In the present case, a reference was received from the appropriate Government vide letter
No. L-42012/3/2020-IR (DU) dated 13/02/2020 under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10
of the Act, for adjudication of a dispute, terms of which are as under:
SCHEDULE
“Whether the Service of the workman Sh. Divakar Ray and Shri Sapan Ray, were terminated on 30.01.2018
in an illegal and unjustified manner by M/s Asha Interprises Pvt. Ltd. ? “If no, whether the workman Sh.

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. Despite directions so given, Claimant union opted not to file the claim statement with the Tribunal.

AWARD
This is an application filed u/s 2A of the Id Act by the claimant challenging his termination of service by the
management as illegal and seeking the relief of reinstatement into service, payment of back wages and compensation.
In the claim petition the claimant has stated that he was employed with M/s Bharti Airtel Services Limited at
Aravali Criscent Vasant Kunj Phase II New Delhi as a F R Engineer Band SI w.e.f 25.09.2007. His last drawn salary
was Rs. 10000 per month. While the matter stood thus, in the month of March 2010 the management M/s Bharti Airtel
Services Limited was amalgamated with M/s Alcatel. Unfortunately the claimant fell ill and was under medical care at
Lion Hospital and Moolchand Hospital from 29.11.2008 to 17.12.2008. His absence was duly intimated to the
management and as per the prevailing practice and rules of the company medical leave was sanctioned in his favour
and the treatment expenditures were sanctioned by the Insurance company after verifying his employment and leave
status. After treatment the claimant reported for duty on 18.08.2008 but the management refused to take him on duty
and informed that his service has been terminated for unauthorized absence. The workman made several visits to the
office of the management requesting to take him back into service. He also requested for an experience certificate and
release letter which too was refused. On the contrary he was forced to sign several blank papers including a letter of
resignation without settling the account and clearing the dues of the claimant. This was so done in connivance of the
management with other companies to remove substantial number of employees from employment. Though the
medical reimbursement was allowed and the medical leave was granted the management took a wrong view of the
1072
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 4, 2022/JYAISTHA 14, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
matter and illegally terminated his service. Finding no other way the claimant workman served a legal notice on the
management on 08.07.2009. The notice though was received, the management least bothered to reply the same. The
workman became a victim of the situation and filed a civil suit bearing no. 676 of 2010 before the Senior Civil Judge
Delhi. Later on the said suit was withdrawn by the claimant on 20.05.2011 and the court granted him liberty to
approach the appropriate forum. The workman thereafter filed a claim petition before the labour commissioner Hari
Nagar New Delhi which was disposed of on the ground of lack of jurisdiction. The claimant then approach the Chief
Labour Commissioner Delhi where a conciliation proceeding was initiated. Since, no conciliation could be effected
and 45 days elapsed, the claimant came up with the present petition seeking the relief of reinstatement, back wages
and compensation for the act of illegal termination of his service by the management.
Being served with the notice the management M/s Bharti Airtel Services Limited filed WS. In the said WS
the management admitted that the claimant was in the service of the management till he voluntarily left the service on
receipt of full and final settlement of the dues. The management has pleaded that the claimant has misrepresented the
fact before the tribunal to derive some illegal benefits. It has been admitted that M/s Bharti Airtel Services Limited
amalgamated with M/s Lucent Network Management Service Limited in the month of March 2010. The company
directed and deputed some of its employees to work in the new company. However, the workman was not included in
the said list for his resignation and processing of his financial benefits in full and final settlement of the dues. An
amount of Rs. 4069.75/- was paid to the claimant towards final settlement. The management has denied that on
account of the business policy the service of the claimant was terminated, but the claimant himself left the service of
the management after taking his full and final dues. Thus, the management has emphatically pleaded that the service
of the claimant was never terminated and as such the question of illegal termination doesn’t arise. The other stand of
the management is that the claimant is not unemployed on account of termination of service. Rather he had left the
service of the management after receiving full and final settlement and for a better carrier. The stand of the claimant
that injustice was done to him for the illegal termination rendering him jobless is illegal. Thereby the management has
pleaded for dismissal of the claim.
The claimant filed replication stating therein that the stand taken by the management is false. It is also denied
that the claimant voluntarily left the service of the management for the better prospect after receiving the full and final
settlement. It has been stated that the management forcibly stopped the claimant from doing his services which
amounts to termination of service. The claimant has specifically denied about the settlement of claim between him and
the management. The other stand of the claimant is that the management is alleging falsely about his gainful
employment. Infact the claimant is now jobless.
On these rivals pleading the following issues were framed for adjudication.
ISSUES
1. Whether the service of the claimant has been terminated illegally as alleged.
2. Whether the claimant was ill during the period 29.11.2008 to 17.12.2008.
3. Whether the claimant had voluntarily left the service after receiving full and final settlement.
To substantiate their respective stand the claimant testified as WW1 and proved a series of documents marked as
exhibit WW1/1 to WW1/26. Besides that the claimant also examined another witness namely Rajesh Singh. These
documents include the correspondences made between the claimant and the management, the letter of appointment
issued by the management and the documents showing sanction of medical leave and sanction of the expenses for
reimbursement. The other witness examined by the claimant as WW2 is an employee of Raksha Health Insurance
TPA Pvt. Ltd. who has testified to the effect that a medical insurance was issued to the claimant and after perusal of
the documents produced by him the claim was settled. The document has been proved as WW2/M1. Similarly one of
the officer of the management testified as MW1 and produced few documents. 2 documents which have already been
marked as WW1/7 and WW1/8 are relied by him to prove that the claimant had left the service voluntarily after
receiving full and final settlement.
At the outset of the argument the Ld. A/R for the management submitted that the claimant since has alleged
illegal termination of his service leaving him jobless, the entire burden lies on him to prove the allegations. But the
claimant has not filed and document to prove that his service was terminated by the management and no evidence has
been placed on record to prove that the action of the management has rendered him jobless. Describing the claim as
false and frivolous the Ld. A/R for the management submitted that the claim is liable to be rejected for suppression of
material facts. The counter argument of the claimant is that this is a typical case of unfair labour practice and
victimization of the claimant in the hands of a mighty employer. It is not the claimant who is suppressing the facts but
the management is guilty of misleading the tribunal by suppressing material facts. Thus, on behalf of the claimant it is
argued that the burden has been properly discharged by the claimant and the primary burden being discharged the
same shifts on to the management and in this case the management has miserably failed to discharge the said burden
to prove that the claimant left the service after full and final settlement and he is gainfully employed.

FINDINGS
ISSUE NO.2 and 3
On perusal of the statement of claim and the written statement it is evidently clear that the claimant was in the
employment of the management M/s Bharti Airtel Services Limited from 25.09.2007 to 28.11.2008. It is admitted by
both the parties that the claimant’s relationship with the management came to an end w.e.f 28.11.2008. Whereas the
claimant describes this date as the date of illegal termination the management has explained that the employer and
employee relationship between the management and the claimant came to an end on that date when the claimant
voluntarily left the job after receipt of full and final settlement. In his sworn testimony the claimant has stated that
pursuant to the amalgamation the management issued a list of employees who were directed to work in the new
company i.e M/s Alcatel Limited. The name of the claimant was not included in the said list. The witness examined
on behalf of the management who is none other than the Assistant Manager of the company has stated during his cross
examination that the name of the claimant was not included in the list as he had voluntarily left the job on receipt of
full and final settlement. He further stated that this is not a case of termination but quitting the job by the claimant.
Basing on this evidence the Ld. A/R for the management argued that the claimant since alleges termination bears the
responsibility of proving the same. By drawing attention of the tribunal to the cross examination of the claimant
recorded in this proceeding he submitted that had it been a case of termination the letter of termination would have
been served on the claimant or the claimant would have alleged the matter before the labour inspector or would have
made correspondence with the officials of the management company. The claimant during cross examination has
admitted that he never wrote letters to the management alleging the termination and requesting reinstatement, but
explained that on several occasions he met the officials personally and requested to take him into service. But his
request was never acceded to.
Now it is to be seen if the claimant has been able to prove the alleged termination on the set evidence
adduced during the proceeding.
The definition of retrenchment as has been laid down u/s 2(oo)of the Id Act means termination by the
employer of the service of the workman for any reason whatsoever, otherwise than a punishment inflicted by way of
disciplinary action and shall not include voluntarily retirement of the workman. Thus, it is now it is to be seen if the
service of the claimant was terminated by the employer. Admittedly the claimant was not served with any letter of
termination or notice of termination. It is also not the case of the claimant that termination compensation was paid to
him. It is also not disputed that the claimant had not made any representation to the management requesting
reinstatement into service. The cessation of employer and employee relationship between the parties w.e.f 28.11.2008
is admitted by both the parties. The claimant in his statement on oath has stated that he never requested for
reinstatement as the termination in the formal sense never happened. Though, he went on requesting orally for work,
the same was not accepted. The management has on the contrary pleaded about the voluntary quitting of the job.
Admittedly the management is a big company having a wide network of service. As such it is expected of the
management to maintain all kind of record in respect of its employees. In this case the claimant has successfully
discharged the primary burden to the effect that his employee relationship with the management came to an end w.e.f
28.11.2008 when the management refused to take him into service. Thus, now it is incumbent upon the management
to prove if the said severance of status was for termination of service or for the voluntarily quitting by the claimant.
Besides examining one of the Assistant Manager as a witness the management has produced the salary slip of the
claimant for the month of November 2008 and another computer generated calculation sheet in which at the top it has
been mentioned as the full and final settlement of the claimant. These documents marked as WW1/7 and WW1/8 by
the claimant has been accepted by the management and confronted to the claimant. Besides these document no other
paper has been placed on record by the management. It is the stand of the management that when the company Bharti
Airtel merged with another company the claimant opted out of the employment for a better prospect and received the
full and final settlement. But surprisingly no document has been placed to make this tribunal believe that before
payment of full and final settlement a formal decision to that effect was taken by the management. It is surprising to
note that the management though throughout pleaded and argued about payment of some amount towards full and
final settlement, during cross examination the claimant was asked whether he received 4069.75/-towards net salary
payable. Of course the claimant gave an indecisive statement about the same. But that will not exonerate the
management of its responsibility of proving that the full and final settlement amount was paid to the claimant. The
document having the caption full and final settlement only reveals that Rs. 4069.75/- was paid to the claimant for net
salary payable. The rest part of the document is with regard to the income tax calculation. This document nowhere
shows that the amount paid to the claimant on 29.11.2008 was towards full and final settlement. In this document
though 29.11.2008 has been shown as the date of resignation, no document or evidence to that effect has been filed by
the management. The oral evidence of the management witness about the voluntary quitting of the claimant cannot be
accepted as proof since the companies like Bharti Airtel is supposed to maintain detail records of the employees
working, quitting or retiring alongwith the details payable and paid to them. Thus, the stand of the management that
the claimant had voluntarily left the job after receiving full and final settlement stands disproved. These issues are
accordingly answered against the management.
1074
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 4, 2022/JYAISTHA 14, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
ISSUE No.1
Now it is to be seen whether the claimant’s service was illegally terminated and he was made a victim of
unfair labour practice. The management has admitted that the claimant was the permanent employee of the
management. While answering issue no.2 and3 it has already been held that the cessation of the service of the
claimant was not the case of voluntary quitting but termination. Section 25F of the ID Act clearly provides that no
workman employed in any Industry who has been in continuous service for not less than one year under an employer
shall be retrenched by that employer until the workman has been given one month notice in writing indicating the
reason for retrenchment or the workman has been paid in lieu of the notice, wages for the period of notice and
retrenchment compensation which shall be equivalent to 15 days average pay for every completed year of continuous
service or any part thereof in access of 6 months. Here is the case where the management has admitted not to have
served retrenchment notice, notice pay in lieu of notice or the retrenchment compensation on the plea of voluntarily
quitting by the workman. But for the discussion made in the preceding paragraph and for the appreciation of both oral
and documentary evidence it is held that the management at the time of terminating the service of the claimant had
clearly violated the provisions of section 25F of the ID Act and the claimant is entitled to the compensation and relief
for the same.
During course of argument the Ld. A/R for the management advanced the stand that the claimant has been
gainfully employed and on that ground alone he is not entitled to compensation as claimed by him. He also argued that
the burden lies with the workman to prove that he is not gainfully employed and to do so he had to plead the same
specifically and adduce evidence. To support his stand he has relied upon the judgment of The Hon’ble High Court of
Delhi in the case of Thakur Singh Rawat and others vs. Jagjit Industry Limited (Manu/DE/1690/2004) and
submitted that it is always incumbent upon the workman to prove that he is not gainfully employed. This argument of
the management is again found unacceptable since, it is a common and standard procedure of law that a party
asserting existence of a particular fact bears the burden of proving the same. But a party cannot be called upon to
prove non existence of a particular fact. The claimant in this case has pleaded in the claim petition and in the rejoinder
that the action of the management in not accepting his service rendered him jobless. While deposing as a witness
under oath the claimant has also reiterated the same. Thus, the primary burden being discharged, by the claimant the
same now shifts on to the management to prove that the claimant is gainfully employed. The same view has been
taken by the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi in the case of Thakur Singh Rawat referred supra and relied upon by the
management. In paragraph 19 the Hon’ble Court have clearly stated that:-
“The state of employment or non employment of the workman is within the special knowledge of the
workman and therefore it should be his first duty to make an assertion that he was unemployed. Having so asserted in
this statement of claim he may even state on oath about his state of unemployment and nothing more is required to
prove his side of the case. It will then for the management to assert or prove if the workman was at all employed.”
In this case the claimant through his pleading and statement under oath has proved that he is unemployed.
But the management has miserably failed to prove that the workman is employed. Hence, it is concluded that the
claimant had never voluntarily quit the service of the management on receiving full and final settlement. It is also not
proved that after leaving the employment of the management he has been gainfully employed. This issue is
accordingly answered against the management.
Now the question left for decision is about the relief the claimant is entitled to. In the claim petition the
claimant has prayed for reinstatement into service with full back wages and compensation. The Ld. A/R for the
management by placing reliance in the case of General Manager Haryana Roadways vs. Rudhan Singh decided
by the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India in Appeal (Civil) 7501 of 2002 submitted that there is no rule of thumb
that in every case where the Industrial Tribunal gives a finding that the termination of service was in violation of
section 25F of the Id Act, the entire back wages should be awarded. The factors like the manner and method of
selection, and whether he was in adhoc, short term, daily wage, temporary and permanent nature, special qualification
etc should be weighed and balanced in taking a decision. He thereby argued that the claimant was in the employment
of management for 1 year and 2 months i.e. from 25.09.2007 to 28.11.2008. As such no order should be passed for the
back wage claimed.
The claimant argued that he was subjected to unfair labour practice and the management has resisted the
same. The provisions of section 2(ra) read with schedule V of the ID Act, the discharge or dismiss of a workman by
way of victimization or not in good faith but in colourable exercise of the employer’s right amounts to unfair labour
practice. The evidence in this case clearly shows that after amalgamation of Bharti Airtel with M/s Lucent Network
Management Services in March 2010 some of the employees were allowed to work in the new company whereas, the
claimant was denied and the management witness during cross examination has admitted that no reason was assigned
for his discontinuance. Thus, it is held to be a clear case of Victimization on account of unfair labour practice. Now it
is to be examined what relief the claimant can be granted. In the case of General Manager Haryana Roadways
referred supra the Hon’ble Supreme Court have held that one of the important factor which need to be considered for
grant of relief is the length of service the workman had rendered. If the workman had rendered a considerable period
of service and his service was wrongfully terminated he may be awarded full or partial back wages keeping in view
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : िून 4, 2022/ज् येष् ठ 14, 1944
1075
the fact that at his age and qualification he may not be in a position to get another employment. In this case the
claimant had worked for the management for 1 year and 2 months and it is not proved that he is gainfully employed.
Thus for none compliance of the provisions of section 25F he is entitled to the retrenchment compensation which shall
be equivalent to 15 days average pay for every completed year of continuous service or any part thereof in excess of 6
months which comes to 1 year service. In addition to that the claimant is also held entitled to one month notice pay.
The alleged termination happened in the year 2008 and after almost 13 years the litigation has come to an end. In the
mean time the claimant must have crossed the age of getting the employment anywhere else. Hence, he need to be
compensated for the loss of job on account of unfair labour practice meted to him.
In the case of Hari Nandan Prasad and Another vs. Employer I/R to Management FCI reported in
(2014)7 SCC 190 the Hon’ble Supreme Court have held that the power conferred upon Industrial Tribunal and Labour
Court by the Industrial Dispute Act is wide. The Act deals with Industrial Dispute, provides for conciliation,
adjudication and settlement and regulates the right of the parties and the enforcement of the awards and the settlement.
Thus, the act empowers the adjudicating authority to give relief which may not be permissible in common law or
justified under the terms of the contract between the employer and the workman. While referring to the judgment of
Bharat Bank Limited vs. Employees of the Bharat Bank Limited reported in (1950) LLJ 921 Supreme Court
the court came to hold that in setting the dispute between the employer and the workmen the function of the tribunal is
not confine to administration of justice in accordance with law. It can confer rights and privileges on either party
which it consider reasonable and proper though those may not be within the terms of any existing agreement. It can
create new rights and obligations between them which it considers essential for keeping industrial peace.
Here is a case where as indicated above the workman lost his job for the unfair labour practice and keeping
his victimization in view it is felt proper to issue a direction to the management to pay him compensation and other
statutory entitlement in lieu of reinstatement since, the company in which the claimant was working has merged with
another company in the meantime. Hence, ordered.
ORDER
The claim petition be and the same is allowed in favour of the workman. It is held that the action of the
management in terminating the service of the claimant amounts to unfair labour practice and the said termination was
made in clear violation of the provisions of section 25F of the ID Act. The management is thus, directed to pay one
month last drawn salary as the notice pay, in lieu of one month notice, pay the amount equivalent to 15 days salary for
1year of service. In addition to that the management shall pay Rs. 5,00000/- as a lumpsum compensation to the
claimant for the illegal termination of service in lieu of reinstatement and back wages. The management is further
directed to pay this amount to the claimant within 3 months from the date of the publication of the award failing which
the amount shall carry interest @9% per annum from the date of alleged illegal termination and till the final payment
is made. Send a copy of this award to the appropriate government for notification as required under section 17 of the
ID act 1947.

This case coming up for final hearing on 01.12.2021 and this Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court on
20.05.2022 passed the following:
AWARD
1.
In exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of Sub-section (1) and Sub-section 2(A) of Section 10
of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (Act 14 of 1947) the Government of India, Ministry of Labour by its
order No. L-12011/18/2017-IR (B-I) dated 22.08.2017 referred the following dispute for adjudication by
this Tribunal.
2.
The dispute referred is;
“Whether the action of management of the Federal Bank Ltd, Kerala in imposing the punishment of
“dismissal”, in violation of PNJs, on Sri.Prakash Kumar Pillai Typist-cum-Clerk w.e.f. 08.10.2015
is just, proper and is in proportion to the gravity of the misconduct committed by him ? If not, to
what relief the union/workman concerned is entitled to ?”
3.
The workman filed a claim statement. The workman joined the Management Bank as a Bankman. Later he
was promoted to the post of Typist cum Clerk in the Management Bank. The workman was issued with an
order dt.17.11.2014 raising certain allegations. One of the allegation was that, on 22.09.2014 when he was
working as cash teller, the workman failed to bring the cash keys and thereby made a valued customer who
visited the branch for taking gold loan, to wait till 11 AM. The customer filed a complaint against the
workman. Another misconduct alleged against the workman is that on 05.11.2014 when the Branch
Manager was returning to office around 11 AM, the workman was playing FM radio music in the branch in
loud voice. Since the loud music was causing disturbance to the customers and also other officials, the
Branch Manager directed the Assistant Manager and Banking Advisor to switch off the FM radio. The
workman without any provocation shouted at the Branch Manager in a loud voice saying that “ FM radio is
not Manager’s property, it belongs to Bank and you have no right to switch it off”. This happened in the
presence of several customers and other staff members of the branch. One of the customers, Sri.Benoit
Joseph who was present in the branch to open a new FD has given a written complaint saying that the
incident took him back and he left without opening the FD. Even after switch off the radio, the workman
continued his loud utterings inspite of the request from the Branch Manager to lower his voice and to talk in
a polite manner. The Branch Manager was also requested to the workman to discuss and sort out the issues
in the evening. On the same day at 2 PM, during lunch time, when nobody else other than the Branch
Manager and the workman were present in the branch, the workman came to the cabin of the Branch
Manager and again shouted in an arrogant manner at the Manager using words such as “ bloody fool, bastard,
barking like a dog, you are a small boy “ etc. Since the workman refused to discuss the issue with the
Branch Manager, he was issued a letter seeking his explanation. The workman tore off the letter defiantly
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : िून 4, 2022/ज् येष् ठ 14, 1944
1077
and challenged the Branch Manager to report the matter to higher-ups. The workman was charged with acts
of gross misconduct of doing “any act prejudicial to the interest of the Bank and willful insubordination or
disobedience of any lawful and reasonable order of the Management or of a superior” and minor misconduct
of “committing nuisance on the premises of the bank”. The Management ordered an enquiry vide order
dt.17.11.2014. The Enquiry Officer as well the Management representative were legally qualified persons.
The enquiry conducted against the workman was in violation of the principles of natural justice and fairness.
The Enquiry Officer concluded the enquiry in two sittings, held on 19.01.2015 and 20.01.2015. Five
witnesses were examined on the side of the workman to prove the allegations. Four witnesses were officers
and staff of the branch and one witness is an outsider.There were only 4 witnesses in the list of witnesses but
5 witnesses were examined to prove the charges. The documents in the enquiry were marked through
incompetent witnesses. The Management witnesses gave contradictory answers relating to the questions
regarding the incident narrated in order dt.17.11.2014. It is clear that the allegations are cooked up. One of
the complainant, Sri.Likharam pledged spurious gold ornaments in the branch and the spurious ornaments we
later replaced by him. The Manager of the branch got his signature in a letter prepared by the Management.
Sri.Likharam was not examined in the enquiry. The Management installed FM radio in the branch and
usually FM radio was played during office hours. The workman did not misbehave with the Branch Manager.
The workman had not played the FM radio as alleged. The presence of Sri.Benoit Joseph at the time of
alleged incident was a cooked up story. In his evidence, Sri.Benoit Joseph stated that he filed a complaint
later in the evening. The Branch Manager obtained the complaint to utilize the same against the workman. It
is the fact that Sri.Benoit Joseph never made any deposit in the branch or closed his account in the
Management Bank. The misbehaviour alleged against the workman during the lunch hour against the
Manager is totally incorrect. The Manager created a story to fix the workman. The workman started his
career as a sub-staff in the Bank and later got promotion to the clerical cadre. The Enquiry Officer did not
apply his mind to the contradictions in the statement made by the witnesses. The findings of the Enquiry
Officer are not based on the evidence adduced in the enquiry. The findings are perverse and unsustainable.
The Disciplinary Authority accepted the findings of the enquiry without any proper evaluation and proposed
a punishment without notice. The reply given by the workman was not considered by the Disciplinary
Authority and issued order dt.08.10.2015 confirming the punishment of dismissal without notice, on the
workman. The Appellate Authority also dismissed the appeal filed by the workman. The dismissal of the
workman without notice is totally disproportionate to the charges alleged to have been proved against the
workman. The workman is the only breadwinner for his family. As the termination was stigmatic, the
workman could not find any alternative employment.
4.
The Management filed written statement denying the above allegations. A disciplinary action was initiated
against workman when he was working as a clerk at Mira Road branch, Mumbai vide memorandum
dt.17.11.2014. It was alleged that when the workman was in charge of cash teller on 22.09.2014, one
Sri.Likharam, one of the valued customer of the Bank visited the branch at 10 AM for taking gold loan. The
workman did not bring the cash keys on the day, making the customer to wait till 11 AM and the customer
gave a written complaint to the Branch Manager against the workman. Earlier also similar incident happened
due to the careless approach of the workman. Though the workman was warned by the Branch Manager,
there was no improvement and he repeated such lapses. It was also reported that there were other incidents
of failure on the part of the workman in giving proper customer service. He has also shown reluctance in
performing functions other than cash related works. On 05.11.2014 when the Branch Manager of
Dommasandra branch was returning to office after a customer visit at around 11 AM, the workman was
playing FM radio in the branch, in a loud voice. Since it was causing disturbance to the working atmosphere,
the Branch Manager directed Sri.Venkata Koushik, Assistant Manager and Sri.Gurumurthy S., Banking
Advisor to switch off the FM radio. The workman without any provocation shouted at Branch Manager in
loud voice saying that “ FM radio is not Manager’s property, it belongs to Bank and you have no right to
switch it off.” Several customers and other staffs were present in the branch when the workman uttered
those words at the Branch Manager. Sri.Benoit joseph, one of the customer present in the branch at that
time, who had promised to open a new FD at Dommasandra branch, gave a letter to the Branch Manager
stating that the incident took him aback from continuing the account in the Bank. The workman continued
the loud shouting, though the Branch Manager requested him to lower his voice. The Branch Manager also
advised the workman to discuss issues if any, with him at 4 PM. At around 2 PM during the lunch time when
nobody else was present the workman entered the chamber of the Branch Manager and shouted in an
arrogant manner using words such as “bloody fool”, “bastard”, “barking like a dog”, “you are a small boy”
etc. Since the workman refused to discuss the issues, the Branch Manager issued a letter seeking the
explanation of the workman. The workman tore off the letter and challenged the Branch Manager to report
the matter to higher-ups. A memorandum dt.08.10.2014 was issued to the workman to show cause why
disciplinary action should not be initiated. Though he received the memorandum, he did not offer any
explanation. On an earlier occasion vide memorandum dt.05.12.2012 the workman was imposed with a
punishment of ‘Censure’ for shouting at another employee of the Bank working at Krishnarajapuram,
Bangalore branch. Though the Branch Manager advised the workman on several occasions to conduct
1078
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 4, 2022/JYAISTHA 14, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
himself in a proper manner, there was no improvement. Considering the seriousness of the matter, the
workman was charged with the acts of
a.
‘doing any act prejudicial to the interest of the Bank or gross negligence or negligence involving or
likely to involve the Bank in serious loss’ and
b. ‘willful insubordination or disobedience of any lawful and reasonable order of the Management or of
a superior’ and also minor misconduct of ‘committing nuisance on the premises of the Bank’ as per
the provisions of Bipartite Settlement.
An enquiry was also ordered to examine the charges levelled against the workman. The Enquiry Officer
conducted the enquiry as per rules and strictly in accordance with the principles of natural justice. The
workman participated in the enquiry and he was permitted to defended by a defence representative of his
choice. The defence side peruse the documents and cross examined the witnesses of the Management. It is
true that there were only 4 witnesses in the list of witnesses. Subsequently the Management representative
submitted a list of witnesses and documents dt.08.12.2014, incorporating the 5th witness and the copy was
also served upon the workman which is marked as Exbt.EE 4(b). The Enquiry Officer after analysis of
evidence and materials on record, found the acts of gross misconduct of “doing any act prejudicial to the
interest of the Bank and minor misconduct of committing nuisance on the premises of the Bank’ proved.
The finding of the Enquiry Officer was forwarded to the workman and the workman filed his reply vide
letter dt.01.04.2015. After careful perusal of all the records pertaining to the enquiry and his written
submission, the Disciplinary Authority found that the charges levelled against the workman had been
convincingly proved. The allegation that the enquiry is conducted in violation of the principles of natural
justice and fairness and the documents in the enquiry were marked through incompetent witness etc., are
false and therefore denied. The workman participated in the proceedings and never raised any such plea at
the time of the enquiry.The domestic enquiry was ordered and conducted against the workman in consonance
with the provisions of Bipartite Settlement and principles of natural justice. It is not correct to say that the
findings of the Enquiry Officer are perverse and unsustainable. The claim of the workman that the
punishment imposed on him is disproportionate to the charges alleged to be proved is denied being incorrect.
The defense representative cross examined all the witnesses in detail. A copy of the report of the Enquiry
Officer dt.19.03.2015 was forwarded to the workman and he submitted his comments on 01.04.2015. After
perusing all the records, documents, depositions and submissions, the Disciplinary Authority found him
guilty of alleged acts of misconduct. After taking into account all the evidence on record, the Disciplinary
Authority proposed to impose a punishment of dismissal without notice on the workman. Before imposing
the punishment, the workman was given an opportunity of personal hearing on 16.07.2015 before the
Disciplinary Authority. After hearing the workman the Disciplinary Authority confirmed the punishment of
dismissal without notice on the workman vide his order dt.08.10.2015. The workman approached the
Appellate Authority.After careful examination of the grounds, the Appellate Authority rejected the appeal
and confirmed the punishment. The workman thereafter filed a review application. Since there was no
provision in the Bipartite Settlement for review, the same was rejected. Since the charges against the
workman had been proved in the enquiry, there is no merit in the contention that the charges leveled were
part of a cooked up story. The proven charges of shouting and using abusive language against a superior
officer and also his failure to give proper customer service, which had not been seriously disputed, are grave,
affecting the interest of the Bank. Viewed from any angle the punishment cannot be said to be
disproportionate to the charges proved in the enquiry. The workman was earlier found guilty of acts of
misconduct of ‘committing nuisance at the premises of the Bank’ and ‘failing to show proper consideration,
courtesy or attention towards officers, customers or other employees to the Bank, unseemly or unsatisfactory
behaviour
while
on
duty’
for
misbehaving
with
another
member
or
staff
of
branch
Krishnarajapuram/Bangalore while entrusting cash brought for remittance.He was imposed with a
punishment of “Censure” vide memorandum dt.05.12.2011. The Enquiry Officer after analyzing the evidence
meticulously arrived at his findings. The Disciplinary Authority also examined the evidence and the report
of the Enquiry Officer. The Disciplinary Authority after considering the gravity of the misconduct and
analyzing the mitigating circumstances imposed a punishment of ‘dismissal without notice’, which is just,
legal, valid and proportionate to the gravity of charges proved in the enquiry.
5.
The Union filed a rejoinder denying the allegations in the written statement filed by the Management. The
workman never made any loud uttering as alleged by the Management. The workman had not done any act
prejudicial to the interest of the Bank nor done any willful insubordination or disobedience of any lawful or
reasonable order of the Management. The Disciplinary Authority as well as the Appellate Authority failed
to appreciate the evidence in the enquiry and arrive at a judicious decision.
6.
After completion of the pleadings the matter was posted for examining the Enquiry Officer and marking the
enquiry file. The learned Counsels on either side agreed that the enquiry file can be marked by consent and
the same was marked as Exbt.M1. Thereafter the matter was posted for hearing on the preliminary issue
whether the enquiry was conducted in a fair and proper manner following the principles of natural justice.
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : िून 4, 2022/ज् येष् ठ 14, 1944
1079
The Counsel for the workman pointed out that there is no serious violations in the enquiry procedure and
therefore both the Counsels agreed that the matter can be heard on merit on all the issues to be decided in the
industrial dispute.
7.
The following issues are framed to be adjudicated in this dispute.
1. Whether the disciplinary enquiry is conducted in a fair and proper manner following the principles of
natural justice?
2. Whether the finding of the Enquiry Officer and the Disciplinary Authority are based on evidence and
whether the findings are perverse and unsustainable?
3. Whether the punishment awarded on the workman is proportionate to the charges alleged and proved
against the workman ?
8.
Issue no.1
The Management issued a memorandum no.ER/D-5/PF 6901/AW 17/11746/2014 dt.17.11.2014 against the
workman alleging that he has committed acts causing customer dissatisfaction leading to customer
complaint and also that he shouted at the Branch Manager on 05.11.2014 in the presence of customers and
other staff members. The incidents leading to the above charge memo are,
1. When the workman was handling cash teller on 22.09.2014, one of its valued customers, Sri.Likharam
visited the branch at 10 AM for taking gold loan. The workman failed to bring the cash keys and had
to return to bring the keys from his house, making the customer to wait till 11 AM. The dissatisfied
customer filed a complaint with the Branch Manager.
2. On 05.11.2014 when the Branch Manager returned to the branch after a customer visit around 11 AM,
the workman was playing FM radio music in the branch in loud voice. Since the loud music was
disturbing the working of the branch, the Branch Manager directed Sri.Venkata Koushik, Assistant
Manager and Gurumurthy S., Banking Advisor to switch off the FM radio. The workman shouted at
the Branch Manager stating that “FM radio is not Manager’s property, it belongs to Bank and you
have no right to switch it off”. This incident happened infront of other Bank staff and also the
customers of the Bank. One of the customer Sri.Benoit Joseph who wanted to open a FD in the
branch left without opening the account and filed a complaint against the workman with the
Manager. Later during the lunch time, when no other staff members were in the branch, the workman
entered into the chamber of the Branch Manager and shouted abusing language against him.
The Management issued a charge memo alleging gross misconduct of ‘doing any act prejudicing the
interest of the Bank ‘ and ‘wilful insubordination or dis-obedience of any lawful and reasonable order of the
Management or of a superior’ and also the minor misconduct of ‘committing nuisance on the premises of the
Bank’ as per the provisions of the Bipartite Settlement. The Enquiry Officer issued notice to the workman
and also the Management. In the enquiry, the Enquiry Officer asked the workman whether he understood
English and needs any translator. The workman confirmed that he can understand English and therefore
proceeded with the enquiry. The Enquiry Officer also verified from the workman whether he received the
charge memo and also the list of documents and witness forwarded to him. The workman confirmed having
received the same. The Enquiry Officer also confirmed from the workman whether he read and understood
the charges in the memorandum dt.17.11.2014. The workman replied in the affirmative. The request of the
workman to engage the President of Federal Bank Employees Union to defend him was also allowed by the
Enquiry Officer. It is seen that the Management examined 5 witnesses in the enquiry and marked 8
documents. The workman and his defence assistance elaborately cross examined all the Management
witnesses. The workman did not produce any evidence in the enquiry or examine any witnesses. According
to the learned Counsel for the workman, the list of witnesses contained only 4 names but the Management
examined 5 witnesses in the enquiry. According to the learned Counsel for the Management, the list of
additional witness was given to the workman sufficiently in advance and the same is part of the Exbt.M1
enquiry file. It is also seen that the copies of the proceedings of enquiry were given to the workman by the
Enquiry Officer on every day of the proceedings. On a perusal of the Exbt.M1 enquiry file, it is seen that
the Enquiry Officer conducted the enquiry in a fair and proper manner following the principles of natural
justice.
Hence issue no.1 is decided in favour of the Management and against the workman.
9.
Issue no.2
As already pointed out, the Management examined 5 witnesses in the enquiry and marked 8 documents.
The first charge against the workman is that he committed acts causing customer dissatisfaction leading to
customer complaint. The charge memo narrates two incidents against the workman. One is an incident
regarding a complaint filed by one Sri.Likharam, one of the customers of the branch that he was made to wait
1080
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 4, 2022/JYAISTHA 14, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
from 10 to 11 O’ clock for taking a gold loan from the branch on 22.09.2014 as the workman failed to bring
the cash keys of the Bank and he had to return home to bring the keys at 11 AM. The Enquiry Officer had
analyzed the evidence adduced during the enquiry to arrive at a conclusion that the charge against the
workman is proved beyond any reasonable doubt. The Enquiry Officer also found that the workman
admitted the fact that he forgot to bring the cash key on 22.09.2014 and same was brought from home only
at 11 AM. The workman only tried to discredit the witness stating that Sri.Likharam pledged spurious gold
with the Bank which was denied by MW3 in the enquiry.
10.
The second incident involves a complaint filed by Sri.Benoit Joseph, MW2 in the enquiry. He is maintaining
his account with Indiranagar Branch of the Management Bank. He came to the Dommasandra Branch to
open an FD account. He deposed in the enquiry that he saw the workman shouting at the Branch Manager
regarding the loud voice of FM radio. It is proved through a chain of evidence, in the enquiry, that the
Branch Manager of the Dommasandra branch directed the Assistant Manager and Bank Advisor to switch
off the FM radio which was playing in a loud voice. According to the witness, the workman reacted very
strongly stating that “FM radio is not Manager’s property”. It is also seen that the Management succeeded in
proving that the workman entered the chamber of the Branch Manager and abused him using words such as
“bloody fool, bastard, barking like a dog, you are a small boy” etc. It is seen that the attempt of the workman
against this charge was to discredit the independent witness Sri.Benoit Joseph, MW2 stating that he is not a
customer of Dommasandra branch and he is not a valuable customer of the branch. From the deposition of
the witness, it is seen that the workman failed to discredit any of the evidence adduced by the Management
witnesses.
11.
It is seen that the Enquiry Officer relied on valid and legal evidence to arrive at the conclusion that the
charges against the workman are proved.
12.
It is also seen that the Disciplinary Authority relied on the report of the Enquiry Officer and also
independently evaluated the evidence before arriving at the conclusion that the charges against the workman
is proved.
Hence the issue no.2 is also decided in favour of the Management and against the workman.
13.
Issue no.3
As already pointed out, the charges leveled against the workman are that he committed acts causing
customer dissatisfaction leading to customer complaint and shouted at the Branch Manager in the presence
of customers and other staff members. The above acts alleged against the workman are acts of ‘gross
misconduct doing any act prejudicial to the interest of the Bank’ and also minor misconduct of ‘committing
nuisance on the premises of the Bank’.It is already found that the enquiry against the workman was
conducted in a fair and proper manner following the principles of natural justice. It is also found that the
finding of the Enquiry Officer and Disciplinary Authority are based on proper and legal evidence.
14.
Now the only issue that remains to be answered is whether the punishment of ‘dismissal without notice’
awarded to the workman vide order no.ER/D-4/PF 6901/AW 17/255/2015 dt.08.10.2015 is proportionate to
the charges alleged and proved against the workman. According to the learned Counsel for the
Management, though Sec 11-A of ID Act gives wide discretion to the Labour Courts and Tribunal, the
discretion can be used only in cases where there is perversity or arbiterness in the finding by the Disciplinary
Authority. According to him, in the present case since the enquiry is conducted in a fair and proper manner
and the findings are based on legal evidence, this Tribunal may not interfere with the quantum of
punishment imposed on the workman by the Management. The learned Counsel for the Management relied
on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Standard Chartered Bank Vs R. C. Srivastava,
Civil Appeal no.6092/2021. The facts of the above case is that the workman was charge sheeted for having
committed misconducts of alleged drunkenness within the premises of the appellant Bank and for
manhandling and assaulting the enior officers and also for hurling abuses at the Management. The
Disciplinary Authority after analyzing the evidence on record, imposed a penalty of dismissal from service of
the workman. The appropriate Govt referred the matter for adjudication and the Tribunal found that the
enquiry was held following the principles of natural justice. The Tribunal thereafter analyzed the evidence,
set aside the order of dismissal from service and directed the Management to reinstate the respondent
workman in service with full back wages. The Hon'ble High Court dismissed the writ petition filed under
Article 226 of the Constitution. The Hon'ble Supreme Court after analyzing the facts of the case held that
“ Para 19. The decision of the Labour Court should not be based on mere hypothesis. It cannot overturn
the decision of the Management on ipse dixit. Its jurisdiction U/s 11-A of the Act 1947 although is a
wide one but it must be judiciously exercised. Judicial discretion, it is trite, cannot be exercised either
whimsically or capriciously. It may scrutinize or analyse the evidence but what is important is how it
does so ”.
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : िून 4, 2022/ज् येष् ठ 14, 1944
1081
This is a case where the Tribunal found that the enquiry is conducted in a fair and proper manner following
the principles of natural justice. However the Tribunal went on to analyze the evidence to arrive at a
different conclusion than that of the Management and reversed the punishment awarded by the Management.
In the present case this Tribunal found that the enquiry is conducted following the principles of natural justice
and also the finding of the Enquiry Officer and Disciplinary Authority is also based on legal evidence.
Hence there is no question of re-appreciating the evidence adduced before the Enquiry Officer. In this case
the charge against the workman is that he used abusive language against his senior in the presence of the
customers and the staff of the branch. Using abusive language against a co-worker or a superior is a serious
misconduct. However the question is whether such a proved misconduct warrants the extreme penalty of
dismissal from service without notice. The Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Ved Prakash Gupta Vs
Delton Cable India (P) Ltd, 1984 KHC 645 held that awarding extreme punishment of dismissal for
abusing a co-worker or an officer of the Management itself will not amount to victimization or unfair labour
practice. In the above case, one of the charges against the workman was that he abused one of his colleague
and an officer in a filthy language. The Hon'ble Supreme Court held that
“ We are also of the opinion that no responsible employer would ever impose in like circumstances the
punishment of dismissal to the employee and that victimization or unfair labour practice could well be
inferred from the conduct of the Management in awarding the extreme punishment of dismissal for a
flimsy charge of abuse of some worker or officer of the Management by the appellant within the
premises of the factory”
The Hon'ble High Court of Calcutta in National Tobacco Co of India Vs Fourth IT, 1960 (2) LLJ 175
(CAL) held that even after finding that the enquiry was in compliance of rules of justice it is open to the
Tribunal to examine the question whether there was victimization or unfair labour practice. In Hindustan
Machine Tools Ltd Vs Mohammed Usman, 1983 (2) LLJ 386 SC the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India
held that
“ Sec 11 conferred power on the Labour Court to evaluate the severity of misconduct and to assess
whether the punishment imposed by the employer is commensurate with gravity of the misconduct.
The power is specifically conferred on the Labour Court U/s 11-A. If the Labour Court after calculating
the gravity of misconduct held thatpunishment of termination of service is disproportionately heavy in
relation of misconduct and exercise its discretion, this Court, in the absence of any important legal
principles would not undertake to re-examine the question of adequacy or in-adequacy of material for
interference by the Labour Court.”
15.
Having examine the legal position as above, it is appropriate to examine the facts of the present case, the
charges leveled against the workman and also the gravity of penalty imposed by the Disciplinary Authority
and confirmed by the Appellate Authority. As already discussed, one of the charges is regarding customer
dissatisfaction created by the behavior or lapse on the part of the workman. The first incident regarding the
delay in servicing Sri.Likharam, a customer of the Bank, was admitted by the workman that he forgot to
bring the cash keys on 22.09.2014 in the morning and attended to the customer by around 11 AM. According
to the learned Counsel for the workman, this is an isolated incident and cannot be generalized to hold that the
workman caused customer inconvenience as alleged in the charge sheet. With regard to the 2nd issue, the
stand taken by the workman in the enquiry as well as in this proceedings is that there was no such incident
and the witnesses except one are all subordinates to the Branch Manager and therefore they supported the
claim of the Management. He also denied the allegation that he entered the chamber of the Branch Manager
during lunch time and abused the Branch Manager. According to the learned Counsel for the workman, the
independent witness examined in the enquiry is a planted witness as he was not holding any account in the
Dommasandra branch. However as already pointed out, the workman failed to discredit the evidence given
by the witnesses during the course of enquiry and therefore the charges are held to be proved. Having found
that the enquiry is conducted in a fair and proper manner and that the finding of the Enquiry Officer as
well as the Disciplinary Authority is based on legal evidence adduced during the enquiry, the scope of
interference in the punishment is very limited. While imposing the extreme punishment of dismissal
without notice, the Disciplinary Authority failed to consider the fact that the workman was working with
the Management Bank for more than 19 years. He joined the Bank as a bankman and acquired qualification
to be elevated to the post of Clerk. The charges proved against the workman is that of using filthy language
against the Branch Manager and causing customer dissatisfaction in view of one incident.In the
circumstances of this case, it is not possible to hold that the punishment awarded to the workman is
proportional to the charges proved against him. The learned Counsel for the Management pointed out that
this is not the first incident when the workman was charge sheeted on similar charges.On an earlier occasion
the Management was liberal in awarding a punishment of “censure” taking into account the pleadings of the
workman that he will not repeat the same in future. According to the learned Counsel, the workman failed
to stick to the undertaking given by him on the earlier occasion and committed a graver offence which
warrants the maximum punishment of dismissal without notice. The learned Counsel therefore submitted
1082
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : JUNE 4, 2022/JYAISTHA 14, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
that the Management lost confidence in the workman and his assurances regarding proper conduct in future.
However it is felt that the Management ought to have considered the service rendered by the workman with
the Management Bank and also his plea that he is the only earning member of the family taking care of his
wife, two children studying and his aged and sick mother.
16.
Taking into account all the above facts and considering the principle of proportionality between the gravity
of offence and the stringency of the punishment, it is felt that the penalty of dismissal without notice is
shockingly disproportional to the charges proved against the workman.
17.
The learned Counsel for the Management has already expressed the view that the Management Bank lost
confidence in the workman. The Bank being a financial institution also will have look into the element of
customer satisfaction and reputation of the institution while dealing with similar cases. Hence it is felt that
the penalty imposed on the workman can be modified to “compulsory retirement with superannuation
benefits i.e., pension and/or provident fund and gratuity as would be due otherwise under the rules or
regulations prevailing at the relevant time without disqualification from future employment”.
18.
Hence an award is passed modifying the penalty to compulsory retirement of the workman with
superannuation benefits i.e., Pension and/or provident fund and gratuity as would be due otherwise under
the rules or regulations prevailing at the relevant time without disqualification from future employment.
The award will come into force one month after its publication in the official Gazette.
Dictated to the Personal Assistant, transcribed and passed by me on this the of 20th May, 2022.
