The Central Government, Ministry of Labour & Employment vide its Order No. L-42011/153/2016-
IR(DU) dtd. 09.05.2017 referred the following Industrial Dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication
The schedule mentioned in that order is:
“Whether the demand of General Secretary, Ambattur Industrial Estate Engineerin

are entitled to?
2. On receipt of the above reference from the Appropriate Government, the dispute on reference is
registered as ID 46/2017 and due notices were issued to both the parties for their appearance fixing the case to
06.06.2017. Both parties appeared. The Second Party entered appearance. Vakalatnama was filed by the Counsel.
On the next date of posting i.e. on 23.06.2017, the Counsel for the First Party-Petitioner Union filed
Vakalatnama. The First Party was directed to file Claim Statement and Documents. Neither the General Secretary
of the Union nor any of the Petitioners turned up nor filed the Claim Statement resulting several adjournments
(almost 20) till the end of the year 2019. Further 6 adjournments were afforded to the First party Union in the
2020. The Petitioner Union failed to file the Claim statement. However, without resorting to any coercive action
against the First Party Petitioner’s Union, the Tribunal viewed sympathetically and suo-moto afforded
adjournments almost 6 in the year 2021 considering the prevailed though situation of Pandemic COVID-19. The
General Secretary of the First Party Union did not turn up. Not a single petition was filed for adjournment.
However, for the ends of justice, the First Party Union was afforded with some more opportunities by re-listing
the case on 05.01.2022 and 04.02.2022. None on behalf First Party Union appeared nor filed the Claim
Statement.
3. As such, in view of the discussion held in preceding paragraphs, it appears the First Party Union is not
interested to proceed with the case. On the other hand, the case is simply dragged to an extent of almost
approaching 5 years only due to non-cooperation of the First Party Union. Due to non-appearance and
participation in the proceeding by the First Party, this Tribunal is constrained to conclude the proceeding as it
deems there exists no dispute for adjudication in between the parties as per the reference.
In the result the ID case stands dismissed.
An Award is passed accordingly.

The Central Government, Ministry of Labour & Employment vide its Order No. L-42011/07/2015-IR
(DU) dtd. 04.09.2015 referred the following Industrial Dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication.
The schedule mentioned in that order is:
“Whether the demand of BHEL, Valaga Oppandha Thozhilalar Nala Sangam (BHEL
Contract Labour Union), Trichy to absorb and regularize the members of BHEL Complex
Cooperative Labourers is legal and justified? If yes, what relief the workmen are entitled
to?”
2.
On receipt of the above reference from the appropriate Government, the dispute on reference is
registered as ID No. 121/2015 and notices were issued to both the parties for their appearance fixing the case to
30.09.2015
3.
The First Party Petitioners Union under the name and style “ BHEL Valaga Oppandha Thozhilalar
Nala Sangham” (hereinafter be referred as First Party “Sangham”) pleads to have been affiliated to “Dravidar
Labour Union’, a Registered Labour Union with the object to look after the welfare of all members of Second
Respondent of BHEL Complex Cooperative Contract Society. There were 1121 members working under the
First Respondent “Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd” (BHEL). It is contended by the First Party “Sangham” that in
order to reduce expenditure on work force, the First Respondent established Contract Labour System to carry
out the regular and permanent work without any hindrance and set up the “ BHEL Complex Coop Labour
Contract Society” (the Second Respondent) which is not a genuine one but created for the obvious purpose
through a sham and nominal arrangement between both the Respondents. This arrangement was made only to
deprive the workers from their absorption and all eligible entitlements including financial benefits. The
persuasive control is with the First Respondent. On account of their strategic position in the First Respondent,
the Second Respondent Society has exercised only minimal control. As such, almost all administrative functions
and all control over the employees of Second Respondent was under the domain of First Respondent. Besides
major portion of funds are provided by First Respondent to cater to the needs of its staff and work force. The
Wages and Bonus were also determined by the First Respondent.
4.
It is further pleaded that the job carried out by the members of the First Party Sangham are regular in
nature as they performed the identical works alongwith the regular employees of the First Respondent. They
were issued with Identity Card/Punching Card for Attendance, Uniform, Safety Shoe, PF, ESI, Gratuity, Bonus
and Pension as provided to regular skilled workers of First Respondent.
The workers of one of such unit at Haridwar were made permanent whereas the members of the First Party
Sangham even though performing the job of perennial in nature, were never been treated equally nor paid with
equal salary/wage or any other benefits at par with the regular employees. By the passage of time, some of the
employees have already retired without getting any financial benefit. The grievances of the Petitioners- First
Party Sangham could not be ventilated before the Competent Authority as the officials of the Executive Body
were the nominated by the First Respondent. The persuasive control was always with the First Respondent.
5.
The First Party Sangham prays to the Tribunal to impart necessary direction to the First Respondent
to regularize and to absorb the workers listed in Annexure-I (not available) with effect from the date of
joining of the respective employees with consequent relief i.e. continuity of service, differential wages and other
monetary benefits. It is submitted that there was no genuine contract in between the Respondents but a contract
was initiated for obvious purpose to deprive the Petitioners from their entitlement, thus the contract between
the Respondents is a sham and camouflaged to hide the reality.
6.
The First Party Sangham accordingly claim their absorption and regularisation. Reliance is placed on
a plethora of judicial verdicts of the Honb’le Apex Court that is in the case of Food Corporation of India Vs.
General Secretary, FCI India Employees Union and Others and in the case of in Food Corporation of India
Vs. Workmen through the Convener and Another reported in 2018 LAB I.C 4002. Hon’ble Supreme Court
in the case of Gujarat Electricity Board, Thermal Power Station, UKAI Vs. Hind Mazdoor Sabha and Others
in (1995) 5 SCC 27.
The First Party Sangham while claimed their regularization places reliance in the case of General Manager,
BHEL, Ranipet Vs. Canteen Workers Union, Chennai and 102 Others reported in 2015 II LLJ 12 (MAD).
The Learned Counsel also drew attention on the judicial verdict of the High Court of Judicature of Madras in
Writ Appeal No. 875 of 2010 dtd. 10.02.2005 2015 II LLJ 12 MAD. It is submitted by the Learned Counsel
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
311
for the First Party Petitioner Sangham that the Hon’ble Court confirmed the Order of the Labour Court, Vellore.
The Labour Court directed the Management to regularize the Canteen Workers. It is submitted that the case in
hand is almost similar and identical to the above stated case and therefore the Petitioners of First Party Sangham
are entitled to the relief as sought for. The issue of maintainability of reference was challenged by the
Respondent at different Forum and set at rest when the Hon’ble Court in WA 163/2016 directed the Tribunal
to adjudicate the issue of maintainability of reference as “Preliminary Issue”. Thus, pursuant to the
Hon’ble Court’s direction in WA 163/2016 dtd. 28.07.2016, the Tribunal adjudicated the “Preliminary Issue” by
hearing both parties at length. The Learned Counsel for the Petitioner Sangam found to have argued the matter
relying on a catena of judicial verdicts. The Tribunal adjudicated the Issue holding the reference as
maintainable vide Order dtd. 11.01.2017. The citations accordingly needs no more discussion.
7.
Traversing the claim of the First Party Sangham, both the Respondents entered appearance filing their
Counter Statements separately with some pleadings on some common facts. The First Respondent BHEL is a
Central Public Sector Enterprise, having one of its manufacturing unit at Thiruchirappalli started operation in
the year 1964. It is engaged in manufacturing of High Pressure Boilers, Boiler Components, Valves, Seamless
Steel Tubes, etc. It has registered itself as a Principal Employer under the Contract Labour (Regulation and
Abolition) Act, 1970 and started functioning with more than 8700 permanent employees. At present, it engaged
around 98 Contractors who in turn are deploying about 2500 contract labourers daily in average. The Second
Respondent, the “BHEL Complex Coop. Labour Contract Society” is one of such Contractors, registered under
the Tamilnadu Co-Operative Societies Act, 1983 and possesses the valid license under the CLRA Act, 1970.
Ever since the incorporation of the Second Respondent, it has been undertaking work-contracts for different
organizations, in or around Trichy i.e. for HAPP, NIT and First Respondent, BHEL. The Second Respondent
mostly gets work-contract from the Principal Employer-BHEL-First Respondent to perform menial and
unskilled jobs like cleaning and conservancy works of building, cleaning of factory shop floors, loading and
unloading, serving of water, snacks, tea and coffee, upkeep and cleaning of Office Furniture, Horticulture
activities, supply of tapals etc. and contends that none of such works are abolished or prohibited under the
CLRA Act. The First Respondent being the Principal Employer ensures disbursement of fair wages to all its
Contract Labour Force alongwith all benefits provided under various laws in force. All the Contractors,
including the Second Respondent have been paying the wages to the employees at the rate of Rs. 3,200/- to Rs.
4,100/- which is a mandatory condition stipulated by the First Respondent as part of the contractual terms
which is necessarily higher than the minimum wages prescribed by the Government of Tamilnadu. The
Contract Workers are also covered under the Canteen facility.
8.
Both the Respondents in their Counter Statements also categorically pleaded that the services of
employees of the Second Respondent Society are regulated by the Tamilnadu Co-Operative Society itself. The
provisions of CLRA Act are applicable to both the Respondents and both the Respondents scrupulously
followed it. The Second Respondent being a Cooperative Society under the Tamil Nadu Government has got
the separate entity to engage the employees and regulated by the Second Respondent Society itself. The First
Respondent never exercises control or supervision over the employees of Second Respondent who were
deployed to First Respondent as a measure of contractual obligation by the Second Respondent It is also
contended by both the Respondents that the periodical elections were conducted as per the notification of
Government of Tamil Nadu. In adherence to the bye-law, the Second Respondent is governed under the
Tamilnadu Co-op Societies Act.
9.
The adult members who hailed from surrounding 10 villages attaining minimum age of 18 years,
irrespective of any educational qualification were engaged depending on contract of First Respondent, BHEL,
Trichy. The members were directly employed by the Second Respondent Society to perform the contractual
obligation made in between the First and Second Respondent. The funds are released as per the bills raised by
the Second Respondent in consonance to the “Work Contract“. Thus the contractual payments are accordingly
made by First Respondent to the Second Respondent. Accordingly, it is emphatically pleaded that there exists
no Employer-Employee Relationship in between the members First Party Sangham with the First Respondent. It
is further contended that in such case if any claim to regularisation or permanency or full membership or
improvement of service condition, whenever made and if maintainable, can only be claimed against Second
Respondent. The Learned Counsels for both Respondents advanced their respective argument placing reliance
on a plethora of judicial pronouncement (shall be discussed as per applicability), in support of their respective
pleadings that the claim of First Party Sangham as against First Respondent is without any basis and the case is
liable for dismissal.
10.
In view of the pleading of Thus the following issues are settled for a fair and proper adjudication.
(i)
Whether there exists any Employer-Employee relationship between the First
Respondent – “Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd.” (BHEL) and Members of the
Second Respondent, the “BHEL Complex Co-Op Labour Contract Society”?
312 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
(ii)
If the demand of the First Party Sangham for absorption and regularization of
its Members by the First Respondent-BHEL is legal and justified?
(iii)
To what relief the Members of First Party Sangham?
Issue No. (i) and (ii)
Since both the issues are inter-linked and inter-alia, taken up together for a common discussion.
11.
Both parties adduced oral evidence through their respective witnesses and advanced
arguments relying on several documents. Sh V. Shanmugam the General Secretary of the First Party Sangham
and one of the Petitioners viz. K. Rayar adduced evidence as WW1 and WW2 respectively in support of the
pleadings. 41 numbers of documents are produced and marked as Ext.W1 to Ext.W41.
Both the Respondents filed documents separately. The First Respondent produced 22 documents marked as
Ext.M1 to Ext.M22 (for R1). The Second Respondent relied on 17 documents marked as Ext.M1 to Ext.M17
(for R2). The Additional General Manager, Shri K. Murali of First Respondent-BHEL led evidence as MW1.
The Second Respondent chose not to adduce any evidence on its side.
12.
Since the issues are to be adjudicated on the fact and law, the documents on record as well as the
evidence of the witnesses are meticulously scrutinized. As per the argument advanced by the Learned Counsels
for both parties it is to be seen, if the Second Respondent, M/s BHEL Complex Cooperative Labour Contract
Society Ltd. is a separate entity other than the First Respondent. Admittedly, the fact remains undisputed that
the Second Respondent obtained valid CLRA license from the Competent Authority who in terms of Section-13
of CLRA Act, 1970 (Page 251-252 of typeset of R2) has issued the same after due investigation of the
particulars furnished by the Second Respondent. It reveals that due license was granted on 30.04.2015 in favour
of the Second Respondent by the Licensing Officer, the Assistant Labour Commissioner. Accordingly, the work
contract from First Respondent was renewed for subsequent years in favour of the Second Respondent. The
further plank of contention of the Counsel for the Respondent is that as per the Byelaw (Ext.M12 of R2
stretches from Page No. 7 to 36 typeset) of Second Respondent, the membership of the Second Respondent
Society, was open to adult labourers who hail from 10 villages irrespective of their education. The documents of
R-2 under Ext.M8 discloses that WW1, none else the General Secretary of First Party Sangham has filled up the
Form for enrolling him as a “B” Class Member in the Second Respondent-BHEL Complex Cooperative Labour
Contract Society. It is further contended that the Second Respondent delivers the services by deploying its
members and employees as contract workmen in the First Respondent Company which comes within the
purview of the CLRA Act. The work orders are awarded to the Second Respondent Society by First Respondent
Company (Page 253-257 of typeset of R2). The Work Contract were for various Unskilled jobs, like
Housekeeping, Cleaning of Tables, Serving Tea, Loading-Unloading, etc. This fact reveals at Page 48-87 of the
typeset of the Second Respondent. At the outset, the relevant portion of evidence of WW1 is taken into
account. It is stated by WW1 that he has been discharging duties under BHEL since 01.04.1986 as a Skilled
Worker (Identity Card Ext.W14 stretches from Page 14 to Page 29 containing Identity-Cards of other
employees of typeset of the Petitioner). He further states that at present he has been working in the Storage
Material Movement Section, directly under the control of Deputy Engineer of First Respondent and working in
the particular section continuously for more than ten years to move materials through Fork-lift along with the
regular employees.
13.
Argument is well advanced by the Counsel for Respondent that the WW 1 was fully aware of the
terms and conditions contemplated in the Application Form itself and was conscious about the nature of job as
temporary and no right accrues in his favour to claim any relief .from First Respondent
Sri K. Rayar. WW2 corroborates stating that he worked under BHEL since 01.04.1986 (Identity Card at Page
17 of Ext.W14) He is continuously working almost for 14 years in the Safety Department in the Office of the
First Respondent. Initially, he got license for Light Motor Vehicle in the year 05.08.1987 and thereafter in the
year 1998 was issued with Heavy Duty Motor Vehicle license. Thereafter, he was shifted to Central Movement
Cell of Maintenance and Service Department for discharging duty as Driver. Ext.W13 is the Order dtd.
20.02.2002 of Manager CMC / M&S regarding utilization of service as Driver in absence of the Driver allotted
with duties on Roster basis in the same Department. Due to superannuation of other regular Drivers, at present
he is discharging the duty of a Driver. In this context, the Learned Counsel for the Respondent pressed his
argument that even if WW2 is claiming to have rendered his service as a Driver, the document under Ext.W13
discloses his such service was utilized in absence of the Driver engaged on Roster Basis. It is emphatically
argued by the Learned Counsel of Respondents that this stop-gap arrangement cannot be taken as an advantage
by the WW2 to claim a right of permanent job. Admittedly no order of appointment to him as driver is
furnished. Ext 13 is mere order of Department under the name ”Maintenance and Services Central Movement
Cell” regarding the stop gap arrangement. As such it can never be treated as an order of appointment. Besides
the mere fact of statement of both WW1 and WW2 that they alongwith other members have been provided
with the Identify Card, Punching Card for Attendance, Uniform, Safety Shoes, etc. as applicable to the regular
employees, would not suffice to hold that they were directly employed under the First Respondent. Attention
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
313
drawn on a bunch of documents under Ext.W14 (which stretches from Page 14 to Page 29) consisting 15 nos. of
Identity Cards of different employees including WW1 and WW2. Those documents / identity cards are
meticulously perused. It reveals even though the name of the First Respondent ,” The Bharat Heavy Electricals
Ltd.” appears on such Identity cards as “BHEL Identity Card”, those were issued by the Second Respondent
with its registered name as ”BHEL COMPLEX COOP. LABOUR CONTRACT SOCIETY LTD” which
appears on all those Identity Cards. On the other hand, all those Identity Cards were duly signed by the Member
of the Second Respondent and countersigned by the Chief Security Officer. It is well presumed that those are
issued by Second Respondent and not by First Respondent. In this context, the argument is well advanced that
at no stretch of circumstance, basing on such Technical Points, the First Party Member-Petitioners cannot claim
to have been employed by the First Respondent. The further plank of argument of the Learned Counsel for First
Respondent is that the evidence adduced by WW1 with regard to their engagement in various sections like, Gas
plants., stainless steel tube plants, (SSTP) pipe cutting , Hot mill, Cole Mill, Shipping, loading and unloading
factory Oxygen Plant (F.O.P),Canteen-cook, supply and service and cleaning floor, guest House, cannot be
categorized as Skilled job. The Second Respondent is solely responsible for issuance of such Identity Cards
under Ext.W14. It is under its domain of Second Respondent to reflect the nature of job as Skilled, Unskilled
and Semiskilled which is no way concerned to First Respondent. Undoubtedly, the Second Respondent is one of
the Contractors to outsource the manpower for First Respondent, thus, the name of the First Respondent must
occur on many relevant documents.
14. In this context, the argument advanced by the Learned Counsels in consonance to the evidence of
MW1, K. Murali is taken into consideration. The documents under Ext.W14 from Page 14 to 29 viz. are the
Identity Cards issued by the Second Respondent as against 15 members as Skilled Worker including WW1 and
WW2 viz. S/Sri (i) V. Shanmugham, WW1 (Worked at Material Stores), (ii) D. Seetharaman, Cook, (iii) S.
Johnson, Packing and Despatch, (iv) K. Rayar, WW2 (CMC, BHEL), (v) S. Senthil, Crane Operator, (vi) K.
Xavier Kennedy, Cook (vii) A. Arumugam, Gas Plant, (viii) John Peter, Attender, (ix) V. Ravi, Housekeeping,
(x) C.V. Anant Raj, Medical Attender, (xi) K. Kamaraj, Quality Control/SSTP, (xii) T. Stephen, Electrician. It
appears all these employees have been shown as Skilled Worker except one viz. D. Karikalan, Attender, shown
as Semi-Skilled Worker. None of such Identity Cards expresses the educational / academic qualification of the
members except two lady employees viz. S.R. Shanmugavadivoo and B. Geetha. (Vide Identity Card at Page
28-29 of Ext.W14) shown as Laboratory Technician / Skilled Worker. At the cost of repetition it is pertinent to
mention that there was no whisper of educational qualification of any of the members who were issued with
Identity Cards except Identity Cards of two Lady Members shown as Lab Technicians. But in those cases also,
the qualification was not reflected. Besides, in absence of any concrete proof, the First Party Sangam cannot
claim to treat the Member Petitioners as Skilled worker. It is pertinent to mention that the First Party fails to
file any supporting documents to prove that there are highly qualified employees as having Degree, Diploma,
ITI, Welder, Fitter, Blacksmith, Nurse and Ayas, rendering the skilled job. Both the Witnesses claimed that the
nature of their jobs are though perennial but were not treated at par with a regular employee. Undoubtedly it
reveals from the materials on record that the Second Respondent is responsible for issuance of such Identity
Cards in favour of its members. The First Respondent has got no role in this regard. The First Party
Member/Petitioners are debarred by the Byelaw (Ext.M12 of R2) to claim any entitlement simply because they
were shown as Skilled Worker by the Second Respondent.
15. So far the fact of the Second Respondent’s specific status is concerned , it would not be out of place
to mention that the Second Respondent is one of the 98 contractors and being issued with valid CLRA License,
undertook the contractual obligation to supply manpower to First Respondent. It is well evident that the Second
Respondent being an Independent Entity, has got separate Memorandum of Association and Byelaws (Ext.M12
of R2) and functions in a Licenced Building in BHEL township at Kailasapuram. It was governed by a Board of
Directors, elected from among the members, and was answerable to its General Body. In the year 2001,
pursuant to the amendment in Tamilnadu Cooperative Societies Act, the existing elected body of the Society,
was discharged from further functioning and instead the Special Officer for the purpose of managing the affairs
of Second Respondent Society was appointed by the Registrar of Co-operative Society, Government of
Tamilnadu from time to time by issuing specific Government Order for elections (from Page.15-23 of the
Additional typeset of R2). Ext.M8 of R2 is the recent order of appointment of Special Officer. Thus the Society
is functioning under the control and supervision of the Registrar of Co-operative Society, Tamil Nadu and not
under the control of First Respondent. It reveals from the documents on record that Government of Tamilnadu
directed all such Co-operative Society including the Second Respondent to conduct elections. But the
elections for filling of the Board could not be held since 2013, due to non-cooperation from the Trade Unions
including the First Party Petitioner’s Union (the Sangham). Attention drawn to the relevant communications
and orders at Page 24 to 39 and Page 240-241 of the typeset of the Second Respondent. It further reveals
thereafter the Government of Tamilnadu appointed one of the official of First Respondent to function as
Administrator for the Second Respondent. Such appointment of Administrator by the Government is an interim
arrangement awaiting the successful election of all eleven Board of Directors of Second Respondent. Thus, the
plea of First Party Sangham that the President and Executive members were selected by the First Respondent is
314 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
strongly denied by both the Respondents. Such fact in issue remains undisputed, since not being challenged by
the Petitioner’s Sangham. No rebuttal evidence was also adduced by the Sangham.
16. In view of the discussions held in preceding paragraphs, it is pertinent to mention that the Respondent
amply established the fact that the Second Respondent Society is having a “Separate Entity”, discharging the
contractual obligation pursuant to the contract held in between it and the First Respondent. The materials borne
out from the discussion held in preceding paragraphs, it is found that the Second Respondent deployed
outsourced unskilled manpower for doing several menial jobs under the contractual obligation. It functions in a
Licensed Building and has a separate entity other than the First Respondent. The First Respondent Company
has never exercised any control or supervision over the service of the Members of the Second Respondent
(revealed from Ext.M9 and Ext.M10). MW1 states that the First Respondent being the Principal Employer
ensures the payment of all statutory benefits to the employees engaged / outsourced by Second Respondent. The
wage rate was fixed by the First Respondent which is a mandatory condition stipulated as a part of contractual
term. Thus, the First Respondent ensures the payment of the Minimum Wages and in addition to that, the BHEL
Additional-Wages are being paid to the employees by its Contractor. As such, the First Respondent ensures the
fair wage which is not just Minimum Wages but extends the benefits to all employees including the employees
/ workforce employed by Second Respondent under various clause in force. It is further stated by MW1 that the
Second Respondent Contractor was provided with Work-Contract by the First Respondent Company which is
predominantly for Menial and Unskilled jobs. The services of employees of Second Respondent are regulated
by the Second Respondent Cooperative Society itself.
17. In view of the discussions held in preceding paragraphs, the Petitioner miserably failed to establish the
existence of Employee-Employer relationship in between the Members of the First Party Union with the First
Respondent. Simply because the members of the Union are deployed / outsourced by the Second Respondent
for the First Respondent cannot hold good to say they are directly employed by the First Respondent. The
documents on record categorically discloses that the First Respondent, being the Principal Employer imparted
necessary directions/instructions to each of its Contractor for disbursement of fair wage, higher to the Minimum
Wages Act. This proven fact necessarily goes to show that the Second Respondent employed these members by
providing appropriate financial benefits. In such circumstance the First Party Union cannot derive any right out
of it to claim regularization and absorption in the First Respondent.
18. The First Respondent relies on the judicial verdict of the Apex Court in the case of Bharat Heavy
Electricals Ltd. Vs. Res Mohendra Prasad Jakhmola and Others dtd 20.02.2019 wherein their Lordships
adjudicated a number of Civil Appeals as in 1799-1800 of 2019 SLP (C) 33749-33750 xx xx xx xx xx xx xx
xx xx xx xx xx Civil Appeal Nos. 1823-1824 of 2019 and SLP (C) 33798-33799 of 2014. While adjudicating
the above Civil Appeals including the case cited supra, their Lordships endorsed the guideline / observation
imparted by the Hon’ble Apex Court in the case of Balabanta Rai Saluja and Another Vs. Air India Limited
and Others (Manu/SC/0732/2014:2014(9)SCC 407). It was held that the relation of Employer –Employee
would include inter-alia (i) who appoints the worker (ii) who pays the salary / remuneration (iii) who
has the authority to dismiss (iv) who can take disciplinary action (v) whether there is continuity of
service (vi) extent of control and supervision i.e. whether there exists complete control and supervision
19.
At the cost of repetition, it needs mention that the admitted undisputed fact remains that the
First Respondent engaged 98 Contractors and the Second Party Respondent is one of those Contractors who
provides manpower to the First Respondent. It is further well evident that the pays / remunerations have been
paid to such workforce by the Second Respondent on being provided with the necessary fund allocation from
the First Respondent towards its contractual obligation. So far the other clauses are concerned, it is also well
evident that these employees were never been appointed by the First Respondent nor any appointment letter was
issued to them at any point of time. These employees / the Petitioners, First Party Members of the Sangham
were engaged by the Second Respondent. Thus, the Second Respondent has got the authority to dismiss or to
take any disciplinary action, if occasion so arises. In this context, the Counter Statement filed by Second
Respondent is taken into account. The Second Respondent clearly mentioned that in case of any claim raised
by its employee for regularisation or permanency or full membership or improvement of service condition, if
maintainable, can only be claimed against Second Respondent and not against the First Respondent. So far the
claim of first Party Petitioner Sangham for regularization and absorption are concerned, the following fact
needs mention that the decision rendered in ONGC Vs Krishna Gopal and Others, and the PCLU case
dtd. 17.04.2015 is no longer valid, since by a subsequent order date 07.04.2020 wherein the Hon’ble Apex
Court took up a batch of Civil Appeal including the case of ONGC Vs Krishna Gopal and Others, and the
PCLU case dtd. 17.04.2015 and held the previous order of the Apex Court suffer from a lot of infirmities
and required to be revisited. Thus, the batch of Civil Appeals were referred to the Larger Bench for decision
on the point of limitation, if there is any power lies with the Labour and Industrial Courts to order
regularization / absorption in absence of sanctioned posts.
20. Now it is to be seen whether the Principal Employer controls and supervises the work of the employees. So
far the disbursement of the salary / wages is concerned, it is much discussed in preceding paragraphs that the
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
315
salaries/wages/remuneration were paid by the Second Respondent out of the funds allocated by the First
Respondent towards the contractual obligation. In order to establish the point regarding the control and
supervision on the First Party Member-Petitioners is concerned, the Tribunal places reliance on the Hon’ble
Apex Court’s judicial verdict in the case of International Airport Authority of India Vs. International Air
Cargo Workers Union (SCC Page 388 Para 38-39). In the above judicial pronouncement in the relevant
paragraphs:-
Para-38, the Hon’ble Apex Court held “if the contract is for supply of labour, necessarily the
labour supplied by the Contractor will work under the directions, supervision and control of the
Principal Employer but that would not make the worker a direct employee of the Principal Employer,
if the salary is paid by the Contractor, if the right to regulate the employment is with the Contractor
and the ultimate supervision and control lies with the Contractor”.
Para-39, it is observed:-
“The Principal Employer only controls and directs the work to be done by a Contract Labour
when such labour is assigned / allotted / sent to him. But it is Contractor as Employer, who
chooses whether the worker is to be assigned / allotted to the Principal Employer or used
otherwise. In short, worker being the employee of the Contractor, the ultimate supervision and control
lies with the Contractor as he decides where the employee will work and how long he will work and
subject to what condition. Only when the Contractor assigns / sends the worker to work under the
Principal Employer, the worker works under the supervision and control of the Principal Employer
but that is secondary control. The primary control is with the Contractor”.
21.
In view of the observation made by the Apex Court as cited above and the materials borne out from the
documents on record, undoubtedly speaks out the fact that the primary control is with the Contractor i.e. the
Second Respondent. It is pertinent to mention that the Second Respondent supplied the
workforce to the First Respondent to render Un-skilled jobs under the contractual obligation. Thus, the right to
regulate and ultimate supervision lies with the Second Respondent. Accordingly, even if the workforce as of
the Member-First Party Petitioners rendered their services under the direction / control of the First Party
Respondent - the Principal Employer is treated to be secondary control. The primary control is with the
Contractor who provides the workforce. As such, the primary and ultimate control and supervision lies with the
Second Respondent.
22. The Learned Counsel for First Party Sangham when argued that the Petitioners are victim of unfair labour
practice, per contra argument was advanced by the Counsels for both the Respondents. In this regard, the
relevant provisions of law as contemplated in the Industrial Disputes Act, is highlighted.
The expression ”Unfair Labour Practice” has been defined in Section-2(ra) which reads that any of the
following practices specified in the Vth Schedule under Clause10 comes within the purview of Unfair Labour
Practice.
The Vth Schedule in Clause 10 reads:
“To employ workmen as ”Badlis”, Casuals or Temporaries and to continue them as
such for years, with the object of depriving them of the status and privileges of permanent
workmen”.
Such practice is to be termed as Unfair Labour Practice.
23. In this context it is worth mention that the Second Respondent provided job facilities to Adult
Members attaining 18 years of age, irrespective of educational qualification in and around 10 villages in the
vicinity of First Respondent establishment at Trichy under a Contractual Obligation. The very action of the
Second Respondent in providing job facilities to the Adults of the nearby/surrounding villages was on “As is
where is basis”, Besides, the Second Respondent deployed its Members / workforce to work with the First
Respondent only under a Contractual Obligation. Those Adult Members were never been engaged as Badlis,
Casuals and Temporaries and allowed to continue as such just to deprive them of the statutory benefits but the
job facilities was provided with good intent to employ the youth of surrounding villages, as a welfare measure.
Such action of the Second Respondent cannot be construed to be an Unfair Labour Practice as does not attract
Schedule-V of Clause10, Section-2(ra) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
24.
In view of the discussions held in preceding paragraphs and the materials born out from the
documents on record, it is held that the First Party Sangham seriously failed to establish the Employer-
Employment relationship between the First Respondent and Members of First Party Sangham. Further in view of
judicial verdict in the case of Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. Vs. Mohendra Prasad Jakhmola (supra) the case of
the First Party Sangham is not tenable in the eye of law.

AWARD
Passed On:-21.10.2022
1.
The workman Pitambar Lal has directly filed statement of claim under Section 2-A of the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947(hereinafter called the Act), with a prayer that opposite party may be directed to reinstate the
workman from the date of illegal termination.
2.
The brief facts relevant for deciding this claim petition is that the workman was working as casual
labour cum Peon with the management at its office at Mandi, since Nov. 1994 on the office of Assistant
Engineer(Elect) Telecom, Mandi H.P. The workman has been paid his monthly salary on the ACG-17 Form. On
19.02.1999, the management issued a circular/notification vide letter no.Staff/S 1034/43 with regard to the
regularization/grant of TSM status to casual labours working with the various office of the management and
copy of which is annexed as Annexure W-1. The services of the co-workers who joined the management later
that the workman namely Sh. Tej Ram, Hans Raj, Jai Singh and many who were also drawing his salary on
ACG-17, were granted temporary status in the year 1999-2000. Sh. Dillu Ram, Mohan Lal, Rakesh Kumar,
Shiv Dass, Prem Lal, Halku Ram, Chauramani, Inder Singh were also granted temporary status, while working
in project wing of the management in pursuance to the letter dated 19.02.1999. Similarly the services of Prem
Lal, Hari Singh and many others were regularized after the grant of temporary status in the year 2002-2003
while they were working in the projects of the management. On 26.02.1999, 07.04.1999 and 23.09.1999
(Annexure W-2 to W-4) the management granted temporary status to workmen mentioned in the letters. On
10.05.2010(Annexure W-5) the workman served a legal notice upon the management for grant of TSM status
and other benefits but to no avail. On 17.05.2010 the management had internal correspondence clearly
mentioning the employment of the workman from November 1994 and again on 01.10.2001 till date. On
01.07.2010 the management did reply to the legal notice of the workman, admitting that the workman was
engaged on 01.11.1994 and copy of the reply to the legal notice dated 01.07.2010 is attached herewith as
Annexure W-6. On 31.12.2011 the services of the workman were terminated without assigning any reason
without giving any notice and without giving any retrenchment compensation. On 18.02.2015 the Ld. Assistant
Labour Commissioner issued certificate, enabling the workman to approach this Hon’ble Court under the
provision of Section 2-A(2) of the Industrial Disputes(Amendment) Act, 2010(Annexure W-14). It is therefore,
prayed that the workman be reinstated in service from the date of illegal termination and granted the temporary
status as granted to similarly situated workers along with all consequential benefits and back wages from the
date of the illegal termination till the date along with an interest @ 18% per annum from the date it became due
till the date of final payment.
3.
Management filed written statement, alleging therein that the workman was engaged by the BSNL on
01.11.1994 and has worked upto 01.09.1995 and that too as and when required. He was not engaged against any
sanctioned post and as per Rules. After 01.09.1995 the workman has worked through private agencies as per
government procedure prescribed for hiring of labourer/personnel. There is no master and servant relation
between the workman and management. The claim statement filed by the workman is liable to be dismissed.
The workman has challenged the termination order dated 31.12.2011. The claim filed by the workman is barred
by law of limitation therefore the same is liable to be dismissed. Once the workman has not worked with the
management therefore the question of satisfactory work does not arise. The workman has not specified any
period from which office he has drawn wages on ACG-17. The workman was engaged by the BSNL on
01.11.1994 and he has worked upto 01.09.1995. After 01.09.1995 the workman has worked through private
agencies, following all the relevant rules for supplying skilled and unskilled labourers. The workman did not
completed 240 days with the management and he has worked with the management w.e.f. 01.11.1994 upto
01.09.1995 as and when required. There is no master and servant relation between the workman and the
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
327
management. The workman has worked with the agencies and he has not arrayed the agencies as party in the
claim statement. It is therefore, respectfully prayed that the present claim statement is liable to be dismissed
with costs.
4.
The workman has not filed any replication against the written statement filed by the management.
5.
Parties have been given opportunity to lead evidence. The workman/claimant has examined himself as
WW1 and filed his affidavit in evidence as W1 and relied on the documents Exb.W2 to W15 and has been
cross-examined by the learned counsel of management.
6.
The management has examined Sh. Raghbir Singh, Executive Engineer, BSNL Electrical Division,
Mandi(H.P.), who has filed his affidavit in evidence as Ex.MW1/A along with documents Ex.MW1/1 to
MW1/17 and has been cross-examined by the learned counsel of workman.
7.
I have heard the learned counsel of the workman Sh. Arun Batra and learned counsel of the
management Sh. D.R. Sharma and have gone through the records carefully.
8.
Learned AR appearing on behalf of workman Sh. Arun Batra has contended that the workman was
engaged by the respondent-BSNL Company in Electrical Wing as casual labour at Mandi on full time basis and
was performing his duties with care and sincerity. Learned AR further argued that the workman has been paid
his monthly salary on ACG-17 Form. On 19.02.1999 the management issued a circular/notification with regard
to the regularization and to grant the status as casual labourers working with various offices of the management.
Other co-workers who have been appointed with the workman-Pitamber Lal has been granted temporary status
in the year 1999-2000 but the workman-Pitamber Lal was not granted temporary status. On 13.12.2011 without
any cogent reason the services of the workman was terminated without giving any notice though the workman
has completed 240 days in a calendar year in many years. On the other side, the management has argued that the
workman was engaged by the management of BSNL on 01.11.1994 and has worked upto 01.09.1995 as casual
labourer. Thus, it is a admitted fact that the initial engagement of the workman-Pitamber Lal with the
management was as a casual labour. It is also submitted on behalf of the management that the workman was not
engaged by the management against any sanctioned post and as per Rules. After 01.09.1995, the workman was
working with the management through private agencies as per Government procedure prescribed for hiring of
labourers and personal staff. Thus, it is submitted on behalf of the management that as a casual labour from
01.11.1994 upto 01.09.1995 the workman was in the direct employment of the management as a casual labour.
Thereafter, his services were being taken by the management through private agencies meaning thereby after
01.09.1995. Though, the workman was giving his services to the management-BSNL but was under the direct
control of private agencies. No replication has been filed by the workman against this version of the
management.
9.
It is argued on behalf of the management that the claim statement filed by the workman is liable to be
dismissed as the termination order was passed on 31.12.2011 and claim petition has been filed by the workman
which is barred by Law of limitation. It is admitted fact that the workman-Pitamber Lal was terminated on
31.12.2011 and this claim petition has been filed by the workman on 26.03.2015. This claim petition has been
filed as Industrial Dispute under Section 2(a) 2 of Amended ID Act, 1947. The Act amended in the year 2010
by Act No.24 of 2010 which was came into force w.e.f. 15.09.2010. It is admitted fact that this claim petition
has been filed under Section 2(a) sub-Clause 2 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as amended in the year
2010. Section 3 of sub-Section 2(a) is reproduced as below:-
“(3) The application referred to in sub-section (2) shall be made to the Labour Court or Tribunal before
the expiry of three years from the date of discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or otherwise termination of
service as specified in sub-section (1).”
10. Thus, the management has vehemently argued that this case is time barred. It would be pertinent to
mention here that no replication by the workman has been filed against this. If we calculate the time period, it is
apparent that this case has been filed beyond the period of limitation as the workman was termination on
31.12.2011 upto 31.12.2014, the period of three years finished, meaning thereby there was an opportunity
before the workman to file his claim petition upto 31.12.2014. Since this claim has been filed on 26.03.2015 it
is apparent that this case has been filed on the completion of limitation period. Thus, it is very clear that the
claim filed by the workman is barred by Law of limitation of three years. Since the case is time barred and this
Tribunal has no power to condone the delay beyond of three years, the case is liable to be dismissed. Therefore,
the claim petition filed by the workman is liable to be dismissed and declined as it is barred by limitation. File
after completion be consigned in the record room.
11. Let copy of this award be sent to Central
Government for publication as required under Section 17 of the ID Act, 1947.

1. The reference dates back to 20.07.2012. At the very outset, it is worth mentioning that initially the
workman filed a case no. 456/1995 before Central Administrative Tribunal, Ahmedabad which was dismissed
for lacking jurisdiction. Thereafter a reference no. 67/2000 was received in the then Central Industrial Tribunal,
Ahmedabad, which passed an ‘award’ on merit vide order dated 30.07.2002 and ordered the reinstatement of
the workman Shri Sunil G. Bhatt on his original place as daily wager without back wages and the termination
order dated 28.08.1992 was set aside on the ground of being unjust and illegal. The employer, instead of
reinstatement, reemployed him and did not treat his continuity of service and as such, no consequential benefits
were given to the workman, hence this reference.
2. The workman has filed his statement of claim at Ex. 4 with the averment that he was employed as
casual labour on 01.06.1988 and worked till 20.08.1992. He was permitted leave of absence from 21.08.1992
(mistakenly typed as 21.09.1992) to 24.08.1992 and further got it extended from 25.08.1992 to 27.08.1992 due
to his father’s fatal accident. The employer illegally terminated him w.e.f. 28.08.1992. He has averred that
despite award dated 30.07.2002 passed by the Industrial Tribunal, Ahmedabad, for his ‘reinstatement’, he was
reemployed on 18.07.2003 contrary to the award and denied him continuity of service and consequential
benefits. The workman has further pleaded that the employer did not consider him for the grant of temporary
status at par with his junior casual labours under the existing departmental scheme, which was circulated by
letter dated 07.11.1989. The workman has specified that two of his juniors / casual labours Mr. J. N. Patel and
Mr. B. B. Thakore who joined after him on 01.08.1988, were given benefit of temporary status / regularization
under the existing departmental scheme. The request of the workman for granting temporary status /
regularization was turned down by the employer on the behest that the Tribunal has not passed specific order in
respect of his continuity of service. Prayed for treating the period from 22.08.1992 to 17.07.2003 as continuous
service and for consequential benefits and for the grant of status of regular mazdoor / temporary regular
mazdoor at par with co-workers / juniors under the said scheme.
3. The first party no. 1 and 2 / employers have jointly filed their written statement at Ex. 9 denying the
averment of the workman’s claim and pleaded that the workman was not in the employment of the first party
from 21.08.1992 as he was not entitled to any leave for the duration from 22.08.1992 to 27.08.1992. It is further
pleaded that the Tribunal, in its award passed in Reference (ITC) No. 67/2000, has not given any direction
regarding continuity of service / break period, hence his service was not treated as continuing one. It is further
stated that due to break in service, the workman was not entitled for any benefit of existing departmental
scheme for the grant of temporary status / regularization, hence, prayed to dismiss the workman’s claim.
4. The workman filed his additional pleadings Ex. 10 in line with his original claim refuting attempted
clarifications given in the written statement by the first party / employer.
5. The workman filed documentary evidence detailed as under:

8. The first party / employer has got Mr. Rajesh M. Wani, Divisional Engineer,Telecom, Microwave
Project, M/W Building, Navrangpura, BSNL, Ahmedabad, examined in oral evidence at Ex. 20.
9. Perused the records and heard Shri N.K. Trivedi, advocate for the first party / employer in addition to
his written argument at Ex. 24 and the workman Shri Sunil G. Bhatt, in person, at his written request at Ex. 26
in addition to his written arguments at Ex. 17, Ex. 18 and argument dated 08.03.2018 (without exhibit/number).
10. The main point for consideration under reference is as under:
“Whether the workman is entitled for the grant of temporary status / regularisation by treating his service
in continuity from 07.11.1989 to 17.12.1993 at par with his juniors? If yes, the effect thereof?”
11. The workman, in his written submissions, has mentioned that the first party / employer has
intentionally not complied the award of the Tribunal dated 30.07.2002 passed in Reference (ITC) No. 67/2000
by not treating continuity in service. Consequential benefits like grant of temporary status / regularization at par
with his juniors and co-workers, has not been granted to him. He has requested to direct the employer to treat
his continuity of service and grant all consequential benefits.

12. Ld. Counsel for the first party / employer has argued that there is no order of Tribunal in respect of the
continuity of service; hence the workman is not entitled for any claimed benefits. The employer has cited
Secretary, State of Karnataka and ors V Umadevi and ors, 2006 SCC (L&S) 753 and Bharat Sanchar Nigam
Ltd., Jammu V Teja Singh, Civil Appeal No. 292/2009 (arising out of SLP(C) No. 7803/2006) [order dated
16.01.2009]. Teja Singh (supra) has reiterated the law laid down by Umadevi (supra).
13. It is pertinent to mention here that an award dated 30.07.2002 was passed by the Central Industrial
Tribunal, Ahmedabad in Reference (ITC) No. 67/2000 between the parties on merit. Admittedly, none of the
parties has challenged the award at any higher forum; hence, this award has become final.
14. According to the award dated 30.07.2002, it was held that the workman had worked as a daily wager
for 240 days during 12 months before his retrenchment. The Tribunal, in its operating part of the award, has
clearly directed that the second party Shri Sunil G. Bhatt be reinstated without any back wages on his original
place as a daily wager and the termination order dated 28.08.1992 was set aside on the ground of being unjust
and illegal.
15. The workman in his deposition at Ex. 11 has supported the averment of his claim and specifically
pleaded that his juniors / casual labours Mr. J. N. Patel and Mr. B. B. Thakore, employed on 01.08.1988, have
been granted temporary status of regular mazdoor from 25.06.1993 according to the departmental scheme of
1989 circulated by the letter dated 07.11.1989 from the Department of Telecom, New Delhi and both these co-
workers were regularised from 01.04.1999 and 09.12.1999 respectively, whereas the present workman Sunil G.
Bhatt has neither been granted temporary status of regular mazdoor nor regularised under the scheme. The first
party / employer has not been able to get anything adverse from the cross-examination of this witness.
16. The employer’s witness Mr. Rajesh M. Wani, examined at Ex. 20, has not denied the grant of
temporary status / regularization of aforesaid two casual labours, who were junior to present workman. Hence it
is abundantly clear that co-workers / junior casual labours have been given benefit of the departmental scheme
for granting temporary status to casual labours. However the witness stated that after the judgement dated
10.04.2006 passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court in Umadevi (supra), the scheme for grant of temporary status and
regularisation framed by the Department of Telecom and others, is not legally tenable now.
17. In this view of above, the judgement passed by the Division Bench of Hon’ble Gujarat High Court in
Virendrabhai Chaudhari and 35 ors. V Union of India and ors., SCA 13222/2014 (DB) is relevant. This case
was filed before the Hon’ble Gujarat High Court on behalf of 36 workmen. Division Bench of Hon’ble Gujarat
High Court vide its order dated 23.02.2015, referred its earlier judgement dated 12.01.2015 passed in Ashok
Virambhai Kargatia V Union of India, in Special Civil Application No. 9721/2014. The relevant Para 15 reads
as under:
“......Even in the constitutional bench judgement in the case of Secretary, State of Karnataka V Umadevi
(supra), the Supreme Court has kept a window open for consideration of regularisation of those workmen who
had rendered more than 10 years of service. While doing so, it was, of course, provided that such benefit would
not flow in favour of litigious employees. The basis of this was that one who enjoyed interim protection of
Courts successively by challenging termination from service, cannot then argue that having rendered continuous
service for years together, he should be considered for regularization. The facts of the present case were starkly
different. The petitioner had to battle before different Courts for having his termination declared illegal. Once
such declaration was made, he was entitled to full benefits flowing from the final directions of reinstatement
with continuity. Such judgement of the Industrial Tribunal had become final. The department could not have
taken shelter of the exclusion clause contained in the judgement of Secretary, State of Karnataka and others vs.
Umadevi and others (supra) nor could have the Tribunal non-suited the petitioner on this ground. To reiterate,
the petitioner had succeeded before the Court of competent jurisdiction in establishing that his termination by
the department was illegal with further direction for reinstatement with continuity. That being so, he was
entitled to all consequential benefits. It is not the case of the respondents that he was not covered by the scheme
of temporary status and regularization in service. They have also not denied that other employees engaged after
him have got such benefit of temporary status and regularization long back. Unfortunately, since the case of the
petitioner for reinstatement got tangled in one legal dispute after another, the final direction for reinstatement
got delayed. He, therefore, did not get the same benefits which his co-workers and juniors received......”
18. According to the letter no. E-42/casual labour/2014-15/40 dated 20.11.2015, issued by AGM (Adm.),
BSNL, Bhavnagar, it is traced that the first party / employer filed SLP (C) No. 18828/2015 before Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India against the order dated 23.02.2015 passed by the Division Bench of Hon’ble Gujarat
High Court in above referred SCA No. 13222/2014, Hon’ble Supreme Court vide its order dated 26.10.2015,
has dismissed the said SLP. Hence the effect of Umadevi (supra) has already been examined by Hon’ble
Supreme Court itself, sustaining the order of Division Bench of Hon’ble Gujarat High Court in above Special
Civil Application No. 13222/2014.
348 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
19. As far as the absence of phrase ‘continuity in service’ in award dated 30.07.2002 is concerned, the
intention of the first party / employer can be gathered from the letter dated 15.07.2003 as annexure-3, issued by
A.G.M. (Adm.), O/o CGM, WTP, Mumbai, which speaks to offer reemployment to Shri Sunil G. Bhatt instead
of his reinstatement. The workman, under compulsion, resumed duty w.e.f. 18.07.2003 according to the
resumption report dated 18.07.2003 (annexure-5). The first party / employer has not treated continuity of
service in respect of the workman. The effect of setting aside the dismissal order and placing the workman on
original place clearly indicates that on reinstatement in service after setting aside the order of termination,
notional continuity of service could not have been denied for consequential benefits to workman.
20. For the better understanding of the term, ‘reinstatement’, The case of Panchabhai Motibhai Rebadiya V
State of Gujarat, 2022 (174) FLR 413 (Guj.), is relevant. In this case of ‘reinstatement’ without back wages,
there was no mention of ‘continuity of service’. Hon’ble Gujarat High Court held that if it is not expressly
denied, it has to be read into the award. Respondents should have given the benefit of continuity of service to
the employee from the initial date of appointment. Hon’ble Gujarat High Court referred Nandkishore Shravan
Ahirrao V Kosan Industries (P) Ltd., 2020 (165) FLR 587 (SC), wherein the preposition of law was reiterated.
In that case, the Labour Court had not specifically denied the continuity of service. The Hon’ble Supreme Court
observed that the appellant would be entitled to continuity of service. Hon’ble Gujarat High Court has also
defined the term ‘reinstatement’ in Vasantika R. Dalia V Baroda Municipal Corporation, 1998 (78) FLR 453
(Guj.), as to means reinstatement with the continuity of service unless specifically denied. Denial of relief of
back wage does not mean denial of continuity of service. In Executive Engineer, Panchayat (R & B) Division V
Punabhai Govindbhai, 1994 (1) CLR 64 (Guj.) (DB), Division Bench of Hon’ble Gujarat High Court has held
that ‘reinstatement’ of daily wager would mean maintaining his position in the seniority list with continuity of
service as per his ranking in the seniority list. Hence, it is abundantly explicit that under the award dated
30.07.2002, ones the workman was reinstated and the order of termination was set aside, the positive and
constructive effect of the order in respect of ‘continuity in service’ was clear. The employer should have pro-
actively complied the award for the advancement of justice.
21. The action of the management of the first party / employer in not granting ‘temporary status’ by
considering the service for the period from 07.11.1989 to 17.12.1993 to Shri Sunil G. Bhatt, casual labour, at
par with his juniors and not regularizing his service on granting reemployment instead of reinstatement contrary
to the order of Industrial Tribunal is not at all justified. The point for consideration under reference is decided in
favour of the workman, hence he is entitled to the claimed relief.
22. According to various written submissions of the workman, it appears that he has superannuated on
30.09.2017 and suffered justice for about 21 years despite the award dated 30.07.2002 passed in his favour.
Under the circumstances, the first party employers are directed to grant the benefit of temporary status and
regularization of the second party workman Shri Sunil G. Bhatt notionally in terms of the scheme of the
department from the respective date when his immediate juniors received such benefits treating his continuity in
service notionally with all consequential benefits including retiral benefits if any, within two months from the
date of publication of the award.
23. The reference is answered accordingly.
Let two copies of the Award be sent to the appropriate Government for the needful and for publication.

AWARD
Passed On:- 23.12.2022
Central Government vide Notification No.L-14012/02/2013-IR(DU) dated 24.05.2013, under clause
(d) of sub-section (1) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter called the Act), has referred

1.
The Ministry of Labour & Employment, Government of India while referring the above

provided to the workman and, therefore, on receipt of the above reference notice was sent to the workman for
appearances for adjudication. The postal article sent to the workman, referred above, is deemed to have been
served on the parties under dispute as the post sent has not been received back as undelivered.

AWARD
The Government of India in Ministry of Labour & Employment has referred the present dispute
existing between employer i.e. the management of Steel Stock Yard-1, and its workman/claimant herein, under
clause (d) of sub section (1)and sub section (2A) of section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act 1947 vide letter
No. L- 29012/45/2013 (IR(M) dated 03/04/2014 to this tribunal for adjudication to the following effect.
“Whether applicant Shri Tulsi Dutt is the workman of the Management of the
Manager, M/S Steel Authority of India Ltd, Faridabad? If yes, whether the action of
the management in terminating the service of Sh. Tulsi Dutt w. e. f. 1.08.2007 is legal
and justified? What relief the workman is entitled to”
As narrated in the claim petition, the claimant workman was working as the canteen boy in the
establishment of the management since December 1986 on a monthly salary was Rs 2500/-. His place of work
was Steel Stock Yard-I , Sec 5 Mathura Road, Faridabad, Haryana. On 1.08.2007, his service was terminated by
a verbal order and he was not allowed to perform his duty which amounts to termination of service. At the time
of termination no notice of termination, notice pay or termination compensation was paid to him. The
management even did not pay his duty pay and overtime wage for the month of July 2007. The provisions of
sec 25F, 25G and 25H, were not complied, which amounts to unfair labour practice. During the period of his
employment, his service record was unblemished and no disciplinary action was ever taken against him. He was
working under the supervision and control of the management and getting his monthly salary from the said
management. Thus the claimant has prayed for the relief of reinstatement with full back wages and continuity of
service.
In the written statement filed, the Respondent has challenged the merit of the claim on various grounds
including the maintainability of the proceeding. It has been stated that no employer employee relationship exists
between the Respondent and the claimant as at no point of time the later was employed by them. Neither he was
issued any letter of appointment nor paid salary/wage by the Respondent Management for the alleged period of
employment. Thus the allegation of illegal termination of service or subjecting him to unfair labour practice is
unfounded. SAIL is a public sector undertaking having it’s own Rules and procedure for appointment. No post
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944

like canteen boy ever exists in the establishment of the Management. The claimant was never appointed as the
canteen boy in the stock yard or the branch sales office Faridabad. For SAIL, once a person is appointed, he is
issued with the appointment letter followed by allotment of employee code No. the person is required to sign
the attendance Register maintained in the office where he works. He is being paid salary by SAIL and salary
slip is issued him at the end of the month. The claimant has failed to produce any of the documents nor any
other evidence to prove his relationship with the management as it’s employee. The grievance of illegal
termination raised twice by the claimant before the special secretary, labour Dept, Govt. of Haryana was
rejected twice for want of evidence. On that ground alone the claim is not maintainable. Moreover, the dispute
raised is not an Industrial Dispute and the claimant has no cause of action to raise the dispute. Hence the
management prayed for rejection of the claim.
The claimant filed rejoinder denying all the stand taken by the Respondent in the written statement.
On these rival pleadings the following issues were framed for adjudication.
ISSUES
1- Whether Sri Tulsi Dutt is the workman of the management M/s Steel Authority of India Ltd,
Faridabad? if so, it’s effect.
2- If yes, whether the action of the management in terminating the service of Sh Tulsi Dutt w.e.f.
01.08.2007 is legal and justified? If so, it’s effect.
3- To what relief the workman is entitled to and from which date.
The claimant examined himself as WW1 and produced a series of documents, which are photocopies
of the letter written by the claimant to the in-charge of SAIL Faridabad requesting payment towards the food
supplied on different dates. Those three letters have been exhibited as WW1/1 to WW1/3 and A-1 TO A-21.
Besides those, the claimant has filed photo copies of several vouchers of different dates evidencing payment of
canteen subsidies of the yard employees of SAIL, through one Rajpal Singh. The documents also include
payment vouchers showing payment to the claimant for serving tea and coffee to the guests in the stock yard of
SAIL at Faridabad. The Respondent examined one A. K. Srivastav, the AGM of SAIL as MW1, who produced
the letters of the Special Secretary, Dept of Labour, Govt. of Haryana addressed to the claimant intimating that
the documents filed by the claimant do not prove his status as an employee of SAIL Faridabad. The reply filed
by the Respondent before the labour commissioner during the conciliation has also been filed along with the
evidence. Those documents were marked as MW 1/1 to MW 1/3.
The learned AR for the management during argument emphasized that the burden lies on the claimant
to prove employer employee relationship, when the Respondent has specifically denied the same. The
documents produced by the claimant no way proves the said relationship. When the claimant was not employed
by the Respondent, the allegation of illegal termination is a misconception of fact and liable to be dismissed
with cost, since the claimant was sufficiently informed by the special secretary, Govt. of Haryana that his claim
to be an employee of SAIL is un founded. Relying on the judgment of the Hon’ble SC in the case of
Workmen of Nilgiri coop Mkt Society vs. State of Tamilnadu and others, and in the case of Shambhu and
others vs. Sugan Drycleaners and others, decided by the Hon’le High Court of Delhi, he also argued that in
absence of convincing evidence the Tribunal cannot accept the claim qua employer employee relationship.
In his counter argument the learned AR for the claimant submitted that in the case of Chief Regional
Manger, Oriental Insurance Co Ltd vs. PO, CGIT Chandigarah and Others the Hon’ble High Court of
Punjab and Haryana , on similar facts, came to hold that when the Respondent terminated the service of the
workman without complying with the provisions of ID Act and failed to produce the original documents, the
same amounts to unfair labour practice and the workman is entitled to the relief sought for.
It is pertinent to mention here that the claimant in this case had filed an application seeking a direction
to the management to produce the original documents. But the Respondent denied possession of the documents
on the ground that the claimant was never employed by them. Hence by order dated 18/10/2016, the claimant
was given the liberty of adducing secondary evidence.
FINDING
ISSUE No. 1
This being the most important issue having decisive effect on the other issues has been taken up for
consideration first. The claimant in the claim statement and in the affidavit filed as evidence has stated that he
was appointed as a canteen boy in the yard of the Management at Faridabad in the month of December 1986 on
354 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
a monthly salary of Rs 2500/- and had worked continuously till 01.08.2007, when his service was terminated
illegally by a verbal order. During the employment he was working under the supervision and control of the
Respondent to the utmost satisfaction of the employer. The Management in the WS disputed the stand of the
claimant as an employee of the Management. In the WS as well as the witness of the Management has stated the
SAIL being a public sector undertaking has it’s own rules and procedure for Recruitment. Once a person is
recruited and appointed, he is granted an employee no. he also gets his salary paid by SAIL and at the end of the
month salary slip is granted to him. He is required to sign the Attendance Register maintained by the
management. But the claimant since failed to produce any evidence of that nature, the employer employee
relationship is not proved.
The claimant during cross examination has admitted in clear terms that no letter of appointment was
given to him and his service was terminated by a verbal order. He also admitted that SAIL, in order to fill up the
vacancies, usually makes advertisement in local newspaper and also invites candidature through the
employment exchange. He has also admitted that his claim as an employee of SAIL was rejected by the special
secretary, Labour of Govt. of Haryana. On the basis of this evidence, the management has stated that the
employer employee relationship is not proved. But on behalf of the workman it was argued that the litigation is
being fought between two un equals. The management is in possession of all the relevant documents. But
intentionally suppressed the documents, so that the claim of the workman will be defeated.
Admittedly the claimant was not issued the letter of appointment, employee ID or salary slip, which is
ordinarily issued to an employee. In such a situation the workman is required to adduce other evidence
suggesting employer employee relationship. The Hon’ble SC in the case of Ram Singh vs. Union Territory,
Chandigarh (2004)1SCC126, held that:-
“in determining the relationship of employer and employee, no doubt control is one of the important
tests, but is not to be taken as the sole test. In order to determine the said relationship, all other relevant facts
and circumstances are to be considered including the terms and conditions of the contract.”
In the case of Balwant Rai Saluja vs. Air India Ltd, AIR 2015 SC 375, The Hon’ble SC again held
that:-
“the relevant factors to be taken into consideration to establish employer employee relationship would
include inter alia (i)who appoints the worker, (ii)who pays the salary/remuneration, (iii)who has the authority
to dismiss (iv)who can take disciplinary action, (v)whether there is continuity of service (vi)extent of control
and supervision.e if there is complete control and supervision.”
With regard to the facts of this case, no appointment letter was issued to the claimant. Hence the
claimant had to lead other evidence to prove the employer employee relationship. He has not examined any
witness to prove his relationship with the management. No documentary evidence has been placed on record to
show that the claimant workman was getting his salary/ remuneration from the Management. The documents
filed by him are nothing but some written representation to the head of the Management of SAIL at Faridabad,
requesting release of fund for the food supplied by him to the labours, Truck Drivers and other employees. The
other documents filed show that the employee’s food subsidies were released in favour of the claimant for the
food supplied and the same was not paid directly but through another person. The vouchers filed by the
claimant only show the payment of the food value, value of Gas Cylinder ect to him. But these documents no
way prove that the claimant was getting salary as claimed by him from the Management. These documents only
prove that the claimant was getting the reimbursement of the food cost, supplied to the employees of the
management and the management was releasing the food subsidies payable to the employees to the claimant
supplying food to those employees. The oral and documentary evidence adduced by the claimant no way proves
that the claimant was working under the supervision and control of the Management. The documents only prove
that the claimant was the supplier of food from the canteen to the employees. There is absolutely no evidence to
believe that the claimant was discharging his work under the supervision and control of the Management. Hence
from the totality of the evidence adduced by the witnesses examined by both the parties, the only conclusion is
that the claimant has not succeeded in proving his relationship with the Management as it’s employee. This
issue is accordingly answered against the claimant workman.
ISSUE No. 2&3
While discussing the evidence with regard to issue No 1 it has already been held that the relationship
of the Respondent and the claimant as employer and employee has not been proved. Since the Management is
not the employer of the claimant, it cannot be held that the service of the claimant was illegally terminated by
the Management. Hence Issue no. 2 is answered against the claimant. For the finding arrived in respect of Issue
No 1 & 2, it is held that the claimant workman is not entitled to the relief sought for. Hence, ordered.
ORDER
The reference be and the same is answered against the claimant. He is held not entitled to the relief
sought for. Send a copy of this award to the appropriate government for notification as required under section
17 of the ID act 1947.
The reference is accordingly answered.

‘No Claim Award’. Accordingly, ‘No Claim Award’ is passed in the instant reference ID No.102/2018.

The Government of India in Ministry of Labour & Employment has referred the present dispute
existing between employer i.e. the management of Non Statutory Canteen, Dept. of Personal, and its
workman/claimant herein, under clause (d) of sub section (1)and sub section (2A) of section 10 of the
Industrial Dispute Act 1947 vide letter No. L- 42011/66/2014 (IR(DU) dated 17/07/2014 to this tribunal for
adjudication to the following effect.
“Whether refusal to grant ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 to Shri Virender Singh, the
workman by the management of Non statutory Canteen, Ministry of Defence under Joint
Secretary Training and CAO in the tune of Memo No. 03/04/2005-Dir. ( C) dated 25.07.2012 is
just fair and legal? If not what relief the workman concerned are entitled to?”
1. As per the claim statement the claimant workman was appointed as a bearer on 13.06.2008 in the Non
Statutory Canteen under the management of the Joint Secretary Training and CAO New Delhi. As per a
decision taken by the Government of India all posts in the Non Statutory Canteen and Tiffin Rooms run
departmentally were treated as posts in connection with the affairs of the union and incumbent of such posts
were declared as holders of Civil Posts under the Central Government. A notification to that effect was issued
by the government on 11.12.1979. The said order was given effect from 01.10.1979. In the said order it was laid
down that the condition of service of the incumbents of these posts will be framed under the proviso to article
309 of the constitution of India and shall be applicable retrospectively from 01.10.1979. Thereafter in exercise
of the power as directed in the memorandum the Government framed the Rule to regulate the method of
recruitment and condition of service of persons appointed to such civil posts. According to that rule specific
provision were made in respect of the period of probation for the persons appointed between the period
commencing from 1st day of October 1979 and ending with the date of publication of the Rule in the official
gazette. According to this rule a member of the service who complete the period of probation shall be deemed to
have been appointed on regular basis w.e.f the date he completes the probation. If any person has not completed
6 months on the date of publication of the rule his period of probation will be extended upto the date he
completes 6 months service and the period of probation can be extended for another period of 6 months in case
the period of probation is not found satisfactory. The claimant workman had successfully completed the period
of probation as per the Recruitment Rule i.e GSR 54 and accordingly he was treated as a permanent employee
and granted the pay scale of Rs. 160-275. The general secretary of the union as the representative of the
claimant and persons in the same footing had filed a writ petition bearing No. WPC 6189-7044 of 1983 and
8426-8455 of 1983 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court asking for a similar benefit as granted to the Non
Statutory Canteen employees. It was prayed that the benefit be granted w.e.f 22.10.1980. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court passed an interim order in this regard. Pursuant thereto the DOPT issued an office memorandum dated
03.11.1983 deciding that in compliance to the interim direction of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the pay of the
employees in Non Statutory Canteen may be fixed in the revised scale w.e.f 26.09.1983 as indicated in column
–III of the annexure to the said office memorandum. The manner in which the pay scale is to be revised was
also indicated in the said office memorandum. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the above said writ petition
passed the final order on 11.10.1991 wherein it was directed that the benefits granted in the interim order dated
26.09.1983 shall deemed to be operative from that date. Any further benefit is admissible, those will be
admissible from 01.10.1991. Pursuant thereto the Government of India Ministry of Personal and public
grievance issued another office memorandum dated 29th January 1992, declaring all employees of Non
Statutory Canteen, departmental Cooperative Canteen registered with the Director of the canteen a central
government employee w.e.f 01.10.1991. The pay commission, in the year 1996, also recommended that from
01.10.1991 all the benefits available to the other central government employee or comparable status should be
extended to the employees of Non Statutory Canteen. It was also recommended by the pay commission that the
posts of cook and assistant Halwai be upgraded to the pay scale of Rs. 950 to 1500/- as these are skilled posts
and demand for the corresponding pay scale is justified.
2. The Ministry of Finance, department of expenditure, constituted a committee named Staff Inspection
Unit to resolve the issue and the committee recommended the pay scale for all the posts in the Non Statutory
Canteen in its report submitted in May 2003. This report was reviewed by the Ministry of Finance and final
orders were issued on 22.12.2004 in which designation of the posts were restructured. But the recommendation
of the staff inspection unit with regard to the pay scale of Bearer Assistant Halwai cum cook was not considered
nor any association was communicated about the adverse effects of the benefits which stands contrary to the
observation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of MMR Khan vs. Union of India. Though the post of
Assistant Halwai and cook as well as Halwai is skilled work and their duties and responsibility is the same as
that of the clerk in the non statutory canteen the same was not considered at all. While the matter stood thus, the
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]

clerks appointed in different non statutory canteens had challenged the pay scale of 3200-4900 granted to them
before the Principle Bench CAT Delhi through their Association. The Hon’ble CAT, in OA No. 714 of 2005
passed an order directing that the canteen clerks have to be granted the benefit of ACP in the pay scale of Rs.
4000-6000 and this aspect be considered by the government. Pursuant to the said order of the Hon’ble CAT the
government of India (DOPT) issued an order dated 19th April 2006 in which the pay scale of Rs 4000-6000 is
allowed to the clerks working in the non statutory canteen during grant of ACP. The similar scale was granted
to the cooks and Head cooks of the non statutory canteens run by the department of space, DRDO, etc. thus, the
association of the claimant served a demand notice for grant of the pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 to the claimant
and the persons of same rank w.e.f 09/08/1999. But the same was not considered by the management nor it was
forwarded to DOPT for consideration. It has also been stated that the similar dispute was raised before the
industrial Tribunal in ID NO.7/2009 in which the claimant Rajender Sharma was bearer in the non statutory
canteen under DRDO. The Industrial Tribunal by the Award allowed the pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 in grant of
ACP to the bearers of that canteen. The claimant through its union raised a dispute before the conciliation
officer. During conciliation the management raised dispute that the claimant since has been treated as civilian
Central Government Employees, cannot invoke the provisions of ID Act. But the Hon’ble Supreme Court in
WPC No. 248 of 1985 have clearly held that Id Act is applicable to all the canteen employees. The conciliation
since failed the appropriate government referred the matter to this tribunal for adjudication. The claimant has
pleaded that the action of the management in not granting him ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 is illegal and a
direction be issued in this regard.
3. The management filed written statement challenging the maintainability of the present proceeding
before this tribunal. In addition to that it has been pleaded that the canteen workers are now holders of Civil
Post and as per Rule 7 of the Central Civil Service Classification control and Appeal Rules they are included in
the General Central Service of the corresponding Group. As per the decision taken by the Central Government
all posts in the non statutory canteen and Tiffin Rooms run departmentally by the Government of India were
treated as posts in connection with the affairs of the union and incumbent of such posts declared as holder of
Civil posts. Accordingly a set of Rules called the Departmental Canteen Employees Recruitment and Condition
of Service Rules 1980 was notified. Some section of the canteen employees filed a writ petition before the
Hon’ble Supreme Court (C K Jha and others vs. Union of India ) praying to treat them equally and at par with
the general central government employees. The Hon’ble Supreme Court passed an interim order dated
26.09.1983 directing the Central Government to pay all employees of the non statutory canteen at the same rate
and same basis on which statutory canteen employees being paid. In the said writ application final order was
passed on 11.10.1991in which the Hon’ble Supreme Court came to hold that the Principle decided in the case of
M MR Khan and others vs. UOI squarely applies. While allowing the writ petition the court observed that
certain reliefs granted by the interim order dated 26.09.1983 shall deemed to be operative from that date of
order. In case any further benefits are admissible, those will be effective from 01.10.1991. For the purpose of
calculation of pension, service from the date of interlocutory order shall be counted. Based on the said order of
the Hon’ble Supreme Court the DOPT in consultation with the Ministry of Law and Ministry of Finance issued
O M No. 12-5-1991 as per which the employees of the canteens are to be extended all benefits as are available
to other Central Government Employees of comparable status except GPF Pension and Group insurance in
respect of which separate instruction would be issued. Accordingly separate instructions were issued. The
service of departmental canteen employees are governed by separate rules framed under constitutional
provision. It is a decentralized Cadre as each Ministry frames its own Recruitment Rules.
4. The claimant Virender Singh was appointed as bearer w.e.f 09.02.1976 in the pre revised scale of
2610-3540 as recommended by 5th CPC in the departmental canteen. As per his service record, his educational
qualification has been noted as Class-III pass which means he had not passed the required educational
qualification. The claimant had made a demand for grant of ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 as has been granted
to one Virender Singh by Ministry of Defence in the tune of DOPT Memo No. 03-04-2005. But Virender Singh
the claimant, stands in a different footing as he was appointed as a bearer on 09.02.1976 in the pay scale of
2610-3540 in the pre revise scale. He was promoted as Assistant Halwai cum Cook carrying the same scale on
09.01.2007 and second financial upgradation in the scale of 3200-400 w.e.f 26.09.2007 was allowed to him on
completion of 24year of service w.e.f 26.09.1983 under the 6th CPC. For the purpose of determining the
eligibility for consideration of financial upgradation of the canteen employee under ACP Scheme, the service
rendered by a canteen employee is reckonable from 26.09.1983 or on the actual appointment in regular pay
scale whichever is later. He has been granted 3rd financial upgradation under MACP Scheme Pay Band-I, GP
2400 w.e.f 26.09.2013. Hence, he is not entitled to the financial upgradation of ACP as claimed by him. It has
also been stated that on the basis of the recommendation of 5th CPC, ACP Scheme was introduced for Central
Government Employees vide OM No. 35034/1/1997 dated 09.08.1999. As per this scheme the employee would
be eligible for 2 financial upgradation on completion of 12 years and 24 years of regular service respectively
and the said financial upgradation under ACP was available only if no regular promotion during the prescribed
period of 12 and 24 years have been availed. In this case for the promotions allowed the claimant was not
entitled to ACP. But he was granted 3rd financial upgradation under MACP w.e.f 26.09.2013. Though, the ACP
386 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
scheme which became operational from 09.08.1999 was applicable to the non statutory canteen employees the
claimant is not entitled to the same. For the purpose of determining the eligibility for consideration of the
financial upgradation under the ACP Scheme the service rendered by the canteen employees is reckonable from
26.09.1983 i.e from the date of interim order passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court or actual appointment in
regular service whichever is later. The claimant is thus, not entitled to the ACP as claimed by him. The
government on considering the recommendation of 5th CPC decided to grant revised scale of pay to the common
category of non statutory canteen employees in different offices. As per the said revision a bearer was to get the
revised pay scale of 2610-60-3150-65-3540. It is correct that as per the recommendations of 5th CPC. The ACP
notified on 09.08.1999 was extended to the employees of non-statutory canteens located in Central Government
Offices. As per the scheme employees would be illegible for minimum of two financial of upgraduation in the
entire service career on completion of 12 and 24 years of regular services. As per this scheme conditions no. 6,
in annexure 1 to OM No. 35034/1/97 dated 09.08.1999 all promotion norms have to be fulfilled for up gradation
under the scheme. Following the Supreme Court order the hierarchy and scale of canteens employees was
modified taking into consideration the implementation of SIU(Staff Inspection Unit) and DOPT issued OM no.
03/10/2001 dated 22.12.2004.
5. The ACP scheme for employees of non-statutory canteens was further revised vide DOPT letter no.
314/2005 dated 14.01.2008. To obviate certain anomalies, the scale to be given on grants of first ACP was
annexed to the said letter. Owing to implementation of the said ACP order dated 14.01.2008, again certain
anomalies cropped in while the pay was fixed. Thus, the same was again brought to the notice of DOPT.
Thereafter the ACP scheme was partially reviewed and modified in respect of the ACP to be granted to the
bearers/and the coffer/Tea makers in the pay scale of Rs. 2610/3540 indicating that the persons who are
matriculate and eligible for the promotion post for clerk in the pay scale 3050-4590 and second promotion to the
post of Assistant Manager-cum-store keeper shall be granted ACP in the pay scale of 4000-6000 as per the
recruitment rules. The non-matriculate bearers were illegible for first promotion to the post of Assistant halwai
cum- cook in the scale of 3050-4590 and second promotion to the post of halwai-cum-cook in the pay scale of
3200-4900. Accordingly, OM no. 3/4/2005 dated 25.07.2012 was issued. Since the claimants’ education as per
his service record was recorded as class-III pass, he was considered in the non-matriculate category. It was also
noticed that the claimant had already been granted two financial upgradation on his 12th year and before 24
years of service. Thus the first and second ACP were justifiably granted. He was granted third upgradataion
under MACP. Hence, his claim is not maintainable.
6.
The claimant filed replication denying the stand of the management.
On these rival pleadings the following issues were framed.
ISSUES
1.
Whether refusal to grant ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 to the workman by the management of
non-statutory canteen is just fared and legal? If so its effect.
2.
2. If not, what relief the claimant is entitled to and from which dated.
The claimant examined himself as WW1 and filed a series of documents which are all Governments
notification and orders related to grant of ACP issued from time to time. Similarly, on behalf of the
management one Kulbhusan Malhotra, Under Secretary DOPT testified as MW1. He also exhibited a series of
documents marked as MW1/1 to MW1/36.
7. At the outset of the arguments the Ld. A/R for the management challenged the jurisdiction of this
tribunal to the adjudicated upon the issue.
It was argued that the claimant having been declared as holder of Civil posts under the Central
Government with effect from fist day of October 1979, as per the Governments notification dated 11th Dec 1979
and the recruitment rules has been separately framed, every person appointed or deemed to have been appointed
under the said rule, is a central government employees and as such the provisions of ID Act, are not applicable
in as much as the office of the respondent is not an industry under the Industrial Dispute Act. Moreover, as per
rules 7 of Central Civil Services classification control and appeal rules are deemed to be included in the General
Central Services of corresponding group. As such the dispute relating to them are either to be dealt by the
Central Administrative Tribunal or under the writ jurisdiction of the Hon’ble High court. He thereby prayed for
dismissal of the claim petition for want of jurisdiction. It was also pointed out that the issue came of before the
Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil appeal no. 6462 and 6464 of 2003 against the order passed by the Hon’ble
High Court of Bombay, in the case of Umesh Korga bhandari vs. Mahanagar Telephone Nigam. The Hon’ble
Supreme Court after a detail consideration referred the matter to a higher bench which is still pending. Hence,
the order passed by the hon’ble Division Bench of Bombay in the case of Mahanagar Telecom Nigam referred
supra holding that the dispute of canteen employees is not maintainable under section 1091) of the Id Act is not
maintainable, holds good in the file. The reply arguments of the Ld. A/R for the claimant is that the proceedings
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
387
is maintainable and similar orders have earlier been passed by this Tribunal. This aspect shall be dealt while
dealing with the issue relating to ACP.
FINDINGS
8. The admitted facts are that the workman was appointed as a bearer on 09.02.1976 and retired from
service in the year 2015. Pursuant to the order passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court the DOPT issued an order
dated 03.11.1983 granting all the benefits granted to the employees of statutory canteens. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court passed the final order on 11.10.1991 and pursuant thereto a decision was taken by the Government of
India and all posts in the non-statutory canteens and Tiffin room run departmentally by the Government of India
were treated as posts in connection the affairs of the Union and the incumbents of such posts were treated as
holders of the civil posts with effect from 1.10.179 pursuant to the notification rules were framed under the
proviso to article 309 of the Constitution of India governing the service condition of the canteen employees. The
canteen employees since filed writ petition before the Hon’be Supreme Court in the case titled C.K. Jha and
others vs. Union of India, an order was passed directing the central government to pay all employees of non
statutory canteens at the same rate and at the same basis on which employees of statuary canteen are paid. The
claimant as per the claim statement was appointed as a bearer on 20.10.1972. The Government declared all the
employees of non statutory canteens as holders of civil posts under the Central Government. By notification
dated 23.12.1980, GSR 54 as per which the claimant and others were declared as holder of civil posts under the
central government with effect from first day of October 1979. Under the service rule, framed every person
recruited to the services after 1st October 1979 has to complete a six month period of probation. A member of
the service who complete his period of probation satisfactorily shall be deemed to have been appointed on
regular basis with effect from the date he completes his period of probation The claimant since completed the
period of probation as per the recruitment rules he was granted the pay scale of Rs. 160-275. The general
secretary, as the representative of the workman had filed writ petition before the Supreme Court for grant of
similar benefits as extended to the employees of statutory canteens. The Supreme Court passed an interim order
and on the basis of the said order the interim relief was granted by the Government by the order of DOPT dated.
03.11.1983. It is also admitted that the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the said writ petition passed the final order
dated 11.10.1991 and pursuant thereto the interim relief granted was deemed to be extended from 03.11.1983
and any additional benefit to be granted shall be admissible with effect from 01.10.1991. The pay commission
in the year 1996 recommended that the employees of statutory and non statutory canteens as per the order of the
Hon’ble Supreme Court be treated at par and similar benefits shall be admissible to them since they have
already been declared as civil employees. The claimant was appointed as bearer with effect from 20.10.1972 in
the pre revised scale of 2610-3540. As per 5th CPC the ACP scheme became operational from 09.08.1999 and
as per the said scheme the ACP was made applicable to the non-statutory canteens employees too. Before that
in order to draw parity in the cadre of statutory and not statuary and canteens employees the Govt. had
constituted a staff inspection unit which had recommended re-structuring of the post and the admissible pay
scale.
9. The claimant in his oral testimony has stated that the ACP was admissible as a mode of financial
upgradation to the employees who could non get promotion within 12 years or 24 years of regular service as the
first and second ACP. Though the scheme was extended to the non statutory canteen employees and the
claimant was entitled to first ACP in the pay sale of 3050-4500 and later on when promoted as cook which was
re-designated as Assistant Halwai cum cook as per the recommendation of 5th pay commission he should have
been allowed second ACP in the pay scale of 4000-6000 and third MACP in the pay scale of 5000-8000. The
Management without application of mind refused to grant him second ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 which
substantially affected his pay and pension. It has also been stated that the post of cook and clerk in the non
statutory Canteen have been treated as skilled post and the clerk obtained an order from the principal Bench
CAT New Delhi for grant of second ACP in the scale of 4000-6000. Thereby the claimant has prayed that a
direction be issued to the management for grant of second ACP to him from the date it is admissible in the scale
of 4000-6000.
10. The witness examined on behalf of the management while relying upon a series of documents
submitted that the claimant has given misleading picture of the ACP allowed to the clerk of not statutory
canteens. As per the direction of the Supreme Court the employees of the not statutory canteen were declared as
central government employees with effect from 01.10.1991 and all the benefits of central government
employees of comparable status were allowed. On the basis of recommendation of fifth CPC, ACP was
introduced for central government employees by notification dated 09.08.1999. As per this scheme the
employees would be eligible for two financial up gradation on completion of 12 years and 24 years of regular
service respectively. The financial up gradation under ACP scheme was available only if no regular promotion
during the prescribed period 12-24 years have been availed by the employee. In the case the claimant he got the
first and second ACP in the scale 3050-4590 and 3200-4900 with grade pay of 2000. As such the question of
non grant of ACP doesn’t arise and he was rightly granted third financial up gradation under MACP with effect
from 26.09.2013. Hence, he got all his dues and the claim is not maintainable.
388 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
11. The ACP scheme became operational from 09.08.1999 which is the date of issue of OM no.
35034/1/1997. This scheme was extended to the canteen employees by OM no. 3/4/1999 dated 25.07.2000. As
per this notification for the purpose of determining the eligibility for financial up gradation of the canteen
employees under the ACP scheme the service rendered by the canteen employees was reckonable from
26.09.1983 that is the date of interim order passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. As seen from the notification
issued by the Ministry of Finance Department of Expenditure notification no. F.50(1/IC/97) dated 30th Sept
1997, it was decided to revised the pay scale to the common category department canteen employees and non
statutory canteen in various offices of the government. As per the said notification the pay scale of the bearer
was revised to 2615-3540. The claimant was granted first and second ACP on completion of 12 and 24 years.
This has been admitted by the claimant that he got 2 ACPs on completion of 12 and 24 years. Moreover, the
management has stated that the claimant was not entitled to ACP scale as a matriculate making him eligible for
first promotion to the post of clerk and second promotion to the post of Assistant management cum store
keeper. The MACP has been granted to him as a non matriculate bearer which is justified. Thus, on a careful
analysis of the evidence and the documents relied upon by the claimant as well as management, it is held that
the claimant is not entitled to ACP in the sale of 4000-6000 as claimed by him. The issue is accordingly
answered accordingly. Be it stated that the case of the claimant in ID No. 07/2009, decided earlier by this
tribunal granting ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 is distinguishable on facts, as the claimant of that proceeding
was a matriculate and eligible for promotion to the post of clerk and then to the post of storekeeper.
12. In view of the decision arrived whiling deciding issue no. 1 it is held that the claimant is not entitled to
the relief sought for. Hence ordered.
ORDER
The claim petition be and the same is dismissed on contest. It is held that the claimant is not entitled to the
grant of ACP as claimed by him. Send a copy of this award to the appropriate government for notification as
required under section 17 of the ID act 1947.
The reference is accordingly answered.

The Government of India in Ministry of Labour & Employment has referred the present dispute
existing between employer i.e. the management of Non Statutory Canteen, Dept. of Personal, and its
workman/claimant herein, under clause (d) of sub section (1)and sub section (2A) of section 10 of the
Industrial Dispute Act 1947 vide letter No. L- 42011/63/2014 (IR(DU) dated 17/07/2014 to this tribunal for
adjudication to the following effect.
“Whether refusal to grant ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 to Shri Bansi Dhar, the workman
by the management of Non statutory Canteen, Ministry of Defence under Joint Secretary
Training and CAO in the tune of Memo No. 03/04/2005-Dir. ( C) dated 25.07.2012 is just
fair and legal? If not what relief the workman concerned are entitled to?”
1. As per the claim statement the claimant workman was appointed as a bearer on 13.06.2008 in the Non
Statutory Canteen under the management of the Joint Secretary Training and CAO New Delhi. As per a
decision taken by the Government of India all posts in the Non Statutory Canteen and Tiffin Rooms run
departmentally were treated as posts in connection with the affairs of the union and incumbent of such posts
were declared as holders of Civil Posts under the Central Government. A notification to that effect was issued
by the government on 11.12.1979. The said order was given effect from 01.10.1979. In the said order it was laid
down that the condition of service of the incumbents of these posts will be framed under the proviso to article
309 of the constitution of India and shall be applicable retrospectively from 01.10.1979. Thereafter in exercise
of the power as directed in the memorandum the Government framed the Rule to regulate the method of
recruitment and condition of service of persons appointed to such civil posts. According to that rule specific
provision were made in respect of the period of probation for the persons appointed between the period
commencing from 1st day of October 1979 and ending with the date of publication of the Rule in the official
gazette. According to this rule a member of the service who complete the period of probation shall be deemed to
have been appointed on regular basis w.e.f the date he completes the probation. If any person has not completed
6 months on the date of publication of the rule his period of probation will be extended upto the date he
completes 6 months service and the period of probation can be extended for another period of 6 months in case
the period of probation is not found satisfactory. The claimant workman had successfully completed the period
of probation as per the Recruitment Rule i.e GSR 54 and accordingly he was treated as a permanent employee
and granted the pay scale of Rs. 160-275. The general secretary of the union as the representative of the
claimant and persons in the same footing had filed a writ petition bearing No. WPC 6189-7044 of 1983 and
8426-8455 of 1983 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court asking for a similar benefit as granted to the Non
Statutory Canteen employees. It was prayed that the benefit be granted w.e.f 22.10.1980. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court passed an interim order in this regard. Pursuant thereto the DOPT issued an office memorandum dated
03.11.1983 deciding that in compliance to the interim direction of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the pay of the
employees in Non Statutory Canteen may be fixed in the revised scale w.e.f 26.09.1983 as indicated in column
–III of the annexure to the said office memorandum. The manner in which the pay scale is to be revised was
also indicated in the said office memorandum. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the above said writ petition
390 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
passed the final order on 11.10.1991 wherein it was directed that the benefits granted in the interim order dated
26.09.1983 shall deemed to be operative from that date. Any further benefit is admissible, those will be
admissible from 01.10.1991. Pursuant thereto the Government of India Ministry of Personal and public
grievance issued another office memorandum dated 29th January 1992, declaring all employees of Non
Statutory Canteen, departmental Cooperative Canteen registered with the Director of the canteen a central
government employee w.e.f 01.10.1991. The pay commission, in the year 1996, also recommended that from
01.10.1991 all the benefits available to the other central government employee or comparable status should be
extended to the employees of Non Statutory Canteen. It was also recommended by the pay commission that the
posts of cook and assistant Halwai be upgraded to the pay scale of Rs. 950 to 1500/- as these are skilled posts
and demand for the corresponding pay scale is justified.
2. The Ministry of Finance, department of expenditure, constituted a committee named Staff Inspection
Unit to resolve the issue and the committee recommended the pay scale for all the posts in the Non Statutory
Canteen in its report submitted in May 2003. This report was reviewed by the Ministry of Finance and final
orders were issued on 22.12.2004 in which designation of the posts were restructured. But the recommendation
of the staff inspection unit with regard to the pay scale of Bearer Assistant Halwai cum cook was not considered
nor any association was communicated about the adverse effects of the benefits which stands contrary to the
observation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of MMR Khan vs. Union of India. Though the post of
Assistant Halwai and cook as well as Halwai is skilled work and their duties and responsibility is the same as
that of the clerk in the non statutory canteen the same was not considered at all. While the matter stood thus, the
clerks appointed in different non statutory canteens had challenged the pay scale of 3200-4900 granted to them
before the Principle Bench CAT Delhi through their Association. The Hon’ble CAT, in OA No. 714 of 2005
passed an order directing that the canteen clerks have to be granted the benefit of ACP in the pay scale of Rs.
4000-6000 and this aspect be considered by the government. Pursuant to the said order of the Hon’ble CAT the
government of India (DOPT) issued an order dated 19th April 2006 in which the pay scale of Rs 4000-6000 is
allowed to the clerks working in the non statutory canteen during grant of ACP. The similar scale was granted
to the cooks and Head cooks of the non statutory canteens run by the department of space, DRDO, etc. thus, the
association of the claimant served a demand notice for grant of the pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 to the claimant
and the persons of same rank w.e.f 09/08/1999. But the same was not considered by the management nor it was
forwarded to DOPT for consideration. It has also been stated that the similar dispute was raised before the
industrial Tribunal in ID NO.7/2009 in which the claimant Rajender Sharma was bearer in the non statutory
canteen under DRDO. The Industrial Tribunal by the Award allowed the pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 in grant of
ACP to the bearers of that canteen. The claimant through its union raised a dispute before the conciliation
officer. During conciliation the management raised dispute that the claimant since has been treated as civilian
Central Government Employees, cannot invoke the provisions of ID Act. But the Hon’ble Supreme Court in
WPC No. 248 of 1985 have clearly held that Id Act is applicable to all the canteen employees. The conciliation
since failed the appropriate government referred the matter to this tribunal for adjudication. The claimant has
pleaded that the action of the management in not granting him ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 is illegal and a
direction be issued in this regard.
3. The management filed written statement challenging the maintainability of the present proceeding
before this tribunal. In addition to that it has been pleaded that the canteen workers are now holders of Civil
Post and as per Rule 7 of the Central Civil Service Classification control and Appeal Rules they are included in
the General Central Service of the corresponding Group. As per the decision taken by the Central Government
all posts in the non statutory canteen and Tiffin Rooms run departmentally by the Government of India were
treated as posts in connection with the affairs of the union and incumbent of such posts declared as holder of
Civil posts. Accordingly a set of Rules called the Departmental Canteen Employees Recruitment and Condition
of Service Rules 1980 was notified. Some section of the canteen employees filed a writ petition before the
Hon’ble Supreme Court (C K Jha and others vs. Union of India ) praying to treat them equally and at par with
the general central government employees. The Hon’ble Supreme Court passed an interim order dated
26.09.1983 directing the Central Government to pay all employees of the non statutory canteen at the same rate
and same basis on which statutory canteen employees being paid. In the said writ application final order was
passed on 11.10.1991in which the Hon’ble Supreme Court came to hold that the Principle decided in the case of
M MR Khan and others vs. UOI squarely applies. While allowing the writ petition the court observed that
certain reliefs granted by the interim order dated 26.09.1983 shall deemed to be operative from that date of
order. In case any further benefits are admissible, those will be effective from 01.10.1991. For the purpose of
calculation of pension, service from the date of interlocutory order shall be counted. Based on the said order of
the Hon’ble Supreme Court the DOPT in consultation with the Ministry of Law and Ministry of Finance issued
O M No. 12-5-1991 as per which the employees of the canteens are to be extended all benefits as are available
to other Central Government Employees of comparable status except GPF Pension and Group insurance in
respect of which separate instruction would be issued. Accordingly separate instructions were issued. The
service of departmental canteen employees are governed by separate rules framed under constitutional
provision. It is a decentralized Cadre as each Ministry frames its own Recruitment Rules.

4. The claimant Bansi Dhar was appointed as bearer w.e.f 05.04.1974 in the pre revised scale of 2610-
3540 as recommended by 5th CPC in the departmental canteen. As per his service record, his educational
qualification has been noted as Nil which means he had not passed the required educational qualification. The
claimant had made a demand for grant of ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 as has been granted to one Virender
Singh by Ministry of Defence in the tune of DOPT Memo No. 03-04-2005. But Bansi Dhari the claimant,
stands in a different footing as he was appointed as a bearer on 09.02.1976 in the pay scale of 2610-3540 in the
pre revise scale. He was granted first and second ACP con completion of 12 and 24 years in the pay scale of
3050-4590 and 3200-4000 respectively w.e.f 09.08.1990 and 26.09.2007. This was allowed on completion of
years of service reckonable from the year 1983 as directed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. He has been granted
3rd financial upgradation under MACP Scheme Pay Band-I, GP 2400 w.e.f 26.09.2013. Hence, he is not entitled
to the financial upgradation of ACP as claimed by him. It has also been stated that on the basis of the
recommendation of 5th CPC, ACP Scheme was introduced for Central Government Employees vide OM No.
35034/1/1997 dated 09.08.1999. As per this scheme the employee would be eligible for 2 financial upgradation
on completion of 12 years and 24 years of regular service respectively and the said financial upgradation under
ACP was available only if no regular promotion during the prescribed period of 12 and 24 years have been
availed. In this case for the two upgradations allowed as per his eligibility the claimant was not found entitled to
the ACP scale as as claimed by him. But he was granted 3rd financial upgradation under MACP w.e.f
26.09.2013. Though, the ACP scheme which became operational from 09.08.1999 was applicable to the non
statutory canteen employees the claimant is not entitled to the same. For the purpose of determining the
eligibility for consideration of the financial upgradation under the ACP Scheme the service rendered by the
canteen employees is reckonable from 26.09.1983 i.e from the date of interim order passed by the Hon’ble
Supreme Court or actual appointment in regular service whichever is later. The claimant is thus, not entitled to
the ACP as claimed by him. The government on considering the recommendation of 5th CPC decided to grant
revised scale of pay to the common category of non statutory canteen employees in different offices. As per the
said revision a bearer was to get the revised pay scale of 2610-60-3150-65-3540. It is correct that as per the
recommendations of 5th CPC. The ACP notified on 09.08.1999 was extended to the employees of non-statutory
canteens located in Central Government Offices. As per the scheme, employees would be illegible for minimum
of two financial of upgraduation in the entire service career on completion of 12 and 24 years of regular
services. As per this scheme conditions no. 6, in annexure 1 to OM No. 35034/1/97 dated 09.08.1999 all
promotion norms have to be fulfilled for upgradation under the scheme. Following the Supreme Court order the
hierarchy and scale of canteens employees was modified taking into consideration the implementation of
SIU(Staff Inspection Unit) and DOPT issued OM no. 03/10/2001 dated 22.12.2004.
5. The ACP scheme for employees of non-statutory canteens was further revised vide DOPT letter no.
314/2005 dated 14.01.2008. To obviate certain anomalies, the scale to be given on grants of first ACP was
annexed to the said letter. Owing to implementation of the said ACP order dated 14.01.2008, again certain
anomalies cropped in while the pay was fixed. Thus, the same was again brought to the notice of DOPT.
Thereafter the ACP scheme was partially reviewed and modified in respect of the ACP to be granted to the
bearers/and the coffer/Tea makers in the pay scale of Rs. 2610/3540 indicating that the persons who are
matriculate and eligible for the promotion post for clerk in the pay scale 3050-4590 and second promotion to the
post of Assistant Manager-cum-store keeper shall be granted ACP in the pay scale of 4000-6000 as per the
recruitment rules. The non-matriculate bearers were illegible for first promotion to the post of Assistant halwai
cum- cook in the scale of 3050-4590 and second promotion to the post of halwai-cum-cook in the pay scale of
3200-4900. Accordingly, OM no. 3/4/2005 dated 25.07.2012 was issued. Since the claimants’ education as per
his service record was recorded as Nil, he was considered in the non-matriculate category. It was also noticed
that the claimant had already been granted two financial upgradation on his 12th year and before 24 years of
service. Thus the first and second ACP were justifiably granted. He was granted third upgradataion under
MACP. Hence, his claim is not maintainable.
6.
The claimant filed replication denying the stand of the management.
On these rival pleadings the following issues were framed.
ISSUES
1. Whether refusal to grant ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 to the workman by the management of non-
statutory canteen is just fared and legal? If so its effect.
2. 2. If not, what relief the claimant is entitled to and from which dated.
The claimant examined himself as WW1 and filed a series of documents which are all Governments
notification and orders related to grant of ACP issued from time to time. Similarly, on behalf of the
management one Kulbhusan Malhotra, Under Secretary DOPT testified as MW1. He also exhibited a series of
documents marked as MW1/1 to MW1/36.
392 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
7.
At the outset of the arguments the Ld. A/R for the management challenged the jurisdiction of this
tribunal to the adjudicated upon the issue.
It was argued that the claimant having been declared as holder of Civil posts under the Central
Government with effect from fist day of October 1979, as per the Governments notification dated 11th Dec 1979
and the recruitment rules has been separately framed, every person appointed or deemed to have been appointed
under the said rule, is a central government employees and as such the provisions of ID Act, are not applicable
in as much as the office of the respondent is not an industry under the Industrial Dispute Act. Moreover, as per
rules 7 of Central Civil Services classification control and appeal rules are deemed to be included in the General
Central Services of corresponding group. As such the dispute relating to them are either to be dealt by the
Central Administrative Tribunal or under the writ jurisdiction of the Hon’ble High court. He thereby prayed for
dismissal of the claim petition for want of jurisdiction. It was also pointed out that the issue came of before the
Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil appeal no. 6462 and 6464 of 2003 against the order passed by the Hon’ble
High Court of Bombay, in the case of Umesh Korga bhandari vs. Mahanagar Telephone Nigam. The Hon’ble
Supreme Court after a detail consideration referred the matter to a higher bench which is still pending. Hence,
the order passed by the Hon’ble Division Bench of Bombay in the case of Mahanagar Telecom Nigam referred
supra holding that the dispute of canteen employees is not maintainable under section 1091) of the Id Act is not
maintainable, holds good in the file. The reply arguments of the Ld. A/R for the claimant is that the proceedings
is maintainable and similar orders have earlier been passed by this Tribunal. This aspect shall be dealt while
dealing with the issue relating to ACP.
FINDINGS
8.
The admitted facts are that the workman was appointed as a bearer on 09.02.1976 and retired from
service in the year 2015. Pursuant to the order passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court the DOPT issued an order
dated 03.11.1983 granting all the benefits granted to the employees of statutory canteens. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court passed the final order on 11.10.1991 and pursuant thereto a decision was taken by the Government of
India and all posts in the non-statutory canteens and Tiffin room run departmentally by the Government of India
were treated as posts in connection the affairs of the Union and the incumbents of such posts were treated as
holders of the civil posts with effect from 1.10.179 pursuant to the notification rules were framed under the
proviso to article 309 of the Constitution of India governing the service condition of the canteen employees. The
canteen employees since filed writ petition before the Hon’be Supreme Court in the case titled C.K. Jha and
others vs. Union of India, an order was passed directing the central government to pay all employees of non
statutory canteens at the same rate and at the same basis on which employees of statuary canteen are paid. The
claimant as per the claim statement was appointed as a bearer on 20.10.1972. The Government declared all the
employees of non statutory canteens as holders of civil posts under the Central Government. By notification
dated 23.12.1980, GSR 54 as per which the claimant and others were declared as holder of civil posts under the
central government with effect from first day of October 1979. Under the service rule, framed every person
recruited to the services after 1st October 1979 has to complete a six month period of probation. A member of
the service who complete his period of probation satisfactorily shall be deemed to have been appointed on
regular basis with effect from the date he completes his period of probation The claimant since completed the
period of probation as per the recruitment rules he was granted the pay scale of Rs. 160-275. The general
secretary, as the representative of the workman had filed writ petition before the Supreme Court for grant of
similar benefits as extended to the employees of statutory canteens. The Supreme Court passed an interim order
and on the basis of the said order the interim relief was granted by the Government by the order of DOPT dated.
03.11.1983. It is also admitted that the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the said writ petition passed the final order
dated 11.10.1991 and pursuant thereto the interim relief granted was deemed to be extended from 03.11.1983
and any additional benefit to be granted shall be admissible with effect from 01.10.1991. The pay commission
in the year 1996 recommended that the employees of statutory and non statutory canteens as per the order of the
Hon’ble Supreme Court be treated at par and similar benefits shall be admissible to them since they have
already been declared as civil employees. The claimant was appointed as bearer with effect from 20.10.1972 in
the pre revised scale of 2610-3540. As per 5th CPC the ACP scheme became operational from 09.08.1999 and
as per the said scheme the ACP was made applicable to the non-statutory canteens employees too. Before that
in order to draw parity in the cadre of statutory and not statuary and canteens employees the Govt. had
constituted a staff inspection unit which had recommended re-structuring of the post and the admissible pay
scale.
9. The claimant in his oral testimony has stated that the ACP was admissible as a mode of financial
upgradation to the employees who could non get promotion within 12 years or 24 years of regular service as the
first and second ACP. Though the scheme was extended to the non statutory canteen employees and the
claimant was entitled to first ACP in the pay sale of 3050-4500 and later on when promoted as cook which was
re-designated as Assistant Halwai cum cook as per the recommendation of 5th pay commission he should have
been allowed second ACP in the pay scale of 4000-6000 and third MACP in the pay scale of 5000-8000. The
Management without application of mind refused to grant him second ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 which
substantially affected his pay and pension. It has also been stated that the post of cook and clerk in the non
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
393
statutory Canteen have been treated as skilled post and the clerk obtained an order from the principal Bench
CAT New Delhi for grant of second ACP in the scale of 4000-6000. Thereby the claimant has prayed that a
direction be issued to the management for grant of second ACP to him from the date it is admissible in the scale
of 4000-6000.
10.
The witness examined on behalf of the management while relying upon a series of documents
submitted that the claimant has given misleading picture of the ACP allowed to the clerk of not statutory
canteens. As per the direction of the Supreme Court the employees of the not statutory canteen were declared as
central government employees with effect from 01.10.1991 and all the benefits of central government
employees of comparable status were allowed. On the basis of recommendation of fifth CPC, ACP was
introduced for central government employees by notification dated 09.08.1999. As per this scheme the
employees would be eligible for two financial up gradation on completion of 12 years and 24 years of regular
service respectively. The financial up gradation under ACP scheme was available only if no regular promotion
during the prescribed period 12-24 years have been availed by the employee. In the case the claimant he got the
first and second ACP in the scale 3050-4590 and 3200-4900 with grade pay of 2000. As such the question of
non grant of ACP doesn’t arise and he was rightly granted third financial up gradation under MACP with effect
from 26.09.2013. Hence, he got all his dues and the claim is not maintainable.
11.
The ACP scheme became operational from 09.08.1999 which is the date of issue of OM no.
35034/1/1997. This scheme was extended to the canteen employees by OM no. 3/4/1999 dated 25.07.2000. As
per this notification for the purpose of determining the eligibility for financial up gradation of the canteen
employees under the ACP scheme the service rendered by the canteen employees was reckonable from
26.09.1983 that is the date of interim order passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. As seen from the notification
issued by the Ministry of Finance Department of Expenditure notification no. F.50(1/IC/97) dated 30th Sept
1997, it was decided to revised the pay scale to the common category department canteen employees and non
statutory canteen in various offices of the government. As per the said notification the pay scale of the bearer
was revised to 2615-3540. The claimant was granted first and second ACP on completion of 12 and 24 years.
This has been admitted by the claimant that he got 2 ACPs on completion of 12 and 24 years. Moreover, the
management has stated that the claimant was not entitled to ACP scale as a matriculate making him eligible for
first promotion to the post of clerk and second promotion to the post of Assistant management cum store
keeper. The MACP has been granted to him as a non matriculate bearer which is justified. Thus, on a careful
analysis of the evidence and the documents relied upon by the claimant as well as management, it is held that
the claimant is not entitled to ACP in the sale of 4000-6000 as claimed by him. The issue is accordingly
answered accordingly. Be it stated that the case of the claimant in ID No. 07/2009, decided earlier by this
tribunal granting ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 is distinguishable on facts, as the claimant of that proceeding
was a matriculate and eligible for promotion to the post of clerk and then to the post of storekeeper.
12.
In view of the decision arrived whiling deciding issue no. 1 it is held that the claimant is not entitled to
the relief sought for. Hence ordered.
ORDER
The claim petition be and the same is dismissed on contest. It is held that the claimant is not entitled to
the grant of ACP as claimed by him. Send a copy of this award to the appropriate government for notification
as required under section 17 of the ID act 1947.
The reference is accordingly answered.

The Government of India in Ministry of Labour & Employment has referred the present dispute existing
between employer i.e. the management of Non Statutory Canteen, Dept. of Personal, and its workman/claimant
herein, under clause (d) of sub section (1)and sub section (2A) of section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act 1947
vide letter No. L- 42011/64/2014 (IR(DU) dated 17/07/2014 to this tribunal for adjudication to the following
effect.
“Whether refusal to grant ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 to Shri Jagdish, the workman by the
management of Non statutory Canteen, Ministry of Defence under Joint Secretary Training
and CAO in the tune of Memo No. 03/04/2005-Dir. ( C) dated 25.07.2012 is just fair and legal?
If not what relief the workman concerned are entitled to?”
1. As per the claim statement the claimant workman was appointed as a bearer on 13.06.2008 in the Non
Statutory Canteen under the management of the Joint Secretary Training and CAO New Delhi. As per a
decision taken by the Government of India all posts in the Non Statutory Canteen and Tiffin Rooms run
departmentally were treated as posts in connection with the affairs of the union and incumbent of such posts
were declared as holders of Civil Posts under the Central Government. A notification to that effect was issued
by the government on 11.12.1979. The said order was given effect from 01.10.1979. In the said order it was laid
down that the condition of service of the incumbents of these posts will be framed under the proviso to article
309 of the constitution of India and shall be applicable retrospectively from 01.10.1979. Thereafter in exercise
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
395
of the power as directed in the memorandum the Government framed the Rule to regulate the method of
recruitment and condition of service of persons appointed to such civil posts. According to that rule specific
provision were made in respect of the period of probation for the persons appointed between the period
commencing from 1st day of October 1979 and ending with the date of publication of the Rule in the official
gazette. According to this rule a member of the service who complete the period of probation shall be deemed to
have been appointed on regular basis w.e.f the date he completes the probation. If any person has not completed
6 months on the date of publication of the rule his period of probation will be extended upto the date he
completes 6 months service and the period of probation can be extended for another period of 6 months in case
the period of probation is not found satisfactory. The claimant workman had successfully completed the period
of probation as per the Recruitment Rule i.e GSR 54 and accordingly he was treated as a permanent employee
and granted the pay scale of Rs. 160-275. The general secretary of the union as the representative of the
claimant and persons in the same footing had filed a writ petition bearing No. WPC 6189-7044 of 1983 and
8426-8455 of 1983 before the Hon’ble Supreme Court asking for a similar benefit as granted to the Non
Statutory Canteen employees. It was prayed that the benefit be granted w.e.f 22.10.1980. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court passed an interim order in this regard. Pursuant thereto the DOPT issued an office memorandum dated
03.11.1983 deciding that in compliance to the interim direction of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the pay of the
employees in Non Statutory Canteen may be fixed in the revised scale w.e.f 26.09.1983 as indicated in column
–III of the annexure to the said office memorandum. The manner in which the pay scale is to be revised was
also indicated in the said office memorandum. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the above said writ petition
passed the final order on 11.10.1991 wherein it was directed that the benefits granted in the interim order dated
26.09.1983 shall deemed to be operative from that date. Any further benefit is admissible, those will be
admissible from 01.10.1991. Pursuant thereto the Government of India Ministry of Personal and public
grievance issued another office memorandum dated 29th January 1992, declaring all employees of Non
Statutory Canteen, departmental Cooperative Canteen registered with the Director of the canteen a central
government employee w.e.f 01.10.1991. The pay commission, in the year 1996, also recommended that from
01.10.1991 all the benefits available to the other central government employee or comparable status should be
extended to the employees of Non Statutory Canteen. It was also recommended by the pay commission that the
posts of cook and assistant Halwai be upgraded to the pay scale of Rs. 950 to 1500/- as these are skilled posts
and demand for the corresponding pay scale is justified.
2. The Ministry of Finance, department of expenditure, constituted a committee named Staff Inspection
Unit to resolve the issue and the committee recommended the pay scale for all the posts in the Non Statutory
Canteen in its report submitted in May 2003. This report was reviewed by the Ministry of Finance and final
orders were issued on 22.12.2004 in which designation of the posts were restructured. But the recommendation
of the staff inspection unit with regard to the pay scale of Bearer Assistant Halwai cum cook was not considered
nor any association was communicated about the adverse effects of the benefits which stands contrary to the
observation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of MMR Khan vs. Union of India. Though the post of
Assistant Halwai and cook as well as Halwai is skilled work and their duties and responsibility is the same as
that of the clerk in the non statutory canteen the same was not considered at all. While the matter stood thus, the
clerks appointed in different non statutory canteens had challenged the pay scale of 3200-4900 granted to them
before the Principle Bench CAT Delhi through their Association. The Hon’ble CAT, in OA No. 714 of 2005
passed an order directing that the canteen clerks have to be granted the benefit of ACP in the pay scale of Rs.
4000-6000 and this aspect be considered by the government. Pursuant to the said order of the Hon’ble CAT the
government of India (DOPT) issued an order dated 19th April 2006 in which the pay scale of Rs 4000-6000 is
allowed to the clerks working in the non statutory canteen during grant of ACP. The similar scale was granted
to the cooks and Head cooks of the non statutory canteens run by the department of space, DRDO, etc. thus, the
association of the claimant served a demand notice for grant of the pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 to the claimant
and the persons of same rank w.e.f 09/08/1999. But the same was not considered by the management nor it was
forwarded to DOPT for consideration. It has also been stated that the similar dispute was raised before the
industrial Tribunal in ID NO.7/2009 in which the claimant Rajender Sharma was bearer in the non statutory
canteen under DRDO. The Industrial Tribunal by the Award allowed the pay scale of Rs. 4000-6000 in grant of
ACP to the bearers of that canteen. The claimant through its union raised a dispute before the conciliation
officer. During conciliation the management raised dispute that the claimant since has been treated as civilian
Central Government Employees, cannot invoke the provisions of ID Act. But the Hon’ble Supreme Court in
WPC No. 248 of 1985 have clearly held that Id Act is applicable to all the canteen employees. The conciliation
since failed the appropriate government referred the matter to this tribunal for adjudication. The claimant has
pleaded that the action of the management in not granting him ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 is illegal and a
direction be issued in this regard.
3. The management filed written statement challenging the maintainability of the present proceeding
before this tribunal. In addition to that it has been pleaded that the canteen workers are now holders of Civil
Post and as per Rule 7 of the Central Civil Service Classification control and Appeal Rules they are included in
the General Central Service of the corresponding Group. As per the decision taken by the Central Government
396 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
all posts in the non statutory canteen and Tiffin Rooms run departmentally by the Government of India were
treated as posts in connection with the affairs of the union and incumbent of such posts declared as holder of
Civil posts. Accordingly a set of Rules called the Departmental Canteen Employees Recruitment and Condition
of Service Rules 1980 was notified. Some section of the canteen employees filed a writ petition before the
Hon’ble Supreme Court (C K Jha and others vs. Union of India ) praying to treat them equally and at par with
the general central government employees. The Hon’ble Supreme Court passed an interim order dated
26.09.1983 directing the Central Government to pay all employees of the non statutory canteen at the same rate
and same basis on which statutory canteen employees being paid. In the said writ application final order was
passed on 11.10.1991in which the Hon’ble Supreme Court came to hold that the Principle decided in the case of
M MR Khan and others vs. UOI squarely applies. While allowing the writ petition the court observed that
certain reliefs granted by the interim order dated 26.09.1983 shall deemed to be operative from that date of
order. In case any further benefits are admissible, those will be effective from 01.10.1991. For the purpose of
calculation of pension, service from the date of interlocutory order shall be counted. Based on the said order of
the Hon’ble Supreme Court the DOPT in consultation with the Ministry of Law and Ministry of Finance issued
O M No. 12-5-1991 as per which the employees of the canteens are to be extended all benefits as are available
to other Central Government Employees of comparable status except GPF Pension and Group insurance in
respect of which separate instruction would be issued. Accordingly separate instructions were issued. The
service of departmental canteen employees are governed by separate rules framed under constitutional
provision. It is a decentralized Cadre as each Ministry frames its own Recruitment Rules.
4. The claimant Jagdish Chand was appointed as bearer w.e.f 20.10.1972 in the pre revised scale of 2610-
3540 as recommended by 5th CPC in the departmental canteen. As per his service record, his educational
qualification has been noted as Nil which means he had not passed the required educational qualification. The
claimant had made a demand for grant of ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 as has been granted to one Virender
Singh by Ministry of Defence in the tune of DOPT Memo No. 03-04-2005. But Jagdish Chand the claimant,
stands in a different footing as he was appointed as a bearer on 20.10.1972 in the pay scale of 2610-3540 under
the 5th CPC Scale. He was promoted as Assistant Halwai cum Cook on 01.08.1984in the scale of 3050-4590
under the 6th CPC. He was further promoted to the post of Halwai cum cook on 01.11.2006 in the pay scale of
3200-4900 with revised grade pay of Rs. 2000 in PB-I under 6th CPC. For the purpose of determining the
eligibility for consideration of financial upgradation of the canteen employee under ACP Scheme, the service
rendered by a canteen employee is reckonable from 26.09.1983 or on the actual appointment in regular pay
scale whichever is later. Accordingly the claimant was not considered for first and second financial upgradation
under ACPS as he has already earned two promotions i.e first promotion before 12 years and the second
promotion before completion of 24 years of service. He has been granted 3rd financial upgradation under MACP
Scheme Pay Band-I, GP 2400 w.e.f 26.09.2013. Hence, he is not entitled to the financial upgradation of ACP as
claimed by him. It has also been stated that on the basis of the recommendation of 5th CPC, ACP Scheme was
introduced for Central Government Employees vide OM No. 35034/1/1997 dated 09.08.1999. As per this
scheme the employee would be eligible for 2 financial upgradation on completion of 12 years and 24 years of
regular service respectively and the said financial upgradation under ACP was available only if no regular
promotion during the prescribed period of 12 and 24 years have been availed. In this case for the promotions
allowed the claimant was not entitled to ACP. But he was granted 3rd financial upgradation under MACP w.e.f
26.09.2013. Though, the ACP scheme which became operational from 09.08.1999 was applicable to the non
statutory canteen employees the claimant is not entitled to the same. For the purpose of determining the
eligibility for consideration of the financial upgradation under the ACP Scheme the service rendered by the
canteen employees is reckonable from 26.09.1983 i.e from the date of interim order passed by the Hon’ble
Supreme Court or actual appointment in regular service whichever is later. The claimant is thus, not entitled to
the ACP as claimed by him. The government on considering the recommendation of 5th CPC decided to grant
revised scale of pay to the common category of non statutory canteen employees in different offices. As per the
said revision a bearer was to get the revised pay scale of 2610-60-3150-65-3540. It is correct that as per the
recommendations of 5th CPC. The ACP notified on 09.08.1909 was extended to the employees of non-statutory
canteens located in Central Government Offices. As per the scheme employees would be illegible for minimum
of two financial of upgraduation in the entire service career on completion of 12 and 24 years of regular
services. As per this scheme conditions no. 6 in annexure 1 to OM No. 35034/1/97 dated 09.08.1999 all
promotion norms have to be fulfilled for up gradation under the scheme. Following the Supreme Court order the
hierarchy and scale of canteens employees was modified taking into consideration the implementation of
SIU(Staff Inspection Unit) and DOPT issued OM no. 03/10/2001 dated 22.12.2004.
5. The ACP scheme for employees of non-statutory canteens was further revised vide DOPT letter no.
314/2005 dated 14.01.2008. To obviate certain anomalies, the scale to be given on grants of first ACP was
annexed to the said letter. Owing to implementation of the said ACP order dated 14.01.2008, again certain
anomalies cropped in while the pay was fixed. Thus, the same was again brought to the notice of DOPT.
Thereafter the ACP scheme was partially reviewed and modified in respect of the ACP to be granted to the
bearers/and the coffer/Tea makers in the pay scale of Rs. 2610/3540 indicating that the persons who are
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
397
matriculate and eligible for the promotion post for clerk in the pay scale 3050-4590 and second promotion to the
post of Assistant Manager-cum-store keeper shall be granted ACP in the pay scale of 4000-6000 as per the
recruitment rules. The non-matriculate bearers were illegible for first promotion to the post of Assistant halwai
cum- cook in the scale of 3050-4590 and second promotion to the post of halwai-cum-cook in the pay scale of
3200-4900. Accordingly, OM no. 3/4/2005 dated 25.07.2012 was issued. Since the claimants’ education as per
his service record was recorded as nil, he was considered in the non-matriculate category. It was also noticed
that the claimant had already been granted two promotions on his 12th year and before 24 years. Thus the first
and second ACP were justifiably not granted. He was granted third upgrading under MACP. Hence, his claim is
not maintainable.
6. The claimant filed replication denying the stand of the management.
On these rival pleadings the following issues were framed.
ISSUES
1. Whether refusal to grant ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 to the workman by the management of
non-statutory canteen is just fared and legal? If so its effect.
2. 2. If not, what relief the claimant is entitled to and from which dated.
The claimant examined himself as WW1 and filed a series of documents which are all Governments
notification and orders related to grant of ACP issued from time to time. Similarly, on behalf of the
management one Kulbhusan Malhotra, Under Secretary DOPT testified as MW1. He also exhibited a series of
documents marked as MW1/1 to MW1/36.
7. At the outset of the arguments the Ld. A/R for the management challenged the jurisdiction of this
tribunal to the adjudicated upon the issue.
It was argued that the claimant having been declared as holder of Civil posts under the Central
Government with effect from fist day of October 1979, as per the Governments notification dated 11th Dec 1979
and the recruitment rules has been separately framed, every person appointed or deemed to have been appointed
under the said rule, is a central government employees and as such the provisions of ID Act, are not applicable
in as much as the office of the respondent is not an industry under the Industrial Dispute Act. Moreover, as per
rules 7 of Central Civil Services classification control and appeal rules are deemed to be included in the General
Central Services of corresponding group. As such the dispute relating to them are either to be dealt by the
Central Administrative Tribunal or under the writ jurisdiction of the Hon’ble High court. He thereby prayed for
dismissal of the claim petition for want of jurisdiction. It was also pointed out that the issue came of before the
Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil appeal no. 6462 and 6464 of 2003 against the order passed by the Hon’ble
High Court of Bombay, in the case of Umesh Korga bhandari vs. Mahanagar Telephone Nigam. The Hon’ble
Supreme Court after a detail consideration referred the matter to a higher bench which is still pending. Hence,
the order passed by the hon’ble Division Bench of Bombay in the case of Mahanagar Telecom Nigam referred
supra holding that the dispute of canteen employees is not maintainable under section 1091) of the Id Act is not
maintainable, holds good in the file. The reply arguments of the Ld. A/R for the claimant is that the proceedings
is maintainable and similar orders have earlier been passed by this Tribunal. This aspect shall be dealt while
dealing with the issue relating to ACP.
FINDINGS
8. The admitted facts are that the workman was appointed as a bearer on 20.10.1972 and retired from
service in the year 2013. Pursuant to the order passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court the DOPT issued an order
dated 03.11.1983 granting all the benefits granted to the employees of statutory canteens. The Hon’ble Supreme
Court passed the final order on 11.10.1991 and pursuant thereto a decision was taken by the Government of
India and all posts in the non-statutory canteens and Tiffin room run departmentally by the Government of India
were treated as posts in connection the affairs of the Union and the incumbents of such posts were treated as
holders of the civil posts with effect from 1.10.179 pursuant to the notification rules were framed under the
proviso to article 309 of the Constitution of India governing the service condition of the canteen employees. The
canteen employees since filed writ petition before the Hon’be Supreme Court in the case titled C.K. Jha and
others vs. Union of India, an order was passed directing the central government to pay all employees of non
statutory canteens at the same rate and at the same basis on which employees of statuary canteen are paid. The
claimant as per the claim statement was appointed as a bearer on 20.10.1972. The Government declared all the
employees of non statutory canteens as holders of civil posts under the Central Government. By notification
dated 23.12.1980, GSR 54 as per which the claimant and others were declared as holder of civil posts under the
central government with effect from first day of October 1979. Under the service rule, framed every person
recruited to the services after 1st October 1979 has to complete a six month period of probation. A member of
the service who complete his period of probation satisfactorily shall be deemed to have been appointed on
regular basis with effect from the date he completes his period of probation The claimant since completed the
398 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
period of probation as per the recruitment rules he was granted the pay scale of Rs. 160-275. The general
secretary, as the representative of the workman had filed writ petition before the Supreme Court for grant of
similar benefits as extended to the employees of statutory canteens. The Supreme Court passed an interim order
and on the basis of the said order the interim relief was granted by the Government by the order of DOPT dated.
03.11.1983. It is also admitted that the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the said writ petition passed the final order
dated 11.10.1991 and pursuant thereto the interim relief granted was deemed to be extended from 03.11.1983
and any additional benefit to be granted shall be admissible with effect from 01.10.1991. The pay commission
in the year 1996 recommended that the employees of statutory and non statutory canteens as per the order of the
Hon’ble Supreme Court be treated at par and similar benefits shall be admissible to them since they have
already been declared as civil employees. The claimant was appointed as bearer with effect from 20.10.1972 in
the pre revised scale of 2610-3540. As per 5th CPC the ACP scheme became operational from 09.08.1999 and
as per the said scheme the ACP was made applicable to the non-statutory canteens employees too. Before that
in order to draw parity in the cadre of statutory and not statuary and canteens employees the Govt. had
constituted a staff inspection unit which had recommended re-structuring of the post and the admissible pay
scale.
9. The claimant in his oral testimony has stated that the ACP was admissible as a mode of financial up
gradation to the employees who could non get promotion within 12 years or 24 years of regular service as the
first and second ACP. Though the scheme was extended to the non statutory canteen employees and the
claimant was entitled to first ACP in the pay sale of 3050-4500 and later on when promoted as cook which was
re-designated as Halwai cum cook as per the recommendation of 5th pay commission he should have been
allowed second ACP in the pay scale of 4000-6000 and third MACP in the pay scale of 5000-8000. The
Management without application of mind refused to grant him second ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 which
substantially affected his pay and pension. It has also been stated that the post of cook and clerk in the non
statutory have been treated as skilled post and the clear obtained an order from the principal Bench CAT New
Delhi for grant of second ACP in the scale of 4000-6000. Thereby the claimant has prayed that a direction be
issued to the management for grant of second ACP to him from the date it is admissible in the scale of 4000-
6000.
10. The witness examined on behalf of the management while relying upon a series of documents
submitted that the claimant has given misleading picture of the ACP allowed to the clerk of not statutory
canteens. As per the direction of the supreme court the employees of the not statutory canteen were declared as
central government employees with effect from 01.10.1991 and all the benefits of central government
employees of comparable status were allowed. On the basis of recommendation of fifth CPC, ACP was
introduced for central government employees by notification dated 09.08.1999. As per this scheme the
employees would be eligible for two financial up gradation on completion of 12 years and 24 years of regular
service respectively. The financial up gradation under ACP scheme was available only if no regular promotion
during the prescribed period 12-24 years have been availed by the employee. In the case the claimant he got his
fist promotion on 01.08.1984 in the scale 3050-4590 and the second promotion 01.11.2006 in the scale of 3200-
4900 with grade pay of 2000. As such the question for grant of ACP doesn’t arise and he was rightly granted
third financial up gradation under MACP with effect from 26.09.2013. Hence, he got all his dues and the claim
is not maintainable.
11. The ACP scheme became operational from 09.08.1999 which is the date of issue of OM no.
35034/1/1997. This scheme was extended to the canteen employees by OM no. 3/4/1999 dated 25.07.2000. As
per this notification for the purpose of determining the eligibility for financial up gradation of the canted
employees under the ACP scheme the service rendered by the canteen employees was reckonable from
26.09.1983 that is the date of interim order passed by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. As seen from the notification
issued by the Ministry of Finance Department of Expenditure notification no . F.50(1/IC/97) dated 30th Sept
1997, it was decided to revised the pay scale to the common category department canteen employees and non
statutory canteen in various offices of the government. As per the said notification the pay scale of the bearer
was revised to 2615-3540. The claimant was promoted 01.08.1994 and again on 01.11.2006 that is on the 12th
year and before 24th year of continuous service. Thus, his claim for grant of ACP was not allowed since he was
granted two promotion during this period. This has been admitted by the claimant that he got promotion
01.08.1984 and 01.11.2006 and such the management has rightly denied him ACP though he was granted a
MACP. Moreover, the management has stated that the claimant was not entitled to ACP scale as a matriculate
making him eligible for first promotion to the post of clerk and second promotion to the post of Assistant
management cum store keeper. The MACP has been granted to him as a non matriculate bearer which is
justified. Thus, on a careful analysis of the evidence and the documents relied upon by the claimant as well as
management, it is held that the claimant is not entitled to ACP in the sale of 4000-6000 as claimed by him. The
issue is accordingly answered accordingly. Be it stated that the case of the claimant in ID No. 07/2009, decided
earlier by this tribunal granting ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 is distinguishable on facts, as the claimant of that
proceeding was a matriculate and eligible for promotion to the post of clerk and then to the post of storekeeper.

AWARD
This is an application filed by the claimant against the management No.1 and 2 alleging illegal
termination of his service.
In the claim petition it has been stated that he was working in the premises of management No.1
through the service provider management No.2 for 13 years as a Technician. His last drawn wage per month
was Rs. 16286/-. The management was not extending the benefits of leave, PF, ESI etc to the claimant despite
demand. No appointment letter or salary slip was even provided by the employer. Thus, the claimant was often
demanding those legitimate entitlements. The management instead of extending the benefit to him, on
30.11.2019 illegally terminated his service and at the time of termination, no notice of termination, notice pay,
or termination compensation was paid. The efforts made by the claimants for reinstatement and grant of
legitimate dues since failed he raised a dispute before the labour commissioner. But the management did not
respond to the same. The managements though appeared did not agree to the terms of conciliation. Thus, the
claimant filed the present claim petition praying reinstatement with back wages.
Notice being served the management No.1and 2 appeared. Before filing of the written statement steps
were taken for conciliation of the matter and the conciliation proceeding was held during the Lok Adalat held
on 12.11.2022. For the terms of conciliation the claimant agreed to withdraw the claim having no grievance for
the alleged illegal termination and gave a statement to that effect which has been recorded in a separate sheet
attached to this record.
The proceeding is disposed of on conciliation as the claimant has disowned the claim against both the
managements. Hence, ordered.
ORDER
The claim be and the same is disposed of for the no claim advanced by the claimant against the
managements in respect of the alleged illegal termination of service. Send a copy of this award to the
appropriate government for notification as required under section 17 of the ID act 1947.

No. L- 42012/192/2010 (IR(DU) dated 27/10/2010 to this tribunal for adjudication to the following effect.
“Whether the action of the management IIT, Roorkee in disengaging
/terminating the services of Shri Tilak Ram temporary sweeper w. e. f.
01/06/2007 without any notice and compensation in violation of section 25F, G

407
and H of the I D Act 1947, is legal and justified? If not, what relief the
workman is entitled to?
As stated in the claim petition the claimant workman was working as a temporary sweeper (unskilled
worker) in the establishment of the management since 17.09.1999. When he was discharging his duties to the
satisfaction of the employer with sincerity, suddenly on 01.06.2007, the management discontinued his
employment without assigning any reason. No notice of termination or notice pay was paid to him in gross
violation of the provisions of ID Act, though he was working continuously since 1999 and had worked for 240
days in the calendar year preceding the date of his termination. The workman raised a dispute before the
conciliation officer, where steps were taken to conciliate and resolve the issue. That attempt since failed, the
Appropriate Govt. referred the matter for adjudication of the dispute. It has also been stated that the workman
was in the pay roll of the management of IIT Roorkee and his is evident from the correspondence made by the
head of IIT Roorkee to it’s Deputy Director. He was also getting Bonus like the regular employees which are
evident from the payment vouchers too. Hence the termination of his service by the employer without assigning
any reason and without complying with the provisions of sec 25F of the ID Act is illegal and the management
be directed to reinstate him in service with immediate effect with back wages from the date of termination as he
is unemployed since then.
The management of IIT Roorkee appeared and filed written statement refutting the stand of the
claimant workman with regard to the alleged illegal termination. The management has denied it’s relationship
with the claimant as the employer. However, it has been admitted that the claimant was working for the
management as a temporary sweeper. It has been stated that since the year 1996, the claimant was working as a
part time temporary sweeper in the guest house of the center fro continuing education in the premises of IIT
Roorkee. The centre for continuing education has been set up by IIT Roorkee for imparting training to outsiders
from corporate sectors and organizes the training program on grant received from the said corporate
organization. In order to provide accommodation to the participants, there is a guest house which is being run
utilizing the self generated fund of the centre of continuing education. In order to maintain the guest house some
persons are engaged purely on need basis and the persons engaged are part time temporary workers having no
relationship with IIT Roorkee and it’s academic activities.
So far as the claimant is concerned, he was engaged as a part time sweeper in the guest house. His
engagement being on need basis, it was never continuous. From 01.11.1996 to 31.05.2007, he had worked in the
guest house with intermittent discontinuance. He had never worked for 240 in a calendar year nor in the pay roll
of IIT Roorkee. The management of IIT Roorkee had never terminated the service of the workman. In the year
2005, the management of IIT Roorkee, in order to control the haphazard employment of adhoc workers, decided
to create a central agency through which employment to adhoc posts shall be made through that agency selected
through a bidding process and approved by the appropriate authority. It was decided that the adoch engagement
of skilled, semiskilled, unskilled and highly skilled persons shall be made through the said selected
agency/contractor, who shall extend the benefits like Provident Fund, Health Insurance, Gratuity and Bonus etc.
all the workmen concerned were duly informed to register themselves with the agency/contractor. But the
claimant workman chooses not to register himself and opted not to work under the contractor and as such
abandoned his work. Later on he along with some other persons approached the Hon’ble High Court of
Uttrakhand at Nainital, praying for regularization of their service. Subsequently, they withdrew the writ petition
and raised a dispute before the labour commissioner. The management did not agree to the demand of the
claimant. Hence this reference.Management has also denied that the claimant is unemployed and entitled to
reinstatement with back wages.
No separate and distinct issues were framed and the contesting claimant and respondent were called
upon to adduce evidence on the issues as per the reference. The claimant had filed an application seeking a
direction to the management to produce the relevant documents qua the dispute. In the application there was no
description of the specific documents required to be produced from the possession of the Respondent. The only
plea taken is that the documents are in possession of the Respondent. Considering the objection taken by the
Respondent, this Tribunal passed the order giving liberty to the claimant to adduce secondary evidence in
respect of the documents.
The claimant examined himself as WW1 and produced few documents which have been marked in a
series of WW1/1 to WW1/10. These documents are the photocopies of the Identity card, Representation to the
head of IIT Roorkee requesting regularization of service, internal correspondence between the head of the Guest
House and the head of continuing education centre requesting sanction of Bonus to the claimant and other
persons working in the guest house, the correspondence made to the claimant by the Head of the Guest House
informing him that the work done by him shall hence forth be done through the Agency selected Tender
process and asking him to register his name with the Agency/ Contractor to avoid discontinuance,
representation alleging illegal termination, other correspondences between the Prof and Head of the Centre for
Continuing Education to the Dy. Director IIT Roorkee evidencing the fact that the claimant was working in the
408 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
guest house since 1989. Besides these documents the claimant has filed photocopies of the vouchers through
which he was getting payment from the centre for continued education and photocopies of the cheques for the
payment.
On behalf of the Respondent, it’s Asst Registrar Shri Bane Singh Meena testified as MW1 and proved
the documents as MW 1/1 to MW1/3. The documents are the notification dated 9th Sept 2005, about the
decision taken for out sourcing the work through the Agency, the Representation received from the claimant.
Both the witnesses were cross examined at length by the adversaries.
During course of argument the learned AR for the Respondent submitted that the claimant was never
an employee of IIT Roorkee and was engaged on temporary basis by the centre for continuing learning. The
centre has a guest house which is being managed utilizing the Fund received from the corporate establishment
for which the training program is organized. Thus there is no constant need for the workforce and the
engagement of staff was owned basis only and during the time when any training program is undertaken. The
management has indicated the days in the WS during which the claimant was engaged and the same was never
continuous as claimed by the claimant. Thus the management argued that the burden lies with the claimant to
prove that he was in continuous employment of the Management of IIT Roorkee and had worked for 240days in
the calendar year preceding the date of his termination.
The counter argument of the workman is that the photocopies of the document exhibited by the
workman while adducing evidence, sufficiently proves the employer employee relationship and continuous
engagement since 1999. Otherwise the Respondent has admitted about non service of termination notice, which
makes claimant entitled to the relief sought for.
In this proceeding the claimant has all along maintained that he was working for the Respondent IIT
Roorkee in it’s guest house situated in the premises. He was getting his salary at the end of the month, though
calculated on daily wage basis. To support the oral evidence several vouchers (photocopies) have been placed
on record and the management has not denied these documents. The letters written by the then head of the guest
house to the Dy. Director having reference of the claimant has also been placed on record as Exits to prove that
the claimant was the employee of IIT Roorkee. The witness examined by the Respondent has also admitted
during cross examination that the claimant was working as a sweeper in the guest house during the relevant
period, but his engagement was not by IIT Roorkee, but by the Centre for Continuing Learning. The claimant
could not place on record the documents in support of his stand that he was under the employment of IIT
Roorkee. In such a situation, the claim is to be examined from the other circumstances i.e the effective control
test as has been observed in several pronouncements by the Hon’ble Apex Court including the case of Steel
Authority Of India VS National Union Waterfront Workers Union, reported in 92001) 7 SCC,1. In the
case of Workmen of Food Corporation of India VS Food Corporation of India, AIR 1985(SC) 670, the
Apex Court pronounced that the contract of employment always discloses a relationship of command and
obedience between them. When the same is proved from the evidence, relationship of employer and employee
is established.
In this proceeding the claimant has stated that he was working exclusively in the Guest House as a
sweeper. The ID Card, and the vouchers filed by the claimant clearly prove that he was working as a daily wage
sweeper in the Guest House. The assertion of the management that the guest house of the centre for continuing
education has nothing to do with the Respondent has not been disproved by the claimant. The vouchers filed by
the claimant also proves that he was getting his remuneration from that centre only. Hence from the oral and
documentary evidence adduced by the claimant coupled with the oral evidence of the MW 1, it is proved that
the employer and employee relationship was not existing between the Respondent and the claimant during the
relevant time as the Respondent was not exercising effective control and supervision over the work of the
claimant during the said period.
Industrial dispute has been raised by the workman and reference has been made by the Appropriate
Govt. to adjudicate if any illegality has been committed by the management in dis engaging the service of the
claimant, and if so, to what benefit he is entitled to. The management has forcefully argued and led evidence to
show that the claimant was not a regular employee of the Respondent. Thus there arises no question of
terminating his service or refusing his reinstatement. The entire claim is based upon some misconception of
facts. A document has been exhibited by the Respondent which has not been disputed by the claimant. As per
this document the Respondent, in order to regulate the haphazard engagement of adhoc employees, in the year
2005, resolved to out source the skilled, semiskilled and highly skilled persons through a contractor selected
through tender process. After selection of the contractor and inorder to ensure that the persons working on
temporary engagement are not thrown out of their job, notices were served well ahead on them. The said
employees were instructed to register their names with the contractor. The witness examined by the
management has stated that the decision taken in this regard was progressive as the contractor was to extend the
benefits of Provident Fund, Health Insurance etc to the employees engaged. But the claimant opted out of the
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
409
said arrangement and voluntarily abandoned the engagement. Hence his claim as has been advanced is not
maintainable.
The witness has also stated that the claimant was never in continuous service of the Respondent, nor
had worked for 240 days in a calendar year, making it obligatory for the Respondent to comply the provisions
of sec 25F of The ID Act. The claimant during cross examination has admitted that the Ext WW1/6 to
WW1/10 no way proves his continuous engagement and work for 240 days in the preceding calendar year. Thus
the claimant has failed to discharge this burden of proof too.
Having considered the submissions and appraisal of the record and documents filed this Tribunal is of
the view that there is no dispute on facts that the claimant was not a regular employee of the Respondent, but
was engaged as a sweeper on daily wage basis, though he was made to work for a long period with break, when
his engagement came to an end in the year 2007. It has been admitted by the management witness MW1 that no
notice pay or retrenchment compensation was paid to the claimant when his engagement was discontinued. But
that does not appear to be in gross violation of the provisions of sec 25F and 25 G of the ID Act since the
claimant has not succeeded in proving that he had worked for 240 days in the preceding calendar year of
termination. Moreover, the evidence on record proves that the service of the claimant was not terminated, but he
voluntarily stopped reporting for duty, as the decision of the management to introduce the contractor and to
outsource the man power was not acceptable to him. Hence the relief of reinstatement with back wages as
claimed is held not maintainable. The witness examined by the Respondent during cross examination admitted
that the other persons working with the claimant in the guest house are still working in the premises of the
Respondent and have been provided accommodation in the premises of the Respondent and the medical
facilities has been extended to them. . He also stated that the management is ready and willing to retain the
claimant for work provided he comes through the contractor who is the service providing Agency. The said
service providing Agency is not a party to this proceeding. Hence no direction can be issued to the said Agency
to engage the claimant for work. But it is felt proper to direct the Respondent to initiate a proposal with the said
Agency to consider engagement of the claimant for work as a sweeper. Hence, ordered.
ORDER
The claim advanced by the claimant is held devoid of merit and rejected. The reference is accordingly
answered. However it is kept open for the Respondent to consider the case of the claimant sympathetically and
take up the matter with the service providing Agency for his engagement as a sweeper in the premises of the
Respondent as has been done in respect of the persons working with the claimant in the Guest House of the
Centre for Continuing Education. Send a copy of this award to the appropriate government for notification as
required under section 17 of the ID act 1947.
The reference is accordingly answered.

AWARD
The Government of India in Ministry of Labour & Employment has referred the present
dispute existing between employer i.e. the management of The Executive Engineer, (Civil)CPWD,
Central Division -2, 20 Subash Road, Dehradun and its workman/claimant herein, under clause (d) of
sub section (1)and sub section (2A) of section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act 1947 vide letter No. L-
42011/5/2011- (IR(DU)) dated 25.05.2011 to this tribunal for adjudication to the following effect:
“Whether the action of the management of CPWD, Dehradun in withdrawing
financial benefits of ACP to the workman, Shri Puran Chand on account of non
passing of trade test, is legal and justified? What relief the workman is entitled
to ?”
Being noticed the claimant appeared and filed the claim statement stating therein that he was appointed as
Beldar in CPWD w.ef 22.02.1973 and superannuated from service on 30.11.2011. At the time of
superannuation, he was working as a plumber. On 01.04.1977 he was confirmed in the post of beldar which was
an unskilled category of post. In 1989 he had reached the maximum pay scale allowed to Beldar which was Rs.
750-940. Thus, w.e.f 01.04.1991 he was allowed in SITU promotion in the pay scale of Rs. 800-1150. He also
passed the trade test for the post of Assistant plumber in 1991. The Govt. of India pursuant to the
recommendation of 5th Pay commission introduced the ACP scheme w.e.f 9.08.1999. Pursuant thereto, the
claimant was allowed 1stACP in the scale of 3050-4590 on completion of 12 years and the 2nd ACP in the pay
scale of 4000-6000 on completion of 24 years from the date of initial appointment. This ACP was allowed w.e.f
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
411
9.08.1999. While the matter stood thus, suddenly by the order dated 26.08.2009 the mgt withdrew the 2nd ACP
granted to the claimant and made recovery of the entire amount paid. Before doing so, no notice was served nor
any opportunity was granted to the claimant to explain the circumstances. Being aggrieved he raised a dispute
through the union before the Labour Commissioner and on failure of conciliation the appropriate government
referred the matter for adjudication on the point if the order of the mgt withdrawing the 2nd ACP is legal and
justified. The claimant has further stated that the mgt had withdrawn the 2nd ACP and recovered the benefit
granted on the ground that the claimant has not passed the qualifying 2nd trade test for grant of 2nd ACP. In this
regard the claimant had stated that he was initially appointed as a Beldar and promoted to the category of Asst.
Plumber in the year 1991. And for such promotion he had passed the trade test of Asst. Plumber conducted by
the department in Nov., 1991. As per the order of director general of works, CPWD dated 7.5.1997 the Assit.
Categories of CPWD workmen merged with the main category and classified as skilled artisan and the
incumbents were granted higher pay scale notionally w.e.f 01.01.1973 and arrear was paid w.e.f 01.04.1981.
Thus , the Asst. category of CPWD workmen stood abolished w.e.f 1.1.1973 and the promotional scale for
unskilled category automatically got converted to the scale of skilled category instead of semi-skilled category.
For such conversion no 2nd trade test was required to be passed by the employee. But the mgt in an arbitrary
action withdrew the 2nd ACP granted to him on the pretext that he has not passed the 2nd trade test. This action
of the mgt is illegal and the claimant is entitled to relief of a 2nd ACP withdrawn from him. He has also prayed
for grant of 3rd MACP w.e.f 01.09.2008.
The mgt appeared and filed written statement denying the stand taken by the workman. The contention
raised by the mgt is that the proceeding is not maintainable since there exists no industrial dispute between the
parties. The other contention of the mgt is that the claimant was initially appointed as a Beldar in the pay scale
of unskilled category. He was conformed as Beldar as 01.04.1997 and was allowed the revision of pay as and
when applicable. He attained his maximum scale for the post of Beldar and thus after stagnation was granted in
SITU promotion w.e. f 01.04.1991 in the pay scale of 800-1150. Some anomalies arose with regard to grant of
In SITU promotion and ACP at the same time. Thus, the CPWD directorate vide letter dated 26.09.2008
clarified that In SITU promotion to unskilled labour is admissible in the pay scale of Rs. 800-950 . It was
further clarified that In SITU promotion would be admissible only upto 08.08.1999 i.e the date immediately
before the ACP scheme came into force. In Nov. 1991 the claimant qualified the trade test for Asst. Plumber
and was granted 1st ACP. For the merger of Asst. Category with the main category he was declared plumber on
30.1.2001. The claimant was granted 1st and 2nd ACP on completion of regular service of 12 years and 24 year
resp. and was placed in the pay scale of 3050-4590 and 4000-6000 respectively. This was done by the order
dated 06.7.2007. Consequent upon the implementation of 6th pay commission he was placed in the pay scale of
5200-20200 w.e.f 01.01.2006 as per the option given by him. At that point of time the pay scale of 1st and 2nd
ACP granted to various employees was reviewed and it was noticed that the claimant of this proceeding is not
entitled to 2nd ACP in the scale of 4000-6000 on account of not qualifying the 2nd Trade test, Accordingly, the
pay scale granted to him as 2nd ACP was withdrawn and the amount paid was recovered. The management has
further stated that this recovery was made in view of the clarification issued by the CWPD directorate in the
letter dated 20.02.2007. Thus, the management had pleaded the withdrawal of 2nd ACP is legal and justified
and cannot be called in question.
On these rival pleading following issue have been framed:
1. Whether the action of the mgt CPWD , Dehradun, in withdrawing financial benefits of ACP to the
workman, Shri Puran Chand on account of non-passing of trade test is legal and justified? If so its effect?
2. Whether the relationship of employee and employer exits between the mgt and the claimant if so its
effect?
3.To what relief the workman is entitled to?”
The claimant Puran Chand Testified as WW1 and filed the documents and marked as Exh. WW1/1 to
WW1/5. But he could not be cross examined as he died and his legal heirs were substituted. The A/R for the
claimant testified as WW2 and proved all the documents earlier exht. as WW2/1 to WW2/7. One Prashant
Singh the Executive Engineer testified as MW1 on behalf of the mgt and he also filed a no. of documents
marked as MW1/1 to MW1/20. The witnesses was cross examined at length by the A/R for the claimant.
FINDINGS
Issue No. 2.
No dispute has been raised by the parties with regard to the employer and employee relationship and thus
this issue was not pressed.
Issue No. 1.
412 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
Admitted facts are that the workman was initially appointed as a Beldar and he was made permanent in the
post of Beldar on 01.04.1997. It is also not disputed that he was granted In SITU promotion w.e.f 01.04.1991 in
the pay scale of 800-1150 and the actual order was passed on 18.11.1997. The said order has been filed as Exht.
WW2/1. It is also not disputed that the In SITU promotion was allowed upto the time just before the
introduction of ACP. The other admitted fact is that the workman had reached the maximum scale of unskilled
category in the year 1990. By filing the order of the CPWD dated 7.05.1997 marked as WW2/6, the claimant
has stated that the Govt. took a decision for merging Asst. category of the work charged, employees with the
corresponding main category and reclassifying them as skilled workman. Thus, after such merger, all the
promotions applicable to the skilled workman automatically became applicable to the semi skilled persons
reclassified as skilled workers. The said order since directed that after the merger the pay scale of each worker
in pre revised scale will be fixed term 01.01.1973 or on the date of merger whichever is later, the pay scale of
the claimant was accordingly revised. There was no anomaly in the said pay fixation. But the mgt acted
arbitrarily in withdrawing the pay scale granted to the claimant as the 2nd ACP on completion of 24 year of
service. During arguments the Ld. A/R for the claimant argued that the In SITU promotion was the time bound
scale granted in the next higher catre. The 1st and 2nd ACP was correctly allowed on implementation of 5th pay
commission, considering the fact that during the 1st 12 and 24 years of service the claimant had not got any
promotion. The grant of ACP was to compensate and give financial up-gradation to the persons who were not
granted promotion during this period. The claimant was reclassified as Plumber from Asst. Plumber and the
same was not at all a promotion. The mgt sought clarification from the directorate of CPWD about the
eligibility of 2nd ACP in respect of the persons whose posts were reclassified from semi-skilled category to
skilled category after the merger. In the said clarification which has been filed by the mgt as MW1/5, it is only
contained that for grant of 2nd ACP, the incumbent shall be required to pass the 2nd trade test required for the
post of promotion to Plumber/ Mason /carpenter etc. But the same is not applicable to the claimant since, he
was not promoted to the post of plumber but his post was reclassified from Asst. Plumber to plumber.
This argument of the Ld. A/R for the claimant sound convincing since in the clarification dated 20.02.2007
marked as MW1/5, in clause 3, it has been clarified that the Beldars are entitled for financial up gradation
under ACP Scheme. The 1st ACP in the scale of Rs. 3050-4590 shall be paid on passing of trade test required
for promotion from Beldar to plumber. It has also been stated that the 2nd ACP in the scale of work Asst. i.e in
the scale of 4000-6000 shall be granted to him and the trade test required to be passed is the same as required
for promotion from Plumber / Mason / Carpenter et. This clarification order nowhere prescribes that for grant of
2nd ACP a 2nd Trade test is required to be passed by the employee who has not been promoted to the post of
plumber, but his post was upgraded for the merger.
The contention of the mgt that for not qualifying the trade test the workman is not entitled to 2nd ACP is
found not based upon record though the witness examined on behalf of the mgt stated that for grant of 1st and
2nd ACP the workman had to qualify two skill tests and the claimant since could not qualify the 2nd skill test, the
2nd ACP was rightly withdrawn. This statement of witness stands contrary to the documents filed by the mgt.
The documents filed clearly show that there was no requirement for the 2nd skill test for grant of 2nd ACP to
persons whose posts were upgraded. Thus, it is held that the decision of the mgt for withdrawing the 2nd ACP
granted to the claimant is illegal. This issue is accordingly answered in favour of the claimant.
ISSUE NO. 3.
In view of the finding arrived while deciding the issue no. 2 it is held that the claimant is entitled to the 2nd
ACP from the date the same was allowed to him and the amount recovered shall be refunded to him. Not only
that his pay shall be refixed from the date of withdrawal taking into consideration the 2nd ACP withdrawn and
his salary and all other retiral benefit shall be calculated accordingly. Hence ordered
ORDER
The claim be and the same is answered in favour of the workman. It is directed that the mgt shall re-fix the
salary of the workman on the date of withdrawal of 2nd ACP after applying the same to his pay scale and
accordingly grant him pay for the remaining years of his service and the retiral benefits . The amount recovered
from the claimant shall be refunded to the LRs of the claimant within 2 months from the date of publication of
award with a minimal interest of 4 % p.a , failing which the amount shall carry interest @ of 6 % from the date
of withdrawal and till the final payment is made. The mgt is further directed to work out the pay fixation and
retiral benefits to the claimant within 3 months from the date of publication of the award.
Send a copy of this award to the appropriate government for notification as required under section 17 of the
ID act 1947.
The reference is accordingly answered.

1.
The Central Government vide it’s letter No. L-42011/178/2017-ID (DU) Dated 22/02/2018 opined that
an Industrial Dispute exists between the employer and their workman and referred the said dispute for

after be called is the Tribunal only) exercising the powers conferred by clause (D) of subsection (1) and
subsection (2A) of section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 (which shall herein after be called as ‘The ID

The reference is, “Whether Sh. Abid Raza Zaidi was allotted the duty of chaudhary by the management
w.e.f 01.01.1990 till his retirement i.e. 31.07.2015? If yes, whether Sh. Abid Raza Zaidi in entitled to the wages
of Chaudhary w.e.f 01.01.1990 revised from time to time?”
Receiving the said reference, Tribunal ordered to register the same as Industrial Dispute Case persuant
to which the present I.D.Case No. 131/2018, titled as Sh. Abid Raza Zaidi through The General Secretary,
M.C.D General Mazdoor Union V. East Delhi Muncipal Corporation through it’s commissioner was placed
before the tribunal on 27.03.2018. The claimant workman filed the statement of claim and made his appearance
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
417
through his authorized representative Sh. B.K. Prasad. Notice issued to the opposite party fixing 22.05.2018 for
filing of written statement. On 22.05.2018, very promptly the opposite party East Delhi Municipal Corporation
put it’s appearance before the Tribunal through Sh. ‘Rajesh’ the dealing officer and filed the written statement.
Consequently, 11.06.2018 was fixed to file rejoinder by the claimant and also for framing of the issues.
2.
The facts of the Industrial Dispute as emerges out from the statement of claim and the written
statement in defence as well as the material produced before and taken on record by the tribunal are being
briefly stated that the claimant initially appointed on the post of ‘Mali’ on 01.04.1988. It’s alleged by the
claimant but denied by the opposite party that he was performing duties of “acting chaudhary” w.e.f.
01.01.1990 till the date of his retirement i.e. 31.07.2015; under the order of competent officer of Horticulture
Department of the opposite party. Allegedly in proof of his performing the duties of Chaudhary Since
01.01.1990 the claimant placed in evidence Annexure A photo copy of a list of the malis, wherein the name of
the claimant appearing at serial no. 2 as one of them who were looking after the work of Chaudhary w.e.f.
01.11.1990. The claimant as witness has produced himself to prove the Annexure ‘A’ before the tribunal. In
oral examination, an identity card allegedly issued by the department as well the list Annexure A and a no dues
certificate issued to him after his retirement on vacating the official quarter stating him Garden Chaudhary is
placed in evidence. The claimant asserts himself entitled to the wages of Chaudhary in the pay scale of Rs.
3050-4590 w.e.f. 01.10.1990 upto the date of his retirement on 31.07.2015.
3.
Against the case of the claimant the opposite party pleaded that the post of Garden Chaudhary is
promotion post to be filled up by selection through Trade Test Conducted by the department from time to time
amongst the ‘Malis’ having required qualification of High School with ‘Agriculture’ subject. The claimant who
was initially appointed as Mali and regularized on 01.04.1988 as Mali, had no eligibly required for Garden
Chadhary of High School with Agriculture subject. He had also not appeared in Trade Test conducted by the
department and has never been entrusted with given dutiey of Garden Chaudhary by the competent officer of
the department. The management opposite party has also taken preliminary objection as to the maintainability
of the claim statement on the ground that he alleges him working as Garden Chaudhary since 01.01.1990 but
raised the claim after his retirement in the year 2017 with a lapse of considerable long time of more than 24
years. The management had firmly denied the claim of the workman to have performed the duties of Garden
Chaudhary at any point of time w.e.f 01.11.1990 till the date of his retirement on 31.07.2015, under the order of
any competent officer of the management. It is also denied that the management has adopted the unfair labour
practice in the matter of the workmen.
-
The claimant has anchored his case of working and discharging the duties of a higher post than the post
of Mali (where upon he initially had appointment and regularized) i.e. the post of Garden Chaudhary from
01.01.1990 till the date of his retirement 31.07.2015. He has pleaded to this effect the facts and evidence in Para
‘6’ of the statement of claim, which is reproduced below:
Para 6:- That copy of the work issued to the workman in which his name is appearing at Sl. No. 2 in which the
date of looking after the work of Chaudhary is metioned as 1990 which proves that Abid Raza Zaidi
was working as Acting Chaudhary w.e.f. 01.01.1990 so he is entitled to get the payment of Chaudhary
from the said date. Copy of the said work order admitted by the Officer of the management in Ram
Kishan S/o Late Likhi Ram is annexed herewith and marked as Annexure – A which proves that the
workman has been performing his duty as Garden Chaudhary w.e.f 01.10.1990 so he is entitled the
wages of Chaudhary in the pay scale of Rs.3050-4590/- up to the date of his retirement i.e. 31.07.2015
revised from time to time alongwith all consequential benefits.
-
The annexure ‘A’ to the claim statement is the only evidence of the claimant workman’s working on
higher post of Garden Chaudhary as pleaded above in Para 6 and the same is said to be the copy of work order
which is admitted by the officer of the management Ram Kishan S/o Late Likhi Ram which proves the
claimant’s working as such from 01.01.1990 to the date of his retirement on 31.07.2015. No other document in
support of this pleaded fact than the Annexure A is produced and proved in his evidence before the tribunal.
-
It is not pleaded in the statement of claim of the claimant whether he had moved any representation
before the competent authoring of the East Delhi Municipal Corporation with regard to the alleged inaction on
their part as not paying the wages of Garden Chaudhary at any point of time when he was allegedly discharging
the duties of the higher post of Garden Chaudhary in the period commencing from 01.01.1990 till the date of his
retirement on 31.07.2015.
-
It is worth to be gathered from the document captioned as ‘Report of failure of conciliation’ marked as
Annexure ‘B’ to the statement of claim, that the claimant (workman) has referred through union a dispute as to
the inaction on the part of management of East Delhi Municipal Corporation in not paying him the payscale of
the post of Garden Chaudhary w.e.f 01.01.1990 through a representation Dated 14.05.2016. Admittedly the
workman was retired on 31.07.2015. The Annex ‘B’ annexed with statement of claim thus itself shows that the
claimant had not raised the dispute prior to his retirement when he was in service and alleged to had performing
418 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
the work of a higher post of Garden Chaudhary than the post of Mali w.e.f. 01.01.1990. The date of
representation moved before the Conciliation officer is undoubtedly subsequent to the date of superannuation
which indicates that the dispute was actually raised after the retirement of the workman.
-
If the workman as he alleges was working and performing duties on a higher post than the post which
he originally had by virtue of his initial appointment and regularization w.e.f 01.01.1990 till the date of his
superannuation on 31.07.2015 but not paid the difference of salaries of the two post at any point of time, this is
pequliar and surprising that why he never felt aggrieved of such inaction on the part of management. If he raises
the issue of non payment of wages in pay scale of Garden Chaudhary during the aforesaid period after his
retirement he has strict burden of proof to prove by direct evidence with regard to his being entrusted with duty
of Garden Chaudhary from 01.01.1990 and continued as such till the date of his retirement.
-
Importantly to note, it is undisputed that the workman claimant who was initially appointed as Mali
and regularized as such had never been appointed on the post of Garden Chaudhary by the competent authority.
This is also note Worthy that the claimant has also not claimed his promotion or regularization on the post of
Garden Chaudhary. Admittedly, the claimant had no eligibility and qualification prescribed for such
appointment by way of promotion from his original post of Mali/ Chokidar.
-
The opposite party management by filing written statement of defence has denied the alleged working
and performing the duties of the higher post of Garden Chaudhary at any point of time during his service tenure
having been appointed/ regularized and posted as Mali Para 2,3,4 & 3-5 are reproduced from the written
statement here below:-
2:-
That claimant has not procedure any valid documents with support of their claim as he
claiming status of Mali w.e.f. 01.04.1990 claimant need to put strict proof with support of his
claim.
3:-
That the workman has never performed the duties of Garden Chaudhary and management
was never assigning him task as per the post of Chaudhary. No such type of Office Order was
issued by the competent authority.
4:-
That the claimant of this instant claim was regularized on the post of Mali on 01.04.1988. So,
present claimant cannot claim for benefits as per promotional post of Chaudhary w.e.f.
01.04.1990 as he never performed work of Chaudhary with the management as alleged in
claim. Further, it is submitted that present claimant was not passed Trade Test in any
conducted trade test by the Deptt., which is must required for the post of Garden Chaudhary.
3-5:-
That the contents of Para No. 3 to 5 of the claim are wrong and denied. It is denied that the
claimant was allotted the work of Garden Chaudhary w.e.f 01.04.1990. The claimant need put
to produce strict proof in this regard. No Office Order from any competent
authority/appointing authority has ever been passed in this regard. It is denied that the action
of the management amounts to unfair labour practice as alleged. That the contents of Para
No. 6&7 of the claim are wrong and denied. It is denied that the claimant is regularized on
the post of Chowkidar and receiving remuneration for the same post and accordingly to
revised pay scale from time to time. Further, it is stated that the workman has never
performed the duties of Garden Chaudhary so no question arises for the pay scale of the
Garden Chaudhary. It is denied that the action of the management amounts to unfair labour
practice as alleged. Kindly read the paras of preliminary objection which is not repeated here
for the sake of brevity.
- After the written statement of defence is filed by the management specifically denying the claim of the
workman as to his performing the work as Garden Chaudhary, the claimant did not opt to accept the offer
of the court, to file any rejoinder thereto, He denied to file any rejoinder as recorded in the order of the
tribunal dated 25.03.2019. The issues were framed. The claim of the workman having been specifically
denied and the documents including Annexure ‘A’ not admitted he had strict burden of proof to prove the
fact of his working on the post of Garden Chaudhary a higher post than his original post of Mali/ Chokidar
during the period commencing from 01.01.1990 to 31.07.2015 for a continues period of more than 25
years. The only papers alleaged to be a document in evidence to prove the fact, the workman had worked
and performed the duties of the post of Garden Chaudhary is Annexure ‘A’ to the statement of claim. The
said papers Annexure ‘A’ is blurred photocopy of an unknown original document, undated and without
identification of the office and officers who prepared the same under an official authority and who may be
termed as ‘custodia legis’ of the document. It is tried to be proved in evidence by claimant’s oral
examination recorded by the tribunal. Claimant is the only witness to prove the Annexure ‘A’ which is said
to be a list of those Mali’s who were entrusted with the duties of ‘Chaudhary’. Who and when prepared this
list for which period is neither pleaded in the claim statement nor in affidavit as statement of examination
in chief before tribunal is deposed. To prove the document neither the officer if any under whose signature
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
419
it is issued is produced in evidence nor the person/officer who may recognize and identify the signature of
the signatury is produced. The Annexure ‘A’ is not admitted by the management in their pleading the
burden is not discharged by the claimant to prove the same. The said document is therefore unreliable and
unworthy of credence for the tribunal.
-
The Annexure ‘A’ (List) is neither issued as extract of any register maintained and preserved by the
shown official in office having authority to do so in the ordinary course of official routine nor compared with
the original and verified under his signature. In these situations the Annexure ‘A’ cannot be said to have been
proved by the claimant in evidence nor can be said to have liberty from being proved for want of admission on
the part of the opposite party. Even the said Annexure ‘A’ does not assume the character of documentary
evidence worth to be taken into reliance by the tribunal.
-
Another paper is an ‘Identity Card’ which had not been made Annexure to the statement of claim dated
27.08.2018 and could not be placed before the issues were framed on 25.03.2019. Even there is no pleading
about the said Identity Card in the statement of claim, but placed in evidence making Annexure to the affidavit
of the claimant filed as the statement in examination in chief in evidence dated 22nd June 2018, much prior to
the filing of the statement of claim before the tribunal.
-
The Identity Card which is photostate copy has no endorsement of date of it's issuance. There is no
signature of the issuing authority. Before making Annexure to the affidavit the same is not compared with
original and verified. No management witness was confronted with the said Identity Card whether the same is
genuine. Even the workman had not proved by producing the original before the court in verification of the
genuineness of the Identity Card. In the situation the Identity Card shall also may not be termed as documentary
evidence worthy of credence and reliance in proof of the claim of the workman.
-
Lastly when admittedly the workman had never been appointed as Garden Chaudhary, he can not be
supposed to have issued Identity Card in his favour addressing his post as Garden Chaudhary.
-
One more papers though not pleaded and filed as Annexure to the claim statement but filed with the
affidavit of claimant workman in statement of chief dated 22.06.2018 is ‘No Dues Letter) issued on 17.03.2016.
This papers had also not been compared with original placing before the tribunal in verification of the same
before the tribunal on 19.07.2019.
Though the said document can not be said ingenuine but it has no bearing on the issue of workman’s working
on the post of Garden Chaudhary. The administrative officer Swami Dayanand Hospital who issued the letter
after the date of superannuation dated 31.07.2015 is not produced as witness by the workman. The workman has
not prayed to summon him as witness to enquire on what basis he addressed the workman in the ‘No due Latter’
dated 17.03.2016 issued by him. Even the witness of the management is not confronted with the said Annexure
of the workman’s affidavit .More over the No Dues Letter is in the specific context of vacating the house
allotted to the workman in the course of his service tenure in the establishment either as Mali or otherwise, can
not assume the probative force of certificate of appointment or posting a Garden Chaudhary.
-
Lastly, in pleading or evidence adduced by the workman no where it is described that in what respect
the duties of Mali, Chokidar and Garden Chaudhary are of different nature then also he was being discriminated
illegally in not paying the pay scale of Garden Chaudhary to almost 25 years though he had worked and
…….performed the duties of Garden Chaudhary throughout. Even it is not pleaded that amongst the malis
stated in the alleged list Annexure ‘A’ who are given the higher pay scale leaving him alone deprived of the
benefits.
-
The vehemence in pleading and argument is put on the right of parity with the beneficiates respondent
of the W.P.((C) No. 7947 of 2010) M.C.D V. Sultan Singh and others decided on 20th April 2011 in favour of
respondents. The case of the respondent (Workman of M.C.D) was that (Para 3 of the Sultan Singh Case).
“they had joined as Malies/ Chowkidars and were regularized with effect from different dates which
were detailed by the respondents in their petition. The respondents also disclosed the dates and
particulars since when they had been performing the duties and responsibilities of Garden Chaudhary
pursuant to directions by their superior officers. The respondents contended that the petitioners
admitted that the respondents were performing the duties and responsibilities of Garden Chaudhary in
the list sent by the petitioner to its horticulture department dated 23rd January 2003 by the central
zone. The respondents also relied on a list dated 10th August, 2004 disclosing the particulars of the
Malies/ Chowkidars who had been working as Garden Chaudhary in south zone and another list dated
6th January, 2004 of west zone.”
-
In the said writ petition, the petitioner MCD had challenged.
1.
“The order dated 29th January 2010 passed by Central Administrative Tribunal, Principal Bench, New
Delhi in T.A No. 1317/2009 titled “Sh. Sultan Singh & Ors V. MCD” directing the petitioner to examine the
420 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
claim of the respondents on the basis of the evidence produced before the Tribunal and thereafter process the
payment of difference of pay of the post held and duties discharged by the respondents on the higher post of
Garden Chaudhary if the claim of the respondents is found to be genuine and order dated 7th October 2010 in
review application No. 270/2010 dismissing the review application.
2.
Brief facts to comprehend the disputes are that the respondents filed a writ petition being W.P(C) No.
10158-86/2005 praying for a direction to pay difference of wages of Malies/ Chowkidars and that of Garden
Chaudhary from the date the respondents have been performing the duties and responsibilities of Garden
Chaudhary.
-
The writ petition was dismissed and order of the tribunal dated 29th January 2010 and 7the October
2010 were held not illegal, perverse or unsustainable.
-
Unlike the workmen respondent, in the case of MCD V. Sultan Singh & others the case of the sole
claimant in the present I.D. Case is not filed as to any existing claim but filed before the Central Government
Industrial Tribunal after his retirement. The dispute in the claim statement or earlier also before the conciliation
officer through representations is not raised or during the service tenure in the establishment of the
management.
-
The workman in the present I.D. Case though allegedly had got cause of action in the year 1990 when
he was not paid difference of salary through allegedly performing the duties of Garden Chaudhary did not
joined the writ petition No. W.P(C) 10158.86/2005 with equally circumstanced workmen while he was in
service.
-
In the case of MCD V. Sultan Singh & Others the MCD had sent list of Malis performing the duties
and responsibly of Garden Chaudhary to it’s department of Horticulture dated 23th January 2003 thus there was
an admission of their status and performance of duties & responsibility on higher post. In the present case the
claimant workman had not pleaded and proved any such list to be treated as admission in evidence.
-
The workmen in MCD V. Sultan Singh & others had sent a legal notice date 23rd February 2005
when they were in service to the department claiming equal pay for equal work, on failure of MCD to pay
difference of wages. In the present case any such claim is not raised by the workman during his service tenure.
-
Unlike the case of MCD V. Sultan Singh & Others the list of workmen with complete particular and
the date since when they were working and discharging duties and responsibilities of Garden Chaudhary is not
prepared duly signed and verified by any Identified official and approved by the competent officers.
-
The workmen in the present case has not been successful in proving the fact of his working as Garden
Chaudhary since 01.01.1990 to 31.07.2015 by reliable, credible and acceptable evidence.
-
Learned AR for the claimant submitted that the claimant workman is similarly situated with the other
workmen. Who, Where given benefit of pay scale of Garden Chaudhary in lieu of their working as Garden
Chaudhary originally having being posted as Mali. They were not duly appointed by promotion on the post of
Garden Chaudhary. In his claim statement the claimant has not given details and description of such workmen
with whom he is claiming similarity in status but not being paid in the pay scale of Garden Chaudhary like
there.
-
The Apex Court in Grih Kalyan Kendra Worker’s Union V. Union of India and others JT 1991 (1
SC 60).
“the question of parity in pay scale cannot be determined by applying mathematical formula. It
depends upon several factors namely nature of work, performance of duties, qualifications, the quality
of work performed by them. It is also permissible to have classification in services based on hierarchy
of posts, pay scale, value of work and responsibility and experience. The classification must, however,
have a reasonable relation to the object sought to be achieved.”
- In The Secretary, Finance Department and Ors. V. West Bengal Registration Service Association
and Ors. JT 1992 (2) SC 27, the Apex Court observed:-
“job valuation is both a difficult and time consuming task which even expert bodies having
the assistance of staff with requisite expertise have found difficult to undertake sometimes on
account of want of relevant data and scales for evaluating performances of different groups of
employees. The factors which may have to be kept in view for job evaluation may include (i)
the work programme of his department (ii) the nature of contribution expected of him (iii) the
extent of his responsibility and accountability in the discharge of his divers duties and
functions (iv) the extent and nature of freedoms/ limitations available or imposed on him in
the discharge of his duties (v)the extent of powers vested in hi (vi) the extent of his
dependence on superiors for the exercise of his powers (vii) the need to coordinate with other
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
421
departments etc. It was further observed that normally a pay structure is evolved keeping in
mind several factors e.g. (i) method of recruitment, (ii) level at which recruitment is made,
(iii) the hierarchy of service in a given cadre, (iv)minimum educational/technical
qualifications required, (v) avenues of promotion (vi) the nature of duties and responsibilities.
(vii) the horizontal and vertical relativities with similar jobs, (viii) public dealings, (ix)
satisfaction level, (x) employer’s capacity to pay, Etc.
- It is therefore as seen in the aforesaid judgment of the Apex Court and the Hon’ble High Court
judicature of Allahabad simply by saying that the workman claimant was working since 01.01.1990 on
higher post of Garden Chaudhary till the date of his retirement on 31.07.2015 though throughout the
aforesaid period he has been on the post of Mali/ Chokidar is not sufficient to allow his claim of payment
of deference of the two pay scales i.e. that of the Mali and the Garden Chaudhary it is admitted by him that
he had no educational qualification as per the eligibility criteria for selection on the post of Garden
Chaudhary he has not pleaded the responsibility and duty of the Garden Chaudhary with which he was
entrusted. There has been no evidence of raising the dispute on his part during his service tenure from
01.01.1990 to 31.07.2015 with regard to the inaction on the part of opposite party the management of
establishment in not paying him the salary in the pay scale of Garden Chaudhary. The management in his
reply and evidence on affidavit has asserted that the workman claimant has always been working on the
post of Mali and was throughout the service tenure paid the salary of Mali only has no work of Chaudhary
was entrusted to him. This fact as elaged by the management has not been rebuted by way of rejoinder to
the reply and counter affidavit even no evidence of taking work of Garden Chaudhary from him is given
before the tribunal.
In Federation of All India Customs and Central Excise Stenographers and Ors. V. Union of India
(1988) 3 SCC 91, it was held:-
Para 7:-
“there may be qualitative difference as regards reliability and responsibility justifying
different pay scale. Functions may be the same but the responsibilities make a difference. One
cannot deny that often the difference is a matter of degree and that there is an element of
value judgment by those who are charged with the administration in fixing the scales of pay
and other conditions of service. So long as such value judgment is made bonafide, reasonably
on an intelligible criterion which has a rational nexus with the object of differentiation, such
differentiation will not amount to discrimination”.
Para 11:-
It was further observed that in Para-11 of the judgment by the Apex Court that:-
“the same amount of physical work may entail different quality of work, some more sensitive,
some requiring more tact, some less, it varies from nature and culture of employment”
Thus, in the absence of required pleading as to the quality and quantity of work the extent of his responsibility
and accountability, the nature of contribution expected by him the extent of power vested in him the gravity and
extent of duties and functions the tribunal will not be a linker with his claim as to the payment of salary in pay
scale of the post of Garden Chaudhary.
Though delay and latches orinarily is immaterial for reference of any dispute by the appropriate government to
the Industrial Tribunal as the Industrial Dispute Act 1947 does not envisage any such limitation by an extra
ordinary delay of raising the dispute after the date of retirement by the claimant workman almost more than 25
years later from the date when the cause of action first arisen allegedly on 01.01.1990 the same is not
entertainable at this stage by the tribunal. Emphasis laid down by the learned AR for the management in support
of his contention to the above effect on the judgment of Apex Court in Nedungadi Bank Ltd V.
K.P.Madhauan Kutty and Others 2000 (2) SC 455 that even though no limitation is prescribe Under Section
10 of ID Act. The dispute may be held stale claim Para – 6 of the aforesaid judgment as reliedon the
management is coated here below:-
“Law does not prescribe any time limit for the appropriate government to exercise its powers under
Section 10 of the Act, it is not that this power can be exercised at any point of time and to revive
matters which had since been settled. Power is to be exercised reasonably and in a rational manner.
There appears to us to be no rational basis on which the Central Government has exercised powers
this case after a lapse of about seven years of the order dismissing the respondent from service. At the
time reference was made no industrial dispute existed or could be even said to have been apprehended.
A dispute which is stale could not be the subject matter of reference Under Section 10 of the Act. As to
when a dispute can be said to be stale would depend on the facts and circumstances of each case.
When the matter has become final it appears to us to be rather incongruous that the reference be made
Under Section 10 of the Act in the circumstances like the present one.”
422 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
Further relience is placed on Haryana State Coop. Land Development Bank V. Neelam Reported
in (2005) 5 SC 91. “it is held that the conduct of the respondent in approaching the labour court after more than
7 years was likely considered a relevant factor for refusing the relief”. In the present case also the conduct of
the claimant as gathered from the facts pleaded by him in his claim statement and evidence adduced and
produced before the tribunal is sufficient to infer the claim baseless and stale, not to be entertained by the
tribunal.
On the above discussion the claim of the workmen Sh. Abid Raza Zaidi deserves to be rejected and
reference is answered in aforesaid terms.
ORDER
The claim is rejected. An award is, accordingly passed. It be sent to the appropriate Government of Publication.

AWARD
1. The present reference has been made by the Central Government by its order dated 23.8.2019 passed in
exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the
Industrial Dispute Act 1947. The terms of reference as per the schedule to the said order are as under:
“Whether the demand of United Forum of MTNL Unions and association,
Mumbai for extending the benefits of medical facilities under CGHS to all working
as well as retired employees of lines with BSNL, is fair, legal and justified? If so,
what relief these employees are entitled to”.
2. The matter stands posted today for filing of claim statement. Claimants second party found absent on
repeated call. AR for the management insisted that the matter is old and the claimants has lost interest which is
evident from the fact that they are not attending the Tribunal prior to the out break of Covid. Perusal of the
record shows that the representative of the claimant Union had last appeared in January 2020. After that the
functioning of the Tribunal came to a halt on account of the outbreak of Covid. After the Tribunal resumed its
physical work on 22.2.2021, notice was issued to the claimant Union by registered post AD. It seems that the
notice was duly received by the claimant Union. Even afterthat the claimants are not appearing to file the claim
statement.
3. Considering the fact that the litigation is pending since 2019, and the claimant is not taking interest, the
reference is answered against the claimant as no claim is filed. The dispute is answered decided and disposed
of.
4. Record be consigned and the appropriate government may be intimated accordingly.

This case coming up for final hearing on 21.01.2020 and 05.03.2020 and this Industrial Tribunal-
cum-Labour Court on 31.05.2022 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-42011/05/2014 - IR(DU) dated 07.03.2014 referred the following dispute for
adjudication by this Tribunal.
2. The dispute referred is;
“ Whether the demand of the union ‘extending the benefits of the ‘gang labourers
(employment for sporadic type of work) scheme of Dept of Space, Govt of India
2012 granted to the gang labourers in Mahendragiri and LPSC, to similarly placed
11 gang labourers working in MVI, Valiamala’ is justified or not? If yes, what relief
they are entitled to ?”
3. The claim is raised by the Union for and on behalf of 11 casual workers engaged by the
Management. The 11 persons represented by the Union have been working at MVIT of Vikram Sarabhai
Space Centre(VSSC), Valiamala for the last several years. They are casual labourers and the Management is
using the nomenclature ‘gang labourers’ while referring to the workmen. The Management claims that the
causal workers and similar gang labourers are engaged for performing manual, sporadic types of works. Apart
from the workmen there are 52 gang labourers working with the Management, 33 persons working in
Mahendragiri and 19 persons with Liquid Propulsion System Centre (LPSC) at Valiamala itself along with the
above 11 casual labourers. The causal labourers had been trying to get the their services regularized with the
Management. The Management formulated a scheme for the 52 causal workers working at Mahendragiri
and at Valiamala. The 11 causal labourers represented by the Union had been working at Vikram Sarabhai
Space Centre (VSSC) at Valiamala for much longer period compared to the 52 workers. The scheme
formulated by the Management is pursuant to the directions issued by the Central Administrative Tribunal,
Madras Bench as well as the Hon'ble High Court of Madras and also the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India.
The scheme is not extended to the 11 casual workers engaged by MVIT, Valiamala, another unit of the
Management. The denial of the benefits of the scheme of Department of Space, Govt of India 2012 to the
workmen amounts to violation of the mandates of Article 14 of the Constitution which guarantees equal
treatment to all similarly placed citizens. Since the Management failed to respond to the request of the Union
to extend the benefit of the scheme to the workmen in this dispute, the Union approached the Assistant
Labour Commissioner (Central). During the joint discussion on 02.08.2013, the Management filed a written
statement stating that the matter regarding the extention of scheme benefits to the workmen is taken up with
Department of Space. However on 04.12.2013, the Management submitted that the benefits of Gang
Labourers (Employment for Sporadic Types of Work) Scheme of Department of Space, Govt of India, 2012
granted to the gang labourers in Mahendragiri and LPSC cannot be extended to the workmen in this dispute
as the same is formulated as per the direction of the Hon’ble CAT in respect of the 52 labourers only.
4. The Management filed a written statement denying the above allegations in the claim statement.
Indian Space Research Organization(ISRO) is an organization under the Department of Space entrusted with
research, development and application of Space Science and technology for the socio economic development
of the nation. ISRO carries out its activities through its different centers and units situated throughout India.
Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre(VSSC) is the lead center of ISRO where research and development activities
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
425
are carried out. VSSC is carrying out these activities through different entities/groups under it. Mechanisms
and Vehicle Integration Testing Entity (MVIT) situated at Valiamala is one of such entity under VSSC.
MVIT Stores of VSSC is engaging a few gang labourers from among the local residents for carrying out the
sporadic nature of works such as loading/unloading, furniture shifting and other material handling jobs in
MVIT, Valiamala. Gang labourers are being engaged on a day to day basis, whenever required. Every day
Stores Division sends requisition to the CISF for the required number of gang labourers based on the
requirements received from various divisions and also for the work in stores. CISF issues token in the name
of a person for the entry of a group of gang labourers. The gang labourers are not appointed against any
regularly sanctioned post. The doctrine of Privity of Contract envisages that the rights and obligations exist
only between the parties to the contract and not outside the contract. During 2007-08 all the existing gang
labourers engaged in VSSC were made members of Veli People’s Labour Contract Co-operative Society Ltd.
Thereafter they are engaged through the Society on contract basis. The gang labourers in MVIT did not
form any society and they continued to be engaged on the basis of the token system. MVIT Stores of VSSC
is not maintaining any separate name and address of the gang labourers. No muster roll or attendance register
is maintained by the Stores for them. The payments to the gang labourers are made in the name of person to
whom the entry pass is issued by CISF. The request of gang labourers for conferment of temporary status
was examined by VSSC and the Department of Science. It was found that the gang labourers do not fulfill
the conditions of grant of Temporary status under Casual Labourers (Grant of Temporary Status and
Regularization) Scheme, 1993 and therefore the proposal was not agreed to. The scheme formulated in
Liquid Propulsion Systems Centre (LPSC), another center of ISRO, was based on the Court directive
specifically for engaging 52 gang labourers in LPSC and the same cannot be extended to the MVIT gang
labourers as they were not parities to the litigation. The dictum laid down by the Hon'ble Supreme Court
in UOI Vs Vartak Labour Union, 2011 (3) SCC 246, Sathya Prakash Vs State of Bihar, 2010 (4) SCC
179, Secretary, State of Karnataka and others Vs Uma Devi and others, 2006 (4) SCC 1 and All
India SC & ST Employees Association Vs Arthur Jeen, (2001) 6 SCC 380 are relevant decisions in this
case.
5. The Union filed replication against the written statement filed by the Management. The
Management failed to answer all the crucial issues raised by the Union deliberately. The only grievance
of the claimant Union and the workmen represented by them is that they had been denied regularization when
their counterparts at Mahendragiri and Valiamala have been granted right of regularization as per the scheme
called ‘Gang Labourers (Employment of Sporadic type of Work) Scheme of Department of Space, Govt of
India 2012. The Management failed to give any valid ground for not extending the benefits of the Scheme
to the similarly placed workmen working with the Management. The list of 11 casual workers of the
petitioner Union countersigned by the Assistant Stores Officer and Senior Stores Officer of MVIT, wing of
VSSC is available to substantiate the claim of the Union. The decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in
Hussainbhai Vs Alath Factory Thozhilali Union, 1978 (4) SCC 257 and in Bhilwara Dugdh Utpadak
Sahakari Sang Ltd Vs Vinod Kumar Sharma and others, AIR 2011 SC 3546 is relevant in the facts and
circumstances of this case.
6. After completion of the initial pleadings when the matter was posted for evidence of the Union, the
Management filed an additional written statement with the approval of this Tribunal. In the additional
written statement, the Management raised a preliminary issue regarding the maintainability of the industrial
dispute. According to the Management, as per letter no.L-42011(14)/80-B.II.N dt.01.01.1981 the Ministry of
Labour, Govt of India clarified that the establishments connected with the Department of Space and ISRO
do not come under the purview of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Since VSSC comes under ISRO, the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 is not applicable to VSSC. The Department of Space vide its letter
dt.17.01.1981 also confirmed the same. Even this Tribunal in ID no.11/2008 held that VSSC is not an
industry in its award dt.09.03.2010. The gang labourers are not continuously engaged by the Management.
MVIT Stores engages the gang labourers as and when there is work involving these workers. The Scheme
formulated in LPSC, another center of ISRO was based on the court directive specifically for engaging 52
gang labourers in LPSC alone and the same cannot be extended to the MVIT gang labourers as they are not
party to the litigation. No discrimination is shown against the claimants.
7. The Union filed a replication on the additional written statement filed by the Management. The
Union strongly opposed the multiple written statements being filed by the Management. According to the
Union, the orders produced by the Management are intended to deprive the legitimate rights of casual labour
workmen. The said orders are in clear conflict with constitutional right of the workmen concerned, under
Article 14, 19(1)(G) and 21 of the Constitution. The initial Scheme covered the 11 casual labour workmen
engaged in MVIT whose cause for regularization is espoused by the Union in the above case. A copy of the
Scheme which came into force from 01.08.2012 would show that it is made applicable to 63 male gang
labourers including 11 persons in MVIT. There are no other gang labourers in MVIT other than the 11
workmen represented by the Union. There is no case for the Management that these 11 workers, out of whom
426 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
2 persons have expired during the pendency of the proceedings, are not the same persons who are covered by
the original scheme dt.01.08.2012. Subsequently another scheme was brought by the Management excluding
the 11 workers in MVIT. The new scheme mentioned the total number of eligible gang labourers as 52. It is
also stated in Clause 2 of the Scheme that the same shall come into force w.e.f. 03.09.2012. The two changes
made in the new Scheme dt.03.09.2012 are 1) the total number of beneficiaries are reduced from 63 to
52, deleting the 11 workers in MVIT and 2) changing the date of enforceability from 01.08.2012 to
03.09.2012. Even assuming (without admitting) that these two orders now produced by the Management are
legally sustainable at the time of its issuance, the same cannot sustain the test of law as the same is against the
judgment rendered by seven judges bench of Hon'ble Supreme Court of India in Bangalore Water Supply
Board case. The award in ID no.11/2008 will not act as res Judicata, as claimed by the Management. The
award is based on Central Govt Casual Labourers (Grant of Temporary Status Regulation Scheme) 1993
whereas the claim raised in this industrial dispute is on the basis of the Scheme formulated in 2012
exclusively for the Management. It is basic law that any number of disputes can be raised by a Union, if
there is any change in the demands/claim raised, even if an earlier demand/claim was adjudicated and
decided against the Union. The reliance placed on PRL Vs K.G.Sharma is not in any way helpful to the
Management as the same was decided on the materials on record and also on the finding by the Hon'ble
Supreme Court that the outcome of the research work have never been sold. The Hon'ble Supreme Court
also held that the knowledge acquired through research by PRL is not marketable or has no commercial
value. The Management has utilized the products born out of its research and development in this case
towards commercial purposes. In the year 2014-15, the income generated was to the tune of more than
Rs.1860.71 Crores. The term sovereign and the sovereign functions are attempted to be given meanings
going beyond the well founded limits established by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Bangalore Water
Supply Board case (Supra). In Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board case (Supra) the Hon'ble
Supreme Court evolved certain tests. The Hon'ble Supreme Court held that the employer is the institution
and the employees are scientists, para scientists and other personnel. It also held that its discoveries are
valuable contribution to the wealth of the nation since such discoveries can be sold for heavy price in the
industrial or other markets. Even though a research institute may be a separate entity discontented from the
many industries which funded the institute itself, it can be regarded as an organization propelled by
systamatic activity, modeled on co-operation between employer and employee and calculated to throw up
discoveries and inventions and useful solutions which benefit individual industries. It follows that research
institutes, albeit run without profit motive, are industries. The dispute under adjudication is now confined to
implementation of the Scheme in respect of the 9 workers in MVIT who were deprived of the benefits of the
Scheme.
8. The Management filed second additional written statement against the replication filed by the
Union. The rule of natural justice demands that the Management can file additional written statements, if the
circumstances warrants the same. The letter dt.01.01.1981 was issued by the Ministry of Labour, Govt of
India which is the nodal agency for looking after the welfare of the labourers. The letter dt.17.01.1981
relied on by the Management is issued by the Joint Secretary, the Govt of India, Department of Space
clarifying the Govt of India order dt.01.01.1981. The Gang Labourers (Employment for Sporadic types of
work) Scheme of Department of Space, Govt of India 2012 which came into force w.e.f. 03.09.2012 is being
implemented by the department in obedience to the directions of the Hon’ble CAT, Madras Bench in its
order dt.09.03.2010 in OA no.455/2009 filed by the 28 gang labourers engaged in LPSC, Mahendragiri which
was subsequently upheld by the Hon'ble High Court of Madras vide judgment dt.14.03.2011 in
W.P.no.19634/2010 and the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India vide judgment dt.29.07.2011 in SLP
(C).no.19200/2011. The gang labourers engaged in LPSC, Mahendragiri (now IPRC, Mahendragiri) were
the applicants and they were only the beneficiaries of the Scheme. Subsequently the benefit of the above said
scheme was extended to the gang labourers engaged in the Head Quarters of LPSC at Valiamala also based
on the directions of Hon’ble CAT, Ernakulam Bench vide its order dt.18.08.2011 in O.A.no.878/2010, filed
by them. The gang labourers engaged in MVIT/VSSC, Valiamala were not at all parties of any of these
litigations. There is no Scheme covering 63 gang labourers including 11 persons engaged in MVIT/VSSC.
The applicants in O.A. no.455/209 had filed a Contempt Application no.101/2011 before the Hon’ble CAT
during 2012. The Hon’ble Tribunal directed to file a compliance report. In the meantime a draft scheme was
made based on the Department of Personal & Training Scheme of 1993 and sent to Department of Space for
vetting. As there was delay in getting the vetted scheme, the department was forced to file the draft scheme
before the Hon’ble CAT on 25.07.2012. Said draft scheme was attested by the dealing officer, Sri.K. Suresh,
Sr. Administrative Officer, LPSC, Valiamala. It is a copy of this draft that is produced by the Union before
this Tribunal to support their case. In the hearing held on 26.07.2012, the Hon’ble CAT granted time upto
04.09.2012 for implementing the orders. The above scheme was implemented in its final form, as approved
by the Department of Space. A copy of the communication along with the Scheme was submitted before the
Hon’ble CAT, Chennai and on the basis of the submission, the Hon’ble CAT closed the Contempt
application. The activities carried on by the Department of Space are not coming under the definition of
industry and are thus specifically exempted by the provisions contained in the ID Act. The Hon'ble Supreme
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
427
Court of India in Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board Vs A. Rajappa and others, AIR 1978
SC 548 held that the Govt might restructure the definition of “industry” by suitable legislative measures.
Accordingly the Govt of India had decided to redefine the term ‘industry’ and while doing so, it was proposed
to exclude from the scope of this expression certain institutions such as hospitals, educational institutions,
scientific and research organizations’ etc. It was also proposed to exclude sovereign functions of Govt
including activities relating to atomic energy, space and defence research from the purview of the term
‘industry’. The decision pronounced by the Hon'ble Supreme Court regarding identically placed workers is
not applicable to all cases unless specifically directed to be so. In State of Rajasthan and others Vs Daya
Lal and others, C.A. no.486/2011 the Hon'ble Supreme Court held that one time scheme for regularization
of irregular or part time appointments cannot be a model for repetition. The claim of the Union that the
Management has utilized the products born out of its research and development towards commercial purposes
and income generated out of this, is not true and is untenable. ISRO is a fully funded organization by Govt
of India. The products such as Remote Sensing Data, Communication Transponders and Launch Services are
marketed by Antrix Corporation Ltd., a wholly owned Govt of India Company and not by ISRO. Govt of
India has accorded a very special status and conferred various special powers and privileges to the
Department of Space vide notification dt.18.07.1972 issued by the Hon’ble President of India in exercising
of powers confirmed by Clause (3) of Article 77 of the Constitution of India and the Rules made thereunder
amending the Govt of India (Allocation of Business) Rules, 1961 as the activities carried out by the
department are relatable to the “Sovereign Functions” of the Govt.
9. The Union filed IA no.65/2016 pleading to accept the additional list of witnesses in the industrial
dispute. The Union also filed another IA no.66/2016 requesting to issue summons to the signatory
Sri.K.Suresh, Sr. Administrative Officer to produce the original and certified copies leading to the Scheme
dt.01.08.2012. The Union further requested that the entire file containing the details regarding the evolution
of the Scheme and exclusion of the 11 workers represented by the Union are to be called for through the
witnesses. After hearing the parties, this Tribunal vide its order dt.26.05.2017 dismissed both the IAs. The
Management filed IA no.141/2016 seeking to admit the 2nd additional written statement filed by them.
This Tribunal vide order dt.26.05.2017 allowed the IA. The Union filed IA no.142/2016 seeking to direct
the Management to produce the entire file including the file notes containing two orders with the signatures
of the concerned officers of ISRO regarding the regularization of the gang labour workers, Gang
Labourers (Employment of Sporadic type of work) Scheme of Department of Space, Govt of India, 2012
offering benefits of the Scheme to 63 workers including the 11 workmen represented by the applicant
Union. After hearing the parties, this Tribunal vide its order dt.26.05.2017 allowed the IA and directed the
Management to produce the documents or to file an affidavit explaining the reasons for nonproduction. The
Management did not produce the documents called for however filed an affidavit stating that the files called
for is not available with the Management and hence they are not in a position to produce the same. The
affidavit filed by the Management is accepted by this Tribunal.
10. The Union examined WW1 and marked Exbts.W1, W1(a), W2 to W5 through him. The
Management examined MW1 and marked Exbts.M1 to M6 through him.
11.
The issues to be adjudicated are ;
1. Whether the industrial dispute is maintainable ?
2. Whether the 11 workmen represented by the Union working in MVIT, Valiamala is
eligible to be extended the benefits of Gang Labourers (Employment of Sporadic types of
work)scheme of Department of Space, Govt of India, 2012 ?
3. Relief and cost?
12.
Issue no.1
According to the learned Counsel for the Management, Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO)
under the Department of Space is a Govt of India establishment for promoting the development and
application of space science and technology for socio economic benefits of the country. ISRO has many
centers across the country. Liquid Propulsion System Centre (LPSC) is one of the lead center of ISRO. ISRO
does not carry out any activity in the nature of business, trade, undertaking, industry and handicraft. Hence it
does not come within the ambit of industry as defined U/s 2(j) of the Industrial Disputes Act and as such ID
Act is not applicable to ISRO or any of its units. Keeping in view the complexity and specialized nature of
work undertaken by the Department of Space, the department has been empowered by the Govt with special
powers by virtue of Presidential notification dt.18.07.1972. While deciding ID no.11/2008 the Central
Government Industrial Tribunal-cum-Labour Court considered the question whether ISRO and its centers
will come under the purview of Industrial Disputes Act. In that case, the dispute was raised by 11 gang
labourers engaged in Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre(VSSC). After considering the facts and circumstances
of the case, this Court held that VSSC is not an industry within the meaning of Sec 2(j) of the ID Act. A
428 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
true copy of the said award dt.09.03.2010 is produced and marked as Annexure R2. Ministry of Labour vide
communication no.L-42011(14)/80-B.II.N dt.01.01.1981 has clarified that establishments connected with
Department of Space and ISRO do not fall under the definition of the term ‘industry’ in the ID Act, 1947. A
copy of the said communication is produced and marked as Annexure R3. Based on the above clarification,
Department of Space vide OM no.7/6(1)/79-I dt.17.01.1981 declared that the provisions of ID Act, 1947 will
not be applicable to the centers of ISRO. A copy of the said OM is marked as Annexure R4. The employees
of ISRO are governed by service rules of Central Govt and for any grievance, they have to approach Central
Administrative Tribunal.
13. The learned Counsel for Management relied on the decision of this Tribunal dt.09.03.2010 in ID
no.11/2008 to argue that ISRO will not come within the definition of ‘industry’ U/s 2(j) of Industrial Disputes
Act. In that case the Union espoused the cause of 11 casual workers working in VSSC in Trivandrum. The
workers claimed bonus, medical and canteen facility. The Union claimed that these 11 workers have been
working for the last 20 years and they have acquired temporary status and hence they are entitled for the
benefits. The claim of the Management was that ISRO is not an industry and hence will not come within the
ambit of Industrial Disputes Act. VSSC is part of ISRO where research and development activities of launch
vehicles and allied technologies are carried out. Relying on the decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court in
Physical Research Laboratory Vs K. G. Sharma, 1997 (2) LLJ 625 and the communication of Ministry of
Labour to the Controller of Space Center, Sreeharikotta, this Tribunal held that VSSC will not come within the
definition of ‘industry’ U/s 2(j) of Industrial Disputes Act. Sec 2(j) of the Industrial Disputes Act reads as
follows ;
“Industry means any systematic activity carried on by co-operation between an employer and his
workman (whether such workman are employed by such employer directly or by or through any agency
including a contractor) for the production, supply or distribution of goods or services with a view to satisfy
human wants or wishes (not being wants or wishes which are merely spiritual or religious in nature, whether
or not), (i). Any capital has been invested for the purpose of carrying on such activities; (ii). Such activity is
carried on with a motive to make any gain or profit and includes a)…..b) Any activity relating to promotion of
sales or business or both carried on by an establishment.”
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Bangalore Water Supply & Sewage Board Vs A. Rajappa, AIR
1978 SC 548 clarified the scope of the definition of “industry” as,
A) Where there is a 1) systematic activity 2) organized by co-operation between employer and
employee, the direct and substantial element being commercial, 3) for the production and/or distribution of
goods and services calculated to satisfy human wants and wishes, primafacie there is an industry in that
enterprise.
B) Absence of profit motive or gainful objective is irrelevant, be the venture in the public, joint, private
or other sector.
C) The true focus is functional and the decisive test is the nature of the activity with the special
emphasize on the employer-employee relationship. If the organization is a trade or business, it does not seems
to one because of the philanthropy animating the undertaking.
In view of the above ruling, the scope of the definition of industry is settled once for all.
The case of the Management is that ISRO is a research institution for promoting the development and
application of Space Science and Technology for the socio-economic benefits of the country and also
providing valuable service to the nation. The Department has a primary objective of providing uninterrupted
space services to assist in all round development of the nation. In Bangalore Water Supply case (Supra) the
Hon’ble Supreme Court clarified the position of a research institute viz the definition of ‘industry’ U/s 2(j) of
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as follows;
“Does research involve collaboration between employer and employee? It does. The employer is the
institution, the employees are scientists, para scientists and other personnel. Is scientific research services?
Undoubtedly it is. Its discoveries are valuable contributions to the wealth of the nation. Such discoveries may
be sold for a heavy price in the industrial or other markets. Technology has to be paid for any
technological inventions and innovations may be patented and sold. In our scientific and technological age
nothing has more case value, as intangible goods and invaluable services than discoveries. For instance, the
discoveries of Thomas Alva Edison made him fabulously rich. It has been said that his brain had the highest
cash value in history for he made the world vibrate with the miraculous discovery of recorded sound. Unlike
most inventors, he did not have to wait to get his reward in heaven; he received it munificently on this gratify
and grateful earth, thanks to the conversion of his inventions into money aplently. Research benefits industry.
Even though a research institute may be a separate entity disconnected from the many industries which funded
the institute itself, it can be regarded as an organization, propelled by systematic activity, modeled on co-
operation between employer and employee and calculated to throw up discoveries and inventions and useful

429
solutions which benefit individual industries and the nation in terms of goods and services and wealth. It
follows that research institute, albeit run without profit motive, are industries.”(emphasis added)
The Hon’ble Supreme Court considered the above test in the facts and circumstances of Physical
Research Laboratory Vs K. G. Sharma (Supra) and held that Physical Research Laboratory will not come
within the definition of industry in Sec 2(j) of the Industrial Disputes Act.
14. ISRO, as rightly pointed out by the learned Counsel for the Management, is involved in research and
development of Space technology. However in the year 1992, Govt of India, Dept. of Space, floated a
company called M/s.Antrix Corporation as a marketing arm of ISRO for promotion and commercial
exploitation of space products, technical consultancy services and transfer of technologies developed by
ISRO. ISRO launched 239 satellites for 28 different countries as on October 2018. The commercial launches
for foreign nations were negotiated through M/s.Antrix Corporation, the commercial arm of ISRO. The
revenue earning of the Corporation as on 31.03.2017 was Rs.1,98,830 lakhs and Rs.2,03,933.16 lakhs as on
31.03.2018. Further ISRO has recently launched a company called M/s.New Space India Ltd (NSIL) to
commercialize space products and satellite development deals. The deal for launch of 13 U.S. satellites along
with Cartosat-3 recently was negotiated by the new company, according to reports. It is also reported that the
recent launches of foreign satellites were negotiated and formalized by M/s.NSIL. From the above it is very
clear that the test laid down by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Bangalore Water Supply case, (Supra) above
is fully applicable to the present case and ISRO and will come within the definition of ‘industry’ U/s 2(j) of
Industrial Disputes Act. All activities relatable to Sovereign functions of the government carried on by the
Department of Space are excluded from the definition of industry U/s 2(j) of the ID Act. However when the
commercialization of the research products are taken up, the Management cannot claim exclusion as clarified
by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the above referred case. It is seen that this issue was not considered by the
Tribunal in ID No.11/2008.
15. The learned Counsel for the Management also argued that the Ministry of Labour& Employment,
Govt of India has clarified vide communication No. L-42011(14)/18-BII.N dt.01.01.1981 that establishment
connected with Department of Space and ISRO do not fall within the definition of term ‘industry’ in the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Consequently provisions of various social welfare laws like ID Act, Factories
Act etc., are not applicable to the units of ISRO. Based on the above clarification by Ministry of Labour &
Employment, Department of Space vide OM no.7/6(1)/79-I dt.17.1.1981 declared that the provisions of ID
Act, 1947 will not be applicable to the centers of ISRO/Department of Space. The Counsel also argued that
the employees of ISRO are governed by service rules of Central Govt employees and in the event of any
grievance, they will have to approach Central Administrative Tribunal. The legal validity of the
Annexure.R1(c) dt.01.01.1981, communication issued by Ministry of Labour, Govt of India and
Annexure.R1(d) issued by Dept. of Space on 17.01.1981 were considered by the Hon’ble High Court of
Kerala in RP no.56/2017 and vide its order dt.16.02.2017 held that,
“ First of all this Court is of the view that any communication issued by the union Government will not
bar any industrial adjudicator to determine an activity is industry or not, in accordance with the definition of
‘industry’ under Industrial Disputes Act. At the best, those communications can be treated as a piece of
evidence for the purpose of understanding the nature of the activity. Therefore, this Court is of the view that
while deciding the scope of industrial dispute, the industrial adjudicator will have to decide the activities
of ISRO independently, uninfluenced by such communications and also by considering the nature of the
activities.”
In view of the above decision by the Hon’ble High Court the issue whether ID Act, 1947 is applicable
to ISRO is to be decided independent of the circulars issued by the Govt of India in this regard. This Tribunal
considered all the above issues in ID No.20/2017 and vide order dt.20.11.2019 held that Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947 is applicable to ISRO. The issue whether ISRO/VSSC will come within the definition of
industry was also examined by this Tribunal in ID no.27/2013 and ID no.35/2018 and by a common order
dt.07.04.2021 this Tribunal found that ISRO/VSSC will come within the definition of “industry” in the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
Having considered by the issues raised by the learned Counsel on either side and also the nature of
work rendered by the Management organization, I am of the considered view that ISRO/VSSC will come
within the definition of Sec 2(j) of the ID Act. Hence the issue is answered in favour of the Union and against
the Management.
16.
Issue no.2
Indian Space Research Organization is an organization under the Department of Space entrusted with
research development and application of Space Science and technology for the socio economic development
of the nation. ISRO carries out its activities through different centers and units situated throughout India.
Vikram Sarabhai Space Center is the lead center. It has got its units such as LPSC, Mahendragiri and
430 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : FEBRUARY 18, 2023/ MAGHA 29, 1944
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
Valiamala and Mechanisms and Vehicle Integration Testing (MVIT) entity situated at Valiamala. All these
units engaged casual employees called gang labourers for their sporadic type of works. The gang labourers
engaged in LPSC, Mahendragiri approached the Hon’ble CAT, Madras Bench in O.A. no.455/2009 and the
Hon’ble CAT vide its order dt.09.03.2010 directed the Management to come up with a scheme for partially
regularizing the service of the gang labourers. The Management challenged the order of the Hon’ble CAT,
Madras Bench before the Hon'ble High Court of Madras in W.P no.19634/2010 and the Hon'ble High Court
vide its judgment dt.14.03.2011 dismissed the writ petition and confirmed the order of the Hon’ble CAT,
Madras Bench. The Management challenged the said order before the Hon'ble Supreme Court in SLP (C)
no.19200/2011 and the Hon'ble Supreme Court dismissed the same vide judgment dt.29.07.2011. When
the Union moved the Hon’ble CAT, Madras Bench on contempt, the Management came with a scheme
called ‘Gang Labourers (Employment of Sporadic Type of Work) Scheme of Department of Space, Govt of
India 2012’. The Scheme came into force w.e.f. 03.09.2012. The benefit of the aforesaid scheme was
extended to the gang labourers engaged in Head Quarters of LPSC at Valiamala based on the direction of
the Hon’ble CAT, Ernakulam Bench vide its order dt.18.08.2011 in O.A. no. 878/2010. According to the
learned Counsel for the Union, the gang labourers engaged in LPSC, Mahendragiri and Valiamala are
doing the same work as that of the gang labourers in MVIT, Valiamala and there is absolutely no reason
why the gang labourers working in MVIT, Valiamala shall be discriminated while partially regularizing the
services under 2012 Scheme. According to the learned Counsel for the Management, in view of the nature
of work done by the gang labourers, it is difficult to identify the 11 workers involved in this industrial
dispute, whose cause is espoused by the Union. The learned Counsel for the Union relied on Exbt.W1 and
Exbt.W1(a) and argued that the list of causal labourers are maintained by the Management and Exbt.W1(a)
issued by the Senior Purchase and Store Officer to the Administrative Officer VSSC would clearly indicated
that the Management is having the list of casual labourers working at MVIT Stores, Valiamala. The learned
Counsel for the Union pointed out that the casual workers working in LPSC, Mahendragiri and Valiamala
are doing the same nature of work as that of the gang labourers working in MVIT, Valiamala. He further
pointed out that originally the 11 workmen working in MVIT, Valiamala were also included under the
Scheme and for some reason these 11 employees were excluded from the final Scheme. He relied on the
copy of the Scheme which was supposed to be implemented w.e.f. 01.08.2012. In that Scheme the 11
employees working in MVIT was also included. However in the final Scheme which was implemented from
03.09.2012, the 11workmen in this dispute were excluded by the Management. According to the learned
Counsel for the Management, the Scheme relied on by the Union was only a draft scheme produced before
Hon’ble CAT, Madras Bench in view of the contempt petition filed by the Union therein. It was not an
approved Scheme. He produced a copy of the approved scheme and also the communication
no.12021/6/2012-I dt.03.09.2012 issued by the Department of Space. In the final Scheme approved by the
Department of Space, the 11 labourers involved in this dispute was excluded and the effective date of
implementation is made from 03.09.2012. According to the learned Counsel for the Management, the said
Scheme is applicable only to the Unions which had approached the Hon’ble CAT, Madras Bench and
Ernakulam Bench and it is not applicable to the gang labourers engaged in the MVIT, Valiamala. The
Management has no case that the 52 gang labourers are doing some work that is different from that of the 11
gang labourers working in MVIT, Valiamala. The only ground pleaded by the Management for not
extending the benefit of the Scheme to the workers in this industrial dispute is that they were not party to the
proceedings before CAT.
17. As per the provisions of Gang Labourers (Employment for Sporadic type of work) Scheme of
Department of Space, Govt of India 2012, the Scheme is applicable to 52 gang labourers performing manual
sporadic type of works in Mahendragiri and Valiamala, units of LPSC under Indian Space Research
Organization(ISRO). It shall not be applicable to gang labourers engaged in other centers. All the gang
labourers who are in engagement on the date of issue of the Scheme and who have rendered continuous
service of atleast one year, which means that they must have been engaged for atleast for a period of 206
days, would be employed on temporary basis till they attain the age of 60 years. Such temporary
employment would be without reference to the creation/availability of regular erstwhile group ‘D’ post.
Employment on temporary basis would not involve any change in duties or responsibilities of gang labourers.
Engagement of gang labourers will be on daily rate of pay. There shall be no age limit prescribed for
employment on temporary basis. They are entitled for the minimum of pay band for the erstwhile group ‘D’
employees. They are also entitled for leave as per the scheme provisions. Two out of every 3 vacancies in
erstwhile group ‘D’ cadres, if available for operation in respective units where the gang labourers have been
working would be filled up on regular basis from among the gang labourers employed on temporary basis. In
case of regularization of gang labourers employed on temporary basis, no substitute gang labourers will be
engaged. The learned Counsel for the Management pointed out that it is the responsibility of the Union to
establish the fact that the workmen worked for 206 days before employing him on temporary basis. The
learned Counsel relied on the decision of the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam
Ltd Vs Mohammed Rafi, 2009 KHC 5276. It is a case in which the Hon'ble Supreme Court considered
the burden of proof regarding the continuous service as defined in Sec 25B of the ID Act. The Hon'ble
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : फरवरी 18, 2023/माघ 29, 1944
431
Supreme Court held that the burden of proving whether a particular person worked for 240 days is on the
person who makes the claim. In this particular case the issue involved is whether the provisions of the
Scheme evolved by the Department of Space in respect of two of its units can be extended to similarly
placed employees in another unit of VSSC. The learned Counsel for the Union relying to the decision of
the Hon'ble Supreme Court in UOI and others Vs M/s.N. S. Rathnam and Sons, 2015 KHC 4488
argued that equal protection under Article 14 of the Constitution means the right to equal treatment in similar
circumstances, both in the privileges conferred and in the liabilities imposed. The Hon'ble Supreme Court
held that if two persons or two sets of persons are similarly situated/placed, they have to be treated equally.
The Hon'ble Supreme Court held that “What follows from the above is that in order to pass the test of
permissible classification two conditions must be fulfilled, namely, (1) that the classification must be
founded on an intelligible deferential which distinguishes persons or things that are grouped together from
others left out of the group and (2) that, that differential must have a rational relation to the object sought to
be achieved by the statute in question. If the Govt fails to support its action of classification on the touchstone
of the principle whether the classification is reasonable having an intelligible differentia and a rational basis
germane to the purpose, the classification has to be held as arbitrary and discriminatory”. As already
pointed out, the Management has no case that the labourers involved in this dispute are doing something
different from that of the labourers who are already brought under the Scheme. Hence there is absolutely
no reason why the workmen involved in this dispute shall be discriminated while extending the benefits of
the Scheme already approved by the Govt to the workmen involved in the present industrial dispute. The
learned Counsel for the Union also relied on the decision of Hari Nandan Prasad and another Vs
Employer, I/R to Management of FCI and another, 2014 KHC 4096 wherein the Hon'ble Supreme Court
held that “ Non regularization of appellant no.2, while giving the benefit of that Circular dt.06.05.1987 to
other similarly situated employees and regularizing them would, therefore, be clearly discriminatory”. The
Hon'ble Supreme Court in many cases pointed out that the Govt shall not make each employee to run
around for the benefits which are already ordered by the Hon’ble Court to a similarly placed employee or
group of employees. When the Scheme is extended to the labourers in this industrial dispute all the
conditions stipulated therein are applicable to the workmen. Therefore the issue whether a particular
employee will be eligible as per the Scheme is to be decided as per the terms of the Scheme which is not the
subject matter of this industrial dispute.
Considering the facts, circumstances and evidence, I am inclined to hold that the demand of the Union
for extending the benefit of Gang Labourers (Employment for Sporadic type of work )Scheme of Department
of Space, Govt of India 2012 granted to the gang laborers in Mahendragiri and Valiamala to the 11 gang
labourers in MVIT, Valiamala is fully justified.
18. Issue no. 3
It is already found in issue no.2 that the 11 labourers involved in this industrial dispute are entitled for the
benefits of the Gang Labourers (Employment for Sporadic type of work )Scheme of Department of Space,
Govt of India 2012. Hence the labourers shall be entitled the benefit of the said Scheme.
19. Hence an award is passed holding that the 11 gang labourers working in MVIT, Valiamala are also
entitled for the benefits of Gang Labourers (Employment for Sporadic type of work )Scheme of Department of
Space, Govt of India 2012 and the same benefits shall be extended to them.
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 31st day of May, 2022.
