AWARD
(Passed on 29-9-22.)
As per letter dated 12/9/2012 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the reference is
received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per Notification
No.L-12011/100/2011(IR(B-II). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of Central Bank of India in Khanvilkar, Ex-Head
Cashier vide order dated 21/1/2008 is legal and justified?what relief the concerned
workman is entitled to? .”
1. After registering the case on the basis of reference, notices were sent to the parties. Both the parties have
filed their respective statement of claim/defense.
2. The case of the workman as stated in his statement of claim is that he was first appointed in the Bank on
21-11-1983 as a peon. He was promoted in due course. While he was posed as a Head Cashier in the Akodia Mandi
Branch of the Bank. He was issued a charge sheet with allegations of misconduct. He submitted his written reply on
the charge sheet. The Controlling Authority decided to conduct an inquiry. The inquiry was conducted and the
charges were held proved by the Inquiry Officer. He was issued a show cause notice on the basis of Inquiry Report
and after considering his reply, the Disciplinary Authority passed the punishment order on 21-1-2008 dismissing him
from his services. According to the workman, the inquiry conducted was not just and proper . The charges were not
proved from the inquiry report and the punishment was disproportionate to the charge without considering the fact
that his record before the punishment was unblemished.
3. The Management has controverted the allegation with the pleading that the inquiry was conducted in just and
proper manner. The Inquiry Officer rightly held the charges proved and the punishment was not disproportionate to
the charge. Accordingly the management prayed that the reference be answered against the workman, holding the
action of the Management and punishment justified in law.
4. The following issues were framed by my learned Predecessor vide his order dated 18-3-2016:-
1)Whether the inquiry conducted against the workman is just, proper and legal?
2)Whether, the charges alleged against the workman are proved from evidence adduced in
inquiry proceedings.?
3)Whether the punishment of dismissal from service is legal and proper?
4)If not to what relief the workman is entitled to?
5.
ISSUE NO.1:-
Issue No.1 was taken as preliminary issue. The workman examined himself on oath. He was cross-
examined by management. He proved documents Exhibit W1 to W4. The management examined its witness and
proved the documents Exhibit M1 and Exhibit M2 which are inquiry papers mainly.
6.
Preliminary Issue No.1 was decided after evidence vide order dated 6-10-2021. The Departmental Inquiry
was held legal and proper. This order is part of this Award.
7.
Parties were given opportunity for their evidence on remaining issues. No evidence was given by any party
on remaining issues on 6-9-2022. Arguments of learned counsel for workman Shri Arun Patel was heard. None
appeared for the Management at the time of arguments. The management did not file any written argument also. The
workman learned counsel has filed written arguments which has been taken on record. I have gone through the record
and the written argument as well.
8.
ISSUE NO.2:-
The charges against the workman are as follows:-
(1) When he was posted in Branch Okadia Mandi on 14-3-2007, he received from
Account holder Yusuf Khan Rs.61,000/- to deposit in his account no.5511 and
issued receipt counter foil No.7459 under his signature with the seal of the Bank
1078
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
but he did not deposit the amount nor did he made any entry regarding deposit
of the amount in the Account of the Account Holder.
(2) While working in the said branch on 21-3-2007 the Account holder Yusuf Khan
put up a withdrawal form for deposit of Rs.90,000/- from his account 5511 in the
branch, the workman paid the amount without getting it duly passed by the
Authorized Officer just in order to conceal his wrongful Act of not depositing
Rs.61,000/- as mentioned in Charge No.1 in the account of the Account holder.
(3) The workman paid on 21-3-2007 Rs.90,000/- to the Account Holder Yusuf Khan.
He took that amount from the private person Shyam Sundar Agarwal in cash as
loan and paid it to Yusuf Khan. This loan was not returned to Shyam Sundar
Agarwal till 11-4-2007. He made a complaint in this respect to the Bank.
9.
Perusal of the inquiry papers shows that the prosecution produced the counter slip regarding the deposit and
other documents, details mentioned in the report. They have also examined witness MW1 and MW2 who have
supported the charges. From the perusal of these documents, in the light of statement of Management witness
produced in the inquiry, I find no occasion to hold that the finding of the Inquiry Officer, holding the charges proved
is against law or perverse. Hence taking into consideration the finding of the Inquiry Officer that the charges levelled
against the workman are proved. This Issue No.2 is decided accordingly.
10.
ISSUE NO. 3:-
Learned Counsel for the workman has laid his main emphasis on this Issue No.3. According to him the
charges levelled are misconduct in para 5D and 5J of Bi Partite Settlement which is as follows:-
5(d):- Willful damage or attempt to cause damage to the property of the bank or any of its
customers;
5(j) doing any act prejudicial to the interest of the bank or gross negligence or negligence
involving or likely to involve the bank in serious loss.
But they are not covered in these provision but rather they are covered in para 7C, 7D and 7G which is as follows:-
7(c ):- Neglect of work, negligence in performing duties;
7(d):-Breach of any rule of business of the bank or instruction for the running of any
department.
7(g):-Attempt to collect or collecting moneys within the premises of the bank without the
previous permission of the Management or except as allowed by any rule or law for the time
being in force.
11.
Para 7(c ) ,(d),(g) are minor misconduct whereas the workman has been punished treating the charges as
major misconduct. This is unjust on the part of the management. Further the Management did not consider the fact
that the workman was on the verge of retirement. He had put in more than 25 years of service in the bank and his
record was unblemished. In these circumstances, the management was under obligation to consider other
punishments and also to consider as to why the other punishment provided would not have been suitable for the
workman in the case in hand.
12.
It is the duty of a Banker or any employee to maintain obsolete integrity while discharging his duties. Every
employee is expected to follow this Rule. The charges proved against the workman show that by retaining the amount
which was to be deposited with the Bank, he committed an act of moral turpitude also. After comparative study of
para 7 & 5 and considering the nature of the charges, I am not convinced with the argument of learned counsel for the
workman that the charges are only of minor misconduct. Accordingly, the charges are held to be major misconduct.
13.
Following decision are referred to state the settled preposition of law in this respect:-
Hon’ble Apex Court in B.C. Chayurvedi v. Union of India, (1995) 6 SCC 749 while discussing about the scope of
judicial review, in disciplinary matters, has observed as under:
14.
“The High Court/Tribunal, while exercising the power of judicial review, cannot normally substitute
its own conclusion on penalty and impose some other penalty. If the punishment imposed by the disciplinary
authority or the appellate authority shocks the conscience of the High Court/Tribunal, it would appropriately
mold the relief, either directing the disciplinary/appellate authority to reconsider the penalty imposed, or to
shorten the litigation, it may itself, in exceptional and rare cases, imposed appropriate punishment with cogent
reasons in support thereof.”
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1079
In DG, RPF vs. Sai Babu (2003) 4 SCC 331, Hon’ble Apex Court has observed that:
Normally, the punishment imposed by a disciplinary authority should not be
disturbed by the High Court or a tribunal except in appropriate cases that too only after
reaching a conclusion that the punishment imposed is grossly or shockingly disproportionate,
after examining all the relevant factors including the nature of charges proved against, the
past conduct, penalty imposed earlier, the nature of duties assigned having due regard to their
sensitiveness, exactness expected of an discipline required to be maintained, and the
department /establishment which the delinquent person concerned works.”
In United Commercial Bank vs. P.C. Kakkar (2003) 4 SCC 364 Hon’ble Apex Court on review of a long line of
cases and the principles of judicial review of administrative action under English law summarized the legal position in
the following words:
The common thread running through in all these decisions is that the court should
not interfere with the administrators’ decision unless it was illogical or suffers from
procedural impropriety or was shocking to the conscience of the court, in the sense that it was
in defiance of logic or moral standards. In view of what has been stated in Wednesbury case
the court would not go into the correctness of the choice made by the administrator open to
him and the court should not substitute its decision to that of the administrator. The scope of
judicial review is judicial review is limited to the deficiency in decision-making process and
not the decision.
To put it differently, unless the punishment imposed by the disciplinary authority or
the appellate authority shocks the conscience of the court/tribunal, there is no scope for
interference. Further, to shorten litigation it may, in exceptional and rare cases, impose
appropriate punishment by recording cogent reasons in support thereof.”
In Union of India vs. S.S. Ahluwalia (2007) 7 SCC 257 Hon’ble Supreme Court reiterated the legal position as
follows:
“……… The scope of judicial review in the matter of imposition of penalty as a result of
disciplinary proceedings is very limited. The court can interfere with the punishment only if it finds
the same to be shockingly disproportionate to the charges found to be proved.”
In State of Meghalaya v. Mecken Singh N. Marak (2008) 7 SCC 580 Hon’ble Supreme Court stated that:
“The punishment imposed by the disciplinary authority or the appellate authority unless shocking to
the conscience of the court, cannot be subjected to judicial review.
Hon’ble Apex Court in Administrator, Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli vs. Gulbhia M. Lad
(2010) 2 SCC (L&S) 101 has observed that :
“The legal position is fairly well settled that while exercising the power of judicial
review, the High Court or a Tribunal cannot interfere with the discretion exercised by the
disciplinary authority, and/or on appeal the appellate authority with regard to the imposition of
punishment unless such discretion suffers from illegality or material procedural irregularity or
that would shock the conscience of the court/tribunal. The exercise of discretion in imposition of
punishment by the disciplinary authority or appellate authority is dependent on host of factors
such as gravity of misconduct, past conduct, the nature of duties assigned to the delinquent,
responsibility of the position that the delinquent holds, previous penalty, if any, and the discipline
required to be maintained in the department or establishment he works. Ordinarily the court or
the tribunal would not substitute its opinion on reappraisal of facts.
Hon’ble Apex Court in (2011) 1 Supreme Court Cases (L&S) 721 has observed that:
It is now well settled that the courts will not act as an appellate court and reassess the
evidence led in the domestic enquiry, nor interfere on the ground that another view is possible on
the material on record. If the inquiry has been fairly and properly held and the findings are based
on evidence, the question of adequacy of the evidence or the reliable nature of the evidence will not
be grounds for interfering with the findings in departmental enquiries. Therefore, the courts will
not interfere with findings of fact recorded in departmental inquiries, except where such findings
are based on no evidence or where they are clearly perverse. The test to find out perversity is to
see whether a tribunal acting reasonably could have arrived at such conclusion or findings, on the
material on record. The courts will however interfere with the findings in disciplinary matters, if
1080
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
principles of natural justice or statutory regulations have been violated or if the order is found to
be arbitrary, capricious, mala fide or based on extraneous considerations.
15.
It is established preposition of law that this Tribunal will not interfere with the punishment awarded until it is
satisfied that the punishment so awarded is not shockingly disproportionate to the charge to warrant interference by
this Tribunal.
16.
The punishment awarded in the case in hand is one of the punishment mentioned in the Bi Partite Settlement
for acts of gross misconduct. The punishment order and order of Appeal does not whisper as to why the Authority did
not consider other punishment for the workman in the light of the fact that before that he had spent more than 25 years
of unblemished service with the management. True that the management could award the maximum punishment of
dismissal of service but when other options are available to the Management with respect to the charges, it is under
obligation to consider why the other options regarding punishment would not be fit in the case in hand and why only
dismissal be the appropriate punishment and by not doing the Management is not justified in maximum punishment
of dismissal for one lapse on the part of the workman who spent more than 25 years of unblemished service time with
the Management.
17.
Accordingly the punishment of dismissal awarded by the Management to the workman is held justified in
law and the workmen is awarded punishment of compulsory retirement from service from the date of punishment
order passed by the Disciplinary Authority. Issue No.3 is answered accordingly.
18.
ISSUE NO.4:-
In the light of the findings recorded above the Issue No.4 is answered accordingly.
19.
On the basis of the above discussion, following award is passed:-
A.The action of the management of Central Bank of India in
Khanvilkar, Ex-Head Cashier vide order dated 21/1/2008 is held not justified.
B. The workman is awarded punishment of compulsory retirement from service from date 21-
1-2008. He is also held entitled to admissible benefits in case of compulsory retirement given
to the workman as per rules.
C.P arties to bear their own cost.
20.
Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment as per
rules.

The Government of India, Ministry of Labour, in exercise of the powers conferred on them under
Sec.10(1)(d) of the I.D. Act.,1947 has referred the following dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication vide their Order
No. L-12012/79/2014-IR (B-I)) dt. 17.02.2015
SCHEDULE
“Whether the action of the management of BOB to terminate the service of workman Sri
Ram Niwas was correct and valid? What relief the workman was entitled for?”
On receipt of the Order No. L-12012/79/2014 --IR (B-II) dated 17.02.2015 of the reference from the Government
of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, it was registered as Reference
case No. 13 of 2015 and accordingly an order to that effect was passed to issue notices through the Registered Post to
the parties concerned, directing them to appear before the Tribunal on 29.04.2015 date fixed and to file their written
statements along with the relevant documents. In pursuance of the said order, notices by the Registered Post were sent
to the parties concerned.
2. On registration of the Reference on 09.03.2015, the case started in motion for proceeding with both contending
under Reference filed Written Statement of claim /rejoinder. The case started rolling out for proceeding. Advancing
towards merit on completion of claim /counter claim with rejoinders by both sides the proceeding moved up to subject
matter to fix evidence for workman. Finally with written arguments by both the rival parties the matter appears to
have been reserved for answering the Reference in Award.
3. The brief facts of the case as per the pleading made in the Written Statement by the petitioner are required to be
enumerated which reads as hereunder:
i)
That the petitioner namely Ram Niwas S/o Late Suresh Prasad, of village: Sultanpur, PO: Kanhaipur, Distt:
Patna was appointed by the Management of Bank of Baroda against the permanent vacancy to discharge the
duties of a peon w.e.f. 01.10.1993.
ii) That the workman concerned even after rendering his service as Peon to the satisfaction of the
management as permanent employee but the Management just to deprive him from his legitimate right,
showing him temporary workman and paying him less wages.
iii) That in the mean time the Management had drawn panel of temporary workmen who performed the duties
of a peon/canteen boy for permanent absorption as a peon and his name was placed on Serial No. 17 of the
said list.
iv) That the OP/Management regularized the services of some barring few including the name of the workman.
v) When he approached the OP/Management with a demand for regularization of his service in accordance
with aforesaid Circular the OP/Management illegally terminated his services w.e.f 03.12.1996 without
giving notice or notice of pay in payment of retrenchment compensation under provision of Sec. 25 –F of
the Industrial Dispute Act., 1947.
vi) That being aggrieved by the action of the OP/Management the workman raised as Industrial Dispute against
his illegal retrenchment before the Asstt. Labour commissioner ( C ) Patna and upon failure in conciliation
culminated as Reference as Industrial Dispute referred by the Government of India.
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1085
vii) As before termination the OP/Management neither issued any notice or paid him notice pay in lieu of notice
nor did follow the statutory provision of Sec. 25- F of the Industrial Dispute Act., 1947 contrary to the fact
the workman had completed 240 days attendance in each and every year preceding 12 months from the date
of retrenchment .i.e. 31.12.1996.
viii) So the action of the Management in not regularizing the services of the workman concerned is not only
discriminatory and arbitrary rather unjustified and against the principle of natural justice.
4. The OP/ Management contested the case by filing written statement denying the case as well as the allegation of
the Petitioner
i)
The workman namely Ram Niwas on being engaged as Casual /Temporary basis for a period 237 days from
April 1993 to Sept.,1995 intermittently at Mokama Branch neither against any clear vacant post nor
authorized/Sanctioned by the competent authority and even without following rules of engagement for
temporary employees including call for Sponsoring Employment Exchange .Hence his engagement was
illegal. And his appointment letter was not issued and nor he has any locus standi to stake claim for
regularization as per rules/norms
ii) His appointment has been projected as Stop Gap arrangement in order to justified exigencies by the Branch
Manager, Mokama and presently he is not working in the Bank.
iii) Mokama Branch only engaged him for passing contingencies of work intermittently on day to day basis
with starting his duty from morning and ended with the completion of the work for which he was engaged
,so question of issuance of appointment letter does not arise nor subsequent reinstatement in the Bank
iv) That no relationship exists between the employer and workmen and the person who is posing himself to be
called workman.
v) That the workman concerned is not all workman as defined in Sec. 2(S) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
vi) That appointment of Sub-staff in Banks is governed by laid down statutory rules and guidelines, as received
from Government of India from time to time.
vii) That in terms of the laid down rules/directions received from Government of India, employment of persons
in Subordinate Cadre in the Bank’s service has to be made through the medium of employment Exchange in
addition to advertisement in local newspaper where the vacancy arise.
viii) That the Bank has laid down eligibility criteria for appointment in Sub-Staff Cadre which specifies minimum
and maximum age limit, educational qualification etc, of the candidates.
ix) That Bank is a “State” under Article 12 of the Constitution of India. Further, appointment on the Bank is
governed by certain statutory rules and guidelines received room the Government from time to time. In terms
of the directions issued by the Central Government, employment of persons in sub-staff cadre should be done
through Employment Exchange as also by advertisement for the post in the area where the vacancy is
declared. In so far as the workman concerned he was never sponsored by the Employment Exchange and on
this ground his claim seeking employment in the Banks to be rejected.
x) That ,any claim for regularization is dependent upon the fulfillment of the eligibility criteria laid down by the
Bank viz, their Sponsoring ship through employment Exchange etc and most importantly their engagement
should be against sanctioned vacancy duly authorized by the Competent Authority .
xi) As the Bank is a State under Article 12 of the Constitution of India having certain statutory rules and
guidelines so received from the Government from time to time .As regard appointment of sub staff in Banks
is governed by laid down statutory rules and guidelines as received from Government of India from time to
time
5. In its rejoinder the OP/management emphatically denies all the point wise claims on the issues raised by the
workman with reiteration that the claim of the petitioner is baseless frivolous and is not tenable having no merit at
all. In essence service to the workman will amount to backdoor entry in the Bank which is a Public Sector
Undertaking and any such entry will go against the fundamental rights of the Citizen and will violate the right to
equal opportunity in public service ,legal pronouncement and law of the land laid down by the Apex Court .
6. Through the evidence the workman recorded on affidavit and he reaffirmed to have been appointed by the
Management of Bank of Baroda against the permanent vacancy to discharge the duties of Peon with working hours
from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and sometimes even beyond the scheduled time in exigency. The Zonal Office issued a
communicated for preparation of list of workmen who have completed 90 days attendance in preceding 29.02.1996
.But to his dismay the Management regularized services of some workmen from above list but did not care for
1086
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
others. But after completion of due process his name had been left out .When the workman approached several time
for regularization of his services in accordance with aforesaid circular, the Management illegally terminated his
services w.e.f. 03.12.1996 without granting him any hearing or payment of retrenchment compensation. Over the
engagement of workman for passing contingencies of work intermittently on day to day basis cannot challenge and or
deny
7. The workman submitted list of documents with copies thereof through Affidavit:
I) List of the Circular marked as Annexure -1 issued by Bihar State Bank of Baroda Employees Association for
regularization of their services. Marking as Annexure 1 and seeking data of temporary workmen as on
29.02.1996 marking as A-1.
ii) List of the workmen drawing out a panel of temporary workmen showing the workman’s name in Sl. No.
17 marking as Annexure 2
iii) Letter from Senior Manger,(P), Bank of Baroda for sending factual position of the workmen who have
completed 90 days attendance marking as Annexure -3
iv) Letter of the Sr. Branch Manager about workman’s attendance for the period from 12.04.1993 to
30.09.1995 as Annexure -4
v) Copy of the CPIO of Bank of Baroda with regard to reply of the workman’s quarry marking as Annexure -
5
8. Emphasing heavily upon the Apex Court Judgments OP/Management filed documents in their defence which
are as hereunder:
a) Photocopy of Judgment in Civil AppealNo.3595-2 3612 of 1999.The Secretary State of Karnataka &
Others Vs. Uma Devi (3) & Other,reported in SC-2006 (L&S) 753- supreme Court of India.
b) Internet copy of judgment in Case No. Appeal (Civil) -2195 of 2007-Hindustran Aermaitocs Ltd/ Vs.
Dam Bahadur Sg & Others reported in SCC-2007( 6)7,Supreme Court of India.
c) Internet copy of judgment in Civil Appeal No. 7392 of 2014- State of Bihar & Others Vs. Chandreshwar
Pathak, reported in SCC-2014 (13)232 Supreme Court of India,
d) Photocopy of judgment in L.P.A. Case No. 248 of 2014-Suman Devi Vs. State of Jharkhand 2016(i)-JLJR
Jharkhand High Court.
e) Photocopy of judgment in L.P.A. Case No. 268 of 2012 Bipin Kumar Verma Vs. Uco Bank, Dhanbad
of Jharkhand High Court Ranchi
f)
Photocopy of Tripartite Settlement dated 18.03.2008 between Bank of Baroda and All India Bank of
Baroda Employees Federation (recognized union)
9. Going by the evidence so submitted through Affidavit in writing by the workman side it states in Annexure -4 dt.
24.02.2019 showing total days of attendance rendered service to the Bank commencing from 12.04.1993 to
30.09.1995 taking into the base period April,1993 to Sept.,1995 preceding to his alleged termination , the data
shows to the total 237 number of days that the workman worked notably less than 240 days as claimed by the
workman in written submission of claim by the workman and also mandatory for getting coverage/protection under
Sec. 25- F of the Industrial Dispute Act., 1947.The Attendance Statement Sheet was under seal and signature of the
OP/Bank Authority with countersigned by the workman thereon.
10. As per the written statement of claim and the documents filed by the workman vis a vis the evidence on affidavit
submitted by the workman himself before this Tribunal dated 24.04.2019 following discrepencies are found:-
i) In Written statement he had mentioned at point 12 that he has completed 240 days each and every year of
working in the Bank , whereas the documents filed by him and affirmed through affidavit in para 7
mentioning the documents as Annexure -4 has total number of days worked reflect only 237 days.
ii) In the written statement in at the same point No. 12 he has mentioned that he has worked for more than
240 days in preceding 12 months period from the date of his retrenchment ,i.e., 31.12.1996 whereas
through the documents filed by him at Annexure -4 as referred in para -7 of the Affidavit of the Workman
his total number of days worked during the 12 preceding months from the date of his retrenchment comes
to 106 days only.
As such his both the claims of working more than 240 days in each year of his working and that he has
worked more than 240 days in the preceding 12 months from the date of his retrenchment is not true as
per the above findings.
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1087
11. As regards the example of other having been appointed on regular basis by the same Bank cannot be considered
as reference in the instant Industrial Dispute is limited to the case of the concerned workman and not for others.
12. On consideration of the facts put forward by the workman himself through the documents filed by him and
evidences through affidavit he has not been able to substantiate his claim .On perusal of the record and documents
field by the workman himself there is no evidence of issue any appointment letter or termination letter from the
O.P./management .As such it can be established through the evidence that the workman Sri Ram Niwas has been
terminated from service of the management of Bank of Baroda.
13. However, on the face of record made available before this Tribunal it is beyond doubt that the workman Shri
Ram Niwas has worked under Bank of Baroda on various dates engaged during the period 12.04.1993 to 30.091995
on intermittent basis and that he has not been removed from the service of his engagement through notice or order. As
such the management of Bank of Baroda has failed in its duty in practicing the fair labour policy . As such the
workman is entitled for compensation under Sec. 25 F of the Industrial Dispute Act., 1947.
14. As the workman has worked with the OP/management intermittently it will not be prudent and proper to award
any compensation based on number of years worked and equivalent to the wages as the matter is very old and more
than twenty five years have elapsed from his last engagement by the Bank and the fact that payments of wages
were very meager, and that the workman has been fighting his case for many years, this Tribunal is of the opinion of
awarding some lump sum compensation to the workman. Therefore compensation of Rs. 1,00,000/- (Rupees One
Lakh) only is awarded as compensation under the provisions of Sec. 25- F of the Industrial Dispute Act., 1947 to
meet the expenses incurred by him in raising and fighting his case for such a long period.
15. The compensation must be paid to the workman concerned by the Management of Bank of Baroda within
three months from the date of issuance of Notification of this Award,

Dated :

AWARD
1.
Instant application is filed by Kapildeo Jha under section 33 (C) (2) of the Industrial Dispute Act, praying for
payment of difference of wages from 14/04/1998 till date of filing of application.
2.
Mr. Rakesh Kumar representing Kapildeo Jha is present. Case is fixed up today for production of documents
and final disposal. Mr. Apurba Biswas, Manager (Personnel), Bhanora-Gir Group of Mines has produced a
calculation sheet detailing difference of wages payable from April 1998 to March 2000. Mr. A. Biswas is examined as
MW-I. Document filed is marked as Exhibit M-I. Witness is cross-examined and discharged. Evidence is closed.
3.
Heard argument advanced by Mr. P. K. Das, learned advocate for ECL and Mr. Rakesh Kumar. It appears that
Kapildeo Jha who was converted from General Mazdoor to Pit Clerk filed an application u/s 33(C)(2) of Industrial
Dispute Act, 1947 claiming that the Management has not paid difference of wages he is supposed to receive from the
company for the period from 14/04/1998 till date of filing of application. The petitioner has further stated that he is
entitled to get Rupees Three Lakh (Rs. 3,00,000/-) approximately as difference of wages.
4.
Written statement has been filed by the Management of ECL denying the claim of the workman. It is contended
that no legal right accrued in favour of the workman due to want of appropriate order by the competent authority. The
workman has been examined as WW-I. He was recross-examined on recall on 21/11/2022. In recross-examination the
witness has stated that he served as Pit Clerk from 1997 to 2016. Since 2016 the post of Pit Clerk was abolished and
he was posted as Magazine Clerk. I find that this contention has been made for the first time in evidence as there is no
averment by the petitioner in the written statement that he served as Pit Clerk till 2016.
5
In course of time, Mr .A. Biswas (MW-I) has been examined as the Management Witness and he produced a
calculation sheet showing the difference of wages from April 1998 to March 2000 amounting to Rs. 23,892.12/-.
Document in two pages have been marked as Exhibit M-I. On perusal of the document, I find the workman has
accepted the calculation up to March 2000.
6. In cases filed u/s 33(C)(2) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 the workman is entitled to make claims of
ascertained sum payable to him but in the present application the workman has made vague claim and such
application is not maintainable in the eye of law. Furthermore, the application has not been made within one year
from the date on which the money became due to the workman.
7.
Mr. P. K. Das, learned advocate for the ECL Management argued that the present application is a regular
Industrial Dispute and it has been filed in guise of an L. C. Application.
8.
I have no hesitation that the workman and the Management have agreed upon the calculations made in favour of
Mr. Kapildeo Jha from April 1998 to March 2000. The L. C. Application filed is disposed of in terms of the
settlement arrived at. The prayer of the petitioner workman is allowed in part. Let an Award be drawn up in favour of
the workman directing the Management of Bhanora West Block Colliery to pay the difference of wages amounting to
Rs. 23,892.12/- in favour of the workman within one month from the date of Notification.
Hence,
ORDER
The application filed by the workman u/s 33(C)(2) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 is allowed in part in
favour of the workman. Let the calculation sheet dated 28/01/2023 (Exhibit M-I) be treated as a part of Award. Let
copies of Award be sent to the Ministry of Labour u/s 33(C)(4) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 for information.

Accordingly, an industrial dispute No. 99/2021 has been registered on 21.10.2021.
Shri Prateek Tiwari, learned counsel/representative appearing on behalf of the respondent submits that as a
matter of fact from the perusal of record, the admitted position which emerges, till date statement of claim has not

1094
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
Findings & Conclusion:
After hearing the learned counsel and taking into consideration the fact that till date no statement of claim has been
filed by the claimant in order to establish his claim as per the reference dated 04.10.2021.
And by order dated 03.10.2022, last opportunity was given to the claimant to file statement of claim, the same has not
been filed.
So in view of the said facts, as well as the law laid by the Hon’ble High Court in the case of V. K. Raj Industries v.
Labour Court (I) and others 1981 (29) FLR 194 as under:
“It is well settled that if a party challenges the legality of an order, the burden lies upon him to prove
illegality of the order and if no evidence is produced the party invoking jurisdiction of the Court must fail.
Whenever a workman raises a dispute challenging the validity of the termination of service if is imperative
for him to file written statement before the Industrial Court setting out grounds on which the order is
challenged and he must also produce evidence to prove his case. If the workman fails to appear or to file
written statement or produce evidence, the dispute referred by the State Government cannot be answered in
favour of the workman and he would not be entitled to any relief.”
In the case of M/s Uptron Powertronics Employees’ Union, Ghaziabad through its Secretary v. Presiding Officer,
Labour Court (II), Ghaziabad and others 2008 (118) FLR 1164 Hon’ble Allahabad High Court has held as under:
“The law has been settled by the Apex Court in case of Shanker Chakravarti v. Britannia Biscuit Co. Ltd.,
V.K. Raj Industries v. Labour Court and Ors., Airtech Private Limited v. State of U.P. and Ors. 1984 (49)
FLR 38 and Meritech India Ltd. v. State of U.P. and Ors. 1996 FLR that in the absence of any evidence led
by or on behalf of the workman the reference is bound to be answered by the court against the workman. In
such a situation it is not necessary for the employers to lead any evidence at all. The obligation to lead
evidence to establish an allegation made by a party is on the party making the allegation. The test would be,
who would fail if no evidence is led.”
And by the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in the case of District Administrative Committee, U.P. P.A.C.C.S.C.
Services v. Secretary-cum-G.M. District Co-operative Bank Ltd. 2010 (126) FLR 519; wherein it has been held as
under:
“The submission is that even if the petitioner failed to lead the evidence, burden was on the shoulders of the
respondent to prove the termination order as illegal. He was required to lead evidence first which he failed.
A perusal of the impugned award also does not show that any evidence either oral or documentary was led
by the respondent. In the case of no evidence, the reference has to be dismissed.”
As the workman has not filed any statement of claim/oral/documentary evidence, so the present case is liable
to be dismissed.
For the foregoing reasons, the case is dismissed and; and the workman is not entitled for any relief.
Award as above.

AWARD
This is a reference case u/s 10(1)(d) of the Industrial Dispute Act referred by Ministry of Labour, Govt. of
India vide Order No.L-12011/42/2015-IR(B-II) dated 03-08-2015 for determination of the following issue :-
“Whether the action of the management of Canara Bank is justified by transferring Sri Uday
Chandra
Ghosh,
President
of
the
Union
without
following
guidelines
of
Posting
&Transfer/Placement for Officers is legal and/or justified? If not, what relief the workmen are
entitled to?
The Record shows, neither the Union who has espoused the cause of Sri Uday Chandra Ghosh, who appears
to be an Officer of Canara Bank or the said employee Sri Uday Chandra Ghosh has failed to take any interest in
prosecuting with the present proceeding after 10-09-2018 and they have failed to appear before this Tribunal since
10-09-2018.
The documents which have been filed by the Management this day shows the incumbent was an Agricultural
Extension Officer. So, question arises whether an Officer of the bank can claim to be a workman as defined in section
2(S) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947?
Be that as it may, it is a matter of common knowledge that Job of every officer of a nationalized bank is
transferrable job and they can be transferred from one branch to any other branch situate in any place of India.
Therefore, this Tribunal holds that the dispute which has been raised by the Union on behalf of Sri Uday
Chandra Ghosh, its President challenging his transfer from the branch where he was posted to another branch which
might not had been a posting of his convenience appears to be a frivolous cause and such cause cannot be termed as
an Industrial Dispute.

Further, the documents that have been filed by the Management this day shows the concerned employee has
already retried from his service on 31-12-2019 on superannuation. Therefore, at this stage the dispute under reference
becomes redundant.
Thus, Reference Case No. 51 of 2015 is dismissed without any cost. Award is passed accordingly.
Send copy of this award to the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour for doing needful as per law.

AWARD
The facts as gathered from the materials on record in gist is that the applicant was appointed in the post of
Junior Officer in ICICI Bank, a Non Nationalised Bank by issuing an offer letter dated 25-09-2010. His appointment
was subjected to terms and conditions as mentioned in the said appointment letter at a monthly salary of Rs.15,412/-.
He was allotted Employee Code No.211687.
It has been alleged by the concerned employee that by issuing a letter dated 17-07-2013, he has been
informed that his service was no longer required and directed him not to attend office w.e.f. 18-07-2013. He further
alleged that he was terminated from the service by his employer without any rhyme and reason and without following
1098
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
the procedural norms for termination of an employee in a private bank. That in order to terminate the service of an
employee there has to be some kind of charges against him. The employee should have been given an opportunity of
being heard against the charge but without adhering to the principle of natural justice he was illegally terminated from
the service after serving the employer for three years. Therefore, he has prayed for his reinstatement with full back
wages and with consequential relief.
The record shows initially the employer ICICI Bank was contesting the caseby filing a Written Statement
along with documents and where it has alleged that the service of the employee is liable to be terminated at any time
during his service tenure, in the event of any breach of rules and regulations of the bank as applicable to the
employee during the course of his employment and for misconduct.
That the concerned employee in the course of his duty had opened an A/c. in the name of one Sri Vikash
Ranjan Verma, without following the mandatory process which are required to be followed for the purpose of opening
an account which includes visiting and verifying the communication address of the prospective customer to ensure
proper identity of such prospective customer and rule out possibility of any future and consequent misuse of such
bank account if opened.
The customer Vikash Ranjan Varma, whose account was opened by the concerned workman had deposited a
cheque No.632949 amounting to Rs.2,75,961/- drawn on State Bank of India and which was credited on July 18,2012.
The said customer withdrew the entire amount through various ATMs. Subsequently, it was informed by the State
Bank of India, the cheque no.632949 deposited by Vikash Ranjan Varma was a fraudulent instrument.
On causing enquiry it was found that Vikash Ranjan Verma was not a resident of the address provided in his
Bank A/c. opening application and he was not contactable on the phone number given in the bank record. On causing
internal enquiry it was detected Vikash Ranjan Verma could commit such fraud with the bank due to irresponsible
and negligent conduct on the part of the concerned employee. Due to such incident the bank had not only suffered
financial loss but also lost its reputation.
During internal inquiry the concerned workman in writing admitted the facts that he never visited the
customer’s communication address which he claimed to have verified along with the original documents submitted by
the customer at the time of opening of the A/c.
Considering such misconduct on the part of the employee the bank terminated his service by issuing a letter
dated 3rd July,2013 along with a banker’s cheque for Rs.40,100/- equivalent to three months salary in lieu of three
months notice as per employment terms applicable to him. The termination letter with the cheque were handed over to
the employee personally on 17th July, 2013 in presence of the Cluster Manager and Regional Head Sales of ICCI
Bank, but he refused to accept the same and as such the same were sent to him through Registered Post on 24th July,
2013,. The cheque was duly encashed by him on September 20, 2013 without any protest. Therefore, the bank has
prayed for dismissal of the application under 2A sub section 2 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1047.
However, at the time of final hearing the management failed to appear and contest the case. Thus present
case has been proceeded as per rule 22 of Industrial Dispute (Central) Rules, 1957.
The concerned employee as Witness No.1 has filed documents namely his appointment letter dated 25-09-
2010, the terms and conditions of his service including his pay structure, joining formalities with his pay statement,
copy of letter dated 20-07-2013 written by him to Recruitment Service Group, HRMG, ICICI Bank Ltd., copy of
postal receipt, copy of another letter dated 07-08-2013 addressed to the Manager, ICICI Bank, Calcutta along with
copy of postal receipt, copy of letter dated 14-09-2013 to HRMG Recruitment Service Group, ICICI Bank Ltd.,
Mumbai along with copy of postal receipt, copy of letter addressed to ALC, Govt. of India dated 19-03-2014, copy of
letter to Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner dated 28-08-2013, Xerox copy of his termination letter dated 3rd July,
2013 and certificate issued by ALOC, Central Calcutta under section 2A of the Industrial Dispute Act dated 06-08-
2014 and which have been marked as Exhibit 1,2,3, 4,m 4A, 5, 5A, 6,6A, 7,8,9 and 10 respectively,.
The only question that requires determination in the present case is whether termination of the concerned
Junior Officer and whose monthly salary is more than Rs15,000/- in 2013 is legal and valid?
The appointment letter prima facie proves that the present applicant employee was appointed in the post of
Junior Officer but his appointment letter is totally silent about the nature of job he had to discharge as a Junior Officer
of the employer bank. From the very facts that the concerned employee was assigned with the duty of opening of new
Bank Accounts by the prospective customers it can be inferred that he used to discharge the function as that of a
Clerk, though being a Junior Officer.
Be that as it may, that Exhibit-2 shows that the concerned employee joined the service of the ICICI Bank as a
Junior Officer accepting the terms and conditions as stipulated in Exhibit-2. Exhibit-2 contains ground on which the
service of the concerned employee was subject to termination. It provides that service of the concerned employee was
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1099
liable to be terminated at any time even after confirmation in the event of (1) any breach of the conditions mentioned
in the letter of terms and condition and (2) any breach of the rules and regulation of the bank as applicable, but subject
to 90 days notice or on payment of 90 days gross salary in lieu of notice period.
It is true that bank has failed to adduce any evidence in support of its contention made in the Written
Statement, but the document Annexure-C dated 01.09.2012 that was filed by the bank prima facie shows the
concerned employee in writing had admitted that while opening Bank Account of a customer named Vikash Ranjan
Verma, by him he had only verified the documents filed by the said customer named Vikash Ranjan Verma and
processed the account opening form without visiting the communication address of the said customer.
It is the case of the management that due to such irresponsible and negligent conduct on the part of the
employee said Vikash Ranjan Verma could defraud the bank by depositing a cheque obtained fraudulently and
manage to encash the fraudulently obtained cheque of Rs.2,75,961/- drawn on State Bank of India and withdrawing
the entire amount immediately through different ATMs. Later on conducting internal enquiry it was detected that
Vikash Ranjan Verma was not found in the address given in his application form or he was unable to contact on the
phone number provided to the bank.
In view of Annexure C filed by the Bank, it cannot be ruled out that a fraudster could open an account with
the Bank just because of the concerned employee’s negligent or irresponsible conduct and who managed to defraud
the bank by en-cashing a fraudulently obtained cheque of SBI. Had this concerned employee was sincere in
discharging his duty and had properly verified the identity and the address of the said customer then employer bank
would not have suffered a financial loss as well its creditability. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out the indulgence of
this employee’s in the alleged incident.
The Annexure-D filed by the bank further goes to show the concerned employee was given a cheque of
Rs.42,100/- in lieu of three month notice on the day he was handed over termination letter on 03.07.2013 and which
was duly credited in his account on 20-09-2013. Such very facts also shows that employee had accepted his
termination letter and as such he had decided to encash the cheque of Rs.42,100/- which was given to him in lieu of
three months notice as per the terms and conditions of his service and which he had accepted while joining the job.
However, following decisions have been referred on behalf of the concerned workman :-
1.
H.D.Singh –vs – Reserve Bank of India, reported in 1985 LAB, L.C.1733.
2.
Madhya Pradesh Bank Karmachari Sangha –vs- Syndicate Bank & Anrs., reported in 1996 LAB
L.C. 1161.
3.
State Bank of India –vs- N. Sundarmaney, passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court in C.A. No. 933 & 934
of 1975 on 16-01-1976.
4.
D.K. Yadav – vs- M/s. J.M.A.Industries Ltd. passed by Hon’ble Supreme Court in C.A. No. 166 (NL)
of 1983 on 07-05-1993.
5.
Bank of Baroda –vs- Ghemrabhai Harjibhai Kabari, reported in 2005 (ii) CLR 279.
6.
Deepali Gundu Surwase –vs- Kranti Junion Adhyapak Mahavidyalay & Ors., reported in 2013, LAB
IC. 4249.
From the above cited decisions it appears an employee cannot be terminated without being heard, without
charge being framed against him or any department proceeding drawn against him.
In the present case the Annexure –C as discussed above prima facie shows that there was an internal enquiry
about fraud being committed by a customer named Vikash Ranjan Verma and whose account was opened by the
present employee. It appears that Vikash Ranjan Verma had opened an account with the ICICI Bank, in the branch
where this employee was posted only for the purpose of getting the cheque of S.B.I. which he had fraudulently
obtained encashed and managed to withdraw the entire amount within few days of encashment or clearance through
different ATMs. The concerned employee by signing Annexure –C has admitted his fault of opening of the Account
without physically verifying the address of the customer.
A question may arises, is it necessary for a bank employee to personally verify the address of the customer?
It is a matter of common knowledge that in order to open a bank account the customer has to file address
proof document such as Aadhar Card, Voter I.D. Card and PAN Cards and without those documents it is not possible
to open an account with the bank. Further, a new customer has to be identified by an existing customer of the bank.
In the present case it appears there was no due compliance of the above formalies for opening of a new Bank
Account by the present employee while he opened an account of a fraudster named Viaksh Ranjan Verma as bank
1100
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
was unable to trace the said fraudster after the fraud being committed by him in the address provided in his
application.
That apart, when there is written admission of negligence and irresponsibility from the side of the employee,
this Tribunal holds that there is no need to frame charge or cause a disciplinary proceeding against the admitted
negligence or misconduct.
In view of the aforesaid discussion and considering the facts and circumstances of the case it appears the
employer bank has terminated the service of the concerned employee after conducting internal enquiry for his
negligent and irresponsible conduct for which the bank’s credibility was put in stake and had also suffered financial
loss.
Annexure-D shows that the concerned employee was paid three months salary in lieu of notice period and
which he had accepted. Thus, this Tribunal holds that there was due compliance of section 25F of the I.D.Act and the
concerned employee being retrenched as per the terms and conditions of his service stipulated in his appointment
letter.
Therefore, this Tribunal does not find any illegality in the termination of the service of the concerned
employee/ the applicant/petitioner by the employer ICCI Bank and do not find any reason to interfere with the
decision taken by the employer. There is no merit in the present case u/s 2A of the Industrial Dispute Act 1947 and
same is dismissed.
Accordingly, CGIT case no.01/2014 is dismissed, but without any cost.
Award is passed accordingly.

AWARD
(Dated : 22nd February, 2023)
This is a reference made by Ministry of Labour, Government of India, New Delhi by its order dated
23.11.2022 for deciding the legality and justification of imposing the punishment of compulsory retirement from
service with superannuation benefits on Shri. Manikrao Bassappa Kamble with effect from 09.11.2019.
Facts of the case of Second Party :
2. It is the case of the Second Party that it was working with First Party since 02.02.1983. The First Party is a
nationalized bank engaged in the business of banking. The Second Party was illegally terminated from service on
09.11.2019 by imposing punishment of compulsory retirement from service. At the time of termination, the Second
Party was working as Head Cashier-II at Atpadi Branch.
3.
The Second Party contended that First Party issued charge-sheet dated 19.09.2009 to Second Party, to which
the Second Party submitted its reply dated 13.03.2009. Mr. A.R. Kadam, the Chief Manager of First Party was
appointed as Inquiry Officer. The Second Party has participated in inquiry with his representative Mr. A.B. Vartak.
The First Party examined four witnesses and the Second Party examined two witnesses. Thereafter, Second Party
submitted defence statement. The inquiry was concluded on 05.05.2009. The said inquiry was not legal, fair and
proper and not held as per the principles of natural justice. The findings of the Inquiry Officer was provided to the
Second Party vide letter dated 26.06.2009. The findings were totally erroneous. The Inquiry Officer had not
considered the evidence of the Second Party and gave its findings to please the management of the First Party. The
Second Party accordingly gave letter dated 06.07.2009 to the First Party. However, without considering the same the
First Party issued show cause notice dated 21.10.2009 to which the Second Party submitted his reply dated
03.11.2009. The Second Party without considering the same issued punishment order dated 09.11.2009 imposing the
punishment of compulsory retirement from service. The Second Party contended that the charge-sheet issued was
false and illegal, and the punishment issued on the basis of findings of Inquiry Officer are disproportionate. The
Second Party is unemployed since the date of termination. It is prayed that Second Party be reinstated in service with
continuity of service and full back wages from the date of termination till actual date of reinstatement.
Facts of the case of the First Party :
4.
The First Party filed its written statement at Exh.C-6 and denied all the contentions of the Second Party. It
contended that the First Party while working as Head Cashier-II in branch of Atpadi made payment against bearer
cheque no. 7880 of CC A/c No. 70 maintained in the name of M/s. Maharaja Krishi Bhandar of Rs. 50,000/- on
20.02.2008. The record shows that the actual payment made to the customer was Rs. 50,000/-. However, the Second
Party inserted amount of Rs. 70,000/- in the system thereby debited an extra amount of Rs. 20,000/- from the account
of customer. The Second Party did not report any excess cash on that day. Mr. A.V. Mane, Proprietor of M/s.
Maharaja Krishi Bhandar visited the bank and inquired about its transaction on 25.02.2008 and at that time, the First
Party came to know about the aforesaid facts. After verifying the cheque wrongly posted as Rs. 70,000/- instead of
Rs. 50,000/- and after verifying all the cash receipts/payment vouchers of 20.02.2008, the Second Party admitted his
mistake and agreed to make good the loss from his own pocket. But, by keeping the customer waiting for 41 days the
Second Party ultimately returned the amount on 08.04.2008. Thus, it is clear that the Second Party has got excess
cash of Rs. 20,000/- on 20.02.2008 itself, but he has deliberately not brought it to the notice of the branch officials
and misappropriated the amount.
5.
The First Party contended that Mr. M.R. Gosavi, Senior Manager done investigation in said matter and
submitted his report dated 11.04.2008. In his report, he has categorically mentioned that the Second Party got excess
cash on 20.02.2008 itself and intentionally kept the same with himself and returned the same when the matter came to
light. He proposed departmental inquiry against the Second Party. Accordingly, the Vigilance Department of the First
Party gave instruction to initiate disciplinary action against Second Party. Then, the charge-sheet dated 19.02.2009
was served to the Second Party on 26.02.2009. Mr. A.R. Kadam, Chief Manager of Karad branch was appointed as
Inquiry Officer. The preliminary hearing was held on 13.03.2009 and regular hearings were held on 25.03.2009 and
05.05.2009. After completion of inquiry, the Inquiry Officer submitted his findings dated 24.06.2009 and he
observed that the charges levelled against the Second Party are proved. On the basis of findings of Inquiry officer, the
Vigilance Department vide letter dated 22.08.2009 directed that the punishment of compulsory retirement with
1102
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
superannuation benefits be imposed on the Second Party. Accordingly, show cause notice dated 21.10.2009 was
issued to the Second Party and he was offered personal hearing on 03.11.2009 to show cause as to why the proposed
punishment should not be imposed on it. The disciplinary authority after hearing Second Party and after considering
all points, imposed punishment of compulsory retirement from service with superannuation benefits vide order dated
09.11.2009. The Second Party preferred appeal against said order which was dismissed by Zonal Manager vide order
dated 04.03.2010 and confirmed the order of punishment imposed on Second Party.
6.
The First Party contended that during departmental inquiry the Second Party was provided an opportunity of
adducing evidence and the said inquiry was held as per the guidelines laid down in bipartite settlement dated
10.04.2002. The Inquiry Officer followed all the laid down procedure prescribed under disciplinary action for gross
misconduct as stated in Memorandum of Settlement dated 10.04.2002 on disciplinary action and procedure. The
Inquiry Officer also followed the principles of natural justice and on the basis of documentary evidence came to the
conclusion that charge of misappropriation of excess cash of Rs. 20,000/- was proved. The punishment of Second
Party has been decided based on documentary as well as oral evidence. Lastly, it is prayed that the statement of
claim may be rejected.
7.

REASONS
8.
In the instant case, after filing of reference, both the parties appeared. The statement of claim was filed by
the Second Party on 16.6.2015 and the First Party filed written statement on 3.9.2018. The issues were framed on
2.11.2018 at Exh. O-7. My learned predecessor vide order dated 21.02.2022 below Exh. C-9 recasted the issues and
held that the Issue Nos. 1 and 2 framed below Exh. O-7 will be tried as preliminary issue. In the meanwhile, the
Second Party filed affidavit of examination in chief on 10.10.2017 and as the First Party failed to cross examine the
Second Party, hence the matter proceeded without cross examination of the First Party. However, vide order dated
26.04.2019, the no cross order was set aside and the First Party was cross examined by the Second Party on
26.04.2019. Thereafter, the witness of the First Party was examined on 26.04.2019 and cross examined on
27.02.2020. Thereafter, the First Party remained absent continuously. Hence, notice was issued to the First Party,
which was received by it as per postal acknowledgment at Exh. O-11. However, it remained absent. Thereafter,
preliminary issues were decided vide order dated 17.12.2022 and it is held that the departmental inquiry conducted
against the Second Party was not legal, fair and proper and the findings of the Inquiry Officer are perverse and not
based on the evidence brought before him. By said order, the First Party was given opportunity to lead evidence if any
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1103
to prove the misconduct of the Second Party. However, no evidence lead by the First Party in this regard. Hence, the
evidence of the First party was closed and the matter was put up for evidence of the Second Party vide order dated
04.01.2023 below Exh. O-1. Thereafter, the Second Party lead evidence by filing his affidavit of examination-in-chief
on 09.02.2023. However, the First Party failed to cross examine the Second Party even after grant of reasonable
chances, hence the matter was fixed for argument on 21.02.2023.
As to Issue Nos. 3 to 5 :
9.
In view of the order dated 17.12.2022, now it is duly proved that the inquiry conducted against the Second
Party is not legal, fair and proper. It is also decided that the findings of the Inquiry Officer are not based on the
evidence brought before him. There is nothing on record to show that said order is challenged by the First Party.
Hence, the order dated 17.12.2022 attained finality and the findings given below preliminary issue became final.
10.
The First Party failed to lead any evidence in Court to prove the misconduct of the Second Party even after
grant of reasonable chances. Thus, there is absolutely no evidence on record to prove the misconduct of the Second
Party. On the other hand, the Second Party i.e. Manikrao Kamble deposed in his evidence at Exh. U-29 that
management of the First Party issued show cause notice dated 21.10.2009 for imposing punishment of compulsory
retirement, which was replied by him by reply dated 03.11.2009. He deposed that without considering his reply, the
First Party issued him the punishment order dated 09.11.2009. He specifically deposed that the punishment issued to
him is disproportionate and liable to be set aside.
11.
It is already proved and decided that the departmental inquiry held against the delinquent i.e. Second Party
was not fair, legal and proper and the findings of the Inquiry officer are perverse and not based on evidence brought
before him. So, obviously, the punishment of compulsory retirement from service imposed on Second Party based on
such departmental inquiry which is not fair, proper and legal and when the findings of the Inquiry Officer are not
based on evidence brought before him, is shockingly disproportionate. As already discussed that no evidence lead by
the First Party in Court to prove the misconduct of Second Party. So, certainly, the misconduct of the Second Party is
not proved though alleged. Therefore, in such circumstances, when misconduct is not proved then question of
imposing any punishment for misconduct did not arise. Therefore, the First Party is not justified in imposing the
punishment of compulsory retirement from service with superannuation benefits on Second party for the alleged
misconduct which is not proved to be committed by the Second party. Hence, in such circumstances, the Second party
is certainly entitled for reinstatement with continuity of service and full back wages as prayed by him. I therefore,
answered Issue Nos. 3 and 5 in the affirmative and the issue No.4 in the negative.
12.
In the result, I pass following order :-
ORDER
•
The reference is answered in the affirmative.

1. On receipt of the Order No. L-12012/103/2004-IR (B-I) dt. 20.08.2004 of the reference from the
Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, it was registered
as Reference case No. 106 of 2004 on 15.09.2004 and accordingly an order to that effect was passed to issue notices
through the Registered Post to the parties concerned, directing them to appear before the Tribunal on the date fixed
and to file their written statements along with the relevant documents. In pursuance of the said order, notices by the
Registered Post were sent to the parties concerned.
2, The brief facts as narrated by the workman in the Written statement of claim as details below:
i) That the petitioner comes within the category of oppressed class called as Scheduled Caste having
privileges enshrined in the constitution of India under which the Indian system and democracy works and
the petitioner stands byte provisions contained in his favour and the OP being so much of strength cannot
take away them under the system of Rule of law.
ii) But it is admitted case of the O.P. vide para-4 of the reply submitted to the A.L.C., Patna on 20.01.2004
tagged as Annexure-I herewith as to this written statement that the petitioner worked for cleaning the
Branch premises of Bihat Chandi Chowk Branch from 1985 to 1994 i.e. eight years. But it is not correct
statement of the O.P. that he was working as a Casual Labour. In fact he worked continuously for all
those period without break and to deprive the benefit accruing to the poor workman petitioner of the
benefit accruing out of the continuous working of two forty days. Such unreliable, arbitrary and wrong
statement has been made by the O.P. The petitioner being not in such a position to know all about the
realities of the matter could not get the matter in the proper dimension and kept on working for such a
long period with the great hope and as assured by the O.P. that he will be regularized in the job.
iii) That the contention of the petitioner gets fortified from this fact that a new person namely Jai Narayan
Paswan was appointed and made to join in 1995 and this poor petitioner had worked till 26.1.1995.This
contribution as workman was well entertained and appreciated by the O.P. on auspicious day of
26.01.1995.But it was never expected by this poor petitioner that as soon as the flag hoisting ceremony
on 26th January,1995 will be over he will be asked by the Management that his service to the bank is
terminated and in his place a new person will be taken in the service without any fault or anything against
him and even without show cause notice. But it was never expected by this poor petitioner that as soon as
the flag foisting ceremony on 26th January, 1995 will be over he will be asked by the Management that his
service tote an is terminated and in his place a new person will be taken in the service without any fault or
anything against him and even without show cause notice. This is a glaring example of arbitrariness and
giving good bye to the provisions of Indian Constitution and Service Rules with this all hope of the
petitioner shattered beneath the stroke of affluent management of O.P. The petitioner’s contribution as
workman for such a long period which kept him confined with hope to get his service regularized any
moment as has been assured by Management O.P.it is noteworthy and a matter natural justice that when
the post was sanctioned the first priority and option should have been given to the petitioner but to the
contrary his service was terminated. In other words it is submitted that it is wrong statement of the
O.P./Bank that there was not sanctioned post or vacancy for the post of Sweeper on which the petitioner
was working as the vacancy and post was kept vacant and one Jai Narayan Paswan was employed after
terminating the service of the petitioner against the service rule. The poor petitioner was subjected to a
harsh punishment by O.P. against all the norms.
iv) But the statement and plea taken by the O.P. Bank that the petitioner’s claim is not maintainable for
being a “stale’ claim in view of the same being the ten years old and wrongly took shelter of apex Court
judgment referred as “Neduqunddi Bank Ltd. Case” .The ruling and the principle propounded by the
Hon’ble Supreme Court in the said Judgment is not applicable in this case. In fact, in the facts and
circumstances of the case the petitioner ever within his limited circumstances has been knocking the door
of authorities including the statutory authority of National Human Right Commission as regards injustice
with the demand of getting justice within his limited resource. The letter issued by National Human Right
Commission dt.21.06.2000 which is annexed as Annexure –II to this written statement clearly breaks the
very roots of the plea of the O.P. of “Stale Claim” It will not be out of place to mention here that
Government of India ,Ministry of Labour vide letter dt.20.08.2004 took the issue of petitioner’s
termination as Industrial dispute between the Management of SBI and workman Ram Chandra Mallick
Dom (Sweeper) over denial of regularization and illegal termination of service. The said letter is annexed
herewith as Annexure –III. The matter was taken up by the Assist. Labour commissioner in conciliation
and after the failure of conciliation only the matter has been referred to this Hon’ble Court for proper
justice. The Annexure –IV the failure of conciliation report dt. 16.03.2004 and a letter of Asstt. Labour
Commissioner, Patna dt.25.09.2003 Annexure –V will further support the contention of the petitioner and
hollowness of the O.P. besides the other available documents will also support the petition.
1106
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
It is not the correct statement of the O.P. that he did not take step. In fact the petitioner has been
attempting all through the period after termination of his service from door to door and in fact assurances
a have been given by the various authorities that his case will be considered in the correct prospective.
Hoping and believing them the petitioner reasonably kept on waiting for some time and having no way
out started taking steps against his injustice as a result of which the present proceeding is before this
learned Court as his and his entire family members hope have been shattered by the O.P. and still the
petitioner has hope in getting justice.
The petitioner is ready to substantiate his case both with the help of documentary and oral evidence in the
court to the best satisfaction of the court and this will prove that the plea of OP Bank falls to the ground.
v) That admittedly the bank in the inception on 02.10.1975 and hence forth both number of staffs and the
area of premises of the Bank kept on highly increasing that is from about 400 Square feet to 3600 Square
feet so far area is concerned.
vi) That it will be pertinent to mention here that the petitioner bases his case only on the provision on
Constitution of India in fact with respect to article 14 & 19 upon which the O.P. Bank too relies upon as
per O.P., Statement made in the petition of objection dt.20.01.2004 at para 5, besides the petitioner take
shelter of other provisions of the Constitution of India including that of directive principles of state policy
of which the OP. is subject to as well. The said petition dt.20.01.2004 is Annexure-VI to this W.S. and on
application submitted to Asstt. Labour Commissioner Patna is annexed here with as Annexure VI.
vii) That the OP Bank has acted most malafidely arbitrarily, illegally and against the natural justice as well in
the matter of this petitioner and unnecessary a dispute has been raised under Industrial Dispute Act.
viii) That the petitioner has bonafide claim to get his employment in the O.P.’s Bank and the Court be pleased
to pass an appropriate order in favour of the petitioner directing the O.P. Bank to regularize the
petitioner’s service in the Bank with all compensation and the amount with effect from the date of
termination of the petitioner.
3 Per contra, the OP/Management came forward to defend the case by filing counter claim on the written
statement for claim so filed by the workman with such narrative :-
I)
That the aforesaid reference is not legally maintainable, vague and bad in the eye of law.
II)
That the dispute is an individual dispute and not an industrial dispute, and hence outside the purview of
I.D.Act.1947.
III) That the person concerned cannot raise dispute under Sec.2-A of the I.D. Act.1947, as the said provision
is available to an individual workman only and not to an outsider like the persons concerned.
IV) That the instant dispute has been raised after ten years ,and hence the same has become hopelessly stale
by lapse of time, and this suffers from latches of delay.
V)
That without any prejudice to the submissions made in the foregoing paragrahs, but strongly relying on
the same, it is submitted that the person concerned was never an employee of State Bank of India at any
time, and hence he is not workman as defined under Industrial Disputes Act 1947.
VI) That no employer employee relationship exists between the employers and the person concerned.
VII) That the persons concerned was neither appointed by State Bank of India in any capacity, nor paid any
wages by State Bank of India which derives strength from the fact, that the designation under which the
person concerned alleged to have worked has not been mentioned in the terms of reference. ‘
VIII) That it is relevant to mention here that in case of vacancies, the same has to be filed up after observing
he procedures of recruitment as prescribed under the Rules/Regulation of State Bank of India, and nobody
is empowered to engage or deploy any person directly at his sweet will.
IX) That the Branch of the Bank at Bihat Chandi Chowk was earlier a pay office only having 400 sq. ft. of
space having three staff, and the said pay office was upgraded to status of a Branch on 2.12.81 with staff
strength of which increased to 8 in 1994 .There was no sanctioned vacancy of sweeper. In order to keep
the small space clear the person concerned as engaged sometimes on daily basis from 1986 to 1994 only
to perform part time job which was highly casual in nature and used to be paid some amount which was
agreed upon by the person concerned. Sometimes the person concerned used to been engaged in some
extra work which occurred temporarily which is not incidental to or connected to Banking operation on
contract basis temporarily, for which he used to be paid the contractual amount as agreed upon by both
the parties.
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1107
X)
That the aforesaid engagement does not entitle him to be treated as regular employee and workman of the
Bank and does not confer on the person concerned any right to claim regularization of the Bank.
XI) That in the light of above submissions the person concerned was never terminated by the Bank and cannot
claim regularization in service.
In rejoinder both the litigant parties under Reference refuted claims of each other with reiteration to stand by the
statement /claim taken by them as just fair and proper.
4. On scrutiny of record further reveals that the Union /Petitioner appeared through Ld. Advocate Mr.
M.K.Pathak filed list of the documents with copies thereof in order to substantiate workman’s contention before
the Court on the matter .
i)
Xerox copies of Certificate of service rendered by the workman to be issued by the Manager, Bihat
Chandani Chowrk Branch in five pages but not exhibited
ii) Petition or recalling the original certificate dt. 09.09.2005 of service issued by the Management of Bihat,
Chandi Chowrk Branch, Begusarai but not exhibited.
5. Though hearing of the case matter was resumed again on 03.02.2021 and copy of served upon in presence of the
Ld. Advocate appearing on behalf of the workman made pleading for more time to file rejoinder /supplementary
reply. On 03.08.2021 Ld. Advocate of the workman took plea to plead the Written Statement of claim filed by the
workman to be treated as Written Argument on behalf of the workman and not confronted over the issue of the
Management’s contention and stand. Workman argument is restricted to written Statement of workman only talks
about constitutional right and application to Human Rights Commission on being oppressed class person than the
claim under the Industrial Dispute.
6. The written statement of the workman exclusively deals with constitutional right to be absorbed regularly
unilaterally onsides and application to the human Rights Commission being the claim an from the category of
oppressed class had nothing to do with the present fact of the case and under the domain of the Industrial Dispute
Act to be granted any relief. The workman concerned did not show any engagement letter of the State Bank of India
in course of hearing nor did disclose the post or designation under which the he used to work which derives strength
itself from the fact of hollowness of the factum. The period disclosing the how many years the petitioner was in
service worked with the Bank Management against any sanctioned posts is not available .Simultaneously whether
the workman is having qualification in terms of statutory recruitment rules for the post. Accordingly, the Tribunal
finds no impediment in holding that the petitioner has tried to establish by cogent and consistence evidence of his
engagement as Sweeper under the OP/Bank but could not clarify that his service was utilized against any sanctioned
post he had worked for how many years.
7. The OP/Management on its behalf stated that it is materially important and relevant factual submission made by
the O.P./Management in counter written statement. The same is reproduced below for ready reference and record:
a) “ That the Branch of the Bank at Bihat Chandani Chowk was earlier a Pay Office only having 400 Sq.
ft. of space having 3 staff ,and the said office was upgraded to status of a Branch on 02.12.1981 with staff
strength of which was increased to eight in 1994 . Sometimes on daily basis from 1986 to 1994 only to
perform part time job which was highly casual in nature?”
b) There was no sanctioned vacancy of sweeper in order to keep small space clear the person concerned was
engaged only to perform part time job which was highly casual in nature and used to be paid some amount
which was agreed upon by the person concerned. Sometimes the person concerned used to be engaged in
some extra work which occurred temporarily which is not incidental or connected to Banking operation on
contract basis temporarily, for which he used to be paid the contractual amount as agreed upon by both
the parties.
c) In the case of Uma Devi the Hon’ble Supreme Court have held that the people who are appointed on
temporary and casual basis without following proper procedure cannot claim absorption regularization
since the same is opposed to the policy of Public employment. But this is not a case of claiming automatic
regularization or absorption. The Claimant of this proceeding just ventilated his grievance since he was
deprived of fair deal by the OP/Management due to unfair labour practice. It is also an admitted state of
fact that no appointment letter was ever issued by the OP/Management to the claimant.”
8. Advancing the argument over the contention of the case as the subject matter the O.P./Management cited and
placed on record a series of the Hon’ble Apex Court Judgments which are as follows:
i)
Himanshu Kumar Vdidyarthi Vs. State of Bihar 1997 LAB IC 2075 (AIR 1997 SC 3657)
1108
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
ii) Director, Institute of Management Development ,U.P. Vs. Smt. Pushpa Srivastava (AIR 1992 SC 2070)
iii) Hon’ble Supreme Court in the State of Orissa Vs. Mamata Mohanty,(2011) (3) SCC 436
iv) M.P. State Coop Bank Ltd. Vs. Nanuram Yadav as under (2007)1 SCC 408
v) State of Karnataka Vs. Uma Devi (2006)(4) SCC 1
vi) The Hindustan Aeronautics Ld. Vs. Dan Bhadur Singh reted in 2007 (6) SCC 207
9. Through the Hon’ble Jharkhand High Court Judgment in the L.P.A. No. 268 of 2012 the
O.P./management has cited very important pleading .The relevant extract of this judgment is reproduced
below for ready reference
“Be that as it may, even assuming without admitting that this appellant has worked more than 240
days in couple of years ,then also, his services cannot be regularized 240 days working is not a magic wand
which converts illegal appointment into the legal appointment. In fact 240 days working has nothing to do with
the regularization at all 240 days has got reference under Sec.25-B of the Industrial Disputes Act. 1947 for
calculation of continuous years of service and nothing beyond that. Unnecessarily several time the Labour
Court or the Industrial Courts are committing an error that if any worker has completed 240 days their
services should be regularized .In fact there is no casual connection at all between the working of 240 days and
right of regularization. Illegality in the appointment cannot be diluted by the working of 240 days. Illegality in
the appointment continues, even if worker has worked for 240 days.”
The Hon’ble Jharkhand High Court has been further pleased to hold as following through the same
judgment
“Whenever any employment is given unathorizedly, in the Respondent UCO Bank ,Hirapur, Dhanbad ,such
type of employment cannot be converted into a regular employment unless there are rules for regularization or scheme
for regularization .In the facts of the present case, there are no rules of regularization nor there is any scheme of
regularization floated by the UCO Bank. In absence of such type of law, the charity shown by the Court will be
cruelty to others. If such type regularization is allowed by the Courts. It will provide encouragement to those who are
adorning high ranking administrative position to give illegal appointment and later on to get them regularized by the
orders of the Courts. A thing which cannot be done directly can never be done indirectly. If no employment can be
given without there being any advertisement and without there being any recruitment process, the Court cannot be
party to illegal regularization of such employee.”
In view of such fact and in view of the decision of Hon’ble Supreme Court and Hon’ble Jharkhand High Court it is
settled that the workman is not entitled for regularization.”
10.
As a matter of fact the workman on his behalf did not counter the contention of the Management based on
the argument and citation of the judgment whereas the workman was served on 03.02.2021 copy of the argument in
the presence of the Ld. Advocate representing the workman during the hearing on 03.02.2021 .Contrary to it the
workman prayed for time to file rejoinder/supplementary reply rather in subsequent hearing fixed on 03.08.2021. No
direct confrontation on the contention of the Management coupled with Apex Court several judgments undeniably
had visibly weaken the claimant’s demand and the workman does not qualify for grant of relief. But there is no
materials on record the elaborate procedure of identification of sanctioned post and detailed advertisement inviting
application from temporary employees/case applications from temporary employees/casual workers are some the
claimant avail that opportunity or not. The period how many years the petitioner was in service worked with the
Bank Management against any sanctioned posts or not .Or whether the workman is having qualification in terms of
statutory recruitment rules for the post. Accordingly, the Tribunal finds no impediment in holding that the petitioner
has established by cogent and consistence evidence of his engagement as Sweeper under the OP/Bank but could not
clarify that his service was utilized against any sanctioned post or for how many years.
11.
Through the materials on record as evident from the claim of workman’s rendering service to the OP/Bank
since 1986 to 1994 is irrefutable fact over which both the parties is of unambiguously agreeable .To support the
stand they have also filed documents showing he has worked in the year 1986 for 300 days, in the year 1987 for
300 and in1988 for 300 days and from 1989 to 1994 1806 days in the capacity of Sweeper under the Caption of
Certificate of Temporary Service on Daily Wage Basis with Seal and Signature of Branch Manager.The
Tribunal finds no impediment in holding that the petitioner has tried to establish by cogent and consistence evidence
of his engagement as Sweeper under the OP/Bank. But the same does not confer on workman right to claim for
regularization in Bank. The workman have every reason to show that Bank took service of the workman in
exigency but termination does not seem to have made in accordance with the provisions under Sec. 25-F the
Industrial Dispute Act. The workman claimed to have rendered service 300 days in 1986,300 in 1987 ,300 days in
1988 and 1806 days from 1989 to 1994 which was issued by the Branch concerned under its signature with seal of
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1109
the Bank. So, it is established that workmen have completed more than 240 days in 1986, 1987 and 1988
consecutively. Thus, the undisputed and uncontroverted documentary evidence adduced by the claimant led to a
conclusion that the workman was working with the OP/Management for the period as adduced
12. Thus on considering the whole materials of fact and no confrontation by the workman side on the
key issue on merits as adduced by the Management and in the background of citation of a series of the Apex Court
Judgments and Hob’ble High Court ,Ranchi judgment over the matter, the Tribunal holds the opinion that
appointment made without holding a proper selection do not give right for consideration for being regularized in
casual or temporary nature of work in contradiction of provisions where all eligible candidates do not get fair chance
to compete. In the above parameter the workman could not qualify himself to be granted any relief. Such illegality
cannot be cured by taking recourse of regularization. So the workman is not entitled for grant of any relief as sought
for.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
No. L- 22012/208/99/IR(CM-II) dated 31/08/1999 has been pleased to refer the following dispute between the
employers, i.e. the Management of Bankola Colliery of M/s. ECL and their workman for adjudication by this
Tribunal.
SCHEDULE
“Whether the action of the management of Bankola Colliery of M/s. ECL in not providing
employment to the dependent of Sh. Jadu Ram, workman as per clause 9.4.3. of NCWA-IV is
legal and justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled?”
1. After receipt of order No. L-22012/208/99/IR(CM-II) dated 31/08/1999 of the aforesaid Reference framed by
Ministry of Labour, Government of India, New Delhi for adjudication, a Reference case No. 135 of 1999 was
registered on 04/10/2001. Notices were issued to parties under registered post directing them to appear and file their
written statements along with relevant documents and respective list of witnesses they would like to rely upon.
2.
Initially, on 31/07/2002 a No Dispute Award was passed as no written statement was submitted by the
parties. On 05/09/2002 at the instance of the workmen’s union a Misc. case 08 of 2002 was started. On 01/03/2005
the application for restoration was allowed and the No Dispute Award was set aside with a cost of Rs. 50/-. The
Reference case was restored to its original number and file. The workmen’s union filed written statement on
03/05/2005 and the Management filed written statement on 08/02/2016 after eleven years. Evidence was adduced by
Jadu Ram who was cross-examined on behalf of the Management on 05/04/2016. Opportunity was given to the
Management to adduce evidence but they declined.
3. Case was taken up for final hearing on 10/01/2023. Mr. Rakesh Kumar, the union representative argued that
Jadu Ram was a permanent employee of M/s. ECL. He was declared medically unfit w.e.f. 29/04/1991. The
dependent son, Ramesh Ram applied for employment. The proposal was sent from the colliery level to the Area
office after necessary screening. The Area office after conducting screening and medical examination declared him
fit for duty but no employment was provided to the dependent of the employee in terms with clause 9.4.3 of NCWA-
IV. On several occasions, prayer was made before the Management of M/s. ECL for providing employment but no
heed was paid. It is the case of the petitioner that the dependents have no source of income and are facing starvation
with family for which the dependent son should get an employment. In this case, Jadu Ram has been examined as
WW-I. In the course of cross-examination, the witness denied that his son was not entitled to get employment under
the company as per provisions of NCWA-IV.
4. Mr. P. K. Das, learned advocate for ECL in reply argued that the Date of Birth of Jadu Ram as per ‘B’ Form
Register is 01/07/1931 and his date of appointment was 06/01/1953. It is admitted that Jadu Ram was declared
medically unfit w.e.f. 21/06/1991 as per letter No. BA/PO/A-II(20)1960 dated 10/13.6.1991 issued by Dy. P.M.
Bankola Area. Learned advocate argued that the normal date of superannuation of Jadu Ram is 01.07.1991 but he was
terminated on 21.06.1991 for being held medically unfit. Therefore, the dispute raised by the dependent of the
workman for employment has no merit and the Management has not acted arbitrarily by not providing employment to
the dependent of Ex-workman under the clause 9.4.3 of NCWA-IV. In the written statement the Management of ECL
has urged that the Ex-Workman is not entitled to any relief as prayed for.
5. On perusal of records, it appears that Ex-workman Jadu Ram appeared before the Disablement Medical
Board on 29/04/1991 and by office order dated 17/06/1991, the workman was declared medically unfit for duty and
he was stopped from duty w.e.f. 21/06/1991. It would therefore, appear that Jadu Ram was declared medically unfit
and stopped from his duty only ten days before his attaining the age of superannuation. The workman and his
dependents did not suffer any major financial loss for termination of service of the workman just ten days before
superannuation. Though there is a provision in NCWA-IV for providing employment to the dependent of the
workman who is terminated on medical ground or died in harness, the employer certainly has discretion to adjudge
whether the dependent of the employee who is terminated from service on medical ground should get the benefit of
employment.
6. In my considered view, I do not find any arbitrariness on part of the Management in not providing
employment to the dependent of the workman under clause 9.4.3 of NCWA-IV who has rendered service for entire
tenure of his service career except ten days. The appropriate relief arising out of premature termination of service by
ten days only is monetary compensation. Since, the workman has been terminated from service on medical ground
ten days before superannuation, which according to office records is 01/07/1991, it is deemed appropriate, suitable
and proper to award a compensation of one month’s salary last drawn by the workman to the dependent of the
workman at the relevant time. Reference case is accordingly disposed of.
Hence,

AWARD
1. Instant application under section 33-C(2) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 was filed by Rajesh Sharma,
ex-employee of Sodepur Central Workshop of M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited, praying for payment of allowance and
wages during his period of suspension from service from 30.12.2005 to 26.03.2007.
2. Mr. P. K. Das, learned advocate for the Management of Sodepur Central Workshop of M/s. Eastern
Coalfields Limited filed Vokalatnama. Rajesh Sharma, the petitioner appeared in person. Mr. Sanjoy Kumar Sen,
learned advocate for the petitioner filed fresh Vokalatnama along with an application stating that the dispute between
the applicant and the opposite party has been settled as such petitioner does not want to proceed further. Copy of the
application has been served upon learned advocate for M/s. Eastern Coalfields Limited.
3. The case was fixed up on 22.02.2023 for hearing of argument. Application was made by the petitioner
praying for recovery of dues from 30.12.2005 to 26.03.2007 i.e. during the period of his suspension from service. It
appears from the averment in petition that Rajesh Sharma was in judicial custody during that period in connection
with some criminal procedure due to which he was suspended. At this stage the petitioner does not want to press his
claim in this case.
4. It also appears from a copy of judgment dated 29.04.2014 of Sessions Trial No. 124 of 2006 that Rajesh
Sharma was given the benefit of doubt and was acquitted from charges under Sections 498A/306/406 of Indian Penal
Code (IPC). It is submitted that the petitioner has been reinstated in service and is not inclined to proceed further.
Under such facts and circumstances the L. C. Application is bereft of merit and dismissed.

AWARD
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 Central Government through the Ministry of Labour vide its order No. L-
22012/34/2008-IR(CM-II) dated 29/09/2008 has been pleased to refer the following dispute between the employers,
i.e. the Management of M/s. ECL and their workman for adjudication by this Tribunal.
SCHEDULE
“Whether the action of the management of M/s. ECL in not promoting Shri Swapan Mondal,
Store Keeper Grade-I is legal and justified? To what relief is the workman entitled?”
1. After receiving order No. L-22012/34/2008-IR(CM-II) dated 29/09/2008 from Ministry of Labour,
Government of India, New Delhi, a Reference case No. 50 of 2008 has been registered on 07.10.2008/13.04.2009.
Notice was issued to parties under registered post directing them to appear and file their written statements along with
relevant documents and respective list of witnesses they would like to rely upon and examine. Both the workman and
the Management of ECL have filed written statements. Swapan Mondal was examined as WW-I and faced cross-
examination.
2. The Reference case is fixed up today for appearance of parties and adducing evidence of Management
Witness. Mr. P. K. Goswami, learned advocate for ECL has filed affidavit-in-chief of Mr. Arvind Kumar, Chief
Manager (Excavation), Neamatpur Central Excavation Store. Some documents have been filed in connection with
service record of Swapan Mondal.
3. The aggrieved workman, Swapan Mondal has also appeared and filed a petition praying for disposing the
case as he does not want to proceed further. The question for adjudicating is whether the Management of ECL is
justified in not promoting Swapan Mondal, Store Keeper Grade-I. Mr. Arvind Kumar, Management Witness-I
produced copy of service register of Swapan Mondal as Exhibit M-1, important service record excerpt as Exhibit M-2
and a copy of Bio-data of the workman bearing signature of Swapan Mondal as Exhibit M-3. The witness deposed
that the date of appointment of Swapan Mondal is 14/01/1974. According to criteria for promotion in the cadre
scheme one has to pass Matriculate examination but Swapan Mondal did not have any such qualification. As he did
not possess the minimum educational qualification for his next promotion he was not considered for the promotion,
though he was one of senior staff members. Cross-examination of witness was declined by Swapan Mondal. In
Exhibit M-3, column No. 11(a) it is noted that he appeared in his School Final examination. Therefore, it is clear that
Swapan Mondal did not pass school Final or Matriculation examination, necessary for being considered for his
promotion.
4. On earlier occasion Swapan Mondal filed affidavit-in-chief and was cross-examined. He stated that he was
last promoted on 12/08/1992 but was not considered for the higher next grade. In paragraph six of affidavit-in-chief,
WW-I stated that all other persons junior to him were promoted from store keeper Grade –I to Clerical special grade
on 24/08/2005 but he did not get promotion in spite of seniority. Swapan Mondal submitted that he has already
superannuated from his service and has no further claim against the employer.
5. Considering the facts and circumstances, I find that the aggrieved workman has already superannuated
from service and did not have adequate qualification for promotion at time he raised this dispute. Therefore, I find
that Swapan Mondal is not entitled to any relief in this case. The reference case is disposed of against him.
Hence,
ORDER
Swapan Mondal, the workman is not entitled to any relief as claimed herein and the Reference case is
disposed of against him. Let an Award be passed in light of my above findings. Let copies of Award be
communicated to the Ministry for information and necessary action.

Being noticed the mgt appeared and filed w/s denying the stand taken by the workmen unions. It has been
sated that mgt is public sector company and having its own rules regulating the service condition of the employees.
By officer order dated 03.12.1997 the company had farmed a scheme for encashment of annual leave by the
employee. This scheme was modified form time to time. As per the scheme of 1997, the computation od encashment
to annual leave amount per day was to e arrives by dividing monthly wage that is basic wages plus DA by 30 days.
That office order of 03.12.1997 was modified with effect from 30. 05. 1982 by virtue of which the computation of
encashment of annual leave per day was to be arrived by dividing the monthly basic wage and DA by 26 days
instead of f30 days . that office order was again order was again modified on 04. 04. 1985 and as per the modification
the mgt reserves the right to interpet modify, reverse of withdraw this above scheme at its discretion. During the
annual audit in the year 2005 carried out by CAG objection was raised on computation of encashment of annual leave
by dividing monthly wage by 26 days instead of 30 days. Thus, the mgt modified the scheme for use of divisor 30
instead of 26. The objection and demand taken by the unions is baseless illegal and liable to be rejected.
The claimants filed rejoinder re- writing the stand taken in the claim petition.
On this rival pleadings. The following were framed for adjudication.
Issues
1. Whether the action of the mgt BEL Ghaziabad not allowing encashment of annual leave as is being done
in other units of BEL amounts to violation of section 9A of the ID Act, 1947. If so, it's effect?
2. Whether the dispute has been espoused as required under law, if so it’s effect?
3. To what relief the workman entitled to”
The claimants thereafter were called upon to adduce evidence in support of their claim. Several opportunities
were allowed for the purpose and for non appearance of the claimants fresh notices were also issued. Despite that
when the claimants did not turn up, the opportunity for adducing evidence was closed. Thereafter the management
was called upon to adduce evidence. But there being no evidence adduced by the claimants to discharge the burden of
proof, the management expressed that no evidence by the management shall be adduced. Hence evidence was closed,
argument was heard being advanced by the management.
During argument the learned AR for the management submitted that the burden of proof being on the
claimant, they opted not to adduce evidence. Whereas the stand taken in the claim petition has not been substantiated
the stand taken by the management stands unrebutted. Hence the claim be decided against the claimants.
On hearing the argument advanced by the management it is held that the claim advanced by the claimants has
not been established. Hence a no dispute award is to be passed. Hence ordered.
ORDER

AWARD
1.
Afore mentioned three cases which have arisen out of alleged change in condition of service to the prejudice
of workman, his remaining absent from duty and consequent dismissal of the workman are taken up together for
convenience of adjudication. A brief profile of the two Complaint cases filed by Balmukund Sharma (hereinafter
referred as the workman), an employee of M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited (hereinafter referred as M/s. BCCL) is
that in Complaint No. 03 of 2002 filed on 07.10.2002 under section 33 A of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 the
workman alleged that while an Industrial Dispute relating to his regularisation as Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade
– III was pending before the Central Govt. Industrial Tribunal -cum- Labour Court, Asansol, bearing Reference No.
44 of 1999, the Employer M/s. BCCL by Order dated 12.09.2002 transferred him from Dahibari Colliery of
M/s. BCCL to Basantimata Colliery of M/s. BCCL to an inferior post of Fitter Apprentice and released him from his
place of posting on 16.09.2002 in violation of the provisions contained under section 33 (1) of the Industrial Dispute
Act, 1947. The complainant therefore, prayed for cancellation of the Order of Transfer in respect of the workman till
disposal of the Reference case.
2.
During pendency of the Reference case No. 44 of 1999 M/s. BCCL, the opposite party, Employer
issued Charge Sheet dated 07.12.2002 (Ext.M-2) to the workman for his unauthorized absence, misconduct and
disobedience of order of higher authority. It is alleged that the workman failed to submit any satisfactory reply to the
Charge Sheet. Accordingly, a Departmental Enquiry was held by an independent officer who provided reasonable
opportunity to the workman to defend his case. The Enquiry Officer in his Report observed that the charge of
misconduct was fully established against the workman and on the basis of his report a second Show Cause Notice was
issued to the opposite party. As the opposite party failed to submit any satisfactory explanation in respect of the
enquiry made against him, the Disciplinary Authority dismissed the workman from his service vide order of dismissal
bearing No. DB:XII:Agent:04:Dismissal:04/44 dated 09/16.01.2004. Letter of dismissal from service was issued after
he was paid one month’s wage under clause (b) of sub-section (2) of Section 33 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947.
In their application dated 19.01.2004 the Management of M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited prayed before the
Tribunal for approving the action of dismissal of the workman, Balmukund Sharma by the Management of
M/s. BCCL.
3.
As a counter blast the workman filed a separate Complaint bearing No. 01 of 2004 dated 23.04.2004,
contending that the order of dismissal passed against him is illegal as the condition of his service was changed
adversely to his interest during pendency of the industrial dispute without any express permission from this Tribunal
and prayed for quashing the order of his dismissal dated 16.01.2004 and payment of wages to him w.e.f. 16.01.2004.
4.
All three cases were disposed of together by my predecessor in this Tribunal who passed a common Award
dated 02.12.2009, whereby the action of the Management of M/s. BCCL was considered improper and illegal and that
the transfer of the workman, altering the condition of service during pendency of the Industrial Dispute was held to be
a contravention of provisions under section 33(1) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. It was held that the order of
dismissal of the workman w.e.f. 16.01.2004 was not sustainable and was set aside and it was held that the
Application bearing No. 01 of 2004 filed by the Employer Company for post facto approval of order of dismissal was
not sustainable. Relief was provided to the workman by way of an order of reinstatement in service and payment of
full back wages.
5.
The impugned order dated 02.12.2009 passed by my predecessor in chair in the aforesaid three (3) cases
were assailed by M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited through the General Manager, Chanch Victoria Area, in Writ
petition No.11852 (W) of 2010. Hon’ble Single Bench of High Court at Calcutta disposed of the Writ application on
24.04.2019 observing as follows:
“This Court finds that the Tribunal has found finding of intentional victimization of the workman by the writ
petitioner, in transferring him and forcing him to perform works of a difficult nature, without any evidence oral or
documentary being led in this regard by either side.
This Court, therefore, has no hesitation to hold that a large number of findings of the Tribunal against the
Industry are based on conjecture and surmise. In facts of the case, the parties ought to have been allowed to lead
evidence in the matter and it is only after a trial on evidence that the Tribunal should have proceeded to come to any
legitimate finding with regard to either any act or omission on the part of the Industry or the Workman.
In those circumstances, the impugned order shall stand set aside.”
6.
These three (3) proceedings have been remanded to this Tribunal for adjudication afresh. The Tribunal has
been directed to frame issues on all three cases and parties are to be allowed to lead evidence both oral and
documentary before the Tribunal. It has been observed by the Hon’ble High Court that the matter shall thereafter
be dealt with suitably by the Tribunal in accordance with the provisions of Section 11 of the Industrial Dispute
Act, 1947 and that the applications to be disposed of within a period of three (3) months from the date of
communication of the order.

The genesis of the dispute between the parties lies in an Industrial Dispute raised on behalf of Balmukund
Sharma, the workman. A Reference case was initiated by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour and
Employment, New Delhi in exercise of jurisdiction vested under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section 2(A) of
section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947, formulating the question for adjudication as to whether the action of
Victoria West Colliery of M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited in denying regularisation of Balmukund Sharma, Fitter
Apprentice is justified? If not, to what relief is the workman entitled? The Reference case was initiated by Order No.
L-22012/214/98/IR(CM-II) dated 22.04.1999
10.
At the outset it would be appropriate to consider the facts of the Reference Case No. 44 of 1999 in order to
appreciate the relation of the extant cases with the subject matter of the Industrial Dispute initially raised. The
workman joined his service under M/s. BCCL as Under Ground Loader on 24.10.1990 as a dependent of his father-in-
law. He was subsequently re-designated as “Fitter Apprentice” at Basantimata Colliery of M/s. BCCL in Category-I
and continued in the post of Fitter Apprentice up to February, 1993. He was transferred to the Area Workshop in
March, 1993 in the same capacity. He was again transferred from Area Workshop to Victoria West Colliery of
M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited as Fitter Apprentice. He completed his three (3) years training period in September,
1994, but was not imparted any training by the Management. He was called for training at E. M. T. I. , Dhansar
vide letter no. 2817 dated 29.01.1994, but was not spared for such training and he continued to work as per
direction of the Agent. The upgradation of his post was due after completion of three (3) years’ training period but he
was not promoted to the post of Fitter in Category-IV. Even after completion of eleven (11) years of his service, he
was designated as “Fitter Apprentice” and getting wages as Category -I which is the lowest wage category of a daily
rated employee. While working at Victoria West Colliery of M/s. BCCL he was authorized to work as a Lamp Issue
Clerk in Clerical Grade -III w.e.f. 03.01.1996. Despite working as Lamp Issue Clerk, the workman was paid wages
applicable to Category-I and not for Lamp Issue Clerk. Being aggrieved with such treatment Balmukund Sharma
raised dispute before the Tribunal, praying for direction to the Management of Victoria West Colliery of M/s. BCCL
to regularise Balmukund Sharma as Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III with retrospective effect from 03.01.1996
and re-fix his pay as per National Coal Wage Agreement -V and VI and pay arrears of wages arising out of such
regularisation. After considering the evidence on record my predecessor in this Tribunal by Award dated 16.02.2017
1128
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
held that the action of the Management of Victoria West Colliery of M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited in denying
regularisation of Balmukund Sharma to Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III was unjustified. The Management of
Victoria West Colliery of M/s. Bharat Cocking Coal Limited was also directed to regularise Balmukund Sharma,
Apprentice Fitter as Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III w.e.f. 03.01.1996 and accordingly re-fix his wages as per
National Coal Wage Agreement- V and VI.
11.
The Order passed in the Reference case No. 44 of 1999 was assailed before the Hon’ble High Court at
Calcutta in Writ petition No. 25941 (W) of 2017. Copy of Hon’ble court’s judgement has been placed in evidence by
the workman which is marked as Exhibit Ext.W-5. In the judgement passed by the Hon’ble High Court it has been
observed that the petitioner cannot avoid treating the service as regular and nothing was brought before the Hon’ble
High Court to show that the Award had been interfered with. The Writ petition was accordingly dismissed.
12.
The Management of M/s. BCCL failed to produce any material to show that the Award passed by the
Tribunal on 16.02.2017, directing regularisation of Balmukund Sharma to the post of Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical
Grade -III w.e.f. 03.01.1996 was interfered or set aside by any Forum. Therefore, I have no hesitation to hold that the
Reference case initiated in earlier point of time regarding regularisation of Balmukund Sharma to the post of Lamp
Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade-III is binding upon the Management of Victoria West Colliery of M/s. Bharat Coking
Coal Limited.
13.
In Complaint No. 03 of 2002 under section 33 A of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947, the workman contended
that while an Industrial Dispute regarding his regularisation as Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III was pending
before this Tribunal for adjudication in Reference case No. 44 of 1999, he was transferred from Victoria West
Colliery to Dahibari Colliery and then to Basantimata Colliery by Order dated 12.09.2002 and was released from
Dahibari Colliery w.e.f. 16.09.2002 in violation of the provisions under section 33(1) of the Industrial Dispute Act,
1947 much to its prejudice.
14.
In the written statement the Agent of Dahibari Colliery stated that the workman was transferred from
Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata Colliery w.e.f. 15.09.2002 due to closure of the mine but the complainant did not
comply with the order, due to which the Agent of Dahibari Colliery issued Charge Sheet against the workman. It is
further claimed that transfer is incidental to service and there is no illegality in issuing the order of transfer to a
workman. In this case the workman in his Affidavit-in-chief has stated that he joined the Company on 24.10.1990 on
the basis of his letter of appointment (produced as Exhibit Ext.W-1). Initially he was posted as Piece Rated
Underground Mazdoor / Loader. In August, 1991 he was re-designated as ‘Fitter Apprentice’ as he was a matriculate
and performed his duty as Fitter Apprentice at Basantimata Colliery. Subsequently he was transferred to Area
Workshop in 1993 in the same post and worked there up to May,1995. In June,1995 he was transferred from Area
Workshop to Victoria West Colliery of M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited as Fitter Apprentice and he was allowed to
work as Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III from 03.01.1996. The workman produced a copy of letter issued
from E.M.T.I., Dhansar dated 28/29.01.1994, for undergoing his training as per the Apprenticeship Act, 1961 (Exhibit
Ext.W-3) but he was not released by the Manager for his training. On and from 03.01.1996 the Agent allowed him to
perform the duty of Lamp Issue Clerk by the Agent of the Company and the letter dated 03.01.1996 was issued in his
favour. However, in course of evidence no such document was produced by the workman. In Reference Case No. 44
of1999, an Award was passed directing regularization of his service in the post of Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade
-III in the Colliery. A copy of the Award has been produced as Exhibit Ext.W-22. On a careful reading of the Award,
it appears that the said letter dated 03.01.1996, issued by the Agent, authorizing Balmukund Sharma to work as
Lamp Issue Clerk was taken into consideration. In paragraph eight (8) it has been mentioned that the workman filed
the letter dated 03.01.1996 issued by the Agent of Victoria West Colliery of M/s. Bharat Coking Coal Limited
authorizing Balmukund Sharma, Fitter Apprentice to work as Lamp Issue Clerk at Victoria West Colliery w.e.f.
03.01.1996. The workman also filed photocopies of Certificates issued to him on 16.09.1997, 16.11.1997, 21.11.1997,
08.12.1997, and 29.12.1997 showing that he was allowed to work as a Lamp Issue Clerk. It may be mentioned herein
that the said documents were not admitted in evidence but at the time of disposing the Reference reliance was placed
upon them as co-workers Ram Niwas Kanu and (PW-2) and Ganga Mahato (PW-3) have stated in their evidence that
Balmukund Sharma had performed the job of Lamp Issue Clerk. In cross-examination of witness PW-1, PW-2, and
PW-3 their evidence could not be dislodged. No evidence was adduced by the Management of Victoria West Colliery
of M/s. BCCL that such authorization or Certificates were not issued in favour of Balmukund Sharma to work as
Lamp Issue Clerk.
15.
In the Reference Case No. 44 of 1999 it was held that the post of Lamp Issue Clerk was existing in the
Colliery and reference to “Clerical Staff” has been made in the “Nomenclature, job description and categorization of
coal employees”. Regarding the letter of authorization issued by the Agent of Victoria West Colliery of M/s. BCCL,
this Tribunal arrived at a finding that such authorization was not challenged and the Agent who is said to have issued
the letter was not summoned as a witness to challenge its authenticity. Accordingly, the claim of Balmukund Sharma
for regularisation to the post of Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III was found justified and an Award was passed
for regularisation of the workman as Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III w.e.f. 03.01.1996.

16.
The finding in Reference case No. 44 of 1999 is significant for the purpose of determining the dispute
involve in these three (3) cases under consideration. In his complaint under section 33 A of the Industrial Dispute Act,
1947 filed on 07.10.2002, the workman challenged the order of his transfer from Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata
Colliery during pendency of the Industrial Dispute. In his evidence-in-chief Workman Witness-1 has stated that
during pendency of the Reference Case he was transferred to Dahibari Colliery from Victoria West Colliery and
joined on 17.01.2001. Thereafter he filed a complaint under section 33 A of the Act before CGIT, Asansol, disclosing
that he was once again transfer by the Management dated 16.09.2002 from Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata Colliery
and the release is violative of the provisions contained in section 33 (1) of the Act. In the second Complaint case No.
01 of 2004 he contended that his dismissal during pendency of the Complaint Case by order dated 09/16.01.2004 on
the basis of perverse findings of the Enquiry Officer is in violation of the clause 27.2.6 of the Standing Order, where it
is provided that “No order of discharge or dismissal from service shall be made by an authority lower than the
appointing authority of the workman”.
17.
Mr. Brajanath Banerjee (Management Witness -1), Senior Officer (Personnel) at Basantimata Dahibari
Colliery under Chanch Victoria Area of M/s. BCCL stated in his Affidavit-in-chief that the workman was transferred
from Victoria West Colliery to Dahibari Colliery and he joined on 16.01.2001 as per terms of settlement in Form ‘H’.
The witness referred to a Memorandum of Settlement in Form ‘H’ executed by Balmukund Sharma, Management
representative, and Union representative on condition that he would be allowed to resume his duty as a ‘Fitter
Apprentice’ with immediate effect. Furthermore, the workman would not be paid any wages from 04.06.1999 till the
date of resumption of his duty at Dahibari Colliery and the period of absence from duty would be treated as dies non.
According to settlement the attendance of Balmukund Sharma would be monitored for a period of three (3) months
and in case of his unauthorized absence, disciplinary action would be started against him including removal from his
service. Balmukund Sharma was transferred from Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata Colliery w.e.f. 12.09.2002 and he
was released on 16.09.2002. In spite of his release, he did not report to the place of his posting, for which a Charge
Sheet was issued by the Management under letter no. 2091 dated 07.12.2002 for violation of Clause 26.1.1 and
26.1.10 of the Certified Standing Order of M/s. BCCL applicable to the employee. The workman participated in the
Domestic Enquiry, where the Disciplinary Authority after conclusion of the proceeding submitted his Enquiry Report
and found Balmukund Sharma guilty of the charges. A second show cause notice was duly sent to the workman and
after careful consideration of the entire proceeding the Disciplinary Authority passed an Order of dismissal of the
workman from service, vide Order Ref. No. 44 dated 16.01.2004. In this regard a Note Sheet was issued by the Agent
of Dahibari Colliery on 28.07.2003 recommending his dismissal. The General manager of Chanch Victoria Area of
M/s. BCCL approved the dismissal and the same was communicated by the Project Officer of Dahibari Colliery.
According to the Management Witness the Project Officer filed an application before this Tribunal under section 33
(2) (b) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 for approval of the dismissal of Balmukund Sharma.
18.
The crux of the issue is whether there had been any change in condition of service of the workman prejudice
to his interest due to transfer from Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata Colliery in the post of ‘Fitter Apprentice’ during
the pendency of the Industrial Dispute in Reference case No. 44 of 1999. It may be gathered from the evidence
adduced by the workman in these cases is that he had raised an Industrial Dispute before the Assistant Labour
Commissioner (Central), Asansol- II for his regularization to the post of Lamp Issue Clerk w.e.f. 03.01.1996,
complaining that he was being diverted to his original job during pendency of such dispute, the Assistant Labour
Commissioner (Central), Asansol-II by his letter no. 11(58)/97-E-3 dated 02.07.1997 (Ext.W-6) requested the Agent
of Victoria West Colliery of M/s. BCCL to maintain status-quo and allow the workman to work as Lamp Issue Clerk
till finalization of the matter. The Affidavit-in-chief of the Management Witness -1 reveals that on the basis of
Memorandum of Settlement in Form ‘H’ Balmukund Sharma was transferred from Victoria West Colliery of M/s.
BCCL to Dahibari Colliery and was allowed to resume his duty as a ‘Fitter Apprentice’ w.e.f. 16.01.2001. Thereafter,
Balmukund Sharma was again transferred from Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata Colliery in the same post, i.e. ‘Fitter
Apprentice’ w.e.f. 12.09.2002 and was released on 16.09.2002.
19.
Mr. P. K. Das, learned advocate for M/s. BCCL argued that at the time of his transfer from Victoria West
Colliery to Dahibari Colliery and then to Basantimata Colliery, the workman was in the post of ‘Fitter Apprentice’.
Therefore, his transfer in the same post of Fitter Apprentice to a different colliery did not result in any change of his
service condition to his prejudice. It is argued that the action of the workman in not complying the order of transfer by
his higher authority resulted in violation of Clause 26.1.1 and 26.1.10 of the Certified Standing Order and his
absence form duty without sufficient cause amounted to misconduct. Due to non-compliance of the Office Order
dated 12.09.2002 (Ext.M-1) a Charge Sheet dated 07.12.2002 (Ext.M-2) was issued to the workman and a Domestic
Enquiry was started against him. The charged employee participated in the Enquiry. After issuing second Show cause
notice dated 01.07.2003 to the workman disclosing the findings of Enquiry Proceeding against him (Ext.M-7) the
Appointing Authority approved the proposal for dismissal and an Order of Dismissal from service was issued against
the workman (Ext.W-18). Learned advocate relied upon the Enquiry Report (Ext.M-5), the Note Sheet dated
28.07.2003 (Ext.M-6), and the Letter of Dismissal dated 09/16.01.2004 (Ext.W-18) issued to Balmukund Sharma. It
1130
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
is strenuously argued on behalf of M/s. BCCL that the procedure adopted by the Management of the Company against
the workman for his misconduct and unauthorized absence from duty has been well proved and there is no illegality
in the Order of Dismissal issued against him.
20.
Mr. Manoj Mukherjee, learned advocate representing the workman, in reply argued that in compliance with
the settlement dated 16.01.2001 reached amongst the workman, representative of the Union and, representative of the
Management Balmukund Sharma was transfer from Victoria West Colliery of M/s. BCCL to Dahibari Colliery as a
‘Fitter Apprentice’. He joined Dahibari Colliery as a Fitter Apprentice on protest as an Industrial Dispute relating to
his regularisation to the post of Lamp Issue Clerk was pending. Eventually Balmukund Sharma was transferred from
Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata Colliery on 12.09.2002 (Ext.W-11). Learned advocate argued that since an
Industrial Dispute was pending transfer of Balmukund Sharma to an inferior post amounted to alteration of his
condition of service applicable to him immediately before the commencement of the Industrial Dispute and the
same was prejudicial to the interest of the workman. Learned advocate argued that alteration of such condition of
service could be effected only on obtaining expressed permission, of the Authority in writing, before which the
Industrial Dispute is pending. In the present case no such permission was sought for before the Tribunal, before
passing the Order of Transfer dated 12.09.2002. Learned advocate relied upon the reply received on the basis of R.T.I.
Application from Mines Safety Director, Area No. 2, Dhanbad dated 17.02.2020 (Ext.W-20) which disclose that
Dahibari Colliery was not closed i.e. on 17.02.2020 and that Dahibari Colliery was an open cast project. Learned
advocate argued that even at the time of closure of Dahibari Colliery other staff members were retained and they were
working at Dahibari Colliery. Therefore, Balmukund Sharma should not have been transfer from Dahibari Colliery
during the pendency of the Industrial Dispute.
21.
Learned advocate for the workman further argued that the Charge Sheet issued against the workman (Ext.W-
12) and the Domestic Enquiry held in consequence thereof which led to dismissal of the workman is unjustified and
illegal as the Order of Dismissal was issued by the Project Officer of Dahibari Colliery (Ext. W-18) who is not the
Appointing Authority. It is argued by learned advocate that the Order of Dismissal of the workman was
disproportionate to the gravity of his charge levelled as such same is liable to be set aside and the application for
approval of such dismissal filed by the Management is liable to be dismissed. Learned advocate for the workman
asserted that in the Industrial Dispute in Reference No. 44 of 1999 having been decided in favour of Balmukund
Sharma for regularizing his service w.e.f. 03.01.1996, the change in condition of service caused by the Order of
Transfer dated 12.09.2002 is a clear violation of provisions under section 33 (1) of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947.
Therefore, the Order of Transfer dated 12.09.2002 is required to be set aside. It is further submitted that Balmukund
Sharma having attained the age of superannuation on 31.10.2020 necessary order may be passed for payment of his
back wages for the period during which he has been wrongfully dismissed.
22.
Having considered the rival contentions and traversing the evidence adduced by the workman as well as the
Award passed in Reference No. 44 of 1999 dated 16.02.2017 for regularization to the post of Lamp Issue Clerk,
Clerical Grade -III, it appears to me that the issue of regularisation has been set at rest in Writ petition No. 25941 (W)
of 2017. In Award dated 16.02.2017 the Management of Victoria West Colliery of M/s. BCCL was directed to
regularise Balmukund Sharma, Fitter Apprentice as Lamp Issue Clerk Clerical Grade-III w.e.f. 03.01.1996. This order
has remained un-interfered in Writ petition No. 25941 (W) of 2017 disposed of by the Hon’ble High Court at Calcutta
on 11.06.2018 (Ext.W-5).
23.
Evidence on record establish that the workman had joined his service in the year 1990 as Underground
Loader and was subsequently re-designated as Fitter Apprentice in 1991. Since, August 1991 he remained designated
as a ‘Fitter Apprentice’ till 12.09.2002 at the time of his transfer from Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata. On
03.01.1996 he was allowed to perform the duty of Lamp Issue Clerk at Victoria West Colliery of M/s. BCCL.
Certificates and letters of authorization were issued in favour of Balmukund Sharma since 03.01.1996 to 29.12.1997
for performing the work of Lamp Issue Clerk but no order of promotion / regularisation was passed. Therefore, no
legal right accrued in favour of Balmukund Sharma to be treated in the post of Lamp Issue Clerk at the time of
issuance of the transfer order dated 12.09.2002. From the evidence of Mr. Brajanath Banerjee MW-1 it is palpably
clear that in Memorandum of Settlement in Form ‘H’, the workman had agreed to join as Fitter Apprentice at
Dahibari Colliery on transfer from Victoria West Colliery of M/s. BCCL on 16.01.2001 and he was again transferred
from Dahibari Colliery to Basantimata Colliery on 12.09.2002. This statement of Management Witness -1 has not
been refuted. It is argued on behalf of the workman that these transfers and settlements were consistent attempts on
the part of Management to subvert the workman’s claim for regularization to the post of Lamp Issue Clerk which he
held before the transfer.
24.
From the attending facts and admitted position, I have no hesitation to hold that at the time of issuance of the
order of transfer on 12.09.2002 Balmukund Sharma’s right to the post of Lamp Issue Clerk was not formally
approved by the Management and his claim to be treated in the higher post did not accrue in his favour. It is a
fundamental duty of a workman to obey and carry out the orders of higher Authority, who control function of the
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1131
industry. If the workman unilaterally seeks to take his own decision in the matter of his functioning in the industrial
establishment, he would only create disharmony, amounting to his misconduct.
25.
In the present case Exhibit Ext.W-8 and Ext.M-8, the Memorandum of Settlement dated 16.01.2001 reveals
that Shri B. M. Sharma, Fitter Apprentice, Victoria West Colliery was earlier chargesheeted for his unauthorized
absence from 04.06.1999 to 09.09.1999 without any information and sufficient cause. The employee was found
guilty of the charge and his dismissal was recommended. However, leniency was shown to him and issue
was resolved by allowing him to join as Fitter Apprentice at Dahibari Colliery.
26.
The workman thereafter has challenged his order of transfer dated 12.09.2002 under section 33 A of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, alleging that by such impugned order of transfer, condition of his service relating to
matter connected with the Industrial Dispute had been changed to his prejudice and no express permission was
obtained by the Management of the Company before his transfer to Basantimata Colliery. On threadbare evaluation of
facts and the law involved I hold that the order passed on 12.09.2002, ordering transfer of Balmukund Sharma to the
‘Fitter Apprentice’ did not amount to any change in condition of his service connected with the Industrial Dispute in
Reference case no. 44 of 1999. The workman ought to have complied the lawful order of higher Authority in
accordance with the Standing Order applicable to him. Therefore, no expressed permission was required for
transferring the workman along one hundred and forty-nine (149) other workmen due to closure of the mine. The
workman cannot be permitted to dictate his own terms and remain absent as it would be counterproductive to the
industry where he is employed. Such act of a workman is paradoxical to the object of an industry. Furthermore, the
information provided on the basis of R.T.I. application (Ext.W-20/1) does not establish if Dahibari Colliery was
functional in September, 2002. In this regard it is appropriate to refer to the provision of section 33 (2) (a) of
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which lays down that, during the pendency of any such proceeding in respect of an
industrial dispute, the employer may, in accordance with the standing orders applicable to a workman concerned in
such dispute or terms of the contract alter in regard to any matter not connected with the dispute, the conditions of
service applicable to that workman immediately before the commencement of such proceeding and section 33 (2) (b)
of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 provides that for any misconduct not connected with the dispute, discharge or
punish the workman by dismissal or otherwise, provided he has been paid wages for one month and an application has
been made by the employer to the Authority before which the proceeding is pending for approval.
27.
The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of M/s. Jaipur Zilla Sahakari Bhoomi Vikas Bank Ltd vs. Ram
Gopal Sharma and others; 2002 (92) FLR 667 (SC) held that:
“6.
Answer to the question on which conflicting decisions are rendered, as noticed above, depends on a
fair reading and proper interpretation of Section 33(2)(b) of the Act. Prior to the amendment of 1956, provision
contained in Section 33 corresponded to the present Section 33(1) only. The object behind enacting Section 33, as it
stood before it was amended in 1956, was to allow continuance of industrial proceedings pending before any
authority/court/tribunal prescribed by the Act in a peaceful atmosphere undisturbed by any other industrial dispute.
In course of time, it was felt that unamended Section 33 was too stringent for it placed a total ban on the right of the
employer to make any alteration in conditions of service or to make any order of discharge or dismissal even in cases
where such alteration in conditions of service or passing of an order of dismissal or discharge, was not in any
manner connected with the dispute pending before an industrial authority. It appears, therefore, that Section 33 was
amended in 1956 permitting the employer to make changes in conditions of service or to discharge or dismiss an
employee in relation to matters not connected with the pending industrial dispute. At the same time, it seems to have
been felt that there was need to provide some safeguards for a workman who may be discharged or dismissed during
the pendency of a dispute on account of some matter unconnected with the dispute. This position is clear by reading
re- drafted expanded Section 33 in 1956 containing five sub-sections. For the present purpose, we are concerned with
the proviso to Section 33(2)(b).
The material and relevant portion of Section 33 reads :
"Conditions of service, etc. to remain unchanged under certain circumstances during pendency of proceedings. --
(1)..............
(2) During the pendency of any such proceeding in respect of an industrial dispute, the employer may, in accordance
with standing orders applicable to a workman concerned in such dispute or, where there are no such standing order,
in accordance with the terms of the contract, whether express or implied, between him and the workman -
(a) ..........................
(b) for any misconduct not connected with the dispute, discharge or punish, whether by dismissal or otherwise, that
workman;
Provided that no such workman shall be discharged or dismissed, unless he has been paid wages for one month and
an application has been made by the employer to the authority before which the proceeding is pending for approval
of the action taken by the employer.”
1132
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
In view of the above discussion and findings, I hold that the Management of Employer Company has not violated the
provisions of section 33 (1) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 by passing the Order of Transfer dated 12.09.2002 in
respect of Balmukund Sharma during pendency of the Industrial Dispute in Reference case no. 44 of 1999.
Therefore, the Complaint case no. 03 of 2002 under section 33 A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 is devoid of
merit and the same is dismissed on contest. Issue framed is thus decided against the workman.
28.
The other fact of the dispute is whether the Order of Dismissal dated 09/16.01.2004 of Balmukund Sharma
from his service during pendency of the Industrial Dispute, based upon the outcome of Domestic Enquiry is legally
tenable. The workman was chargesheeted for his unauthorized absence from duty and misconduct due to willful
disobedience of the Order of Transfer passed by the higher Authority (Ext.W-12). He participated in the Enquiry
Proceeding and was found guilty of the charge (Ext.W-15). A second Show cause notice was issued by the Agent of
Dahibari Colliery (Ext.W-16). Balmukund Sharma replied to the second Show cause notice on 09.07.2003 (Ext.W-
17). The content of the reply to the second Show cause notice is found to be an expression of his belligerent conduct
that “absenting from duty is not a criminal act as it was a matter of forceful stoppage of work. That any action of the
Management detrimental to the interest of workman would compel him to knock the door of the court of law. Though
the claim of the workman for his regularisation to the post of Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III has been
decided in his favour, his unauthorized absence from duty on his own accord is unacceptable and unjustified. The
workman was appropriately found guilty of misconduct for disobedience of the order of higher authority and violation
of Standing Order. The Enquiry Officer in his report (Ext.W-15) found Balmukund Sharma guilty of both the charges.
In the instant case the Project Officer of Dahibari Colliery communicated his decision to dismiss Balmukund Sharma
from his service by his order dated 09/16.01.2004 (Ext.W-18).
29.
It appears to me that the Project Officer who passed the Order of Dismissal dated 09/16.01.2004 against the
workman is not the appointing authority of the charged employee. Therefore, according to clause 27.2.6 of the
Standing Order applicable to the workman, the Project Officer claiming to be the Disciplinary Authority is not the
competent Authority to dismiss the workman. Though the provision of section 33 (2) (b) of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947 has been satisfied and an application has been made by the Project Officer, Dahibari Colliery, seeking
approval of Management’s decision of dismissal of Balmukund Sharma, same is found not tenable. The Letter of
Appointment of the workman was issued by the General Manager, Chanch Victoria Area of M/s. BCCL (Ext.W-1)
but the Order of dismissal has been issued by the Project Officer and not by the appointing authority. Therefore, the
same cannot be approved. The issue is decided against the Management.
30.
Misconduct and unauthorized absence from duty has been duly proved against the delinquent workman.
Misconduct and insubordination of the workman writs large even in his reply to the second show cause notice. Instead
of expressing his repentance for his adamant conduct his response is defiant to his higher authority. The workman
only appears to be obsessed with the idea that he should have been regularised as a Lamp Issue Clerk and his transfer
to this existing post is done to victimise him. The mitigating circumstance of his subsequent regularisation and
aggravating circumstance of disobedience of order and absence from duty have been weighted but the misconduct tilts
the balance against the workman and makes him liable to some punishment lesser than dismissal from service.
31.
In exercise of the jurisdiction vested under section 11-A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the Tribunal if
satisfied that the order of discharge or dismissal was not justified, may by its award, set aside the order of discharge or
dismissal and direct reinstatement of the workman on such terms and conditions, if any as it thinks fit or give such
other relief to the workman including the award of any lesser punishment in lieu of dismissal as the case may require.
32.
In case of LIC of India vs. R. Dhandapani; 2006 (108) FLR 953 (SC), the Hon’ble Apex Court
considering the purview of the jurisdiction of the Labour Court under section 11-A of the Act opined that merely
because the Labour Court found that the penalty was disproportionate it could not interject with the penalty. The court
observed that while the Court under section 11-A of the Act would exercise such a jurisdiction it should not be open
to criticism that such jurisdiction tends to degenerate into misplaced sympathy, generosity and private benevolence.
33.
In the case of Davalsab Husainsab Mulla vs. North West Karnataka Road Transport Corporation;
2014 (140) FLR 756 (SC), the Hon’ble Supreme Court observed as follows:
“12 ………The Labour Court under section 11-A of the Act is concerned, the exercise of such poser will
always have to be made judicially and judiciously. Under the said provision, wide powers have been vested with
the Labour Court to set aside the punishment of discharge or dismissal and its place award any lesser
punishment. Therefore, high amount of care and caution should be exercised by the Labour Court while invoking the
said discretionary jurisdiction for replacing the punishment of discharge or dismissal. Such exercise of discretion will
have to depend upon the facts and circumstances of each case.”
The past conduct of the workman herein may be derived from Ext.W-8 / Ext.M-8, a Memorandum of Settlement
dated 16.01.2001, which establish that on an earlier occasion Balmukund Sharma was found guilty for his
unauthorized absence from duty from 04.06.1999 to 02.09.1999 without information and he violated the provisions of
clause 26.1.1 and 26.1.15 of the Standing Order. On the basis of the Memorandum of Settlement his period of absence
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1133
was treated as dies-non and he was permitted to join his duty in the same post. The workman did not amend his
conduct but maintained a defiant and disobedient behavior in his workplace. He did not carry out the order of higher
Authority and refused to join his new place of posting on transfer assuming his rights. The charge frame against the
workman has been duly proved and an order of dismissal has been passed against him by the Project Officer, who is
not the Appointing Authority. Hence, the same is unacceptable and disapproved.
34.
In Reference case no. 44 of 1999 by Award dated 16.02.2017, the Management of Victoria West Colliery of
M/s. BCCL was directed to regularise the workman as Lamp Issue Clerk in Clerical Grade -III w.e.f. 03.01.1996 and
to refix his pay which indicates that the workman was not offered the benefit in time. He has remained jobless for
decades and ultimately crossed his age of superannuation. There is no evidence on record to establish that he had
worked for gain at any other place for his livelihood and upkeeping of his family. The Employer who provided the
employment to the workman is equally entitled to ensure that the employee maintained utmost discipline in the
establishment and duly complied the rule and regularisation applicable to the establishment and in the case of proven
misconduct any order of punishment by way of dismissal should be interfered only on exercise of extreme care and
caution. In this case the order for regularisation was passed subsequent to the order of dismissal. In order to give
effect to the order of regularisation passed on 16.02.2017 it would be presumed that the order of dismissal dated
09/16.01.2004 had no effect.
35.
In the case of Strawboard Manufacturing Co. vs. Gobind; 1962 SCR Supl. (3) 618, while dealing with
the contention that if the employer dismisses or discharges a workman and then applies for approval of the action
taken and the Tribunal refuses to approve the action, the workman would be left with no remedy as there is no
provision for reinstatement in section 33(2), it is held that:
“If the tribunal does not approve of the action taken by the employer, the result would be that the action
taken by him would fall and thereupon the workman would be deemed never to have been dismissed or discharged
and would remain in the service of the employer.”
Since a subsequent order of regularisation has been passed, it is to be presumed that the regularisation will have a
cumulative effect and not for a brief period till the order of dismissal.
36.
In light of my above findings, I hold that the order of dismissal of Balmukund Sharma from service passed
by the Management of M/s. BCCL is set aside. This issue in Complaint No. 01 of 2004 is accordingly decided in
favour of the workman, against the Management of M/s. BCCL. On evaluation of the entire evidence on record and
the admitted facts, I hold that the workman having been found guilty of misconduct for disobedience and
unauthorized absence form duty cannot reap the entire benefit of employment for the period he has not rendered any
service to the Employer Company. Therefore, I hold that it would be just, proper and adequate to pay only 30% (thirty
percent) of the wages due to Balmukund Sharma which would accrue in his favour due to his regularisation to the
post of Lamp Issue Clerk, except the period treated as dies-non in the earlier Memorandum of Settlement dated
16.01.2001. The workman herein shall be entitled to his usual retiral dues, if any. 30% (thirty percent) of wages as
stated above and the retiral dues shall be paid within two months from the date of Notification of the Award.
Hence,
ORDERED
An Award be drawn up in favour of the workman, Balmukund Sharma, in terms of the above findings. Let
copies of the Award in duplicate be sent to the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India, New Delhi
for information and Notification.

In the present case, a reference was received from the appropriate Government vide reference
No. L-42012/15/2020 IR(DU) New Delhi dated 15.09.2020 under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A)
of Section 10 of the Act, for adjudication of a dispute, terms of which are as under:
“ Whether the demand of the workman Sh. Manoj Kumar S/o Sh. Rakesh Kumar as raised
through Shramjivi Vikas Union vide letter dated 07.09.2017 that his services have been
terminated w.e.f 17.06.2017 by the management of M/s Sunshine enterprises and if yes, to what
relief is he entitled and what other directions , if any, are necessary in this regard?”
2.
In the reference order, the appropriate Government commanded the parties raising the dispute to file
statement of claim, complete with relevant documents, list of reliance and witnesses with this Tribunal within 15 days
of receipt of the reference order and to forward a copy of such statement of claim to the opposite parties involved in
the dispute. Despite directions so given, claimant opted not to file the claim statement.
3. On receipt of the above reference, notice was sent to the workman as well as the managements. Neither the postal
article sent to the claimant, referred above, was received back nor was it observed by the Tribunal that postal services
remained unserved in the period, referred above. Therefore, every presumption lies in favour of the fact that the
above notice was served upon the claimant. Despite service of the notice, claimant opted to abstain away from the
proceedings. No claim statement was filed on his behalf. Thus, it is clear that the workman is not interested in
adjudication of the reference on merits.

This is an application filed u/s 2- A of the ID Act by the workman against the managements praying a
direction to the managements to reinstate the workman into service with full back wages and all other consequential
benefits.
As per the claim statement the claimant Vikram Singh, was working as a Supervisor of House Keeping under
the mgt. no. 2 from 26.04.2016 to 26.07.2017 and was deputed to work in the Army post building. When he was
discharging his duty to the satisfaction of the employer, suddenly, the mgt. no. 1 and mgt. no. 2 terminated his service
with effect from 26.07.2017. At the time of termination, neither the seniority list was displayed nor any notice of
termination, termination compensation or notice pay was given. The action of the mgt. was in gross violation of the
provisions of the ID Act. All his requests for reinstatement into service were refused by the mgt. Finding no other way
he raised a dispute before the Labour Commissioner where steps were taken for conciliation. But the conciliation
failed and the claimant filed the claim petition before this tribunal.
Notice was sent to both the mgts. but none appeared on behalf of the mgts. When the matter was listed for
filing of w/s by the mgt. the mgt. no. 1 filed w/s denying the claim made by the claimant. At that juncture, the
claimant being physically present made a statement that the mgt. no. 2 has settled the dispute with him and he has
received an amount of Rs. 50,000/- from the said mgt. no. 2 by cheque no. 819596 dt. 06.08.2022 drawn from Canada
Bank dated 11.08.2022. Hence, he has no claim surviving against both the respondents.
In view of the said statement of the claimant and the photocopy of the cheque filed in this record though this
no dispute award is being passed. Hence ordered.
ORDER
The application filed u/s 2 A be and the same is dismissed as the claimant has no dispute against the
Respondent.

AWARD
The Government of India in Ministry of Labour & Employment has referred the present dispute existing
between employer i.e. the management of(i) The General Manager, Bharat Electronics Ltd. Bharat Nager, ,(ii) The
General Secretary, Bharat Electronics Employees Union, Bharat Nagar ,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-
14011/03/2012(IR(DU) dated 05/10/2012 to this tribunal for adjudication to the following effect’;
“Whether the action of management of Bharat Electronics Limited, Ghaziabad, for not
allowing encashment of annual leave (is as being done in other units of BEL) amounts to a
violation of section 9 (A) of the ID Act, 1947 is unjustified? If so, what relief the workmen
are entitled to?”
A reference was received from the appropriate Govt. to adjudicate on the demand of three separate
employees union of Bharat Electronics Ltd, Ghaziabad for payment of PPI for their excellent performance in stead of
very good to the non executive workmen for the year 2011-2012 and to give a finding if the said demand is justified.
The unions filed their claim statement separately. But the common stand taken is that the claimants are the
members of different unions, recognized by the management. The management is a public sector undertaking owned
by the Govt. of India. The persons employed by the management are the employees of the company and their service
conditions are regulated by the various enactments applicable to the management and some settlements arrived
between the management and the employees union. It is also governed under the Bharat Electronics Standing Order
updated till December 2007. The BEL is having altogether nine units functioning across India and the Head Office is
located in Bengaluru. The head office and the units functioning at different places are having their own regulations
governing the service condition of the employees, which by and large is the same. The management is engaged in
production and manufacturing of different delicate electronic equipments and articles to cater the need of the defence
establishments.
In passage of time many employees remained out of the purview of the Bonus Act and thus became deprived
of the incentive in form of Bonus. Series of meetings were held between the management and the representatives of
the union to resolve the issue and ensure fair distribution of the profit among the workers in form of incentives.
Resultantly a settlement was arrived and a memorandum of settlement dt 03/11/2010 was signed for payment of
incentives and a plant performance incentive (PPI) was prepared for the period of three years i.e from 2009 to 2012. It
was decided that the non executive employees existing from the date of coverage of the establishment under the
Bonus Act, but not getting the bonus shall be paid PPI .under the scheme the method of calculation of the incentive
and the manner of payment was envisaged. As per the prevailing practice, after closure of the financial year, the
representatives of the unions were called on 02/04/2012 and congratulated for the outstanding performance of the
unit. Sweets were distributed and it was decided that each non executive worker entitled to PPI shall get Rs 45,100/-
though announced payment was delayed and the unions made repeated demand for the same. The corporate office by
letter dt 06.09.2012, formally communicated about the PPI payable for the year 2011-2012 in which the performance
of Ghaziabad unit was down graded and the PPI payable for 2011-2012 was declared to be 35330/- the union
immediately protested by submitting a written memorandum. But the Bank unilaterally transferred the amount to the
accounts of the eligible employees, which was complained off against the Bank. However the Management did not
buzz from their anti labour activities. Finding no other way out the unions raised a dispute before the labour
commissioner. For the failure in the conciliation proceeding the appropriate Govt. referred the matter for adjudication
in terms of the reference.
Being noticed the management appeared and filed written statement refuting the stand taken by the claimant.
It has been pleaded that PPI for the period 2009-2010,2010-2011 and 2011-2012 are strictly payable strictly in
accordance to the terms of settlement dt 03.11.2010. Following the same the PPI to all the eligible employees was
paid for the period 2011-2012. The settlement dt 03.11.2010 was for full and final settlement of the demand made for
1140
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
the PPI by the unions. After expiry of the settlement dt 03.11.2010, a fresh settlement dt 05.09.2014 was announced
fro the period 2013-2014,2014-2015 and 2015-2016 and the PPI has been paid. The claim thus filed is untenable since
no dispute relating to the amount was raised before accepting the PPI for the period 2013-2014. Hence the
management pleaded for rejection of the claim.
On the rival pleadings the following issues were framed by order dt 11.04.2017.
ISSUES
1- Whether the demand of the unions of Bharat Electronics Ltd , Ghaziabad for payment of PPI for their
excellent performance instead of very good for the non execution for the workmen for the year 2011-2012 is
just and fair? If so effect.
2- If not, to what relief the workmen are entitled to.
The claimants thereafter were called upon to adduce evidence in support of their claim. Several opportunities were
allowed for the purpose and for non appearance of the claimants fresh notices were also issued. Despite that when the
claimants did not turn up, the opportunity for adducing evidence was closed. Thereafter the management was called
upon to adduce evidence. But there being no evidence adduced by the claimants to discharge the burden of proof, the
management expressed that no evidence by the management shall be adduced. Hence evidence was closed, argument
was heard being advanced by the management.
During argument the learned AR for the management submitted that the burden of proof being on the
claimant, they opted not to adduce evidence. Whereas the stand taken in the claim petition has not been substantiated
the stand taken by the management stands un rebutted. Hence the claim be decided against the claimants.
On hearing the argument advanced by the management it is held that the claim advanced by the claimants has
not been established. Hence a no dispute award is to be passed. Hence ordered.
ORDER
The reference be, and the same is answered against the claimants. The claim having not been established,
this no dispute award is passed.
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 (i) The Commissioner, Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD 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-42012/45/2012(IR(DU) dated 09/08/2012 to this tribunal for adjudication to the
following effect’;
“Whether the action of the management of Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) in not
promoting Sh. Surendra Pal Singh S/o Sh. Raj Pal Singh from the post of Malaria Beldar to the
post of Asstt. Malaria Inspector and payment of difference thereof w.e.f. the date his junior Sh.
Prem Singh S/o Sh. Girwar Singh get promoted w.e.f. 12.03.1991 is justified or not? If not what
relief the workman is entitled to and from which date?”
As stated in the claim petition, the workman Surrender Pal had joined the management MCD as a Malaria
Beldar in it’s anti malaria Dept on 01.06.1984 and continued to work as such till 01.10.1985, when his service was
illegally terminated,. Being aggrieved the claimant work man had raised an Industrial Dispute , which was registered
as ID No 636/1992. The Labour court by Award dt 13/12/2002, held the order of termination by the management
illegal. But no order for reinstatement or back wages was passed in that order as the labour court observed that the
workman has already been reinstated by the order of the Hon’ble H C in connection with another matter. The claimant
workman challenged the said award by filing WPC No 12827/2005. The Hon’ble HC of Delhi, in the said WPC, by
order dt 28/10/2005, directed that the claimant shall be paid 25% of the back wages w. e. f. the date of his termination
within six weeks of the date of the order. The said order was challenged by MCD in LPA No 319/2006. But the LPA
was dismissed by order dt 09/11/2006. In the said order the Hon’ble court gave a direction to the management to
reinstate in service on or before 15.12.2006, if not already been reinstated.
In compliance of the said direction of the Hon’ble court, the workman was assigned duty w. e. f. 15.12.2006
and back wages from the date of termination on 01/10/1985 to date of reinstatement on 14.12.2006 was paid @25%
as directed by the Hon’ble court. An order to that effect was passed by the management on 15.12.2006. Thus the
continuity of the service of the claimant was maintained by the orders passed by the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi and
there was no break in his service.
The post of Assistant Malaria Inspector is the next promotional post in the hierarchy of the Malaria Beldars
and carries a much higher pay scale than of Malaria Beldar. In the year 1991, one Shri Prem Singh, s/o Shri Girwar
Singh, who was junior to the claimant being appointed on 02.04.1988, was given promotion to the post of Asst
Malaria Inspector by office order dt 08.03.1991. for the illegal termination of his service in the year 1985, he was
1142
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
deprived of the said promotion in spite of having the eligibility. After his reinstatement with continuity by the order of
the Hon’ble High Court of Delhi, he claimed for promotion and served a demand notice dt 14/06/2010 in this regard,
which was duly received by the Management. But his grievance was not redressed. Hence, he raised an Industrial
Dispute before the conciliation officer, which ended in failure for the non co operation of the management and the
appropriate Govt. referred the matter for adjudication in terms of the reference.
Management appeared and filed written statement stating that the workman had never served any demand
notice on the management stating that an Industrial Dispute exists between the parties. On that ground and for want of
espousal, the claim is not maintainable. It has further been pleaded that the claim is also not maintainable as the
claimant does not possess the requisite qualification for the post of Asst Malaria Inspector as provided under the
Recruitment Rules and promotional Regulations for the post of Asst Malaria Inspector. The claimant as admitted by
him was appointed as Malaria Beldar in the year 1984 and worked for only 58 days i.e from 22/06/1984 to Nov 1984.
Thereafter he worked with the management for 140 days i.e from April 1985 to Sept 1985. The workman was
engaged as a seasonal Maleria Beldar for 4-6 months during the Transmission season only and was never appointed as
a regular employee qualifying for the promotion to the post of Asst Malaria Inspector. The management has denied
that a person junior to the workman was promoted w. e. f.13.03.1991. It has been explained that Prem Singh the
person named by the claimant workman was a regular seasonal Malaria Beldar and got promotion to the post of Asst
Malaria Inspector on 12 03. 1991, where as the claimant was regularized in service only in the year 2006 as per court
order. After that he was considered for promotion to the post of Superior Field Worker and then Asst Malaria
Inspector in due course. He will be promoted as the Asst Malaria Inspector in due course on fulfilling the requisite
qualification as provided under the existing Recruitment Rules. Hence management has prayed for dismissal of the
claim.
The claimant filed rejoinder that Industrial Dispute was properly espoused and a copy of the espousal
proceeding has been filed. It has been further stated that the workman was never appointed as temporary seasonal
Malaria Beldar. For the illegal termination of his service there was a break in service which was later on regularized
by the order of the Hon’ble High Court. For no fault on his part, he was deprived of the promotion. He has denied the
stand of the management that the work man is required to be promoted as a SFW first and then to the post of Asst
Malaria Inspector.
On these rival pleadings the following issues were framed for adjudication.
ISSUES
1- whether the action of the Management of MCD in not promoting Surender Pal Singh from the post of
Malaria Beldar to the post of Asst Malaria Inspector and payment of the difference thereof w. e. f. the date
his junior Prem Singh was promoted i.e from 12.03.1991 is justified or not. If so effect.
2- To what relief the workman is entitled to and effect.
The claimant examined himself as WW1 and proved the documents marked in a series of Ext WW1/1 to
WW1/25. The Gen Secretary of the Union of which the claimant is a member has been examined as WW2. He has
proved the espousal by filing the document to that effect already marked as WW1/15.
On behalf of the management, the Deputy Health Officer Dr Ajay Kumar testified as MW 1. He also proved
certain documents marked in a series of MW1/1 to MW1/3.
During course f argument the learned AR for the management submitted that the claim advanced by the
claimant for promotion citing the case of Prem Singh is baseless as both of them do not stand in the same footing.
More over the claimant was appointed as a regular employee in the year 2006, by the order of the Hon’ble High Court
of Delhi. Thus he is to be governed as per the recruitment Rule in vogue then. He also argued that the claim is not
maintainable for want of espousal and the claim has become infractuous as the claimant has already been promoted to
the post of Asst Malaria Inspector which he accepted without any objection. The counter argument of the AR for the
claimant is that the management being the employer, is in possession of all the relevant papers and the recruitment
Rules and circular. The management, thus has to prove that the claimant was not appointed in the year 1985 on
regular basis or he was a seasonal temporary Malaria Beldar and was made regular in the year 2006, for the order of
the Hon’ble High Court. Not only that the management has to prove that Prem Singh was a permanent seasonal
Beldar appointed in 1988. He also argued that the evidence adduced by the claimant properly proves his claim. But
management has failed to prove the stand taken in the WS.
Be it stated here that no issue has been framed on the maintainability of the proceeding on absence of
espousal. On the contrary the claimant by examining WW2 and producing the document Ext WW1/15, has proved the
espousal for raising the Industrial Dispute. Hence the only point that remains for decision is if the claim advanced by
the claimant for his promotion with retrospective effect with consequential benefits is maintainable or not.
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1143
FINDINGS
The claimant has stated that he was appointed as a Malaria Beldar in the management on 01/06/1984 and his
service was terminated illegally on 01.10.1985. His termination was held to be illegal by the award of the labour court
passed in ID No 636/1992. But for the order passed by the Hon’ble HC of Delhi, he was reinstated in to service on
15.12.2006 and 25%of the back wage was given to him as arrear from the date of termination i.e 01/10/1985 to
14.12.2006. The claimant while deposing as WW1 has reiterated the same. It is also admitted that by the
management that pursuant to the order passed by the Hon’ble H C in WPC No 12827/2005, the claimant was
reinstated to service on 15.12 2006 with 25% back wage s from the date of termination.
The claimant has asserted that the termination was held illegal and the management allowed him continuity
of service from the date of the said illegal termination by allowing 25%back wages as directed by the HC. Hence he is
entitled to all other consequential benefits including promotion to the post of Asst Malaria Inspector from the date on
which his junior Prem Singh was promoted. The management has denied this assertion of the claimant on the ground
that Prem Singh was not junior to the claimant as Prem Singh was appointed as a regular beldar, where as the
claimant was appointed as a temporary seasonal malaria beldar. The witness Dr. Ajay Kumar examined by the
management has stated that the claimant does not stand on same footing with Prem Singh appointed as a regular
Malaria Beldar. This statement of the witness stands contrary to the pleading in the WS where management has
admitted that Prem Singh was appointed as a regular seasonal malaria beldar. The witness has tried to draw a line
between the claimant and Prem Singh by saying that the claimant was a seasonal Malaria Beldar and Prem Singh was
a regular seasonal malaria beldar. It has not been explained by the management what is the difference between
seasonal Malaria Beldar and regular seasonal Malaria Beldar, when the word seasonal refers to the work done during
a particular season and a person engaged for seasonal work, how can be treated as a regular employee.
On the contrary, the claimant, while deposing as a witness has filed the photocopy of the office order of the
Management dt 11/05/1988 marked as Ext WW1/9, which is the appointment order of Prem Singh on 11/05/1988 as
the Malaria Beldar on temporary basis. The management has admitted that the claimant was appointed as temporary
Malaria Beldar on 01/06/1984 and he was granted back wages from 01/10/1985 to 14/12 2006 and reinstated in to
service on 15.12.2006, which means the claimant was senior to Prem Singh on the basis of the date of appointment
and his service continuity was maintained by the order of the court, though he was not in service for some time on
account of his illegal termination. The other document filed by the claimant as Ext WW1/10 and WW1/12, which are
the office order of the management giving promotion to Prem Singh and several others on 08/03/1991 from Malaria
Beldar to Asst Malaria Inspector. WW1/11 is the joining letter dt 12 .03. 1991 of Prem Singh.
The management while explaining the situation has stated that for promotion to the post of Asst Malaria
Inspector the requisite qualification is High School Certificate pass and Sanitary Inspector Diploma. The claimant
was not possessing the requisite qualification. Hence he was not considered. MW1 who is the Deputy Health Officer
of the Management has stated during cross examination that the claimant has been promoted to the post of Asst
Malaria Inspector on 10/08/2017, when he acquired the requisite qualification. To support his contention, the copy of
the Asst Malaria Inspector Recruitment Regulation 2009, which came in to force on 16 th Feb 2010 has been filed as
Ext Mw 1/2. The witness added that for filling up the posts, 30% shall be considered from the feeder cadre and the
persons to be considered are the SFW worked for 11 years continuously in the grade pay of 800/- hence no illegality
was meted out to the claimant.
But on behalf of the claimant argument was advanced that in the year 1991 when the junior of the claimant
was promoted the regulation of 2009 was not in force and as per the earlier regulation, there was no prescribed
qualification for the promotion to the post of Asst Malaria Inspector. The old regulation which was in force in the
year 1991 has been filed by the claimant. As per the said notification dt 12.08.1985, which is with regard to the
Recruitment and promotion to the post of Asst Malaria Inspector, no educational qualification has been prescribed for
the in service candidates, where as matriculation pass was the requisite qualification for direct recruitment.
On careful perusal of the oral and documentary evidence filed by the parties, it is held that, had the claimant
not been illegally terminated in the year 1985, he would have been considered for promotion in the year 1991, when
the junior to him Prem Singh was promoted on 13.03.1991 as both the claimant and Prem Singh stand in the same
footing. It is a fact to be noticed that the promotion order of Prem Singh marked as WW1/12, nowhere mentions the
qualification of the persons promoted as the same was not a required criterion as per the Regulation for Promotion
and Recruitment of Asst Malaria Inspector, notified on 12.08.1985. The Regulation of 2009 is not applicable to the
claimant, as his service continuity was maintained from 1985 by the order of the High Court and he is eligible for
promotion since 1991, but for the illegal termination in the year 1985. The stand of the management that the
regulation 2009 is applicable to the claimant and he was ignored for lack of requisite qualification is not acceptable.
Hence ordered.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
ORDER
The reference be and the same is answered in favour of the claimant. It is held that the decision of the
management in not promoting the claimant Sh. Surender Pal Singh S/O Rajpal Singh to the post of Asst Malaria
Inspector is illegal.it is directed that the management shall give promotion to the claimant to the post of Asst Malaria
Inspector i.e. the date 12.03.1991, when his junior Sh. Prem Singh was promoted as Asst Malaria Inspector and grant
him the financial and all other service benefits attached to that post from the date of promotion. Since the claimant has
been given promotion as SFW and Asst Malaria Inspector during the intervening period, the financial benefits

1.
On receipt of the above reference dtd. 04.01.2021 from the appropriate Government, the dispute
was registered as ID No. 9/2021 and due notices were issued to both the parties for their appearance fixing the
case to 01.04.2021. Neither the General Secretary / Authorized Representative nor any adjourned for the
purpose intervening several adjournments (almost 7 adjournments till 20.01.2021). The Petitioner's Counsel’

2.
File Claim Statement and the case was listed to 14.03.2021. The Petitioner did not turn up resulting
further 5 adjournments. The Petitioner, the General Secretary of the 1st Party Union did not turn up. However,

manner available to him. Even then the case was posted 30.11.2022. On that day neither the General Secretary

AWARD
In exercise of powers conferred under clause (d) of Sub-section (1) and Sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947), Govt. of India through the Ministry of Labour, vide its Order
No. L-26011/15/2017-IR(M) dated 25.08.2017 has been pleased to refer the following dispute between the employer,
that is the Management of M/s. Durgapur Steel Plant and their workmen for adjudication by this Tribunal.
SCHEDULE
“ Whether the action of the Management of Durgapur Steel Plant, Durgapur of imposing the water
charges and diet charges unilaterally is legal and justified? If not, what relief the workman is entitled
to? ”
1.
On receiving Order No. L-26011/15/2017-IR(M) dated 25.08.2017 from the Government of India, Ministry
of Labour, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute, a Reference case No. 12 of 2017 was registered on 13.09.2017
and an order was passed issuing notice to the parties through registered post, directing them to appear and submit their
written statements along with relevant documents in support of their claims and a list of witnesses. Both parties
appeared before the Tribunal through their authorized representatives.
2.
Mr. Madhab Banerjee, learned advocate for M/s. Durgapur Steel Plant appeared and filed a Xerox copy of
letter issued by the Joint Secretary, Hindustan Steel Workers’ Union dated 22.12.2022 addressed to the Chief General
Manager (P&A) and HRD, SAIL / DSP and ASP. On 10.03.2023 at 12.10 PM on repeated calls none appeared for the
workman who raised this dispute through Hindustan Steel Workers’ Union (INTUC).
3.
Initially a written statement was submitted on behalf of the workmen contending that they want protection of
existing benefits. Therefore, imposing water charges and diet charges by the Management of M/s. Durgapur Steel
Plant curtailed the existing benefits which cannot be permitted under the established laws. The Union relied upon
decision by the Hon’ble High Court at Delhi, passed in Writ Petition No. 1137/1999, in the case of Pradeep Kumar
Gupta vs P.O. Labour Court and Another, wherein it was observed that: “ Therefore, obviously a notice of change
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1159
was a must before introducing the change, otherwise it would be an illegal change. Any such illegal change invites a
penalty u/s 31(2) of the I. D. Act, 1947. Such a change which is punishable as a criminal offence would obviously be
an illegal change. It must be held that without anything more such an illegal change would be wholly ineffective.”
4.
On perusal of the communication dated 22.12.2022 it appears to this Tribunal that the concerned union has
examined the issues involved in the above dispute and is now of the view that revision of water charges in the
Township and diet charges in DSP Main Hospital is not unreasonable. The dispute raised by the Union therefore does
not subsist. The concerned Union does not want to pursue the Reference Case No. 12 of 2017 pending before The
C.G.I.T. -cum- L.C., Asansol. Though no joint application has been filed by the Union and the Management of M/s.
Durgapur Steel Plant before this Tribunal regarding settlement of dispute, the workmen represented by Hindustan
Steel Workers’ Union, in letter dated 22.12.2022 addressed to the Chief General Manager (P&A) and HRD, SAIL /
DSP and ASP has foregone their claim and are not inclined to proceed further. Reference case is accordingly
dismissed in the form of a No Dispute Award.
Hence,
ORDERED
that a No Dispute Award be drawn up in respect of the above Reference. Let copies of the Award in
duplicate be sent to the Ministry of Labour and Employment, Government of India, New Delhi for information and

AWARD
This is an application filed u/s 2- A of the ID Act by the workman against the managements praying
a direction to the managements to reinstate the workman into service with full back wages and all other
consequential benefits.
As per the claim statement on 02.07.2014 the claimant Jagdish Prasad, was recruited as a Security
Guard by Air Port Authority of India and posted at Safdarjung Airport New Delhi. His last drawn salary was
24,152/- per month. In order to deprive the claimant of his lawful rights the management no.1 showed him as
an employee of contractor i.e. management no. 2 and management no. 3, with whom management no.1 has
entered into a sham contract. Neither the management no. 1 is registered under the CLRA nor the so called
contractors are having licence for engagement of contract labour. Thus the contract between management no.
1, management no.2 and management no. 3 was sham. The claimant was discharging his duty sincerely but
the mgt., in violation of the provisions of ID Act illegally terminated his service since he was often
demanding equal pay for equal work, weekly holidays, leave salary, bonus, over time dues etc. Being
aggrieved by the illegal termination, the claimant served a demand notice on the mgt. But the mgt. did not
reply to his notice. Finding no other way the claimant raised an industrial dispute before the conciliation
officer for which a conciliation proceeding was initiated. For the adamant attitude of the mgt. the conciliation
failed and the claimant came of with the present application seeking the relief of reinstatement with all
consequential benefits and continuity of service.
1162
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
The mgts. though noticed did not appeared and thus, by order dated 14.12.2021 all the mgts. were
proceeded ex-parte.
The claimant examined himself as WW1 and produced the documents which have been marked in a
series of exhbt. WW1/1 to WW1/5. These documents include the salary details paid to the claimant on
different dates by mgt. no. 2 the photocopy of the bank pass book showing deposit of his salary by mgt. no.
2, photocopies of the cheques issued to the claimant by mgt. no.2. In addition to this, the claimant has also
filed the representation made by him to the mgt. no. 1 ventilating his grievance for illegal termination. In his
sworn testimony the claimant has stated that the mgt. while terminating this service had neither served the
notice of the termination nor paid termination compensation or notice pay. Thus there was gross violation of
the provisions of ID Act. It has also been stated that he had served for the mgt. no. 1 and there exists
employer and employee relationship between them. Hence the mgt. no. 1 is liable to pay the relief as prayed
by him as the principal employer.
This evidence of the claimant stands uncontroverted and unrebutted. During course of arguments
the ld. A/R for the claimant submitted that the claimant has successfully proved his relation as the employee
of mgt. no. 1 and circumstance clearly proves violation of section 25 F of the Id Act. Hence, the mgt. no. 1
be directed to reinstate the claimant into service. To support his contention he relied upon the case of Sachiv,
Krishi Upaj Mandi Samiti, Sanawad vs. Mahendra Kumar 2004 LLR 405, and argued that when the
termination falls under the category of violation of Section 25 F of the Id Act, the workman is entitled to
reinstatement and full back wages.
As stated in the previous paragraph the oral and documentary evidence of the claimant has remained
unchallenged. But the said evidence only proves that the employment of the claimant was under mgt. no. 2
i.e. Shakti Anand Security Agency who was paying him salary. There is absolutely no evidence to believe
that the claimant was working under the supervision and control of mgt. no. 1. Hence, it is felt that the mgt.
no. 2 is liable to grant the relief to the claimant for the illegal termination of the service. Hence Orderd.
ORDER
The claim be and the same is allowed. It is held that the service of the claimant was illegally
terminated by mgt. no. 2 in gross violation of the provisions of Section 25 F and 25 G of the ID Act. For
such illegal termination the mgt. no. 2 is directed to reinstate the claimant into service with his last drawn
wage within one month from the date of publication of the awar5d and shall maintain continuity of his
service and grant him the full back wages from the date of termination of service that is from 01.10.2019 till
the reinstatement is effected. In addition to this the m2 that is Shakti Anand Security Agency shall also pay
25000/ to the claimant towards litigation expenses. This amount along with the back wages shall be paid to
the claimant without interest within the time stipulated as above, failing which the amount shall carry interest
at the rate of 6 per cent per annum from the date of accrual and till the final payment is made.
Send a copy of this award to the appropriate government for notification as required under section
17 of the ID act 1947.

AWARD
In the present case, a reference was received from the appropriate Government vide reference no. D-
844/RD/2020/05/IRDDN, Dehradun dated 27.02.2020 under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of
Section 10 of the Act, for adjudication of a dispute, terms of which are as under:
“ Whether the act of terminating the service of Sh. Mukesh Kumar, engaged by M/s Rajendra &
Savitri Security Services (Regd.) Dehradun in the Estb. of M/s National Insurance Co. Ltd.
Dehradun for performing multi tasking service is legal, fair and justified?
Whether the workman is entitled for reinstatement / regularization of his service in the said Estb. as usual? If
not, what relief / remedies, the concerned workman is entitled to ?”
2.
In the reference order, the appropriate Government commanded the parties raising the dispute to file
statement of claim, complete with relevant documents, list of reliance and witnesses with this Tribunal within 15 days
of receipt of the reference order and to forward a copy of such statement of claim to the opposite parties involved in
the dispute. Despite directions so given, claimant opted not to file the claim statement.
3. On receipt of the above reference, notice was sent to the workman as well as the managements. Neither the postal
article sent to the claimant, referred above, was received back nor was it observed by the Tribunal that postal services
remained unserved in the period, referred above. Therefore, every presumption lies in favour of the fact that the
above notice was served upon the claimant. Despite service of the notice, claimant opted to abstain away from the
proceedings. No claim statement was filed on his behalf. Thus, it is clear that the workman is not interested in
adjudication of the reference on merits.
4. Since the workman has neither put his appearance nor has he led any evidence so as to prove his cause against the
management, this Tribunal is left with no choice, except to pass a ‘No Dispute/Claim’ award. Let this award be sent
to the appropriate Government, as required under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, for publication.

management filed written statement and case was fixed to 09.03.2021 for filing of rejoinder by the claimant workman
(lady) and for filing of documents.
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]

On perusal of the record it is found that though several dates were fixed for filing the rejoinder and
documents and rejoinder by the worker none appeared on behalf of the claimant workman (lady) before this Tribunal.
Despite ample opportunities to the claimant workwoman for submitting rejoinder and documents; the claimant
workwoman failed to present the case before the Tribunal at different stages of proceeding i.e. evidence and
arguments. Pleadings cannot be read as substantive evidence. On 20.10.2022 the case was reserved for final award for
non-appearance of the claimant workwoman (lady).
From the aforesaid circumstances it is presumable that the claimant workman (lady) is not interested in
prosecuting the case further before the Tribunal.
Hence in the given circumstances the reference stands disposed of as of ‘NIL’ award.
Parties are left to bear their respective costs.

AWARD
This award arises in respect of the case raised under section 2A of Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 on
07.08.2018
On filing of the case, notices were issued to both the parties on 14th September 2018. On 7th August 2018,
the statement of claim was filed by the claimant workman before the Tribunal. On the behalf of O.P. management
Authorized Representative appeared and filed the authority letter on the date fixed. Later on 21.01.2021 O.P
management filed written statement and case was fixed for filing rejoinder and documents by the claimant workman.
On perusal of the record it is found that though several dates were fixed for filing the documents and
rejoinder by the worker none appeared on behalf of the claimant workman before this Tribunal. Despite giving ample
opportunities to the claimant workman for submitting rejoinder and documents; the claimant workman failed to
present the case before the Tribunal at different stages of proceedings i.e. evidence and arguments. Pleadings cannot
be read as substantive evidence. On 20.10.2022 the case was reserved for final award for non-appearance of the
claimant workman.
From the aforesaid circumstances it is presumable that the claimant workman is not interested in prosecuting
the case further before the Tribunal.
Hence in the given circumstances the reference stands disposed of as of ‘NIL’ award.

has, in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub –section (2A) of Section 10 of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, referred the following disputes for adjudication to this Tribunal:
SCHEDULE
“Whether the action of the management of State Bank of India, Patna in terminating the services of
the workman on 1st October, 1983 and not considering him for re-employment before appointing fresh
hands like Sri Ram Chandra Bhagat, Sri Randir Kumar, Sri Rajesh Kumar Mahto, Sri Arun Kumar
Patel, Sri Sudama Prasad, Sri Bhuneshwar Kumar, Sri Ganesh Thakur and Sri Ram Swarup Rai is
justified. If not to what relief the workman is entitled?”
2.
The Tribunal in this matter has passed an award on 27/02/2015 holding that on considering the facts and
circumstances of this case, this Tribunal orders the workman be taken immediately as daily wager, and be saved from
starvation and the management is directed to regularize him in any lowest grade within three months from the date of
publication of the award in Gazette of India.
3.
The State Bank of India, Sahebganj, Chapra Prasad being aggrieved by the said award filed a writ petition
bearing CWJC No. 16149 of 2015 before the Hon’ble High Court of Patna. The Hon’ble High Court of Patna has
been pleased to set aside the said award dated 27/02/2015 and remanded the matter to the Central Government
Industrial Tribunal-I, Dhanbad for deciding the case on the materials available on record within a period of four
months from the date of receipt/production of a copy of this order, subject to availability of the Presiding Officer.
4.
After production of the order of Hon’ble High Court of Patna passed in CWJC No. 16149 of 2015 on
26/02/2019 sufficient opportunities were given to both the parties and both the parties were heard at length again.
5.
The claim of the concerned workman namely Arun Kumar Prasad as per his written statement is as follows:-
That he had served the State Bank of India, Sarha Agriculture Market Yard, Sarha, Chapra, under the
management of State Bank of India, Patna from 07/07/1980 to 30/09/1983, regularly without any break. He was
appointed as Messenger on 07/07/1980 and since then he was deputed regularly on job till 01/10/1983. The
management while terminating him had not considered the basic principle of the employment and labour engagement.
He had requested several times to the management for his regularisation against the post which he was working but
the concerned management without considering his claim terminated him from the service on 01/10/1983. He had
served the management continuously for more than three years, without any break and he had worked for more than
240 days in a calendar year on casual basis, so he is eligible for the regularisation in service. He had been victimised
by the management and the management had violated the principles of regulation. The management had appointed
fresh hands like Ram Chandra Bhagat, Randhir Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Mahto, Arun Kumar Patel, Sudama Prasad,
Bhuneshwar Kumar, Ganesh Thakur and Ram Swarup Rai and had ignored his legitimate claim of appointment. The
management had on many occasions regularised the worker who had worked for more than 240 days in a year, so he
is entitled for regularisation of service. He has got full right to be regularised on the post since 07/07/1980.
He has made prayer for passing an Award for his regularisation with full back wages.
6.
On the other hand the case of the management as per its written statement is as follows:-
That this reference is bad in law and as such it is not maintainable. The claim of the workman is frivolous
baseless and unfounded. The dispute raised is stale claim in as much dispute has been raised after a long gap of 20
years. The concerned workman had worked as casual worker temporarily on daily wages @ Rs. 3.00 per day between
22/07/1980 to 20/09/1980 for a period of 46 days for a daily petty jobs as and when required. The concerned
workman has worked for 9 days in July 1980, 25 days in August 1980 and 12 days in September 1980. The concerned
workman had not continuously worked for the period from 07/07/1980 to 30/09/1983. The concerned workman had
inserted his name as a messenger for the subsequent period in the peon books just in order to lay a false claim. The
concerned workman was not engaged after September 1980 by the management. The management had published an
advertisement in news paper on 01/05/1991 for consideration of absorption of eligible candidates from daily wage
workers/ex-temporary workers for giving them opportunity for absorption in Bank permanent service and the
concerned workman had not submitted any application for such absorption, so his case was not considered and other
ex-temporary workers who had applied against the said advertisement their cases were considered by the
management. The concerned workman never represented for regularisation before the management and there was no
occasion of ignoring his claim. The concerned workman is entitled for appointment against the post of messenger as
he had not applied against the advertisement in the year 1991 whereas the other persons Ram Chandra Bhagat,
Ramdhan Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Mahto, Arun Kumar Patel, Sudama Prasad, Bhuneswar Kumar, Ganesh Prasad and
Ram Swarup Rai had applied for appointment and they were observed. The concerne workman had never worked for
more than three years and he had raised this frivolous claim after 20 years, so it is a stale dispute.
A prayer has been made to pass an Award in favour of the management.
1170
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
The management by way of rejoinder has stated that the statement made in Para 1of the written statement of
workman is matter of record, the statement made in Para 3 of the written statement of workman is not correct, the
statement made in Para 4 and 5 of the written statement of workman it is submitted that there is no case of
regularisation of the concerned workman against any post, the statement made in Para 6 of the written statement of
workman it is submitted that the issues are framed after w/s are filed by both the parties based on the reference made,
the statement made in Para 7 of the written statement of workman it is submitted that the concerned workman had
neither served for more than three years as alleged nor he has any right to be regularised in any post.
7.
The concerned workman by way of rejoinder has stated that the statement made in Para 1 to 7, 8, 9, 10, 12
(a), 12(b), 12 (c), 13, 14 to 19, 20 to 26 of the written of the management are not correct, the statement made in Para
11 of the written of the management does not require to any comment and the statement made in Para 12 (d) of the
written statement of management is matter of record.
8.
The concerned workman has examined only one witness. He is WW-1, Arun Kumar Prasad.
The concerned workman has proved the photo copy of Attendance Register which is marked as Exhibit W-1
series. (total 27 pages)
9.
The management has examined two witnesses. They are MW-1, Chhathu Pandit and MW-2, Kameshwar
Baitha.
The management has not proved any documents in support of its case.
10.
The learned lawyer of the concerned workman has submitted that he was engaged by the Branch Manager of
the State Bank of India on 07/07/1980 and he had continuously worked without break till 30/09/1983. He has also
submitted that the services of concerned workman was terminated in violation of the mandatory provision of Section
25 F of the I.D. Act as he had worked for 240 days in each and every year. He has also submitted that as per section
25 F of I.D. Act no management can terminate the services of workman without giving one month notice or notice
pay in lieu of notice with retrenchment compensation. He has further argued that after illegal termination of the
service of the concerned workman the management appointed other persons in violation of section 25H of the I.D.
Act. He has also submitted that the concerned workman had produced several documents to prove his continuous
work in the management which are marked as Exhibit W-1 series, so the termination of the concerned workman is
illegal and not justified.
He has made prayer for reinstatement of the workman with 50% of back wages.
11.
On the other hand the learned lawyer of the management has submitted before the Tribunal that the
concerned workman worked temporarily on daily wages between 22/07/1980 to 20/09/1980 for total period of 46
days as and when required @ Rs. 3.50 per day. He has also submitted that the management had issued advertisement
for permanent absorption of ex-temporary employees who had worked in the Bank between the period 1975 to
31/07/1988 and pursuant to that application in prescribed format were invited from such Ex-temporary employees in
order to consider their permanent absorption in the Bank. He has also argued that in pursuance of the said
advertisement the concerned workman had not submitted his application, so his case as ex-temporary employee was
not considered. He has also submitted that the concerned workman had worked for 46 days only in the month July,
August and September 1980 and he had never worked for 240 days in a calendar year. He has also submitted that the
concerned workman has not proved his appointment against any sanctioned post either on casual or temporary basis
and he had not worked for more than 240 days in a calendar year, so he is not entitled for regularisation of service in
the Bank and consequently the management of Bank has not violated the provision of section 25F and 25H of the I.D.
Act.
He has made prayer to dismiss the claim of the concerned workman.
12.
Now, the only point of circumstances in this case is whether the action of the management of State Bank of
India, Patna in terminating the services of the workman on 1st October, 1983 and not considering him for re-
employment before appointing fresh hands like Sri Ram Chandra Bhagat, Sri Randir Kumar, Sri Rajesh Kumar
Mahto, Sri Arun Kumar Patel, Sri Sudama Prasad, Sri Bhuneshwar Kumar, Sri Ganesh Thakur and Sri Ram Swarup
Rai is justified?
FINDINGS
13.
At the outset of discussion it is required to mention here that it is an admitted fact that the concerned
workman namely Arun Kumar Prasad had been engaged in State Bank of India, Sarha Aggiculture Market Yard,
Sarha, Chapra from 07/07/1980.
14.
Now, the question arises whether the concerned workman had worked for 240 days in a calendar year in the
State Bank of India, Sarha Agriculture Market Yard, Sarha.
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1171
15.
In this regard the most competent witness is WW-1, Arun Kumar Prasad. He has deposed on this point that
he had been engaged by Branch Manager of State Bank of India, Sarha Agricuture Market Yard, Sarha, Chapra
Branch on 07/07/1980 for doing job of messenger and he had worked regularly on payment of Rs. 3.00/- per day. He
has also deposed that he had made prayer for regularisation of his service but the management terminated his service
without any notice and notice pay in lieu of notice and compensation which is violation of Section 25F of the I.D.
Act. He has proved the photo copy of Peon Book of Bank which is marked as Exhibit W-1 series.
In the cross-examination he has deposed that he had not been given appointment letter and his name was not
sponsored by the employment exchange. He has also deposed that he was working there till 30/09/1983 and he was
getting daily wages.
Further the MW-1, Chhathu Pandit has deposed that the concerned workman Arun Kumar Prasad was
neither appointed under due process nor worked at SBI AMY Sarha, Chapra Branch nor he ever applied for his
absorption in the service of Bank despite of he was given opportunity. He has also deposed that the concerned person
was engaged as casual worker temporarily as daily wager as and when required between 22/07/1980 to 20/09/1980 in
Sarha AMY, Chapra Branch of State Bank of India. He has also stated that the concerned workman had not worked
for 240 days regularly in a calendar year, so Bank has not committed any violation of principle of natural justice.
In the cross-examination he has deposed that he had not filed any scheme or instruction in Court. He has
denied the suggestion that the concerned workman had worked for 240 days. He has also deposed that he could not
say whether the workman had received termination letter.
The MW-2, Kameshwar Baitha has deposed that the concerned workman, Arun Kumar Prasad was never
appointed under due process and he had never submitted his application for his appointment/absorption for the service
of SBI/AMY, Sarha, Chapra Branch. He has also deposed that Arun Kumar Prasad was engaged as casual worker on
purely temporary basis and he worked for 46 days during the period between 22/07/1980 to 20/09/1980, so he had not
worked for 240 days in a calendar year.
In the cross-examination he has deposed that he could not say whether the workman was given retrenchment
allowance, at the time of retrenchmen.
16.
Now, coming to the documentary evidence which is Exhibit W-1 series, it is quite apparent that the name of
Arun Kumar was found in the messenger book/peon book of State Bank of India with R.D. Singh since 31/07/1980
and after calculating the days it is found that he had not worked for 240 days in a calendar year of 1980 from July to
December. Further it appears that the name of Arun Kumar Prasad is mentioned in the messenger book till the month
of September 2021 and thereafter his name was not mentioned in the said book. Moreover, after making calculation of
the days of working it is quite apparent that the concerned workman had not discharged the work of 240 days in a
calendar year of 1981in the Bank.
17.
At this stage it is relevant to mention here that the word retrenchment has been defined u/S 2(oo) of the I.D
.Act, definition of continuous service has been mentioned u/s 25-B of ID. Act and the condition precedent to
retrenchment has been mentioned u/S 25 F of I.D Act.
The Section 2(oo) of the I.D.Act reads as follows:-
Section 2(oo) -“retrenchment” means the termination by the employer of the service of a workman for any reason
whatsoever, otherwise than as a punishment inflicted by way of disciplinary action but does not include-
(a)Voluntary retirement of the workman; or
(b) Retirement of the workman on reaching the age of superannuation if the contract of employment between the
employer and the workman concerned contains a stipulation in that behalf; or
(bb) Termination of the service of the workman as a result of the non-renewal of contract of employment between the
employer and the workman concerned on its expiry or of such contract being terminated under a stipulation in that
behalf contained therein; or
(c) Termination of the service of a workman on the ground of continued ill-health.
Section 25B of I.D. Act reads as follows:-
25-B. Definition of continuous service – For the purpose of this Chapter,-
(1) a workman shall be said to be in continuous service for a period if he is, for that period, in uninterrupted service,
including service which may be interrupted on account of sickness or authorized leave or an accident or a strike which
is not illegal, or a lock-out or a cessation of work which is not due to any fault on the part of the workman;
(2) Where a workman is not in continuous service within the meaning of clause (1) for a period of one year or six
months, he shall be deemed to be in continuous service under an employer-
1172
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
(a) for a period one year, if the workman, during a period of twelve calendar months preceding the date with reference
to which calculation is to be made, has actually worked under the employer for not less than –
(i) one hundred and ninety days in the case of a workman employed below ground in a mine; and
(ii) two hundred and forty days, in any other case;
(b)…………………………………..
Further, Section 25F of the I.D. Act reads as follows:-
25-F Conditions precedent to retrenchment of workmen- No workman employed in any industry who has been in
continuous service for not less than one year under an employer shall be retrenched by that employer until-
(a)
The workman has been given one month’s notice in writing indicating the reasons for retrenchment and the
period of notice has expired, or the workman has been paid in lieu of such notice, wages for the period of the notice:
(b)
The workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation which shall be equivalent to fifteen
days’ average pay (for Every completed year of continuous service) or any part thereof in excess of six months; and
(c)
Notice in the prescribed manner is served on the appropriate Government (or such authority as may be
specified by the appropriate Government by notification in the Official Gazette.)
18.
After analyzing all the oral and documentary evidence available on the record the Tribunal comes to
the conclusion that the concerned workman had never discharged his duty of continuous services for 240 days in a
calendar year as messenger in SBI, Sarha, Chapra Branch, so the section 25 F of I.D. Act is not applicable in this case.
19.
It is further case of the concerned workman that after his termination from service the management had
appointed Ram Chadra Bhagat, Randhir Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Mahto, Arun Kumar Patel, Sudama Prasad,
Bhuneshwar Kumar, Ganesh Thakur and Sri Ram Swarup Rai but his case has not been considered which a violation
of principle of natural justice and section 25H of the I.D. Act.
In this regard the WW-1 has deposed that after his termination the management had appointed Ram Chadra
Bhagat, Randhir Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Mahto, Arun Kumar Patel, Sudama Prasad, Bhuneshwar Kumar, Ganesh
Thakur and Sri Ram Swarup Rai but his case was not considered which is the violation of mandatory provision of
section 25G and 25H of the I.D. Act.
Moreover the MW-1 has deposed that Ram Chandra Bhagat and others had applied for their appointment as per
advertisement published vide dated 01/05/1991 in News Paper for consideration of absorption of eligible candidates
but the Arun Kumar Prasad had not submitted his application, so his case was not considered.
Further the MW-2 has deposed that Arun Kumar Prasad had never submitted application for his
appointment/absorption for service in SBI, Sarha, Chapra Branch and the persons were appointed by the management
of Bank following the process and in accordance with the rules.
20.
At this stage it is relevant to mention here that the provision of section 25H of the I.D. Act.
Section 25H. Re-employment of retrenched workmen:- Where any workmen are retrenched, and the
employer proposes to take into his employ any persons, he shall, in such manner as may be prescribed, give an
opportunity to the retrenched workmen who are citizens of India to offer themselves for re-employment, and such
retrenched workmen who offer themselves for re-employment shall have preference over other persons.
It is relevant to mention here that it is the case of the management of SBI, Sarha, Chapra Branch that an
advertisement was issued for absorption vide advertisement dated 01/05/1991 for consideration of absorption of
eligible candidates and invited application for daily wages workers/temporary workers for giving them opportunity
for absorption in the Bank permanent service but the concerned workman had not given any application for such
absorption, so his case had not been considered and other ex-temporary workers who had submitted their application
were considered and given appointment.
Here, in this case the concerned workman has not produced any documents to show that he had submitted his
application for absorption as ex-temporary workers as per advertisement dated 01/05/1991.
Moreover other persons namely Ram Chadra Bhagat, Randhir Kumar, Rajesh Kumar Mahto, Arun Kumar
Patel, Sudama Prasad, Bhuneshwar Kumar, Ganesh Thakur and Sri Ram Swarup Rai had already submitted their
applications and he had been after finding suitable were absorbed.
Since the concerned workman had not submitted any application for his absorption or regularisation in the
Bank as per advertisement dated 01/05/1991, so at this stage he is not entitled to claim for regularisation in service.
In view of such fact the management of the Bank has not violated the provision of section 25H of the I.D.
Act.
21.
After considering all the facts and circumstances the Tribunal renderes the following award:-
“The action of Management of State Bank of India, Patna in terminating the services of the workman on 1st October,
1983 and not considering him for re-employment before appointing fresh hands like Sri Ram Chandra Bhagat, Sri
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]

1173
Randir Kumar, Sri Rajesh Kumar Mahto, Sri Arun Kumar Patel, Sri Sudama Prasad, Sri Bhuneshwar Kumar, Sri
Ganesh Thakur and Sri Ram Swarup Rai is justified.
22.
Hence, the concerned workman is not entitled for any relief
This is the Award of this Tribunal.

On filing of the case, notices were issued to both the parties on 14th September 2018. On 7th August 2018
the statement of claim was filed by the claimant workman before the Tribunal. On the behalf of O.P. management
Authorized Representative appeared and filed the letter of authority on the date fixed. Later on 21.01.2021 O.P
management filed written statement and case was fixed for filing documents and rejoinder by the claimant workman.
On perusal of the record it is found that though several dates were fixed for filing the rejoinder and the
documents by the worker none appeared on behalf of the claimant workman before this Tribunal. Despite giving
ample opportunities to the claimant workman for submitting rejoinder and documents; the claimant workman failed to
present the case before the Tribunal at different stages of proceeding i.e. evidence and arguments. Pleadings cannot be
read as substantive evidence. On 20.10.2022 the case was reserved for final award for non-appearance of the claimant
workman.
From the aforesaid circumstances it is presumable that the claimant workman is not interested in prosecuting
the case further before the Tribunal.
Hence in the given circumstances the reference stands disposed of as of ‘NIL’ award.
Parties are left to bear their respective costs.

Central Government vide Notification No. L-41012/115/2016-IR(B-I) Dated 01.05.2018, under
clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947(hereinafter called
the Act), has referred the following Industrial dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal:-
“Whether the action of the management of Northern Railway in terminating the workman
Shri Garib Dass S/o Shri Durga Dass w.e.f. 06.12.1994 is legal, fair and justified? If not, what
relief the workman is entitled to and from which date?”
1.
The brief facts relevant for deciding this claim petition is that as per claim of
workman, the workman joined the respondent no.3 on 07.11.1983 as Gangman at AEN Railway Patiala and
continuously worked from 07.11.1983 to 05.12.1994. The workman was drawing a salary of Rs.1300/- per month at
the time of his termination. The services of the workman were illegally terminated on 06.12.1994. The workman
approached to the respondents for duty but of no use and was informed that his services are no more required. The
new appointment has been made by the respondents as well as juniors to the workman were retained in service after
the termination of the services of the workman. The termination of services of workman amounts to unfair labour
practice under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The services of the workman have been terminated in violation of
Section 25-F, 25-G and 25-H of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The workman has worked for more than 240 days
with the respondents in the last calendar year. The job on which the workman was working is a continuously and
permanent job and post is still vacant. The services of the workman have been terminated on 06.12.1994 without any
charge-sheet, without any fair and proper enquiry or without any payment of any compensation. The enquiry
conducted by the Enquiry Officer in this regard did not issue any notice to the workman and the workman was not
informed regarding conducting of enquiry and no charge-sheet was served upon the workman and the enquiry was
conducted in unfair unilateral manner as the workman was not heard. 1st appeal was filed on 25.12.1994 before the
Punishing Authority i.e. Assistant Divisional Engineer Northern Railway Patiala but no avail. Previously the first
demand notice was filed before the ALF(C) Jalandhar and during the conciliation proceedings it was advised by the
ALC(C) to file an appeal in this regard and therefore, also filed an appeal on 25.12.1994 and now second appeal is
being filed as per instructions of the ALC(C), Jalandhar on 10.08.2015. The workman was never absented from duty
without any leave/intimation and the management was violated of principal of natural justice and the workman has
never left the job. The workman is very poor person and he is suffering financially on account of the acts of the
department. The workman got no source of income at all to support his family. It is therefore, prayed that the
workman be reinstated in service with continuity of service along with full back wages from the date of illegal
termination.
2.
Management filed written statement, alleging therein that the workman was removed from service vide
office letter of even no. dated 06.12.1994 after duly completing all the mandatory formalities of charge-sheet, enquiry
and show cause notice(Annexure R-1). He was given ample opportunity about 5 and half year(from 19.08.1989 to
06.12.1994) to represent his case at any level of administration but he never cooperated with the administration and
refused to receive notices served upon him and never joined the enquiry conducted against him. He filed an OA
before CAT/New Delhi in 1995 which was also dismissed as withdrawn on 10.11.1995. The workman also filed an
petition before Civil Judge(Junior Division), Patiala which was also dismissed as all the action taken were as per
rules. When the workman has already filed a case before CAT and Civil Judge, Patiala, he cannot approach this
Hon’ble Tribunal after a gap of more than 18 years. The appeal dated 24.10.2015 cannot be decided being time barred
as the same has been filed after a gap of more than 18 years. It is therefore, respectfully prayed that in view of the
above facts and circumstances of the case, the claim of the workman may kindly be dismissed in the interest of
justice, equity and fair play.
3.
The workman filed replication to the written statement filed by the management, alleging therein that the
workman was worked with the respondent w.e.f. 07.11.1983/15.07.1984 to 05.12.1994 continuously and the services
of the workman were terminated on 06.12.1994 without any fair and proper enquiry conducted against the workman
and neither any notice was sent to the workman nor any publication was given in any newspaper regarding enquiry
and the workman filed an appeal on 25.12.1994, who had not heard the workman and no order has been passed by the
Appellate-Authority so far. The workman has never filed any petition before Civil Judge(Junior Division) Patiala and
the respondent has made a concocted story. The workman has filed a case regarding his termination before CAT due
to lack of knowledge and the CAT instructed the workman to file the case before the proper forum. The workman is
entitled to reinstatement with continuity of service and full back wages.
4.
The workman has filed his affidavit in evidence but was not cross-examined by the management as the
opportunity of the management to cross-examine the workman was closed and the management was proceeded ex
parte on 27.10.2022.

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
5.
I have gone through the written argument filed by the workman and perused the record available on file
carefully.
6.
The Hon’ble Apex Court in case of “Deepali Gundu Surwase v. Kranti Junion Adhyapak
Mahavidyalaya” reported as (2013) 10 SCC 324 has held as under:-
“The propositions which can be culled out from the aforementioned judgments are:
i)
In cases of wrongful termination of service, reinstatement with continuity of service and back wages
is the normal rule.
ii)
Ordinarily, an employee or workman whose services are terminated and who is desirous of getting
back wages is required to either plead or at least make a statement before the adjudicating authority
or the Court of first instance that he/she was not gainfully employed or was employed on lesser
wages. If the employer wants to avoid payment of full back wages, then I has to plead and also lead
cogent evidence to prove that the employee/workman was gainfully employed and was getting wages
equal to the wages he/she was drawing prior to the termination of service. This is so because it is
settled law that the burden of proof of the existence of a particular fact lies on the person who makes
a positive averments about its existence. It is always easier to prove a positive fact than to prove a
negative fact. Therefore, once the employee shows that he was employed, the onus lies on the
employer to specifically plead and prove that the employee was gainfully employed and was getting
the same or substantially similar emoluments.”
7.
Hon’ble Apex Court in the case General Manager, Haryana Roadways Vs. Rudan Singh,
reported as 2005 SCC (L & S) 716 observed as under:-
“There is no rule of thumb that in every case where the Industrial Tribunal gives a finding
that the termination of service was in violation of Section 25-F of the Act, entire back wages should
be awarded. A host of factors like the manner and method of selection and appointment i.e. whether
after proper advertisement of the vacancy or inviting applications from the employment exchange,
nature of appointment namely, whether ad hoc, short term, daily wage, temporary or permanent in
character, any special qualification required for the job and the like should be weighed and balanced
in taking a decision regarding award of back wages. One of the important factors which has to be
taken into consideration is the length of service, which the workman had rendered with the
employer. If the workman has rendered a considerable period of service and his services are
wrongfully terminated, he may be awarded full or partial back wages keeping in view the fact that
at this age and the qualification possessed by him he may not be in a position to get another
employment. However, where the total length of service rendered by a workman is very small, the
award of back wages for the complete period i.e. from the date of termination till the date of the
award, which our experience shows is often quite large, would be wholly inappropriate. A regular
service of permanent character cannot be compared to short or intermittent daily wage employment
though it may be for 240 days in a calendar year.”
8.
The Hon’ble Apex Court while considering the violation of Section 25-F
of the Act in Incharge Officer & Anr. V. Shankar Shetty, (2010) 9 SCC 126: 2010 LLR 1137 and
after referring to the various decisions, held that the relief by way of back wages is not automatic and
compensation instead of reinstatement has been held to meet the ends of justice and it was observed
as under:-
“2. Should an order of reinstatement automatically follow in a case where the
engagement of a daily wager has been brought to end in violation of Section 25F of the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947(for short “the ID Act”)? The course of the decisions of this Court in recent
years has been uniform on the above question.
3. In Jagbir Singh V. Haryana State Agriculture Mktg. Board, (2009) 15 SCC 327,
delivering the judgment of this Court, one of the us (R.M. Lodha, J.) noticed some of the recent
decisions of this Court, namely, U.P. State Brassware Corpn. Ltd. V. Uday Narain Pandey, (2006)
1 SCC 479; Uttaranchal Forest Development Corpn. V. M.C. Joshi, (2007) 9 SCC 353; State of
M.P. v. Lalit Kumar Verma, (2007) 1 SCC 575; M.P. Admn. V. Tribhuban, (2007) 9 SCC 748; Sita
Ram v. Moti Lal Nehru Farmers Training Institute, (2008)5 SCC 75; Jaipur Development
Authority v. Ramsahai, (2006) 11 SCC 684; GDA v. Ashok Kumar, (2008) 4 SCC 261 and
Mahboob Deepak v. Nagar Panchayat, Gajraula, (2008) 1 SCC 575 and stated as follows: (Jagbir
Singh case (2009) 11 SCC 327, SCC pp. 330 & 335, paras 7 & 14)
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1177
“7. It is true that the earlier view of this Court articulated in many decisions reflected the
legal position that if the termination of an employee was found to be illegal, the relief of
reinstatement with full back-wages would ordinarily follow. However, in recent past, there has
been a shift in the legal position and in a long line of cases, this Court has consistently taken the
view that relief by way of reinstatement with back-wages is not automatic and may be wholly
inappropriate in a given fact situation even though the termination of an employee is in
contravention of the prescribed procedure. Compensation instead of reinstatement has been held
to meet the ends of justice.
14. It would be, thus, seen that by a catena of decisions in recent time, this Court has
clearly laid down that an order of retrenchment passed in violation of Section 25F although may
be set aside but an award of reinstatement should not, however, be automatically passed.”
9. The workman has alleged in his claim statement that he joined the respondent no.3 on 07.11.1983 as Gangman at
AEN Railway Patiala and continuously worked from 07.11.1983 to 05.12.1994. He was drawing a salary of Rs.1300/-
per month at the time of his termination. His services were illegally terminated on 06.12.1994. The workman has
submitted his affidavit but has not cross-examined by the management as the opportunity of the management to cross-
examine the workman was closed and the management was proceeded ex parte on 27.10.2022.The affidavit of the
workman is an oral evidence. In lieu of oral evidence, the respondent has filed a letter of Ministry i.e. reply on
affidavit letter dated 06.12.1994 by Assistant Engineer, Northern Railway, Patiala to PWI-PTA & DUI, Northern
Railway and a copy was given to DPO/Settlement/UMB for information in which it is shown that Garib Dass son of
Durga Dass, Gangman under PWI-PTA was unauthorized absent from duty since 19.08.1989 till the date of issuing
this notice meaning thereby about more than 5 years the petitioner-workman Garib Dass was absent from his duties
and a show cause notice was also issued as per contents of the letter shows an inquiry was also held. It is further
written in letter that:-
“The above named employee is an un-authorized absent w.e.f. 19.8.89 Show Cause Notice served
to him vide this office letter of even No. dated 12/94 and was given 10 days time to appear before the
undersigned to report of the same but the employee did not turn up so far.
Please let this office know if the employee has resumed under you, if not he may be considered as
removal from the service, w.e.f. 19.8.89 and settlement papers may be sent to this office for further disposal
please.”
Thus, it is apparent that the workman was absent from his duties without information so the inquiry was made by the
respondent and after that his services were terminated meaning thereby the workman was delinquent employee who
had no responsibility about his services. Mere assertion that no notice was served upon him and no inquiry was made
is not acceptable. The respondents-letter shows that notice was served and he did not answer to notice.
10. In view of legal position discussed above, this Court is of the considered view that workman herein was not
holding a regular or permanent post nor he was recruited against the post is a regular manner. In such circumstances,
it is appropriate to grant reasonable compensation instead of reinstatement with back wages.
11. As such, having due regard to the facts and circumstances, an amount of Rs.1,00,000/-(One Lakh) appears to be
just and reasonable to which the workman is entitled. In case, the amount of Rs.1,00,000/-(One Lakh) not paid within
one month from the date of publication of the award, the workman is held to be entitled to 6% interest from the date
of reference till payment. File after completion be consigned in the record room.
12.
Let copy of this award be sent to Central Government for publication as required under Section 17 of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

AWARD
The Government of India, Ministry of Labour by its order No.L-12012/ 8/2009-IR(B.II) dated 25.3.2009
referred the following dispute under section 10(1)(d) of the I.D. Act, 1947 for adjudication to this Tribunal between
the management of Central Bank of India and their workman. The reference is,
SCHEDULE
“Whether the action of the management of M/s. Central Bank of India, Hyderabad (A.P.) in
terminating the services of Shri J. Rajesh, Part-time Scavenger at their Kalyan Nagar Branch without
following the provision of section 25F of the I.D. Act, is proper and justified? What relief the
concerned workman is entitled?”
The reference is numbered in this Tribunal as I.D. No. 18/2009 and notices were issued to the parties concerned and
the Petitioner entered appearance. Petitioner filed claim statement and Respondent filed counter statement.
2.
The Petitioner (herein after called as workman) filed Claim statement with the averments with brief
as follows:
The Petitioner was employed as part time sweeper cum scavenger since 1992 continuously without any interruption.
At the time of joining the Petitioner was paid Rs. 40/- pm till 30.11.1997 which was from time to time increased and
from January, 2004 it was 400/- pm. The Petitioner made a representation dated 22.1.2004 requesting the bank
management to increase the remuneration in terms of the bipartite settlement dated 27.3.2000. But the Petitioner’s
request was not considered. Further, it says that the Respondent has employed the Petitioner as a part time sweeper
cum scavenger but they were taking full time work and Petitioner was working from 9.30 am to 4.00 pm. And thus
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1179
Petitioner was working for more than 8 hrs per day. Further, it says that Petitioner’s representation dated 25.7.2005 to
provide an opportunity to work on regular basis was also not considered. The Petitioner is entitled to receive Rs.
740/- pm as per VII bipartite settlement award but the same was not implemented by Respondent. Petitioner had
approached the Respondent for revision of remuneration and payment of the difference of consolidated salary from
July, 1997 by virtue of 7th bipartite settlement, but in turn the management terminated the services of the Petitioner
orally from 1.12.2007 which is illegal and unjustified in violation of Sec. 25F of I.D. Act, 1947. It is further
submitted that ever since the petitioner joined the Respondent Bank as Part-time Sweeper-cum-Scavenger in June,
1992 he is working on all the working days of the Bank till his services were terminated on 30.11.2007. Thus, the
petitioner had worked more than 240 days for the calendar years 1992 to 2007. The petitioner is therefore entitled to
reinstatement, back wages and other attendant benefits. It is submitted that the petitioner was not given any notice or
payment in lieu of notice. He was also not paid retrenchment compensation and gratuity under the P.G. Act, 1972 and
Bonus as per the provisions of the payment of Bonus Act, 1965. Hence, the oral termination is illegal, unjustified,
against the provisions of law and also against the principles of natural justice. The non-observation of the conditions
laid down under Sec.25F of the I.D. Act, 1947 would also make the retrenchment ab-initio void. Therefore,
declaration that the employee continuous to be in service with all consequential benefits will flow, as laid down by the
Apex Court in Mohanlal vs. Bharat Electronics Limited – AIR 1981-1253 (OR) (II) LLU-1981-70. Therefore
workman prays for declaration that oral termination of the workman from the employment of sweeper cum scavenger
by Respondent is illegal, unjustified and in violation of Sec. 25Fof ID Act, 1947 and also prayed for granting him full
back wages, continuity of service and all other attendant benefits. Workman also prays for granting difference in
consolidated pay of wages since 1997 in terms of 7th bipartite settlement award dated 2000.
3.
The Respondent filed Counter with the following averments:
The Respondent filed his counter refused allegation of the workman, as alleged in the Claim statement. The
Respondent submitted that present Claim is not maintainable in law and on facts. The ID is misconceived and devoid
of any merits. It is also submitted that first party is not a workman as per ID Act. He was not a regular employee or
casual labourer. There was no appointment order for any post, hence the employee-employer relation was never
existed. The true facts are that the first party is scavenger of local locality in which the bank is located. The first
party offered his services for cleaning the toilets of the branch once in a week. He was paid Rs. 40/- per visit and in
course of time the amount was increased to Rs. 400/- pm as per his request. It is false to say that first party has
worked for 6 hours every week. It is further wrong to say that petitioner was not allowed to work for the previous
four months. Further, it is submitted that bipartite settlement is not applicable to Petitioner since he was paid for the
work done and the question of balance of payment of Rs. 250/- pm from 1997 does not arise. It further submitted
that bank was shifted to new premises and old records were disposed at the time of shifting. Further, it is submitted
that first party has stopped to attend on his own and there was no question of termination or retrenchment since there
was no appointment. The first party has hardly worked for 15 minutes whenever he came to clean the toilets. It is
also alleged the first party has not worked for statutory period of 240 days in a year at any time. There was no
obligation on the part of bank to give him further work. It is further submitted that the first party was never asked to
work as scavenger as there was no such post at the branch level and he was never asked to work as scavenger in the
bank. Further, it is submitted that the first party is not entitled to any compensation or Rs. 2500/-, pm from 1.5.2001
or for any salary from December, 2007. The claim of reinstatement or payment of salary or continuity in service or
payment of attendant benefits does not arise and all these claims are denied and the same be dismissed with
exemplary costs.
4.
To prove the averments of the Claim statement the Petitioner has filed his chief examination affidavit as
WW1. He also has filed documentary evidence (Photocopies of documents) viz., Ex. W1 is the letter dated
27.7.2001 addressed to Respondent by workman, Ex.W2 is the representation dated 22.1.2004 addressed to
Respondent, Ex.W3 is the representation dated 25.7.2005, Ex.W4 is the letter, again addressed to the Respondent
dated 26.8.2005, Ex.W5 is one letter dated 7.11.2005 document addressed to regional office by Respondent. Another
document Ex.W6 is letter dated 1.2.1997 addressed to PRS, RO, Hyderabad by Dy. Manager, Central Bank, Ex. W7
is a letter 27.2.1998 which was addressed to the PRS, RO, Hyderabad of the Respondent by PSM Rao Branch
Manager. The other document Ex. W8 is a photo copy of pass book which contains the duration and details of the
payment of wages to the workman by the Respondent bank. Ex. W9 is a photocopy of 7th bipartite settlement dated
27.3.2000.
5.
On the other hand, Respondent has examined as many as 4 witnesses MW1- Sri R Laxman Rao, MW2- Sri B
Venkateshwarlu, MW3- Smt. Vijaya Lakshmi, MW4- Sri M. Mohan Kumar. Respondent did not file any document
in evidence.
6.
Heard the arguments.. The workman has filed written arguments also. He contended that the contention of
Respondent, that the Petitioner is not a workman as defined under section 2(s) of ID Act, is liable to be rejected as
1180
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
the Petitioner is very much covered under the category of workman as defined u/s 2(s) of ID Act. laid down by Apex
Court in Devinder Singh vs. Municipal Council, Sanaur 2011(6) SCC (584). Further, it is contended that the source
of employment and termination and contract of service, the quantum wages / pay and mode of payment are not at all
relevant to decide whether he is workman and also does not make any distinction between full time or part time basis.
Tribunal is required to consider whether he is employed in an industry for hire or reward for doing manual, skilled,
unskilled, operational, technical or clerical work in any industry. Once the test of employment for hire or reward is
satisfied, the employee would fall within the definition of workman. The workman has also submitted that he had
worked for 240 days in a calendar year during April, 1992 to November, 2007 as he has alleged in Claim statement
and also reiterated in his affidavit. He has filed Exs.W4,W6 and W7 to fortify his contention that he had worked for
more than 240 days from 1992 to 2007. On the other hand, Respondent has failed to place any documentary evidence
it is also submitted that the attendance register and payment vouchers are with Respondent. The day book is with
Respondent but the Respondent has failed to produce the same before the tribunal in the present case. Thus, the
contention of Petitioner that he worked for 240 days in each calendar year is proved and he has been in continuous
employment of Respondent without any break. It is also submitted that the Petitioner’s termination by the
Respondent has been done without observing the condition precedent under Section 25F, hence, the retrenchment of
work man is void ab intio and he is continuous in without benefits. In support of his contention, he cited the Apex
Courts decision passed in 1981 (125) 1253 (or) (II) LLJ 1981 page 70. Therefore, prayed for declaring his
termination from the employment in violation of Sec 25F as illegal and unjustified.
7.
On the basis of pleading of both the parties and arguments advanced before the tribunal following points
arise for determination:-
I.
Whether the action of the management of M/s. Central Bank of India, Hyderabad (A.P.) in
terminating the services of Shri J. Rajesh, Part-time Scavenger at their Kalyan Nagar Branch
without following the provision of section 25F of the I.D. Act, is proper and justified If so its
effect?
II.
Whether workman is entitled for consolidated wages as per the VII Bipartite Settlement dated
27th March, 2000, w.e.f 1st November, 1997?
III.
What relief the concerned workman is entitled to?
8.
Point No.I : The first contention of Respondent is that the Petitioner Sri J.Rajesh is not a workman as per
the ID Act since he was not a regular employee, or even a casual labour and there was no appointment letter, hence,
there is no employee-employer relationship ever existed. The Petitioner counsel would submit that section 2(s) of ID
act contains an exhaustive definition of term “workman”, the source of employment and method of recruitment and
terms of quantum wages and mode of payment are not at all relevant to decide whether a person is workman or not.
He further submit that the tribunal is required to consider whether a person is recruited for hire / reward, skilled,
unskilled or clerical work of industry. Once the test of employment for specified type of work is specified the
employee will fall within the definition of workman.
To fortify his contention Learned Counsel for petitioner has cited decision by Apex Court in Devinder Singh Vs.
Municipal Council, Sanaur, 2011(6) SCC page 584, where in Apex Court has held,
“ Section 2(s) contains an exhaustive definition of the term “workman”. The definition takes within its ambit
any person including an apprentice employed in any industry to do any manual, unskilled, skilled, technical,
operational, clerical or supervisory work for hire or reward and it is immaterial that the terms of employment are not
reduced into writing. The definition also includes a person, who has been dismissed, discharged or retrenched in
connection with an industrial dispute or as a consequence of such dispute or whose dismissal, discharge or
retrenchment has led to that dispute.
The source of employment, the method of recruitment, the terms and conditions of employment/contract of
service, the quantum of wages/pay and the mode of payment are not at all relevant for deciding whether or not a
person is a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act. It is apposite to observe that the definition of
workman also does not make any distinction between full-time and part-time employee or a person appointed on
contract basis. There is nothing in the plain language of Section 2(s) from which it can be inferred that only a
person employed on a regular basis or a person employed for doing whole-time job is a workman and the one
employed on temporary, part-time or contract basis on fixed wages or as a casual employee or for doing duty for
fixed hours is not a workman.
Whenever an employer challenges the maintainability of industrial dispute on the ground that the employee
is not a workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of the Act, what the Labour Court/Industrial Tribunal is
required to consider is whether the person is employed in an industry for hire or reward for doing manual, unskilled,
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1181
skilled, operational, technical or clerical work in an industry. Once the test of employment for hire or reward for
doing the specified type of work is satisfied, the employee would fall within the definition of “workman”.”
9.
Admittedly, the workman has worked in the Respondent branch as part time sweeper cum scavenger since
1992 and he was paid remuneration, initially it was Rs. 40/- pm in due course of time it was increased to Rs.400/- pm
from January, 2004. The Respondent contended that the workman offered to clean the toilet of the bank and he was
paid wages. In the course of time it was increased to Rs.400/- pm. In chief affidavit WW1has stated that he was a
part time scavenger cum sweeper in the Respondent bank and was paid remuneration for the work. Workman has
also filed Exts.W1, W3 W4 and W6 and W7 that would goes to show that Petitioner/ workman had worked in the
Respondent‘s branch as sweeper cum scavenger for hire or reward. Respondent’s witness MW1 also admitted above
fact in his testimony. In view of the above, it is clear that the Petitioner is workman in view of definition of
workman u/s 2(s) of ID Act, 1947. But being workman merely, it does not mean that he fulfills condition to qualify
the provision of Sec.25F of I.D. Act, 1947 and become eligible for protection of Sec.25F. The workman has to prove
further that he had worked for 240 days in 12 months just precedes the year from the date of his termination from
employment.
10.
Learned Counsel for workman further submits that his termination from service by the Respondent is in
violation of 25F of ID Act since he has worked for 240 days in a calendar year from April,1992 to November, 2007
and his termination is void ab initio and he is entitled for continuance of employment in service. The Petitioner in
his Claim statement and chief affidavit state that he joined the Respondent bank as part time employee in June 1992
and he had been working in all the working days in Respondent bank till his termination in 2007. That Petitioner has
worked for more than 240 days for the calendar year from 1992 to 2007. Whereas, Respondent in his counter, has
submitted that there was no question of termination or retrenchment since there was no appointment. The first party
hardly worked for 15 minutes whenever he came to clean the toilet. The first party has not worked for 240 days in
any year, hence, there was no obligation on the part of Respondent to give him future work.
11.
Now, let us see, whether workman had worked 240 days under the employment of Respondent. In
12 months just precedes the date of his termination.
It would be relevant to narrate the provision of Sec 25F ID Act.
The Sec 25F of ID Act reads as follows: Conditions precedent to retrenchment of workmen:-- No workman
employed in any industry who has been in continuous service for not less than one year under an employer shall be
retrenched by that employer until:-
a) the workman has been given one month’s notice in writing indicating the reasons for retrenchment and the
period of notice has expired, or the workman has been paid in lieu of such notice, wages for the period
of the notice;
b) the workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation which shall be equivalent to
fifteen days’ average pay {for every completed year of continuous service} or any part thereof in excess
of six months; and
c) Notice in the prescribed manner is served on the appropriate Government [or such authority as may be
specified by the appropriate Government by notification in the Official Gazette].
Thus Sec. 25F enumerates the conditions precedent for the retrenchment of the workman and one of the condition
precedent is that the workman who is employed in any industry is in continuous service for not less than one year
under the employer.
Sec. 25B enumerates the definition of continuous service, which reads as follows:
a) For a period of one year, if the workman, during a period of twelve calendar months preceding the date with
reference to which calculation is to be made, has actually worked under the employer for not less than--
i)
One hundred and ninety days in the case of workman employed below ground in a mine; and
ii)
two hundred and forty days, in any other case;
12.
It is the case of the workman that since 1992 he has worked for 240 days in a year under the employment of
Respondent bank. The claim has been denied by Respondent. Burden to prove the fact that he worked for 240 days
in a calendar year lies on the workman. In this regard, WW1 stated that he was working in all the working days since
June 1992 to 2007 thereby he worked for 240 days in each calendar year for the said period of employment. In
support of his claim he filed document Ex. W1 which is an application dated 27.7.2001 addressed to the Regional
Manager to increase his salary. Ex.W2 is a letter addressed to Branch Manager, Kalyan Nagar branch for increase of
1182
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
part time salary. Ex. W3 is also a letter addressed to Regional Manager of Respondent for providing him opportunity
to work in the bank as permanent employee. All these above documents does not prove the fact that he worked
under the employment of Respondent bank for 240 days in a calendar year. Similarly, Ex. W4 is a letter by Senior
Manager to Personnel Department of Respondent where in it is mentioned that Sri J. Rajesh has been attending the
duties of scavenger at their branch for quite a number of years and they have received a representation from Sri J.
Rajesh requesting to consider his appointment as P.T.S.K., in the bank. Document Ex.W4 also does not support the
claim of Applicant. Ex. W5 is an application addressed to Branch Manager, Central Bank of India, request for
appointment as a permanent worker. Ex. W6 is a letter by Dy. Manager to P.R.S., Department, R.O., Hyderabad
dated 1.2.1997 regarding sending the representation of Sri J. Rajesh, for regularization. Similarly, Ex. W7 also not
support the claim of workman. Document Ex. W8 is a photocopy of ledger folio which reveals that the workman
was paid his wages on different dates by employer. It also reveals that it starts from the date 9.1.1998 upto
22.8.1998 and at the foot of ledger the entries of dated 19.9.1999 and 14.5.1999 is also shown to be written. The
single page of photocopy, Ex.W8 does not bear caption name of establishment and neither it is verified by any
authority, WW1 did not state by whom Ex.W8 was written. As per Ex.W8 if we count number of days commencing
from 8.1.98 upto 14.5.99, the working days calculated in the following manner:-

13.
On the careful perusal of chart we found that after summing up of total number of days for which workman
has been paid wages, it is approximately one hundred days, which is much less than requisite 240 days as per
provision of Sec.25B of I.D. Act, 1947 for continuous service. Apart from above, except Ex.W8, no other document
has been filed and proved by workman to establish his claim.
14.
Moreover, WW1 in cross examination has stated “it is true that I used to finish off the scavenger work for
the Respondent bank within 45 minutes and then I used to leave the Bank. It is not true to suggest that I never worked
for the respondent bank from 9.30 am t o 4.30 pm.” The witness further admitted that “it is true that there is no
sanctioned post of scavenger post in the Respondent. It is true that I used to receive wages weekly as per Ex. W8. As
per this document I used to receive wages once in two days, five days and ten days also sometimes.” Further, he
states, “it is true that the last entry dated 14.5.1999 only. It is true that in Ex.W5 I did not mention from which date to
which date I worked.”
15.
Thus, from statement of WW1 it reveals that , he has not worked on any sanctioned post and he used to
finish of his work in Respondent bank within 45 minutes and use to leave the bank. Thus, the claim of workman that
he worked in bank from 9.30 am to 4.30 pm in the Respondent bank does not find support from his own statement.
16.
The burden of proving the fact that he has worked for 240 days in the Respondent employment in a
calendar year just preceding the date of termination is on him. The Apex Court in Krishna Bhagya Jala Nigam Ltd.,
vs Mohd. Rafi in Appeal (civil )3639 of 2006 decided on 24.8.2006 have held,
“In Rajasthan State Ganganagar S. Mills Ltd., Vs. State of Rajasthan and another (2004(8) SCC 161) the position
was again reiterated in paragraph 6 as follows: “It was the case of the workman that he had worked for more than
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1183
240 days in the year concerned. This claim was denied by the appellant. It was for the claimant to lead evidence to
show that he had in fact worked upto 240 days in the year preceding his termination. He has filed an affidavit. It is
only is own statement which is in his favour and that cannot be regarded as sufficient evidence for any Court or
Tribunal to come to the conclusion that in fact the claimant had worked for 240 days in a year. These aspects were
highlighted in Range Forest Officer vs. S.T. Hadimani (2002 (3) SCC 25). No proof of receipt of salary or wages for
240 days or order or record in that regard was produced. Mere non-production of the muster roll for a particular
period was not sufficient for the Labour court to hold that the workman had worked for 240 days as claimed.” In
Municipal Corporation, Faridabad Vs. Siri Nowas (2004(8) SCC 195), it was held that the burden was on the
workman to show that he was working for more than 240 days in the preceding one year prior to his alleged
retrenchment. In M.P. Electricity Board Vs. Hariram (2004(8) SCC 246) the position was again reiterated in
paragraph 11 as follows: “The above burden having not been discharged and the Labour Court having held so, in
our opinion, the Industrial Court and the High Court erred in basing an order of reinstatement solely on an adverse
inference drawn erroneously.”
17.
Thus, the claim of workman that he worked for 240 days in a calendar year is not proved by Ex.W8. Apart
from his statement, no other credible evidence has been produced by workman to prove his claim. Therefore,
contention of workman that he is continuously working since 1992 to 2007, till he was terminated w.e.f. 1.12.2007
and he is eligible for continuous for service, is not acceptable.
18.
The law cited by the workman, Mohan Lal vs. M/s. Bharath Electronics Ltd., 1981 SCC 225 is concerned
wherein apex court have held,
“However, before a workman can complain of retrenchment being not in consonance with Sec. 25F, he has to show
that he has been in continuous service for not less than one year under that employer who has retrenched him from
service”.
19. The workman failed to prove his claim by evidence that he was in continuous service for not less than one year.
20.
Learned Counsel for workman further contended that to repel the contention of workman the Respondent
bank failed to place any documentary evidence i.e., the attendance register, payment voucher and day book which are
with the Respondent but failed to place the said documents before the tribunal. The Respondent has contended in his
counter as well as in testimony that in August, 2007 branch was shifted to new premises and the record was disposed
of at the time of shifting. MW1 also states to this effect. The witness was not asked any question in cross
examination by workman hence, contention of Respondent that record was disposed off at the time of shifting remains
unrebutted. The burden of proof is on workman to prove his contention, by evidence and fact, he should stand on his
own legs. Moreover, Petitioner never moved any application for summoning the aforesaid record from the custody
of Respondent, hence, now he cannot claim that Respondent failed to produce documentary evidence to repel the
contention of workman. The Respondent has furnished plausible explanation for non-production of the record,
hence, no adverse inference can be drawn against the Respondent in this regard.
21.
On the other hand, Respondent has examined MW1, MW2, MW3 & MW4, and all the witnesses has
supported the version of the Respondent and nothing elicited in their cross examination to make their testimony shaky
so as to discard on any count.
Thus, Point No.I is decided accordingly.
22.
Point No.II:
It is also contended by workman that as per VII Bipartite settlement(Award) dated
27.3.2000 the Petitioner i.e., entitled to receive Rs.740/- p.m. which was also not implemented by the Respondent
Management in respect of the Petitioner. It is also submitted that he had approached Management for revision of
his remuneration and payment of the difference of the consolidated salary of Rs. 740/-p.m. from 1.11.1997 by virtue
of VII Bipartite settlement dated 27.3.2000. The Respondent submitted in his counter in para 3 that, the bipartite
settlement is not applicable to the case of Petitioner since he was paid for the work done and the question of balance
of payment of Rs.250/- p.m. from 1.11.1997 does not arise. The workman has filed document Ex.W9 which is copy
of VII Bipartite settlement circular No.PER/2000-2001/01 dated 27.3.2000 which is not denied by Respondent. In
schedule I list of Banks at Serial No.7, the name of Respondent bank, Central Bank of India is mentioned, hence, it
is equally applicable to Respondent bank. As discussed on preceding para, that Petitioner comes under workman
category and he has done part-time job of sweeper cum scavenger, in the Respondent bank for hire/reward.
Bipartite settlement at page 12-part XVII, it is mentioned that:-
“XVII: Part-Time Employees:
With effect from 1st November, 1997 Part time employees whose normal working hours per week are as
given below shall be paid consolidated wages as under:
a) Upto 3 hours : At Bank’s discretion with a minimum of Rs.450/- p.m.
1184
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
b)
More than 3 hours : At Bank’s discretion with a Rs.740/-p.m.
minimum of but less than 6 hours :
Therefore, workman being Part-time workman in Respondent bank is eligible to get Rs.740/- p.m. from
1.11.1997 till the date of his termination i.e., 1.12.2007.
Thus, Point No.II is decided accordingly.
23.
Point No.III:
Thus, from the above discussion, this Tribunal is of the considered view that the
termination of workman Shri J. Rajesh is just and proper and there is no violation of provisions of Sec.25F of I.D.
Act, 1947. However, the workman was a part-time workman hence, he is eligible for consolidated wages as per VII
Bipartite settlement, w.e.f. 1.11.1997 till date of termination of his service i.e., 1.12.2007. Whatever wages claimant
had already received shall be deducted from consolidated wages.
Thus, Point No.III is decided accordingly.
Result:
The action of the management of M/s. Central Bank of India, Hyderabad (A.P.) in terminating the services of Shri J.
Rajesh, Part-time Scavenger at their Kalyan Nagar Branch is proper and justified. The workman Shri J. Rajesh is
not entitled to relief of continuation of service and back wages.
However, he is entitled to receive consolidated wages @ Rs.740/- w.e.f. 1.11.1997 till date of his
termination i.e., 1.12.2007. Respondent is directed to pay the difference of wages as per VII Bipartite settlement to
workman after deducting the wages already paid within 2 months from the receipt of this award.
Award is passed accordingly. Transmit.

AWARD
By order No. D-818/AB/2020/10/IRDDN dated 09.09.2020 the present industrial dispute has been referred for
adjudication to this Tribunal in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A)
of Section 10 the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) by the Central Government, with following schedule:
“Whether the termination of the service of Shri Pyare Lal S/o Shri Bhudhar, who was engaged in Roja Depot
of FCI, Shahajanpur, (UP) by M/s Keshav Singh, Contractor of FCI, the period 08.07.2008 to 23.04.2010 is
proper and justified.
If not, to what relief, the workman is entitled to?"
Accordingly, an industrial dispute No. 37/2020 has been registered on 20.10.2020.
From the perusal of record, the position which emerge out is that the till date the claimant/workman has not filed any
statement of claim.
Moreover, as a matter of fact and record, workman, Pyare Lal or his authorized representative has not turned up
before this Tribunal nor has filed any statement of claim, till date.
Findings & Conclusion:
Taking into consideration the fact that till date no statement of claim has been filed by the claimant in order to
establish his claim as per the reference dated 09.09.2020.
So in view of the said facts, as well as the law laid by the Hon’ble High Court in the case of V. K. Raj Industries v.
Labour Court (I) and others 1981 (29) FLR 194 as under:
“It is well settled that if a party challenges the legality of an order, the burden lies upon him to prove
illegality of the order and if no evidence is produced the party invoking jurisdiction of the Court must fail.
Whenever a workman raises a dispute challenging the validity of the termination of service if is imperative
for him to file written statement before the Industrial Court setting out grounds on which the order is
challenged and he must also produce evidence to prove his case. If the workman fails to appear or to file
written statement or produce evidence, the dispute referred by the State Government cannot be answered in
favour of the workman and he would not be entitled to any relief.”
In the case of M/s Uptron Powertronics Employees’ Union, Ghaziabad through its Secretary v. Presiding Officer,
Labour Court (II), Ghaziabad and others 2008 (118) FLR 1164 Hon’ble Allahabad High Court has held as under:
“The law has been settled by the Apex Court in case of Shanker Chakravarti v. Britannia Biscuit Co. Ltd.,
V.K. Raj Industries v. Labour Court and Ors., Airtech Private Limited v. State of U.P. and Ors. 1984 (49)
FLR 38 and Meritech India Ltd. v. State of U.P. and Ors. 1996 FLR that in the absence of any evidence led
by or on behalf of the workman the reference is bound to be answered by the court against the workman. In
such a situation it is not necessary for the employers to lead any evidence at all. The obligation to lead
evidence to establish an allegation made by a party is on the party making the allegation. The test would be,
who would fail if no evidence is led.”
And by the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in the case of District Administrative Committee, U.P. P.A.C.C.S.C.
Services v. Secretary-cum-G.M. District Co-operative Bank Ltd. 2010 (126) FLR 519; wherein it has been held as
under:
“The submission is that even if the petitioner failed to lead the evidence, burden was on the shoulders of the
respondent to prove the termination order as illegal. He was required to lead evidence first which he failed.
A perusal of the impugned award also does not show that any evidence either oral or documentary was led
by the respondent. In the case of no evidence, the reference has to be dismissed.”
As the workman has not filed any statement of claim/oral/documentary evidence, so the present case is liable
to be dismissed.
1192

For the foregoing reasons, the case is dismissed and; and the workman is not entitled for any relief.

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 Central Government through the Ministry of Labour vide its order No. L-
22012/471/2004-IR(CM-II) dated 14/02/2006 has been pleased to refer the following dispute between the employers,
i.e. the Management of ECL at Bankola Colliery and their workman for adjudication by this Tribunal.
SCHEDULE
”Whether the action of the management of Bankola Colliery under Bankola Area of M/s. Eastern
Coalfields Limited in dismissing Sh. Yadav Majhi, Security Guard from services is legal and
justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled?”
1.
Having received order No. L-22012/471/2004-IR(CM-II) dated 14/02/2016, the aforesaid Reference case
was registered on 24/02/2006 as Reference Case No. 03 of 2006. Notices were issued to the parties under registered
post directing them to appear and file their written statements along with documents and list of witnesses they would
like to examine.
2.
Written Statement was filed by the union on behalf of the workman contending inter alia that the workman
fell sick w.e.f. 23/06/1997 and he underwent medical treatment in the company hospital till 14/09/1997. The workman
reported for his duty but was informed that charge sheet was issued against him alleging unauthorized absence from
23/06/1997 to 06/08/1997. It is further stated that the workman submitted documents related to medical treatment
before the Enquiry Officer and participated in proceeding but no opportunity was given to him to defend the case. It is
alleged that Enquiry Officer and the Presenting Officer were highly biased and findings of Enquiry Officer are not
based on records. On 07/11/1997 another charge sheet was issued alleging that he submitted false treatment paper
about his illness. The workman replied to the charges but the Management initiated a domestic enquiry against him
with mala fide intention.
3.
According to the representative of the workman the Personnel Manager of colliery himself conducted the
Enquiry without appointing any appropriate authority. Enquiry was held on 24/11/1997 and report was submitted on
the same day. It is contended that the Principal of Natural Justice was not followed and the workman was dismissed
from service without giving reasonable opportunity to prove his innocence. The workman claimed that Enquiry
Report would disclose that no independent witness has been examined to prove the charge and dismissal of Yadav
Majhi is illegal and unjustified.
4.
A written statement has been submitted by the Management where it is admitted that the workman
participated in the enquiry and produced treatment paper collected from the Central Hospital, Kalla. After verification
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1195
from the office of the Central Hospital, Kalla, it appears that all documents were forged and fake and no reliance
could place on them as treatment papers. Due to such act on the part of the workman a subsequent charge sheet
bearing No. BK/PD/15(10)/64 dated 07.11.1997 was initiated and the Enquiry Officer found the workman guilty of
charges leveled against him. It is ascertained that there is no ground to show any leniency to Yadav Majhi and his
dismissal was proposed by the Management. The Management contended that the workman attended duty for 182
days in the year 1994, 161 days in the year 1995 and 174 days in the year 1996. The Management urged that the
concerned workman is not entitled to any relief as prayed for.
5.
The case is fixed up today for appearance and showing cause by Yadav Majhi. Notice was issued to Yadav
Majhi on 20/09/2022 directing him to be represented before this Tribunal on 11/11/2022. Mr. P. K. Goswami, learned
advocate for the Management of Bankola Colliery is present but no one appeared on behalf of the dismissed
workman, Yadav Majhi. This is a long pending case. Since the workman has not appeared and no accommodation has
been sought for by any representative, it cannot be assumed with certainty that the concerned workman is still alive to
contest the reference case. In his cross-examination the witness stated that he did not submit medical papers in
support of his absence. Undisputedly, the workman was absent and he also participated in Enquiry proceeding. Due to
non-appearance of the dismissed workman after service of Notice, I am constraint to dispose of this Reference case
against the workman in the form of a No Dispute Award.
Hence,
ORDER
The reference case is disposed of in the form of a No Dispute Award. Let copies of Award in duplicate be
sent to the Ministry for information.

AWARD
In the present case, a reference was received from the appropriate Government vide letter No. 22011
/40/2019-IR(CM-II) dated 10.07.2019 under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the
Act, for adjudication of a dispute, terms of which are as under:
SCHEDULE
“1. Whether the action of the management of Food Corporation of India to forcefully change, his
category from Ancillary Labour to loader is violation of provisions of section 9 (a) of Industrial dispute
Act, 1947 is deeded to be victimization or not ?
2. Whether the action of the management to take the work of loader by the worker instead of Ancillary
Labour for which the original recruitment was made is violation of section 25 (T) of industrial dispute
Act, 1947 is deemed to be unfair labour practice or not ? If so, to what relief the concerned workman is
entitled to ”
2.
In the reference order, the appropriate Government commanded the parties raising the dispute to file
statement of claim, complete with relevant documents, list of reliance and witnesses with this Tribunal within 15 days
of receipt of the reference order and to forward a copy of such statement of claim to the opposite parties involved in
the dispute. Despite directions so given, Claimant union opted not to file the claim statement with the Tribunal.
3.
On receipt of the above reference, notice was sent to the workman as well as the managements. Neither the
postal article sent to the claimant, referred above, was received back nor was it observed by the Tribunal that postal
services remained unserved in the period, referred above. Therefore, every presumption lies in favour of the fact that
the above notice was served upon the claimant. Despite service of the notice, claimant opted to abstain away from the
proceedings. No claim statement was filed on his behalf. Thus, it is clear that the workman is not interested in
adjudication of the reference on merits.
4.
Since the workman has neither put in his appearance nor he led any evidence so as to prove his cause against
the management, this Tribunal is left with no choice, except to pass a ‘No Dispute/Claim’ award. Let this award be
sent to the appropriate Government, as required under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, for publication.

Award
Passed on:-06.02.2023
Central Government vide Notification No.L-17012/21/2004-IR(B-1), Dated 28.07.2005, under clause (d) of
sub-section (1) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947(hereinafter called the Act), has referred the
following Industrial dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal:-
“Whether the action of the management of New India Insurance Co. Ltd., Ludhiana in
imposing the punishment of dismissal from service vide order dated 6.6.2003 on Sh. Rakesh
Kumar is legal and unjust? If not, to what relief the concerned workman is entitled to and
from which date?
1.
The brief facts relevant for deciding this claim petition is that as per claim of workman, the workman joined
the services of the respondents on 12.12.1978 and was lastly posted as Development Officer Sr. No.11498 at Branch
Office, Dhandari Kalan(Ludhiana) under D.O No.IV when a charge-sheet dated 30.06.2000 was served upon the
workman with concocted and fabricated allegations pertaining to the cover note No.215372 dated 28.04.1998
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945

concerning Maruti Zen vehicle bearing No.PB-10AB-0178. The articles of charges and statement of imputation of
misconduct were issued with the charge-sheet under the signature of Sh. A.K. Verma the then Deupty Manager
Regional Office, Ludhiana, purportedly as Disciplinary Authority as is mentioned in the punishment order dated
06.06.2003 issued by Sh. A.C. Jaggi, Regional Manager, R.O. Ludhiana. The workman vide his reply dated
25.07.2000 stating therein that the allegation were concocted, after thought, motivated, discriminatory and based upon
misreported facts and incomplete information conveyed to the authorities by the reporting officers. The submissions
made by the workman to the charge-sheet dated 30.06.2000 were not given due considerations by the competent
authority as required under rules and appointment of enquiry officer was made as per intimation letter dated
27.09.2000 in an arbitrary manner. The copy of orders to appoint enquiry officer issued by the competent authority
was never supplied to the workman and it was also not placed on record during the enquiry proceedings and no such
orders were produced even during the conciliation proceedings. The intimation letter could not be a substitute for the
orders of appointment of enquiry officer. The punishment order dated 06.06.2003 issued by the Regional Manager
clearly shows that the charge-sheet dated 30.06.2000 was issued by the Dy. Manager Sh. A.K. Verma purportedly as
disciplinary authority but the punishment has been imposed by the Regional Manager. No rules or orders were placed
on record during the enquiry proceedings and no such orders or rules were ever supplied to the workman to show as
to which of these two authorities(one Junior or as Dy. Manager and the other senior as Regional Manager) was
competent to act as disciplinary authority. It is a well settled law that the charge sheet to initiate disciplinary
proceedings, the appointment of enquiry officer, show cause notice, personal hearing and the punishment orders are
required to be passed by the disciplinary authority designated and appointed under rules. The orders passed in
violation of rules are illegal. The respondents had deliberately not produced the material witnesses and documents in
the enquiry proceedings concerning the charge-sheet dated 30.06.2000. The enquiry findings given by the enquiry
officer on 17.05.2001 are not based upon admissible evidence on record and the same are wrong and perverse. As per
the office order dated 06.06.2003 the regional management imposed the extreme penalty of dismissal upon the
workman with immediate effect and it was mentioned to be proved under Rule 23(h) of the said rules. The orders
passed by the disciplinary authority are illegal, wrong, non-speaking, against rules, motivated, without jurisdiction
and authority, quite harsh and disproportionate to the alleged misconduct and are based upon illegal charge sheet and
perverse findings and the same is liable to be set aside. It is therefore, prayed that this Hon’ble Tribunal be pleased to
set aside the orders of the disciplinary authority and the appellate authority and direct the respondents to reinstate the
workman in service with full back wages, continuity of service and all consequential benefits of seniority and
promotion etc.
2.
The management has filed written statement, alleging therein that the present reference is not maintainable in
the eyes of law and the dispute does not fall within the ambit of Section 2-A of the Industrial Disputes Act as the
workman does not fall within the ambit of Section 2-S of the Industrial Disputes Act and he is not a workman as
defined under the Act. The workman was guilty of serious acts of misconduct for which he was charge-sheeted vide
charge-sheet dated 30.06.2000. The workman while working as a Development Officer at Dhandari Kalan Branch
under Ludhiana Divisional Office-IV of the respondent-management committed serious acts of misconduct for which
he was charge-sheeted vide charge-sheet dated 30.06.2000. The workman failed to maintain absolute integrity in the
discharge of his duties. He was asked to submit reply to the charge-sheet within a period of 15 days of the receipt of
the charge-sheet. The workman submitted his reply to the charge-sheet to the competent authority who after
examining the same found it unsatisfactory. The workman during the course of inquiry proceedings dated 27.02.2001
stated that he did not want to produce any evidence but when he would receive the written briefs of the presenting
officer he would submit his evidence in the form of written briefs. The misconduct committed by the workman was
very serious in nature and the past record of the workman was also perused wherein the workman was held guilty of
misconduct and he was penalized on two different occasions. He was awarded penalty of ‘censure’ vide order dated
22.07.2002 and second time on account of misappropriation of amount of Rs.11249/- which was later on deposited by
the workman, he was awarded major penalty on 14.10.1998 wherein his basic salary was reduced to the start of basic
salary for Grade-I, Divisional Officer. The Disciplinary Authority exercising the powers conferred under Rule 24 of
the General Insurance Conduct and Discipline Rules, 1970 as amended from time to time, imposed penalty of
dismissal from service with immediate effect as provided under Rule 23(4) of the said rules. Aggrieved by the order
of the disciplinary authority, the workman filed an appeal before the appellate authority who after going through the

AWARD
By order No. K-10/1-3/2020-IR Dated 08.06.2020 the present industrial dispute has been referred for adjudication to
this Tribunal in exercise of the powers conferred by clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10
the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) by the Central Government, with following schedule:
“1. Whether the demand of reinstatement of the workman Shri Avinash Singh is just, fair and legal?
2. If, so to what relief the concerned workman is entitled to and from which date.”
Accordingly, an industrial dispute No. 17/2020 has been registered on 01.07.2020.
From the perusal of record, the position which emerge out is that the till date the claimant/workman has not filed any
statement of claim.
Moreover, as a matter of fact and record, workman, Avinash Singh or his authorized representative has not turned up
before this Tribunal nor has filed any statement of claim, till date.
Findings & Conclusion:
Taking into consideration the fact that till date no statement of claim has been filed by the claimant in order to
establish his claim as per the reference dated 08.06.2020.
So in view of the said facts, as well as the law laid by the Hon’ble High Court in the case of V. K. Raj Industries v.
Labour Court (I) and others 1981 (29) FLR 194 as under:
“It is well settled that if a party challenges the legality of an order, the burden lies upon him to prove
illegality of the order and if no evidence is produced the party invoking jurisdiction of the Court must fail.
Whenever a workman raises a dispute challenging the validity of the termination of service if is imperative
for him to file written statement before the Industrial Court setting out grounds on which the order is
challenged and he must also produce evidence to prove his case. If the workman fails to appear or to file
written statement or produce evidence, the dispute referred by the State Government cannot be answered in
favour of the workman and he would not be entitled to any relief.”
In the case of M/s Uptron Powertronics Employees’ Union, Ghaziabad through its Secretary v. Presiding Officer,
Labour Court (II), Ghaziabad and others 2008 (118) FLR 1164 Hon’ble Allahabad High Court has held as under:
“The law has been settled by the Apex Court in case of Shanker Chakravarti v. Britannia Biscuit Co. Ltd.,
V.K. Raj Industries v. Labour Court and Ors., Airtech Private Limited v. State of U.P. and Ors. 1984 (49)
FLR 38 and Meritech India Ltd. v. State of U.P. and Ors. 1996 FLR that in the absence of any evidence led
by or on behalf of the workman the reference is bound to be answered by the court against the workman. In
such a situation it is not necessary for the employers to lead any evidence at all. The obligation to lead
evidence to establish an allegation made by a party is on the party making the allegation. The test would be,
who would fail if no evidence is led.”
And by the Hon’ble Allahabad High Court in the case of District Administrative Committee, U.P. P.A.C.C.S.C.
Services v. Secretary-cum-G.M. District Co-operative Bank Ltd. 2010 (126) FLR 519; wherein it has been held as
under:
“The submission is that even if the petitioner failed to lead the evidence, burden was on the shoulders of the
respondent to prove the termination order as illegal. He was required to lead evidence first which he failed.
A perusal of the impugned award also does not show that any evidence either oral or documentary was led
by the respondent. In the case of no evidence, the reference has to be dismissed.”
1204
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
As the workman has not filed any statement of claim/oral/documentary evidence, so the present case is liable to be
dismissed.
For the foregoing reasons, the case is dismissed and; and the workman is not entitled for any relief.
Award as above.

The Principal Employer is present through its learned counsel.
Record shows since 31.10.2016, Union has stopped taking part in the proceeding and has failed to produce ww-1 for
his cross examination by the Management.
Such conduct on the part of the union give rise to a presumption that it is no more interested to pursue
with the dispute referred by the Govt. of India, Ministry of Labour, through its order No. L-42011/200/2011 dated
27.02.2012 to this Tribunal for adjudication of the issue “Whether the action of M/s. JM Envirotech Technologies
Pvt. Ltd, a contractor of Director, DCSEM, DAE, Mumbai in terminating the services of 9 contract workmen(namely
S/Shri 1. Sandesh Patil, 2. Kishore Bure, 3. Vinod Dawalekar, 4. Gaurav Valmiki, 5. Murugan Sarangam, 6. Dinesh
Kagda, 7. Hariram Chauhan, 8. Siraj Khan(Since expired) w.e.f. 10/06/2010 & 9. Shri Siraj Khan w.e.f. 1.6.2010 is
legal and justified? Whether the demand of the union of reinstatement of these contract workmen with continuity in
service and full back wages is legal and justified? What relief the workmen are entitled to?
Unfortunately, I do not find any material in the record to support the claim of the Union, to prove that
contractor employees named above were illegally terminated from their service without complying the provision of
sec. 25F of the I.D. Act, or that those workmen had rendered service for more than 240 days during the period of
twelve months or that those workmen were engaged to do the work against sanctioned vacant post and as such those
workmen are entitled to restatement with back wages save and except corroborated statement of claim.
In view of the above no dispute award is passed. Accordingly Reference case No.CGIT-11 of 2012 is
hereby disposed of.

Parties are found absent when the matter is called.
Record shows the authorized representative of the union has not been appearing since 29.10.2021.
It is very interesting to note the Govt. of India, through Ministry of Labour, has referred the dispute in question vide
its order No. L-42011/35/2020(IR(DU)) dated 17.07.2020 and union who has put its appearance through its
authorized representative on 04.12.2020 has failed to file its claim statement till date.
Such conduct on the part of the union prove that union who has espoused the dispute vide its letter dated
22.04.2019 for payments of arrears in salary of its 11 contract workers (whose names are enclosed in a list attached
with reference order) from July 2014 to January, 2016, to the Management of M/s. UTI AMC Co. Pvt. Ltd, and M/s.

“Whether the services of the workman Sh. Masud Ahmed S/o Sh. Ershad Siddiqui, have been terminated by
the management and /or unjustifiably and if so to what relief is he entitled and what directions are necessary in this
regard?”
2.
In the reference order, the appropriate Government commanded the parties raising the dispute to file
statement of claim, complete with relevant documents, list of reliance and witnesses with this Tribunal within 15 days
of receipt of the reference order and to forward a copy of such statement of claim to the opposite parties involved in
the dispute. Despite directions so given, claimant opted not to file the claim statement.
3.On receipt of the above reference, notice was sent to the workman as well as the management. Neither the postal
article sent to the claimant, referred above, was received back nor was it observed by the Tribunal that postal services
remained unserved in the period, referred above. Therefore, every presumption lies in favour of the fact that the
above notice was served upon the claimant. Despite service of the notice, claimant opted to abstain away from the
proceedings. No claim statement was filed on his behalf. Thus, it is clear that the workman is not interested in
adjudication of the reference on merits.
4.Since the workman has neither put his appearance nor has he led any evidence so as to prove his cause against the
management, this Tribunal is left with no choice, except to pass a ‘No Dispute/Claim’ award. Let this award be sent
to the appropriate Government, as required under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, for publication.

SCHEDULE
1. “Whether Shri Jeet Lal Maurya is an employee of the management of BSNL? If yes, the action of the
management in terminating his services in September 2011 and not making due payment is justified?
if not, what relief the concerned workman is entitled to?”
The averments of the claimant workman may be concisely stated as narrated below:-
The claimant workman was engaged by the management on 02.02.2007 for the post of guard. The management
took the work of labourer from the claimant workman. Though the management was supposed to take the work for 90
days only from the claimant workman the rules were violated and O.P management took work from the claimant
worked for more than 90 days. The service of the claimant workman was terminated on 02.04.2012 in contravention
of the ID Act. During the period of service the claimant workman received the salary from the management of the
B.S.N.L but for the period of 01.09.2011 to 02.04.2012 management failed to pay the salary to the claimant workman.
The claimant workman prayed before the Tribunal to reinstate the claimant workman with back wages with continuity
of service and other benefits as deemed fit in the eye of the Law.
The averments of the management may be summarized as follows -
The claimant workman has never been appointed or engaged in any capacity what so ever by the opposite party.
The claimant workman was not an employee of the opposite party.
The opposite party is an organization of the Government of India. It has to work as per Acts, Rules and guidelines
issued by the Government of India issued from time to time. If any appointment is to be made, applications are invited
through Employment Exchange/Advertisements from candidates as per criteria prescribed such as age, qualification,
reservation if any etc. After a proper interview/selection process, the successful candidate is issued an appointment
1210

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
letter specifying there in name of the Post, pay scale, place of posting etc. The opposite party has not appointed the
applicant on any post what so ever.
It was further vehemently stated by the management side that it was not industrial dispute, therefore the reference
was not maintainable and as such the reference was liable to be dismissed.
On perusal of the record it is found that though several dates were fixed for cross examination the claimant
workman did not appear before this Tribunal. Despite ample opportunities to the claimant workman for cross
examination, the claimant workman failed to present the case before the Tribunal. Finally the case was reserved for
award for non-appearance of the claimant workman. Pleadings are not read as substantive evidence.
From the aforesaid circumstances it is presumable that the claimant workman is not interested in prosecuting
the case further before this Tribunal.
Hence in the given circumstances the reference stands disposed of as of ‘NIL’ award.
Parties are left to bear their respective costs.

section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947(hereinafter called the Act), has
referred the following Industrial dispute for adjudication to this Tribunal:-
[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]
भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945
1211
“Whether the action of the management of Doordarshan Kendra, Jalandhar in terminating
the services of their workman Shri Rakesh Kumar w.e.f. 30.04.2007 is legal and justified? If
not, what relief the workman is entitled to?”
1.
The brief facts relevant for deciding this claim petition is that as per claim of workman, the workman was
employed as a Typist with respondent-Doordarshan Kendra, Jalandhar on 21.09.2000 on the salary of Rs.1400/- per
month and worked continuously till 30.04.2007(sometimes even on Sundays) without any break even for a single day.
The workman was drawing a salary of Rs.4000/- per month when his services were illegally terminated. The
workman had worked for more than 240 days in every year including the immediately preceding 12 months from the
date when his services were terminated. In order to facilitate the entry of the workman to the premises of Doordarshan
Kendra, a certificate used to be issued month-wise to facilitate issuance of entry pass which clearly states that the
workman have been working in the Coordination as resource person from 1st to 31st of a particular month. The
programme executive issued a certificate in favour of workman, stating that that the workman have been working as
General Assistant(Computer Data Entry Operator) for the last 3 years. The services of the workman was terminated
on 30.04.2007 without any notice or payment of any compensation in accordance with the provision of Section 25-F
of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.the persons junior to the workman were retained in service of Doordarshan
Kendra, Jalandhar. No charge-sheet was served upon the workman nor any opportunity of hearing was given to him.
The management belatedly violated the principles of natural justice while terminating the services of the workman. It
is therefore, prayed that the reference may kindly be decided in favour of the workman, directing the management of
Doordarshan Kendra to reinstate the workman in service and pay all the back wages for the intervening period along
with all consequential benefits.
2.
Management filed written statement, alleging therein that the workman is not falls within the definition of
workman. There is no relationship of workman and employer between the workman and the answering-respondent.
The workman has not come to the Court with clean. It is denied that the workman Sh. Rakesh Kumar was employed
as a Typist in Doordarshan Kendra, Jalandhar from 21.09.2000 till 30.04.2007 continuously without any break. The
work was given to him as a Typist on contract/assignment basis only for 40 days in the year 2000 and 48 days in the
year 2001. The workman also engaged w.e.f. 12.07.2001 to 30.04.2007 as a Computer Operator, Resource Person and
Program Assistant as and when required on assignment basis on short spell. The workman never worked for 240 days
in any calendar year. Moreover, the DOP&Ts Scheme dated 10th of September 1993 for grant of temporary status and
regularization of casual workers is applicable to the casual labourers and not for Typist. The scheme came into force
w.e.f. 01.09.1993. The workman was not in employment on 10.09.1993 nor he worked for 240 days in any calendar
year, the scheme is not applicable in his case for regularization of his services. It is denied that the workman worked
for more than 240 days in every year including the immediately proceedings 12 months. When the workman was not
employed by the management, there is no question of issuance of charge-sheet and providing him any opportunity of
hearing. It is therefore, respectfully prayed that the claim of the workman may kindly be dismissed with heavy costs.
3.
Parties were given opportunity to lead evidence. In support of his case, the workman has examined himself
as WW1 and filed his affidavit in evidence as Ex.WW1/A along with documents Ex.WW1/1 to Ex.WW1/15(Coly)
and was cross-examined by the management.
4.
The management has examined MW1 Sh. Jasbir Singh, who filed his affidavit in evidence as Ex.MW1/A
and MW2 Sh. Puneet Sehgal, Assistant Director(Programme), who filed his affidavit in evidence as Ex.MW1/A and
has been cross-examined by the learned counsel for workman.
5.
I have heard Sh. R.P. Rana, AR for the workman and Sh. J.K.S. Chhabra, AR for the management and
perused the file carefully.
6.
The Hon’ble Apex Court in case of “Deepali Gundu Surwase v. Kranti Junion Adhyapak
Mahavidyalaya” reported as (2013) 10 SCC 324 has held as under:-
“The propositions which can be culled out from the aforementioned judgments are:
i)
In cases of wrongful termination of service, reinstatement with continuity of service and back
wages is the normal rule.
ii)
Ordinarily, an employee or workman whose services are terminated and who is desirous of
getting back wages is required to either plead or at least make a statement before the adjudicating
authority or the Court of first instance that he/she was not gainfully employed or was employed on
lesser wages. If the employer wants to avoid payment of full back wages, then I has to plead and
also lead cogent evidence to prove that the employee/workman was gainfully employed and was
getting wages equal to the wages he/she was drawing prior to the termination of service. This is so
because it is settled law that the burden of proof of the existence of a particular fact lies on the
person who makes a positive averments about its existence. It is always easier to prove a positive
1212
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
fact than to prove a negative fact. Therefore, once the employee shows that he was employed, the
onus lies on the employer to specifically plead and prove that the employee was gainfully employed
and was getting the same or substantially similar emoluments.”
7.
Hon’ble Apex Court in the case General Manager, Haryana Roadways Vs. Rudan Singh, reported as
2005 SCC (L & S) 716 observed as under:-
“There is no rule of thumb that in every case where the Industrial Tribunal gives a finding that the
termination of service was in violation of Section 25-F of the Act, entire back wages should be awarded. A
host of factors like the manner and method of selection and appointment i.e. whether after proper
advertisement of the vacancy or inviting applications from the employment exchange, nature of
appointment namely, whether ad hoc, short term, daily wage, temporary or permanent in character, any
special qualification required for the job and the like should be weighed and balanced in taking a decision
regarding award of back wages. One of the important factors which has to be taken into consideration
is the length of service, which the workman had rendered with the employer. If the workman has
rendered a considerable period of service and his services are wrongfully terminated, he may be
awarded full or partial back wages keeping in view the fact that at this age and the qualification
possessed by him he may not be in a position to get another employment. However, where the total
length of service rendered by a workman is very small, the award of back wages for the complete
period i.e. from the date of termination till the date of the award, which our experience shows is often
quite large, would be wholly inappropriate. A regular service of permanent character cannot be
compared to short or intermittent daily wage employment though it may be for 240 days in a calendar
year.”
8.
The Hon’ble Apex Court while considering the violation of Section 25-F of the Act in Incharge Officer &
Anr. V. Shankar Shetty, (2010) 9 SCC 126: 2010 LLR 1137 and after referring to the various decisions, held that
the relief by way of back wages is not automatic and compensation instead of reinstatement has been held to meet the
ends of justice and it was observed as under:-
“2. Should an order of reinstatement automatically follow in a case where the engagement of a daily
wager has been brought to end in violation of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947(for
short “the ID Act”)? The course of the decisions of this Court in recent years has been uniform on
the above question.
3. In Jagbir Singh V. Haryana State Agriculture Mktg. Board, (2009) 15 SCC 327, delivering the
judgment of this Court, one of the us (R.M. Lodha, J.) noticed some of the recent decisions of this
Court, namely, U.P. State Brassware Corpn. Ltd. V. Uday Narain Pandey, (2006) 1 SCC 479;
Uttaranchal Forest Development Corpn. V. M.C. Joshi, (2007) 9 SCC 353; State of M.P. v. Lalit
Kumar Verma, (2007) 1 SCC 575; M.P. Admn. V. Tribhuban, (2007) 9 SCC 748; Sita Ram v. Moti
Lal Nehru Farmers Training Institute, (2008)5 SCC 75; Jaipur Development Authority v. Ramsahai,
(2006) 11 SCC 684; GDA v. Ashok Kumar, (2008) 4 SCC 261 and Mahboob Deepak v. Nagar
Panchayat, Gajraula, (2008) 1 SCC 575 and stated as follows: (Jagbir Singh case (2009) 11 SCC 327,
SCC pp. 330 & 335, paras 7 & 14)
“7. It is true that the earlier view of this Court articulated in many decisions reflected the legal
position that if the termination of an employee was found to be illegal, the relief of reinstatement with
full back-wages would ordinarily follow. However, in recent past, there has been a shift in the legal
position and in a long line of cases, this Court has consistently taken the view that relief by way of
reinstatement with back-wages is not automatic and may be wholly inappropriate in a given fact
situation even though the termination of an employee is in contravention of the prescribed
procedure. Compensation instead of reinstatement has been held to meet the ends of justice.
14. It would be, thus, seen that by a catena of decisions in recent time, this Court has clearly laid
down that an order of retrenchment passed in violation of Section 25F although may be set aside but
an award of reinstatement should not, however, be automatically passed.”
9.
In view of legal position discussed above, this Court is of the considered view that workman herein was not
holding a regular or permanent post nor he was recruited against the post is a regular manner. In such circumstances,
it is appropriate to grant reasonable compensation instead of reinstatement with back wages.
10.
As such, having due regard to the facts and circumstances, an amount of Rs.1,00,000/-(One Lakh) appears to
be just and reasonable to which the workman is entitled. In case, the amount of Rs.1,00,000/-(One Lakh) not paid
within one month from the date of publication of the award, the workman is held to be entitled to 6% interest from the
date of reference till payment. File after completion be consigned in the record room.

42011/101/2020-IR(DU) dated 24/09/2020 has been pleased to refer the following dispute between the employers, i.e.
the Management of M/s. Pronob Ganguly Security Agency and their workman for adjudication by this Tribunal.
SCHEDULE
“Whether the termination of Sri Shyamal Kumar Dewan, Ex-Security Guard by M/s. Pranab
Ganguly Security Agency, a contractor under NTPC, Katwa is proper and justified? If not, what
relief Sri Shyamal Kumar Dewan is entitled to? What other directions, if any, are necessary in this
regard?”
1. After receipt of order No. L-42011/101/2020-IR(DU) dated 24/09/2020 of the aforesaid Reference framed by
Ministry of Labour, Government of India, New Delhi for adjudication, a Reference case No. 23 of 2020 was
registered on 17/06/2021. Notices were issued to parties under registered post directing them to appear and file their
written statements along with relevant documents and respective list of witnesses they would like to rely upon.
2.
The case is fixed up today for the evidence of workman witness, Shyamal Kumar Dewan, Ex-Security
Guard. The petitioner has appeared in person. He is represented by co-employee. Mr. Bijoy Kumar Biswas,
authorized representative of M/s. Pronob Ganguly Security Agency is representing the employer. The principal
employer NTPC is not a party herein.
3. Industrial Dispute referred to this Tribunal is “whether the termination of Sri Shyamal Kumar Dewan, Ex-Security
Guard by M/s. Pranab Ganguly Security Agency, a contractor under NTPC, Katwa is proper and justified? If not,
what relief Sri Shyamal Kumar Dewan is entitled to? What other directions, if any, are necessary in this regard?”
4.
In the instant case, written statement has been submitted by the workman claiming that an order of
deployment 90:10 vide L-No 28(3)/2012.0(Res-1) GOI, Ministry of Defence (Dept. of Ex-Servicemen welfare), New
Delhi dated 09 July-2012 was issued by the Ministry of Defence and as per above order NTPC Katwa and Agency
selected twenty Ex-Military and two Ex-BSF from September – 2016 and he continued till 31/07/2019 but suddenly
Agency terminated him for being an Ex-BSF Personnel, treating him as a Civilian person.
5. The contractor M/s. Pranob Ganguly Security Agency, in their written statement in reply claimed that Shyamal
Kumar Dewan, Ex-Security Guard is an Ex-BSF Personnel and the employer farm is an empanelled security agency
under Director General Resettlement (DGR), Ministry of Defence, New Delhi – 66. DGR is responsible for
resettlement of Ex-Servicemen from the Army, Navy and Air Force. This facility is given to Ex-Defence Forces since
they retire young. However, it is urged that definition of Ex-Servicemen (ESM) is mentioned in the DGR site and
Personnel of Border Security Force (BSF) is not included in the list of Ex-Servicemen. BSF is under Home Ministry,
Government of India and considered as Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) and not ESM. It is stated that they have
their own resettlement process and do not come under the purview of DGR, Ministry of Defence for the purpose of
deployment of security guards and BSF is considered as “Civilian” Category. It is the case of the opposite
party/employing agency that the work order of principal employer i.e. NTPC Management clearly stated that they
wanted Ex-Military Personnel for deployment at the site and not civilian. As the Management insisted that civilian
guard be changed with Military guards, service of Shyamal Kumar Dewan was terminated.
6. The matter is taken up for hearing. It appeared that Principal employer NTPC is not a party and no Notice was
issued to it. No document is produced by the aggrieved workman to establish the employer-employee relationship
between him and the Management of NTPC, Katwa. Therefore, the workman cannot claim any relief from the
principal employer. It is undisputed on part of the workman and no rejoinder was filed by him denying the statement
made by his direct employer, M/s. Pronob Ganguly Security Agency that the Management of NTPC, Katwa wanted
Ex-Military Personnel only for deployment and not civilian. Under such circumstances, the workman Shyamal Kumar
Dewan is not entitled to any relief from the principal employer, NTPC Katwa. With reference to the termination of
Shyamal Kumar Dewan by M/s. Pronob Ganguly Security Agency, a contractor farm, the conditions under section
25F of Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 have to be complied. The workman who has been employed for not less than one
year under employer should be given one month Notice in writing indicating reason for retrenchment and the
1216
THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945
[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
workman has to be paid one month’s wage in lieu of such Notice. He is also required to be paid a compensation
equivalent to fifteen days’ average pay for every completed year of continuous service in excess of six months. In this
case the workman Shyamal Kumar Dewan is entitled to appropriate compensation in lieu of Notice of retrenchment
and for the period he served under the Agency.
Hence,
ORDER
The reference case is disposed of in favour of Shyamal Kumar Dewan, the workman who shall be entitled to
compensation for his retrenchment from his direct employer i.e. M/s. Pronob Ganguly Security Agency for the Notice
period as well as a sum equivalent to fifteen days’ wage for the period of service he rendered under the Agency. The
workman is not entitled to any relief from NTPC, Katwa. Let an Award be drawn up in favour of the workman.
Accordingly, copies of same be sent to the Ministry for information.

AWARD
In the present case, a reference was received from the appropriate Government vide reference
no. L-42012/01/2022 IR(DU) dated 15.02.2022 under clause (d) of sub-section (1) and sub-section (2A) of Section 10
of the Act, for adjudication of a dispute, terms of which are as under:
“Whether the claim of Shri Ranjeet Dass and 20 others vide letter dated 20.05.2021 that their services
have been terminated illegally and /or unjustifiably by the management of M/s All Services Global
Private Limited, Delhi is proper, legal and justified? If yes, to what relief are the disputant workers
entitled and what directions are necessary in this respect?”
2.
In the reference order, the appropriate Government commanded the parties raising the dispute to file
statement of claim, complete with relevant documents, list of reliance and witnesses with this Tribunal within 15 days
of receipt of the reference order and to forward a copy of such statement of claim to the opposite parties involved in
the dispute. Despite directions so given, Claimants opted not to file the claim statement with the Tribunal.
3.
On receipt of the above reference, notice was sent to the workman as well as the managements. Neither the
postal article sent to the claimant, referred above, was received back nor was it observed by the Tribunal that postal
services remained unserved in the period, referred above. Therefore, every presumption lies in favour of the fact that
the above notice was served upon the claimants union. Despite service of the notice, claimants union opted to abstain
away from the proceedings. No claim statement was filed on their behalf. Thus, it is clear that the claimants are not
interested in adjudication of the reference on merits.
4.
Since the claimants neither put their appearance nor led any evidence so as to prove their cause against the
managements, this Tribunal is left with no choice, except to pass a ‘No Dispute/Claim’ award. Let this award be sent
to the appropriate Government, as required under Section 17 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, for publication.
