It is asserted that after rendering seven years and five months of service under the respondent no.1/company the petitioner was issued another letter by respondent No. 2/company working under respondent no.1 which concern is situated at Dharamshala namely Hydro Power Ltd. or vice-versa. The petitioner was transferred from one location to this location. It is asserted that the respondent No. 2 had issued regularization service letter vide REF/IHPPL?007/15 dated 1-4-2015 to the petitioner as a driver and as such he was designated as Driver by the respondent no.2 and petitioner was to be paid total monthly salary/wages by respondent no.2. The salary was fixed to be paid Rs.11000/- per month and vide this letter the petitioner was directed to report to Mr. P.V. Raman Raju at Indira Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd. at site village Lunta (Sokni Da Kot Panchayat, P.O. Khaniyara, Tehsil Dharamshala, District Kangra, H.P. After that petitioner continued to work as driver at Sokni Da Kot and on 1-10-2016 respondent no. 2 again issued transfer orders dated 1-10-2016 to petitioner directing and transferring the services of petitioner from this company/project to concern/company of respondent no.1 and it was mentioned in the transfer order dated 1-10-2016 that the salary and other allowances etc. of the petitioner shall be paid from Dharamshala Hydro Power Ltd accounts. Thereafter on receipt of transfer order the petitioner continued to work as a driver w.e.f. 1-10-2016 upto 26-11-2018 but all of sudden respondent no.2 issued notice dated 26-11-2018 to petitioner regarding termination of the services of petitioner w.e.f. 31-12-2018 without any rhyme or reason. Neither the petitioner was served one month's notice nor any gratuity etc. and other EPF amounts due to the petitioner were paid which act of the respondents especially respondent no.1 was against the spirit of labour law. It is asserted that no reason was assigned to petitioner with regard to his performance of duties as driver efficiently and sincerely as well as act of misconduct during his service rendered under the respondents. It is asserted that during whole service career rendered by petitioner no single or oral warning, censure, reprimand etc. were conveyed to petitioner. Despite that the respondent no.1 had terminated the services of petitioner suo moto without assigning any reason. It is alleged that the junior drivers were appointed by respondent no.1 and the petitioner was ousted from service. It is alleged that formula of 'first come will go last and last come will go first" was not adopted by the respondent no.1 at all. The act of the respondents was uncalled for beyond any reasons or rhyme especially when the petitioner rendered unblemished service of driver under respondents right from 1-11-2006 till 31st December, 2018. It is asserted that the services of petitioner were terminated without serving any one month's notice or one month's wages in lieu thereof.

REASONS FOR FINDINGS
Issues No. 1 and 2
9. Both these issues are taken up together for the purpose of adjudication.
10. This direct claim has been filed by the petitioner against respondent no.1 Sanpras Corporate Capital, No. 2 Indira Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd. Dharamshala and Tissa Hydro Power Project Pvt. Ltd. Dharamshala. The documents Ext. P5 produced by the petitioner is the appointment order (permanent) made in favour of the petitioner from Dharamhala Hydro Power Ltd. dated 1-11-2006. Mark-A is appointment order made by Indra Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt.
3078 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948Ltd. in favour of the petitioner dated 25-3-2014. Ext. P6 is the order regarding regularization of the services of petitioner dated 1-4-2015 made by Indra Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd. Vide Ext. P7 dated 1-10-2016 the services of petitioner were transferred by Indra Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd. to Dharamshala Hydro Power Ltd. Ext. P8 is the salary certificate issued by Indra Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd. certifying that the petitioner is working in the organization since April, 2004. Finally on 26-11-2018 vide Ext. P9 the Indira Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd. had sent a final termination notice to the petitioner on account of financial distress. The above documents reveal that petitioner was working with respondent no.1 and respondent no. 2 since the year 2004 and respondent 1 as well as respondent no. 2 are practically same entities and common employer of the petitioner.
11. Petitioner has alleged his illegal termination without compliance with the mandatory provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. He has admitted receiving the termination notice and also the fact that the similar notices were received by other workers working in Indra Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd.. He denied receiving the compensation of Rs. 52,771/-and also that the said amount was deposited in his account.
12. PW2 Shri Naresh Kumar, Labour Inspector has admitted that neither the appointment letter nor termination letter of the petitioner has been issued by the respondent no.3. Pertinent to mention here that respondents no.1 and 2 have failed to appear before this court and were proceeded ex parte during the proceedings. PW2 Shri Naresh Kumar has also admitted that as per his knowledge respondent no.2 has acquired by Manikaran Hydro Power. He is however unsure that respondent no.3 has no concerned with acquisition and employee carry forward. Manikaran Hydro Power has not been impleaded as party by the petitioner in this case.
13. RW1 Shri N V Prudhvi Raju Mudunuri has admitted that he has worked in Dharamshala Hydro Power Project from 2009 to 2021. He admits that site Manji-1 and Manji-II of the above project has been acquired by TISSA Hydro (respondent no. 3). He asserts that this acquisition was by way of auction. He also admits that the workers of Dharamshala Hydro Power Project who were working in Manji-I and Manji-II are still working in TISSA Hydro Power Project. The above statements do establish that sites belonging to respondent no. 1 Dharamshala Hydro Power Project were acquired by respondent no. 3 but this fact itself does not explicitly show any proof of transfer of liability of workmen who have been terminated by respondent no.1 and respondent no.2.
14. It is however important to peruse the documents of final settlement Mark-A and copy of bank statement Mark-B, copy of application dated 1-8-2015 Mark-C and copy of debit voucher dated 27-8-2018 Mark-D. Petitioner in his cross-examination has denied that he received any compensation amount in his account but above documents reflect otherwise. Learned Counsel for the petitioner has argued that documents mentioned above are not proved as per law by the respondents. These documents were tendered in examination-in-chief of RW1 Shri NV Prudhvi Raju Mudunuri and were not controverted by the learned counsel for the petitioner in his cross- examination. No suggestion was made to the effect that no amount has been deposited in the account of petitioner and the copy of bank statement produced by respondent does not belong to the petitioner. No question has been posed regarding authenticity of above mentioned documents by the petitioner. The above documents depict the payment of compensation to the petitioner under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act,1947 and also final withdrawal of gratuity at the behest of the petitioner. The claim of the petitioner is with regard his termination without following due process under the Industrial Disputes Act. Respondent no. 3 has produced the document which shift balance of probability in favour of the respondents. No doubt respondents no.1 and 2 had not appeared to present their case however the documents regarding payment of compensation, copy of bank statement and vouchers regarding withdrawal of gratuity amount do establish a case in favour3079 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 of the respondents. Petitioner has failed to controvert the above documents nor he has produced copy of his bank statement in order to controvert the documents produced by the respondents. Mere denial by the petitioner in his statement that he had not received compensation amount is not sufficient to prove the non compliance of mandatory provisions by the respondents. In the light of above oral and documentary evidence, it cannot be held that termination of the services of petitioner w.e.f. 26-11-2018 by the respondents was in violation of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Consequently petitioner is not entitled for the relief as claimed by him. Hence issues no.1 and 2 are decided in the favour of respondents and against the petitioner.
Issues No. 3,4,5,6,7&8
15. The onus of proving these issues was on the respondents. Petitioner in his deposition has clearly proved the documents regarding his employment with Dharamshala Hydro Power and Indra Priyadarshini Hydro Power Pvt. Ltd.. There is no document connecting the liability of the above mentioned respondents and respondent no.3. However the respondent no. 3 has produced the documents regarding full and final settlement of the petitioner and fact that petitioner has already claimed the said amount. In these circumstance present claim is not maintainable and petitioner has no enforceable cause of action and locus standi to file the present claim and petitioner having received full and final settlement had not approached the court with clean hands and he is not entitled for any discretion relief. All the issues are decided in the favour of respondents and against the petitioner.
RELIEF
16. In view of my discussion on the issues no. 1 to 8 above, the claim made on behalf of the petitioner is not maintainable and the same is dismissed. Parties are left to bear their costs. Parties are left to bear their costs.
17. The reference is answered in aforesaid terms. A copy of this Award be sent to the appropriate Government for publication in the official gazette. File after due completion be consigned to the Record Room.
Announced in the open Court today, this 19th day of February, 2026.

If not, what amount of back wages, seniority, past service benefits and compensation the above worker is entitled to from the above employers/management?"
2. The brief facts as stated in the claim petition are that petitioner was working with respondents Factory named as Tidal Laboratories Private Limited, Goalthai, District Bilaspur, as Electrician since 2.7.2018 continuously upto the date of illegal termination 18.7.2020 vide letter dated 9th July, 2020 and he (petitioner) was drawing wages @Rs. 14,500/- per month. It is asserted that there were certain genuine demands of workmen working with the respondents factory and just to fulfil the demands as well as redressal of grievances of the workmen, the petitioner along-with other co-workers has formed a branch of Himachal Pradesh Industrial Workers Union bearing registration no. 155, HO Saproon Solan, H.P. Branch Tidal Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. Workers Union Golthai, tehsil Sri Naina Devi, District Bilaspur, H.P. affiliated with AITUC and the meeting of general body meeting of workmen was held on 11th March, 2019 and the petitioner was elected as Branch President, Mr. Pradeep Kumar, Branch Senior Vice President and Shri Virender Singh was elected as Secretary of the above said union. It is asserted that the after formation of union demand notice under Section 2K of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was served upon the respondents on 25-3-2019 regarding demands of the workmen of the factory raised by the union i.e. categorization of workmen, 25% increase in wages of workmen, implementation of provisions of EPF Act, 1952 and ESI Act, 1948, common canteen functioning, issue of I-Cards to all workmen, implementation of Model Standing Orders/Act, 1946 till the certification of the Standing Orders of the factory, 20% HRA, 10% conveyance allowance, 10% uniform allowance and implementation of rules and regulation meant for the contract labour. On the aforesaid demand notice conciliation proceedings were held before the Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer which were attended by the petitioner along-with other office bearers of the union but no amicable settlement could be arrived during the conciliation proceedings and accordingly the Conciliation Officer submitted failure report to Labour Commissioner Himachal Pradesh and the appropriate government sent a reference to this court for adjudication vide notification dated 13-5-2020 which was registered as Reference No. 66/2020 and the same is pending before this court. It is alleged that after submission of3081 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 demands the respondents became vindictive/prejudiced towards the petitioner and president as well as branch secretary of the union and started repressive measures and threatened the petitioner and Shri Pradeep Kumar, Vice President and Sh.

It is alleged that the petitioner and other representatives of the union orally pointed out that factory management had violated the provisions of Minimum Wages Act and EPF Act as the management had not paid minimum wages to the workmen employed in the factory in semi-skilled, skilled and highly skilled categories as well as their EPF deduction was also not made since 2015 to 2018 however in some cases the EFP deduction was made on lower rate of wages instead of actual wages being drawn by the workmen. It is asserted that Labour Inspector and Labour Officer carried out inspection of the factory and they found irregularities and violation of payment of minimum wages and accordingly the Labour Inspector had filed the case before the Judicial Magistrate, Bilaspur bearing registration No. 15/2020 titled as State of H.P. through Labour Inspector vs. M/s Tidal Laboratories Pvt.

It is asserted that apart from the violation of EPF Act, 1952 the petitioner and Vice President of union had made written complaint to the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner who had initiated inquiry which is still in progress and RPFC has imposed fine of 5000/- on the respondent for non production of record which is evident from the copy of proceedings dated 6-2-2020 and 2-6-2021. It is asserted that the branch senior president Sh. Pardeep petitioner had also made complaint to the Chief Minister, H.P. on Chief Minister Help Line (online) bearing complaint no.90743 dated 24-10-2019 with regard to non payment/short payment of wages, overtime, issue of I-Cards, weekly off etc. against the respondent. It is alleged that respondent management terminated the services of contract workers and also curtailed the allowances being paid to the factory workmen. The union had again submitted another demand notice dated 6.11.2019 to the respondent management under Section 2K of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and copy of same was sent to the appropriate authorities i.e. Labour Commissioner, H.P., Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer, Bilaspur, Deputy Commissioner, Bilaspur, Superintendent of Police, Bilaspur and SDM, Sri Naina Devi Ji at Swarghat etc. and in accordance with this demand notice the Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer had started conciliation on the intervention of SDM, Shri Naina Devi Ji, Sawarghat. On 23-3-2020 the Central Government had declared complete lockdown and put curfew throughout the country due to Covid-19 pandemic for period of one month and same was further extended from time to time by the Government however due to this reason the petitioner could not attend duties w.e.f. 24-3-2020 to 7-5-2020 but no wages were paid by the respondent for the above said period. On 17.5.2020 petitioner received verbal message from respondent that he should come to office on 18.5.2020 and collect covid-19 pass for performing duty in the factory accordingly petitioner went to factory on 18.5.2020 but respondents did not allow him to enter the gate of factory and refused to issue covid-19 pass. On 18-5-2020 there was no proper cleaning and sanitization in the factory where the workers were working. Petitioner along-with other co-workmen had given a written letter to respondent management regarding Covid-19 pandemic and instructions issued by the Government. It is asserted that when workmen of the factory and union of workmen had raised demand for releasing wages of the workmen for lock down period of Covid-19 pandemic however petitioner on behalf of union asked respondent no.2 for release the same in accordance with the instruction of the Government of India but of no avail. It is asserted that the petitioner highlighted the genuine grievances of workmen working with the respondent through union but due to this reason respondents become more vindictive and revengeful towards the petitioner as well as other principle office bearers of the union. On 1-6-2020 petitioner again went to the factory for resuming his duty at 9AM but respondent no.2 had refused to accept his joining and did not allow him to enter the gate of the factory. It is alleged that respondent management had served show cause notice dated 1-6-2020 upon the petitioner through registered post. It is asserted that show cause notice was duly replied by the petitioner vide letter dated 10-6-2020. It is asserted that petitioner had written a letter dated 13-6-2020 to respondent asking the reason for termination of services/not allowing him to perform his duty which was replied by respondent vide letter dated 25-6-2020. The3082 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 respondent had served another show cause notice dated 18-6-2020 which was also replied by the petitioner vide letter dated 13-7-2020. Thereafter respondent no. 2 wrote a letter on 9th July, 2020 to the petitioner wherein respondent asked the petitioner to submit formal resignation not later than 15-7-2020 and if company did not receive any formal resignation letter before 17-7-2020 consider this letter as letter of termination w.e.f. 18-7-2020. It is alleged that termination of the services of petitioner w.e.f. 18-7-2020 by respondent no.2 was illegal and unjustified. After illegal termination of petitioner he has raised industrial dispute by way of serving demand notice dated 9-9-2020 upon the respondent and copy of the same was forwarded to Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer Bilaspur but no amicable settlement could be arrived during the conciliation proceeding. It is alleged that the charges/allegations mentioned in show cause notices dated 1-6-2020, 2-6-2020, 18-6-2020 and 19-6-2020 were wrong, fabricated, baseless and coupled with oblique/ulterior motive and ill intention and vindictive attitude just to harass and curb down the trade union activities of petitioner being office bearer of the registered trade union. No opportunity of defense and personal hearing was provided/afforded to the petitioner and as such the action of respondent terminating the service of petitioner was against the principles of natural justice, illegal, unjustified and is in violation of the provisions of Model Standing Orders and Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution of India. It is alleged that respondent management had not adhered to procedure as laid down in the Model Standing Orders made by the State Government of Himachal Pradesh under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 prior to termination of the services of the petitioner. It is asserted that the petitioner had more than spotless continuous service with the respondent and there is settled law that illegal termination of service amounts to retrenchment and management had to comply with the provisions of Section 25 Clause F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 however in the present case the respondent had neither served one month's notice in writing to the petitioner as well as appropriate authority nor paid one month wages in lieu of notice period to the petitioner. No retrenchment compensation was paid to the petitioner on the last working day. No notice in prescribed manner was served upon the appropriate government as well as no prior approval was obtained from the competent/appropriate authority and as such the action of the respondent management regarding termination of the services of petitioner was illegal and clear cut violation of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is alleged that after terminating the services of petitioner respondent had engaged Mr. Ashok Kumar s/o Shri Hukam Chand as Electrician but no opportunity of re-employment was ever provided to the petitioner and action of respondents clearly violated the provisions of Section 25 Clause H of the Industrial Disputes Act. It is prayed that illegal order of termination dated 9-7-2020 passed by the respondents may be quashed and set aside and respondents may be directed to reinstate the services of petitioner w.e.f. 18-7-2020 i.e. from the date of his illegal termination along-with back wages, seniority and continuity of service as well as pay 10% compound interest on the amount of back wages being equitable relief as petitioner was remained unemployed since the date of his illegal termination.
3. In reply to the claim petition filed on behalf of respondents no.1 and 2 preliminary objections qua maintainability and estopple have been raised. On merits, it is admitted that petitioner had joined Tidal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. w.e.f. 2-7-2018 till 17-7-2020 however termination of the petitioner was not illegal but the same was done after compliance of due process and providing due opportunity being heard. Moreover due to unauthorized absence and for instigated other workmen and obstructing other workmen from doing the duty etc. the petitioner remained under suspension too. It is alleged that there were no genuine demands of the workmen. It is asserted that respondent company had providing all basic amenities and facilities in accordance with framework of law. It is submitted that the matter with regard to employees' demands was negotiated and both the parties i.e. workers and management had resolved the same amicably. 'The workers and the company (Tidal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd.) have signed memorandum of settlement under Section18 (1) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 on 02-07-2020'. It is alleged that the respondents management had never violated any provisions of EPF Act. It is again submitted that settlement was arrived on 2-7-2020 and the workers and the factory management were working3083 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 together happily. It is submitted that all the allegations made were false and concocted. On 1-12-2015 the petitioner was appointed at factory address of respondent company as a Electrician and had continued his services till 17-7-2020 and he was drawing wages of Rs. 11,750/- per month along-with other incentives as per company policy. It is asserted that due to Covid-19 the respondent company was temporarily closed. It is asserted that in lieu of emergency situation respondent company resumed its activities at the factory after obtaining all necessary permission and followed MHA and District Administration Standard Operating Procedure/guidelines. It is asserted that in the month of May due to emergency situation as contribution to the national interest, the operation in the unit of respondent company was resumed and the workforce who were local residents was invited to join the duty. Since the petitioner was not a local resident for safety measures it was decided not to ask the petitioner to join duty. It is alleged that petitioner all of sudden started anti-establishment activity and tried to influence the work force not to join duties but the workers did not join his call. It is asserted that petitioner adopted means of tarnishing the reputation of the directors and goodwill of the company by spreading false remarks which inter alia included the respondent company doing atrocities on the labourers and compelling them to come to the company. It is asserted that petitioner through unauthorized union was causing hindrances and difficulties in the smooth operating of respondent company's operations disrupted the harmony, unity and peace as well as caused obstacles to working workers of the factory. It is asserted that various show cause notices were issued to the petitioner but no reasonable explanation was given by the petitioner with regard to his behaviour. It is asserted that principles of natural justice and standing orders and articles 14 and 16 of Indian Constitution were complied with as well as respondent management adhered to procedure as laid down before passing the termination order and no illegality or violation of the Act was made while terminating the petitioner. It is asserted that the provisions of Section 25 Clause F, H and Section 33 of the Industrial Disputes Act were not applicable to petitioner in the present case. Other parawise averments made in the claim petition are denied and it is prayed that services of petitioner were terminated in accordance with law as well as adhering to the provisions of principles of natural justice. It is therefore prayed that the petition of the petitioner deserves to be dismissed.

REASONS FOR FINDINGS
Issue No.1
10. It is not disputed fact that petitioner was working with respondents as an Electrician since 2-7-2018 till termination of his services on 18-7-2020. The petitioner was Branch President of H.P. Industrial Workers Union registration no. 155, HO Saproon Solan H.P. Branch Tidal Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. Workers Union Golthai which was formed to get redressal of certain demands of workmen. Shri Pradeep Kumar was the Branch Senior Vice President and Shri Virender Singh was Secretary of the aforesaid union. The Branch Committee of the union had served a demand notice under Section 2K of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 upon the respondents on 25-3-2019 raising certain demands and copy of demand notice was sent to Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer Bilaspur. Conciliation proceedings commenced and no amicable settlement was reached consequently failure report was sent to Labour Commissioner on 6-11-2019 and necessary reference was issued to Labour Court. It is alleged that on the complaint of petitioner and union certain irregularities were found and violation of Payment of Wages Act was discovered which led to registration of case No. 15/2020 before the Judicial Magistrate Bilaspur.
11. The petitioner has also alleged that union has raised the complaint for the violation of EPF Act, 1952 by the respondents. An inquiry was initiated against respondents company. Shri Pradeep Kumar had also preferred a complaint to Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh alleging non payment of wages, overtime etc. In the light of above averments the petitioner has alleged that the3085 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 respondents became vindictive against him. Another complaint had been made by union qua illegal termination of contractual workers vide demand notice dated 6-11-2019. The petitioner during course of his cross-examination has denied that he along-with another persons had tried to stop the work and production of the factory and the workers understood his politically motivated intentions and were ready to enter into an agreement with the respondents. He has shown his ignorance with regard to compromise dated 2-7-2020. He has denied that respondent company had not violated any of the provisions of the EPF and another labour laws. He has denied that he along-with other union members had tried to tarnish the image of the company. He has also denied that he conducted an agitation during corona period though he admits that he raised a demand that the workers should be paid their wages during corona period when the factory was closed. He has denied that when he was called for work after lockdown he started spreading misinformation about the factory. However he has admitted Ext. R1 was written by him whereby he has asked the other workers to not to come for work. He has denied that on his incitement many workers stopped the work in the factory. He has admitted that notice dated 1-6-2020 Ext. R2 was issued to him by the company which he has refused to receive. He admits that he was not called for work by the company however he went to the gate of company. He also admits that on 2-6-2020 another show cause notice Ext. R3 was issued to him. He has denied that he tried to enter the premises of company during lockdown period and gave false news in newspaper that the company was exploiting the workers. He has admitted that he gave the reply Ext. R5 and Ext. R6 to the company. He also admitted that Ext. R7 was also issued by him to the company. He has denied that he received letter dated 25-6-2020 by way of registered post. He admits receiving letter Ext. R8.
12. The case of respondents is however put forward by RW1 Shri Sanjeev Kumar. The various disputes which have been raised by the respondent and as union against the respondent company have not been expressly denied though it is denied that company had violated the provisions of the EPF, payment of wages and other labour laws. He has denied that repressive measures or threats were given to office bearers of the union including the petitioner. He alleged that the petitioner and other office bearers had tried to tarnish the image of the company despite the fact that on amicable settlement was arrived between the respondents and workmen on 2-7-2020. On merits it is not denied that petitioner was appointed as a worker on 2-7-2018 and continued to work as electrician till the date of his termination. It is asserted that the petitioner was not local resident of the area where the factory was working with workforce during corona pandemic hence he was not allowed to join the duty. It is alleged that petitioner all of sudden started anti establishment activities and tried to influence the workforce not to join the duty such effort on the part of the petitioner have been futile as the company resumed its activities. He further alleges that petitioner tarnished the reputation of the directors and goodwill of the company by spreading false remarks alleging that the respondent company was doing atrocities of labourer and compelling them to come to company. Petitioner also alleged that cleanliness was not maintained and illegal activity was carried out by the company. Some of the workers who were requested to join were found absent without any reason and authorization which led to issuance of show cause notice on 16-5-2020. No reply was filed by the worker however petitioner filed a complaint on 18-5-2020 on behalf of absented workers. The petitioner had also filed a complaint against respondent company alleging that the premises of the company were un-clean and unsanitary and sent the same to the government authorities. An immediate reply was given by the respondents company on 18-5-2020 wherein it was mentioned that cleanliness was always the utmost priority of pharmaceutical manufacturing unit. The complaint was found to be false and vindictive and revengeful activity. He also alleges that petitioner thereafter started disrupting peace and proper working of the factory and made false claims. He instigated other workmen and approached the print media and published an article against respondent company on 25-5-2020. Petitioner along-with his union was causing hindrances and difficulties in the smooth operation of the company. Show cause notice was issued to petitioner on 1-6-2020 and investigation of allegations made on 25-5-2020. On 26-5-2020 another show cause notice was sent to the petitioner however petitioner refused to receive the show3086 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 cause notice dated 1-6-2020 in presence of Jasbir Sinigh. The petitioner was made aware that refusal to receive any official communication amounts to misconduct and attracts punishment despite repeated request the petitioner had not given reasonable explanation for his behaviour. He however started protest outside the premises of the factory on 2-6-2020. These protests were published in the local newspaper on 3-6-2020 whereby defamatory allegations were made against the company. Due to anti establishment activities of the petitioner i.e. another protest on 8-6-2020 the company had filed for police protection and approached print media on 7-6-2020. A reply was sent by petitioner to respondent company in lieu of show cause notice dated 1-6-2020. On 10-6-2020 another reply letter was sent by petitioner in lieu of another show cause notice dated 2-6-2020. The activity of petitioner against the company caused unrest in the factory premises and hindrances in smooth operation of the factory work. Company sent letter dated 11-6-2020 to Deputy Commissioner Bilaspur preventing the workers from the factory and disrupting the smooth functioning. On 18-6-2020 company had sent a reply to the petitioner dated 10-6-2020 stating that petitioner failed to submit reply of show cause notice and the reply was given by him was unsatisfactory. Respondents company gave three days time to come up with reasonable explanation failing which disciplinary action would be taken against him. On 25-6-2020 the respondent company in reply letter dated 13-6-2020 stated the averments about wrongful termination was false and frivolous and company also followed the rules and given enough opportunity to the petitioner to present himself. The activities of the petitioner against the respondent company did not stop even after several notices were issued to him. On 9-7-2020 after giving several chances and offer of resignation was sent to petitioner whereby he was given chance to resign from the company on or before 15-7-2020 and not later than 17-7-2020 along-with fair settlement amount of Rs. 14,692/-. It was also mentioned that in case he failed to submit his resignation the letter of termination would be treated as letter of termination w.e.f. 18-7-2020.
13. In his cross-examination this witness admitted that during period of his work with the company no formal complaint against the behaviour of the petitioner was received. He is not able to recall that on the date of termination of the petitioner a case was already pending before the court. He has admitted that no prior permission of the court was obtained while termination of the services of the petitioner. He has admitted that before termination of petitioner no one month's notice was ever issued to the petitioner. Though he states that information with regard to full and final payment was given to the petitioner. However he admits that no record of such payment offer is produced in the court. He admits that not retrenchment compensation was given to the petitioner. He has denied that opportunity of hearing was not afforded to the petitioner. He has admitted that no inquiry was conducted by respondent company with regard to the charge-sheet, written statement or affidavit containing allegations against the petitioner. He has admitted that the petitioner was terminated without any legal inquiry. He admits that company follows the Model Standing Order and rules. He has denied that company had compelled the petitioner to resign.
14. Learned Authorized Representative for the petitioner has vehemently argued that the services of the petitioner have been dispensed with in the background of vindictive and repressive attitude of the respondents because the petitioner was an agitating with regard to demands of the workers through his union. The various show cause notices have been issued to the petitioner however neither any charge-sheet was served on the petitioner nor any inquiry was conducted. The contention of the respondents regarding the termination of the petitioner on disciplinary grounds does not appear to be legal and justified.
15. Learned Counsel for the respondents has however argued that the petitioner had conducted various acts of indiscipline tarnishing the image of the company and also hindered the proper working of the company by inciting the workers and spreading misinformation. The reply to the show cause notice issued to the petitioner was not satisfactory and consequentially he was asked to resign failing which his services were terminated.
3087 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 194816. Section 2 (oo) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 describing the retrenchment as follows:-
"[ "retrenchment" means the termination by the employer of the service of a workman for any reason whatsoever, otherwise than as a punishment inflicted by way of disciplinary action but does not include - [Inserted by Act 43 of 1953, Section 2 (w.e.f. 24-10-1953). ]
(a) voluntary retirement of the workman; or(b)retirement of the workman on reaching the age of superannuation if the contract of employment between the employer and the workman concerned contains a stipulation in that behalf; or ]
[ termination of the service of the workman as a result of the non-renewal of the contract of employment between the employer and the workman concerned on its expiry or of such contract being terminated under a stipulation in that behalf contained therein; or] [ Inserted by Act, 49 of 1984, Section 2 (w.e.f. 18-8-1984).] (c) [ termination of the service of a workman on the ground of continued ill-health;
] [Inserted by Act 43 of 1953, Section 2 (w.e.f. 24-10-1953). ]"
17. In the circumstances of the present case the petitioner has alleged illegal termination. Respondents have asserted that the termination was subsequent to disciplinary proceedings and admittedly the applicability of Model Standing Orders and Rules. In absence of any documents pertaining to the inquiry proceedings it is evident that the services of the petitioner were terminated without affording him due opportunity of defending himself. No inquiry was conducted in view of the allegations made against the petitioner. The respondents company while dispensing with the services of the petitioner has not followed the principles of natural justice. It is also established that there was no compliance of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is hence proved from the overall documentary and oral evidence that the services of the petitioner were illegally terminated in violation of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and the principle of natural justices. Accordingly issue no.1 is decided partly in the favour of the petitioner.
Issue No. 2
18. It has been proved from the overwhelming evidence that the services of the petitioner were illegally terminated by the respondents without any compliance of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The petitioner in this case has claimed the back wages, seniority as well as compensation with regard to illegal termination. The overall circumstances of the case clearly show that the respondents have not followed the principles of natural justice as well as provision of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. In these circumstances the petitioner is held entitled to reinstatement to the similar post from the date of his termination along-with seniority, 50% of back wages and a compensation of Rs.1 lakh. Hence issue no.2 is decided accordingly.
Issues No. 3 and 4
19. The onus of proving these issues was on the respondents. The maintainability of the claim petition has been challenged on the ground that the termination of petitioner was after following due process an inquiry. However the facts contrary to these assertions have emerged from the evidence on the record. No such facts could be proved by the respondents which would lead this court to believe that petitioner is estopped from filing the claim by his act and conduct. Hence issues no.3 and 4 are decided in the favour of the petitioner and against the respondents.
RELIEF
3088 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 194820. In view of my discussion on the issues no. 1 to 4 above, the claim petition succeeds and is partly allowed. The petitioner is held entitled to reinstatement to the similar post from the date of his termination along-with seniority, 50% of back wages and compensation of Rs.1 lakh. Parties are left to bear their costs.
21. The reference is answered in aforesaid terms. A copy of this Award be sent to the appropriate Government for publication in the official gazette. File after due completion be consigned to the Record Room.

On the aforesaid demand notice conciliation proceedings were held before the Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer which were attended by the petitioner along-with other office bearers of the union but no amicable settlement could be arrived during the conciliation proceedings and accordingly the Conciliation Officer submitted failure report to Labour Commissioner Himachal Pradesh and the appropriate government sent a reference to this court for adjudication vide notification dated 13-5-2020 which was registered as Reference No.66/2020 and the same is pending before this court. It is alleged that after submission of demands the respondents became vindictive/prejudiced towards the petitioner and president as well as branch secretary of the union and respondents started repressive measures and threatened the petitioner and Shri Vikram Singh, President and Sh. Virender Singh, Branch Secretary of union to refrain from trade union activities otherwise their services shall be terminated by the factory management. It is alleged that the petitioner and other representatives of the union orally pointed out that factory management had violated the provisions of Minimum Wages Act and EPF Act as the management had not paid minimum wages to the workmen employed in the factory in semi- skilled, skilled and highly skilled categories as well as their EPF deduction was also not made since 2015 to 2018 however in some case the EFP deduction was made on lower rate of wages instead of actual wages being drawn by the workmen.

The union had again submitted another demand notice dated 6-11-2019 to the respondent management under Section 2K of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and copy of same was sent to the appropriate authorities i.e. Labour Commissioner, H.P., Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer, Bilaspur, Deputy Commissioner, Bilaspur, Superintendent of Police, Bilaspur and SDM, Sri Naina Devi Ji at Swarghat etc. In accordance with this demand notice the Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer had started conciliation on the intervention of SDM, Shri Naina Devi Ji, Sawarghat. On 22-3-2020 the Central Government had declared complete lockdown and put curfew throughout the country due to Covid-19 pandemic for period of one month and same was further extended from time to time by the Government however due to this reason the petitioner could not attend duties w.e.f. 24-3-2020 to 7-5-2020 but no wages were paid by the respondent for the above said period. It is asserted that respondent management has asked the petitioner to join duty during curfew but respondent management had handed over the pass to the petitioner through one of the factory worker namely Mr. Ram Pal on 8-5-2020 in the morning and after receiving the pass the petitioner went to factory and worked/performed his duty on 8-5-2020. On 9th May, 2020. On 9-5-2020 when petitioner came back to home after performing his duty in the evening the president of Gram Panchayat Bassi asked the petitioner to remain at home for 14 days till 17th May, 2020 as he had attended crimination/funeral ceremony of elder Aunt (Tayi ji) at village Chalola in District Una on 4-5-3030. The petitioner travelled to Chalola Village after obtaining curfew travelling pass from District Magistrate BIlaspur bearing Covid Pass No. HP89921 dated 4-5-2020 and the petitioner remained at home till 17-5-2020. On 18-5-2020 petitioner joined his duty but there was no proper cleaning and sanitization in the factory where the workers were working. Petitioner along-with other co-workmen had given a written letter to respondent management for regarding Covid-19 pandemic and instructions issued by the Government. It is asserted that when workmen of the factory and union of workmen had raised demand for releasing wages of the workmen for lock down period of Covid-19 pandemic however petitioner on behalf of union asked respondent no.2 for releasing the same in accordance with the instruction of the Government of India but of no avail. It is asserted that the petitioner highlighted the genuine grievances of workmen working with the respondent through union but due to this reason respondent become more vindictive and revengeful towards the petition as well as other principle office bearers of the union. On 19-5-2020 the services of petitioner were placed under suspension by the respondent management on false and fabricated charges illegally vide letter dated 19-5-2020. It is asserted that petitioner has represented to the respondent against the suspension vide written representation dated 19-5-2020 and also given written complaint with regard to illegal suspension to the Tehsildar, Sawarghat on 20-5-2020. It is asserted that respondent management had served charge-sheet to the petitioner vide letter dated 25.5.2020 with the direction to file reply for the same within two days.

Thereafter respondent no.2 written a letter on 9th July, 2020 to the petitioner wherein respondent asked the petitioner to submit formal resignation not later than 15-7-2020 and if company do not receive any formal resignation letter before 17-7-2020 consider this letter as letter of termination w.e.f. 18-7-2020. It is alleged that termination of the services of petitioner w.e.f. 18-7-2020 by respondent no.2 was illegal and unjustified. It is asserted that before passing termination order dated 9-7-2020 Annexure P-21 no inquiry was held to prove the alleged charges against the petitioner. No opportunity of defense and personal hearing was provided/afforded to the petitioner and as such the action of respondent terminating the service of petitioner was against the principles of natural justice, illegal, unjustified and is in violation of the provisions of Model Standing Orders and Articles 14 & 16 of the Constitution of India. It is alleged that respondent management had not adhered to procedure as laid down in the Model Standing Orders made by the State Government of Himachal Pradesh under the Industrial3091 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 prior to termination of the services of the petitioner. It is asserted that the petitioner had more than four years spotless continuous service with the respondent and there is settled law that illegal termination of service amounts to retrenchment and management had to comply with the provisions of Section 25 Clause F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 however in the present case the respondent had neither served one month's notice in writing to the petitioner as well as appropriate authority nor paid one month wages in lieu of notice period to the petitioner. No retrenchment compensation was paid to the petitioner on the last working day. No notice in prescribed manner was served upon the appropriate government as well as no prior approval was obtained from the competent/appropriate authority and as such the action of the respondent management regarding termination of the services of petitioner was illegal and clear cut violation of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is alleged that after terminating the services of petitioner respondent had engaged Mr. Ashok Kumar s/o Shri Hukam Chand as Granulation Operation but no opportunity of re-employment was ever provided to the petitioner and action of respondents clearly violated the provisions of Section 25 Clause H of the Industrial Disputes Act. It is prayed that illegal order of termination dated 9.7.2020 passed by the respondents may be quashed and set aside and respondents may be directed to reinstate the services of petitioner w.e.f. 18-7-2020 i.e. from the date of his illegal termination along-with back wages, seniority and continuity of service as well as pay 10% compound interest on the amount of back wages being equitable relief as petitioner was remained unemployed since the date of his illegal termination.
3. In reply to the claim petition filed on behalf of respondents no. 1 and 2 preliminary objections qua maintainability and estopple have been raised. On merits, it is admitted that petitioner had joined Tidal Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. in December, 2015 and his services were terminated w.e.f. 18-7-2020 however termination of the petitioner was not illegal but the same was done after compliance of due process and provided due opportunity being heard. Moreover due to unauthorized absence and for instigated other workmen and obstructing other workmen from doing the duty etc. the petitioner remained under suspension. It is alleged that there were no genuine demands of the workmen. It is asserted that respondent company had providing all basic amenities and facilities in accordance with framework of law.

It is asserted that petitioner was continuously absent since 11.5.2020 without any reasonable explanation or authorization from the respondent company however he was time and again reminded of necessity of having requested workmen at the factory premises as the respondent company could not be operated with full workforce and it was necessary that the work force who were the local residents to present the factory premises for smooth functioning of factory operations. On 16-5-2020 after repeated requests finally a show cause notice was sent by the3092 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 respondent company to petitioner for his unauthorized absence. It is asserted that petitioner had not heeded the requests of respondent company however all of sudden started anti-establishment activity and tried to influence the workforce not to join duties but other workers had not joined his call. It is asserted that petitioner adopted means of tarnishing the reputation of the directors and goodwill of the company by spreading false remarks which inter alia included the respondent company doing atrocities on the labourers and compelled them to come to the company. It is alleged that petitioner had instigated other workers and filed complaint against respondent company on 18-5-2020 which was signed by few workers as well as petitioner. It is asserted that due to misbehave in instigating other workmen to file a complaint against the company a suspension letter dated 19-5-2020 was sent to the petitioner. However assuming quarantine to be true the petitioner had visited the factory premises on 8-5-2020 and 9-5-2020 which had endangered all other factory workers. On 25-5-2020 the respondent company had filed a charge-sheet against the petitioner for his misbehaviour and anti-establishment activities wherein it is stated that petitioner was wilfully absented from his duties at factory without any reason and authorization. It is alleged that petitioner had filed a false complaint against the respondent company with false allegations and due to which the petitioner was served a letter for suspension of services until further investigation which was refused to be accepted.

It is asserted that principles of natural justice and standing orders and articles 14 and 16 of Indian Constitution were complied with as well as respondent management adhered to procedure as laid down before passing the termination order and no illegality or violation of the Act was made while terminating the petitioner. It is asserted that the provisions of Section 25 Clause F, H and Section 33 of the Industrial Disputes Act were not applicable to petitioner in the present case.

REASONS FOR FINDINGS
Issue No. 1
10. It is not disputed fact that petitioner was working with respondents factory since 1-1-2015 upto 18-7-2020. The petitioner had described set of circumstances which according to him existed prior to his illegal termination on 18-7-2020. The petitioner was branch senior Vice President of Himachal Pradesh Industrial Workers Union registration no. 155, HO Saproon Solan3094 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 H.P. Branch Tidal Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. Workers Union Golthai. This union was formed for redressal of certain demands of workmen. Shri Vikram Singh was the Branch President and Shri Virender Singh was Secretary of the aforesaid union. The Branch Committee of the union served a demand notice under Section 2K of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 upon the respondents on 25-3-2019 raising certain demands sent to Labour Officer-cum-Conciliation Officer Bilaspur. Conciliation proceedings thereafter commenced with no amicable solution and failure report was sent to the Labour Commissioner, H.P. on 6-11-2019 and necessary reference was issued to Labour Court. The petitioner has also alleged that on the complaint of union and the petitioner certain irregularities and violation of payment of wages by the respondent was found which led registration of case 14/2020 and 15/2020 before Judicial Magistrate Bilaspur.
11. The petitioner has further alleged that union had made a compliant to Regional Provident Fund Commissioner for the violation of EPF Act, 1952 on which inquiry was initiated against the company. Petitioner had also made complaint to the Chief Minister of Himachal Pradesh regarding non payment of wages and overtime etc. In the light of these circumstances the petitioner has alleged that respondents became vindictive against him. Petitioner also submitted another complaint made by union qua illegal termination of contractual workers vide demand notice dated 6-11-2019. In order to support his contention the petitioner has also examined PW2 Shri Bhag Singh. In his affidavit this witness has also submitted that he was elected as Advisor, District Council of All India Trade Union Congress District Bilaspur-cum-Secretary H.P State Council of Himachal Pradesh of All India Trade Union Congress. H.P Industrial Workers Union with registration No. 155 HO Saproon Solan Branch of Tidal Laboratory Pvt. Ltd. Workers union Golthai is affiliated to All India Trade Union Congress regarding which petitioner workman Shri Pradeep Kumar is the elected Branch Senior Vice President and Vikram Singh is the elected Branch Secretary of the Union. He also stated about demand notice dated 25-3-2019 served on the respondents. He however submitted that on 19-5-2020 the services of petitioner Pradeep Kumar were placed under suspension by the respondents management on false and fabricated charges and in an illegal manner. Respondent no. 2 has appointed Shri P.K Sharma as inquiry officer who fixed venue of the enquiry on 1st July, 2020 at 1.30 PM in the premises of respondents factory. On receipt letter Ext. PW1/X the petitioner workman had appointed Shri Bhag Singh as his defense assistant to assist him in the inquiry proceedings. He however alleges that on 1.7.2020 he along- with petitioner Pradeep Kumar went to said scheduled venue on the date and time fixed by the Inquiry Officer. They reached the respondents factory at 10 AM and waited at factory entrance gate from 10 AM to 4PM however Shri P.K. Sharma, Inquiry Officer did not come to the factory premises nor any intimation was given to the petitioner workman. On inquiry the petitioner was told that Shri P.K. Sharma had not come and the next date would be intimated to them. He has admitted that they had not reported the fact regarding the absence of inquiry officer before conciliation officer. He denied that the petitioner and the defense assistant did not appear before inquiry officer on the different dates which were fixed for the purpose of hearing.
12. The respondents have denied all the allegations qua violation of labour laws. The factum of dispute between the workman and respondents company are not expressly denied. It is however asserted that the workman and the company have signed a memorandum of settlement under Section 18 Clause 1 of the Industrial Disputes Act. The allegations of vindictive attitude repressive measures including threats given to the petitioner have also been denied. The respondents by way of their witness RW1 Shri Sanjeev Kumar have alleged that on 21-3-2020 due to covid situation there was nationwide lockdown. The respondents resumed the activities being drug manufacturing company. The petitioner was notified telephonically to resume its duty from 6-5-2020. He resume the duty only on 8-5-2020 and then without any reasonable explanation remained absent on 11-5-2020 onwards. On 16-5-2020 the company sent a show cause notice for unauthorized absence of petitioner. It is alleged that petitioner on 18-5-2020 instigated the workmen made a false complaint that factory premises of the respondent company was unclean and3095 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 unsanitary. These allegations were clarified by the company before authorities. On 18-5-2020 company received a letter from Gram Panchayat advising the petitioner to remain in quarantine as per covid protocol from 4-5-2020 for 14 days. This meant that petitioner has resumed their duties on the earlier date i.e. 8-5-2020 and 9-5-2020 against covid protocol. Thus on 19-5-2020 suspension letter was issued to the petitioner. Respondents have alleged that act of petitioner was the violation of Disaster Management Act under Section 188 of Indian Penal Code. The fact regarding joining of duty by the petitioner on 8-5-2020 and 9-5-2020 was subsequently explained by the Gram Panchayat are not denied. In-fact according to petitioner he went to attend funeral of his aunt on 4-5-2020 on the basis of pass issued by authorities. After receiving directions of Gram Panchayat he followed advise to remain in quarantine.
13. On 25-5-2020 respondents company had issued a charge-sheet against the petitioner for misbehaviour anti establishment activity, absence and for visiting the factory premises on 8-5-2020 and 9-5-2020. It is alleged that from 2-6-2020 to 8-6-2020 petitioner carried out anti establishment activities and instigated other workers working in the factory and filed a written complaint against the company. The reply of the petitioner to the charge-sheet dated 26-5-2020 was found to be unsatisfactory by the respondent company. After giving repeated opportunity to the petitioner and finding his reply unsatisfactory on 30.-5-2020 a letter was sent to inform him that Shri P.K. Sharma has been appointed as Inquiry Officer. The inquiry officer informed the petitioner that on 1-7-2020 inquiry would be conducted and on 1-7-2020 verbal proceedings were carried out. The petitioner failed to show up and proceedings were postponed to 6-7-2020. This hearing also was not attended by petitioner. On 9-7-2020 final day of proceedings the petitioner failed to appear and the Inquiry Officer concluded the charge-sheet against the petitioner as proved and correct. On 15-7-2020 a letter of option to resign and alternatively the termination of the petitioner w.e.f. 18-7-2020 has been established. Shri Sanjeev Kumar RW1 has produced all the documents with regard to the alleged inquiry and other documents regarding the various communications with the petitioner.
14. Petitioner in his cross-examination has denied that he had failed to appear before inquiry officer on the informed date and also stated that one employee Sanjeev Kumar had told him and the defense counsel that the inquiry Officer had not come to the factory premises on the date fixed for hearing i.e. 1-7-2020. PW2 Shri Bhag Singh has also corroborated the above version of the petitioner.
15. RW1 Shri Sanjeev Kumar has asserted that the termination of the petitioner was consequent to inquiry proceedings. He states that inquiry officer had informed the worker about the dates which have been fixed for hearing. He however admitted that no such notice has been produced on record by the respondents. He admitted that no witness was examined from the company during the inquiry proceedings and no exparte order was passed. He admits that termination order does not mention the inquiry proceedings and/or that the termination was consequence to the charges proved in an inquiry.
16. Admittedly, petitioner had not been paid any retrenchment compensation or pay in lieu of notice of his disengagement as per the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. RW1 Shri Sanjeev Kumar has also admitted in his cross-examination that at the time of termination of the petitioner no permission was sought from this court or from the appropriate government. He also admitted that neither one month's notice or pay in lieu of notice was given to the petitioner. It is rightly argued by learned Authorized Representative for the petitioner that once respondents are alleging the termination of the petitioner consequent to the inquiry proceedings the examination of the Inquiry Officer was mandatory in this case. The inquiry officer has not been examined by the respondents. The so-called verbal inquiry is not proved to have been conducted as per law and no witnesses were examined at the time of conduct of inquiry. In absence of examination of witnesses3096 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 conclusion of guilt against the petitioner by the inquiry officer is clearly not admissible. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in State of Uttar Pradesh vs. Saroj Kumar Sinha, (2010) 2 SCC 772 has held in paras no. 27, 28 and 30 as follows:-
"27. A bare perusal of the aforesaid sub-rule shows that when the respondent had failed to submit the explanation to the charge-sheet it was incumbent upon the inquiry officer to fix a date for his appearance in the inquiry. It is only in a case when the government servant despite notice of the date fixed failed to appear that the inquiry officer can proceed with the inquiry ex parte. Even in such circumstances it is incumbent on the inquiry officer to record the statement of witnesses mentioned in the charge-sheet. Since the government servant is absent, he would clearly lose the benefit of cross-examination of the witnesses. But nonetheless in order to establish the charges the Department is required to produce the necessary evidence before the inquiry officer. This is so as to avoid the charge that the inquiry officer has acted as a prosecutor as well as a judge.
28. An inquiry officer acting in a quasi-judicial authority is in the position of an independent adjudicator. He is not supposed to be a representative of the department/disciplinary authority/Government. His function is to examine the evidence presented by the Department, even in the absence of the delinquent official to see as to whether the unrebutted evidence is sufficient to hold that the charges are proved. In the present case the aforesaid procedure has not been observed. Since no oral evidence has been examined the documents have not been proved, and could not have been taken into consideration to conclude that the charges have been proved against the respondents.
30. When a departmental enquiry is conducted against the government servant it cannot be treated as a casual exercise. The enquiry proceedings also cannot be conducted with a closed mind. The inquiry officer has to be wholly unbiased. The rules of natural justice are required to be observed to ensure not only that justice is done but is manifestly seen to be done. The object of rules of natural justice is to ensure that a government servant is treated fairly in proceedings which may culminate in imposition of punishment including dismissal/removal from service."
17. There is no document produced by the respondents to show that petitioner was duly notified to appear at the time of conduct of the alleged inquiry. No witnesses have been examined by inquiry officer while coming to the conclusion regarding guilt of the accused, thus contention of the respondents regarding an inquiry is farce and afterthought. The allegations made in the charge- sheet were not proved by examination of witness hence the inquiry as well as conclusion regarding termination of the services of petitioner was illegal. There was no compliance of the provisions of Sections 25 Clause F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 hence issue no.1 is decided in the favour of petitioner and against the respondents.
Issue No. 2
18. It has been proved from the overwhelming evidence that the services of the petitioner were illegally terminated by the respondents without any compliance of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The petitioner in this case has claimed the back wages, seniority as well as compensation with regard to illegal termination. The overall circumstances of the case clearly show that the respondents have concluded the guilt of accused with a clear motive to dispense with his services without complying with the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. In these circumstances the petitioner is held entitled to reinstatement to the similar post from3097 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 the date of his termination along-with seniority, 50% of back wages and a compensation of Rs.1 lakh. Hence issue no. 2 is decided accordingly.
Issues No.3 and 4
19. The onus of proving these issues was on the respondents. The maintainability of the claim petition has been challenged on the ground that the termination of petitioner was after following due process an inquiry. However the facts contrary to these assertions have emerged from the evidence on the record. No such notice could be proved by the respondents which would lead this court to believe that petitioner is estopped from filing the claim by his act and conduct. Hence issues no. 3 and 4 are decided in the favour of the petitioner and against the respondents.
RELIEF
20. In view of my discussion on the issues no. 1 to 4 above, the claim petition succeeds and is partly allowed. The petitioner is held entitled to reinstatement to the similar post from the date of his termination along-with seniority, 50% of back wages and compensation of Rs.1 lakh. Parties are left to bear their costs.
21. The reference is answered in aforesaid terms. A copy of this Award be sent to the appropriate Government for publication in the official gazette. File after due completion be consigned to the Record Room.

For the Petitioner : Sh. N.L. Kaundal, Ld. AR : Sh. Vijay Kaundal, Ld. Adv. For Respondent : Sh. B.C. Katoch, Ld. Dy. D.A.
3098 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 AWARDThe following industrial disputes has been received by this court for the purpose of adjudication from the appropriate authority/Deputy Labour Commissioner:—
"Whether the demand raised by Shri Narinder Kumar s/o Shri Kanshi Ram, r/o V.P.O. Tikkar Khatrian, Tehsil Bhoranj, District Hamirpur, H.P. who is presently working on bill basis, to engage his services on muster roll basis and not to engage his services on bill basis before the Divisional Forest Officer, Joginder Nagar Forest Division, Joginder Nagar, District Mandi, H.P., is maintainable, legal and justified? If yes, from which date what relief of past service benefits the above workman is entitled to from the above employer. If not what its legal effect?"
2. The brief facts as stated in the claim petition are that the services of petitioner were initially engaged/appointed by the Divisional Forest Officer Joginder Nagar on muster roll basis w.e.f. 3-3-2003 and engaged in the office of Range Officer, Kamlah and he (petitioner) has continuously worked in the said capacity with fictional breaks till December, 2003. It is alleged that department had given fictional breaks to the petitioner from January, 2004 to March, 2004 and thereafter his services were again engaged by the department in Nursery Section at Kamlah Range Office w.e.f. 1-4-2004 in the same capacity and continuously worked on muster roll till September, 2006. It is alleged that the services condition of petitioner was unlawfully changed by the department without prior notice during the year 2006 on bill basis however in the months of November, 2007 to April, 2008 the petitioner was again provided muster roll by the respondent and thereafter he was engaged by the department on bill basis in month of January, 2009 and the department disengaged the services of petitioner in the month of February and March, 2009. It is asserted that thereafter the services of petitioner were engaged on bill basis and such practices continued till date. It is asserted that no terms and conditions were settled by the department at the time of engaging the petitioner on bill basis however petitioner had worked on daily wage basis in Kamlah Nursery and the department had shown the working of petitioner on bill basis only. It is asserted that in the seniority lists as stood on 31-12-2012 and 30-11-2016 the petitioner was figured at serial nos. 23 and 24. The petitioner had raised industrial dispute against respondent vide demand notice dated 13-6-2022 wherein the petitioner has pleaded that his service conditions were changed by the respondent from muster roll to bill basis without serving him prior notice as mandatorily required under Section 9-A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is alleged that the service conditions of the petitioner were changed just to deprive him of continuous service on muster roll for the purpose of regularization as per policy of the State Government. It is alleged that the act of department was unfair labour practice with regard to engaging and disengaging the services of petitioner time and again from June, 2004 to September, 2007 and engagement on bill basis was highly unjustified, arbitrary, unconstitutional and against the Item no. 10 of 5th Schedule to deprive him of the benefits of regularization. It is alleged that the department had also violated Articles 14, 16 and 21 of Constitution of India. It is therefore, prayed that in view of submissions made the court may allow the claim petition of petitioner. It is prayed to set aside illegal breaks period from time to time as well as set aside period of bill basis and respondent may be directed to engage the services of petitioner on muster roll instead of bill basis and period from June, 2004 onwards may be counted for the purpose of continuous service including regularization.
3. In reply to the claim petition preliminary objections qua maintainability, suppression of material facts and estopple have been raised. On merits, it is asserted that petitioner was initially engaged as casual labourer in Forest Department during June, 2004 on seasonal forestry works keeping in view availability of work and funds and not w.e.f. February, 2004 as forest worker, mali as alleged. It is asserted that works carried out by the forest department including plantation works, fire protection works and soil conservation works were seasonal as well as site specific. It is asserted that department depends upon and employs labourer on the basis of seasonal requirement.
3099 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948It is asserted that the requirement was also based upon financial allocation to the works to be carried out in a year. It is asserted that daily waged workers are not engaged against any regular vacancy as well as casual labourer are not engaged against regular post in the department. Since H.P. Forest Department is not a Work Charged Establishment and daily wagers are not engaged against regular establishment there is no regular budget provisions for their wages in the actual budget of the department. It is asserted that since the forestry works are of seasonal nature so daily wage labour is engaged by the department on the need basis, work and availability of funds and disengaged after completion of works or if funds get exhausted. It is asserted that the petitioner had worked intermittently as per availability of work and funds on seasonal forestry works on muster roll and bill basis. It is asserted that petitioner was hired for work by respondent department on bill basis in few months i.e. 2006, 2007 and 2008 and thereafter w.e.f. April 2009 upto the year 2014 and got payments for execution of various works. It is asserted that as per seniority list as stood on 30-11-2016 the name of the petitioner was shown at serial no.53 and his date of engagement was shown as 1-6-2004. It is alleged that the services of petitioner were not terminated from time to time by the respondent in order to prevent him from completing 240 days in each year. Since the petitioner was absented himself from the work at his own sweet will due to seasonal and site specific work which was subject to availability of funds and petitioner had never completed 240 days of work in any of the calendar year from the date of his initial engagement. It is asserted that petitioner had worked for many years without any objection and now filed instant petition with malafide intention to derive the benefit of regularization and he was sitting mum and not raised any objection. Other averments made in the petition were denied and it is prayed that the claim of the petitioner deserves to be dismissed.
4. In rejoinder to the reply filed on behalf of respondents preliminary objections were denied facts stated in the petition are reasserted and reaffirmed.
5. On the basis of the pleadings of the parties, the following issues were framed for adjudication and determination:-
1. Whether the demand raised by the petitioner before the respondent with regard to ..OPP.
his service is/was illegal and justified? (as amended)
2. If issue No.1 is proved in affirmative to what relief of past service benefits the petitioner is entitled to from the employer under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, as claimed? ..OPP.

8. I have heard the learned Authorized Representative/Counsel for the petitioner as well as learned Dy. D.A. for the respondent at length and records perused.
9. For the reasons to be recorded hereinafter while discussing the issues for determination, my findings thereon are as under:
Issue No. 1 : Partly Yes Issue No. 2 : Decided accordingly Issue No. 3 : No Issue No. 4 : No Issue No. 5 : No Relief. : Claim petition is partly allowed per operative portion of the Award.
REASONS FOR FINDINGS
Issue No. 1
10. The petitioner's claim is that he was appointed as daily wage worker by the respondent on muster roll basis in Kamlah Range from 2003 till 2009. During this period he was given breaks in service not allowing him to complete 240 days and the department had without notice changed his working condition from muster roll to bill basis and vice versa. The juniors of the petitioner were provided work regularly.
11. The respondent has contested this claim of the petitioner and asserted that he was a casual labourer in forest department during 2004 on seasonal forestry works. It is asserted that the work carried out by department are plantation, fire protection and soil moisture conservation works which are seasonal in nature. Thus the department employed the workers on the basis of seasonal requirement and on the basis of financial allocations regarding the work to be carried out in a year. Daily wages workers are not engaged against any vacancy or regular post and there is no regular budget provision for their service. It is further asserted that whenever need arises labour is engaged on daily on monthly basis. The labour is disengaged after completion of work if funds are exhausted. The petitioner also worked intermittently as per the availability of work.
12. RW1 Shri Ashwani Kumar, Divisional Forest Officer has admitted in his cross- examination that as per Ext. PW1/B the petitioner is shown to be appointed on 3.3.2003. On one hand he alleges that petitioner was engaged as casual labourer, on the other hand he admits that petitioner was paid on daily wage basis. He denied that fictional breaks were given to the petitioner and that petitioner was called for work as and when work was available. No records of any communication vide which the petitioner was called for duty is however produced on record. He admits that no notice under Section 9A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was issued to the petitioner when his services were changed from daily wages basis to bill basis. No quotation of the work given by the petitioner has also been produced. It is admitted that no quotation was ever given by the petitioner. It is also admitted that department does not advertise the work calling for quotation from interested persons. It is admitted that bills Ext. RW1/Z2 to Ext. RW1/Z101 are prepared by the department officials. He admits that regular workers are performing throughout the year and there is no notification of the government declaring the forest department as seasonal3101 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 industry. It is further admitted by him that no guidelines have been issued by the State Government to get the work done on bill basis.
13. The above evidence and specifically Ext. RW1/B shows that the petitioner has performed the work of department since 6/2004 to 9/2006 on muster roll basis. It appears that during these period he had completed 240 days of regular work in the 12 preceding months. During 6/2006, 8/2006 and 12/2008 he was made to work on bill basis. He worked on bill basis till 9/2007 and again from 11/2007 to 4/2008 on muster roll basis. From 6/2008 to 11/2008 on bill basis and from 1-2-2009 on muster roll basis. After the year 2009 he was continuously engaged on bill basis only. Learned Dy. D.A. for the respondent has argued that record of payment made to the petitioner shows huge payment which clearly and manifestly established that petitioner had worked on bill basis voluntarily and was not working on daily wage basis with a view to gain higher amount. This also shows that petitioner left the work at his own will.
14. Arguments to the contrary are raised by the Learned Authorized Representative/Counsel for the petitioner and it is submitted that department has deliberately changed service condition of petitioner from muster roll basis to bill basis without any due notice as required under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. He also alleged that department has failed to provide regular work to the petitioner despite availability of work and funds. He argues that if the department was ready to pay huge amount as daily wages there was no dearth of funds with the department. The engagement of petitioner on bill basis after a long period of daily wage work was merely to deprive him from all the benefits of continuous service as per policy of the government based on length of continuous service.
15. The peculiar circumstances of this case clearly shows that petitioner was working on muster roll basis in the year 2004 and alternatively engaged on muster roll and bill basis till 2009. After 2009 the petitioner was shown to have been continuously worked with the department on daily basis. The careful perusal of document Ext. RW1/B shows the payment is being made to the petitioner after a gap of every two or three months. This shows that petitioner was continuously working with the respondent department in each year upto 2024. The contention of the department that work was done only seasonally and as per availability of work and grant of funds is not tenable as the work is shown to have been done by the petitioner almost continuously in each year upto 2024. Department deliberately failed to keep the record of the mandays of the petitioner with a view to deprive him the benefits of continuous service. The employment on bill basis not proved on the basis of the policy of the government and there is no quotation given by the petitioner which vindicates his stand that he was appointed on muster roll basis only. The respondent department has violated the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act as they appointed petitioner for long period of time shown to have been paid on bill basis only. This is a violation of entry no.10 of Vth Schedule of the Industrial Disputes Act,1947 as well as the basic fundamental rights of the petitioner. It has been admitted by the respondent witness that regular workers are also working with the department. No notice has ever been issued to the petitioner by the department regarding the change of his service condition. The Hon'ble High Court of H.P. in Ram Singh vs. State of Himachal Pradesh and others in CWP No. 789 of 2024, decided on 4.7.2024 has observed in para nos. 5 and 6 as follows:-
"5. It is not in dispute that the petitioner is serving with the respondents- Department since 2015 continuously by putting in more than 240 days in each calendar. It appears that in order to deny such kind of workmen, the benefits of regularization, respondent-State has come with the nomenclature of "bill basis" but, fact of the matter still remains that be it a daily wager or a bill basis worker, he is serving the Department regularly putting in more than 240 days in each calendar.
3102 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 19486. This Court of the considered view that the distinction, which is now being created by the respondents- Department between a daily wage worker and a bill base worker is violative of Article 14 of the Constitution of India. Be it a daily wage worker or a bill base worker, he is rendering the same service to the Department. Therefore, in the absence of their being any intelligible differentia between a daily wage worker and bill base worker, the classification that has been made by the Department cannot pass the touch stone of Article 14 of the Constitution of India".
16. Similarly the Hon'ble High Court of H.P. in Billu Ram vs. State of H.P. and Ors., CWP No. 7024 of 2024 has held in paras no. 6,7 and 8 as follows:—
"6.As per reply, the mandays chart enclosed with the petition had been prepared wrongly as the work was executed by the petitioner on the basis of schedule of rates and not as per labour rates. The petitioner had worked on bill basis intermittently in Sarahan, Bahli and Rampur Ranges. There was no mention of days in the bills. According to the respondents, the petitioner had worked on bill basis and was not a daily wager of the respondent-Department, hence, his claim for regularization of service is not tenable.
7. In Pyare Lal Vs. State of H.P. & Ors., respondents' contention for denying regularization to the petitioner therein, on the ground of his engagement being on bill basis was turned down. Engagement on bill basis was held to be not a determinative factor. Respondents were directed to consider the case of the petitioner, therein, for regularization in terms of the State policy after taking into consideration the period for which the petitioner therein had worked with the respondents irrespective of the manner in which he was paid. Relevant paras from the decision are as under: -
"6. In the case in hand, the respondents have submitted that the petitioner has not
worked for 240 days in any calendar year. They have not submitted the mandays
chart, showing the engagement of the petitioner per year since 2010. The only
material placed on record is the details provided in Annexure R-3, which leads to
no conclusion, as from this document, it cannot be inferred that for how many
days, the petitioner has worked in a particular year.
7. As regards the contention of the respondents that the petitioner has been
engaged on bill basis will not be the determining factor. In Vikram Singh vs. State
of H.P. & others, CWPOA No. 6748 of 2019, decided on 22-7-2022, this Court
had examined the implication of payment of hourly basis to a workman vis-à-vis
his entitlement for regularization on the basis of his continuous service as daily
wager. It has been held that the relevance would be attached to the total working
period irrespective of the manner in which the payment was made by the
employer.
8. In light of above discussion, the petition is allowed with direction to the
respondents to consider the case of the petitioner for regularization in terms of
the policy of the State Government by taking into consideration the entire period
after January, 2010 for which the petitioner has worked with the respondents
irrespective of the manner in which he was paid. The entire exercise in terms of
this order including the passing of final order shall be completed by respondent
No.3 within a period of two months from the date when a copy of this order is
3103 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948submitted before such authority. Pending applications, if any, also stand disposed
of."
8. It is not in dispute that the respondents have implemented the above decision and considered the period of service rendered by the petitioner, therein, on bill basis, for the purpose of his claim for regularization of services. The claim was though rejected eventually on the ground that the petitioner, therein, was found to have not completed 240 days during the years in question".
17. The petitioner has worked with the department since the year 2004 upto 2009. This period has to be counted as period of continuous services as breaks which appear to have been given to petitioner by the respondent were not due to seasonal nature of work or deficiency of funds. The breaks which have been given to the petitioner in the work being done by him were deliberate hence period of breaks has to be counted for the purpose of regular service. It is proved from overwhelming evidence that the demand raised by the petitioner presently working on the bill basis to engage on muster roll basis is legal and justified. Issue no.1 is decided partly in the favour of the petitioner.
Issue No. 2
18. The careful perusal of evidence produced before the court shows that petitioner has started working with the respondent since the year 2004. He continued to work on bill basis and muster roll basis alternatively till 2009. After 2009 he is shown to have worked on bill basis. Bills are admittedly prepared by the department officials. Merely because the bills bear the signatures of the petitioner do not establish that he has not worked continuously with the department. In-fact demands made by the petitioner strengthen his contention regarding continuous work and it is established that there was no paucity of work and funds with the department. Thus period of breaks given to the petitioner by the respondent department are to be counted for the purpose of regular service. Respondent is directed to re-engage the petitioner on muster roll basis forthwith and consider the case of regularization of petitioner as per policy of the State. Hence issue no. 2 is decided accordingly.
Issues No. 3, 4 and 5
19. The onus of proving these issues was on the respondent. The respondent has continuously submitted that the petitioner was engaged on bill basis due to limited availability of work and funds. There is nothing on record to show that department had ever issued any notice to the petitioner regarding change of his service condition. There is no evidence to prove that there was non-availability of work and funds with the department. The department has failed to establish that the engagement of petitioner on bill basis was in accordance with the policy of breaks issued by the State. Thus the present claim is maintainable and the petitioner is not estopped by his act and conduct from filing the claim. Hence issues no. 3 to 5 are decided in the favour of the petitioner and against the respondent.
RELIEF
20. In view of my discussion on the issues no. 1 to 5 above, the claim petition succeeds and is partly allowed. The period of breaks given to the petitioner by the respondent department are to be counted for the purpose of regular service. Respondent is directed to re-engage the petitioner on muster roll basis forth with and consider the case of regularization of petitioner as per policy of the State. Parties are left to bear their costs.

The following industrial disputes has been received by this court for the purpose of adjudication from the appropriate authority/Deputy Labour Commissioner:—
"Whether the termination of services of Smt. Bimla Devi W/O Shri Pyare Lal, Village Halel, P.O. Kanaid, Tehsil Sunder Nagar, District Mandi, H.P. by (i) The Director, Health Services Himachal Pradesh, Shimla (ii) The Chief Medical Officer, Mandi, District Mandi, H.P.

If not, what relief of reinstatement, back wages, seniority regularization, past service benefits and amount of compensation the above aggrieved workman is entitled to from the above employers?"3105 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 2. The brief facts as stated in the claim petition are that Health Department, Government of Himachal Pradesh filled up some vacancies on different posts against vacant post of regular/permanent employee whose services were retired by government after attaining superannuation. The respondent department required the application of candidates for the post of sweeper and petitioner submitted an application before Chief Medical Officer and then Block Medical Officer, Rohanda called the petitioner for interview. The interviews was conducted and petitioner selected was by the department thereafter she was appointed in the month of January, 2009 in the capacity of sweeper against sanctioned post. She was not however given any appointment letter and no terms and conditions were settled with her by the respondents. It is further submitted that from January, 2009 to 31-8-2023 the work and conduct of the petitioner was satisfactory and upto the mark as she never gave any chance to the respondents for any misconduct and did not receive show cause notice. Her services were satisfactory for the said period and she was getting the salary after a gap of 2 or 3 months as per minimum wages enhanced by the Government of Himachal Pradesh Finance Department time to time. It is alleged that services of petitioner were unlawfully terminated by the respondent no.4 the Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre Kanaid, Tehsil Sunder Nagar, District Mandi, H.P. It is asserted that petitioner completed more than 240 days of work in each and every calendar year from January, 2009 to 31-8-2023. She completed 240 days of work in 12 months immediately preceding her termination thus she was covered in the definition of continuous service under Section 25-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and Section 25-F Clause (b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was also applicable to the petitioner at the time of her termination. It is alleged that respondents have not served any show cause notice to the petitioner for any alleged misconduct nor any inquiry was conducted against her. After the termination of the petitioner respondents appointed new persons on services in her place on outsource basis thus petitioner was unlawfully terminated and deprived of her permanent status of regularization as per policy of the Government. It is alleged that the act and conduct of the respondent amounted to unfair labour practice against the mandatory provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is prayed that the termination order dated 1-8-2023 is liable to be quashed as it violates Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution. Petitioner has prayed that her illegal termination dated 31-7-2023 may be set aside and she be reinstated in her service along-with seniority in service and full back wages. She also prayed that the respondents be directed to pay different arrears of wages in favour of the petitioner after regularizing her services on completion of seven years of continuous service.
3. In reply to the claim petition preliminary objections qua maintainability, concealment of material facts etc. have been raised. It is asserted that petitioner was served with one month's notice before her termination and she was appointed by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and not by the replying respondents. On merits, it is admitted that petitioner was appointed as sweeper by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and she was directed to work at the rate remuneration payable at Rs.600/- month. All the payments were made to the petitioner by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and replying respondents had no concern with it. It is admitted that petitioner worked from April, 2012 till 31-8-2023. She was served one month's notice regarding termination of service as per directions of respondents no.1 and 2 by Secretary Health Government of Himachal Pradesh notification No.HFW-A(2)5/2019 dated 16-8-2021 Jan Arogya Samiti (JAS) was made to function and replaced Rogi Kalyan Samiti at PHC level. The CHC's/CH's are still governed by Rogi Kalyan Samiti guidelines. Respondents have submitted that there is no provisions of keeping part time worker in Primary Health Centre Khurahal. It is also submitted that there is no provisions of hiring manpower for carrying cleanliness/sanitation work at health institutions by Jan Arogya Samiti. Other averments made in the petition were denied and it is prayed that the claim of the petitioner deserves to be dismissed.

REASONS FOR FINDINGS
Issue No. 1 10. The petitioner in her affidavit has asserted that she was engaged as a sweeper under the health department in January, 2009. She was employed at Primary Health Centre, Kanaid under the control of Block Medical Officer Rohanda and Medical Officer Primary Health Centre Kanaid. She has asserted that her selection was made after an interview and was made against existing post3107 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 of sweeper. These averments have been denied on oath by RW1 Dr. Lal Singh who has asserted that petitioner was appointed as sweeper at Rogi Kalyan Samiti. Copy of letter from Medical Officer, Health Mandi to BMO Rohanda forwarding application of petitioner is produced on record as Ext. PW1/B. He also states that all the payments to the petitioner were made by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and replying respondent had no concern with it. He has denied that respondents have called application for the post of sweeper and also interviewed and selected the petitioner as sweeper against the vacant post. It is however admitted partially that petitioner worked from April, 2012 to 31-8-2023. The petitioner has submitted that she continuously worked with the respondent upto 31-8-2023 completed more than 240 days of work in each calendar year and specifically 240 days of work in 12 months preceding her alleged termination. In her cross-examination she has admitted that she was appointed by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and not by the respondents no.1 to 4. She also admits that in the year 2009 she was appointed at maximum wage of Rs.800/- per month and this payment was made to her by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and not by the respondents. She denied that respondents have not asked her to apply for the post of sweeper though she admits that no interview was conducted. She also admits that a notice was issued to her regarding her termination. She admits that in place of Rogi Kalyan Samiti scheme now Jan Arogya Samiti has been constituted at PHC level. She is unaware of the fact that there is no provision for hiring person under Jan Arogya Samiti. She has further asserted that there are regular sweepers and other sweepers who are alternatively doing the work.
11. RW1 Dr. Lal Singh has asserted that the services of Smt. Bimla Devi were disengaged on 1-8-2023 on compliance of guidelines of Jan Arogya Samiti as there was no provisions for hiring manpower under Jan Arogya Samiti. He also asserts that the petitioner was directed to work at the rate remuneration payable Rs. 600/- per month only by Rogi Kalyan Samiti.
12. In his cross-examination he has admitted that petitioner was engaged at Primary Health Centre Kanaid, Tehsil Sunder Nagar, District Mandi. He further admits that Pimary Health Centre Kanaid is working under the control and supervision of Block Medical Officer, Rohanda. He also states that petitioner was engaged by then Rogi Kalyan Samiti which is now named as Jan Arogya Samiti. He admits that no appointment letter was issued to the petitioner by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and added that appointment of petitioner was on the basis of resolution by the samiti and temporary in nature. He has admitted that from the year 2009 upto 31-7-2023 the petitioner had continuously worked with Rogi Kalyan Samiti at PHC Kanaid. He has however mentioned that the petitioner was on part-time basis and during this period she was paid wages continuously. He has alleged that petitioner was asked to work only twice a week on fixed wages. However he has shown his ignorance to the suggestion that part-time workers are appointed for working particular hours per day and not for working on particular days of a week. He admits that Rogi Kalyan Samiti is wing of department of health. He has himself stated that RKS is constituted by members from government, health department, local representative and general members of the society. He further admitted that wages are being paid from resources generated by Rogi Kalyan Samiti now Jan Arogya Samiti. He further admits that services of petitioner were terminated on the basis of Ext. RW1/C. He admits that at the time of retrenchment of the services of petitioner by the respondent department she was not paid any compensation.
13. Learned Authorized Representative/Counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that while terminating the services of the petitioner the respondents have failed to comply with the mandatory provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as she was not paid any compensation or pay in lieu of notice at the time of her disengagement. It is admitted fact that petitioner has worked with respondents from the year 2009 upto 31-7-2023 continuously. There is no distinction made under Section 2 Clause S of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 between a part-time worker and other workmen. Respondents admitted the continuous engagement of the petitioner from the year 2009 upto 31-7-2023 but they have failed to produce the day to day record of the work done by her. It is3108 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 not disputed that she had continuously worked with the respondents so as to make her eligible within the ambit of Section 25 Clause B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
14. The respondents have tried to evade their responsibility with regard to compensation benefits of the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner was appointed by Rogi Kalyan Samiti. It is pertinent to mention here that RW1 Dr. Lal Singh has admitted that Rogi Kalyan Samiti is now named as Jan Arogya Samiti and that the petitioner was engaged at Primary Health Centre Kanaid, Tehsil Sunder Nagar, District Mandi. The proceedings of Rogi Kalyan Samiti which have been produced on record as Ext. RW1/B also show that BMO and AMO are the important members of Rogi Kalyan Samiti. It is an admitted fact that now Jan Arogya Samiti is working in place of Rogi Kalyan Samiti both these institutions are being created and operated by department of health and the officers related to it. The notification regarding the creation of Rogi Kalyan Samiti as well as Jan Arogya Samiti establish that these are created by the Government of Himachal Pradesh and the expenditure of manpower are also made by the Government through respondent department. In these circumstances it cannot be considered that Rogi Kalyan Samiti is an independent institution not working under control and supervision of the present respondents. The termination of the petitioner was carried out on the basis of document Ext. RW1/C which describes one month's notice but no compensation or pay in lieu of notice vide Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 has been paid to the petitioner. This fact has been admitted by RW1 Dr. Lal Singh also. The reference subsequently made to this court is with regard to illegal termination of the services of the petitioner hence confining to the finding to this extent, it is established that respondents have terminated the services of the petitioner without complying with the mandatory provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 it is illegal and unjustified. Issue no.1 is accordingly partly decided in the favour of the petitioner.
Issue No. 2
15. It has been proved from the overwhelming evidence that the services of petitioner were terminated without mandatory compliance of Section 25 Clause F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. There is not enough evidence to show that any other person have been appointed in the place of petitioner after her illegal termination. Thus considering the fact that respondents are proved to have violated the provisions of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the petitioner is held entitled to the relief of reinstatement on similar terms along-with lump sum compensation of Rs.50,000/- to be paid by the respondents to the petitioner. Issue no.2 is decided accordingly.
Issues No. 3, 4 and 5
16. The onus of proving these issues was on the respondent. The maintainability of the claim petition was primarily challenged on the ground that petitioner was appointed by Rogi Kalyan Samiti not by the present respondents. It is proved from evidence on record that Rogi Kalyan Samiti and now named as Jan Arogya Samiti are the instrumentalities of respondents' institution. Since the services of petitioner were terminated in violation of basic provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 the present claim is maintainable. No fact emerged to show that petitioner has concealed the material facts from this court and there was no other necessary party essential for the proper adjudication of the dispute. Hence issues no.3 to 5 are decided in the favour of the petitioner and against the respondents.
RELIEF
17. In view of my discussion on the issues no. 1 to 5 above, the claim petition succeeds and is partly allowed. The petitioner is held entitled to the relief of reinstatement on3109 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 similar terms along-with lump sum compensation of Rs.50,000/- to be paid by the respondents to the petitioner. Parties are left to bear their costs.
18. The reference is answered in aforesaid terms. A copy of this Award be sent to the appropriate Government for publication in the official gazette. File after due completion be consigned to the Record Room.

If not, what relief of reinstatement, back wages, seniority regularization, past service benefits and amount of compensation the above aggrieved workman is entitled to from the above employers?"
2. The brief facts as stated in the claim petition are that Health Department, Government of Himachal Pradesh filled up some vacancies on different posts against vacant post of regular/permanent employee whose services were retired by government after attaining superannuation. The respondent department required the application of candidates for the post of sweeper and petitioner submitted an application before Chief Medical Officer and then Block Medical Officer, Rohanda called the petitioner for interview. The interviews was conducted and petitioner was selected by the department thereafter she was appointed in the month of January, 2008 in the capacity of sweeper against sanctioned post. She was not however given any appointment letter and no terms and conditions were settled with her by the respondents. It is further submitted that from January, 2008 to 31-8-2023 the work and conduct of the petitioner was satisfactory and upto the mark as she never gave any chance to the respondents for any misconduct and did not receive show cause notice. Her services were satisfactory for the said period and she was getting the salary after a gap of 2/3 months as per minimum wages enhanced by the Government of Himachal Pradesh Finance Department time to time. It is alleged that services of petitioner were unlawfully terminated by the respondent no.4 the Medical Officer, Primary Health Centre Khurahal, Tehsil Sunder Nagar, District Mandi, H.P. It is asserted that petitioner completed more than 240 days of work in each and every calendar year from January, 2008 to 31-8-2023. She completed 240 days of work in 12 months immediately preceding her termination thus she was covered in the definition of continuous service under Section 25-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and Section 25-F Clause (b) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 was also applicable to the petitioner at the time of her termination. It is alleged that respondents have not served any show cause notice to the petitioner for any alleged misconduct nor any inquiry was conducted against her. After the termination of the petitioner respondents appointed new persons on services in her place on outsource basis thus petitioner was unlawfully terminated and deprived of her permanent status of regularization as per policy of the Government. It is alleged that the act and conduct of the respondent amounted to unfair labour practice against the mandatory provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is prayed that the termination order dated 1-8-2023 is liable to be quashed as it violates Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution. Petitioner has prayed that her illegal termination dated 1-8-2023 may be set aside and she be reinstated in her service along-with seniority in service and full back wages. She also prayed that the respondents be directed to pay different arrears of wages in favour of the petitioner after regularizing her services on completion of seven years of continuous service.
3. In reply to the claim petition preliminary objections qua maintainability, concealment of material facts etc. have been raised. It is asserted that petitioner was served with one month's notice before her termination and she was appointed by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and not by the replying respondents. On merits, it is admitted that petitioner was appointed as sweeper by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and she was directed to work two times in a week. Her maximum wages were fixed Rs.800/- per month in the year 2009. All the payments were made to the petitioner by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and replying respondents had no concern with it. It is admitted that petitioner worked from January, 2009 till 31-8-2023. She was served one month's notice regarding termination of service as per directions of respondents no.1 and 2 by Secretary Health Government of Himachal Pradesh notification No.HFW-A(2)5/2019 dated 16-8-2021 Jan Arogya Samiti was made to function and replaced Rogi Kalyan Samiti at PHC level.

In her cross-examination she has admitted that she was appointed by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and not by the respondents no.1 to 4. She also admits that in the year 2009 she was appointed at minimum wage of Rs. 800/- per month and this payment was made to her by Rogi Kalyan Samiti and not by the respondents. She denied that respondents have not asked her to apply for the post of sweeper though she admits that no interview was conducted. She also admits that a notice was issued to her regarding her termination. She admits that in place of Rogi Kalyan Samiti scheme now Jan Arogya Samiti has been constituted at PHC level. She is unaware of fat that there is no provision for hiring person under Jan Arogya Samiti. She has further asserted that there are regular sweepers and other sweepers who are alternatively doing the work.
11. RW1 Dr. Lal Singh has asserted that the services of Smt.

He also asserts that the petitioner was directed to work at the rate remuneration payable Rs. 600/- per month only by Rogi Kalyan Samiti.
12. In his cross-examination he has admitted that petitioner was engaged at Primary Health Centre Khurahal, Tehsil Sunder Nagar, District Mandi. He further admits that Pimary Health Centre Khurahal is working under the control and supervision of Block Medical Officer, Rohanda. He also states that petitioner was engaged by then Rogi Kalyan Samiti which is now named as Jan Arogya Samiti. He admits that no appointment letter was issued to the petitioner by Rogi Kalyan Samiti.

3113 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 194813. Learned Authorized Representative/Counsel for the petitioner has vehemently argued that while terminating the services of the petitioner the respondents have failed to comply with the mandatory provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as she was not paid any compensation or pay in lieu of notice at the time of her disengagement. It is important to peruse the document Ext. RW1/B the document pertains to approval for providing of sweeper services at PHC Khurahal. The careful perusal of document shows that though the services was temporary but were to be provided during institutional hours and also as and when on requirement basis. It is admitted fact that petitioner has worked with respondents from the year 2012 upto 31-7-2023 continuously. There is no distinction made under Section 2 Clause S of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 between a part- time worker and other workmen. Respondents admitted the continuous engagement of the petitioner from the year 2012 upto 31-7-2023 but they have failed to produce the day to day record of the work done by her. It is not disputed that she had continuously worked with the respondents so as to make her eligible within the ambit of Section 25 Clause B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
14. The respondents have tried to evade their responsibility with regard to compensation benefits of the petitioner on the ground that the petitioner was appointed by Rogi Kalyan Samiti. It is pertinent to mention here that RW1 Dr. Lal Singh has admitted that Rogi Kalyan Samiti is now named as Jan Arogya Samiti and that the petitioner was engaged at Primary Health Centre Khurahal, Tehsil Sunder Nagar, District Mandi. The proceedings of Rogi Kalyan Samiti which have been produced on record as Ext. PW1/D also show that BMO and AMO are the important members of Rogi Kalyan Samiti. The appointment of petitioner was also made by Secretary Rogi Kalyan Samiti-cum-Medical Officer Incharge, Primary Health Centre, Khurahal, District Mandi vide Ext. RW1/B. It is an admitted fact that now Jan Arogya Samiti is working in place of Rogi Kalyan Samiti both these institutions are being created and operated by department of health and the officers related to it. The notification regarding the creation of Rogi Kalyan Samiti as well as Jan Arogya Samiti establish that these are created by the Government of Himachal Pradesh and the expenditure of manpower are also made by the Government through respondent department. In these circumstances it cannot be considered that Rogi Kalyan Samiti is an independent institution not working under control and supervision of the present respondents. The termination of the petitioner was carried out on the basis of document Ext. RW1/C which describes one month's notice but no compensation or pay in lieu of notice vide Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 has been paid to the petitioner. This fact has been admitted by RW1 Dr. Lal Singh also. The reference subsequently made to this court is with regard to illegal termination of the services of the petitioner hence confining to the finding to this extent, it is established that respondents have terminated the services of the petitioner without complying with the mandatory provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 it is illegal and unjustified. Issue no.1 is accordingly partly decided in the favour of the petitioner.
Issue No. 2
15. It has been proved from the overwhelming evidence that the services of petitioner were terminated without mandatory compliance of Section 25 Clause F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. There is not enough evidence to show that any other person have been appointed in the place of petitioner after her illegal termination. Thus considering the fact that respondents are proved to have violated the provisions of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the petitioner is held entitled to the relief of reinstatement on similar terms along-with lump sum compensation of Rs.50,000/- to be paid by the respondents to the petitioner. Issue no. 2 is decided accordingly.
Issues No. 3, 4 and 5
16. The onus of proving these issues was on the respondent. The maintainability of the claim petition was primarily challenged on the ground that petitioner was appointed by Rogi3114 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 Kalyan Samiti not by the present respondents. It is proved from evidence on record that Rogi Kalyan Samiti and now named as Jan Arogya Samiti are the instrumentalities of respondents' institution. Since the services of petitioner were terminated in violation of basic provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 the present claim is maintainable. No fact emerged to show that petitioner has concealed the material facts from this court and there was no other necessary party essential for the proper adjudication of the dispute. Hence issues no.3 to 5 are decided in the favour of the petitioner and against the respondents.
RELIEF
17. In view of my discussion on the issues no. 1 to 5 above, the claim petition succeeds and is partly allowed. The petitioner is held entitled to the relief of reinstatement on similar terms along-with lump sum compensation of Rs. 50,000/- to be paid by the respondents to the petitioner. Parties are left to bear their costs.

The one month's mandatory wages were also not paid to the petitioner and as such termination was illegal, void and bad in law under Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Neither the compensation payable under Section 25-F (b) of Industrial Disputes Act was paid nor tendered to be paid till date as the termination of petitioner was illegal void ab initio as well as the termination of the petitioner was without any reason and based on hire and fire policy only. It is asserted that while terminating the services of the petitioner the action of the respondent was without any reason, rules and against the spirit of Industrial Disputes Act. It is alleged that once the Labour Inspector had sent the case to the appropriate authority, the respondent initiated fictitious so-called enquiry which was mere an eye wash and nothing else. It is further alleged that the allegations made against the petitioner were false and fictitious and one sided enquiry was not tenable in the eyes of law, the same was clear from memorandum dated 17-10-2014 and the same was issued after 20 months and during this period no allowance of salary or other benefits were given to the petitioner. In accordance with the memorandum respondent had alleged that petitioner and others committed theft of GI Sheets however the GI Sheets were located by the respondent near four way security office of respondent where all the material was stacked and as such there was no theft and no FIR and the conclusion of inquiry was totally false and wrong just to harass the petitioner malafidely and the same is bad in the eyes of law. It is alleged that proper enquiry procedure was not followed by the respondent and the statement of petitioner was written by the respondent employees on its own. It is alleged that there was no independent enquiry conducted by the enquiry officer and no defence assistance was provided to the petitioner. The conclusion of respondent qua hut of petitioner is altogether wrong false incurred and denied. The respondent had not produced any revenue document i.e. parcha jamabandi and in the absence of such documents the conclusion in enquiry was clearly malafide and same was biased against the petitioner. The petitioner is unemployed yet and hand to mouth without any job. The petitioner through counsel Shri Diya Bhanu Singh, Advocate Palampur had served legal notice which was duly replied on 23-12-2013 wherein the respondent levelled false and frivolous allegation against petitioner which were not inquired and no enquiry was constituted. It is asserted that the juniors were retained in service and thereafter he (petitioner) had approached various authorities but of no avail. It is asserted that the present petition is maintainable and the impugned termination order of petitioner had visited him with evil consequence and the same could not have been passed without notice or prior hearing just to comply with the minimum requirement of law, fairness and principles of natural justice. Petitioner alleged that the respondent has violated Article 14 to 16 of Constitution and violated the principles of natural justice. It is asserted that the3116 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 action of the respondent was illegal, arbitrary, malafide, unconstitutional and against the principle of natural justice and as such liable to be set aside and the present reference be honoured. Petitioner has submitted that he has not suppressed any facts having approached the court with clean hand and the petitioner is not estopped in any manner to file the present complaint. There was no matter registered in police against the petitioner as no offence at any point of time had been committed by him. The petitioner had never abandoned the service of respondents however he was illegally terminated from services. There was no wilful absence of the petitioner from the job from 29-3-2023 as no charge sheet, no inquiry or show cause notice were given to the petitioner before his termination. It is alleged that the termination of the petitioner was illegal, void and bad in the eyes of law as per Section 25-F (b) of the Industrial Disputes Act. At the time of termination of the services of petitioner he was discharged from his duties in the capacity of semi skilled worker. While terminating the services of the petitioner the respondents management had retained juniors workers to the petitioner namely Sh. Ranjeet Singh (1-4-2007), Surender (2-4-2008), Ram Singh (1-7-2007), Rakesh Kumar (1-7-2008), Surjeet Kumar (11-4-2009) and Roshan Lal (11-4-2009) clearly violated the provisions of Section 25-G of the Industrial Disputes Act. It is further submitted that when petitioner came to know from reliable sources that after his termination the management respondents appointed new person in his place without affording him an opportunity was clearly violative of the provisions of Section 25-H of the Industrial Disputes Act. It is submitted that the demand notice was issued to the respondent with regard to his unlawful termination and copy of the same was forwarded to the Labour Inspector-cum-Conciliation Officer, Palampur but no reply to the demand notice was filed by the respondents. In view of the above, the petitioner prayed that illegal termination of petitioner i.e. 28-3-2013 may be set aside and quashed and respondents be directed to reinstate the service of the petitioner with full back wages, seniority, continuity of service and all other consequential service benefits.
3. In reply to the claim petition preliminary submissions qua suppression of material facts and petitioner not coming to the court with clean hands have been raised. On merits, it is submitted that the petitioner was initially engaged as unskilled worker from July, 2006 to March, 2011 and elevated subsequently as a semi skilled worker from April, 2001 with the company. His services were never dispensed with on 28-3-2013 as claimed by him. It is asserted that the services of the petitioner were not terminated in the year 2013 w.e.f. 28-3-2013 as alleged by the petitioner hence the question of observance of the provisions of 25-F of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 do not arise. It is alleged that petitioner stopped to attend the office at his own in order to evade the inquiry ordered against him by the management. During the course of conciliation proceedings it was on persuasion of the Labour Inspector, Palampur as on 27-10-2014 whereas the petitioner agreed to associate himself in the inquiry ordered against him. Inquiry was conducted against him affording full opportunity to defend himself and he was also given option to engage his defence assistance or defend himself at his own. He elected the later one and refused to engage any defence assistant for the purpose and eight number of hearings were fixed in the inquiry. He was given full opportunity to cross-examine the prosecution witnesses and to produce his own witnesses. Efforts were made to extend full opportunity to him as guaranteed under natural cannons of justice. After perusal of inquiry report received from the inquiry officer and as such the respondent issued show cause notice on 30-5-2015 to show the cause within stipulated period as to why he should not be removed from service keeping in view the gravity of charges proven against him in the inquiry. On receipt of the notice the petitioner had apprehended his removal from service approached the labour inspector and thereafter his demand note/application was forwarded to the Labour Commissioner by the labour inspector was culminated in the instant reference dated 8-9-2016 before the petitioner was removed from service vide respondent order No.OHL/Admin/2015-16/Lr.2, dated 21-10-2015 w.e.f. 29-3-2013 the date from which he (petitioner) was on wilful absence. It is submitted that the assertions made by the petitioner with regard to incidents about theft of armoured cable and G1 sheets are totally denied as the same stand at variance of the facts. After the theft of the cable on 26-3-2013 the inquiry was ordered against the individual and memorandum containing details of3117 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 charges was served upon the petitioner. Inquiry was conducted by the inquiry officer impartially observed all fait accompli principles outlined for such inquiries and affording full opportunity to the petitioner as per cannons of natural justice. It is nonetheless added that a tin roofed hut a stop gap arrangement was situated at a place named Kaun Area at a distance of approximately 400m from Valve House and Forebay site of the project. The petitioner and his family member belong to nomadic tribe which move hither and thither with their livestock for grazing in meadows located in adjoining mountains and the same was used by the petitioner and his family. It is asserted that the petitioner was removed from service as a result of disciplinary action taken against him for the charges contained in the charge-sheet served upon him. Therefore his case was not governed by the provisions of retrenchment as contained in Industrial Disputes Act. It is asserted that the petitioner had filed an application before the Labour Inspector after prolonged period of 17 months ensued from the date of his wilful absence. It is asserted that the services of petitioner were dispensed with following disciplinary proceedings. It is asserted that provisions of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act are not attracted in the petitioner's case. All other averments made parawise in the petition are denied and it is prayed that the petition deserves to be dismissed.

REASONS FOR FINDINGS
Issue No.1 & 1(a)
10. Both these issues are taken up together for the purpose of adjudication
11. The fact that petitioner was working as semi-skilled worker with the respondents continuously from 1-7-2006 to 28-3-2013 having completed 240 days service in each calendar year is not explicitly denied by the respondents. It is admitted that petitioner was an employee of respondents. The petitioner has alleged that on 28-3-20213 his services were illegally terminated consequent to which he had sent a demand notice dated 16-8-2014. RW1 Shri Dinesh Kumar, Deputy Manager, Om Hydropower Limited has however alleged that in April, 2012 CGI tin sheets stacked for construction of labour sheds were got stolen and on search some CGI sheets were recovered from the hut of petitioner in forest adjacent to the fore-bay site. This indicated his involvement in the theft of CGI sheets. The petitioner was laid off by verbal warnings. Again on 26-3-2013 another theft took place. The costly armoured electrical cable was cut at some point located nearby the fore-bay site and two persons at distance from the place of location were seen collecting cut pieces of cable and they fled taking advantage of darkness and ran away towards the hut of petitioner. The axe and scissor were found on the spot which belonged to the petitioner. Some parts of stolen cable were also burnt near the hut of Piar Chand (petitioner). The matter was reported to police and after interrogation by police the unburnt piece of cable were also recovered pointing towards the involvement of the petitioner in the theft. A suspension order and charge-sheet were prepared and the company was constrained to conduct a domestic inquiry. The petitioner did not report to work after 29-3-2015. After the receipt of notice from the Labour-cum-Conciliation Officer the inquiry proceedings were resumed as petitioner had earlier refused memorandum issued3119 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 to him. Learned Authorized Representative for the petitioner has argued that after passing suspension order no just and proper inquiry was initiated by the respondents. He submitted that no headquarters were fixed and no suspension allowance was paid to the petitioner. This made the petitioner not to attend the company premises consequently the demand notice was issued by petitioner against his illegal termination. The learned Authorized Representative/Counsel has also argued that the service petitioner was actually terminated on 29-3-2013 and no inquiry was initiated until the issuance of demand notice and appearance before Labour-cum-Conciliation Officer. There was no involvement of the petitioner in the alleged theft as no FIR was registered against him and no criminal proceedings were initiated. The inquiry proceedings were also not in accordance with the rules, procedure and principles of natural justice as disciplinary authority appeared as witness during the alleged inquiry proceedings. No opportunity of defense was ever afforded to the petitioner. No subsistence allowance was paid during alleged suspension period or even the period of alleged inquiry.
12. Learned Counsel for the respondents has however argued that the petitioner had deliberately absented from duty after 29-3-2013 and he refused the service of memorandum. On the directions of Labour Inspector petitioner agreed to cooperate in the inquiry and after just and proper inquiry proceedings his guilt was proved and his services were accordingly terminated. He has submitted that the opportunity of defense was duly afforded to the petitioner.
13. The daily station diary entry Ext. RW1/D shows that a complaint was made by Shri Ram Swaroop regarding the theft of wires belonging to respondents company. The burnt piece of wire and some cut pieces were also recovered. The petitioner was called for inquiry however nothing else transpired from the police record. The daily diary entry is dated 2-4-2013. The complaint was made before the police on 28-3-2013 vide Ext. RW1/D and suspension is dated 29-3-2013 Ext. RW1/E. It is alleged that petitioner had refused to accept memorandum vide report Ext. RW1/E. As pointed out by the learned Authorized Representative/Counsel for the petitioner there is no witness on record in the said report in whose presence the petitioner had refused to receive memorandum from official of the company. There is no charge-sheet pertaining to the petitioner or record of any other proceedings around that period. The suspension order did not mention when a domestic inquiry would be undertaken nor the explanation of the petitioner was called with regard to the memorandum issued to him. The respondents company neither prepared a charge-sheet nor proceedings of inquiry continued after the issuance of memorandum Ext. RW1/C. It is alleged that the petitioner had absented himself from the work but no suspension allowance was fixed nor he was asked to visit headquarter during alleged inquiry. The company had practically terminated the services of the petitioner after the suspension order and the salary of the petitioner was also not paid. It was only on the issuance of demand notice and appearance of parties before the Labour-cum-Conciliation Officer when the inquiry proceedings were resumed and allegedly the charge-sheet was served on the petitioner. There is again no documentary proof of service of charge-sheet and inquiry proceedings undertaken by the Inquiry Officer had not been produced nor any notice to participate in the inquiry was given to petitioner. It is not shown that during conduct of inquiry proceedings any suspension allowance was given. The unexplained delay in initiating inquiry proceedings does not appear be to the advantage of respondents company who had an option to proceed exparte in case memorandum/suspension order was duly served on the petitioner.
14. RW1 Shri Dinesh Kumar has admitted that no FIR was got registered against the petitioner. He had admitted that charge-sheet was issued by him. He has admitted that charge-sheet was not sent through registered post nor service of petitioner was done by way of publication. He has admitted that Shri Arvind Bhardwaj was appointed as Inquiry Officer and Shri Vinod Kumar was Presenting Officer by him. He admits that Arvind Bhardwaj was subordinate. He has stated that inquiry was internal and not a domestic inquiry. He admits that he appeared as witness in the3120 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 inquiry proceedings at serial no. 7. The inquiry officer Arvind Bhardwaj has admitted that the Shri Dinesh Kumar was appointing authority of the petitioner. He also admits that during inquiry no witness had deposed that the petitioner had committed theft in his presence. He admits that Dinesh Kumar had deposed as witness in the proceedings and record of proceedings is not produced in the court. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in State of Uttar Pradesh v. Saroj Kumar Sinha, 2010 2 SCC 772 has also held as follows:—
"27. A bare perusal of the aforesaid sub-rule shows that when the respondent had failed to submit the explanation to the charge-sheet it was incumbent upon the inquiry officer to fix a date for his appearance in the inquiry. It is only in a case when the government servant despite notice of the date fixed failed to appear that the inquiry officer can proceed with the inquiry ex parte. Even in such circumstances it is incumbent on the inquiry officer to record the statement of witnesses mentioned in the charge-sheet. Since the government servant is absent, he would clearly lose the benefit of cross-examination of the witnesses. But nonetheless in order to establish the charges the Department is required to produce the necessary evidence before the inquiry officer. This is so as to avoid the charge that the inquiry officer has acted as a prosecutor as well as a judge.
28. An inquiry officer acting in a quasi-judicial authority is in the position of an independent adjudicator. He is not supposed to be a representative of the department/disciplinary authority/Government. His function is to examine the evidence presented by the Department, even in the absence of the delinquent official to see as to whether the unrebutted evidence is sufficient to hold that the charges are proved. In the present case the aforesaid procedure has not been observed. Since no oral evidence has been examined the documents have not been proved, and could not have been taken into consideration to conclude that the charges have been proved against the respondents.
30. When a departmental enquiry is conducted against the government servant it cannot be treated as a casual exercise. The enquiry proceedings also cannot be conducted with a closed mind. The inquiry officer has to be wholly unbiased. The rules of natural justice are required to be observed to ensure not only that justice is done but is manifestly seen to be done. The object of rules of natural justice is to ensure that a government servant is treated fairly in proceedings which may culminate in imposition of punishment including dismissal/removal from service."
15. Similarly the Hon'ble Supreme Court in Mohd. Yunus Khan v. State of Uttar Pradesh, 2010 10 SCC 539 has held as follows:—
"28. In Arjun Chaubey v. Union of India [(1984) 2 SCC 578 : 1984 SCC (L&S) 290 : AIR 1984 SC 1356] a Constitution Bench of this Court dealt with an identical case wherein an employee serving in the Northern Railway had been dismissed by the Deputy Chief Commercial Superintendent on a charge of misconduct which concerned himself, after considering by himself the explanation given by the employee against the charge and after thinking that the employee was not fit to be retained in service. It was also considered whether in such a case, the Court should deny the relief to the employee, even if the Court comes to the conclusion that the order of punishment stood vitiated on the ground that the employee had been guilty of habitual acts of indiscipline/misconduct. This Court held that the order of dismissal passed against the employee stood3121 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 vitiated as it was in utter disregard of the principles of natural justice. The main thrust of the charges against the employee related to his conduct qua the disciplinary authority itself, therefore, it was not open to the disciplinary authority to sit in judgment over the explanation furnished by the employee and decide against the delinquent. No person could be a judge in his own cause and no witness could certify that his own testimony was true. Anyone who had a personal stake in an enquiry must have kept himself aloof from the enquiry. The Court further held that in such a case it could not be considered that the employee did not deserve any relief from the Court since he was habitually guilty of acts subversive of discipline. The illegality from which the order of dismissal passed by the authority concerned suffered was of a character so grave and fundamental that the alleged habitual misbehavior of the delinquent employee could not cure or condone it.
29. Thus, the legal position emerges that if a person appears as a witness in disciplinary proceedings, he cannot be an enquiry officer nor can he pass the order of punishment as a disciplinary authority. This rule has been held to be sacred. An apprehension of bias operates as a disqualification for a person to act as adjudicator. No person can be a judge in his own cause and no witness can certify that his own testimony is true. Anyone who has personal interest in the disciplinary proceedings must keep himself away from such proceedings. The violation of the principles of natural justice renders the order null and void.
16. It is already mentioned that the respondents company had dispensed with the services of petitioner before conclusion of inquiry. No suspension allowance was fixed and no inquiry was conducted after 29-3-2013. Subsequently the inquiry was resumed and again the disciplinary authority himself appeared as witness during proceedings. The respondents has violated the basic tenets of natural justice which need to be followed in conducting a domestic inquiry so as to ensure fair trial while concluding the guilt and imposing penalty on the petitioner. The inquiry officer relied on circumstance which was not considered enough by the police to implicate the petitioner for the alleged theft of offence. On one hand suspension order was issued without fixing the suspension allowance and headquarter of the petitioner during suspension, on the other hand charge of wilful absence were also made against the petitioner. The fact that respondents has not made efforts to continue the inquiry proceedings after issuance of suspension orders itself points towards the termination of the petitioner without following due process as on 29-3-2013. The inquiry by the respondents was belated, and non est in the eyes of law. The services of petitioner were dispensed with without due process and without compliance of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. In these circumstances issues no.1 and 1 (a) are partly decided in the favour of the petitioner.
Issue No. 2
17. The petitioner had been working with the respondents from the year 2006 till March, 2013. His services were terminated without following the procedure established by law and in violation of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. As submitted by learned AR/Counsel for petitioner that he has attained the age of 58 years. In these circumstances the petitioner is held entitled for lump sum compensation of Rs. 2 lakh along-with interest @ 6% from date of illegal termination till recovery of the amount. for non compliance of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. This issue is decided accordingly.
Issues No. 3 & 4
18. The onus of proving these issues was on the respondent. It is argued by learned counsel for the respondents that petitioner was guilty of theft of property of respondent company more than3122 राजपत्र, हिमाचल प्रदेश, 22 मई, 2026/01 ज्येष्ठ, 1948 once and himself absented from work. In these circumstances he was not entitled for the claim put forward by him. Facts to the contrary have appeared from the evidence on record. In these circumstances the petitioner is not concealed any material facts from this court nor he has estopped by his act and conduct to file the present claim. Thus issues no. 3 and 4 are also decided in the favour of the petitioner.
RELIEF
19. In view of my discussion on the issues no. 1 to 4 above, the claim petition succeeds and is partly allowed. The petitioner is held entitled for lump sum compensation of Rs. 2 lakhs along-with interest @ 6% for non compliance of the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 by the respondents. Parties are left to bear their costs.
20. The reference is answered in aforesaid terms. A copy of this Award be sent to the appropriate Government for publication in the official gazette. File after due completion be consigned to the Record Room.
Announced in the open Court today, this 26th day of February, 2026.
