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.

" Whether the demand of Punjab & Sindh Bank Staff Association, Lucknow vide representation dated

26.12.2020( copy enclosed) in respect of Shri Sidhant Kumar, PTS is covered under the provision of

the Bipartite Settlement dated 10.04.2002? If Yes, whether the action of the management of Punjab &

enclosed) against Shri Sidhant Kumar, PTS working at Powayan Branch, Shahjahanpur is fair and

legal? If not, what relief Shri Sidhant Kumar, PTS is entitled to?"

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

been field by claimant in spite of repeated opportunity given to him, the present reference may be dismissed.

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.

1. The reference dates back to 21.10.2011.The second party submitted the statement of claim Ex.11 on

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.

In view of rival pleadings of both the parties, my learned predecessor framed issues vide Exh. O-7. The said

issues are reproduced here-in-below with my findings thereon for reasons to follow :-

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.

Hence,

ORDERED

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.

[भाग II—खण् ड 3(ii)]

भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945

1121

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

The reference be, and the same is answered against the claimants. The claim having not been established,

this no dispute award is passed.

The mgt introduced a rule regarding attendance and late coming of the workman in Ghaziabad by

incorporating Section 8 in the original satisfy standing order as per this all workmen shall report for work in the

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

The schedule mentioned in that order is:

“Whether the action of the Management of M/s Almaadhi Semen Station, Chennai (Principal

Employer) through M/s Vijay Security & Facility Services, Contractor in not giving

employment to 9 workers (List Attached) as raised by Uthukottai Vattra Amaippusara Aatrum

Pothu Thozhilalar Sangam is proper, legal and justified? If not, to what reliefs are the workers

entitled to? What directions, if any, are necessary in this regard?”

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’

filed V nama. Accordingly the Petitioner was directed to

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,

without resorting to any coercive step against the Petitioner the Tribunal so-motto afforded more adjournments as

last chance fixing the case to 28.11.2022. The Petitioner did not turn up nor furnished Claim Statement in any

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

nor any A/R / Counsel appeared. The Claim Statement was not filed. The case was reserved for Final Order. It

would not be out of place to mention that Petitioner did not appear till the date nor filed any petition to file Claim

was noticed in the ID case, simply because of non-appearance and non-compliance by the Petitioner. In the

circumstance it deems proper not to re-list the case for the same purpose. The case was accordingly posted for

final order.

Dated:

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)]

भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945

1167

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)]

भारत का रािपत्र : अप्रैल 22, 2023/ वैिाख 2, 1945

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.

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

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.

1176

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

THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : APRIL 22, 2023/ VAISAKHA 2, 1945

[PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]

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.

Anand Consultant Services, Mumbai, is no more interested to pursue the dispute or the present reference case.

That apart there is no material on record to decide the dispute or issue under reference.

Accordingly, “No Dispute Award” is hereby passed and Reference CGIT No. 9 of 2020 is disposed of.

In the present case, a reference was received from the appropriate Government vide reference no. L-

(2A) of Section 10 of the Act, for adjudication of a dispute, terms of which are as under:

“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.
