The Oovt. of India in the Ministry of Labour in exercise of to powers conferred on item U/s. lOUXd) erf the Industrial Disputes Act. 14 of 1947 has referred the dis- pute to this Tribunal for adjudication uii

SCHEDULE

"Whether the action of the management of Bank of Baroda, Ramgarh, Dist. Hazaribagh, in terminating the services of Shri Sheo Kumar Rai, Cash Clerk and Head Cashier, Ramgarh Branch of the Bank with effect from 18th December, 1976 is leRal and justified ? If not, to what relief is the workman entitled ?"

2. Shri Shco Kumar Rai was a permanent Cash Clerk and Head Cashier having about 14 years of service and was workine as such in the Ramgarh Branch of the Bank of Baroda. He has a good record of service as alleged by him. During the relevant period Shri D'Souza was working as Agent of the said Bank and he was under order of transfer. In his rtlace Sri S. R. Mehrotra had come to join. On 22nd September, 1976 after Bnnk hours he verified the- cash In presence of the then Manager or Aficnt Shri D'Souza, the Head Cashier and Sri B. K. Dayal, Cnshi-r and others. He found shortage of cash amounting to Rs. 14,100/- in hundred rupee denomination currencv notes in seven packets. The amount was made good by the concerned clerk as also the Cashier Sri B. K. Dayal in the same evening. Subsequently both Sri B. K. Dayal mid the concerned workman Shri Rai were removed from service. Shri B. K. Dayal is however dead. The services of the concerned workman Sli S, K. Rai was terminated by a letter dated 18th December, 1976 (Ext. M-l) on the sround of loss of confidence. The said termi- nation has been challenged in the present reference.

3. The case of the concerned workman is that his services are governed by various awards and settlements and that his termination is illegal and unjustified. It is submitted by him that though the shortage was detected On 22nd Septem- ber, 1976 but Ills services were terminated with effect from 18th December, 1976 and that n F.T.R. WPS lodged against him as late as on 12th January, 1977 at 18 hours in which it was alleged that the amount in question hn^ been with- drawn by the concerned clerk and Sri B. K. Daval jointly for their personal needs. It is submitted that the local Police duly invesfigated the matter on the b"is of the F.I.R. and submitted final report in which it was foun,] that the shortage of cash was nowhere clearly written in the relevant bank's register and during the time of investigation the exhibited notes amounting to Rs. 14,100/- could not bc produced by the complainant nor the bundles from, which the notes were alleged to have been taken out were produced. Tt was also found that the written letter of the accused persons were taken under false nretcxt by the complainant much later. On receipl of the final report the Chief Judicial Magistrate discharced the accused persons including the concerned work- man. Tt is further submitted 'hat had there been a genuine case the Bank could have filed protest petition, but as the case was no true no aclion was taken bv the Bank.

4. The further case of the concerned Wuirkimn is that the management based their case on an allerred letter dated 22nd September, 1976 addressed to the Manager by the concerned workman and Sri Dayal but the said letter h si.sr-icious and was manufactured under forced durefcs and remntation for the purpose of (he case. The concerned workman has denied the genuineness of the said Iotter.

5. According to the workman he never withdraw anv amount from the Bank nor he used anv amount for his personal purpose, nor he wrote any such

6, It is submitted that no chargeshect was ever drawn against the concerned workman nor any departmental pro- ceeding was held against him and the order of termination is illegal and in violation of Section 25F of the Industrial Disputes Act.

7, It is however stated that the Bank sent a letter dated 1st November, 1978 to the concerned workman whereby the Bank changed its stand and directed the concerned workman to take an amount of Rs. 36000/- and odd ns provided U/s 25F of the I D. Act. The said amount was however accepted by the concerned workman but under protest. Tt is also stated that any subsequent action of the management cannot make the initial order of termination legal and valid and as the said order terminating the ser- vices of the concerned workman is illegal and against the principles of natural justice, he is entitled to r-e reinstated with full back wages.

8. According to the management, however, the concerned workman until termination of his services was working as Head Cashier at Ramgarh Branch, Tho duties of the Head Cashier arc to handle bank cash and he is in charge of the entire cash of the bank. The keys of the Safe where the money is kept are also ontrusted to the Head Cashier and the Accountant and as per practice the cash is to be handled by the Head Cashier ^nd the Accountant. It is stated that on 22nd September, 1976 Shri Mehrotra tho Agent of the Bank on verification detected a shortage of 141 currency notes of Rs, 100/- each in 7 bundles and he immediately made enquiry from the concerned workman Sri Rai & Sri B. K. Dayal, antj both of them in writing dated 22nd September, 1976 admitted that they had drawn the amount for their personal needs and on the same day both of them paid the aforesaid sum to the, b,ink and expressed their regret. It is submitted that in view of the said circumstances the services of tho concerned workman was terminated on 18 th Decem- ber 197S on the ground nf loss of confidence and the said termination was a terminalion simpliciter. It is stated that the post held by the concerned workman was of trust and confidence and the very admission of hie concerned workman showed that he was guilty and therefore his services were terminated. Tt is submitted that the order terminating tho services of the concerned workman is legal and valid and after the said termination the management prepared a state- ment of account payable to the concerned workman and the said statement of account along with pav order for Rs. 36000/- and odd wa, sent to the concerned workman but it wa,, returned undelivered. Thereafter the said pay order was- made over to the concerned workman in person and he accepted The same in full and final settlement of his claim. It is submitted that after accepting the compen^ion for termination Shri Rai is stopped from challenging his termina- tion,

"

9 On the above ground it is prayed that the Reference

be decided in favour of the management.

10. The point for consideration is as to whether the nction of the management in terminating the services of the concerned workman with effect from 18th December 1976 emitted ] u s t i f i c d- If n o t. ^ w"at relief is the workman

H. From u perural of the order of Reference it will appear (hat the nction of the management dated 18th Dr-cem- Dcr, 1976 has been challenged and it is to be seen whether the sa,d order of termination on around of 1MS of conn' dence ,s va id or not. it cannot he denied that tho services of an employee can be terminated by the management on the ground of less of confidence, Tt also c a n n™

denied that the post held by Sri Rai was J post of :mst and confidence.

12. It is not denied that the key of the Safe used to re- main with the Head Cashier viz. the concerned workman and the Accountant. Ai per practice, two kevs are main- tained for the Safe, one of which remained with the Accoun- tant and the other with the Head Cashier. Whenever the head cashier goes on leave or is absent due to somci other reasons the key is made over to the next senior man. When the Bank opens both the keys arei applied by the Accoun- tant as also by the head cashier and then the Safe is opened. After the close of the business cash is counted and the initial of the counting clerk is put on a slip attached with each bundle certifying the actual amount found in each bundle. Thereafter the bundles arc kept in the Safe and the Safe is closed by both the keys applied by the Accountant as also the Cashier, The above has been stated by the management witnesses a nd has not been denied.

12, The question first to be determined is as to whether there was plausible evidence before the management to prove loss of confidence against the concerned workman. To prove this fact the management has examined Shri S. R. Mchrotra, MW-1. Sri A. K. Mitra, Accountant MW-3. They have stated that during the verification on 22-9-76 as shortage of Rs. 14,100 was detected in 7 bundles of 100 rupee denomi- nation notes. The amount was later on paid on the same day by the concerned workman as also by Sri B. K. Dayai the Cashie:. These two witnesses have also slated that both the clerks viz. Sri Rai and Sri Dayal also £avo a letter to the Manager on (he same day confessing their guilt and making over the amount to the Manager. The concerned workman however examined himself as WW-1 and he has stated that during (he relevant period he was deputed to take Shri Mehrotra in town for introducing him to customers and that he had also been to Hazaribagh in a bank case and the key lemained in custody of Sri B. K. Dayal, Cashier to ht.ndle the cash. It is also stated bv him that he never confessed his Ruilt and the letter on which reliance has been placed is a concocted one and it was obtained subsequently under t'uress and temptation. The workman has also exa- mined Sii D'Souza the then Manager and Aaent of the Bank and he has stated that during the relevent period (he key was with Sri Dayal as the concerned woikman had been sent by him to Hazaribagh in connection with some case. According to him when the cash is counted and verified the cash clerk puts his initial on it and it is the cash clerk who is responsible for any shortage of cash. A? regards the confession letter it is stated hy him that the shortage was made over by Sri Dayal and the name of the concerned workman was written on it as a witness only,

13. From the above evidence it will appear that the rmmacement solely relied on the alleged confessional letter dated 22-9-76 purported to have been written bv the con- cerned workman as also B. K. Dayal, cash clerk (since deceased). According to the management this letter alone proves that the concerned workman hod H hand in the shor- age anj s" he loct confidence of (he Bank and on that ground his sci vices were terminated from the date as mentioned in the termination letter.

14. It is therefore to be seeen as to whether any reliance can he placed on the said letter or not, The original of (he said letter has not been filed in this case nor any reason has assigned Hs to why the original has not been filed and what hajiDencd with the original. Instead the management has file'1 a enrbon copy of the said letter which has been marked Fxt. M-4 and has been proved by MW-1 Sri MVlirotrn Sri Mehiotra cannot say as to who wrote the contents of Fxt. M-4. Their is no evidence of the management to the effect that the suid letter was prepared in two copies one of which wns the original and the other is* a carbon copy. Tn fact there was no necessity at all of filing two copies of any such letter and there was no necessity of preparing any cirbon copv of the same. In Ext. M-4 which is n carbon cony it is stated that after the shortage was Toiind enquiry w;>s made both from Sri Rai and Daval and re.-ilkinp (he seriousness of the situation bolh of them made good the loss at 7 pm, on that verv div. It is further stated that (he flmniipt van withdrawn bv them foi heir pe.-sonal rifeds According to the concerned workman it is not the origiml lei'i*i pnri his signatuie had been obtained subsequent!/ on a letter wliich was an original one. According to him Ext.

M-4 is not that letter. In view of the above fact the very authenticy or genuineness of Ext. M-4 is doubtful. The management ought to have filed the original Idler if any in which such confession had been made by the concerned wo'kman and that letter would havo been conclusive proof to support the case of loss of confidence on the concerned workman. Tf the genuineness of Ext, M-4 become suspicious then there is no evidence against the concerned workman to show that the management had lost confidence on the con- cerned workman which resulted in the termination of his soivice.

15, The genuineness of Ext. M-4 becomes all the more suspicious when we consider another letter of the manage- ment, Ext. W-2 a letter written by Sri D'Souza on the very d'lte of shortage to the Regional Manager, Bank of Baroda. In this letter the information due to the above shortage was given to the higher authorities and the Manager wrote that on the same bundles in which shortage was found, on the slips attached on those bundles, the initial of in B. K. Dayal the cash clerk was found. This clearly indicate that (hose notes wcic counted by Sri B. K. D-aya] and the slips on the bundles bore the signature of B. K. Dayal only. It is in evidence cf management witnesses that after counting slips cue attached on each bundle and the clerk counting the amoun; puts his initial on it. Now if the concerned work- man Sii Rai would have counted the amount then hie initial must have appeared on the slips attached with the bundles. This fact also shows that during the relevant period the key was with B. K. Dayal as Sri Rai hud been to Haziribagh and wa< busy in other duties assigned to him including the duty of taking the new Agent to the customers for introduc- tion The letter Ext. W-2 no doubt shows that the shortage y.as made good by B. K, Dayal and Sri S. K, Rai, It may km be possible in order to avoid any further complication both of them made good the cash but this cannot go to show that if was Sri Rai who had misappropriated the said amount, F-xt. W-2 thus makes the alleged confession in Fxt M-4 all the more suspicious If any letter confessing the guilt would have been made then this fact must also have been men- tioned in Fxl. W-2 which was sent to the higher authorities immediately.

16. Though there was a shortage of Rs. 1400O and odd but it is stranjie that F.I.R. (Ext. W 1) for the first time was sent to the Officer-in-Charge, Ramgaih Cantonment Police Station rs late as on 28-12-76 that is after a lapse of about three months. It is not understandable nor it is explained as to why such a long delay was made by the Bank in lodg- ing information before tho Police, The Police after investi- gation submitted final report Ext. W-3 which was recopted by the Chief Judicial Magistrate vide his order-sheet Ext. W-4. The Police after giving the details of the investiga- tion opined that it was a case of mistake of fact and hence final report was being submitted.

17. All these facts clearly indicate that in fact there was no ohusible evidence before the management to prove loss of confidence against the concerned workman. The very fact that the original of Ext. M-4 has been wilh-heki by the management shows that there was something fishy in the matter and the original if produced would have gone against the case of the management hence the original letter was not produced. It was not very difficult for the management to prepare a carbon copy making certain lecitals against the concerned workman. Ext. M-4 is thus a suspicious docu- ment and no reliance can be "laced on it.

18. Considering tho evidence on record, I hold that theie was no plausible evidence before the management to prove the loss of confidence against the concerned workman.

19. It is next to be seen as to whether the order of ter- mination is in accordance with law or not. The termina- tion letter Ext. M-1 dafed 18-12-76 shows that the bank had decided to terminate the services of the concerned workman with immediate effect with three months pay an(| allowance in lieu of notice for which a crossed pay order of Rs. 3000 and odd was being enclosed along with the termination letter. Acco.ding to the workman however the said ter, mination letter h against the movisions of Section 25F of tho Industrial Disputes Act. ft is submitted that the said order in fact amounted to retrenchment and the piovisions

of Section 25F should have been complied with before pass- ing such an order. i

20. As stated earlier the present reference is with regard to the termination letter dated 18-12-76 and it is to be seen as to whether the said letter is in uccordar/ce with law. Ac- cording to the management however it is not a case of retrenchment at all but it is, a case of termination sim- pliciter for losi of confidence. It is therefore to b* seen as to whether termination for loss of confidence amounts tu retrenchment or not. Section 2(oo) of the T. D. Act has defined the word 'retrenchment' antf it reads as follows :

"(oo) "retrenchment" means the termination by the employer of the service of a workman for any re- ason whatsoever otherwise than as a punishment inflicted by way of disciplinary action, but does not include—

fa) voluntary retirement of the workman; or

(b) retirement of the workman on reaching the age of superannuation if the contract of employment between the employer and the workman con- cerned contains n stipulation in that behalf; or (c) termination of the service of a workman on the cround of continued ill-health.

any sin of commission and omission on the part of the work- man. This. Court is bound by tho principles laid down by the Supreme Court as also by tho Patna High Court and the principles enunciated by the Bombay High Court can- not be given any preference. The learned Advocate of tho management has also cited the ruling reported in A.I.R. 1982 S, C. page 673 and 1982 I.F.L.R. page 71 but the principles, laid down in tho'.o rulings are not applicable to ' the facts of the present case. ,

22. Relying on the principles laid down by the Supremo Court as also the Patna High Court it must bei held that the present case is a case rf retrenchment and hence it is to be seen as to whether before passing tho termination order the provisions of Section 25F of the I. D, Act was complied with or not,

23. The termination iettei Est. Ml would show that along with this letter only a crossed pay ord?r for three months pay was tendered to the concerned workman. No compensation was ordered to be paid, as provided under Sub-Section (b) of Section 25F nor any notice WHS served on the appropriate government undftj- Sub-Section 3. It Is also very doubtful whether even three months notice pay was offered or paid to the concerned workman or not. MW-1 Sri Mchrotra has stated in his chief tint the letter of termination could not be served on the concerned work- man personally as he was on leave. According to him it was served on him by registered post and a '"•opy of tho letter was sent under certificate of posting. In cross-exami- nation it is admitted by, him that the postal acknowledgement has not been filwd in this case. He has further stated, that the letter sent by registered post was returned unserved. Ho has further stated that the copy of the letter terminating the scrvcie was also sent under certificate of posting. Further ho has stated Hint tho pay order of Rs. 3000 and Odd re- presenting tho notic© pay for three months was sent by re- gistered post but returned unserved and along with tho letter under certificate of posting no such payment order was sent. Thus it clearly indicates that though the payment order along with the termination letter was purported to have been sent by registered post but it was returned unserved. It is not the case of the management that the workman refused to take delivery of the registered letter. Further though it be conceded for the shake of argument that three months, notice pay was tendered to the workman by regd. post still the other compensation as provided under Soction 25F was not complied with and non-compliance of the 8ald provision makes the termination order illegal nnd invalid.
