment Rules. However, wherever it is found that similarly situated workmen are regularized by the

employer itself under some scheme or otherwise and the workmen in question who have approached

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

717

Industrial/Labour Court are at part with them, direction of regularization in such cases may be legally

justified, otherwise non regularization of the left over workers itself would amount to invidious

discrimination qua them in such cases and would be violative of Article 14 of the Constitution. Thus, the

Industrial adjudicator would be achieving the equality of upholding Article 14 rather than violating this

constitutional provision.”

From the above ruling, it is clear that ordinarily the Labour Court/Industrial Adjudicator should not issue direction for

regularization of the workman engaged/working on casual/daily wage basis irrespective of his length of service unless

there is a Scheme/policy of the Management & similarly situated workmen have been regularized by the

employer/Management under the said policy/Scheme and benefit of such scheme/policy has been declined to the

other.

12.

It is not in dispute that pursuant to agitation of casual daily wage workers engaged in the erstwhile University of

Roorkee in the year 1993, Memorandums of Understanding dated 22/11/1993 and 20./2/1996 were reduced into writing

and subsequently, the Management had prepared a Y list of such workers for the purposes of their regularization against

the vacant posts. As per written statement of the Management, 211 workers out of total 361 workers of Y-Pool list

have already been appointed/regularized and are being given regular pay scale. Management had intended to

accommodate and give benefit of regularization to remaining Y-Pool workers & had placed an agenda in the year 2004

before the Finance Committee and Board of Governors for absorption/regularization of the remaining/left over Y Pool

workers but the same was not accepted by the said Committee/Board. This impliedly shows that a scheme/policy was

formulated by the Management for regularizing the services of the workmen engaged on daily wage/casual basis.

Documents/notifications dated 27/8/1996 (Ex.MW1/5 colly.) issued by University of Roorki shows that for the post of

Peon /Workshop attendant in the pay-scale of Rs.750-940/-, eligibility criteria of education/experience was that the

incumbent should be 8th class pass, The claimant is 8th class pass, It shows that the workman/claimant who was engaged

in the year 1988 is working as Helper/Chowkidar since then. It is also evident from the testimony of MW1 Surender

Kumar Saini, Deputy Registrar (Legal) that the Management has appointed/regularized the services of various other

workers who were similarly placed with the claimant as regards literacy, were named in the Y Pool list (Ex.MW1/4).

Shri Bal Chand, Maali (mentioned at Sl.N.21), Mahipal. Survey Tindal (at Sl.No.31), Shri Brijesh, Safai Karamchari (at

Sl.No.56) and Tara Chand, Helper (at Sl.No.80) who are illiterate but have been placed in the regular pay-scale.

Perusal of the said list also shows that there are other workmen who are illiterate but have been regularized as group-D

for the post of Helper, Sweeper, Mali etc and reference may be made to the workmen shown at Sl.No.44,48, 67, 82, 85

to 89, 108, 114, 117, 139, 190, 201 of the said list. They have been regularized & are being paid wages in the regular

pay-scale. On the contrary, the claimant/workman is being paid wages at a fixed consolidated rate at the minimum of the

scale and that is to say that the workman/claimant is being paid lesser pay than those who are similarly placed and are

doing the same/equal work.

13.

Hon’ble the Apex Court in the case of State of Punjab and others Vs. Jagjit Singh and others,

2017Lab.L.C. 427 while upholding the principle of “equal pay for equal work” even for temporary employees observed

as under :-

“The principle of “equal pay for equal work” can be extended to temporary employees (differently described as

work-charged, daily wage, casual, adhoc, contractual and the like). It is fallacious to determine artificial

parameters to deny fruits of labour. An employee engaged for the same work, can not be paid less than another,

who performs the same duties and responsibilities. Certainly not, in a welfare State. Such an action besides

being demeaning, strikes at the very foundation of human dignity. Any one, who is compelled to work at a

lesser wage, does not do so voluntarily. He does so, to provide food and shelter to his family, at the cost of his

self respect and dignity, at the cost of his self worth, and at the cost of his integrity. For he knows, that his

dependents would suffer immensely, if he does not accept the lesser wage. Any act, of paying less wages, as

compared to others similarly situate, constitutes an act of exploitative enslavement, emerging out of a

domineering position. Undoubtedly, the action is oppressive, suppressive and coercive, as it compels

involuntary subjugation. ’’

14.

Having regard to the above, this Tribunal is of the considered opinion that action of the Management in not

regularizing the workman despite rendering service for more than 27 years continuously is unjustified and unwarranted.

The workman /claimant is entitled to be regularized to the post of Helper (Gatekeeper).

15.

Now the question arises for consideration is as to from which date the workman/claimant is entitled to be given

benefit of regularization. Neither in the statement of claim, the workman/claimant has pleaded that he had made any

written representation or demand/legal letter to the Management for consideration of his demand of regularization, nor

he has filed any such document on record. It is pertinent to mention here that on the controversy between the parties,

the reference to this Tribunal was made by the Appropriate Government vide letter dated 8/11/2012. In these

circumstances, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the workman/claimant is entitled to get benefit of

regularization to the post of Helper/Gatekeeper in the regular pay-scale existing to the said post, w.e.f. 8/11/2012 with all

consequential benefits viz.annual increment and other prevalent benefits/facilities like HRA, transport, medical facility

etc.

also paid to him. The Award is passed accordingly.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

AWARD

Bereft of unnecessary details, factual matrix of the case is that the workman Shri Mumtaz Ahmed

Ashiq Ali was appointed as Peon-cum-Watchman in the subordinate cadre of Bank on 01.01.1998 and was later

promoted as Cashier-cum-Clerk on 1st August, 2001. While working as Cashier-cum-Clerk the workman was served

with a chargesheet for conducting misconduct for his riotous, disorderly and indecent behavior on the premises of the

Bank in presence of members of the staff during working hours. The enquiry was setup and after enquiry he was found

guilty. Concurring with the Enquiry Officer’s report, the management of the Bank finally passed an order on 12th

January, 2005 inflicting punishment of dismissal from service of the Bank. Dispute regarding his dismissal arose and

referred by the Government of India to this Tribunal vide Order No. L-12012/168/2005-IR(B-I) dated 28.11.2005 in

following terms:

“Whether the action of the management of Bombay Mercantile Cooperative Bank Ltd., 89 Mohamedali Road,

and Mumbai – 400003 in imposing the punishment of “Dismissal from the services of the Bank without notice”

on Shri Mumtaz Ahmed Ashiq Ali vide its order No.67/STF/IR/15083 dated 12.01.2005 with immediate effect is

legal and justified? If not, to what relief the concerned workman is entitled to?”

2.

The workman challenged the validity of enquiry on the ground that the person who conducted the enquiry was

not competent to do so. The workman was victimized for not carrying out illegal and unreasonable orders actuated by

mala fide motive to put the workman in trouble for no fault of his own. The workman also challenged the action of the

Bank in imposing punishment of dismissal being bad in law and not in proportion to the charges leveled against him.

3.

The management of the Bank file its written statement to the effect that on 3rd August, 2004 a customer,

Mr. S. Roy approached the Bank for issuance of pay order which was not issued to him even after lapse of 40 minutes.

At the end of the day when the Branch Manager called the workman and wanted to know the facts, the workman started

shouting and abusing the officials working in the Branch and also threatened them inside the Manager’s chamber to beat

them outside. The Branch Manager objected to the workman’s behavior and his using foul language. He also shouted at

the Branch Manager. On 4th August, 2004 at about 9.40 A.M. the workman alongwith Shri Fida Mehdi Masdool Hassan

Syed, a driver assaulted the Branch Manager, Shri Amir Azam Khan on his head, face and hand with their hands and

fists causing injury to the Branch Manager in presence of staff members and customers of the branch within the premises

of the Bank. The workman also used abusive language against the Branch Manager and threatened to beat him creating

ugly scene and disrupting the working of the branch. The Branch Manger had to take medical treatment and lodged

complaint with Beniapukur Police Station, Kolkata. An enquiry was held for the misconduct committed by the workman

wherein the workman was found guilty of the charges. Therefore, the Bank dismissed him from services of the Bank.

4.

As the workman had challenged the legality and validity of the enquiry, it was taken up as preliminary issue and

decided by this Tribunal on 11th May, 2011. Enquiry was held to be in furtherance of principles of natural justice and

therefore a valid enquiry.

5.

After the domestic enquiry is held to be valid and proper, next question arises as to the scope of interference by

the Tribunal. Initially the Industrial Tribunal had very little scope to interfere with the findings of the Enquiry Officer.

However, later on Section 11A was inserted in the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter to be referred as the Act of

1947 for convenience) wherein it has been provided that the Industrial Tribunal has power to reappraise the findings of

domestic enquiry. According to Section 11A of the Act of 1947 the Industrial Tribunal can set aside the order of

discharge or dismissal and direct reinstatement of the workman, if it is satisfied that the order of dismissal or discharge

was not justified.

6.

The scope of judicial review by Industrial Tribunal has been analyzed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in

Nirmala J. Jhala v. State of Gujarat & Another, CDJ 2013 SC 216 in following terms -

“It is settled legal proposition that judicial review is not akin to adjudication on merit by re- appreciating the

evidence as an Appellate Authority. The only consideration the Court/Tribunal has in its judicial review, is

to consider whether the conclusion is based on evidence on record and supports the findings or whether the

conclusion is based on no evidence. The adequacy or reliability of the evidence is not a matter which can be

permitted to becanvassed before the Court in proceedings.”

7.

The Hon’ble Supreme Court has further observed that

“The decision referred to hereinabove highlights clearly, the parameter of the Court’s power of judicial review

of administrative action or decision. An order can be set-aside if it is based on extraneous grounds, or when

there is no grounds at all for passing it or when the grounds are such that, no one can reasonably arrive at the

opinion. The Court does not sit as a Court of Appeal but, it merely reviews the manner in which the decision

was made. The Court will not normally exercise its power of judicial review unless it is found that formation of

belief by the statutory authority suffers from malafides, dishonest/corrupt practice. In other words, the authority

must act in good faith. Neither the question as to whether there was sufficient evidence before the authority can

be raised/examined, nor the question of re-appreciating the evidence to examine the correctness of the order

under challenge. If there are sufficient grounds for passing an order, then even if one of them is found to be

correct, and on its basis the order impugned can be passed, there is no occasion for the Court to interfere.”

8.

Learned counsel for the workman has argued that though the sufficiency of evidence adduced during domestic

enquiry cannot be looked into by this Tribunal, but where the report submitted by the Enquiry Officer is perverse, there

is enough scope of interference. A perverse finding is one which is passed on no evidence or one that no reasonable

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

721

person would arrive at. Reiterating the principles laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court in Tribeny Rubber & Plastic v.

CEE, AIR 1994 SC 1341 the Hon’ble Apex Court in General Manager, Punjab & Sind Bank v. Daya Singh, (2011) 2

SCC 233 has held that where some relevant evidence has not been considered or that certain inadmissible material has

been taken into consideration, the findings can be said to be perverse.

9.

Explaining the test of perversity the Hon’ble Apex Court in State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur v. Nemi Chand

Nalwya, 2011 (4) Scale 56 has held as follows:

“6.

It is now well settled that the Court will not act as an appellate court and reassess the evidence lead in

the domestic enquiry, nor interference on the ground that another view is possible on the material on record. If

the enquiry has been fairly and properly held and the findings are based onevidence, the question of adequacy

of the evidence or the reliable nature of the evidence will not be grounds for interfering with the finding in

departmental enquiries. Therefore, Courts will not interfere with the findings of fact recorded in departmental

enquiries, 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, mala fide or based on extraneous consideration.”

10.

Now scrutinizing the facts of the instant case with above angle, we have to see whether there is no evidence on

record to prove the charges leveled against the workman or some extraneous material has been taken into consideration

by the Enquiry Officer. On perusal of record of domestic enquiry it is revealed that the workman concerned had been

charged with misconduct. It was alleged that on 3rd August, 2004 one of the customers of the Bank had applied for

issuance of pay order which was not issued to him even after 10 minutes. Then the matter was reported to the Branch

Manager, Mr. Amir Azam Khan who called the workman to explain the whole matter, but he shouted at the Branch

Manager and also used foul languages. Next day, on 4th August, 2004 at about 9.40 A.M. the workman concerned

alongwith the Driver of the Bank, Shri Fida Mehdi Masdool Hassan Syed assaulted the Branch Manager on his face and

hands and thus caused injuries in the presence of staff members an customers of the branch within the premises of the

branch. In order to prove the above charge of misconduct, Mr. Shakeel Ahmed, Mr. Amir Azam Khan the Branch

Manager were examined and deposed against the workman concerned during enquiry proceeding. Both the witnesses had

narrated the incident on oath and were also cross-examined by the defence. Learned counsel for the workman has failed

to point out in what respect the charges of misconduct leveled against the workman concerned are based on no evidence

or what extraneous material considered by the Enquiry Officer. As has already been seen above, the sufficiency of

evidence cannot be seen at this stage. Thus the finding of Enquiry Officer can in no way be said to be perverse.

11.

Even if a finding of Enquiry Officer does not suffer with any illegality or perversity, Tribunal has jurisdiction

under Section 11A of the Act of 1947 to interfere, if it is satisfied that the order of discharge or dismissal was not

justified. In catena of cases, it has been held that the action of the management must conform with proportionality of

gravity of offence.

12.

In Muriadih Colliery v. Bihar Colliery Kamgar Union, 2005 (3) SCC 331 the law has been laid down by the

Hon’ble Supreme Court as follows –

“It is well established principle in law that in a given circumstance it is open to the Industrial Tribunal acting

under Section 11A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 has the jurisdiction to interfere with the punishment

awarded in the domestic enquiry for good and valid reasons. If the Tribunal decides to interfere with such

punishment, it should bear in mind the principle of proportionality between the gravity of the offence and the

stringency of the punishment.”

13.

In Life Insurance Corporation of India v. R. Dandapani, 2006(108) FLR 953 it has been observed by the

Hon’ble Apex Court that the Tribunal has power to reduce the quantum of punishment, but power under Section 11-A

has to be exercised judiciously and the Industrial Tribunal or Labour Court Is expected to interfere with the decision of

the management only when it is satisfied that the punishment imposed by the management is wholly and shockingly

disproportionate to the degree of guilt of the workman concerned.

14.

In Management of Bharat Heavy Electricals v. M. Mani & Others, 2018 LLR 2(SC) Hon’ble the Apex

Court has held that where a departmental enquiry is held to be legal and proper then the only question remains for

consideration is whether the punishment of dismissal is required any interference. Relevant portion of the judgment may

be quoted as below:

“18.

In other words, the Labour Court should have then confined its enquiry to examine only one limited

question as to whether the punishment given to the respondents was, in any way, disproportionate to the gravity

of the charge leveled against them and this, the Labour Court should have examined by taking recourse to the

provisions of Section 11-A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. ………”

15.

Thus the jurisdiction to interfere with the quantum of punishment can be exercised only when it is found to be

grossly disproportionate. In the present case it has been seen that the workman concerned has not only used abusive

language, but also assaulted the Manager of the Branch at bank premises in the presence of not only bank staff but also

customers of the Branch. Thus the workman concerned committed indiscipline at work place which has been regarded as

a matter of prime concern. Therefore, punishment of dismissal from service cannot be said to be disproportionate so as to

shock one’s conscience. In Muriadih Colliery case (supra) two workmen alongwith others armed with deadly went to the

722

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

General Manager and assaulted him causing injuries to him and his colleagues. The Court considered it as an act of gross

indiscipline.

16.

Similarly, in M.P. Electricity Board v. Jagadish Chandra Sharma, (2005) 3 SCC 401 the employee was

found guilty hitting and injuring his superior at workplace in presence of other employees. The Hon’ble Supreme Court

held that this clearly amounted to breach of discipline of the organization. Relevant portion of the judgment is as follows:

“Discipline at the workplace in an organization like the employer herein, is the sin qua non for the efficient

working of the organization. When an employee breaches such discipline and the employer terminates his

services, it is not open to a Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal to take the view that the punishment awarded is

shockingly disproportionate to the charge proved.”

Hon’ble Court has further quoted Jack Chan to highlight the importance of discipline at work place.

“discipline is a form of civily responsible behavior to help to maintain social order and contribute,

preservation, if not advancement of collective interest of the society at large.”

17.

Learned counsel for the management has cited Biecco Lawrie Ltd. & Another v. State of West Bengal, 2009-

IV-LLJ 644, K. Yadiah v. Chief Security Commissioner, RPF, 2007 (112) FLR 130 and H.R.B.H. Siddique v. Brihan

Mumbai Electricity Supply, 2007 (1) CLR 997 wherein it has been held that an act of assault cannot be regarded as a

minor breach of discipline and use of abusive language by an employee would not be tolerated in a civilized society. In

above case laws Courts also approved rule of shockingly disproportionality.

18.

On the factual score it has been found that on 3rd August, 2004 when the Branch Manager wanted to have

explanation for delay in issuance of pay order to one of the customers of the Bank, the workman concerned started

shouting and abusing the officials working in the branch and threatened them inside the chamber of the Branch Manager.

He also shouted at the Branch Manager using foul languages. Again on 4th August, 2004 at about 9.40 A.M. the

workman concerned alongwith Driver of the Bank assaulted the Branch Manager within the premises of the Bank in the

presence of staff members and customers of the Branch. Thus the workman created an atmosphere of indiscipline and

disturbed the smooth and peaceful functioning of the Bank. In an organization where head of the organization himself is

subjected to abusive languages and physical assault by subordinate staff of the organization, the workman cannot be said

to deserve to remain in employment. His presence in the organization is detrimental to the interest of the Bank. In these

circumstances, the punishment imposed by the management cannot be said to be shockingly disproportionate to the

charges of misconduct leveled against the workman, in absence of which no interference by the Tribunal is warranted

under Section 11A of the Act of 1947.

18.

In view of above, the action of the management of Bombay Mercantile Cooperative Bank Ltd. in imposing the

punishment of dismissal from service of the Bank on Shri Mumtaz Ahmed Ashiq Ali is legal and justified and workman

concerned is not entitled to any relief.

Award is passed accordingly.

these can not be an industrial dispute between employer on a person whom he has agreed to

take into the employ, but whom he has never employed, any difference between the parties to

the contract must be resolved in the ordinary courts by a suit for damages."

The Government of India, Ministry of Labour by its order No. L-22012/200/2007-IR(CM-II) dated 24.9.2007 referred

the following dispute under section 10(1)(d) of the I.D. Act, 1947 requiring this forum to decide the question:

SCHEDULE

“Whether the action of the management of M/s. SCCL in imposing the punishment of reduction of four

increments

in

his

scale

of

pay

with

cumulative

effect

from

1.11.2004

vide

office

order

No. RG3/PER/R/008/1294 dated 15.10.2004 in respect of Sri A. Narsinga Rao is legal and justified? If not, to

what relief the workman is entitled?”

On receipt of the reference this Tribunal has registered and numbered the reference as I.D. No. 58/2007 and issued

notices to both the workman and the management. Thereafter, both the parties appeared before the court and engaged

their respective counsels with the leave of the court and consent of either party.

2.

The averments made in the claim statement in brief are as follows:

The workman was initially appointed as EP Operator at OC-III project, on 24.10.1983. While working as such he was

issued with a charge sheet dated 23.7.2002, alleging that on account of negligence and mal-operation, Dumper No.H-

375, sustained damages. As such, he was alleged to have committed misconduct under company’s Standing Orders

No.25.5 and 25.4. The workman submitted his explanation dated 28.7.2002 explaining the circumstances under which it

was taken place. But without considering the same in proper prospective enquiry was initiated. The workman was not

given any opportunity much less valid in nature. Neither the procedure of the enquiry was explained nor the co-worker

was permitted to assist him. The co-workman permitted to sit in the Enquiry, only as an observer, but he was not

permitted to assist the workman. During the course of enquiry, the Presenting Officer examined MW1 to MW5 and on

behalf of workman, DW1 was examined, apart from himself. On completion of the enquiry, the Enquiry Officer

submitted his report holding the charges as proved. The workman was asked to submit his explanation on the enquiry

report vide notice dated 2/9.8.2004. The workman has submitted his report on 31.8.2004 stating that without considering

his representation in a pre-determined manner order dated 5.10.2004 was issued by the authority imposing the penalty of

reversion to a lower stage by reducing four increments with cumulative effect. It is stated that On 6.7.2002 in 3rd shift,

the workman was driving dumper No.H-375, and had made 16 trips continuously. At about 6.15 AM he observed that

smoke was coming out from the wheel brake drum and was pulling towards the left side. He informed the same to the

Shift Head Overman immediately and on his instruction, water tanker was brought for spraying the water. As the brake

drum was already got heated, more smoke came out and the colour of the brake drum was also changed. Though the

brake drum was left as it was struck, it could have automatically cooled down. As a result of spraying of water the

damage was caused to the brake wheel, but not otherwise. There was neither negligence nor mal-operation on the part

of the workman. The Enquiry Officer relied upon the alleged report made by MW3 behind the back of the workman.

Neither the said report furnished to the workman nor the same was produced during the course of the enquiry but

exclusively relying upon the said report the Enquiry Officer came to the conclusion that the charges levelled against the

workman were proved and basing on such report penalty was imposed on this workman. It is stated that such an action

on the part of the Respondent is unjustified and untenable. MW3 who stated to have conducted inspection behind the

back of the workman submitted his report, and stated to have opined that, “in my opinion the operator might have

engaged retarded brake partially and operated the dumper.” It is stated that such an opinion is only assumptive and

basing on such assumptive statement, the workman was imposed with such a heavy penalty. Whereas, MW4 deposed

that, “in my opinion, the damages of the machine was due to over heat of oil during the operation of the dumper.” These

two opinions run contrary to each other. As a matter of fact during the course of cross examination, MW4 accepted that,

if the retarded brake is applied either continuously or partially, the same would be indicated in the cabin room and

admittedly no such indication was given in the cabin room. Thus, the finding of the Enquiry Officer that, “the workman

partially operated retarded brakes, which caused burning machine parts due to over heat”, is nothing but a perverse

finding. Basing on the presumptive and incorrect statement of MW3, the workman ought not have to be imposed the

penalty and the approximate cost of damages are Rs.5.00 lakhs. Whereas, MW4 who stated to have conducted

inspection deposed that, during his inspection only the clutch plates, dumper plates and seals were damaged. Therefore,

it is not known on what basis MW3 could contend that the dumper suffered various damages mentioned in the

chargesheet. The said inspection was done by MW3 behind the back of the workman. It is also not known how MW3

could assess the cost of the damage as 5 lakhs. Unfortunately, the Enquiry Officer blindly followed the version of MW3.

The findings of the Enquiry Officer are perverse in nature. The penalty imposed on such finding which is liable to be

set aside. It is seen from the evidence of MW5 that, spraying of water on a heated dumper is not a correct procedure.

The workman is in no way responsible for the alleged damage caused to the dumper. But, ignoring the valid evidence

and without considering the submission of the workman the impugned order was issued. It is stated that due to the

penalty imposed against the workman he himself and also his family members are put to lot of hardships. There is no

justification on the part of the Respondent to impose such a penalty when the workman is not at fault. Hence, the office

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

729

order bearing number RG3/PER/R/008/1294 dated 15.10.2004 issued by the General Manager, RG-III Area, in respect

of Sri A. Narsinga Rao be declared as illegal and is liable to be set aside.

3.

Respondent filed counter with the averments in brief as follows:

While admitting some of the facts to be true, and denying some of the facts, the Respondent in its counter has stated that

the dumper attached to the workman was working got damaged owing to his mal operations and gross negligence. The

cost incurred for its repairs is estimated at Rs.5 lakhs. Besides, it took some period for repair and to put in operation.

Considering that the workman is to be held responsible for the damages, chargesheet dated 23.7.2002 was issued under

Company’s Standing Orders Nos.25.5 and 25.24 which reads as follows:

“25.5

:

Neglect of work;

25.24:

Sabotage or causing wilful damage to work in progress or to property of the Company.”

The workman acknowledged the said chargesheet and submitted his written explanation denying the charges, but as it

was not found satisfactory an order was passed to conduct a domestic enquiry, in which the workman participated fully

and fair opportunity was given to him to defend his case. The principles of natural justice were complied with during

the enquiry. On conclusion of the enquiry the Enquiry Officer submitted his report according to which charges

levelled against the workman were found proved. Show cause notice dated 2/9.8.2004 including copy of the enquiry

proceeding and findings was issued to the workman calling upon him to give his representation. In response to the

above notice the workman submitted his representation dated 31.8.2004, as he has not represented anything against the

proceedings of the enquiry or findings of the Enquiry Officer in his representation, thereafter, considering the proved

charges which are grave and serious, punishment ought to have been awarded is dismissal from service. But taking of

the material facts into consideration and also considering the representation submitted by the workman, Disciplinary

Authority has awarded lesser punishment of reduction of four increments in his pay with cumulative effect from

1.11.2004 vide order dated 15.10.2004. The workman has not preferred any appeal invoking Clause-29 of the

Company’s Standing Orders questioning the correctness of the penalty imposed. On the other hand, after one year and

9 months, the Petitioner raised the industrial dispute. The contention of the workman is in a routine and predetermined

manner. The office order dated 15.10.2004 was issued is not correct. The contention of the Petitioner wherein it has

been stated that the office order dated 15.10.2004 was issued is not correct and his further contention was that there was

negligence nor mal operation on the spot and that the Enquiry Officer relied upon the alleged report prepared by MW3

behind the back of the workman and that the punishment was awarded on presumptive and incorrect statement. The

contention of the Petitioner that he is not responsible for the damage, is also totally incorrect. With the above

averments, the Respondent submitted for dismissal of the claim statement with costs.

4.

The points for determination in this case are:

I.

Whether the action of the Management of M/s. Singareni Collieries Company Limited in imposing the

punishment of reduction of 4 (four) increments in scale of pay of the Petitioner with cumulative effect

from 1.11.2004 vide office order No.RG3/PER/R/008/1294 dated 15.10.2004 is legal and justified?

II. If not, what relief the Petitioner workman is entitled to?

5.

I have already heard the Learned Counsels of both the parties in this matter.

6.

The domestic enquiry conducted by the Respondent Management is held legal and valid vide order dated

22.4.2014.

7.

Point No. I:

The Learned Counsel for the Petitioner submitted that without any fault of the Petitioner

workman punishment of deduction of four increments with cumulative effect was imposed from 1.11.2004 which is

illegal. The Enquiry Officer has not conducted the enquiry properly. The findings of the Enquiry Officer are perverse in

nature and basing on the evidence of MW3, the Enquiry Officer submitted that the charge levelled against the

workman is proved, even though sufficient evidence is not available against the workman the charge is proved. It is also

contended that even though sufficient evidence is available in favour of the Petitioner/workman to exonerate him from

the charges, the Enquiry Officer with a predetermined mind submitted the enquiry report holding the charges proved.

The workman is no way responsible for the alleged damage caused to the dumper. The Enquiry Officer exonerating

the valid evidence available in favour of the workman without considering the submission of the workman Petitioner has

imposed such a punishment. Due to the penalty imposed against the workman, he himself and his family members are

put to lot of hardship. There is no justification on the part of the Respondent to impose penalty of deduction of four

increments with cumulative effect vide order No. RG3/PER/ R/ 008/ 1294 dated 15.10.2004 and the same is liable to

be set aside.

8.

On the other hand, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondent submitted that due to the mal

operation and gross negligence of the workman, the dumper was damaged. Costs incurred for its repair is remitted of

Rs.5 Lakhs. Besides this, it took some years for repairing and to put in operation. The workman is held responsible

for the damage caused to the dumper. In the enquiry it has already been proved that due to the careless and negligence

of the workman the Respondent Management suffer a lot. The workman fully participated in the enquiry and put forth

730

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

his defence. But after considering all the materials available on record along with the evidence adduced by the parties,

the Enquiry Officer submitted his report and the charges levelled against the workman was proved. The charges proved

against the workman are grave and serious in nature and the punishment ought to have been awarded as dismissal from

service, but taking all the material facts into consideration and considering the representation submitted by the workman

the Disciplinary Authority has awarded the lesser punishment of deduction of four increments with cumulative effect

from 1.11.2004 vide order dated 15.10.2004. The workman has not preferred any appeal invoking Clause 29 of

Company’s Standing Orders questioning the correctness of the penalty imposed on him and on the other hand, after

one year and nine months of the order he raised the industrial dispute and submitted the claim applications with a routine

manner which should not be accepted. The claim of the workman as well as the Petitioner union is totally false and is

devoid of merit. If any exemplary punishment will not be given, the workmen would not be serious in their duties.

Since the lesser penalty has been imposed on the workman, it needs no interference.

9.

On consideration of the rival contention of both sides, it is seen that the Department has conducted a domestic

enquiry, in the enquiry the workman has fully participated and the enquiry has been conducted following the principles

of natural justice. Both the parties have also challenged the validity of the domestic enquiry. But after hearing, this

court vide order dated 22.4.2014, held that the domestic enquiry conducted by the Department is held legal and valid. In

fact, even though there was provisions to prefer appeal under Clause 29 of the Company’s Standing Orders questioning

the correctness of the penalty imposed, the workman has not invoked the above clause by preferring an appeal. The

workman waited after passing of the impugned order for a period of one year and nine months and thereafter raised this

industrial dispute. First of all the workman should have preferred an appeal before the Appellate Authority. It is not

known what prevented the workman to prefer an appeal before the Appellate Authority claiming his innocence. When

the domestic enquiry conducted by the Department is found legal and justified, only four increments have been deducted

with cumulative effect with effect from 1.11.2004 vide order dated 15.10.2004 and when no appeal has been preferred

challenging the impugned order, in such a circumstances no justifiable ground is available for this Tribunal to interfere

in the order passed by the Disciplinary Authority, and as such the order passed by the Respondent is found to be legal

and justified which needs no interference.

Thus, Point No.I is answered negatively against the Petitioner.

10. Point No.II: In view of the findings made in Point No.I, the Petitioner union is not entitled to get any relief.

Thus, Point No.II is answered accordingly.

Result:

The action of the management of M/s. SCCL in imposing the punishment of reduction of four increments in the scale of

pay with cumulative effect from 1.11.2004 vide office order No. RG3/PER/R/008/1294 dated 15.10.2004 in respect of

Sri A. Narsinga Rao is legal and justified. The workman is not entitled to any relief.

Under the circumstances, there is no order as to costs.

Award is passed accordingly. Transmit.

AWARD

Smt. Pittala Suvarna who worked as Peon/Casual Labourer (who will be referred to as workman) has filed this

petition under Sec. 2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 against the Respondents Life Insurance Corporation of

India with a prayer to pass an order setting aside the termination order issued orally by the Respondents as it is illegal,

bad in law and violative of Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and Section 25 N of the Industrial Disputes

Act, 1947 and also judgement of the Hon’ble Apex Court decided in the case of Life Insurance Corporation of India

and another etc., Vs. D.V. Anil Kumar etc., in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005 and consequently directing the

Respondent corporation to reengage the Petitioner in service with all consequential benefits including back wages in the

interest of justice.

2.

The case of the Petitioner as averred in claim petition in brief as follows:

The Petitioner was initially engaged as a Casual Labourer (Sweeper) in the office of the 2nd Respondent with effect from

17.4.2006 and continued in the same capacity upto 23.1.2013. It is stated that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the

case of Life Insurance Corporation of India and etc., Vs. D.V. Anil Kumar etc., in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005

has directed the Respondent corporation to absorb casual labourers employed under them as per the scheme submitted

before the Hon’ble Court. According to which “One time limited examination for those temporary persons who are

working in Life Insurance Corporation of India for more than five years and who had possessed minimum eligible

qualification and age as prescribed at the time of entry into LIC of India would be considered. For this purpose, LIC

of India will hold a limited written examination which will be in the vernacular language with a limited syllabus which

will be announced in advance. The successful short listed candidates shall be called for the interview. Such of those

persons who are successful in the interview shall be initially appointed and posted anywhere in the respective Zone.” It

is also submitted that the Petitioner was working as a casual labourer for a long time without any blemish. The

Respondent Corporation is an Industry covered under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Since more than 100

workers/employees were working under the Respondent corporation, the provisions of retrenchment under Sec.25N of

the Chapter V-B of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 are applicable in the instant case of termination. The Respondent

corporation has not followed the same mandatory procedure contained under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 while

terminating the service of the Petitioner. It is also submitted that being aggrieved by the oral termination order of the

Respondent corporation the Petitioner approached the conciliation officer i.e., Assistant Labour Commissioner (C) for

redressal of her grievance. The said conciliation officer has initiated one conciliation proceedings on 12.6.2013 and

completed on 26.7.2013 as no settlement was arrived in the proceedings and lastly submitted his report. Therefore, i)

the Petitioner was constrained to file this petition challenging the termination of the Petitioner by the Respondents which

is in violation of Sec.25N of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as well as Articles 14 and 21 of the

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

737

Constitution of India. ii) the termination of the services of the Petitioner by the Respondent is in violation of the

judegment of the Hon’ble Apex Court as referred above. iii) the job which the Petitioner was performing in the

Respondent corporation is of perennial in nature and the post is still lying vacant. The termination of services of the

Petitioner without following mandatory procedure is a colourable Act coupled with the malafide intention. iv) the

Petitioner is not able to procure any employment/work in other organizations till date, thus, he is entitled of immediate

regularization and with the above averments the Petitioner has filed this case claiming the relief mentioned above.

3.

The Respondents filed counter challenging the claim of the Petitioner on the ground of its maintainability

which runs as follows:

It is stated that pursuant to the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dated 18.1.2011 passed in C.A. No.953-968

of 2005, the LIC of India issued an employment notice dated 20.5.2011 calling for applications for recruitment of peons

from the eligible persons, which are quoted below:

a) All temporary persons working in LIC of India for more than 5 years as on 18.1.2011.

b) Possessing minimum eligible qualification and age as prescribed by the LIC of India at the time of their

entering into LIC of India

c) Candidates have to submit the copies of proof of working with the Corporation for more than 5 years as on

18.1.2011 duly signed by the Chief/Sr/Branch Manager of the Branch Office, Manager (P & IR)/Manager

(OS) of the respective Divisional Office.

d) The onus of furnishing the authentic documentary proof for the above at the time of submission of the

application shall be on the candidate.

It is submitted that in compliance to the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the Respondent corporation

released one notification calling for the applications from the eligible candidates at various Divisional offices on or

before 3.6.2011 which was the cut-off date. All the applications received under Hyderabad Division were forwarded to

the Zonal Office, Hyderabad and after verification, written test was conducted on 26.6.2011 by the Zonal Office for all

such eligible candidates who were eligible to the post as per the norms/eligibility criteria fixe by the Hon’ble Supreme

Court of India. It is further submitted that the Respondent corporation had taken persons as daily wagers whenever need

arose and situation demanded. The Petitioner was purely taken as a part time Sweeper, under the category of sweeper

intermittently. The Petitioner has not completed one year of service continuously. As per the records maintained by the

corporation she never worked continuously from 17.4.2006 to 23.1.2013 as contended by the Petitioner. The burden of

proof lies on the Petitioner only with regard to compliance of the eligibility criteria as decided by the Hon’ble Apex

Court and her continuous service as contended by her in her petition. In fact the Petitioner had been taken as daily

wager on his request by the Respondent corporation i.e., in the office of Respondent No.2 as and when work arose.

The Petitioner has not fulfilled the guidelines of the Apex Court as per the notification dated 20.5.2011 given by the LIC

for submitting the application as a daily wager before the date fixed by the LIC. Therefore, the Petitioner is not eligible

as per the LIC notification. The Petitioner is not even eligible for retrenchment compensation as provided under Sec.

25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as she had not completed one year of service continuously. She had been

taken as a daily wager under the category of daily wager intermittently. Therefore, compliance of Sec.25N of the

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 does not arise. The Respondent corporation has never issued any appointment letter to

the Petitioner as she was neither appointed under the LIC (Employment and Temporary Staff) Instructions, 1993 dated

28.6.1993 nor under any other instructions issued by the corporation from time to time. Therefore, the termination of

service of the Petitioner does not arise at all. Her services were not taken further in strict compliance of the order of the

Hon’ble Apex Court in Civil Appeal Nos.953-968 of 2005. The claim of the Petitioner that he was engaged as a daily

wager in the office of the 2nd Respondent with effect from 17.4.2006is not correct. As per the records of the

Respondents the Petitioner never worked continuously from 17.4.2006 to 21.3.2011. The vouchers submitted by the

Petitioner clearly shows that those are the payment vouchers relating to daily wagers for the service taken by the

corporation. Therefore, the plea of the Petitioner that he worked continuously as daily wager/casual labour is not

correct. It is further submitted that as the Petitioner was not engaged by the corporation, the question of her termination

does not arise. So also the question of violation of any provisions either under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 or

under the Constitution of India does not arise. It is further submitted that the contention of the Petitioner that still the

posts are lying vacant is not correct. It is also submitted that the corporation has not employed any workman on

temporary basis for the past seven years. But the corporation is engaging the persons purely on daily wage basis only

depending upon the requirement of the office. The daily wagers were paid according to the applicable Laws in force.

Therefore, the office has never exploited the workman at any point of time. The Respondents have also submitted that

the LIC of India was not indulging unfair labour practice. As it is need based category they have engaged the Petitioner

as daily wager as and when the situation demanded and the corporation paid the due wages as applicable. It is further

submitted that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India vide its order dated 18.1.2011 has stated that such of those

temporary employees who do not apply and are or not successful shall cease to be in the employment. Those

temporary persons, who were not governed by the order of the Hon’ble Apex Court shall cease to be in the employment.

Therefore, as the Petitioner was not taken further and the question of reengaging her by the Respondent corporation does

not arise and it will be contrary to the guidelines fixed by the Hon’ble Apex Court. It is stated that not engaging the

services of a daily wager is in obedience of the above order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. As per the

employment notification dated 20.5.2011 the candidates who do not satisfy the eligibility conditions are liable to be

disqualified at any stage of the selection which has been strictly followed by the Respondent management. As the

recruitment process was over and the Petitioner did not satisfy the eligibility criteria, the Petitioner was not entitled to be

738

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

taken in service. With the above averments, the Respondents submitted for dismissal of the claim petition filed by the

Petitioner as devoid of merit and is to be rejected.

4.

As per the averments of both the sides, the following points are to be determined:

I.

Whether the termination order orally issued by the Respondents is illegal and bad in Law and in violation

of Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and provisions of Sec.25 N of the Industrial Disputes Act,

1947.

II. Whether the Petitioner is eligible to get employment under the Respondents’ management in obedience of

the direction of the judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India passed n the case of Life Insurance

Corporation of India and another etc., Vs. D.V. Anil Kumar etc., in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005?

III. Whether the Respondents have violated the provisions under Sec.25 N of the Industrial Disputes Act,

1947?

IV. Whether the Petitioner is entitled to get employment under the Respondents and also eligible to get all the

consequential benefits including back wages and

V) To what relief the Petitioner is entitled to get?

5.

During the course of hearing of this case, the Petitioner has been examined herself as WW1 and has also relied

on six documents relied by her in support of her claim which have been marked as Ex.W1 to W6. On the other hand,

the Respondents have examined Sri K. Somasekhar Rao, the Sr. Manager, E & OS Department of the Respondent

management as MW1 and relied on two documents which have been marked as Ex.M1 and M2.

6.

I have already heard the Learned Counsel for both the sides in the matter.

7.

During the course of argument, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner contended that the

Petitioner was working in the office of the 2nd Respondent i.e., Life Insurance Corporation of India, Kothagudem with

effect from 17.4.2006 and continued in the same capacity upto 23.1.2013 as a daily wager. She has filed the work

particulars like the attendance register details, and the wage vouchers. The contention of the Respondents that the

Petitioner was purely taken as a daily wager under daily wage basis on 17.4.2006 and as and when need arose and

situation demanded the Respondents corporation paid daily wages as applicable which clearly indicates that the

Petitioner worked intermittently as claimed by them. The Petitioner in her chief evidence affidavit has stated that she

was engaged in the Respondents’ corporation from 17.4.2006 to 23.1.2013. The management witness MW1 in his cross

examination has admitted that they have engaged the Petitioner from 2010 to 31.1.2013 and the Petitioner worked

continuously till the date of her termination with effect from 1.2.2013. MW1 also admitted that the document relied on

by the Petitioner indicates that the Petitioner has worked 240 days from 1.4.2012 to 31.1.2013. He contended that the

Petitioner has worked continuously for more than 240 days in a period of 12 months prior to the date of termination of

her service i.e., 31.1.2013. He contended that the termination of the workman by oral instructions which amounts to

illegal retrenchment as mandate procedure has not been followed as per Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

He also contended that as the Petitioner was working in the Respondents’ corporation from the year 2010 to 31.1.2013

continuously and has passed the test of continuous service of 240 days in the precedent 12 months. She is entitled to

get the benefit. The Petitioner in her evidence affidavit as well as in her claim statement has clearly stated that she was

not employed elsewhere till date and has prayed for full back wages. The Respondents have not made any attempt to

disprove her claim inspite of the fact, that the onus to that effect lies on them as held by the Hon’ble Apex Court form

time to time. He also contended that the Petitioner was under the employment of the Respondents’ management from

the year 2010 to 31.1.2013. Hence, the termination of service of the Petitioner orally with effect from 1.2.2013 is illegal

and violative of Sec.25 N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Thus, the Respondents may be directed to reinstate the

Petitioner in service with consequential benefits like full back wages from the date of her termination with effect from

1.2.2013 to the date of reinstatement, with 18% of interest. He also contended to pass award by setting aside the

termination order issued orally to the Petitioner with effect from 1.2.2013 and direct the Respondents management to

reinstate the Petitioner into service together with consequential benefits with full back wages.

8.

On the other hand, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondents contended that the claim

petition filed by the Petitioner is not maintainable. He contended that in obedience to the direction of the Hon’ble

Supreme Court of India passed in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005, the Respondents issued employment notice on

20.5.2011 mentioning the eligibility criteria inviting applications from the eligible candidates to absorb the daily wagers.

He also contended that broadly the eligibility criteria are as under which is quoted below for ready reference:

a) All temporary persons working in LIC of India for more than 5 years as on 18.1.2011.

b) Possessing minimum eligible qualification and age as prescribed by the LIC of India at the time of their

entering in to LIC of India.

c) Candidates have to submit the copies of proof of working with the Corporation for more than 5 years as on

18.1.2011 duly signed by the Chief/Sr/Branch Manager of the Branch Office, Manager (P & IR) /Manager

(OS) of the respective Divisional Office.

d) The onus of furnishing the authentic documentary proof for the above at the time of submission of the

application shall be on the candidate.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

739

He contended that those who have not fulfilled the above eligibility criteria, their applications have not been considered.

The Petitioner has not fulfilled the above criteria for which her application was rejected. The Petitioner has admittedly

worked in the Life Insurance Corporation of India but she was continued upto 31.1.2013. The Petitioner has not

complied with the above criteria for which, her case was not considered. He further contended that the Respondents

corporation had taken persons on daily wages whenever need arose and situation demanded. The Petitioner herein was

purely taken as a daily wager under the category of daily wage basis from 2010 onwards that too intermittently. When

ever the need arose and situation demanded, the Respondent corporation paid daily wages to the workers as applicable.

Therefore, the question of joining date as claimed by the Petitioner as 17.4.2006 is not correct. The Petitioner has not

been engaged by the Respondents’ management on 17.4.2006, and her services were purely on daily wage basis. As

the Petitioner has not fulfilled the minimum criteria i.e., completion of five years of service as on the cutoff date, her

case was not considered. The Petitioner was not eligible for the written test as per the guidelines of the Apex Court.

The burden of proof lies on the Petitioner only with regard to compliance of the eligibility criteria as decided by the

Hon’ble Apex Court, and her continuous service as contended by her in her petition. The Petitioner was taken into

service as a daily wager at her request the Respondents’ corporation as and when work arose. Since the Petitioner has

not fulfilled the required criteria in obedience to the employment notice, her application was not considered. Since the

Petitioner has not worked 240 days continuously in a year, she is not entitled for retrenchment compensation as provided

under Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. She was only taken as a daily wager under the category of “daily

wager” intermittently. Hence, compliance of Sec.25N of the Disciplinary Authority does not arise. The Petitioner was

never appointed under the management of Life Insurance Corporation of India (Employment Of Temporary Staff)

Instructions, 1993 dated 28.6.1993 nor under any other instructions issued by the Corporation from time to time.

Therefore, the termination of the services of the Petitioner does not arise. The service of the Petitioner was not taken

further by the Respondents’ at any point of time. The Petitioner has never worked in the office of the 2nd Respondent

with effect from 17.4.2006 to 31.1.2013 continuously. The Petitioner has made up a false story in order to get

employment. The contention of the Petitioner that there is vacancy in the office of the Respondents’ corporation is

totally false. Since the Petitioner has worked on temporary basis, the question of her regularization does not arise.

Since the Petitioner had been engaged on daily wage basis and has not worked 240 days continuously in a year, he is not

entitled to get retrenchment compensation and he is not also entitled for regularization. He further contended that

pursuant to the employment notice, the Petitioner has not fulfilled the eligibility criteria that is why her case was not

considered. She has not worked continuously for a period of five years before issuance of the employment notice in

compliance to the order of the Apex Court. Therefore, the Petitioner is not eligible to get any employment. Lastly, he

contended that though the Petitioner has relied on her working particulars like, copies of wage register, wage slips,

statement of account of Andhra Bank. Those documents clearly go to show that she has worked from December, 2010 to

January, 2013 and the payment of wages also shows that she has not been paid for the entire month. Those work

particulars of the Petitioner is sufficient to show that the Petitioner has not completed 240 days in a year. Therefore,

basing on the documents relied on by the Petitioner it is sufficient to hold that the Petitioner is not entitled to get

compensation benefit and the Respondents have not violated any of the provision as required under Sec.25N of the

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Petitioner has not relied on any document to show that she has complied the

requirement of the employment notice issued by the Respondent corporation, pursuant to the direction of the Hon’ble

Apex Court passed in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005. Mere admission of MW1 that the Petitioner has worked 240

days in a year is not sufficient to prove her case in absence of any cogent evidence. When the Petitioner was working as

a sweeper on daily wages basis she has to prove how she worked more than 240 days in a year and what was her working

hour per day in the office of the Respondents’ management.

9.

Point No.I: On consideration of the rival contentions of both the sides, it is seen that the Learned Counsel

appearing for the Petitioner has already contended that the Petitioner was working in the Respondents’ organization from

the year 2006 to 2013 and she has completed five years of service. He has also contended that again the Petitioner

worked under the Respondents from 1.4.2011 to 31.1.2013 and for the above periods she has got difference of minimum

wages, as per the order of the Regional Labour Commissioner(C). But WW1 in her cross examination has clearly

admitted that the Petitioner has not filed any document to show that she has worked under the Respondents from a year

from 2006 to 2013 and she has received the difference of wages from 1.4.2011 to 31.1.2013. Admittedly, except, the

work particulars of the Petitioner i.e., the vouchers from the month of April, 2006 to 31.3.2007 and copy of the wage

register for the month of December, 2010 to January, 2013, no other documents have been relied on by the workman

towards receipt of salary from the Respondents’ management. Those work particulars of the Petitioner clearly shows

that the Petitioner has only worked from the month of May, 2010 to January, 2013, except the month of July, 2011,

maximum for a period of two years and seven months intermittently as a casual labourer. No other documents have

been filed from the side of the workman to show that she was working continuously under the Respondents. The

Learned Counsel for the Petitioner further admitted that the Petitioner has not received either any appointment letter

or any termination letter as because her appointment is oral and termination is also oral. When no documents are relied

on from the side of the workman and no averment is made in her claim statement regarding her working period from

2006-2013 under the Respondents management, it can not be stated that the workman has completed five years of

service under the Respondents’ management. The Workman has relied on the judgement of the Hon’ble Apex Court

decided in Civil Appeal No.953-968 of 2005 along with the certificate of conciliation issued by the conciliation officer.

The Respondents have also not disputed the judgement of the Hon’ble apex Court passed in Civil Appeal No.953-968 of

2005. But the Respondents stated that pursuant to the judgement of the Apex Court, the Respondents issued employment

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

notice to the casual workers who were coming under the eligibility criteria to be engaged permanently in the

Respondents’ organization. The workman has nowhere stated that she has fulfilled the eligibility criteria to be appointed

under the Respondents’ management. The workman has also not filed any document to show that how she has complied

the eligibility criteria to be regularized as a labourer under the Respondents’ organization. Nor she has filed any

document to show under which manner her application was not considered and accepted. The Learned Counsel for the

workman has further contended that when MW1 in his cross examination has admitted that the Petitioner was working at

Kothagudem as a daily wager intermittently, there is no need of having any such document to that effect. On the other

hand, the Learned Counsel for the Respondents’ submitted that at Kothagudem office whenever there was need, they

used to engage daily labourers in their office, but not continuously. The Respondents in their counter has admitted that

the workman was working as a daily wager intermittently as because she was working as a daily labourer as and when

required, that does not mean that she was working continuously under the Respondents. He also admitted that the

documents relied on by the workman/Petitioner clearly shows that from December, 2010 till January, 2013 she worked

there and she has submitted the documents to that effect. If the workman has worked from the year 2010 to 31.1.2013

continuously, what prevented her to file any other documents for that period i.e., from 2010 onwards. As because MW1

admitted that the workman was working from the year 2010 to 31.1.2013 continuously till the date of her termination,

without any documentary evidence it cannot be stated that the workman has completed 240 days of work continuously

in a year, and her work was perennial in nature. Unless and until, the Petitioner workman would prove that she has

worked continuously for a period of 240 days in a year, and her work was perennial in nature it cannot be stated that the

workman is illegally terminated from service. It is the case of the Petitioner workman that she joined in the Respondent

organization orally and her termination was oral, but it is not known the actual date of her joining and actual date of her

termination. In absence of any such cogent evidence it cannot be stated that the workman has worked continuously

under the Respondents’ organization for a period of 240 days in a year and her work was perennial in nature and her

termination is illegal, when the Respondents have categorically stated that they have engaged the services of the

workman intermittently as and when required. In fact no satisfactory evidence is available before this Tribunal to

consider that the termination order issued by the Respondents orally is illegal, and bad in Law and in violation of

Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and the provisions of Sec.25 N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

Thus, Point No. I is answered accordingly.

11.

Point No. II: The Petitioner has contended that she has completed five years of service under the Respondents’

management and she is eligible to get the employment under the Respondents’ management pursuant to the judgement

of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India passed in the case of Life Insurance Corporation of India and another etc., Vs.

D.V. Anil Kumar etc., in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005. Admittedly, the Petitioner has nowhere stated that when

she applied for the post and when her application was rejected. The Respondents have fairly stated that pursuant to the

above stated judgement, they had issued employment notice with the required criteria, but as the Petitioner failed to

comply the required criteria, her case was not considered. The Petitioner has not stated in which way she had complied

the employment notice issued by the Respondents’ organization, and in which manner her application was rejected.

When no document was produced from the side of the Petitioner/workman to show that whether she has complied the

eligibility criteria mentioned in the employment notice pursuant to the judgement of the Hon’ble Apex Court, passed in

Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005, it cannot be stated that the Petitioner is eligible to get an employment under the

Respondents’ organization, in view of the above said order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

Thus, Point No.II is answered accordingly.

12.

Point Nos. III to V:. All these three points are taken up together for convenient discussion as their answer give

rise to the same facts and logic involved for final discussion. In view of the observations made in Point No.I, it has

already been held that the Petitioner/workman has not worked continuously for a period of 240 days in a year under the

Respondents’ management and her work was perennial in nature. Therefore, the Respondents have not issued any

notice as provided under Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. In fact, as the Petitioner has worked

intermittently as a daily wage labourer under the Respondents’ organization she is not entitled to get any compensation

under Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and the Respondents have not violated any such provisions and in the

circumstances stated above, the Petitioner workman is not entitled to get any other relief.

Thus, Point Nos.III to V are answered accordingly.

ORDER

In view of the fore gone discussion, the petition is dismissed. Under the circumstances, there is no order as to costs.

Award is passed accordingly. Transmit.

petition under Sec. 2A(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 against the Respondents Life Insurance Corporation of

bad in law and violative of Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and Section 25 N of the Industrial Disputes

Act, 1947 and also judgement of the Hon’ble Apex Court decided in the case of Life Insurance Corporation of India

and another etc., Vs. D.V. Anil Kumar etc., in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005 and consequently directing the

744

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Respondents’ corporation to reengage the Petitioner in service with all consequential benefits including back wages in

the interest of justice.

2.

The case of the Petitioner as averred in claim petition in brief as follows:

The Petitioner was initially engaged as a Peon/Casual Labourer in the office of the 2nd Respondents with effect from

12.1.2008 and continued in the same capacity upto 23.1.2013. It is stated that the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in the

case of Life Insurance Corporation of India and etc., Vs. D.V. Anil Kumar etc., in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005

has directed the Respondents’ corporation to absorb casual labourers employed under them as per the scheme submitted

before the Hon’ble Court. According to which “One time limited examination for those temporary persons who are

working in Life Insurance Corporation of India for more than five years and who had possessed minimum eligible

qualification and age as prescribed at the time of entry into LIC of India would be considered. For this purpose, LIC

of India will hold a limited written examination which will be in the vernacular language with a limited syllabus which

will be announced in advance. The successful short listed candidates shall be called for the interview. Such of those

persons who are successful in the interview shall be initially appointed and posted anywhere in the respective Zone.” It

is also submitted that the Petitioner was working as a casual labourer for a long time without any blemish. The

Respondents’ Corporation is an Industry covered under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Since more than 100

workers/employees were working under the Respondents’ corporation, the provisions of retrenchment under Sec.25N of

the Chapter V-B of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 are applicable in the instant case of termination. The Respondents’

corporation has not followed the same mandatory procedure contained under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 while

terminating the service of the Petitioner. It is also submitted that being aggrieved by the oral termination order of the

Respondents’ corporation the Petitioner approached the conciliation officer i.e., Assistant Labour Commissioner (C) for

redressal of his grievance. The said conciliation officer has initiated one conciliation proceedings on 12.6.2013 and

completed on 26.7.2013 as no settlement was arrived in the proceedings and lastly submitted his report. Therefore, i)

the Petitioner was constrained to file this petition challenging the termination of the Petitioner by the Respondents which

is in violation of Sec.25N of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as well as Articles 14 and 21 of the

Constitution of India. ii) the termination of the services of the Petitioner by the Respondents is in violation of the

judegment of the Hon’ble Apex Court as referred above. (ii) the job which the Petitioner was performing in the

Respondents’ corporation is of perennial in nature and the post is still lying vacant. The termination of services of the

Petitioner without following mandatory procedure is a colourable Act coupled with the malafide intention. iv) the

Petitioner is not able to procure any employment/work in other organizations till date, thus, he is entitled of immediate

regularization and with the above averments the Petitioner has filed this case claiming the relief mentioned above.

3.

The Respondents filed counter challenging the claim of the Petitioner on the ground of its maintainability

which runs as follows:

It is stated that pursuant to the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dated 18.1.2011 passed in C.A. No.953-968

of 2005, the LIC of India issued an employment notice dated 20.5.2011 calling for applications for recruitment of peons

from the eligible persons, which are quoted below:

a) All temporary persons working in LIC of India for more than 5 years as on 18.1.2011.

b) Possessing minimum eligible qualification and age as prescribed by the LIC of India at the time of their

entering into LIC of India

c) Candidates have to submit the copies of proof of working with the Corporation for more than 5 years as on

18.1.2011 duly signed by the Chief/Sr/Branch Manager of the Branch Office, Manager (P & IR)/Manager

(OS) of the respective Divisional Office.

d) The onus of furnishing the authentic documentary proof for the above at the time of submission of the

application shall be on the candidate.

It is submitted that in compliance to the orders of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, the Respondents’ corporation

released one notification calling for applications from the eligible candidates at various Divisional offices on or before

3.6.2011 which was the cut-off date. All the applications received under Hyderabad Division were forwarded to the

Zonal Office, Hyderabad and after verification, written test was conducted on 26.6.2011 by the Zonal Office for all

such eligible candidates who were eligible to the post as per the norms/eligibility criteria fixed by the Hon’ble Supreme

Court of India. It is further submitted that the Respondents’ corporation had taken persons as daily wagers whenever

need arose and situation demanded. The Petitioner was purely taken as a daily wager, under the category of daily wage

basis from July, 2010 onwards, that too intermittently. In fact, the Yellandu SO was inaugurated on 17.1.2008 and

thereafter whenever need arose and situation demanded the Respondents’ corporation paid daily wages as applicable.

Hence, the question of joining date as 12.2.2008 is not correct. The Petitioner has not worked for five years and has not

fulfilled his minimum service of five years as on the cut off date. The Petitioner was not even eligible for the written test

as per the guidelines of the Apex Court. The burden of proof lies on the Petitioner only with regard to compliance of the

eligibility criteria as decided by the Hon’ble Apex Court and his continuous service as contended by him in his petition.

In fact the Petitioner had been taken as daily wager on his request by the Respondents’ corporation i.e., in the office of

RespondentsNo.2 as and when work arose. The Petitioner has not fulfilled the guidelines of the Apex Court as per the

notification dated 20.5.2011 given by the LIC for submitting the application as a daily wager before the date fixed by

the LIC. Therefore, the Petitioner is not eligible as per the LIC notification. The Petitioner is not even eligible for

retrenchment compensation as provided under Sec. 25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as he had not completed

one year of service continuously. He had been taken as a daily wager under the category of daily wager intermittently.

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

745

Therefore, compliance of Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 does not arise. The Respondents’ corporation

has never issued any appointment letter to the Petitioner as he was neither appointed under the LIC (Employment and

Temporary Staff) Instructions, 1993 dated 28.6.1993 nor under any other instructions issued by the corporation from

time to time. Therefore, the termination of service of the Petitioner does not arise at all. His services were not taken

further in strict compliance of the order of the Hon’ble Apex Court in Civil Appeal Nos.953-968 of 2005. The claim of

the Petitioner that he was engaged as a daily wager in the office of the 2nd Respondent with effect from 12.1.2008 is not

correct. As per the records of the Respondents the Petitioner never worked continuously from 12.1.2008 to 21.3.2011.

The vouchers submitted by the Petitioner clearly shows that those are the payment vouchers relating to daily wagers for

the service taken by the corporation. Therefore, the plea of the Petitioner that he worked continuously as daily

wager/casual labour is not correct. It is further submitted that as the Petitioner was not engaged by the corporation, the

question of his termination does not arise. So also the question of violation of any provisions either under the Industrial

Disputes Act, 1947 or under the Constitution of India does not arise. It is further submitted that the contention of the

Petitioner that still the posts are lying vacant is not correct. It is also submitted that the corporation has not employed

any workman on temporary basis for the past seven years. But the corporation is engaging the persons purely on daily

wage basis only depending upon the requirement of the office. The daily wagers were paid according to the applicable

Laws in force. Therefore, the office has never exploited the workman at any point of time. The Respondents have also

submitted that the LIC of India was not indulging unfair labour practice. As it is need based category we have engaged

the Petitioner as daily wager as and when the situation demands and the corporation paid the due wages as applicable.

It is further submitted that the Hon’ble Apex Court vide its order dated 18.1.2011 has stated that such of those

temporary employees who do not apply and are or not successful shall cease to be in the employment. Those

temporary persons, who were not governed by the order of the Hon’ble Apex Court shall cease to be in the employment.

Therefore, as the Petitioner was not taken further, the question of reengaging him by the Respondents’ corporation does

not arise and it will be contrary to the guidelines fixed by the Hon’ble Apex Court. It is stated that not engaging the

services of a daily wager is in obedience of the above order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India. As per the

employment notification dated 20.5.2011 the candidates who do not satisfy the eligibility conditions are liable to be

disqualified at any stage of the selection which has been strictly followed by the Respondents’ management. as the

recruitment process was over and the Petitioner did not satisfy the eligibility criteria, the Petitioner was not entitled to be

taken in service. With the above averments, the Respondents submitted for dismissal of any the claim petition filed by

the Petitioner as devoid of merit and is to be rejected.

4.

As per the averments of both the sides, the following points are to be determined:

I.

Whether the termination order orally issued by the Respondents is illegal and bad in Law and in violation

of Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and provisions of Sec.25 N of the Industrial Disputes Act,

1947.

II. Whether the Petitioner is eligible to get employment under the Respondents’ management in obedience of

the direction of the judgement of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India passed n the case of Life Insurance

Corporation of India and another etc., Vs. D.V. Anil Kumar etc., in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005?

III. Whether the Respondents have violated the provisions under Sec.25 N of the Industrial Disputes Act,

1947?

IV. Whether the Petitioner is entitled to get employment under the Respondents and also eligible to get all the

consequential benefits including back wages and

V. To what other relief the Petitioner is entitled to get?

5.

During the course of hearing of this case, the Petitioner has been examined himself as WW1 and has relied on

the work particulars of the workman i.e., the vouchers for the month of June, 2012 to January, 2013. The copy of the

wage registers for the month of June, 2012 to January, 2013 and statement of Account from Andhra Bank and has not

marked any documents relied by him in support of his claim. The same are marked as Ex. X1 to X3 by the Court for

convenience. On the other hand, the Respondents has examined Sri K. Somasekhar Rao, Sr. Manager, E & OS

Department of the Respondents’ management as MW1 and relied on two documents which have been marked as Ex.M1

and M2.

6.

I have already heard the Learned Counsel for both the sides in the matter.

7.

During the course of argument, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner contended that the

Petitioner was working in the office of the 2nd Respondent i.e., Life Insurance Corporation of India, SO, Yellandu with

effect from 12.1.2008 and continued in the same capacity upto 23.1.2013 as a daily temporary Class IV employee. He

has filed the work particulars like the details of temporary class IV employees engaged in the office as on 21.2.2012.

The contention of the Respondents that the Petitioner was purely taken as a daily wager under the category of Peon on

12.1.2008 and as and when need arose and situation demanded the Respondents corporation paid daily wages as

applicable, which clearly indicates that the Petitioner worked intermittently as claimed by them. The Petitioner in his

chief evidence affidavit has stated that he was engaged in the Respondents’ corporation from 12.1.2008 to 23.1.2013.

The management witness MW1 in his cross examination has admitted that they have engaged the Petitioner

intermittently upto 31.1.2011 and from 1.4.2011 to 31.1.2013 and the Petitioner worked continuously till the date of his

termination with effect from 1.2.2013. MW1 also admitted that the calculation sheet relied on by the Petitioner

indicates that the Petitioner has worked 240 days from 1.4.2012 to 31.1.2013. He contended that the Petitioner has

worked continuously for more than 240 days in a period of 12 months prior to the date of termination of his service i.e.,

746

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

31.1.2013. He contended that the termination of the workman by oral instructions which amounts to illegal retrenchment

as mandate procedure has not been followed as per Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. He also contended that

as the Petitioner was working in the Respondents’ corporation from 1.4.2011 to 31.1.2013 continuously and has passed

the test of continuous service of 240 days in the precedent 12 months. He is entitled to get the benefit. The Petitioner in

his evidence affidavit as well as in his claim statement has clearly stated that he was not employed elsewhere till date

and has prayed for full back wages. The Respondents have not made any attempt to disprove his claim inspite of the

fact, that the onus to that effect lies on them as held by the Hon’ble Apex Court form time to time. He also contended

that the Petitioner was under the employment of the Respondents’ management from 1.4.2011 to 31.1.2013. Hence, the

termination of service of the Petitioner orally with effect from 1.2.2013 is illegal and violative of Sec.25 N of the

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Thus, the Respondents may be directed to reinstate the Petitioner in service with

consequential benefits like full back wages from the date of his termination with effect from 1.2.2013 to the date of

reinstatement, with 18% of interest. He also contended to pass award by setting aside the termination order issued

orally to the Petitioner with effect from 1.2.2013 and direct the Respondents management to reinstate the Petitioner into

service together with consequential benefits with full back wages.

8.

On the other hand, the Learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Respondents contended that the claim

petition filed by the Petitioner is not maintainable. He contended that in obedience to the direction of the Hon’ble

Supreme Court of India passed in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005, the Respondents issued employment notice on

20.5.2011 mentioning the eligibility criteria inviting applications from the eligible candidates to absorb the daily

wagers. He also contended that broadly the eligibility criteria are as under which is quoted below for ready reference:

a) All temporary persons working in LIC of India for more than 5 years as on 18.1.2011.

b) Possessing minimum eligible qualification and age as prescribed by the LIC of India at the time of their

entering in to LIC of India.

c) Candidates have to submit the copies of proof of working with the Corporation for more than 5 years as on

18.1.2011 duly signed by the Chief/Sr/Branch Manager of the Branch Office, Manager (P & IR) /Manager

(OS) of the respective Divisional Office.

d) The onus of furnishing the authentic documentary proof for the above at the time of submission of the

application shall be on the candidate.

He contended that those who have not fulfilled the above eligibility criteria, their applications have not been considered.

The Petitioner has not fulfilled the above criteria for which his application was rejected. The Petitioner has admittedly

worked in the Life Insurance Corporation of India, but he was continued upto 31.1.2013. The Petitioner has not

complied with the above criteria, for which his case was not considered. He further contended that the Respondents

corporation had taken persons on daily wages, whenever need arose and situation demanded. The Petitioner herein was

purely taken as a daily wager under the category of daily wage basis from July, 2010 onwards that too intermittently.

The Yellandu, SO was inaugurated on 17.1.2008 and thereafter whenever the need arose and situation demanded, the

Respondents’ corporation paid daily wages to the workers as applicable. Therefore, the question of joining date as

claimed by the Petitioner as 12.1.2008 is not correct. The Petitioner has not been engaged by the Respondents’

management on 12.1.2008, and his services were purely on daily wage basis. As the Petitioner has not fulfilled the

minimum criteria i.e., completion of five year of service as on the cutoff date, his case was not considered. The

Petitioner was not eligible for the written test as per the guidelines of the Apex Court. The burden of proof lies on the

Petitioner only with regard to compliance of the eligibility criteria as decided by the Hon’ble Apex Court, and his

continuous service as contended by him in his petition. The Petitioner was taken into service as a daily wager at his

request in the Respondents’ corporation as and when work arose. Since the Petitioner has not fulfilled the required

criteria in obedience to the employment notice, his application was not considered. Since the Petitioner has not worked

240 days continuously in a year, he is not entitled for retrenchment compensation as provided under Sec.25N of the

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. He was only taken as a daily wager under the category of “daily wager” intermittently.

Hence, compliance of Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 does not arise. The Petitioner was never appointed

under the management of Life Insurance Corporation of India (Employment Of Temporary Staff) Instructions, 1993

dated 28.6.1993 nor under any other instructions issued by the Corporation from time to time. Therefore, the termination

of the services of the Petitioner does not arise. The service of the Petitioner was not taken further by the Respondents at

any point of time. The Petitioner has never worked in the office of the 2nd Respondents with effect from 12.1.2008 to

31.1.2013 continuously. The Petitioner has made up a false story in order to get employment. The contention of the

Petitioner that there is vacancy in the office of the Respondents’ corporation is totally false. Since the Petitioner has

worked on temporary basis, the question of his regularization does not arise. Since the Petitioner had been engaged on

daily wage basis and has not worked 240 days continuously in a year, he is not entitled to get retrenchment

compensation and he is not also entitled for regularization. He further contended that pursuant to the employment notice,

the Petitioner has not fulfilled the eligibility criteria that is why his case was not considered. He has not worked

continuously for a period of five years before issuance of the employment notice in compliance to the order of the

Hon’ble Apex Court. Therefore, the Petitioner is not eligible to get any employment. Lastly, he contended that though

the Petitioner has relied on his working particulars like, copies of wage register, wage slips, statement of account of

Andhra Bank. Those documents clearly go to show that he has worked from June, 2012 to January, 2013 and the

payment of wages also shows that he has not been paid for the entire month. Those work particulars of the Petitioner is

sufficient to show that the Petitioner has not completed 240 days in a year. Therefore, basing on the documents relied on

by the Petitioner it is sufficient to hold that the Petitioner is not entitled to get compensation benefit and the Respondents

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

747

have not violated any of the provision as under Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Petitioner has not

relied on any document to show that he has complied the requirement of the employment notice issued by the

Respondents’ corporation, pursuant to the direction of the Hon’ble Apex Court passed in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of

2005. Mere admission of MW1 that the Petitioner has worked 240 days in a year is not sufficient to prove his case.

When the Petitioner was working as a casual labourer on daily wages basis he has to prove how he worked for more than

240 days in a year.

9.

Point No. I: On consideration of the rival contentions of both the sides, it is seen that the Learned Counsel

appearing for the Petitioner has already contended that the Petitioner was working in the Respondents’ organization from

the year 2008 to 2011 and he has completed five years of service. He has also contended that again the Petitioner

worked under the Respondents from 1.4.2011 to 31.1.2013 and for the above period he has got a difference of minimum

wages, as per the order of Regional Labour Commissioner(C). But WW1 in his cross examination has clearly admitted

that he has not filed any document to show that he has worked under the Respondents from the year 2008 to 2011 and he

has received the difference of wages from 1.4.2011 to 31.1.2013. Admittedly, except, the work particulars of the

Petitioner i.e., the vouchers from the month of June, 2012 to January, 2013 and copy of the wage register for the month

of June, 2012 to January, 2013 and statement of Andhra Bank, no other documents have been relied on by the workman

towards receipt of salary from the Respondents’ management. Those work particulars of the Petitioner clearly shows

that the Petitioner has only worked from the month of June, 2012 to January, 2013, maximum for a period of 8 months as

a casual labourer intermittently. No other documents were filed from the side of the workman to show that he was

working continuously under the Respondent. The workman further admitted that he has not received either any

appointment letter or any termination letter as because his appointment is oral and termination is also oral. When no

documents are relied on from the side of the workman and no averment is made in his claim statement regarding his

working period from 2008-2011 under the Respondents it can not be stated that the workman has completed five years of

service under the Respondents management. The workman has relied on the judgement of the Hon’ble Apex Court

decided in Civil Appeal No.953-968 of 2005 along with the certificate of conciliation issued by the conciliation officer.

The Respondents have also not disputed the judgement of the Hon’ble apex Court passed in Civil Appeal No.953-968 of

2005. But the Respondents stated that pursuant to the judgement of the Apex Court, the Respondents issued

employment notice to the casual workers who are coming under the eligibility criteria to be engaged permanently in the

Respondents organization. The workman has nowhere sated that he has fulfilled the eligibility criteria to be appointed

under the Respondents management. The workman has also not filed any document to show that how he has complied

the eligibility criteria to be regularized as a labourer under the Respondents organization. Nor he has filed any document

to show under which manner his application was rejected / and not accepted. The Learned Counsel for the workman

contended that when MW1 in his cross examination has admitted that the Petitioner was working at SO, Yellandu as a

daily wager intermittently, there is no need of having any such document to that effect. On the other hand, the Learned

Counsel for the Respondents submitted that when SO, Yellandu was established in the year 2008, whenever there is

need, they used to engage daily labourers in their office, but not continuously and the Respondents in their counter has

admitted that the workman was working as a daily wager intermittently as because he was working as a daily labourer as

and when required, that does not mean that he was working continuously under the Respondent. It is also noticed that

the document relied on by the workman Petitioner clearly shows that from the month of June, 2012 till January, 2013 he

has worked there and he has submitted documents to that effect. If the workman has worked from the year 1.4.2011 to

31.1.2013, what prevented him to file any document for that period i.e., from 1.4.2011 onwards. As because MW1

admitted that the workman was working from the 1.4.2011 to 31.1.2013 continuously till the date of his termination, it

can not be stated that the workman has completed 240 days of work continuously in a year and his work was perennial

in nature. Unless and until, the Petitioner workman would prove that he has worked continuously for a period of 240

days in a year and his work was perennial in nature it cannot be stated that the workman has been illegally terminated

from service. It is the case of the Petitioner workman that he joined in the Respondentsorganization orally and his

termination was oral but it is not known the actual date of his joining and actual date of his termination. In absence of

any such cogent evidence it cannot be stated that the workman has worked continuously under the Respondents

organization for a period of 240 days in a year and his work was perennial in nature and his termination is illegal when

the Respondents has categorically stated that they have engaged the services of the workman intermittently as and when

required. In fact no satisfactory evidence is available before this Tribunal to consider that the termination order orally

issued by the Respondents is illegal and bad in Law and in violation of Article 14 and 21 of the Constitution of India and

provisions of Sec.25 N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

Thus, Point No. I is answered accordingly.

11.

Point No.II:

The Petitioner has contended that he has completed five years of service under the

Respondents management and he is eligible to get the employment under the Respondents management pursuant to the

judgement of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India passed in the case of Life Insurance Corporation of India and another

etc., Vs. D.V. Anil Kumar etc., in Civil Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005. Admittedly, the Petitioner has nowhere stated

when he applied for the post and when his application was rejected. The Respondents has fairly stated that pursuant to

the above stated judgement, they have issued employment notice with the required criteria, but as the Petitioner failed to

comply the required criteria his case was not considered. The Petitioner has not stated in which way he has complied

the employment notice issued by the Respondents organization and in which manner his application was rejected.

When no document was produced from the side of the Petitioner workman to show whether he has complied the

eligibility criteria mentioned in the employment notice pursuant to the judgement of the Hon’ble Apex Court, in Civil

Appeal Nos. 953-968 of 2005, it cannot be stated that the Petitioner is eligible to get an employment under the

Respondents organization.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

Thus, Point No.II is answered accordingly.

12.

Point Nos. III to V:. All these three points are taken up together for convenient discussion, as their answer

give rise to the same facts and laws involved for final discussion, In view of the observations made in Point No.I, it has

already been held that the Petitioner workman has not worked continuously for a period of 240 days in a year under the

Respondents and his work was perennial in nature. Therefore, the Respondents have not issued any notice as provided

under Sec.25N of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. In fact, as the Petitioner worked intermittently as a daily wage

labourer under the Respondents organization he is not entitled to get any compensation under Sec.25N of the Industrial

Disputes Act, 1947 and the Respondents have not violated any such provision, and in the circumstances stated above, the

Petitioner workman is not entitled to get any other relief.

Thus, Point Nos.III to V are answered accordingly.

ORDER

In view of the fore gone discussion, the petition is dismissed. Under the circumstances, there is no order as to costs.

Award is passed accordingly. Transmit.

The claim statement on behalf of the North Guwahati Bottling Plant Labour Union was submitted by the

General Secretary of the Union stating inter-alia that the benefit of up-gradation of contract workers from unskilled to

semi-skilled and semi-skilled to skilled or highly skilled category in the concerned industry ought to have been made

effective with effect from 01.04.2014 in view of the Memorandum of Settlement dated 15.07.2013. The facts alleged by

the Union may briefly be stated as under. A large number of contract labours were working in the North Guwahati

Bottling Plant under IOCL for last more than 15 years and they were discharging the duties of semi-skilled, skilled and

754

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 2, 2019/MAGHA 13, 1940

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

highly skilled workers though they were being paid the wages and other benefits as were entitled to the unskilled

workers. The Union have been raising demand of up-gradation of benefit and ultimately an MOS was signed by the

North Guwahati Bottling Plant Labour Union and Contractors of North Guwahati Bottling Plant in presence of the

management before the Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), Guwahati on 15.07.2013 regarding revision of wages

and other benefits of contract labours under IOCL. It was further stated that as per the aforesaid settlement, wages and

other benefits were revised for 4 categories of contract labours namely unskilled, semi-skilled, skilled and highly skilled.

At that point of time semi skilled and highly skilled contract labours were not there in IOCL and it was agreed that a

Committee shall be formed by the management to explore the feasibility of introduction of semi-skilled and highly

skilled contract workers. After signing of the MOS dated 15.07.2013 management of IOCL formed a Committee to

explore feasibility for introduction of semi-skilled and highly skilled contract workers and the committee submitted its

recommendation before the management regarding categorization of jobs under semi skilled and highly skilled as well as

wage revision of all the 4 categories of contract labours. Thereafter the management issued a general Notification dated

22.10.2014 whereby it was notified that the recommendation of the aforesaid Committee was approved and all respective

HODs of IOCL (AOD) were requested to consider all 4 categories i.e. unskilled, skilled, semi-skilled and highly skilled

contract workers wherever applicable while initiating new contracts. It was further stated that although by Notification

dated 22.10.2014 it was stated that such up-gradation and categorization would be effective for all new Notice Inviting

Tender to be issued subsequently , according to the Union, as per MOS dated 15.07.2013, the same up-gradation etc.

should have been made effective from 01.04.2014. On the basis of the aforesaid facts the Union prayed for an Award

directing the management to provide the benefits of up-gradation as per general Notification dated 22.10.2014 to the

contract workers at North Guwahati Bottling Plant with effect from 01.04.2014.

4.

Written statement of the management side was submitted by Sr. Plant Manager, North Guwahati Bottling Plant

of IOCL wherein the claim raised by the Union was sought to be resisted. It was stated that at the time of signing the

MOS dated 15.07.2013 before the Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), Guwahati, there was no semi skilled and

highly skilled contract workers in the Bottling Plant of IOCL in regard to the ongoing contracts. However, after the

formation of the Committee to consider the feasibility of such up-gradation the Committee submitted its report

suggesting introduction of semi skilled and highly skilled workers and the management accepted the report and vide

general Notification dated 22.10.2014 it was clearly stated that henceforth the said new category of workers, i.e. semi

skilled and highly skilled, wherever applicable, would be considered against all new Notice Inviting Tenders of the

IOCL. According to the management, said up-gradation was to be made effective for all future tenders and was clearly

prospective in nature. The management prayed for dismissing the claim of the Union for granting revised pay as per

upgraded categorization of the workers retrospectively from 01.04.2014.

5.

Both sides examined one witness each. The workmen witness Sri Nabajit Sharma, General Secretary of the

North Guwahati Bottling Plant Labour Union stated that the MOS dated 15.07.2013 was regarding revision of wages and

other benefits of contract labours under IOCL with effect from 01.10.2012 for a period of 4 years. He further stated that

the Committee which was formed by the management to explore the feasibility for introduction of semi skilled and

highly skilled categories of workers in the IOCL submitted its report in the affirmative which was subsequently accepted

by the management. He admitted in his evidence on Affidavit that in the general Notification dated 22.10.2014 it

was mentioned that the “notification shall be effective for all new Notice Inviting Tenders to be issued subsequently”.

However, according to the Union, the benefits ought to have been extended to the respective categories of workers with

effect from 01.04.2014 which the management illegally denied. During cross-examination he denied the suggestion of

the management that settlements were to be implemented as per Notification dated 22.10.2014.

6.

The management witness Sri Kalyan Nath, the authorized Officer of the IOCL (AOD) deposed that through

Memorandum of Settlement signed between the Contractor Association and AOC Contractual Labour Union and

Mineral Oil Workers’ Union in presence of the Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central), Dibrugarh on 01.07 2013, was

for revision of wages and benefits of contract workers, it was agreed by the parties that semi- skilled and highly skilled

categories would be introduced in IOCL (AOD). He further stated that in spite of MOS dated 01.07.2013 North

Guwahati Bottling Plant Labour Union demanded a separate MOS which was signed on 15.07.2013 wherein the parties

agreed that at the relevant point of time semi-skilled and highly skilled contract workers were not present in IOCL

(AOD) and that such categories of workers would be introduced in future. A Committee was accordingly formed and

after acceptance of the report of the Committee said two categories i.e. semi skilled and highly skilled categories were to

be introduced. The witness denied that the Notification dated 22.10.2014 is to be made effective from 01.04.2014. He

further stated that skill categorization of workers is to be applied on the basis of circumstances and job requirement and

the benefits of new categories of semi skilled and highly skilled workers have already been extended to all such contract

workers from subsequent contracts. During cross-examination he admitted that wages and other benefits of the workers

are usually revised every 4 years. He further admitted that Exhibit-1 is the MOS dated 15.07.2013 which is effective

from 01.10.2012 to 30.09.2016. He denied the suggestion of the workmen side that Exhibit-2 dated 22.10.2014 was

completely unjustified and arbitrary.

7.

During argument, the learned Counsel appearing for the workmen side submitted that once introduction of new

categories of semi skilled and highly skilled workers were accepted by the management IOCL (AOD) it was obvious that

the benefit of such up-gradation plus wage revision ought to have been extended retrospectively to the categorized

workers from 01.04.2014. He further stated that the management hiding behind the Notification 22.10.2014 (Exhibit-2)

denied such benefits to the concerned category of workmen with effect from 01.04.2014 though such benefits were

extended to them subsequently from the year 2016. Learned Sr. Counsel appearing for the management side submitted

that MOS dated 15.07.2013 (Exhibit-1) categorically mentioned the following:

¹Hkkx IIµ[k.M 3(ii)º

Hkkjr dk jkti=k % iQjojh 2] 2019@ek?k 13] 1940

755

“Both the parties agreed that a committee be formed by the management of IOC Ltd. (AOD) to explore

feasibility for introduction of semi-skilled and highly-skilled category in line with industry practice and in

consultation with Contractor Worker Union i.e. NGBPLU & North Guwahati Contractor’s including modalities

of implementation of semi-skilled and highly-skilled category in IOCL(AOD) covering Marketing locations of

entire North East, NGBPLU and the North Guwahati Contractor’s agreed in principle that the committee so

formed by Management of IOCL(AOD) requested to submit their report/recommendations within four(4)

months from the date of constitution of the committee and thereafter endeavour should be made by IOCL(AOD)

management to implement the same latest by beginning of the calendar year 2014.” He further referred to the

general Notification dated 22.10.2014 (Exhibit-2) wherein the following has been categorically mentioned:

“The committee submitted the report with recommendations regarding categorization of jobs under Semi-

skilled and Highly-Skilled categories. The four categories of Contract Workers identified by the Committee are

attached as Annexure-I. The wage rate of Semi skilled and Highly skilled workers as per MOS dated 01.07.2013

is enclosed as Annexure-II for ready reference. Management has approved the recommendations of the

committee and it has been decided that, henceforth the above mentioned new categories i.e. Semi skilled

category and Highly skilled category of contract workers wherever applicable as per job requirements, shall be

also considered against all new tenders of IOCL(AOD).” He also submitted that the demand of the workmen

side that the upgraded categorization of the contract labours ought to have been made as per Exhibit-1 was

completely misconstrued and misplaced since at that point of time there was no semi skilled and highly skilled

contract labours in the IOCL (AOD). He further stated that in terms of the general Notification (Exhibit-2)

categories of semi skilled and highly skilled workers were to be introduced from the subsequent contracts. It

was admitted by both the parties that all the categories of contract labours in the IOCL (AOD) i.e.

unskilled, semi skilled, skilled and highly skilled have been extended wages and benefits as applicable to them

from the year 2016.

8.

Admittedly, upgraded wages and corresponding benefits have already been extended to the respective

categories of contract workers from the year 2016. The short dispute is whether such benefits ought to have been

extended from 1.4.2014. From Ext-1 dated 15.7.2013 it appeared that the committee was requested to submit the report

regarding new categorization within four months. Subsequently, vide Ext-2 dated 22.10.14 the management approved the

recommendations of the committee and it was specifically mentioned that henceforth new categories namely, semi-

skilled and highly skilled workers, wherever applicable as per job requirement would be considered in all new tenders of

the IOCL (AOD). The workmen witness also admitted that the notification (Ext-2) would be effective for all new NITs

to be issued subsequently. On cumulative consideration of the evidence adduced by the parties including the documents

(Ext-1 & 2) it appeared that the new categories of contract workers, namely, semi-skilled and highly skilled were to be

introduced from subsequent contracts. Hence, the demand for retrospective effect of wages on the basis of new

categories from 1.4.2014 did not appear to be justified. Such categories were to be introduced from subsequent contracts

and admittedly, such categories were introduced as mentioned in Ext-2 and the up-graded wages etc were being paid to

the workers of respective categories from the year 2016. The action of the management, therefore, did not appear to be

unjust. Accordingly, the reference is disposed of with a no relief award.

Given under the hand and seal of this Tribunal on this 11th day of January, 2019.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

papers viz. W5/3 to W5/18 none has been identified or verified. The other witness Sri M.Abbas by whom the petitioner

contract he was deputed as the Security Guard by the Agency to work as Armed Guard at the LIC office.

18. Learned Authorized Representative for the workman has referred the judgment dated 18.03.2015 delivered by the

Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No. 6950/2009 (with C.A. No. 6951 to 6954/2009 and 6956/2009)TamilNadu

Terminated Full Time Temporary LIC Employees Association vs LIC of India & Others. The opposite party submits that

this Ruling does not apply to the facts and circumstances of the present case.

19. The aforesaid judgment dt. 18.03.2015 relates to an award adjudicated by CGIT, New Delhi and National Industrial

Tribunal, taking into account the fact and circumstances of the rererred matter, Hon’ble Supreme Court has held that the

award passed by CGIT in I.D. no. 27/1991 is legal and valid and the LIC was directed to ensure compliance accordingly.

The guidelines issued by the LIC have also been discussed by the Hon’ble Apex Court. While discussing the legal

proposition, Hon’ble Supre Court in para 27 of the above judgment has observed that the order passed by single Judge of

the Hon’ble High Court as well as Division Bench of the Hon’ble High Court, are contrary to the law and legal directions

laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, and accordingly the orders of the Hon’ble High Court were set aside by the

Hon’ble Apex Court, restoring the award of the CGIT.

20. Learned Authorized Representative for the management has relied upon the following citations;

1. (2011), 1,SCC, GM(OSD) Bengal, Nagpur Cotton Mills vs Bharat Lal & Another page 635.

2. (2010),11,SCC, MD, Hassan Cooperative Milk Producer’s Society Union Ltd. vs Asstt. Regional Director,

Employees State Insurance Corpn. page 537.

21.

Learned AR for the petitioner asserts that the above Rulings are not applicable in this case.

22.

After having heard the intellect arguments of both the parties, on perusal of the record available before the

Court, it is inferred that the petitioner has failed to prove that he was ever employed or appointed by the management of

LIC, and their existed any master servant relationship between therein. It is in record that the management has given a

contract to the Security Agency for deputing appropriate person to work as Security Guard and for duties performed

during the period in question, all the payment has been made by the Security Agency to the petitioner. Therefore, the

allegations regarding illegal termination of the service of the petitioner and withholding his payment for about 20

months, by the management, can not be accepted. The petitioner is not entitled to any relief.

23.

Award as above.
