AWARD
By Order No. 28/10/G9-LWI-III, dated April 16, 1969. the Government of India, in the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Rehabilitation (Department of Labour and Employment), referred the following industrial dispute, on the Joint application of the employers in relation to the Commissioners for the Port of Calcutta and their workmen represented by Calcutta Pert Shrumik Union end the National Union of Waterfront Workers, to this tnb.i'ul, for adjudicaticn, namely:—
"In the matter of filling up the existing and future vLii-anciPS against posts (if Sanitary Inspectors under the Calcutta Port Commissioners' Medi- cal Department, which one of the following two alternative principles should be adopted:
(a) The Sanitary Sub-Inspectors' not possessing1 recognised certificates b"t passing the departmental examination held "by the Port Com- missioners' Medical Department In accordance with the accepted decision in this regard and the Sanitary Sub-Inspectors with requisite qualifications recognised by the appropriate Government be considered for promotion on the basis of their length of service in the cadre of Sanitary Sub-Inspector;
OR
(h) The Sanitary 'Sub-Inspectors possessing requisite qualifications re- cognised by the appropriate Government and the Sanitary Sub- Inspectors who pass the departmental examination held by the Commissioners' Medical Department in accordance with the accep- ted decision in this regard be considered for promotion in the order of the dates of obtaining the qualifications: The date of qualifi- cation in the case of those appointed with qualifications being considered effective from the date of appointment in the cadre of Sanitary Sub-Inspectors and in the case of those who pass depart- mental examination being considered effective from the date on which
Stc. 3(ii)l THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUOUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3527they are declared to have passed the examination by the depart- ment."
2 The National Union of Waterfront Workers ;.nd the Calcutta Port Shramik Union both filed their respective written statement. The Commissioner for the Port of Calcutta filed two rejoinders replying to Ihe two wiitteu statements. 1 need state at the outset that Mr. R, N. Ghoshal, Deputy Secretary, Calcutta Port Commissioners, who appeared for the Port Commissioners, submitted that the Commissioners would not have any objection in adopting the first of the two alterna- tives as in clause (a) of the Schedule to the Order of Reference, in the matter of promotion of Sanitary Sub-Inspectors to the posts of Sanitary Inspectors. If the two unions of workmen would also agree Mr. D. 1 Sen Gupt,i learned advocate i'or the Port Shramik: Union, expressed his readiness and willingness to accept the first of the two alternative principles but Mr. Biren Banerjee, learned advocate for the National Union of Waterfront Workers, objected to the adoption of the first of the two alternative principles in the order of referance.
?,. In tills background I have to examine the pleadings in this case, In para- graph 5 of the rejoinder by the Commissioners for the Port of Calcutta to the written statement filed by the National Union of Waterfront Workers, the lollcwing passage appears:
"•*• with a view to deal with all matters concerning Hie conservancy of the Commissioners' shore properties including all sanitary arrange- ments and antl-malavia work in the Port area, arrangements for ensuring the purity of the water supplied by tne Commissioners to the ships and the sanitation including measures against Infectious diseases etc., of the entire residential accommodation provided by the Commissioners both for inferior and superior staff, the Commis- sioners decided that conservancy arrangements and other work of a public health nature be placed under a Health Officer with bis own staff under their Resolution No. 1802 of 7th October, 1946. • • • The Commissioners in making the appointments adjusted the existing personnel working In various departments of the Commissioners for the purposes of conservancy and sanitary arrangements In the Port offices and Inland Vessels. Wharves and also recruited same men from outside. * * * The Commissioners state that at the outset when tne posts of Sanitary Inspectors were filled the r-xistintf quaMfied men were promoted and the rest of the vacancies were fl led by recruiting Sanitary Inspectors with requisite qualifications approved by the State Government or the Central Government cr army qualifications of an equivalent standard. The Commissioners further state that the matters, regarding the requisite qualifications which the candidates were required to possess in order to be eligible fnr consideration for various posts of the Health Section, were decided by the Standing Establishment Committee of the Commissioners."
The decision of the Standing Establishment Committee referred to above is Ext. 2 m this reference and is dated January 11 and 18, 1950. TTw'inbcio'.v, is set out the material portion of the said decision:
"The Committee met in pursuance of the Chairman's direction to fix the minimum qualification for the different categories of posts under the Health Officer and to examine the qualifications and suitability of every member of the Health Officer's technical stall.
The mi'iimum qualifications which candidates must PCSCMS in order to be eli- gible for consideration filed up by direct recruitment should, in the opinion of "Ihe Committee, be as follows:

As regards the existing incumbents of the post§ of Sanitary Sub-Inspectors, the Committee recommended that they be required to pass a depart- mental test to be conducted jointly by the Chief Medical Officer and the Health Officer within the next six months ana that the services of any one who faim to pass the test be terminated. The above re- commendation, however, does not apply to Messrs R. N. Chandra, S, K. Roy and K. G. Banerjee who hold Army qualifications equiva- lent to those laid down as the minimum qualiucation for the posts.
The Committee further recommend that there should be arrangements by means of which those of the existing Sanitary Sub-Inspectors who pass the departmental examination recommended above obtain chances of promotion to posts of Sanitary Inspector after they have rendered ten years service and on passing a second iiualifying exami- nation be held by tho Chief Medical Officer and the Health Officer."
The departmental examination referred to above is of an unconventional type. This appears from Annexure C (Minutes of the Meeting between the Deputy Chairman and representatives of the Calcutta Port Shramik Union) to the re- joinder of the Port Commissioners to the written statement filed by the National Union of WHterfront Workers and the relevant portion from the uald Annexure ia set out below:
"2. Shri Chatterjee *** stated that the Sanitary Sub-Inspectors who had not passed the second departmental examination haa on various occasions been permitted to act as Sanitary Inspectors He pointed out that his Union did not want the standard of service to be lowered and he agreed that ordinarily only qualified persons snould be appointed as Sanitary Sub-Inspectors. He felt, nowever, that in view of the expedience of the persons concerned and the fact that they had already passed a departmental examination, if the Head of the Department weie satisfied with their work, they need not be esked to appear for departmental examination
3. The Deputy Chairman observed that the Sanitary Sub-Inspectors concerned had merely carried out the duties of Sanitary Inspectors on certain occasions for short periods when the latter were on leave. These were purely ad-hoc arrangements and did not confer on the employees concerned any claim for promotion to the higher posts or. regular long term basis. He added that their recommendation for a second departmental examination had been made Dy the Standing Establishment Committee, which was composed of several Heads of Departments and that the Chief Medical Officer himself also con- sidered that such examination was necessary for the purpose of de- termining the suitability of the unqualified Sanitary Sub-Inspectors for posts of Sanitary Inspector. The Deputy Chairman added that
SEC. 3(ii)] THE OAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3529he was happy to learn thai, the Union did not want the standard of service to be lowered. He urged the Union to advise the candidates to Bit for the examination.
4. The Chief Medical Officer assured the Union representatives that the exami- nation would be conductde in a fair manner andwould be restricted to_matters reialingto their day to day work or _such work as Ihey might be required to perform. He also agreed to hold the examina- tion alter three months so that the candidates might Ret sufficient time for preparation. (Underlined for emphasis).
5. The Deputy Chairman stated that the examination would be a qualify- ing one and that those who would fail at the first attempt would be given another chance. The llrst examination would be held after three months and the second examination after six months f-orn now The candidates who would pass the examination either at the first attempt or at the second attempt would retain their original spniori ty and would be eligible for promotion to regular vacancies in the posts of Sanitary Inspector in that order of seniorty."
4. The grievance of the National Union of Waterfront Workers as tUted in their written statement appears to be as hereinafter stated. They say that the departmental examination which the unqualified Sanitary Sub-Inspectois are re- quired to pass., in order to be eligible 1or promotion, is a meaninglcs examination because there Is no syllabus or curriculum of Study prescribed therefor. They say that they took up this point with the Chief Medical Officer, in their letter dated February 12, 1968 (Annexure B to the written statement), which is set out below:
"Would you please fix up a date for discussion with us on the undermen- tioned points:
(i) Whether the Syllabus for the proposed examination of the (unqualifi- ed) Sub-Inspectors has been prescribed as much as the standard of the Govrenment sponsored Institutions from which the existing Sub- Inspectors passed out qualified.
(il)Whe1her the C.P.C, or the Department concerned can issue any qualify- ing certificate to any candidate after your method of examination exactly to the certificates of the same technical qualification as has been Issued to qualified Sub-Inspectors from the Government
(ill) How the Seniority position will stand between the two categories of Sub-Inspectors i.e. the qualified and the unqualified passed out of your proposed Departmental Examination.
We would further request you that this particular issue should please be kept in abeyance until such time the above three points have been discussed with us."
To that letter the Chief Medical nffleer gave the following reply, dated Febru- ary 27, 1968 (Annexure C to the written statement):
"The examination In question for the unqualified Sanitary Sub-Inspectors Is only a departmental examination which is required to be he n according to a decision of the standing Establishment Committee. In such an examination the question of a syllabus or issuing of a certi- ficate as mentioned in sub-para (I) and (ii) of para 1 of your letter does not arise. With regard to the question of seniority It has been decided by the administration that the unqualified Sanitary Sub- Inspector after qualifying for the post of Sanitary Inspector will be regarded as junior to these qualified Sanitary Sub-Inspectors pro- moted to the post of Sanitary Inspector at an earlier date."
The stand taken by the National Union of Waterfront Workers is that in n-der to he qualified as a Sanitary Inspector or a Sanitary Sub-Inspector, the candidate must have the minimum qualification as prescribed by the model rules unde^ the Bengal Municipal Act, 1932 or the Amendment to the Notification No. 147OM, dated the 9th April, 1934, introduced by the Government of West Bengal Depart- ment of Health (Public Health Branch) Notification, dated 21st October, 1902. which reads:
"A pass certificate for Sanitarv Inspectorship from the Training Centre at Burdwan, West Bengal, lor traininR of Health Personnel under the
3530 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART II—administrative control of the Directorate of Health Services, Wejt Bengal, or an equivalent qualification recognised by Government^ Provided that Sanitary Inspectors, possessing qualifications prescri- bed by other State Governments or by the Government of Pakistan or Burma, who are already in the employ of a Municipality in West Bengal or of the Government of West Bengal, shall be deemed to possess the requisite qualifications for appointment as Sanitary Inspectors."
On the strength of the aforesaid notification it was stated that qualified Sanitary Sub-Inspector can never be superseded "by unqualified Sanitary Sub-Inspectors by means of a process not sanctioned by any law.
5. I need not quote from the written statement of the Calcutta Port Shramik Sub-Inspector can never be superseded by unqualified Sanitary Sub-Inspectors by tion by the Port Commissioners in the matter of promotion of unquulitled Sub- Inspectors should be followed. It was also made clear to me, from the veiy beginning, that the Port Shramik Union would be satisfied to have the benefits of the first of the two alternatives as in Clause (a) of the order of Reierence. I have already made it clear that Calcutta Port Comissioners also are not opposed to grant the benefit of the first of the two alternatives in the order of inference to the unqualified Sanitary Sub-Inspectors provided the objection by the National Union of Waterfront Workers be over ruled.
6. In my opinion the Model Rules under the Bengal Municipal Act and the Notification, dated October 21, 1962, contain very desirable rules for recruitment of Sanitary Inspectors but may not be the only rules for such recruitment. Others may also learn the work by long service, guided by efficient men, and their ability may be tested by departmental examination. I, therefore, over-rule the extreme argument that the recognised certificate holders must always be pre ferred to departmentally trained men, even if on test the latter be found to be equally efficient.
7. Dr. Kamal Krishna Sinha. the present Health Officer of the Commissioners for the Port of Calcutta, deposed before this tribunal. He submitted a list (Ext. I) showing that there were only seven unqualified Sub-Inspectors now left who may have to be promoted if they passed the departmental examination. These seven are:

Among the seven, six appeared at the departmental examination and Gne did not. This Is the last batch of Sub-Inspectors who are not holders on recognised diplomas but are only departmentally trained, whose promotion need bf. con- sidered. Hereafter, there will be no occasion for promotion of such persons. Dr. Sinha, the Health Officer, in course of his deposition, stated:
"The Port Commissioners have stopped recruitment of persons who do not possess recognised certificate for the post of Sanitary Sub-Inspector, Recruitment of unqualified Sanitary Sub-Inspector was stopped by resolution of Standing Establishment Committee in a meeting held on 11th and 18th January. 1950. This Is the true copy ctf the oro- ceedlngs (Marked Ext. 2)."
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3531ft1. Sanitary Sub-Inspectors are required to perform the following kinds of work, as stated by Dr. Sinha:
"(i) To work in connection with maintenance of proper sanitation and public health and also in connection with inoculation and vaccination; (ii) To assist the Sanitary Inspectors in performing tneir duties; (iil) Clerical work in connection with their work; (lv) Such other jobs as they may be called upon to do in respect of their nature of duties."
Such work may be learnt by practical training outside schools. Now, health and sanitation work in a congested port area must require competent persons. Posses- sion of a certificate from a recognised Government institution may be a hallmark of such competency. But it cannot be said that those who do not possess such certificates or diplomas can never become competent Sanitary-Sub Inspectors, Work may be learnt by experience and practical training. Unqualified Sanitary Sub-Inspectors, who have put in long years of satisfactory service ano are tested departmental!^ on practical knowledge of their work and found to be fit, may be equally qualified for promotion as Sanitary Inspectors. To hold otherwise would be to put too much value on Certificates and Diplomas issued by recognised Institutions.
9. It may bp that for the purpose of safety and also for the purpose of fighting nepotism, It is better to depend upon recognised certificates. Had it been a cas6 where the Port Commissioners might continue to recruit unqualified men as Sanitary Sub-Inspectors and then promote them as Sanitary Inspectors. I might have hesitations But this is last batch of Sanitary Sub-nspectors, departmentally trained but not holding recognised certificates, whose promotion Is being the ught of. I do not think that it would be reasonable to close their avenues of promotion on the sole ground that they do not hold recognised certificates. If their past services have been satisfactory and if they satisfactorily pass the departmental examination, then they may be promoted.
10. The alternative in Clause (b) of the order of reference need not be con- sidered. Nobody asked for that alternative. If a long term scheme was going to be considered the second alternative might have deserved attention. But for the last batch of seven, this need not be considered.
11. I therefore hold that in the matter of flUing up the existing and future vacancies against posts of Sanitary Inspector under the Calcutta Port Commis- sioners' Medical Department the first of the alternative principles as In Clause (a) of the Schedule to the Order of Reference, should be adopted. I make it clear that this is to be adopted only in respect of the seven Sanitary Sub-Inspectors whose cases are before me. The Port Commissioners are not ffoing to recruit any more unqualified persons, as stated before me, and after these persons are promoted, if they are at all promoted, the question of adoption of either of two principles would never arise.
12. I make it clear that in promoting the seven unqualified Sub-Inspectors, that is to say the Sub-Inspectors who are not holders of recognised certificates, two things shall be taken Into consideration, namely, passing of the departmental examination and seniority in service satisfactory to the Commissioners for the Port of Calcutta.
Thitf is my award. Dated, July_ 29, I960.

AWARD
By an aibitration agreement entered into between Messrs. Kler Sentec, Bombay, and the Building Mazdoor Union, Bombay, under the provisions of section 10A or the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, (Act XIV of 1947), an industrial dispute between them in respect of three subject matters specified in the said a£reement and which are reproduced below was referred to my arbritration. The Government of India, Ministry of Labour, Employment and Rehabilitation (Department of Labour and Employment) bv Order S.O. No. 804 dated 20th February, 1969 made in pursuance of Sub-Section (3) of Section 10A of the Indus- • trial Disputes Act published the said agreement in the Gazette of India Part II Section 3(ii) dated 1st March, 1969. The three subiect matters under dispute are: — Specific Matter in Dispute:
1. (a) "Whether the employees of M/s. Kier-Sentec, Bombay are entitled to Bonus at the rate of 20 per cent of their total annual earnings as per the provisions of the payment of Bonus Act, 1965 per year for the years 1985-66, 1966-67 and 1967-68".
(b) "In the event of the Arbitrator holdng that the employees are not entitled to Bonus under the provisions of the Bonus Act, 1965, whether having regard to the fact that the employees of Bombay Port Trust, and others, who are exempted from the provisions of Bonus Act, 1965, are being paid "ex-gratia" in lieu of Bonua since 1965-116, should the workmen, covered by this reference be paid 'ex-gratia' payments in lieu of Bonus on the grounds of equity and fair play and if so at what rates?". 2. "Whether the action of the management of M/s. Kier-Sentec, Bombay In not granting house rent allowance at the rate of Us. 15/- per month to some of their workmen is justified? If not to what relief are the workmen entitled to and from what date?"
3. "Whether M/s. Kier-Sentec, Bombay are justified in not extending the benefits arising out of the Award of Shri Salim M. Merchant dated 11th April, 1968 to their monthly paid workmen excluding drivers. Peons and Security guards? If not to what relief they are entitled to?"
2. Aiter the reference was made and published Shri K. A. Khan, General Se- cretary, Building Mazdoor Union filed the written statement of claim dated 30th; March 1969 in which he has stated that the Union is a registered trade union oT workers employed in the construction industry and of long-standing and workers of several leading construction establishments in and around the city of Bombay like Messrs. Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Pvt. Ltd , Messrs, Shah Construction Co. Ltd,
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3533rMessrs. Cementation Ltd., and Messrs. Engineering Corporation of India Ltd-, aie its members.
3. With regard to the workmen concerned in the instant reference the Union has stated that they are engaged in the construction activities of Dock Expansion "Scheme and the Ballard Fier Extension Scheme of the Bombay Port Trust which administers the Port of Bombay under the Ministry of Transport, Government! of India. The Union has stated that the work of construction, completion and main- tenance of certain works of Dock expansion and Ballard Pier extension schemes, including dredging and other ancillary works, was tendered for arjd awarded to Messrs. Kier Sentec Ltd., (which at the hearing they corrected to Messrs. Kler Ltd.) a parent company with its registered office In London, Messrs. Sovenska Entre- prenad, (Sentab) another foreign company with its registered office in Stockholm (hereinafter referred to as Sentab) and Messrs. Engineering Construction Corpora- tion Ltd., an Indian company with its registered office in Bombay. The contract awarded by the Bombay Port Trust to these three contractors is being executed by them as a joint venture; that for the purposes of convenience the joint venture is being described as "Kler Sentec" under the administrative charge of a Project Manager.
4. The Union has submitted that these three contractors whilst executing this public sector contract as a Joint venture continue to carry on their usual activities either in the construction industry or othor industries In the respective countries and possibly also in other countries jointly und severally. But the workmen con- cerned engaged in the contract awarded to these three contractors by the Bombay Port Trust are not the only workmen of these contractors either in India or In other countries where their work has been carried out. The Union has stated that the corporate and financial structure of each of-these contractors is not uniform nor Is it Intended that it shall be made uniform for the purposes of carrying out the joint venture undertaken by them in the Bombay Port. The Union has stated that each of the thrfe contractors who have come together in this joint venture have different financial years, different capital structure and different systems of manage- ment; that their financial and other arrangements in relation to these joint ventures are coordinated with the respective financial capital and administrative f-truflures as independent Corporations.
5. The Union in paragraph 9 of Its written statement of claim has stated that for the purposes of determining the Issues under reference the full facts concerning the respective structures of the three contractors should be brought on record as also the arrangements made for co-ordinating the respective roles find responsibi- lities in the joint venture. It has therefore, requested that the Arbitrator should direct the contractors to file their respective balance sheets, and profit and loss accounts statements for the year 1965-66, 1968-67 ana 1967-68. The Union has also prayed that the contractors be directed to file the agreement between them and the Bombay Port Trust. I may pause here and state that in compliance Messrs. Kier Sentec have filed their profit and loss account statements for the years 1P65- f>6. 1968-07 and 1987-68 as confidential exhibits under Section 21 of the Industrial Disputes Act and that a copy of the agreement between the three companies and the Bombay Port Trust has also been produced. The Union has stated that these documents *vere necessary for the purpose of appreciating the financial burden im- posed on the contractors as a result of the present reference. I may also state that I did not pass any orders directing production of the accounts of the three com- panies as prayed for by the Union.
0. Giving a history of the dispute the Union has stated that by its letter dated 30th January 1969 the Union communicated to the contractors its decision to i?o on one day strike on 1st February. 1969 to register Its protest against the delay in •the settlement of the disputes which had already been presented to the contractors It has filed a copy of that strike notice as annexure I to its written statement. The Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central) thereafter convened a joint meeting be- tween the representatives of the Union and the three contractors on 31st January 1969 (copy annexed as annexure II to the Union's statement of claim) but as no settlement could be reached the workmen were called out and they went on a token strike on 4th February 1969 which all the workmen joined. Following the strike negotiations were resumed between the representatives of the contending parties and the arbitration agreement was signed on 7th February 1969.
7. Before reproducing the Union's submissions on demand No. 1 regarding Bonus, I may state that an earlier dispute between Messrs. Kier Sentec and its Workmen who were then represented by the Construction Workers' Union, Bombay was refer- red to my arbitration under the provisions of Para II(IV) of the Code of Discipline
3534 T HE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1%9/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART II -in Industry, In which I made my award dated 11th April, 1968. In that dispute, there was a demand, being demand No. 12, for Bonus for the year 1OG5-RG. That demand was worded as follows: —
"Each employee should be paid bonus every year at the rate Of 20 per cent of their gross wages for that year or part thereof. Bonus for 1965-86 should be paid at the above rate immediately".
8. In that dispute the employers had inter alia opposed the demand under the provisions of Section 16 of the Payment of Bonus Act 1965 which provides that there on establishment Is newly set up, whether before or after the commencement of the Act the employees thereof should be entitled to be paid bonus under the Act only from the accounting year in which the employer derives profit from such establishment or from the sixth accounting year following the accounting year in which the employer sells goods produced or manufactured by him or render services as the case may be from such establishment whichever is earlier. The company had urged in its written statement that the demand for bonus for 1965-66 waa premature as its accounts could only be made up when the works are completed according to the contract and that If a proper profit is established the question oi bonus can be considered at that time. I had In my Award accepted this plea of the employers and held that the demand for bonus for 1965-66 wa3 at that tlme pre- mature. I had also held that the submissions made by Messrs. Kier Sentec in their written statement viz:
"Whether the contract has resulted In profit or loss would be determined by it only when the contract is completed".
was the correct position and submissions made to the contrary or Inconsistent thereto made by the company during the hearing must be held to be subject to the final assessment of the contract on its completion,
9. I may note here that the demand for oonus in that dispute was not under the alternative conditions under clause (b) of demand No. 1 under reference.
10. On issues Nos. (a) and (b) under reference the Union has submitted that the workmen of the three contractors are entitled to bonus for the years 1965-66, 1966-67 and 1967-68 on the basis of the profits made by the three contractors Individually as shown in their financial results in the respective balance sheets and profit and loss accounts for the three years. The Union has reserved its further comments till the company has produced the documents ol the three contractors as may be directed by me.
11. Without prejudice to these submissions the Union has submitted that the workmen engaged in the works tendered for and awarded to these contractors are the workmen in the employment of the Bombay Port Trust and are entitled to terms and conditions of service similar to those enjoyed by the other workmen working in the Bombay Port Trust. In paragraph 20 of its written statement of claim the Union has submitted that these workmen are engaged by the Bombay Port Trust through the three contractors to produce assets which would contribute to the expansion of the cargo handling capacity and earning of the Bombay Port Trust
12. In paragraph 21 of its statement of claim the Union has stated that the Bombay Port Trust has been making ex-gratia payments at the rate of 4 per cent of their wages to its workmen in lieu of bonus as per the resolution of its Board of Trustees ever since the enactment of the Payment of Bonus Act. The Union has, therefore submitted that their workmen engaged by the Port Trust through these three contractors should also on grounds of equity and equality of treatment be given ex-gratia payments at the same rate and on the same basis as is being given to the other workmen of the Bombay Port Trust.
13. Messrs. Kier Sentec in their written statement in reply dated 22nd March, 1969 have urged a preliminary objection. It is submitted that the reference Is limited in scope and restricted except for the purpose of ex-gratia bonus, to the interpretation of my previous Award dated 11th April, 1968, to which I have refer- red earlier It has stated that in the circumstances, any attempt to widen the ambit of this reference so as to Include the question of adjudication afresh should be disallowed as being, inter alia had in law and without jurisdiction. I ma.v straightway say that I see no substance in this objection. As regards bonus my earlier Award cannot be treated as res-judicata as the present Union s demand for bonus is based on grounds set out which had not been advanced by the previous Union Besides, under clause 1 (b) of the reference there is also a demand tor ex- gratia bonus payment which Is a fresh demand. I am not satisfied that demands NOB 2 and 3 are only questions of interpretation of my previous Award. There
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3535was>an industrial dispute raised with regard to issues Noa. 2 and 3 under reference ami the company having agreed to refer the dispute to arbitration cannot now raise the plea of those demands being only an Interpretation of the previous Award. In my opinion, the adjudication of those demands cannot be restricted as questions of mere interpretation but arc demands In an industrial dispute referred to arbitration Under Section 10A of the Industrial Dispute Act 1947. In my opinion demands Nos. 2 and 3 constitute fresh industrial disputes and are notj claims under Interpretation, of my previous Award.
14. With regard to the Union's claim that the employers are the three contrac- ting companies viz: Kler Ltd., Sentab & Engineering Construction Corporation of India Ltd., M/s. Kier Sentec have denied the same and have urged that this submission of the Union is wrong in law and is completely unwarranted and un-supporlable. Messrs. Kier-Sentec law submitted that the three companies have got together for the purpose of one contract under a separate and distinct name, form and entity with separate and un-equal lnvestmept and a separate balance sheet is drawn up for this employer; that this separate and distinct commercial entity will be closed down once the contract is completed and the* accounts are closed and the profits or loss will be apportioned In certain fixed proportions related to the investments by the three collaborating units. It has- submitted that the employer whose contractor Is one viz: Kier Sentec should alone be looked to for the purposes of this or any other arbitration covering Its enterprise and its workmen who have been employed by this company and whose employment ends with the termination of this particular contract. Messrs. Kler Sentec have also denied the suggestion that these workmen have been employed either by the three companies mentioned above or by or through the Bombay Port Trust. It has stated that such an attempt on the part of the Union in the previous arbitration had not succeeded and, therefore, for all intents and purposes Kier Sentcc was treated as a separate company or employer.
15. Messrs. Kler Sentec have submitted that it is a joint venture for the purpose* of only carrying oui the works referred to in paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Union's- written statement. It has denied that the contract wa.8 awarded by the Bombay Port Tru."t to the three contractors and has stated that the contract is between the Bombay Port Trust and Kier Sentec, the said venture consisting of Kier Ltd., London, Sentab, Stockholm and Engineering Construction Corporation of Bombay- It has denied that the joint venture If. being described as Kier Sentec for the purposes of convenience only.
16. With regard to paragraphs 5 and 8 of the Union's written statement of claim the company has stated that they are irrelevant for the purposes of this reference and the only relevant fact is that Kier Sentec is a joint venture consisting of the three companies stated above and is entrusted with the carrying out of the said works under a contract with the Bombay Port Trust.
17. With regard to the statements made in Paras 9 and 10 of the Union's statement of claim Messrs. Kier Sentec have stated that the Union cannot be allowed" to refer to or Introduce in any manner whatsoever the balance sheets and profit and1 loss accounts of the three companies mentioned above as some are completely- irrelevant and would be bad in law and without jurisdiction.
18. With regard to the agreement with the Bombay Port Trust, Messrs. Kier Sentec have stated that the same is irrelevant, I may, however, state that the- agreement was later (upon my directions) produced on the record of these procee- dings. With reference to the events leading upon the reference to arbitration Kier Sentec have stated that the strike was unjustified and un-warranted.
19. On the demand for bonus Messrs. Kler Sentec have submitted that the balance sheet and profit and loss accounts for the years for which bouns is claimed can only be the balance sheets and profit and loss accounts of Messrs. Kier Sentec and not of the three companies as alleged. It has repeated that it was completely incorrect and misleading and wrong in law to talk as if there are three contractors and that the demand, therefore, as set out in the written statement of the Union is entirely bad in law and should be rejected in Umine. It has relied upon my Award in the previous dispute and has further submitted that the question of bonus in any event, if merits were to be gone into, would be governed by the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 and as the working of each of the years In question has resulted in a loss there should be no question of any allocable surplus of bonus in the circumstances. It has also argued that it has been held by the Allahabad High Court that if there is an actual loss in any year then there should be no question of even a minimum bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act.
3536 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART I I-20. In paragraph 13 of its written statement in reply Messrs. Kier Sentec have stated that in the case of a construction company or employers like themselves the . employer is not bound to pay any bonus until the construction contract has been completely carried out and accounts have been finalised to determine whether the contract has resulted in a profit or loss. Until then it has submitted that there JK no question of the employer having to pay any bonus to the workmen- In para 14 of Its written statement Messrs, Kier Sentec have statement that these are not workmen employed by the Bombay Port Trust and there can be no question of their being entitled to the terms and conditions of service similar to those enjoyed by the workmen of the Bombay Port Trust. In the circumstances it has submitted that the fact the Bombay Port Trust has been paying ex-gratla banus is completely irrelevant and cannot entitle the workmen ol this company to ex-gratia bonus nor can it entitle the Arbitrator to direct payment of bonus in these circumstances under an Award made in this reference.
Demand No. l(a), Bonus at 20 per cent of annual earnings for each of the years 1965-66, 1966-67 and 1967-G8
21. I have indicated above, the contention of both parties as-stated in their written statements. One of the arguments urged by the Union in support of demand for payment of bonus at the rate oi 20 per cent of the workmen's annual earn- ings as per the provisions of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 for each of the years 1965-66, 19tfG-67 and 1967-68, is that ihc workmen are entitled to bonus on tho profits earned by the thiee Contractor Companies, viz. M/s. Kier Limited, Sentab and M/s, Engineering Construction Corporation Limited. A little back- ground history is necessary in order to understand this controversy. It appears that M/s. Kier Limited, London, M/s, Svenska Entrcprenad (SENTAB) of Stock- holm and the Engineering Construction Corporation Limited, entered into a pre-bid joint venture agreement dated 21st July 1964 (Ex. E/l Confidential) for the pur- poses of the Bid and the Tender dated 28th Julv 1964 was submitted to the Bombay Port Trust for the development and expansion of the .Bombay Port by Kjer Limited, Sentab and Engineering Construction Corporation Limited, The Tender was for Rs, 10.85 crores and was accepted by the Bombay Port Trust on 22nd March, 1965. A joint venture agreement was thereupon entered into by the said three co-npanies on 26th May, 1965 (Ex. E.2 Confidential) and the contract was awarded to the three companies by Trustees Resolution of December 1964, which was conveyed by the Port Trust's Engineers' letter dated 22nd March 1965. A deed of Agreement was signed on 16th February 1967, in which the parties to the agreement were stated to be the Bombay Port Trust (Trustees of the Port of Bombay) of the one part, and Kier Limited, a private limited Company incor- porated in London, Sentab a company organised amd registered under Swedish Law, having its registered office at Stockholm and the Engineering Construction Corporation, Limited of India, who were collectively called "the Contractors". This agreement provided that the expression "Contractors" shall be deemed to include the respective companies, their successors and permitted assigns. The Tender was accepted by the Bombay Port Trust by the letter of its Consulting Engineers dated 22nd March 1965, M/s. Kier Limited accepted the contract by its letter dated 25th March 1965 on behalf of the consortium though the same was written by Kier Limited. (Ex. E3 Confidential), Shrl Mahesh Desai'a con- tention is that the position as it obtains even today is that M/s. Kier Sentec has no place in the entire scheme of things and that the contract was entered into by the Contracting Companies, viz. Kier Limited, Sentab and the Engineering Construction Corporation Limited, with the Bombay Port Trust. He has for this purpose relied on the final clause of the Tender letter, which forms part of the printed Tender,
"We are to be held jointly and severally responsible for the due performance
of the Contract,"
Shri Mahesh Desai has referred to the record of the minutes of the proceedings of the Trustees' Meetings where the terms of Contract were discussed m detail. This discussion was before the Contract was given and according to him that discussion was relevant Shri Vimadalal, on the other hand, has stated that only the formal agreement was entered into on 16th February 1967, but that the Contract had been completed much earlier as a result of the submission and acceptance of the Tender, and the Contract speaks for itself.
2? Shri Vimedalal has stated that the iolnt venture agreement (Confidential Ex E2) was a Partnership for a special venture, and nothing else. That the partnership was between Kier Limited, SENTAB and the Engineering Construction Corporation Limited with specific share of each partner and this
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3537"partnership firm (Kier Sentec) had been registered for the purposes of Income Tax (Confidential Exhibit E.4 collectively). The Joint Venture, therefore is conducting a Partnership business under the name of Kier Sentec. Shri Vima- dalal has stated that the contract was completed by the acceptance by the Bombay Port Trust of tho Joint Venture Tender dated 28th July 1964. He has stated that the Contractors, who are not the three Companies, but their consor- tium, I.e. the three companies acting together. He has pointed out that the name 'Kier Sentec" appears for the first time in Clause of the Joint Ventui- Agreement (Confidential Ex. E.2). He has stated that the Joint Venture for all practicable purposes, was a Partnership under Section 8 of the Indian Partner- ship Act. It was a Joint Venture in the spirit of Section 8 for the purpose ot carrying out the contract and nothing else.
23. Shri Mahesh Desai. who has argued his submissions with conspicuous ability, has stated that the Deed of Contract is the agreement of 16th February 1967 between the three comapnies and the Bombay Port Trust. Whilst, Shri Vimadalal has argued that the offer and acceptance constitute the contract which are earlier than the Deed of Contract of 16th February 1967. He has stated t h at the Contract was completed, by the acceptance on 22nd March 1965 of the Tender of 28th July 1964 and the subsequent Deed of 16th February 1967 relied upon by Shri Mahesh Desai, did not change the contract which had already been entered into.
24, Whatever may be the position with regard to with whom the contract was entered into, I find it difficult to accept Shri Mahesh Desai's contention that Demand No. l(a) should be decided on the basis of the profits earned by each of the three contracting companies, viz, Kier Limited, Sentab and Engineering Construction Corporation Limited for each of those years. No doubt, the agree- ment of 16th February 1967 is between the Bombay Port Trust and the three Contracting Companies and the liability to the Bombay Port Trust under the Contracts is eventually of those three companies. However, it cannot be ruled out that the Companies entered into a Joint Venture for the carrying out of the Contract with the Bombay Port Trust and that the Joint Venture is Kier Sentec, In these proceedings, the certified Balance Sheets and Profit and Loss Accounts of Kier Sentec have been filed for each of those three years as Confidential Exhibit E.5, It has also been urged in this case, as was urged in the last case before me thpt Kir Sentet\ is a registered partnership firm for Income Tax purposes The certified audited accounts of M/s. Kier Sentec for each of the three years 1985-M, 1966-67 and 1967-68 show, according to the Company, a I03S in the working of the Contract. In the previous dispute also there was a demand for bonus for the year 1965-66, which is one of the three years for which bonus is claimed in this dispute. In my Award dated 11th April 1968 in the earlier dispute, I had held, on a statement made on behalf of the M/s. Kier Sentec that whether the joint venture made a profit or loss in that year i.e. 1965-66, would only be as- certainable after the Contract was fulfilled. In my earlier Award for Bonus for the year 1965-66, the first of the three years in the instant reference. I had observed and stated as follows:—
"The Company has stated that this demand is premature as its accounts can only be* made up when the works are completed according to the Contract, and that if a profit is thereby disclosed at that time, the question of bonus can ibe considered on that date. This submission of the Employers must be accepted and it must be held that the demand for bonus is at present premature. Incidentally, it may be noticed that the submission in this paragraph of its written statement that "whether the contract has resulted in a profit or loss would be determined by it only when the contract is completed", I think it Is the correct position and all submissions to the contrary Or inconsistent thereto made by the Company during the hearing must be held to be subject to the final assessment, of the Contract on its completion."
30. In think the same position holds good even under thie dispute on the demand for bomr; for 1965-66 and the two subsequent years 1966-67 and 1967-68. It is, no doubt, true as argued by Shri Mahesh Desai that manv construction companies which take up construction works do have their Profit and Loss Accounts In each year on which basis the profits and losses are determined. But their case ii different in as much as their profits and losses are not determined on the basis of one single contract such as has been taken by the joint venture or consortium, which is known as TCier Centec'. In my opinion, it is not very relevant to decide whether Kier Sentec is merely a rostal or telegraphic address or whether it is the name under which the three contractors have been taken this contract. It is, in my opinion not necessary to decide the questions of law raised
4"8 THE GAZETTE OF INDfA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART II—at the hearing in order to decide Issue No. l(a) because, as I have stated^ the Company's position as stated in the last dispute and as repeated in its written statement in this dispute, is that the true positions whethor this contract for expansion and development work of the Ballard Pier Extension Scheme has resulted in a profit or loss will be known only when the contract is competed. This, in my opinion, gives an added strength to the Demand under l(b). In the result, demand No. l(a) fails as the workmen are at present not entitled to Bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 for the three years under reference.
26. I am also not satisfied with the contention of Shri Mahesh Desai that it is the Bombay Port Trust who is the Employer of these workmen through the •Contractors, who, according to him, arc the three companies which entered Into this venture jointly. In my opinion these workmen are the employees of Kier Sentec, which is the joint venture of the three Companies, which have taken this -contract, and not the employees of the Bombay Port Trust.
Demand No. l ( b ):
27. The demand is in effect payment of ex-gratia bonus for each of tha three years 1965-66, 1966-67 and 1967-68 if it is he'd that the employees are not entitled to bonus under the provisions of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965. Under the -terms of the reference the ex-gratia payment in lieu of bonus has been claimed on the grounds of equity and fairplay and having regard to the fact that the -employees of the Bombay Port Trust and other employers who are exempted from the provisions of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965, are being paid si^h ex-/y^tia amounts in lieu of bonus, since 1965-66. It is admitted that the Bombay Port Trust, the Food Department of the Government of India handling the discharge of foodgrains in the Bombay Docks and other employers are also paying cx-gratia bonus at the rate of 4 per cent, (see Ex. W.I and W.2 collectively), I have indi- cated earlier the grounds urged by Messrs. Kier S?ntec in their written statement in opposing this demand. At the hearing Shri Vimadalal the learned Advocate for the company raised several legal objections against the maintainability of the said demand.
28. Firstly he has stated that the Payment of Bonus Act Is an all exhaustive enactment and that no demand for bonus can He outside the scope of that Act. For this proposition he has relied upon the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of the Metal Box Company of India Ltd., and Their Workmen. He has also relied upon the decision of Shri Aney, learned Industrial Tribunal, Bombay, In the case •of Harbanslal & Co. Vs. Mumbai Kamgar Sabha (Maharashtra Government Gazette Part I.D dated 31st October 1968 page 4274). His submission is that the demand for ex-gratia bonus does not lie in law. He has argued that whatever is ex-gratia cannot be enforced by law unless it is a contract to pay.
29. I am of the opinion that there is no substance in this contention urged by 'Shri Vimadalal. The decisions cited by him do not cover cases where the parties agreed to refer to arbitration the question whether on grounds of equity and fair play an ex-gratia payment by way of bonus to a class of workmen is justified on the ground that a similar class of workmen are made an ex-gratia payment by their • employers at the rates demanded. In this case what is important to notice is that though the Bombay Port Trust is also exempted from the provisions of the Pay- men L of Bonus Act it is voluntarily paying ex-gratia bonus to its employees at the rate of 4 per cent, Other organizations in the Bombay Port are also making ex-gratia payments by way of bonus to their employees annually, even though they are not covered by the provisions of the payment of Bonus Act. I am of the opinion that the authorities cited do not cover the case where such a question is to be decided on a joint application of the parties in an arbitration reference. It should also be borne in mind what I have held in my earlier award that the pro - fits for each of the three years would be determined only when the contract is completed and fulfilled. In fact this submission had been urged by M[s. Kier •Sentec a'so in this reference. It is in these circumstances that the workmen are claiming payment of ex-gratla bonus on the lines of what the workeis of the Bombay Port Trust are getting and I am of the opinion that in these facts and circumstances—the reference as framed is clearly—maintainable.
29.A. Shri Vimadalal next sought to draw an analogy for this contention rely- ing on Section 10(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act. He has argued that even if an employer under1 an agreement with the Union agrees to refer a particular •dispute to adjudication by an Industrial Tribunal under Section 10(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, that party is nevertheless free and at liberty to raise an
Stc. 3(ii)l THfc. GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3539yebjL'i.Lio" as to the lUrisdiction of the Tribunal to deal with the question, even though it may have agreed to refer that question for adjudication to the Tribunal. For tuat proposition he has relied upon the decision, of the Supreme Court in the c.de of Bharat Barrel and Drum Manufacturing Co. Ltd., (1961 I. LLJ 130) and East Asiatic Co. (1960 I.LLJ. 183). These are authorities for the proposition that an application under Section 10(2) of the Industrial Dispute^ Act would not ertop any party to such joint application from laisini the point that what is rofe.ied to is not an industrial dispute and therefore the Industrial Tribunal has no nirhditlion to adjudicate upon the same. But Shri Vimadalal was, however, notable to cite any case directly on the point K>y which the analogy of section iU(li) has been applied to an arbitration agreement under Section 10'A of the Industrial Disputes Act. He has, however, relied upon the decision in the case of New Maneek Chowk Spinning iy Weaving Co. Ltd., and others and T.L.A. Ahmeda- bad (1961 I. LLJ. page 521) whore it was held that where bonus is given out of free consent in order that there may ba good relations between the employer and his employees there cou'd not be an Award in terms of such a free consent. Shri Vimadalal has also referred to the statement in para 22 of the Union's statement of claim where it has stated that—because the Bombay Port Trust has been mak- ing ex-gratia payments therefore these employees who are employees of the Bombay Port Trust though its contractors Kler Sentec are entitled to bonus.
30. I may imake it e'ear that I am not granting bonus at 4 per cent simply because the Bombay Port Trust grants it to its employees or because the Union has established that these workmen are the employees of the Bombay Port Trust through its contractors. I have rejected this latter contention of the Union for reasons slated earlier in this Award. Under the terms of the reference, the demand under 1 (b) has to be decided on grounds of equity and fair-play having regard to the fact that the Bombay Port Trust and other employers are making an CM'- . atia payment in lieu of bonus to their employees, I think equity and fair- pl"3y n this case are in favour of the workmen particularly in the circumstances that the final results of the working of the contract would be known only after it is completed and the workmen who have been employed since 1965-66 may or may not be there or availaVe when the contract is completed, and the results of the working out of the contract is determined. I am. therefore, of the opinion that for this reason and the other facts and circumstances of the case, and having regard to the fact that the Bombay Port Trust and others who are exempted from the provisions of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 are paying ex-gratia payment in lieu of Bonus, the workmen covered by,this reference also should be paid ex>gratw oayment for each of the years 1965-66. 1966-67 and 1967-68 at the rate of 4 per rent of their salary or wages during the three respective accounting years under reference, viz 1965-68, 1966-67 and 1967-68. In my opinion, they should be paid this ex- gratia payment on the same terms and conditions on which the Bombay Port Trust is making payments of such ex-gratia payments in lieu of bonus to its employees under Ex. W.2 and I award accordingly, Of course, .his ex-gratia payment of 4 per cent shall be made for each year only to those employees of M|s. Kier Scntcc, who were in its service during those years and on the salary or wages drawn during the respective year irrespective of whether they are in service now. I also direct that the payment as awarded should be made to the workmen within 15 days of this Award becoming enforceable.
Demand No. 2.
31. House Rent Allowance—-This demand is for the grant of benefit of house- rent allowance at the rate of Rs. 15 per month to the workmen employed by Messrs Kier Senter and who fire staying at Elenhanta where this Company has a stone quarry. It is admitted that these workmen were not covered by my earlier Awaitl by which I have granted a house rent allowance of Rs. 15 per month of the other employees of Messrs. Kier Sentcc. The number of workmen employed at Elephanta is about 59.
3'", The Employers are opposing this demand on the ground that they have provid d housing accommodation for these workmen at Elephanta and also pro- vide free launches to and fro from the mainland. Shri "Vimadalal has argued that It is not necessary for the company to make these workmen stay at Elephanta and they are free to stay on the mainland and reach their place or work at Elephanta by launches which are provided. It is admitted that in the last reference the case of these 59 employees working at Elephanta was not considered and that is why this demand has been made for them in this fresh dispute, I have had the benefit of inspection of these quarters with the representatives of both parties. For thc-p quarters the workmen are not charged any rent. In my opinion the
3540 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART I f—majority of the quarters provided to these workmen were hardly fit for human habitation and if the workmen stay in these quarters, it is because they have no alternative accommodation at Elephanta, In fact some of the quarters which I visited were not safe for occupation, because of the holders that fall down from, the hill Just above the place where some of those quarters are situated. I was also told during inspection that the locality is infested with snakes, which somfr time enter the workmen's quarters. It is also admitted that more than one workman is housed in a single room. It was also pointed out that immediate y after my previous Award the company paid house rent allowance to each of the- workmen employed and stayine at Elephanta irrespective of whether he had a room to himself or shared it with others. But later, these amounts were recovered back because the company decided that they were not covered by the previous Award.
33. Shri Vimadalal has argued that if I was statisfled that the accommodation provided was not satisfactory I should not grant the full house rent allowance of" Rs. 15 per month which I have awarded to the workmen living in Bombay, but a smaller amount should be awarded considering that they are being provided with some accommodation. But this argument does not appeal to me because a large number of the rooma provided were in a bad state and lacked elementary amen- ties and if the workmen are occuping these premises they are doing so out -' sheet helpnessness, because there are no other quarters available to them. I am satisfied that this demand is Justified and therefore Award a house rent allowance* of Bs. 15 per month to each of the workmen staying at Elephanta whether daily rated or monthly rated with effect from 1st June 1967. The payments to the work- men should be made within 15 days of the date the Award herein becomes en- forceable
Demand No. 3:
Claim for the benefits granted under the previous Arbitration Award dated 11th
April 1968, to the monthly rated employees.
34. The Union in its written statement of claim on this demand has submitted that as contended by it in the earlier arbitration, the division between dai y rated and the monthly rated workmen is arbitrary and follows no particular principle' of work and remuneration. The Union has in its written statement herein speci- fically stated as follows: —
"The cadre comprises 60 categories out of which 39 are on daily rates of wages and the remaining 21 are on monthly rates of wages. /The Charter of Demand dated 25th January, 1966, which was a subject- matter of a previous reference, was made for and on behalf of all the workmen in these 60 categories. The Arbitration Award of 11th April, 1968 covered all the workmen under these 60 categories. The Union, therefore, respectfully submits that the Contractors have failed to im- plement the previous Award of the Hon'ble Arbitrator."
35. In Para 32 of it" written statement, the Union has stated that in not extend- ing the benefit of the previous Award to their cadre on monthly rates of wages, the Employers have wilfully and deliberately violated their statutory obligation in the matter of implementation of a lawful award lawfully made. The Union has, therefore, submitted that I shou'd direct the three Contractors to extend the benefits of this earlier Award to all the workmen on monthly rates of wages in the same manner as it has been extended to their workmen on daily rates of wages.
36. In Para 33 the Union has stated that the previous arbitration reference was comprehensive and covered the Fifteen Points Charter of Demand, including Wages, Dearness Allowance, House-Rent Allowance, Leave, Hobdays and Bonu*. In other words, the entire range of condition of work and wages was sought to be revised in arbitration. This very range made it abundantly clear that the demand, and, therefore, the Award, covered workmen on daily rates as well as on monthly rates. The Union has, therefore, submitted that the three Contractors are not justified in not extending the benefit of the previous Award to their workmen on monthly rates.
37. In Para 34 the Union has, without prejudice, prayed that in the event of my holding otherwise, a7l the claims of the workmen on monthly rates, in all matters in which the benefits of revision were awarded in the earlier arbitration, should be decided in thig arbitration on merits. It has, however, invited my
SEC, 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3541attention to the fact that these claims were made on their behalf in January, 1066 arbitrated upon in 1967, and benefit should have accrued to them from 1st June, 1967 as in the case of the workmen on daily rates of wages.
38. M/s. Kier Sentec, in their written statement in reply on this demand, have .stated that they have faithfully carried out all the provisions of the previous award and that there is nothing in the said Award to justify the claim now sought to be made in this reference. It has submitted that reference and observations in the previous award make it clear that the monthly rated, were not included in ihat reference, except for four categories mentioned therein, viz., Drivers, Peons, Sweepers and Security Guards.
39. With regard to Para 31 of the Union's Statement of Claim, M/s. Kier Sentec have denied that the divsion between the daily rated and monthly rated was arbitrary and followed no particular principle of designation, work and/or re- muneration. They have relied upon the proceedings and Award made in the previous reference for the true and proper construction and effect. They have stated that the previous Award did not direct either expressly or impliedly that the City Compensatory Allowance or House Rent Allowance be paid to any mem- ber of the monthly paid staff. They have, therefore, stated that the Employers "were fully justified in withholding the said City Compensatory Allowance or the House Rent Allowance from the monthly paid staff.
40. With reference to Para 32 of the State of Claim of the Union, the Employers have denied that they have violated any obligation, much less a statutory obliga- tion, in the matter of implementation of that Award. They have submitted that no direction was given in the said Award for payment of any City Compensatory Allowance and /or House Rent Allowance to the monthly paid staff and the Employers were Justified in not paying either to the monthly paid staff. Without prejudice, the Employers have submitted that, in any event, the salaries paid by them to their monthly paid staff are far in excess of those paid by the Bombay Port Trust to its comparable monthly paid staff. It haa, therefore, submitted th^. Demand No, 3 be rejected.
41. In Para 26 of the reply statement, the Employers have denied that the pre- vious Award covered the workmen on daily rates as also on monthly rates for the reasons alleged or otherwise howsoever and that, therefore, the Employers were justified in not extending the benefit of that Award to its monthly rated staff excepting those to whom such benefit were expressly directed by the Award.
42. Now, the first thing to be stated on consideration of Demand No. 3 is that M/s. Kier Sentec admitted at the hearing that the monthly rated employees were covered by the terms of reference in th earlier dispute, in which I gave my Award on 11th April, 1968 but their point is that my previous Award did not direct that the benefit of that Award should also be granted to their monthly rated employees except some three or four categories viz., drivers, peons and security guards.
43. It is next to be remembered that the Union's position is that under Demand No, 3, it is not only claiming the benefits* by way of City Compensatory Allowance and House Rent Allowance, but that it is claiming also the other benefits in the earlier Award including (a) the Increase of 0.50 paise granted in the pay to the monthly rated staff under the earlier Conciliation Settlement and (b) the 0.50 paise further increase granted to the monthly paid under the earlier Award with effect from 1st June 1967. In other words, Shri'Mahesh Desai has aTgued that the Union is not only claiming the benefits of House Rent Allowance and City Compensatory Allowance awarded by the last Award, but is also claiming the benefit of the increases in wages granted under the previous Award. Shri Mahesh Desai haa argued that under the terms of reference in this dispute, the Demand under No. 3 is for benefits arising out of my previous Award, and, therefore, the demand of the Union under reference was for grant of all benefits which were granted to the daily rated workmen, under the previous Award.
44. There has been a controversy between the parties as to the interpretation of the terms of this demand particularly on the words 'if not' appearing in the second part of the terms of reference.
43. In my opinion, the terms of Demand No. 3. require me first to determine whether there were any benefit granted under the first Arbitration Award to the monthly rated. If there were, then whether the Employers were justified in not extending those benefits to the monthly rated employees. On my holding that the Management was not justified in withholding the benefits of the previous Award to the monthly rated employees, then the second question to be considered would
3542 "*HE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART 11—be to what relief they are entitled to. On the second question, I accept the con- tention of Shrl Vimadalal, that in any case, the benefits granted to the monthly rated employees under Demand No. 3 should not be higher than what was granted to the daily rated workmen by the previous Award, except where the monthly rated employees were specifically granted certain different or better benefits than were granted under the Award to the daily rated workmen.
46. I am more than satisfied that the previous Award not only covered monthly rated workmen but also granted benefits to them. Several of the demands, such as for leave benefits, holidays, weekly offs, provident fund, bonus, house rent allowance and city compensatory allowance were common demands for all em- ployees covered by the reference, and the directions under the Award are inse- parable as between the daily rated and the monthly rated. Even with regard to wage increases the demand was for increase in "basic pay", Dearness allowance was also claimed for all employees. That the monthly rated got benefits under the Award is quite clear from the directions contained in the Award to which I shall refer presently. The Union has, under this Demand No, 3 claimed for the monthly rated employees (a) the benefits granted to them under the previous Award in the matters of wage increases including annual increments under Demand Nos. 13, 14 & 15 of the earlier reference (b) house rent allowance under Demand No. 10 and (c) for city compensatory allowance under Demand No. 11. The directions with regard to wage increases are covered by the Award on Demands Nos. 13, 14 & 15 in the earlier reference, which referred to demand for (half yearly increments, dearness allowance and basic pay respectively.
47. The management's contention is that it was not liable to pay the monthly rated workmen house rent allowance at the rate of Rs. 15 and city compensatory allowance at the rate of Rs. 7.60 Ps. granted by the Award. The company seeks to justify this contention on the ground that the previous Award in granting house rent allowance of Rs. 15 per month and city compensatory allowance at Rs. 7.50 Ps, per month had not stated that this benefit was to be granted also to the monthly rated employees. But the demand itself was for free housing accom- modation being provided to all employees (This and subsequent italicised words are mine)! The demand further stated that if free housing accommodation was not made available, then "an house rent allowance equivalent to 20 per cent of his salary be paid to him every month". Now, the words "salary" & "all employees" would clearly indicate that that demand was raised not only for the daily work- men, but also for the monthly rated employees, it being admitted by M/s. Kier Sen tec that the monthly rated were covered by the earlier reference. The general discussion in the Award on these two demands, clearly indicates that the benefit of It was to be given both to the daily rated and the monthly rated. I find that in the Award on Demand No. 11, City Compensatory Allowance, 1 had oibserved as follows:
"I award Rs. 7.C0 p.m. as City Compensatory Allowance, I may state that I am granting the benefits of House Rent Allowance and City Compen- satory Allowance as 1 am not granting any aeparate Dearness Allowance and as it was stated on behalf of the Company that if increased pay- ments are to be granted they may be granted as House Rent Allowance and City Compensatory Allowance rather than a provision for dearneas allowance which is ndt" being granted in this Company and in making these two provisions I Tiave taken that plea into consideration."
Now, it is admitted that separate dearness allowance is not paid by M/s. Kier Sentec—either to the daily rated or to the monthly rated. It Is clear from the discussion in the Award, that because I had not granted a separate payment of dearness allowance to the emplayeea of the Company covered by the Award (which I repeat admittedly included both the daily and the monthly rated), the Award, granted the benefit of House Rent and the City Compensatory Allowance not only to the daily rated tout also to the monthly rated workmen. The Awards on both those demands being clearly for all the workmen concerned in the dis- pute, which had been referred to my arbitration and which as admitted by the Employers included the monthly rated employees. I do not accept the conten- tion of M/s. Kier Sentec that because the monthly rated were not specifically mentioned, in the Awards on the demands for House Rent Allowance and City Compensatory Allowance, it did not cover the monthly rated employees. I may " S7! * ? *hd Id ™f e nd I?,and have by my said previous Award granted the benefit of both House Rent Allowance the City Compensatory Allowance at Rs 15 and Rs. 7.8 paise per month respectively to all the monthly rated employees of the Company who were covered by the reference. The monthly rated workmen covered Iby the previous reference were of the categories bearing Serial Nos 40
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3543$f"60, which have been specifically referred to In Demand No. 15 of the earlier reference which related to Basic Pay.
48. Next, coming to the benefits of increments and wage increases, the direc- tions for the same are contained in the last but four paragraphs of my previous Award. By the last but fourth paragraph, I awarded that the minimum basic pay for the daily-rated should be raised from Rs. 4 to Rs. 4.50 per day and I granted that benefit with effect from 1st June 1967.
49. In the last but third paragraph of the last Award, 1 observed and directed as follows:—
"With regard to the other categories or workmen, I also feel that they should be granted like increases, 1 have considered the various tables and charts filed iby the Company. There has been no regular system of Increment though mcraments have been granted to certain workmen as shown in Exhibit E.13. I think the wages claimed by the Union in Demand No. 15 are excessive. In the facts and' circumstances of the case, the only thing to do would be to grant increase of Rs. 0.50 paise for all workmen covered by this reference with effect from 1st June 1967."
50. The use of the words "all workmen of the Company, covered by this reference55, means clearly that this direction was not only for the daily rated but for "all workmen of the Company covered by the reference", which would clearly include the monthly rated workmen, who it was admitted at the hearing were covered by the previous reference. This was a general direction on Demand No. 15 in the old reference, which clearly mentioned 20 categories of monthly rated employees (Items 40 to 60) for whom the higher scales of pay were asked for. The next para ol the Award i.e. the para last but two, gives the directions under Demand No. 13, 14 and 15. On Demand No. 13 -which was for increments, the Award in the last but second paragraph stated as follows:—
"With regard to the Union's claim for half yearly Increment under Demand No. 13, I think that the Demand at the rates made is not justified. I think, however, that this Company even for the period for which it will subsist in th future, must grant some increment to its workmen the majority of whom have been in service for more than one year. I would prescribe that the Company should grant an annual Increment of Rs. 0.15 paise per day to its Mazdoors and of Rs. 0.25 paise per day to other categories of its employees covered under this reference. "In the result, Demand No. 14 under reference is rejected and on Demand No. 13 in respect of annual increment, I award that the Employers shall grant an annual increase to Mazdoors of Rs. 0.15 paise per day and to all other workmen of Rs. 0.25 paise per day with effect from 1st January, 1969."
"On Demand No. 15, I direct that the Company shall grant an increase of 0.50 paise in the existing wages of their workmen covered by this reference with effect from 1st June 1967". In my opinion, the italloised words in the above paragraphs of the last Award make it clear that the benefits of the increase of 0.50 paise in the exist- ing wages of all workmen of the Company, should ensure for the benefit of the monthly rated workmen. This is made clear from the following directions con- tained in the pen-ultimate paragraph of the Award.
"I direct that all payments in this Award will be made in the month of May, 1968, along with their wages and salaries for the month of April, 1968."
The word "salaries" clearly indicates that the benefits of the Award in respect of wages under Demand No. 13, and 15 of the said reference was also to be granted to the monthly rated workmen of the Company.
51 I therefore, hold that M/s. Kier Sentec were not justified in not extending the benefits arising out of my earlier Award dated 11th April 1968 to their monthly paid workmen.
32 With regard to what relief they are entitled to, I am quite satisfied that the benefits of House Rent Allowance, City Compensatory Allowance and the increment Of Rs 0 28 paise and the increase in the basic pay of Rs. 0.50 paise were granted to the monthly rated employees. I am further satisfied that the benefit of the Aytftra In respect of the above stated matter was to be granted only to those monthly rated employees who are mentioned in Items No. 40 to 60 under Demand No. 16.

The Government of India in the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Rehabili- tation, Department of Labour and Employment by their order No. 28/109/67 LRIII dated 3rd October 1967 had referred to the Industrial Tribunal. Jabalpur, an indus- trial dispute existing between the employers in relation to Messrs. Naw Harbour
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3545Launch Service Private Limited and their workmen represented by the General Secretary, Moior Launch Employees' Association, 120, Modi Street, 3rd floor, Fort, Bombay. The dispute related to the question about the liability of the management to pay bonus to the employees for the accounting year ending 31st March 1967. Government by an order of even date nad issued an injunction prohibiting ths employees from continuing the strike and have subsequently by Order No, 28/109/ 67-LRIII dated November 1967 transferred the reierence to this Tribunal under section 33B of the Industrial Disputes Act. The matter In reference is as follows: —
"Whether the management of New Harbour Launch Service Private Limited, Bombay-1, is liable to pay bonus to its employees for the accounting year ending 31st March 1967? Lf so what should be the quantum of bonus?
2 The management have by their written statement and supplementary state- ment opposed the reference on various grounds. It has contended that the company Is engaged in the work of bringing the goods by barges from the ships on the shores. The Payment of Bonus Act is made applicable to Factories and establish- ments employing more than 20 persons and as the company is exempted under section 32 of the Payment of Bonus Act trom the provisions of that Act the com- pany is not liable to pay the bonus. It has been further contended that the em- ployees are seamen aa defined in clause 42 of section 3 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1958 (44 of 1958), and they are therefore excluded from the purview of the Payment of Bonus Act and the reference is not maintainable.
3- The management has further contended that there Is no available surplus for distribution by way of bonus for the said year- Alternatively it has been contended that the company has paid to its workmen bonus equivalent to 4 per cent of their annual earnings during the financial year 1966-67. It was not bound to do so and the reference should be dismissed.
4. The workmen represented by the General Secretary of the Motor Launch Employees Association have not filed any written statement nor have they appeared before me. After the reference was received various notices were issued to the parties as follows: —
Notice dated: (1) 4-12-1967 (2) 15-1-196R (3) 16-10-1968 (4) 25-10-196K (5) 14-11-1968 (6) 20-12-1968 (7) 18-2-1969 (8) 25-2-1969 (9) 13-2-1969
and Jastlv on
3-7-1969.
Though the notices were served on the union they have neither cared to appear nor file any statement of claim.
5. With a view that the workmen should also know about the dispute in my notice dated 25th February 1969 the management was directed to affix a copy of the notice on the notice board for the Information of the workmen. Accordingly the management exhibited the notice on the notice board and have also made an affidavit to that effect. It appears that the workers are not interested in the dispute and hence they have not appeared and it is decided ex-parte.
6- In the written statement the management has contended that the company is exempted from thp orovisions of the Payment of Bonus Act. However I do not find any substance in this contention.
7. It is clear from their statement that the emnloyers have paid bonus at 4 per cent to the employees for the year in question. They have also stated that there la no available surplus for the payment of additional bonus. Under section 10 of
a"46 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART l i-the Payment of Bonus Act the employer is bound to pay to the employee the mini- mum bonus which shall be 4 per cent of the salary or wages earned by the work- men and it appears that the company has paid the minimum bonus to the em- ployees. Thus the employers have complied with the provisions of the Act and hence the workers are not interesied and have not appeared and put forth any contention.
8. In view of t'he circumstances the workers have not made any claim and hence they are not entitled to any more bonus for the accounting year In question.
Hence my award accordingly.
No order as to costs.

IN THE MATTER OF REFERENCE NO. 1 OF 1960 PENDING BEFORE THE NATIONAL INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNAL (BANK DISPUTES), 3OMBA.Y.
AWARD
Shi'i Ram Saran Bhatia filed this complaint under section 33A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (hereinafter to be referred as the Act), against tne respon- dent, Punjab Co-operative Bank Limited, Chandni Chowk, Delhi before the National industrial Tribunal (Bank Disputes), Bombay and that Tribunal trans- ferred the complaint to this Court for disposal vide order dated 6th March, 1962. It was alleged in the complaint that the respondent had been guilty of a contra- vention of the provisions of section 33 of the Act inasmuch as during the pen- dency of adjudication (Ref. No. 1 of 1960), he was dismissed from service on the 22nd of June, 1961 vide letter dated the 19th of June, 1961 without obtaining the approval/permission of the Tribunal as required under the provisions of that section. The respondent In its written statement pleaded that the complainant was working as accountant upto the 9th of October, 1958 and as officiating manager of Its Delhi branch thereafter upto the time when he was placed under suspension on the 4th of April, 1961 which ultimately resulted In his dismissal.
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3547IWwas, therefore, stated that he was not a workman withm the meaning of section 2(s) of the Act and so, this complaint was not maintainable. It was further avored that he was not a workman concerned in the adjudication pend- ing before the National Tribunal and !hat for that reason a, so, the provisions of section ii3 of the Act were not attracted. On merits, it was pleaded that he was dismissed for misconduct and for abusing the powers given to him as officiating manauei1.
2 It seems that the plea that the complainant was not a workman concerned in the dispute pending before the National Tribunal, Bombay was not pressed before tny learned predecessor, Shrl Anand Narain Kaul and so, he framed the following two issues which arose out of the pleadings of the parties:-—
(1) Whether the complainant is a workman within the meaning of section
2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act?
(2) If the answer to Issue No. 1 be in the affirmative, whether the services of the complainant were wrongfully terminated by the management of the Punjab Co-operative Bank Limited? If so, to what relief is he entitled?
Issue No. 1.
3. Shri Anand Narain Kaul vide his order dated the 23rd of July, 1968 found that the complainant was a workman and recorded his finding on this Issue in his favoui.

Issue No. 2-
3548 "*z GA/biTB Or INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, l"9l [FAKT 11—fl. I may point out at the very outset, that no enquiry was held in tnis case, alter the complainant had furnished his explanation to the charge-sheet dffied 1st of February, 1981. The reason given by tne learned counsel ior me respondent was in-u tne explanation lurnisnea uy tne complainant to the cnarge-sheet was an admission of guilt ana so, under mete cucumstances the noidmg oi c.iquiry, it was pointed out, would have been an empty lormaiity. It was aiso biaieti that even it n was neld tnat an enquiry into the cnarge was necessaiy, there was ampie material on record ior the establishment of the cnarge of misconauct against the complainant. The charge-sheet as contained in Ext. M/19 was that In the course of Inspection it had been noticed that the complainant n~d committed serious irregularities and that lor that leason, he was charged as IO.-JWS :—
•'That the gold ornaments pledged by Shrimati Haj Kurnari Seth as security against the following advances weighed 95 tola 6 masha 1 ratti at the time of granting the advances but on 14th January, 10b I -the date of inspection—It was found that the security now held against all these advances weigh only 30 tola 1 masha 2 ratti.''
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3549ta,£anction over-drafts and his reply was that he had not understood the question, taut added that he issued over-dralts according to the instructions of the general manager. With that aspect of the case, I shall deal later on, but at this stage it is sufficient to indicate that the charges were not denied by the complainant and that his action by allowing over-draits to Srnt. Rajkumari Seth and her son, Shri Rajklshan Seth without tne permission of the respondent and returning the pledged goods without receiving the proportionate amount and thus reducing the security was not justified. Under these circumstances, if the respondent dia not hold the enquiry then as held by their lordships of the Supreme Court in the case between Central Bank of India, Limited and Karunamoy Banei.,ee (1967-11- LLJ-7-iO at p. 745), the holding of enquiry would have been an empty formality.
7- EJven if it is decided that the enquiry was necessary, still I feel that ample;
+ ln r 6 p ly t0 t he charBe-sheet he made an admission of material has been placed on the file by the _esponde^c in order to prove the misconduct of the complainant, and if that misconduct is proved then he will not be entitled to the relief of reinstatement as prayed by hum. Shri Vedpal Suri, MW2 became the general manager of the bank In 1960 and certain irregularities committed by the complainant came to his knowledge besides the unauthorised over-drafts and the release of ornaments to Smt. Rajkumari Seth, He issued a letter dated 19th December, 1960 to the complainant. In this, he brought all the irregularities including that committed in the case of Smt. Rajkumari Seth to his notice. It was pointed out to him that for any short-fall or loss to the respondent he would be personally liable. To this the complainant replied on the 26th of December, 1960 vide Ext. M/17. He gave certain explanations and, then cc>r.enude>rl by saying that he was confident that a 1 the accounts would be adjusted by and by. Thereafter followed the charge-sheet Ext. M/19 on the 1st of February, 1961. Before 1960, Shri Dinanath Mehta, MW1 was the general manager of the bank. He had inspected the office of the complainant between 27th and 30th January, 1959 and sent an inspection note on the 19th of March, 1959 Ext, M/7 to the complainant in which certain irregularities committed by him were brought to his notice. He sent a reply to the inspection note in which it was mentioned that certain action was being taken. Letter dated the 7th of August, 1"59 was from Shri Jagraj, director of the bank to the complainant. In this, it was brought to his notice that in several cases specified therein he had exceeded the limits sanctioned by the board. It was further pointed out that he did not remain within the fixed limits and that it was highly objectionable. He was asked to send an assurance that he would act within the sanctioned limits. The complainant's reply to this was Ext. M/12. In this reply which was sent on the 12th of August, 1959, he acknowledged the receipt of the letter of Shri Jagraj and assured him that in future he would not allow any advance without proper sanction of the board of directors and without execution of the proper documents, demand and pronote etc. Vide Ext. M/2 dated 11th September, 1959 the general manager brought to his notice that in spite of his assurances! irregular advances continued and that the matter was being viewed very seriously In Exts. M/8 and M/14 again it was brought to his notice by the general manager that he was still exceeding the limits which were unauthorised and that the board of directors was taking a very serious view of his actions. Ext. M/18 is a letter ?^ the complainant addressed to Shri Jagraj, director in which he acknowledged the letter of the director dated the 17th January, 1961 and admitted that all the , ornaments mentioned therein were released to Smt, Rajkumari Seth as these were required by her in connection with the marriage of her son, Shri Rajkishan Seth, He also mentioned therein that as the said lady had promised to return the gold ornaments, he gave them to her. This was another letter addressed to the director In which the admission of the charges was made. He also sent under his own signatures, a statement giving the particulars of the ornaments returned to Smt. Rajkumari Seth without obtaining the security vide Ext. M/26 From this documentary evidence analysed above, it is clear that long before the issuance of the charge-sheet, the complainant was in the habit of Issuing over- drafts without the sanction of the board, that in spite of the warnings of the board, he continued to persist in the matter and eventually when he allowed the over-drafts and returned th* pledged goods to Smt. Raikumari Seth and her son "? *"?,m ™ "S? ** ?nd Rn „= in' -nT"iB i* s *t e nt +° proYf *e "^conduct on the part of the complainant so as to justify the order of his dismissal passed by the respondent.
3550 THE GAZEITE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART II—1061 which was written to him by the teneral manager oi the bank. Iu thii it was pointed out that he wat. given two weeks' time w devoie his energies $KQ time lo settle the accouni oi bmt. Rajitumari Hetn and ner son Shri Rajkishan Seth in view of the short-fall caused by the return o± the pledged goods, li wa^ pointed out by the general manager that in spite oi the time given to him, he had not succeeded and had not realised the seriousness oi tne atfairs. His serviced were, therefore, dispensed with and he was dismissed. This letter at the moat shows that after his suspension, the respondent asked him to see that the pledged ornaments which he had returned to Smt. Rajkumari faetn and her son, were taken bacK t,o tnat the loss sustained by the bann was maoe out. Exts. W/2 and W/3 are the copies of letters written by Smt. Rajkumari and her son to the complainant showing that certain title deeds were deposited by them with the bank- The complainant also received a lease-deed from Smt. Rajkumari Seth ot certain property vide Ext. W/4. Ext. W/5 is another letter xrom Smt. Raj- kumari to the complainant in which she asked him to procure an agreement paper in order to enable her to execute the equitable mortgage deed In form of the bank- These documents have been produced by the complainant in order to show that In pursuance of the directions given by the respondent for taking adequate security from the said party to cover up the shortfall, he made attempts in that direction. But this evidence does not in any way prove that he was not guilty. Similarly, Ext. W/6 is a letter WTiten by Smt. Rajkumari Seth and .her son, to the complainant, Ext. W/7 is a letter written by the said party to the director of the bank in which it was mentioned that they were hard up in those days and could not adjust the over-drafts. Ext. W/8 Is another letter written by Smt. Rajkumari Seth and her son to the manager of the bank at Delhi in which it was stated that the price of gold had gone up in the market and directed that their gold ornaments be disposed of. Exts M/ll and M/12 are the two letters which were written by the complainant to the respondent. In •these, the complainant indicated as to what elforts had been made by him to get further security from the debtors. The other documents placed on the file by the complainant consist of the correspondence which passed between him and the respondent regarding the allegation of which I shall make a reference presently. I may add here that before me the case of the complainant was that he was permitting over-drafts in an unauthorised manner to Smt. Rajkumari Seth and her son, Shri Rajkishan Seth under the oraJ Instructions of the then general manager, Shri Dinanath, MW1. He t'.ated that Shri Dinanath was on friendly terms with the said lady and her family and so, what he did was not of his own accord but at the behest of the general manager. This is the detence which has been put-forth before me by the complainant and of which I find a reference in the correspondence exchanged between him and the respondent and which he has placed on the record- I shall now deal with that aspect of the case-
9. Shri Dinanath has appeared and has denied this allegation. He has stat.'d that the powers of the branch managers were never given orally but were specified In the article of association, a copy of which is Ext. M/49A. He further- added that he never gave any oral instructions to the complainant to accommo date the said lady and her son, and never introduced them when they opened their accounts with the bank. The accounts opening forms Exts- M/50 to M/52 of the said party have been placed on the record by the respondent and they do not indicate that the said party was ever Introduced by Shri Dinanath. This allegation of the complainant that whenever Shri Dinanath visited Delhi officially or un-offlcially he stayed with Smt. Rajkumari Seth was denied by Shri Mehta t ut he admitted that the deceased husband of Smt. Rajkumari was known to him from Lahore, where he had an account with the bank. When asked if he attended the funeral of the husband of Rajkumari Seth, he denied to have attended the same. In order to re-enforce his case on this point, the complainant produced a number of witnesses- The first witness is Shri Rajkishan Seth, WW2. He stated that the over-drafts was allowed to him and his mother by Shri Dinanath who had personal relations with the family and who used to stay with them. He further stated that oral instructions were given by Shri Dinanath to the bank that they should not have any difficulty- When asked as to why they required over-draft, the witness replied that they started the business of film financing in Bombay and so they required over-draft. He did not Rive any application In writing to Shtl Dlnanalh for over-draft. I am not impressed with the statement of this witness because Shri Dinanath denied to have stayed at his residence and to have passed oral orders for over-drafts. Shri Dinanath stated that there was no sanction for over-draft from the board of directors. It
SBC.3(H)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3551seems that In order to oblige the complainant from whom he and his mother g"?T back a part of the pledged ornaments which they have not returned so iar, be has come forward to support him. The next witness is Shrl Kishan Chand who retired from the service of the respondent in 1962- He stated that Mehta Dinanath sometimes gave oral orders to allow over-drafts in certain cases- In cross-examination he deposed that Mehta Dinanath asked him to advance Es. 3,000/- to one Chawla, advocate in Amrlisar who was his friend irom Lahore but he refused to comply with that direction. Shri J. D. Bali, WW4 has been dealing with the Delhi branch of the respondent since 1953 and had a current account. Against a fixed deposit amount, he was accommodated upto Rs. 20,000/- He stated that the complainant was powerless in this matter and he approached the higher authorities to get accommodation. He did not give any application 'to the respondent lor over-draft- He added that Shri Suri, the then general manager told the complainant to accommodate him. It was in 1958 or 1959 but Shrl Suri took over as general manager in 1960 and so, the statement of this witness that Shri Suri was the general manager in 1953 and 1959 and he told the complainant to accommodate him for over-draft is on the face of it incorrect. Similarly, the statement of Shri Indersen Chadha, WW5 does not inspire any confidence because he states that Shri Suri, who was the general manager in 1959 gave oral instructions to the complainant to permit the witness over-droft because Shri Suri had not assumed the office of the general manager by that time. Shri Bhatla as WW1 (re-called), admitted that he could not give the date and month when Mehta Dinanath asked him to give over-drafts. He further admitted that the instructions of the bank were that against gold ornaments, he should keep a margin of 33 per cent and advance loans. The oral evidence adduced by the complainant in support of his contention that whatever irregularities he committed were under the Instructions of the then general manager, does not find any support in the circumstantial evidence. It is to be noted that before the Issuance of the charge-sheet to him, the respondent Including Shrl Dinanath had been bringing to his notice in the various letters referred to above that he was exceeding the limits and that the respondent was1 not happy with him. In his reply to the respondent, he never mentioned that he was doing so under the instructions of the general manager. Even in his reply to the charge-sheet, he never pleaded that he had returned the pledged ornaments and had allowed the limits being exceeded under instructions from Shri Dinanath. Even in reply to the letter of Shri Jagraj, soon after the charge-sheet, no such reference was made. It was only in his letter dated the 5th of August. 1961 that he asserted that if there was any irregularity, it was the responsibility of the then general manager and Shrl Dinanath. It is on the face of It an after-thought. Ho repeated this allegation In his subsequent letters dated 21st of August, 2Tth of September and the 13th of October, 1961 addressed to the respondent vide Exts. W/15 to W/17- I am, therefore, satisfied that this plea has now been put-fcrth in order to save himself from the consequences which are bound to impinge adversely on him on account of his unauthorised acts and in fart. Shri Dinanath never orally instructed the complainant to exceed the permissible limits and to allow over-draft and to return the pledged ornaments to the detriment of the respondent- He admitted his fault in his explanation to the charge-sheet and In his letter to Shri Jagraj and so, the allegation of the respondent on that evidence and the other evidence referred to above clearly leads to the conclusion that his order of dismissal was justified. There is no evidence on the record that the com- plainant had been victimised for any of his trade union activities. For the aforesaid reasons, the issue is decided against the complainant.
10. In view of the findings on the above issues, the complaint iaus and is dismissed. The complainant Is not entitled to any relief. The award is made accordingly.

INDUSTRY: Coal Mines.
AWARD
By Order No. 6/1/69-LRII. dated April 9. 1969, the Government of India, In the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Rehabilitation (Department of Labour and Employment), referred the following industrial dispute between the employers in relation to the Benalee Colliery and their workmen, to this tribunal, for adjudication, namely:
'•Whether the management of the Bsnalee Colliery, Post Office Nandi, District Burdwan was justified in terminating the services of Shri Sita Ram Trlpathi, Pit Munshi with effect from the 12th October, 1968? If net, to what relief is the workman entitled?"
It is not disputed that NImcha Coal Company Limited are owners of Benalee Colliery.
2, The concerned workman, Sitaram Trlpathl, filed a written statement himself. His case was not taken up by any trade unfon. According to his written statement, he joined the Benalec Colliery, as a pit munshi, on October 2, 1966 and in October, 1967, he was promoted to the post of Head Munshi, He admits that he had never received any lettei of appointment, In paragraph 2 of the written statement he- states •
"That after joining his appointment, the sala Sitaram Tripathi regularly- worked and his attendance was being marked in the underground attendance Register maintained at the pit (Bogra seam) as well as In a register in attendance room (Time office) * * *".
His further case is that while in the employment he was denied wages from July, 1968, bonus for the quarters ending June and September, 1968, profit sharing bonus for the yeai 1067 'and also benefits under the Wage Board's recommenda- tions with effect from August 15, 1967 to October 12, 1968. He says that when he protested against the non-payment of his dues, he was forcibly removed from the colliery and not allowed to -join his duties with effect from October 12, 1968. In this high-handed action, he further says, the employer company was supported bv one T. N. Shukla. a leader of the employer company sponsored labour Union. Lastly, his case is, aa pleaded in paragraph 6(a):
"*that no formal order of removal/dismissal/terminaUon was passed nor the workman was intimated of any such order but he was physically removed from the colliery and was not allowed to loin his duty;''
3570 THE GAZETTE OP INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART II—3. The employer company also filed a written statement. I need set out oniy two paragraphs from the said written statement:
'•3. That the workman not being an employee of the Colliery, the present reference at his instance is a colourable exercise of his right.
5. That the employers deny the statements and allegations made in paragraph 2 of the written statement of the workman and states that the said Sitaram Trlpathi not being an employee of the Colliery there wa.s no scope or occasion for his name being marked In the under-ground attendance register maintained at the Pit (Bogra Seam) as well as in a register in attendance room as alleged nor was his name so marked."
The story of forcible removal of the workman from the colliery was also denied. 4. The concerned workman himself deposed In support of hia case. L. N. Malliek, the manager of the colliery deposed on behalf of the employer colliery. I shall deal with the oral evidence in the proper context.
5. In proof of the case that he was actually employed In Benalee colliery, the workman relied upon a certificate, dated July 28, 1987. granted by one A. K. Chatterjee, an ex-manager of Benalee colliery. That certificate (Ext. B) reads as follows:
"I have ths pleasure to certify that Sri Sitaram Tripathy, who is working as Pit Munshi for last one year nearly. During fhig period he has not only satisfied us but also his Co-workers.
It must be emphasised that besides his working hours he is always eager and quick to volunteer his services for which he Is much appre- ciated by both his superiors, and Co-workers.
He is always active in public speaking, leadership and welfare activities. Because of his co-operative spirit, pleasant and fine appearance, commendable character and ability, 1 am most confident In giving him a warm and sincere recommendation. He will be a great asset to any future manager."
The reception of the document was objected to on behalf of the management. A. K. Chatterjee was not called to prove the certificate. He was said to have granted the certificate on the eve of his departure from the company. According to the management, A. K. Chatterjee was dismissed from the company's service and the workman Is not in a position to deny that. The workman himself 3ays:
"The certificate was not numbered The factum of giving a certificate to me was not entered in the books of the company."
In this state of evidence, it is difficult for me to place very great reliance on Certificate, Ext. B, and I do not make much of it.
6. The next documentary evidence on which the workman relied was a certificate issued to him by the Mines Vocational Training Officer (TExt. A). Formal proof of this document was dispensed with. In order to appreciate the value of this document. I need refer to certain provisions of the Mines Vocational Training Rules, 1966, framed by the Central Government In exercise of the powers conferred by section 58 of the Mines Act, 1932. Chapter II of the rules deals with "Persons to be Trained" and Rule 3 in the chapter reads as follows:
"(3) Application of Rules—(1) These rules shall apply to all persons employed or to be employed in a mine other than the persons specified herein, name- ly:— (a) Persons employed or to be employed for the purpose of saving Mfc or property or dealing with circumstances arising out of an accident:
Provided that the owner, agent or manager of the mine shall, forthwith give written notice of every such employment to the Chief Inspector and the Regional Inspector.
(b) Persons holding positions enumerated below being persons employed in a confidential capacity or in a position of supervision or management, namely:
(i) manager, undermanager, underground-manager, assistant manager,
ventilation officer and safely officer; (11) mining, electrical and mechanical engineer; (ill) overman, foreman, sirdar and mate. (iv) mechanical and electrical foreman and electrical supervisor;
SEC, 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3571(v) surveyor and assistant surveyor; (vl) medical officer, chemist, assayer, meiallurgist, and welfare or personnel officer; and
(vil) any other person who, in the opinion oi the Chief Inspector, holds a position of supervision or management by whatever name called.
(c) Shotflrers and blasters. (d) Clerks, accountants and register keepers. (e) Persons who have undergone a course of training which is a part of study at an institution approved lay the Central Government in this behalf. (f) Persons undergoing a course of training in the mine aa mining apprentices, provided they work under the poiaonal supervision ol an official of the mine.
(K) Apprentice mechanics or apprentice electricians, if they have undergone an approved course of training at a mine mechanisation centre or other institution approved by the Chief Inspector in this behalf: Provided that the exemption granted to tne persons specified in clauses (d), (e), (f) and (g) shall be subject to the condition that the said person shall undergo a course of refresher training as specified in rule 8.
(2) The Chief Inspector may, by order, for reasons to be recorded In writing and subject to such conditions as he may specify therein, exempt any person or class or category of persons from undergoing any training under these rules."
Chapter IV of the (Rules deals with "Refresher Training". It is with this purticluar training that I am concerned In this reference. I need set out Rules 8, fl and 11 from the said Chapter:
"8. Scope and standard.—Whenever a person returns to employment on the surface or in open cast workings or to employment below ground in a mine, after an absence from work for a period exceeding one year he shall, within one month of his Joining duty, undergo refresher training as detailed in the Fourth Schedule, which shall include a minimum of—
(1) three safety lectures and demonstrations in the case of persons working
on the surface or in open cast workings;
(2) six safety lectures and demonstrations in addition to the training specified in clause (1), in the case of persons working below ground in a non- gassy mine;
(3) six further lectures and demonstrations about the dangers of inflammable gas and methods of dealing with the same, in addition to the training specified in clauses (1) and (2), in the case of persons working below ground in a gassy mine.
*
9. Training of persons already employed-—Every person in employment in a mine at the date of commencement ol this rule shall undergo the refresher training as specified in rule 8, and it shall be sufficient compliance with this rule If before the expiry of every year from such commencement, at least one fifth of the persons so employed are given such training.
11. Arrangement for refresher training.—The refresher training shall be so arranged that the persons who have to undergo training can attend the same con- veniently either before or after their normal working hours,"
It remains for me to set out Rule 28 in Chapter VII, under which certificate. Ext, A, was granted to the workman. The 3aid rule reads:
"28. Certificate to trainees.—(1) Every person who undergoes a course of training prescribed in these rules shall, on completion of the training be interviewed by the Training Officer and if the said officer is satisfied as to the progress and performance of the trainee he shall want a certificate in Form A or Form B, as the case may be. The certificate so granted shall be countersigned by the owner, agent or manager. Where the training Officer is not satisfied with the progress or perfor- mance of any trainee, he shall report the same to the manager, who may either discharge him or, if he thinks fit, arrange to give him further training.
(2) The cost of the photograph to be fixed on the certificate In Form A or Form B shall be borne by the owner or agent.
3573 THE GAZETTE OI< INDfA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART H—(3) A person who has obtained a certificate uti successful completion of the training shall be eligible for absorption, hi any mine, to the category of the post for which he has been trained."
Now, certificate (Ext. A), granted to the concerned workman, is couched In the following language:
"MINES VOCATIONAL TRAINING CERTIFICATE
FORM B
See Rule 28 ( )
Certificate of Refresher training.—I hereby certify that Shri Sitaram Tripathy, s/o Late Brijblharl Ram Tripathy, Village Chhapra Bujurug, Police Station Rudrapur, P.O.

From the above certificate, it appears that the concerned workman had undergone a Refresher Training course in Mines Vocational Training Centre from Benalee Colliery of the Nimcha Coal Company Ltd. and was either a person employed in the Colliery or was a person who returned to employment on the surface or in opeij cast workings or to employment below ground in the mine after an absence from work for a period exceeding one year or was a person who jatisfled the requii ements of Rule 9 in Chapter IV- L. N. Mai lick, the Manager of the colliery when confronted with Ext. A attempted the following explanation:
"To Tribunal—
Silaram Tripathi was a worker of S.S.P. Workers Union in the local area. He requested me for being permitted to attend the Mines Vocational Training. Although he was not a worker in the colliery, I gave him that permission. He got the permission and got himself trained but never applied for work in the colliery and therefore he was not employed In Benalee Colliery. He was not employed In the mine of
SEC 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 35^3ours. Nor was he undergoing training, nor WHB be meant to be employed in our mine. Even then I gave him permission.
Exam, in chief contd.—
For the purpose of granting leave to workmen we follow the leave rul"s in Chapter Vill oi the Mines Rules. We do not recommend for train- ing anybody who Is not a worker of colliery, because no question arises lor granting leave to a non-workman. * * • • "•
Cross Examination—
I have no documentary evidence to show that anybody who is not a trainee in the colliery can be sent up by me for vocational training." The explanation does not convince me. It is difficult to believe that the Manager took liberties, beyond what was permissible under rules, in granting permission to Sitaram Tripathy and that also for apparently no satisfactory reason.
7. That the manager, L. N. Malllck, was not speaking correctly further appears from Exts, C. IX & E. three leave applications, respectively dated December 27, 1967, February 29, 1968 and May 1, 1968. Each one of the applications for leave bear the endorsement 'Granted' with the admitted initial of L. N. Mallick affixed thereon. Confronted with Exts. C. D. & E., L. N. Mallick, the manager, attempted the following explanation:
"Sitaram Trlpathi used to be the Secretary of the S.S.P. Workers. He used to come to my office at times with bunches of leave applications. There were so many Sitarams working in the colliery. I granted leave to Sitarams, who were working in the colliery. Sitaram Tripathi must have taken one or more of such applications as applications of leave for himself. What I mean to say he must have added Tripathi after the name of Sitaram, only after I had granted leave to a Sitaram who was really our workman. The same explanation applies to Ext. C. Ext. D and Ext. E."
In course of cross examination this witness was asked:
Ques: Do you have any document to show that Sitaram Tripathi was the Secretary of any S.S.P. Union?
Ans: I have one document. This is that document. (The witness produces a document in which Sitaram Tripathi is described .is Mazdoor Pratinldhi, Benalee Colliery). The document is marked Ext." 4.
Further persued In cross-examination he admitted that he had no document show- ing that Sitaram Tripathy was the Secretary of the S.S.P. Union. I have ex'mined Exts. C.D. & E. It does not appear to me that the word 'Tripathy' was subse- auently added to the signature of Sitaram. The name appears both In typed script and in manuscript. The typed script is so placed that it belies the sug- gestion of subsequent interpolation. So also does the signature. The entire signature 'Sitaram Tripathy' appears to have been written by one and the same hand and that hand appears to be the hand of Sitaram Tripathy. I am therefore, not pre- pared to place any reliance on the explanation by which L. N. Mallick, the manager, tried to wriggle out of his endorsement on the leave applications, Exts. C, D & E.
8. Thus the position is that the concerned workman got his training as a work- man from Benalee Colliery. The fact that he was working and getting leave from Benalee Co^iery is evidenced by Exts. C, D & K This is sufficient to establish that he was a workman serving in the Benalee Colliery of Nimcha Coal Company Limited.
9. Although this is the position, the workman also did not fair well as a witness. In paragraph 2 of his written statement, which I have already set out, he stated that his attendance was being marked in the underground attendance H"fister (Bogia seam) as well as In the Register of attendance room (Time office). Three volumes of Form C registers for the month of January 19B7 for all the three shifts of underground workmen [Exta. 11(11), 11(35) and 11(38)1 were pro- duced before me. They did not contain the name of Sitaram Tripathy. In his evidence, the workman said, 'I used to sign the wage register at the time of receipt of mv wages'. Wage registers were produced and marked aa Exhibits, ^they did net contain the name of Eitaram Tripathy. In my opinion, th" workman Indulged in over-doing, when he sought for support for his case In Form C
3574 ™E GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PA*TH—registers or In the Wage Registers. If I had not other evidence before ma.Tjhieii falsified the written statement of the employer, It would hav been difflciftf for me to grant relief to the workman on his oral evidence or on the case pleaded by him in the written statement. Fortunately for the workman, there are pieces of evidence of unimpeachable credibi'ity namely, Exts, A.C.D.&E. which support his case. They go to show that he was a workman in Benalee Colliery. If he was a workman there Is no dispute that he was a pit munshl although the work- man's case that he was a head munshi is not established. There is no ground pleaded or shown why his services were terminated with effect from October • 12, 1968.
10. The employer company produced and exhibited a mass of registers to show that the name of Sitaram Tripathy was not borne thereon. In my opinion, the evidence of the registers is of doubtful value, I do not also know whether they are a*I the registers. The documentary pieces of evidence that I have relied tipon ' are far more satisfactory evidence.
11. I. therefore, hold that the management of Benalee Colliery was not justified in terminating the services of Sri Sitaram Tripathy, Pit Munsi, with effect from l^th O" ober 1068. As such he is entitled to reinstatement in his own office. Then? is no evidence that he was wholly unemployed from October 1968. 1 do not, therefore, make any award In his favour for back wages. The order of reinstatement shall take effect forthwith from the date of signing of this award.
This is my award.

By Order No. 6/5/69-LRII, dated April 9, 1969, the Government of India, in the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Rehabilitation (Department of Labour and Employment), referred the following dispute between the management of Patmohana Colliery and their workmen, to this tribunal, for adjudication, namely:
"Whether the managemeht of Patmohana Colliery, Po.st Office Sitarampur, District Burdwan was justified in stopping Shri Ramprem Rajbnar, Miner, from work with effect from the 17th October, 1968? If not, to what relief is the workman entitled?"

SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 3575*4ate of peremptory hearing. The date of peremptory hearing, namely to-day, wai >flixed in the absence of parties, by an order dated June 27, 1969. The parties were Informed of the date of peremptory hearing by registered post.
3 To-day nobody appeared either on behalf of the management or on behalf of the workmen. In these circumstances, I presume that no further dispute exists between the parties. In this presumption I find support from a statement made in an application filed in another reference, namely Reference No. 28 of 1969, which was disposed of on July 18, 1989, to the effect thatthe dispute between the parties in the present reference (namely Reference No. 37 of 1969) stood the •chance of amicable settlement.

The Central Government, being of opinion that an industrial dispute exists between the employers in relation to the Serampur Colliery of National Coal Development Corporation Limited, Giridih, District Hazaribagh (Bihar) a id their workmen, by its order No. 2/48/67-LRII dated 19th September, 1967 re.erred to this Tribunal under Section 10(l)(d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for adju- dication the dispute in respect of matters specified in the schedule annexed thereto. The schedule i3 extracted below:
SCHEDULE
"Whether the employers in relation to the Serampur Colliery of National Coal Development Corporation Limited, Giridih, District Hazaribagh (Bihar) were justified in demoting, with effect from the 1st February, 1966, Shri Ram Kisun Chamar from the post of Mining Sirdar to the post of Shot Firer? If not, to what relief is the workman entitled?" 2. Employers as well as the workmen filed their statement of demands, The employers also filed a rejoinder to the statement of workmen.
3. Shri Ram Kisun Chamar (hereinafter refened to as the affected workman) was a mining sirdar at Serampur colliery of National Coal Development Corpora- tion Ltd., Qlridlh, District Hazaribagh (Bihar) (hereinafter referred to as the em- ployers). On the night intervening 13th and 14th October 1905 an accident took place due to blasting in which one person difd and 2 others were injured. The affected workman was the mining sirdar on duty on the night at the place of occur- rence. On 14th October 1965 the Manager of the colliery served a charge-sheet on the affected workman, alleging that he had failed to discharge his statutory duties under Regulation No. 44(1) (b) and Regulation No. 170(3) of the Mines Regu- lations 1957, that the failure of the affected workman constituted a serious miscon- duct on his part and that he should submit his explanation within 7 days. Through the same charge-sheet the affected workman was suspended with effect from 14th October 1965. The affected workman submitted his explanation, admitting the facts mentioned in the charge-sheet, hut pleading that he was not present at the place of occurrence at the time of the blasting as he had gone to see the deputy overman as wanted by him, that before leaving the place he had repatedly • told the shot flrer not to blast any catridge until and unless he returned, that the shot flrer blasted the catridges in contravention of his instructions and in his absence resulting in the accident and that as such he was Innocent. The Deputy Superin- tendent of collieries issued a memo stating that he would conduct enquiry on 3rd and 4th November, 1963 and Informing the affected workman to present htmsell along with hia witness <"nd evidfenoe- The Deputy Superintendent conducted the enquiry in presence of the affected workman- He examined one witness for the management and the affected workman and 2 witnesses in defence- Then the enquiry officer submitted his report finding the affected workman guilty of the
3580 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART II—charge, under a covering letter to the Additional Area General Manager. The Additional Area General Manager accepted the finding of th§ enquiry qfflceijand dir"ct"<*^the- Dfeputy Superintendent of collieries to issue a notice to thV afflcfted workman to show cause why he should not be demoted as a shot flrer as a punish- ment. Accordingly, a notice was Issued to 1;ho affected workman and he submitted his explanation. The Additional Area General Manager issued a letter punishing the affected workman by demoting him from the oost of mining -sirdar to the post of shot flrer. These facts are not in dispute. The case of the workmen is that the affected workman had left the place of occurrence to meet the deputy overman bs desired by him, directing the shot flrer to Jeave Hie place and to take rest 'and not to fire any shot before the affected workman returned, that In disobedience to his order the shot flrer had fired shots in the absence of the affected workman resulting in the accident, that the enquiry held by the Deputy Superintendent of collieries was perfunctory, that the defence witnesses were cross-examined by the enquiry officer before the affected workman examined them, that the enquiry offi- cer took into consideration the evidence of witnesses who were not examined in the enquiry against the affected workman and that the finding of the enquiry officer was perverse. The workmen were represented by Shn K. L. Pal, Advocate and the employet s by Shrl M. L. Thakur, Group Personnel Officer. On admission by the employers Exts. W 1 to W 9 for the workmen and on admission by th^ work- men Exts. M 1 to M 8 for the employers were marked- On behalf of the work- men the affected workman was examined and on behalf of the employers 2 witnesses were examined and Exts. M 9 to M 30 were marked.
4. In view of the admitted facts the only point to be considered is how far Lhe domestic enquiry held against the affected workman was proper and In accordance with the principles of natural Justice. The domestic enquiry was conducted by Shri J. N. Sarkar, the Deputy Superintendent of Collieries, MW. 1- It is not in dispute that on both the days of enquiry the affected workman was present and he examined himself and 2 witnesses in his defence and onp witness was examined for the management. The enquiry officer, MW. 1 has m his evidence that the •witness for the management was examined by the enmury officer himself and the affected workman did not cross-examine him. The statement of the management's witness Is Ext- M 9. The statement of the affected workman is Ext. M 12 and the statements of his 2 defence witnesses are Exts. M 10 and M 11. The enquiry officer says that the affected workman and his 2 defence witnesses were not examined by any one but they were cross-examined by the Manager. The enquiry officer also cross-examined them. I do not find any irregularity in the procedure adopted by the enquiry officer in recording the statements of the affected workman and his 2 defence witnesses. When the affected workman simply produced himself and his 2 witnesses before the enquiry without putting any question in examination-in-chief, there was nothing wrong in the Manager or the enquiry officer in putting questions and eleoit- mg from them what they knew about the charges brought against the affected work- man. The statements are recorded in questions and answers. Having gone through the statements I find that the affected workman could do no better In eleciting the Information from them by putting questions to them in examinatlon-ln-rhief. The affected workman as well as his 2 witnesses have in their statements that at the time of occurrence the affected workman was away from the place of occurrence nnd that that was the defence pleaded before the enquiry officer. It is not the evidence of the affected workman, WW. 1 that he was not given proper opportunity to cross-examine the management's witnesj or to produce his own defence witnesses. No other Irregularity is alleged in his deposition. Even during arguments no reason is attributed to the enquiry officer why he should give the finding against the affected workman. The enquiry officer had before him the evidencP of one witness for the management and 3 witnesses for defence and on this evidence he arrived at the conclusion that the affected workman was guilty of the charge.. It is true that the enquiry officer referred to the evidence of some witnesses who were not examined in the present enquiry. But 1he point Is whether he had evi- dence before him in the enquiry to support his finding. The Tribunal is not a court of appeal to go into Appreciation of the evidence or see If there was suffi- cient evidence to support the finding of the enquiry officer, particularly when no specific allegation is made regarding the procedure adopted at the enquiry. Having gone through the evidence, Exts. M 9 to M 13, I cannot say that there was no evi- dence at ali to support the finding. I do not find any reason to interfere with ffye finding of the enquiry officer. The finding of the enquiry officer was accepted and tbtf demotion order of the affected workman was Issued bv the Additional Area "General Managed who- Is the highest authority of the colliery. The certified copy of the Judgment of the 1st Class Magistrate, Girldlh dated 4th June, 1968 is brought to my notice. From the judgment ft appears that the affected workman and some other were prosecuted under Section 304A and 937 IPC fn respect of the sanie occurrence and the affected workman was found guilty and convicted and
S E C ^ i i )! THE GA^ETT^ Of INDIA: AUGUST 2J*,J,9")/#WAORA 1,1W 358lsentenced to 1 year RI and six months RI and under each oH the sections- From tlto judgment it does not appear that the affected workman had taken the plea beTore the Magistrate that at the time of the occurrence he was away from the scene •of occurrence at that the shot flrer had done the blasting against the specific direc- tions given by the affected workman.
5. As a result of my above discussions I find that the employers in- relation to the Serampur Colliery of National Coal Development Corporation Limited, Girldih, District Hazarlbagh (Bihar) were justified in demoting, with effect from the 1st February, 1906, the affected workman. Shri Ram Kisun Chamar from the post of Mining Sirdar to the poet of Shot Firer and, consequently the affected workman is not entitled to any relief. The award is made accordingly and submitted under Section 15 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.

3. On 27th September 1968 the employers filed their written statement in which they contend inter alia that the concerned workman Shri Thakur Singh was employed as watchman at the Dlgwadlh colliery. On 10th February 1964 the concerned workman Sri Thakur Singh forcibly snatched away He. 100/- from the hand of Sri Chamru Turl, another employee, at the payment counter of Digwadlh colliery, when the latter received his wages for the month of January, For the above misconduct a chargesheet dated 21st February 1964 waa issued to Sri Thakur Singh to which he submitted his explanation. By a notice dated 27th/29th Fet>- ruary 1964 the date of enquiry was fixed on 4th March 1964. In spite of the above- notice of enquiry the concerned workman Sri Thakur Singh did not attend the departmental enquiry on the above date and It was therefore, conducted in hi* absence. In the above departmental enquiry the misconduct mentioned in the charge sheet was satisfactorily established and Sri Thakur Singh was therefore, dismissed with effect from 8th May 1964. According to the management the dis- missal of Sri Thakur Singh with effect from 8th May 1964 is justified and he I* not entitled to any relief. It is also alleged that "the employers had no knowledge If Shri Thakur Singh was member of Congress Mazdoor Sangh.
4. The Congress Mazdoor Sangh filed the written statement on behalf of the concerned workmen on 21st October 1968 According to the union the concerned workman was permanent employee of tho Management with a blameless service of a long period till he was wrongfully and unlawfully dismissed from service in. Utter disregard of the principles of natural justice by the management with effect from 8th May 1964.
5. The concerned workman was served with charge sheet dated the 20th Feb- ruary, 1964 accusing him of having forcibly snatched the sum of Rs. 100/- from a co-employee when the lattej had received his wages for the month of January, 1964- He was therefore, charged under clauses 19(1), 19(13) and 19(19) of the Standing Orders and violation of the Bihar Prohibition of Workmen's Wages Act- The workman replied to the chargesheet on the 26th February, 1964 denying all the charges. In spite of the workman's denial of the charges the enquiry was alleged to have been held on the 4th of March, 1964 In his absence. The workman In order to substantiate his contention had to collect certain documents from the Ornm Panchayat He was unable to get the documents from the Gram Panohavnt at such a short notice and therefore, he filed an application on the 4th of March. 1964 for extension of one week's time to produce necessary documents. But the request was not granted and the enquiry waa held ex parte in his absence in utter disregard of the principles of natural justice. According to the Union the enquiry was held in utter disregard of the principles of natural justice. According to the According to the Union the dismissal of the concerned workman was unjustified and the workman la therefore, entitled to be reinstated with full back wages-
8. On behalf of the management two witnesses were examined and 15 items of documents were exhibited and were marked as Ext. M-l to M-15- On behalf of the workman one witness was examined namely Sri Thakur Singh, the con- cerned workman and five items of documents were exhibited and were marked as Ext. W-l to W-5.
7. The point for determination Is whether the dismissal of the concerned workman Sri Thakur Singh by the management waa justified?
8. Ext. M-l is the chargesheet. In the cbar(feshe""t it was alleged that nn 10th February 1964 at 12-30 P.M. the concerned workman, Sri Thakur Singh forcibly snatched away Rs. 100 from the hand of Sri Chamru Turi, Line Mazdoor near th" payment counter when he had received his wages for the month of January, 1964.

Clauses 10(1) (13) and (191) of the Standing Orders or that he contravened the provisions of the Bihar Prohibition n? Workmen's Wages Act nor there is any specific finding on the aforesaid point.
11. It is an elementary principle that a person who is required to answer a charge must know not only the accusation but also the testimony by which the accusation is supported It is essential that the chargesheet should be clear con- tain sufficient indications of tho alleged misconduct. The chargesheet must be specific and must set nut all the necessary particulars. The person chargesheeted' must know what he Is charged with and must have the amplest opportunity to meet the charge. A person must be told in the clearest terms and with full parti- r-ulars wh"t he is alleged faults ore.
12. Te object of furnishing a chargesheet is to give an opportunity to the person, ^'ho Is charged with misconduct to give an explanation to defend himself. The r ue of natural justice required that the person charged should know the nature, of offence with which he is charged and should be given opportunity to defend himself and to give a proper explanation.
13- The charges, which a person is called upon to meet must, therefore, be clear; precise and accurate- Fair hearing presupposes a precise and definite cata- logue of charges, so that the persons charged may understand and effectively meet them. If the charges are imprecise or indefinite, the persons charged would not be able to understand them and defend himself effectively, and tho result would not be a fair and just enquiry.
14- In view of the circumstances I hold that the charge was not properly framed against the concerned workman. Even during the ex-parte enquiry there was no evidence on the point of commission of misconduct under clauses 19(1) (13), and (19) nor there was any evidence Qf violation of any of the provisions of Bihar Prohibition of Workmen's Wages Act.
15. The concerned workman Sri Thakur Singh was found guilty of snatching away Rs. 100 fro mthe had of Sri Chamru Turi. Such an act constitutes an offence under the Indian Penal Code cannot be a subject matter of departmental enquiry. Such an act would constitute theft and this kind of misconduct is not covered under any of the provisions of the Standing Order. The domestic Tribunal has no jurisdiction to try a misdemeanour of this kind. A misconduct of thin nature is not covered under any of the provisions of Standing Order and In thla view of the case also the departmental enquiry was not proper, fair and legal-
16. The Supreme Court in Punjab National Bank Ltd.'s case FA-I.R. 1960 * S.C- 160] observed that the enquiry by the Tribunal must be confined to the charges on which the order made by the employer was b&ped- In that case their
388/ TJBBQA3BEI* OF IWOIA: 4JUW3T 23. l#6p/£#4PJl4V 1, J891 [ P A R T ^ I-Lordshlp observed that in- view of the Jact that it i" no$ open to the employer in the enquiry before the Tribunal to add any furtKer charges, the' case" nas^^o be considered by the Tribunal onl^ on tKe1 original charfcesheet a" It wa# framed. Even where the Tribunal is Inclined t* takie-the view that the additional miscon- duct on which the emploer wants to rely would have justified the employee's dismissal the emploer cannot be allowed' td raise the question of such miscon- duct if it has not been included in the orfiffnal chargesheet,
17- There wad another serious infirmity in the enquiry, The concerned work- man Sri Thakur Singh has' submitted his reply to the chargesheet on 26th Feb- ruary 1964. Ext. M-i is the original chargesheet containing both the charge- sheet and the reply thereto. But Ext. M-l was not before the Enquirying Offi- cer at the time of writing his report. The Enquirying Officer, had received the duplicate copy of the chargesheet (Ext. M-8) but it did not contain the reply to the chargesheet by the concerned workman Sri Thakur Singh- The En- quirying Officer, Sri N. K. Prasad is MW-1 and he has stated in his evidence before this tribunal that the explanation of Sri Thakur Singh in reply to the chargesheet was not before him at the time of writing the report.
18. In this view of the case also it cannot be said that the report of the Enquirying Officer was proper and fair because at the time of writing his report the explanation of the concerned workman was not before him.
19. Sri N- K. Prasad, the Enquirying Officer has stated in his evidence that he issued the notice of enquiry on T4th February 1964 fixing the enquiry -on 26th February 1964 (Ext. M-9). On 26th February 1964 Sri Thakur Singh did not attend the enquiry proceeding and therefore, a notice of enquiry was again issued to him on 29th February 1964 fixing the date of enqutrying on 4th March 1964 (vide Ext. M-ll). It is said that the notice of enquiry (Ext- M-ll) was received by Sri Thakur Singh on the same date through peon book (vide Ext. M-15). According io the Enquirying Officer on 4th March 1964 Sri Thakur Singh did not appear in the enquiry proceeding and therefore, he held depart- mental enquiry ex-parte in his absence The case of the concerned workman. Sri Thakur Singh is that it was not possible for him to appear before the depart- mental enquiry on 4th March 1964 because (n order to substantiate his case he had to collect certain papers from the Gram Panchayat- In his evidence he stated before me that on 4th March 1964 he went to attend the enquiry and submitted an application for adjournment the enquiry but the Enquirying Officer did not accept the application and therefore, he sent that application under re- gistered cover. That application is Ext, W-3. In that application he stated that he as emplicated due to enmity in the case. In order to prove this fact he had to obtain papers from the Gram Panrhayat where his case •was pending He further stated that during the short notice it was not possible to him to collect certain papers and therefore, he prayed for adjournment. That paper of Gram Panchayat has been filed before me and has been marked as Ext M-5. This is a complaint by Sri Thnkur Singh to the Gram Panchayat, Jorapokhrjr In which he stated that he was assaulted by Chnmru Turi and was abused by Sri B. Rah- man and S- N. Mian. It is to be noted that it was alleged by the management that he had snatched away Rs. 100 from Sri Chamru Turi and in that connection Sri B- Rahman and S .N. Mishra were the witnesses. His prayer was not granted and the enquiry was held on 4.3-64. From the facts stated above It cannot be said that the concerned workman deliverately and without any reasonable ground absented himself from the enquirying proceeding.
20- In industrial enquiries the question of the bona fides or mala fldes of the employer is often at Issue. It is alleged that the employer was actuated by a desire to victimize a workman for his trade union activity. These are the reasons why domestic enquiries in industrial matters should be held wth scruplous regard for the requirement of natural justice- Care must always be taken to see that these enquiries are not reduced to empty formality.
21. In this view of the case I find that the concerned workman was not given full opportunity to represent his case In the domestic enquiry. In this view also the domestic enquiry cannot be said to be fair and its finding cannot be upheld.

AWARD
The Central Government, bplng of opinion that an industrial dispute exists between the esmployers in relation to the Ena Colliery, Post Office Dhansar (Dhanbad) and their workmen, by its order No. 2/67/67-LR. II dated 4th Sep- tember 1967 referred to this Tribunal under Section 10(1) (d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for adjudication the dispute in respect of the matters speci- fied in the schedule annexed thereto. The schedule is extracted below:
SCHEDULE
"Whether the management of Ena Colliery, Post office Dhansar, Dhanbad was justified in dismissing from service Shri Barkhas Mia, Miner, with effect from the 2nd September, 1968? If not, to what relief is the workman entitled?"
2. The employers as well as the workmen flled their statement of demands,
'A. AB pointed out by the Reference Shri Barkhaa Mil* (hereinafter referred to as the affected workman) was a miner in Ena Colliery. A charge sheet dat"d 27th p"oemb"r, 1966 was Issued bv the Manager of the colliery to the affected workman alleging that on 23rd December, 1965 at No. 4 Pit the affected wo-kmatt had used abusive language in the name of the Manager, that he had also threatened to murqer some of the company's officials and that he should show cause withlij 48 houra why disciplinary action should not be taken against him for the above misconduct. The affected workman submitted his explanation on 29th December. 196,5- denying the allegation contained in the charge-sheet. The Welfare- Offleer of the colliery conducted a domestic enquiry on Mth May, 1968. The affectwj workman participated ^n the enquiry. The enquify officer submitted his report dated 31st May. 1966, holdtnjr the affected workman guilty of the charge. The Manager agreed with the findings of the enquiry officer and recommended that
3586 THE GAZETTE OF rNDlA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PAnrll—'the affected workman should be dismissed from the company's service Th© Director of the company approved the dismissal and directed the Manager t* issue the necessary letter to the affected workman, Another charge-sheet dated •4th June, 1966 was issued to the affected workman under the signature of the Manager. The allegation was that he had remained absent without any leave from 26th March, 1966 till date, and that it was a misconduct on his part to re- main so absent, The affected workman submitted his explanation to the charge- sheet, stating that the allegation was baseless, fulse and not maintainable. On -2nd September, 1966 a letter was issued under the signature of the Manager to the affected workman, stating that as a result of ihe 2 separate domestic enquiries the affected workman was found guilty of the charges brougtil against him in the charge-sheets dated 27th December, 1965 and 4th June. 1966 and that, therefore, he was dismissed from the company's service with immediate effect. These facts are not hi dispute. The case of the workmen is that in respect of the charge- sheet dated 4th June, 1986 no enquiry at all was held and the affected workman was not allowed any opportunity to defend himself. AH regards the charge-sheet dated 27th December, 1965 it was stated that the finding of the enquiry officer was perverse and was a result of premeditation It is also stated that the action of the management was to victimise the affected workman for his trade union activities. The employers filed their statement stating Ihpt tne dismissal of the affected workman was on account of his proved misconducts in terms of the "Standing Orders, that both the domestic enquiries were proper and in accordance - with the principles of natural justice, that the affected workman had participated also in the domestic enquiry conducted by the We'fare Officer In respect of the charge-sheet dated 4th June, 1966 and had also cross-examined the witnesses for "the management, that there was no victimisation on their part for &r.v trade union activities of the affected workman and that the dismissal was proper and justified. They also took a legal objection stating that the dispute Involved In the reference was an individual dispute and as such outside the purview of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The workmen were represented by Shri Prasanta Burman, Vice President. Mine Mazdoor Union and the employers by Shrl S S TVfukherjee, Executive Committee Member. Indian Colliery Owners Association. On admission by the employers Exts. W.I to W.5 for the workmen and on admis- sion by the workmen, Exts. M.I to M.U for the employers were marked. On behalf of the workmen the affected workman was examined as WW.l and Ext. W.9 was marked. On hehalf of the employers a witness was examined and Exts. M.12 to M.25 and Exts. W.6 to W.fi were marked.
4. Shri S. S, Mukherjee, the learned representative of the employers has not nressed the legal objection raised In the statement of the employers against sustain- ability of the reference Moreover, this being a dispute in respect of diimi^al from service of an Individual workman it should be deemed as an Industrial Hknute in view of Section 2-A of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947. The leaal objection is overruled.
,,"?", Admittedly, in respect of the charge-sheet, Ext. M.I the Welfare Officer MW.l held the enquiry and the affected workman participated in it Enquiry proceedings are Ext. M.12 and the enquiry rermrt Is Ext. M.13. 2 witnesses were examined for the management and the affected workman cross-examined them Ihe affected workman Pave his own statement and examined 5 witnesses in his Sf ?n+Cif" " *f lIst w f t n e ss f or t ne management. Shri Barahalal Varma bad deposed that the affected workman *ot furious and started abusing everybody I.e. Munshi mining sirdar in-charge and Manager in fllthv language In the'names of mothers and sisters and also said that ho would slaughter everybody bv beating. The witness further deposed that he would Mil some of the officials. The 2nd witness ™U™ man"eemer,t, Shri Kailash Shantlkary has Jn his evidence that the affected flm^""m * < i" "h" "r^P n ce a b u s l n rI t he ^ " ^ aw and others In a most " ', 'anjrua-£ inclusive of their sisters and mothers and that he stated th*t he would leave the colliery after MPing some of the officials. The evidence of the affected workman and his defence witnesses na-rated nt length how the afreets workman was bein* booked tubs previously and how it was .topped Whatever that be. there cou d be no justification for the affected workman to use mTeh filthy language asamst the Manager and threaten to kH some of the officM, I •vroiot go into appreciation of evidence by noting deseripandes and se- If the conclusions arrived at by the enquiry officer w", correct. Regarding the e n q uS In respect of the charge-sheet, Ext. M8 t*-i" ca"e nf the workmen wasi t h a t t h i£ was no enquiry at all. But the W=lf,rP officer, MW. ha" Tvo"ed that be neW the enquiry on 30th August, 1966 in the presence of th, - /S workman, ttat
SEC. 3(H)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 ' 3587Htc examined 2 witnesses for the management, that the affected workman cross- •examined the witnesses, that the aftected workman also gave his statement but did not examine any defence witness and that the enquiry proceedings are kxt. M.15. It is an admitted fact that the affected workman did not attend to his duty irom 26th March, 1966 without permission or leave. In the explanation, Ext. M.9 1 the ailected workman had stated that on 26th March, 1966 he had received informa- tion that his mother had fallen ill, that he returned back within a week and that after his return he was not allowed to resume duty. But in this reaped, there Is absolutely no evidence to support the affected workman. On this material it cannot be said that the findings of the enquiry officer in respect of both the enquiries were without any basis or that they were perverse. The enquiry officer, MW.l has in his evidence that he had recorded the statements in both the enquiries in t/iL presence of the ailected workman, read them over and explained to him in Hindi. In the evidence of the affected workman, WW.l there is not a word about any irregularity in respect of either of the 2 enquiries. His whole evidence related to the fact that from the beginning he was working aa a miner's siidar and the management used to cut the wages of one tub from the gang of miners and credit it to the account of the ailected workman and on refusal to continue the practice a dispute arose between the affected workman and the munshi and the management. This is a fact not related to the subject matter of the reference. The reference is confined to the justification or otherwise of the dismissal of the -affected workman and from the record it is established that he was dismissed for committing misconducts by abusing the Manager and threatening to kill one of the officials and by absenting without leave for more than 10 days. The work- men had pleaded that the affected workman was victimised for his trade union activities. In this regard also there is no evidence of probative value. The affected workman, WW.l says that as the Assistant Secretary, Colliery Mazdoor Sangh he had espoused the causes of workmen and as such, the management had victimised him. Exts. W.3, W.5 and W.9, which are brought on record for the purpose do not show that the management had any grouse against the affected •workman. Merely because the affected workman had represented to the manage- ment and others the grievances of the workmen It does not give rise to the necessary Inference that the management was displeased or made up their mind to victimise the affected workman. Apart from the affected workman, no other witness is examined by the workmen.
0. As the result of my above discussion I find that the management of Ena Colliery, P.O. Dhansar, Dhanbad was iustifled in dismissing from service Shri Barkhas Mia, Miner with effect from the 2nd September, 1966, and consequently "he is not entitled to any relief. The award is made accordingly and submitted under Section 15 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947,

INTERIM AWARD
1. The reference before this tribunal is "whether the dismissal of Shri Satya Gopal Choudhury by the management of Lodna colliery (New Standard) of Messrs Madhavji K. Varma and Sons Private Limited with effect from the 16tb July, 1964, was an act of victimisation? If so, to what relief is the workman entitled?".
2. The above dispute was raised by the Khan Mazdoor Congress (hereinafter referred to as the Union). Tn the order of reference the Manager, Lodna Colliery of New Standard Co. (P) Ltd. was impleaded as party. On 17th December 1968 the Union filed a petition to the effect that from the very notification of the refe- rence it shall be obvious that in addition to New Standard Coal Co. (P) Ltd,, v;h1rh is owner of Lodna Colliery, M/s. Madbavji K. Varma & Song (P) Ltd., who was the then management of the colliery and in that capacity dismissed the work- man concerned, also stands in the position of the employer, in relation to the present dispute. It was further submitted that, besides New Standard Coal Co. (P) Ltd. M/s. Madhavji K. Varma & Sons (P) Ltd., and the Special Officer, Sri K. C. Mukherjee, also stand in the position of employers vis-a-vis Lodna Colliery in relation to the dispute under reference, Or J,hese grounds they sub- mitted that for the purpose of full enquiry into the object matter of dispute, and in order to give a full and comprehensive findin[ n the subject of reference, and also to give appropriate relief, it is necessary that Madhavji K. Varma & Sons (P) Ltd- and Special Officer, Shri K. C. Mukherjee, should be joined a neces- sary parties in the present dispute, on the side of the employers.
3. On 19th February 1969 Sri K. C. Mukherjee. Special Officer, New Standard Coal Co. (P) Ltd., appeared and filed written statement. On 2'ith February 1969 M/s. Madhavji K. Varma & Sons (P) Ltd., appeared and filed their written state- ment. On behalf of the Coal Company the written statement was filed on 31 fit
3590 THE GAZETTE OF INL>1A: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PART il- -October 1968. In their written statement they alleged inter alia that the owner cf the New Standard Lodna Collieiy is not concerned in the present reference as the management of the colliery, at tlie relevant time, was vested in M/s. Madhavji K. Varma & Sons (P) Ltd., hereafter referred to as the Varma Company. Since the workman concerned had been dismissed by the Varma Company, wheh was then his employer they are not necessary parties to the dispute. There was never any dispute between the Coal Company and its workmen, The concerned work- man was m fact dismissed by the Varma Company. The concerned workman wao not dismissed by the Coal Company. The present reference therefore, in respect to the Coal Company is not valid in law. Therefore, according to them the Coal Company has been wrongly made a party to the present dispute. They raised preliminary objection at the beginning of the proceeding and prayed that this point may be decided before the tribunal proceeds to consider the reference on merit.
4. Shri K. C. Mukherjec, Special Officer, New Standard Coal Co. (P) Ltd. also alleged inter alia in their written statement that Satyagopal ChoJdhury was dis- missed from service on 16th July 1964 when Madhavji K. Varma & Sons (P) Ltd. were in absolute contract and charge of the colliery and that he had nothing to do with the dismissal of the workman. The said workman was chargesheeted and dismissed by Madhavji K. Varma & Sons Private Limited.
5. The Varma Company in their written statement alleged inter alia that by virtue of an agreement for lease dated 11th February, 1964, the charge possession and management of the said colliery was given to M/s. Madhavji K. Varma & Sons (P) Ltd. But the lease dated 11th of February, 1964 was declared illegal by the Calcutta High Court by order dated the 25th August, 1964. Therefore, during the period from llth of February, 1964 till 25th August, 1964 the Verma Company was In illegal possession and management of the said colliery and that during this period also for all the practical and legal purposes the management would be considered to be that of Mr, K- C. Mukherjee, the Special Officer appointed by the High Court and any act committed by M/s. Madhavji K. Varma & Sons (P) Ltd., would be considered as an act of commission by the Special Officer.
6. The Varma Company had to work as joint Managers under the Special Officer in terms of the said order dated 25th August, 1964 but on 13th February 1968 by order of the Calcutta High Court, the management of Lodna Colliery was entrusted to Sri Pradip Basu one of the Directors of the New Standard Coal Co. (P) Ltd. Accordingly they prayed that they should not be directed to parti- cipate in the present proceeding because any award if given in favour of the work- man for reinstatement, the Varma Company shall not be able to implement the same since they are completely out of the management, administration and control of the Lodna Colliery and therefore, they prayed that the Varma Company be expunged form the terms of this reference.
7. In this connection I may also refer to the stand taken by the Union before the conciliation officer. According to the Union M/s. Varma Company had no locusBtandi to take any disciplinary action inasmuch as they were not employers. But M/s. New Standard Coal Company (P) Ltd. was the employer and the dis- ciplinary action, if any would have been taken only by Sri K. C. Mukherjee who was the Special Officer, appointed by the Hon'ble Calcutta High Court.
8. In view of the stand taken by the parties in their written statements I will first take up the preliminary point raised by the aforesaid parties regarding their being impleaded as parties to the proceeding.
9. Before entering into legal discussion it is better to state in brief the admit- ted facts regarding ownership, management and possession of the Lodna Colliery of New Standard Coal Company (P) Ltd.
10. M/s. New Standard Coal Co. fP) Ltd. is the owner of New Standard Lodna Co'liery. Some of the share-holders of the aforesaid company filed application before the Hon'ble High Court at Calcutta under section 397, 398 and 402 of the Company's Act, 1956, complaining about the mismanagement and misappropriation of the Company's property and prayed to take suitable steps for safeguarding the same. In an order passed on 3rd of August 1963 the Calcutta High Court appoint- ed Sri K. C. Mukherjee, Bar-at-law as the Special Officer to look into the affaire of the said company. Sri K. C. Mukherjee, Special Officer was permitted by the Calcutta High Court to accept the offer of the Varma Company and consequently by an order made on the 7th of February, 1964 leave was given to Sri K. C. Mukherjee, Special Officer, to enter into an agreement for lease of the Colliery to
SEC "(ii)] THE GAZFTTh OF INDIA. AUGl'ST 23, 1969/BHADKA i, 1891 3591Varma Company. On the 5th of May an app ication was made by a former direc- tor oL +he conn.iny ?or setting aside the order made on 7th February 3964. By an order dated 25th August 1964 the lease dated 11th of February 1964 was declared illegal because it had contiavened certain provisions of the Mineral Concession Rules, according to which the legal transfer would be that when the transferor seeks proper permission from the nppropiintc State Government and gets appro- val from the Central Government under provisions of Rule 37 of the Mineral Con- cession Rules and then enters into an agreement with a transferee and hands over possession to them. By an order dated 25th August 1964, the Calcutta High Court directed M/s. Madhavji K. Varma & Sons (P) Ltd. to hand over possession to Sri K. C. Mukherjee, Special Officer and by the same order four Directors of Madhavji K, Varma & Sons (P) Ltd. were appointed managers to exploit the mines. Therefore, since 25th August 3964, the coFiery was placed under the joint management of the Special Officer and Madhavji K. Varma. Since 25th August 1964 the Special Officer took over the possession of the colliery and entered into joint management with Madhavji K Varma & Sons (P) Ltd.
11. Ky1 another order dated 13th February, 1968 Sri K C. Mukherjee, the Special Officer was directed by the Calcutta High Court to hand over possession of the colliery to Sri Pradip Basu one of the agents for working the mines and in persuance of that direction Sri K. C, Mukherjee Special Officer handed over the possession of the colliery to Sri B. Basu on 13th February 1968. There- fore, since 13th February 1968 the sole management of Lodna colliery was en- trusted to Sri P. Basu one of the Directors of the New Standard Coal Co. and Madhavji K. Varma has been divested of all power and responsibility of manage- ment of the co'liery.
12. In this connection it is to be noted that throughout these proceedings beginning from the year 1963 upto the present time, the New Standard Coal Company (P) Ltd. has all along remained sole owner of the Lodna Colliery.
13. The implied power of the tribunal to summon additional parties is confined only to cases where such addition appears to be necessary for making a reference complete and an award effective and enforceable.

IS. The Mine Massdoor Union, Sijua llled written statement on 20th May, 1967.
In respect to the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh, Miner mentioned in item No, I of the schedule of reference, their case is Lh.-'t on the relevant day, i.e. on 24th August 1066 the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh, while proceeding t0 work found that the cap-lamp issued to him was not in proper order and therefore, he tried to adjust the contact of ilic bull" in the attendance room. The attendance clerk wrongly accused him of trying to steel the bulb and took him to the office Of the colliery Labour Officer and there he was forced to give thumb impression on a blank piece of paper which he did out of fear and subsequently hc was given a chargesheet, alleging Tampering with lamp, which he denied and satisfactorily explained tr.e Lucumstances alleged against him- But the management dismissed him without holding any enquiry m rlear infringement of the principles of natural .justice. It was Jurihei contended by him that even iC it be assumed, without admitting, thai the workman was fuilty of Lhe act alleged, the punishment of dismissal war-, e^oe'sslve in the s,ivon rircunr-lances of the case, and in contravention of the provision of the Standing Orders in this regard. According to the Union the concerned workman was one oi the old and permanent employee of the colliery and that th<_ management had been following a policy of replacing old workers "by new cc.-.Hal/temporary workers at lower wages, on all soil's of preiexts and the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh was wrongly dismissed i'l pursuance of that policy. Affording to the Union the action of the management wss illegal, viala fide and unjustilied
4. In respect to the concerned workman SUIJOO Kumliar, Timber Mistry mentioned IK item No. 2 of the schedule of reference their <_ase is that the concerned workman Sri Sarjoo Kumhnr went home on authorised leave, where he fell 111 and was thus unable 'to return J'I time to resume duty. After recovery he reported to the colliery foi resumption of work along with a medical certificate. But he was given a charge sheet alleging lorii; unauthorised absence to which he gave a reasonable and satisfactory explanation. But the management dismissed him without holding any propei enquiry and without any justification. According to the Union the act of dismissal was in vlo^tion of the principles of natural justice, and the provisions of the Standing Orders. According to the Union the concerned workman Sri Surjoo Kumhar was also a very old employee of the colliery and that the management following a policy of replacing old workers by new casual workers at lower wages on all sort^ of pretexts, and Surjoo Kumhar was dismissed in pursuance of that policy. The case of the union is that the action of the management was illegal, mala fide and unjustified. The Union therefore, prayed tor the reinstatement of both the concerned workmen Sri Deo Singh. Miner and Sri Surjoo Kumhar, Timber Mistry with full back wages.
5. The employers filed their written statement on Kith June, 1969. Their case Is" that Sri Deo Singh, miner was issued a charge-sheet on 24th August, 196G for the misconduct stated therein and was suspended pending enquiry. But the concerned workman in his explanation to the charge-sheet denied the charge but on the same date, when his statement wris recorded, he categorically admitted trie charge. The charge, therefore, stood established on his own admission and he was therefore, dismissed from service by the Agent and he was {railed letter of dismissal dated 1st September, 1966 by the manager.
0. Their case In regard to Sri Surjoo Kumhar Timber Mistry Is that he had gone on leave with pay from 21st March, 1966 to Gth April, 1966. tie overstayed his leave and absented for more than 25 days without permission. He was there- fore, issued charge-sheet on 6th May, 1966. The workman in his reply while admitting the charge, stated that he had sent a person to inform the manage- ment about hia sickness as he had fallen sick. On arrival he gave a medical admitting the charge, stated that he had sent person to inform the manajfe- enquiry was held and during the enquiry the workman concerned, while stating that he was sick under treatment of a doctor, further stated that he admitted
3594 T HE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PARF (L--his guilt and beg to be excused. The enquirying officer in his report held the charge of absence for more tnan 25 days as estaolished against him. Therefore, he was dismissed by the Agent lor the proved misconduct. The letter terminating bis services with effect from 8th June, 1966 was issued to him. According to the management he was dismissed tor proved misconduct and in accordance with the provisions of the Standing Orders. According to the management their action in dismissing both the concerned workmen was oonaflde and the concerned two work- men were dismissed for proved misconduct..
7. I shall first take up the case of the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh, Miner mentioned in item JNo. 1 of the schedule of tne reference. On 24th August, 1988 a charge-sheet was issued to the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh on the allega- tion tnat on 24th August, 1966 (second shift.) he had taken bulb from another lamp and was putting the same in his own lamp and therefore, was charged with tampering with the lamp which was a violation of the Mining Regulation (Ext. M-l). On 25th August, 1966 the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh in hit. reply to the charge-sheet denied the allegation mentioned in the charge-sheet date4 24th August, 1966 and claimed that he was innocent and may be permitted to join his duty. The enquiry was conducted by Sri H. R. Singh Sodhi, MW-1, the Administrative Officer of the colliery. The enquiry itself was held on 25th August, 1966. MW-1 Sri H. R. Singh Sodhi has stated in his evidence before me that he received the charge-sheet (Ext. M-l) from the manager on 25th August, 1968 and tin that very date i.e. on 25th August, 1966 Sri Sant Singh, Peon was sent to call the concerned workman, Sri Deo Singh, miner to participate in the enquiry. According to WW-1 Sri Deo Singh the concerned workman appeared before him and gave his statement (vide Ext. M-2), In his statement he stated that on 24th August, 1966 in Lhe second shift he had taken out the bulb from the lamp No. 1032 and fixed the same In his lamp No. 957 and that he fixed the bulb of lamp No. 957 in the lamp of 1032. The management had not any witness during the enquiry to prove the charge. The Enquirying Officer In his report dated 26th August, 1966 held that the concerned workman admitted his guilt of taking out the bulb from another lamp No. 1032 and had put the same in his lamp No. 957. Therefore, the charge of tampering with the lamp was proved beyond any doubt (vide Ext, M-3). The manager by his letter dated 1st September, 1966 intimated the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh that the charge of misconduct under the Standing Order had been established in the enquiry and therefore, he was dismissed from service of the colliery with immediate effect i.e. from 1st September, 1966.
8. The principle that should govern the procedure to be followed by employer while taking disciplinary action against the workmen have been laid down by the Courts in several decisions.
9. A worker who has committed an act of misconduct and against whom his employer wants to take a disciplinary action, must, be served with the charge- sheet, setting forth clearly and precisely the particulars of the act of misconduct committed by him. The charge-sheet must also allow a reasonable period of time to the worker to submit his explanation. The worker must be given a proper opportunity to explain the circumstances alleged against him and to call for his own evidence if any in defence. The employer, in awarding punishment to the worker, must take into consideration the gravity of the misconduct com- mitted by him, his past record of service and other extenuating or aggravating circumstances, if any.
10. Gajendragadkar J. in Associated Cement Companies case [1963(2)L.L.J., page 396], said "It is necessary to emphasise that in domestic enquiries, the employer should take steps first to lead evidence against the workman charged, give an opportunity to the workman to cross-examine the said evidence and then should the workman be asked whether he wants to give any exp'anatlon about the evidence led against him. It seems to us that it is not fair in domestic enquiries against industrial employees that at the very commencement of the enquiry, the employee should be closely cross-examined even before any other evidence is Jed against him. In dealing with domestic enquiries held in such industrial matters, we cannot overlook the fact that in a large majority of cases employees are likely to be ienorant and so, It is necessary not to expose them to the risk of cross-examination in the manner adopted In the enquiry proceed-
SEC. 3(ii)] THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 359511. "It may be that failure to intimate to the workman concerned about the #ate of the enquiry may, by itself, not constitute an infirmity in the enquiry, but, on the other hand it is necessary to bear in mind that It would be fair if the workman is told as to when the enquiry is going to be held so that he has an opportunity to prepare himself to make his defence at the said enquiry and to collect such evidence as he may wish to lead m support of his defence. On the whole, it would not be right that the workman should be called on any day without previous intimation and the enquiry should begin straightaway. Such a course should ordinarily be avoided in holding domestic enquiries in industrial matters."
12. In the instant case we find that ihe charge-sheet was served on the con- cerned workman on 24th August, 1966. The concerned workman gave his reply to the charge-sheet on 25th August, 1966. The Management did not Inform the concerned workman about the date of the enquiry. According to the management the concerned workman was called on 25th August, 1966 without previous intima- tion and started the enquiry straightaway on 25th August, 1966. In this parti- cular case the management did not examine any of their witnesses. At the very commencement of the enquiry the statement of the concerned workman was recorded. Ext. M.2 is said to be the statement of the concerned workman. The concerned workmen Sri Deo Singh is illiterate. The perusal of the statement In Ext. M.2 will show that the statement is not in his language. There is no certi- ficate given at the foot of the statement that the contents were read over and ex- plained to the concerned workman. Even the enquirying officer MW-1 does not say on oath that the statement was recorded In his own pen. This admission of the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh suffers from various infirmities and it would not be safe to act upon the same.
13. The charge was for replacing bulb from cap lamp No. 1032 to cap lamp No. 957 which was a contravention of Regulation 156(6) of the Coal Mines Regu- lations 1956 which runs as follows:—
"No person shall wilfully damage or improperly use, or unlock or open or attempt to unlock or open any safety lamp."
For contravention of this technical violation of rule Iii6(6) the concerned work- man has been awarded with punishment of dismissal. In this connection the Supreme Court In Hind Construction and Engineering Go's case [1965(11 L.L.J., page 462] observed as follows:
"In rospect of punishment, it has been held f'l various cases, that tho award of punishment for misconduct under the 'standing orders, if any, is a matter for the management to decH" aid if thpre Is any justification for the punishment imposed, the Tribunal should not interfere The Tribunal is not required to consider the nropriety of adequacy of the punishment; whpther \t Is excessive or too severe. But where the punishment; is shockingly disproportionate regard being had to the particular conduct and the past record or is such, as no reason- able employer would ever impose In Hke circumstances, the Tribunal may treat the Imposition of such punishment as rhowing victimisation or unfair Labour practice.".
14. In the instant case, it can plainly be said that tbp punishment Imposed was one which no reasonable employer would have imposed in like circumstances unless it served some other purpose.
15 In this view of the case I hold that the report made by the enquirying officer against the concerned workman Sri Deo Singh, Miner can not be accepted as report made after holding a proper enquiry in accordance with the principles of natural justice.
16. In this view of the case I hold that the dismissal of the concerned work- man Sri Deo Singh, Miner with effect from the 1st of Sentember. 1966 was not justified. He Is therefore, entitled to be reinstated with full back wanes from the date of dismissal I.e. from the 1st September, 1966 unto the date of his reinstate- ment with continuity of service.
17. I will now take up the case of Surioo Kumhar. Timber Mistry, workman mentioned in item No. 2 of the Schedu1? of reference. The point for determina- tion Is whether the management was justified in terminatin? the services of Sri Surjoo Kumhar with effect from 8th of June, 1966.
3596 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA: AUGUST 23, 1969/BHADRA 1, 1891 [PARTU—18. A charge-sheet dated 6th June, 1966 was Issued to the concerned workman Sri Sarjoo Kumhar on the allegation that he went on leave with pay f-om 2ISt March 1966 to 6th April, 1066 and he ought to have resumed his duty on expiry of his leave i.e- on 7th April, 1966 but he overstayed more than 25 days without giving any Intimation whatsoever to the management and that his absence from duty without permission amounted to misconduct under the Standing Order which makes him liable for disciplinary action (vide Ext. M-5). Ext. M-6 is the reply to the charge-sheei in which the concerned workman Surjoo Kumhar stated that he went on leave after taking permission of the management. But in his village home he fell ill and sent a man to the management with this information but the aforesaid man did not give the requisite information to the management, lie lurther stated that on account of his illness he was unable to send any infor- mation to the management.
19. The reply to the charge-sheet was not considered satisfactory and there- fore, the management served a notice on the concerned workman intimating that an inquiry shall be held in connection with the charge-sheet in the office of the enquirylng Officer on 11th May, 1966 at 4-30 P.M. (Vide Ext. M-7).
20. MW-1 Sri H. R. Singh Sodhi who conducted the domestic enquiry stated before me that the concerned workman Sri Surjoo Kumhar gave his ttatement on 10th May, 1966 and that he was also examined by him on 11th May, I960. Ext. M-8 contains the statement oi Sri Sarjoo Kumhar, the concerned workman as well as his cross-examination by the enquirying officer on 10th May, 1966. In the enquiry report Ext. M-9 tho Enquirying Officer has stated that on going through the statement and the answers to the questions it was proved beyond any doubt that the concerned workman Sri Sarjoo Kumhar absented himself from duty without permission from the management and therefore, the management was at liberty to take any action that it may deem fit. In the evidence before me he stated that he conducted the enquiry on 11th May, 1966. But there is no paper showing that at a matter of fact he conducted the enquiry on l'th May, 1966. In the enquiry report he does not refer to any other evidence except the statement of the concerned worlonan Sri Sarjoo Kumhar taken on 10th May, 1906. Therefore, from the evidence it is quite clear that as a matter of fact no enquiry was'held on 11th May, 1966.
21. It appears that the management relied on the statement of Sri Sarjoo Kumhar received on 10th May, 19(50. The Management considered the statement of the concerned workman Sarjoo Kumar given on 10th May, 1966 as admission of guilt. The Enquirying Officer based his finding on the aforesaid statement of the concerned workman and held no enquiry on 11th May, 1966 as mentioned In the notice of enquiry Ext, M-7.
22. Ext. M-8 is said to be the statement of the concerned workman Sri Sarjoo Kumhar. The sentence "I admit my fault and beg to be excused. I had reported for duty on 3rd May, 1966", appears to be written subsequently in different ink and pen It appears to be an interpolation. The enquiry report (Ext. M-9) is silent about this categorical admission of the concerned workman Sri Sarjoo Kumhar. It appears that the concerned workman was even cross-examined by the •Enquirying Officer. There was no occasion to cross-examine the concerned work- man if he had admitted the guilt. It is therefore, not safe to rely on the state- ment Riven in Ext. M-8.
23. Therefore, I find that in this < ase no enquiry was held by the management on llth May, 1968 as given in the notice Ext. M-7. The management without hold- ing any proper enquiry terminated the services of the concerned workman with effect from 8th June, 1906. The Enquiry therefore violated the principles of natural justice and therefore, the enquiry report and the order terminating his services cannot be upheld. The concerned workman Sri Sarjoo Kumhar is there- fore, entitled to be reinstated with full back watfes from the date of dismissal i.e. from the 8th of June, 1966 upto the date of his reinstatement with continuity of service.
This is my award. It may be submitted to the Central Government under section 15 of the Industrial Disputes Act. 1947.

PRINTED BY THE OENERAL MANAGER, GOVERNMENT OF OTHA F I U M,
NEW DELHI AND PUBLISHED BY THE MANAGER OF PUBLICATIONS, DELHI, ^POft
- y terms with Mehta Dina Nath, who is at present director of the bank. The com- plaint further proceeded that during the tenure of his general manager-ship, Smt. Rajkumari pledged certain gold ornaments with the Delhi branch of the bank and whenever the said general manager visited Pelhi, he gave verbal instruc- tions to the complainant to show her accommodation. On account of the alleged close relations of Smt. Rajkumari with the general manager, her son Shrl Rajkishan Seth was also allowed thr; ?arlHty of overdraft in 1958 under his verbal orders. The complainant states that under verbal instructions of Mehta Dina Nath, he showed accommodation to the said two customers of the bank and allowed them over-drafts- Suddenly, according to the complainant, he received a charge- sheet dated the 1st of February, 1961 from the respondent in respect of certain transactions with Smt, Rajkumari and her son, Shri Rajkishan Seth. The com- plainant submitted his explanation In which he alleged that all the transactions were made according to the instructions and desires of the then general manager,, which were within the knowledge of the higher ups and no objection had been raised. The complainant states that this explanation annoyed the respondent with the result that he received a letter dated 19th June, 1961 on the 22nd of June. 1961 dismissing him from service. He claimed relief of reinstatement with full back wages and prayed that the complaint be decided. 5. The respondent in reply to the complaint stated that the reflection cast on the ex-general manager or the then general manager by the complainant was incorrect and in fact it was the complainant himself who allowed over-drafts to Smt. Raikumari and her son exceeding the permissible amount. Further more, he returned gold ornaments which were lying pledged as security with the respondent to Smt. Rajkumari and her son Shri Rajkishan Seth in an unauthorised •manner despite the fact that he was previously asked to desist from acting in an Irregular manner. The ex-general manager asked him to get the Irregular accounts of the said two parties adjusted and the complainant vide his letter dated 21st October. 1959 assured that he would do so but instead of doing so, he returned valuable security to the party without recovering the equivalent loan. It was further avered that full opportunity was given to the complainant to reply to the charge-sheet and In his explanation he a^mitt«d the offence foT which he was found guilty. It was, therefore, pleaded that he was not entitled to any relief. ↩
- proved considerably of lesser value. After this release the value of the security held fell short by about Us. 4,000/- to the aggregate of balances which were out- standing In the party's accounts. He pleaded that considering the above factsr he should not be held personally liable for the short-fall. Now in this explana- tion, there was a clear admission as alleged in the charge-sheet that without the authority, the complainant had parted with a part of the pledged security of ornaments to Smt. Rajkumari Seth on her making the request that they were required In connection with the betrothal of her son. He also admitted that the security fell short bv about Rs. 4,000/-. He also did not deny that the gold ornaments pledged against a loan of Rs. 2,500/- granted to Shri Rajkishan Seth on the 29th of April, 1059 weighing 24 tola, 1 masha 6 ratti and one sold watch and chain, had been reduced to 9 toV 6 masha with watches on the 14th of January, 1961. This being so, as was contended by the learned counsel for the respondent, there was an admission on the part of the complainant that he had parted with the security. There was a resolution dated the 25th December, 19H3 of the board of directors. In this resolution, certain rjowers were delegated to the managers of different branches of the bank but they were never permitted to return the pledged goods to the constituents of the bank without receiving the proportionate amount of loan or to allow over-drafts without any security. So. this act on the part of the complainant was on the face of It unauthrised and he had not been permitted to do so by the respondent. In cross-examination- he was asked if he could deny that the manager (complainant) had no powers' ↩

- etely or ade- quately represent the interest either on the side of the employer, or on the side of the employee; it may direct that other persons should be joined who would be necessary to represent such interest. The test always must be, is the addition of the party necessary to make the adjudication itself effective and enforceable? In other words, the test may well be, would the non-ioinder of the party make the adjudication proceedings ineffective and unenforceable? It is in the light of this test that the implied power of the tribunal to add parties must be held to be limited." 15. Therefoie, the main queMio'i u- uhethrr the Union is justified in contend- ing that not only the Coal Company as mentioned in the Schedule of reference as Darties to the proceeding but also M/s. Madhavii K. Varma & Sors (P) Ltd. and Sri K, C. Mukherjee are necessary parties to the present proceeding before this tribunal and therefore, should be added as such. 16. The discussion referred above shows that M/s. New Standard Coal Com- pany Ltd. were the owners of the New Standard Lodna Colliery. The Varma Companv came in possession by virtue of the lease executed on 11th of February 1964. The Calcutta High Court by their order dated 25th of August 1964 declared the aforesaid lease dated 11th of February 1964 illegal The concerned workman Sri Satya^opal Chaudhurv was dismissed with effect from the 16th of July 1964 during the continuance of the lease dated 11th February 1964 which was subse- quently declared illegal. The Varma Company had to work as joint manager under the Special Officer according to the terms of of the order of the Calcutta, ↩
