If not, what relief the above aggrieved workers are entitled to from the above management/employer?

2. Whether resorting to stike by the workers of M/s Indo Farm Equipment Ltd., EPIP, Phase-II, Village Thana, Baddi, District Solan, w.e.f. 8-12-2013 on account of opposing the transfer orders of six workmen (as mentioned in issue no.1 above) and against the termination of other six workers by the employer/general manager, HRD M/s Indo Farm Equipment Ltd., EPIP, Phase-II, Village Thana, Baddi District Solan, is legal and justified? If yes, what monetary and other service benefits the concerned workers are entitled to from the above employer and management and if not, legal and justified, its effects?"

It is the averred case of the petitioner union that the petitioner workmen namely Tarsem Lal, Dinesh Kumar and one Shri Sohan Singh who were working with the respondents as mechanics and were the confirmed employees of the respondent were transferred during the pendency of the conciliation proceedings before the Labour-Conciliation Officer, Baddi and that too without any express permission from him. That the action of the respondent was stated to be brazenly in breach of section 33 (1) (a&b) of the Act (hereinafter to be referred as Act).

3. The said act of the respondent was stated to be in violation of the settlement inter se parties, entered as far back as 19-4-2011. The copy of the settlement having been annexed as P-1. The settlement inter-alia espoused the working conditions of the labour, their working hours and categorization in respect of grades including incentives to be offered to them. When the union requested to implement the said settlement vide letter dated 23-09-2013, the respondent started terminating and transferring workmen. The respondent stopped abiding by the settlement. The management even requested to categorize the workers as per the settlement. The members of the union, particularly the office bearers who had raised their voice against the unlawful acts of the respondent were terminated and transferred.

4. Despite repeated requests when the respondent failed to respond the union had to issue a notice for strike. Resultantly the management preferred to talk with the union and asked it to defer the strike till Dusshera. Despite making a bid for conciliation nothing fruitful happened and eventually the union served a notice dated 7-12-2013 expressing their desire to strike work.

5. It is further the case of the union that since the respondent did not respect the settlement even during the course of conciliation. It is also their case that the Labour Commissioner made a pre-mature reference for adjudication rather them ordering implementation of the settlement which had already been arrived inter-se the parties, three years back. The strike was prohibited, however, no action was initiated for implementing the settlement. Rather, the respondent was given free hand to victimize the workmen. The workers were transferred to different States, which is stated to be against the Certified Standing Orders of the company itself.

6. It is also the contention of the petitioner union that the order of reference was pre- mature and the prohibition of strike by the union was also illegal. Moreover, the entire "industrial dispute" has not been referred to this Court. It is prayed that the strike be declared legal and justified in view of the notice dated 23-9-2013.

7. The petitioner union prays that the illegal transfer orders of S/Shri Tarsem Lal, Dinesh Kumar and Sohan Singh may be set aside and quashed and their termination dated 26-2-2014 be also quashed and set aside and they be reinstated in service along-with full back-wages. It is also prayed that the strike resorted by the union w.e.f. 8-12-2013 for implementation of the settlement dated 19-4-2011 be declared Begal and justified and the wages of the period the workmen were on the strike be awarded to the workmen.

8. While contesting the claim the respondents have inter-alia raised preliminary objections vis-a-vis concealment of material facts, resjudicata and the petitioner being estopped in law from raising the dispute.

9. It is also the contention of the respondent that the services of the workmen has still not been terminated and one of them namely Dinesh Kumar is absenting from duties as such they are estopped from raising such plea. It is further the contention of the respondent management that the worker union had preferred CWP No. 930 of 2014 before the Hon'ble High Court of H.P. which stands withdrawn unconditionally by apprising the Court that they have amicably settled the dispute outside the Court.

10. On merits, the factum of transfer is not disputed. As per the respondent the terms and conditions reflected in the appointment letter clearly shows that the management could transfer the workmen to any other unit/division/department or its associate companies, in any part of the country. As per the respondent even the Certified Standing Orders (Clause-15) also provides that a workmen can be transferred to any other unit.

11. As per the respondent Dinesh Kumar was transferred in exigency of service to Lucknow. However, he refused to receive the transfer letter, consequently the same was sent on his permanent address. Despite repeated opportunities he failed to join the duties and as a sequel he was chargesheeted on 12-11-2013. He had been asked to file the reply, but on the contrary, he had filed a complaint before the Labour Officer. One Shri Aseem Sharma was appointed as an independent enquiry officer. After the completion of enquiry the enquiry report had also been sent on his permanent address and considering the same and the past conduct of the workman he was terminated vide letter dated 6-4-2014 and a sum of `6,856/- was also sent to him on his permanent address.

12. It is further the case of the respondent that during this period a settlement was arrived between the management and the workers and consequently Dinesh Kumar had been retransferred to the nearest place i.e. Kuruksehtra in Haryana. He however requested for cancelation of his transfer and expressed his inability to rejoin at Kuruksehtra too. Despite letters dated 5-8-2014, 9-9-2014 and 25-9-2014, he failed to join at Kuruksehtra. The services of the said Dinesh Kumar have not been terminated but he was absenting from his duties without any intimation.

13. It is further admitted that the settlement dated 19-4-2011 was arrived inter se the parties but it is denied that the said settlement was not being implemented. It is on the conrary averred that the petitioner union has unconditionally withdrawn the CWP No. 930 of 2014 pending before the Hon'ble High Court by apprising the Court that they have amicably settled the dispute outside the Court.

15. While filing rejoinder, the petitioner controverted the averments in the reply filed by respondent and further reiterated those in the statement of claim.

16. I notice that on 9-11-2016, the following issues came to be framed by my Learned Predecessor:

1. Whether transfer of the six workers from respondent company is illegal and unjustified as alleged? . .OPP.

2. If issue No.1 is proved in affirmative, to what relief and other serive benefits the concerned workers are entitled to? . .OPP.

3. Whether resorting to strike by the workers of respondent company w.e.f. 8-12-2013 on account of opposing the transfer orders of six workmen and against the termination of other six workers by the respondent is illegal and unjustified as alleged? . .OPP.

4. Whether the claim petition is hit by the principle of resjudicata, as alleged? . .OPR.

5. Whether the petitioner union is estopped on account of its own acts, deed and conduct to raise the issue in the present petition? . .OPR.

6. Relief.

17. Having considered the pleadings, evidence and other attendant material placed on record, my findings on the issued framed are thus :—

Issue No. 1 : No.

Issue No. 2 : Not entitled to any relief

Issue No. 3 : Issue has become redundant

Issue No. 4 : -do-

Issue No. 5 : Yes

Relief : Reference is dismissed per operative part of award.

Reasons for Findings

Issues No. 1 & 2 :

18. The issue in question has been rendered otiose as the reference pertaining to the transfers/terminations have been decided separately vide reference No. 13 of 2015, vis-a-vis Tarsem Lal by this Tribunal on 18-4-2018 and so have the references relating to Dinesh Kumar and Sohan Singh being reference No. 25/2016 and 36/2015 respectively, stands disposed off by this Tribunal on 27-8-2020. The issues have thus literally become redundant as, they stands answered by way of separate references, preferred individually by the workmen. The issues are thus disposed off as having become redundant.

19. All these issues being correlated and intermilngle are being taken up together for decision.

20. At the very out-set it would be opposite to point out that the appropriate government issued two notifications of the even date i.e. 9th of January, 2014 and strangely both bear the same endorsement No. being 11-2/93 (Lab.) ID/2013/14 Baddi.

21. Which of the two references have been referred is difficult to comprehend. One of them has been placed on record as Annexure P-4.

22. Be is as it may. In one of the reference sent to this Court, the second issue pertained to the issue relating to the strike by workers, w.e.f. 8-12-2013, that too, on account of opposing the transfer orders and the termination of the six workers.

23. The respondents have however, raised a preliminary objection that the petitioner union had preferred a writ petition before the Hon'ble High Court vide CWP No. 930 of 2014 espousing the same cause and had unconditionally withdrawn the said petition by apprising the Hon'ble High Court that they have amicably settled the dispute outside the Court.

24. During the course of proceedings the parties were directed to place on record the copy of the Writ Petition so moved before the Hon'ble High Court, which was placed on record on 3-11-2020. The perusal of the writ petition shows that the petitioner union had sought that the order dated 9th of January, 2014 passed by the respondent No. 2 i.e. the Labour Commissioner may kindly be quashed and set aside. The cause admittedly pertained to the transfer/termination of the workmen and the prohibition of strike ordered by the Labour Commissioner. Admittedly, the said writ petition was withdrawn on 6-5-2014 and it was stated by the Learned Counsel for the petitioner union that the parties have amicably settled the dispute out-side the Court and the Writ Petition was dismissed as withdrawn, that too unconditionally, as is clear from the order dated 6-5-2014 placed on record vide Ex. RW-1/H.

25. That being the factual position nothing more is required to be decided as the petitioner union is estopped from raising the issue yet again on the same cause.

26. Even otherwise, the appropriate government itself was not clear and categoric as to what is the dispute which is required to by decided by this Court as is amply clear from the two self-contradictory notifications issued by the appropriate government, one being the reference and other being Annexure P-4 on record. It is thus held that petitioner union is estopped from agitating the dispute any further having unconditionally withdrawn the Writ Petition and that too on the basis of some amicable settlement having already been arrived in inter se the parties. The issues are thus decided accordingly.

Relief :

For the foregoing reasons discussed hereinabove supra, the reference is dismissed. There shall be no orders as to costs. Let a copy of this award be sent to the appropriate government for publication in the official gazette. File, after completion, be consigned to reocrds.

Announced in the open Court today this 20th day of January, 2021.

Ref. 1 of 2020 M/s Himachal Futuristic Ltd. V/s G|M. Himachal Mazeoor Sangh HPCL. 22-02-2021 Present: Sh. J.C. Bhardwaj, AR for petitioner. Sh. Vikas Chauhan, Ld. Csl. for respondent.

The Ld. Csl. for the petitioner , which happens to the management the particular case, has submitted that he does not intend to press the reference any further. In his behalf even a formal application has been filed by the petitioner management .

The perusal of the reference makes an interesting reading. Apparently the management had sought to raise certain demands with respect to the functioning of the workers union and that to by a purported demand charter dated 13-05-2019. How, and under what circumstances the "appropriate governments send this reference for adjudication to this court is difficult to fathom. To say the least it should not have been referred to this court in the first instance. Be it as it may. However, seeing to the facts that the petitioner management itself does not intend to press the reference , which otherwise does not maintainable, the refercne is thus ordered to be dismissed as956 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 14 जून, 2021/24 ज्येष्ठ, 1943 not beeing maintainable. The petitioner management will however be, at liberty to take appropriate steps, as per law, if so advised. The reference is dismissed accordingly.
