Petition under section 33 ( c ) , sub- section (2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 read with section 15 , sub- section ( 3 ) of the Payment of Wages Act for recovery of the amount of leave salary due to the petitioner.

Award
1. This is a direct industrial dispute filed by the workman under section 33 ( c ) sub- section (2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 read with section 15 , sub - section ( 3 ) of Payment of Wages Act for recovery of the amount of leave salary due to the petitioner ( hereinafter to be referred as the " Act " ) . It is stated in the claim by the workman that he was appointed as Orderly on 01-07-1965 in J & K Project Construction Corporation , Srinagar and retired on 31-01-2002 .
2. The petitioner was given the leave salary for four (4 ) months only at the time of his retirement. The petitioner has further contended that respondent , JKPCC was brought within the domain of the State Government vide SRO No. 27 dated 05-02-1998 and the rules and regulations as applicable to the employees of the State are also applicable to the employees of the JKPCC . Since all the rules and regulations as per CSR are applicable to the State Government Employees , so the petitioner was also entitled to the same privileges as of the State Government Employees at par .
No.46-18 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 / 24th Magha , 1935. 3
3. That as per SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 all the Government Employees are entitled to 10 months leave salary so the petitioner is also entitle to leave salary of 10 months equivalent 300 days . The petitioner has been given only 4 months leave salary and 6 months leave salary is outstanding . The leave salary being the retirement benefit falls within the provisions of section 33 ( c ) ( 2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is also submitted by the petitioner that he has been deceived and dogged by the respondent and due to the inaction of the respondent , the petitioner has filed the present petition seeking the recovery of outstanding leave salary of six months along with interest and compensation on account of mental agony of the petitioner.
4. Upon being served , the respondent filed the objections , enter alia pleading that the petitioner is the employee of the corporation who has got all the pensionary benefits as admissible under the corporation rules . It is further submitted that no cause of action has accrued to the petitioner as he has received all the pensionary benefits along with the other retired personnel of the corporation . The corporation has its own service rules and as per the rules , the corporation pays salary, gratuity etc. to its employees from its own resources , no budget support is made by the Centre or State Government . The respondent has admitted that as per the approval of the Competent Authority of the Corporation ( JKPCC ) , the J & K Service ( Leave Rules ) have been incorporated and made admissible to the employees of the corporation w . e . f. 01-04-2008 and prior to 01- 04-2008 the employees of the corporation were entitled to only 120 days leave encashment as per rules and regulations of JKPCC . The employees of JKPCC were entitled to only 120 days leave encashment and the same has been paid to the petitioner. After a long gap , the petitioner has disputed the leave salary which cannot be permitted at the belated stage.
5. The petitioner has relied upon the photostat copy of service book and one certificate of last pay drawn certificate duly issued by the D. D. O.
4 The J& K Govt . Gazette, 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-18
Heard and considered .
6. The petitioner has reiterated the contents of the petition in his arguments whereas the counsel for the respondent prayed for the dismissal of the petition on the plea of no cause of action has accrued to the petitioner and the statement of claim is not maintainable on the ground of latches/belated stage .
7. The moot question for the adjudication by this tribunal is that whether the workman is entitle to leave salary of 300 days and if so whether the said claim is maintainable under section 33c (2 ) of I. D. Act , 1947. To answer this question it is apt to reproduce section 33c ( 2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 which reads as under :-
"Where any workman is entitled to receive from the employer any money or any benefit which is capable of being computed in terms of money and if any question arises as to the amount of money due or as to the amount at which such benefit should be computed then the question may subject to any rules that may be made under this Act be decided by such Labour Court as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government within a period not exceeding three months provided where the Presiding Officer of Labour Court cornsiders it necessary and expedient so to do he may for the reasons to be recorded in writing extend such period by such further period as he may think fit . "
8. It is also pertinent to reproduce section 15 , sub- section (3 ) of
:-
Payment of Wages Act which reads as under
"When any application under sub - section (2 ) is entertained , the authority shall hear the applicant and the employer or the other person responsible for payment of wages under section 3 , or give them an opportunity of being heard and after such further inquiry ( if any) as may be necessary , may, without prejudice to any other penalty to which such employer or other person is liable under this Act, direct the refund to the -employed person of the amount deducted , or the payment of delayed wages , together with the payment of such No.46-18 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935.5
compensation as the authority may think fit , not exceeding ten times the amount deducted in the former case and [ not exceeding twenty - five rupees in the later, and even if the amount deducted or the delayed wages are paid before the disposal of the application , direct the payment of such compensation , as the authority may think fit , not exceeding two thousand rupees ] " .
9. The Ld . Council for the respondent has argued that in a case entitled " Krishan Prasad Gupta V. Controller , Printing and Stationery" , published as AIR 1996 Supreme Court 408 , the Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed that-
"The character and function of the Labour Court under the Industrial Disputes Act , as also the authority under the Payment of Wages Act are similar in purpose and both are designed to produce the same result particularly as some of the provisions under both the Act prescribe the same thing to be done . The Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 and the Payment of Wages Act , 1936 are , therefore , "Corresponding Law " qua each other particularly as both are part of the same social legislative canopy made by the Parliament for immediate amelioration of workmen's plight resulting from non - payment , or delayed payment , or , for that matter , short payment of their wages ."
10. In AIR 2010 Supreme Court 3563 in a case entitled " Vijay Bank V. Shyamal Kumar Lodh " the same view was taken . It was observed that-
" 12. From a plain reading of section 33c (2 ) it is evident that money due to a workman has to be decided by such Labour Court " as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government " . Section 7 of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 inter alia confers power to the appropriate Government for constitution of one or mare Labour Courts for the adjudication of industrial disputes . It also prescribes qualification for appointment as Presiding Officer of a Labour Court .
6 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha , 1935. [ No. 46-18
Explanation appended to section 33c of the Act provides to include any court constituted under any law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State as Labour Court . The underlying object behind inserting explanation seems to be varying qualification prescribed for appointment of Presiding officers of Labour Court by different State enactments . The Parliament took note of the fact while different kinds of Labour Courts constituted under Industrial Disputes Act and State Acts and a question may arise whether a Labour Court constituted under Acts , Central or State could entertain a claim made under section 33c ( 2 ) of the Act .
13. An explanation is appended ordinarily to a section to explain the meaning of works contained in that section . In view of the explanation aforesaid Labour Court shall include any Court constituted under any law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State . Money due to an employee under section 33c (2 ) is to be decided by " Labour Court as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government " . Therefore , the expression " Labour Court " in section 33c ( 2 ) has to be given an extended meaning so as to include Court constituted under any law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State . It widens the choice of appropriate Government and it can specify not only the Labour Courts constituted under section 7 of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 but such other Courts constituted under any other law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State . "
11. So in view of the above , it is safe to hold that this tribunal is competent to adjudicate dispute raised by the workman .
12. From the perusal of record it is established which is not also disputed by the respondent that the petitioner hereinabove was an employee of the JKPCC . It has also been admitted by the respondent that J & K Service ( Leave ) Rules have been made applicable to the employees of No. 46-18 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/ 24th Magha , 1935. 7
JKPCC with effect from 01-04-2008 dated 10-07-2008 and prior to 1- 04-2008 the employees of JKPCC were entitled to 120 days leave encashment and after 1-04-2008 when the J & K Service ( Leave ) Rules were made applicable to the employees of the corporation . It is also not out of place to mention that against the clear admission of the respondents there was no scope for this tribunal to hold further enquiry.
13. To solve the controversy it is profitable to reproduce SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 which reads as under :-
"Notification
Dated Jammu , the 17th April , 1998 .
SRO - 124 . In exercise of the powers conferred by proviso to section 124 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, the Governor is pleased to direct that the following amendments shall be made in the J & K Civil Services Regulations , J & K , Civil Services ( Leave ) Rules , 1979 and J & K Civil Services ( LTC ) Rules , 1996 :-
II . In J & K Civil Services ( Leave ) Rules , 1979-
(a) The following shall be inserted as 2nd proviso below Rule 26 ( b ) ( 1 ) : —
"Provided that with effect from 01-07-1997 , the maximum limit for accumulation of Earned Leave shall be 300 days " .
(b) The following shall be inserted as proviso below Rule 37( 2 ) ( 1 ) :-
"Provided that with effect from 01-07-1997 , the payment of cash equivalent of leave salary shall be limited to a maximum of 300 days of Earned Leave" .
Cash in lieu of leave salary.-( 1 ) A Government servant may be paid cash equivalent of leave salary in respect of period of Earned Leave at his credit at the time of retirement on superannuation .
8 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [ No. 46-18
This concession will be subject to the following conditions :-
(i ) The payment of cash equivalent of leave salary shall be limited to a maximum of 240 days of Earned Leave ;
( ii) The cash equivalent of leave salary thus admissible will become payable on retirement and will be paid in one lump sum as a one time settlement ;
(iii ) Cash payment will be equal to leave salary admissible for Earned Leave and dearness allowance admissible on the leave salary at the rates in vogue on the date of retirement . No other allowance like Compensatory Allowance , Border Allowance , Muffasil Allowance , House Rent Allowance or any other allowance will be admissible as part of leave salary.
14. The purport of SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 is that the State Government Employees regulated under the JKPCC , CSR , J & K Civil Service ( Leave ) Rules , 1979 and J & K Civil Service Rules ( LTC ) is entitled to maximum limit for accumulation of Earned Leave of 300 days w. e . f. 01-07-1997 .
15. As per Article 82 of sub- clause ( V) of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of JKPCC the Directors shall have the powers with the sanction of the Governor , i . e . to say-
" (V) To appoint and promote and at their discretion remove , retire or suspend such managers , secretaries , officers , clerks , agents and servants , for permanent , temporary or special service as they may, from time to time think fit and to determine their powers and duties and fix their salaries and emoluments and to require security in such installments and to such amount as they think fit provided that no appointment the maximum pay of which is Rs . 3000 or more per mensum shall be made without the prior approval or the Governor :
Provided that such appointment , retirement and removal shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service Rules , 1956 , Government Servant No.46-18 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 / 24th Magha , 1935. 9
Conduct Rules , Recruitment Rules and other service rules and regulations in force in the State from time to time . "
16. The next leg of the arguments is that JKPCC has adopted the J& K Civil Service Rules , 1979 , Civil Service ( Medical Attendance and Allowance ) Rules , 1990 and T /E Rules vide Order No. 82 dated 10-07- 2008. It is imperative to reproduce the Order No. 82/2008 passed by the respondent , JKPCC , which reads as under :-
"Subject : Implementation of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service (Leave ) Rules , 1979 , Civil Services ( Medical Attendance and Allowance ) Rules , 1990 and T. A. Rules .
Reference :-Decision taken by the Budget/Establishment Sub -Committee of JKPCC Ltd. under the Chairmanship of Commissioner / Secretary to Government , Finance Department on 10th of April , 2008 vide Order No. 82 of 2008 dated 10-07-2008 .
Consequent upon the approval formally conveyed by the Board of Directors in its 83rd meeting held on 17-06-2008 under the Chairmanship of Hon'ble Minister for R & B ( Chairman , JKPCC Ltd. ) , sanction is accorded to the implementation of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Leave ) Rules and T. A. Rules as applicable to the State Government employees shall henceforth apply strictly to the employees of the Corporation . This will , however , take effect from 01-04-2008 . However , cases already settled after 01-04-2008 to the date of issuance of orders shall not be re - opened.

10 The J & KGovt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [ No. 46-18
17. Now the question arises whether the petitioner who retired prior to the issuance Order No. 82 dated 10-07-2008 is entitled to leave encashment of 10 months as leave salary. The answer would be in negative because of the reason that the leave rules known as J & K Civil Service Rules ( Leave Rules ) , 1979 , has been adopted by the corporation w. e . f 01/04/2008 . The Order No. 82 of 2008 crystal clear States that-
"The Jammu and Kash.nir Civil Services ( Leave ) Rules , 1990 and T. A. Rules as applicable to the State Government employees shall henceforth apply strictly to the employees of the Corporation and cases already settled after 01-04-2008 to the date of issuance of order shall not be reopened " .
18. The petitioner has received the benefit under Leave Rules , 1979 as the same were adopted by the JKPCC w . e . f . 01-04-2008 . The employee on his retirement shall be entitled to leave salary of 10 months vide SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 , if an employee owns leave to credit . If we go by the contention of the petitioner that all the employees who retired before 01-04-2008 are entitle to the benefit of leave salary then all the employees of the State are entitled to leave encashment of 10 months irrespective of year of their retirement on or before 01-07-1997 .
19. The petitioner has also submitted that the petitioner has been ignored of his legitimate right of leave salary encashment of 10 months and same has been withheld , whereas , other blue eyed employees of the corporation were given the leave encashment of 10 months . Though SRO - 124 was issued on 17-04-1998by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir and employees of the State Government were given the benefit of leave encashment/ leave salary of 10 months on their superannuation w . e . f. 01-07-1997 but the said rules known as JKCSR Leave Rules , 1997 were adopted by the respondent only on 10-07-2008 giving the benefit of leave salary of 10 months to its employees on their superannuation w. e . f . 01-04-2008 .
20. On this account also the petitioner is not found any benefit of Order No. 82 of 2008 of the JKPCC dated 10-07-2008 . So far as the petitioner's argument that some of the employees were provided the benefits of leave salary of 10 months as SRO - 124 passed by the authority under the Payment of Wages Act , there is nothing on the record which No.46-18 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 / 24th Magha , 1935. 11
could prove that the said order passed by the authority under the Payment ofWages Act , District Srinagar ( Assistant Labour Commissioner , Srinagar ) was challenged by the Competent Authority or not . The petitioner has failed to prove that he is entitled to leave salary of 10 months on his superannuation on 30-06-2006 .
21. The next limb of arguments of the petitioner is that he has been requesting the respondent time and again for the release of his leave salary also does not influence the Court in the absence of any proof of filing any receipt of filing of any application of representation before the Competent Authority. If the plea of the petitioner is admitted for arguments sake then there will be a flood gate of litigation by all the retired employees before 01-04-2008 .
22. For what has been discussed above , I am of the concerned view that the workman / petitioner is not entitle to the relief claimed by him . The petition deserves to be dismissed and the same is dismissed accordingly . File to go to records under rule .
23. A copy of this award be sent to the Government of Jammu and Kashmir through its Commissioner/ Secretary , Labour Department for information and publication in the Government Gazette .

1. This is a direct industrial dispute filed by the workman under section 33 ( c ) , sub - section ( 2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 read with section 15, sub - section ( 3 ) of Payment of Wages Act for recovery of amount of leave salary due to the petitioner ( hereinafter to be referred as the " Act " ) .

3. That as per SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 all the Government Employees are entitled to 10 months leave salary so the petitioner is also entitle to leave salary of 10 months equivalent 300 days . The petitioner has been given only 4 months leave salary and 6 months leave salary is outstanding . The leave salary being the retirement benefit falls within the provisions of section 33 ( c ) ( 2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act , 1947. It is also submitted by the petitioner that he has been deceived and dogged by the respondent and due to the inaction of the respondent , the petitioner has filed the present petition seeking the recovery of outstanding leave salary of six months along with interest and compensation on account of mental agony of the petitioner .

4 The J & K Govt . Gazette . 13th Feb .. 2014/24th Magha. 1935. [No. 46-21
7. The moot question for the adjudication by this tribunal is that whether the workman is entitle to leave salary of 300 days and if so whether the said claim is maintainable under section 33c ( 2 ) of 1. D. Act . 1947. To answer this question it is apt to reprodude section 33 c ( 2 ) of Industial Disputes Act . 1947 which reads as under : -
"Where any workman is entitled to receive from the employer any money or any benefit which is capable of being computed in terms of money and if any question arises as to the amount of money due or as to the amount at which such benefit should be computed then the question may subject to any rules that may be made under this Actbe decided by such Labour Court as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government within a period not exceeding three months provided where the Presiding Officer of Labour Court considers it necessary and expedient so to do he may for the reasons to be recorded in writing extend such period by such further period as he may think fit . "
8. It is also pertinent to reproduce section 15 , sub- section ( 3 ) of Payment of Wages Act which reads as under : -
"When any application under sub - section ( 2 ) is entertained , the authority shall hear the applicant and the employer or the other person responsible for payment of wages under section 3 , or give them an opportunity of being heard , and after such further inquiry ( if any ) as may be necessary, may, without prejudice to any other penalty to which such employer or other person is liable under this Act direct the refund to the employed person of the amount deducted, or the payment of delayed wages , together with the payment of such compensation as the authority may think fit, not exceeding ten times the amount deducted in the former case and [ not exceeding twenty- five rupees in the later, and even if the amount deducted or the delayed wages are paid before the disposal of the application , direct the payment of such compensation , as the authority may think fit , not exceeding two thousand rupees ] . "
9. The Ld . Counsel for the respondent has argued that in a case entitled " Krishan Prasad Gupta V. Controller , Printing and Stationery " , No. 16-211 The J & K Govt . Gazette . 13th Feb. 2014: 24th Magha . 1935 5 published as AIR 1996 Supreme Court 408. the Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed that
"The character and function of the Labour Court under the Industrial Disputes Act as also the Authority under the Payment of Wages Act are similar in purpose and both are designed to produce the same result particularly as some of the provisions under both the Act prescribe the same thing to be done . The Industrial Disputes Act . 19.17 and the Payment of Wages Act , 1936 are , therefore , "Corresponding Law " qua each other particularly as both are part of the same social legislative canopy made by the Parliament for immediate amelioration of workmen's plight resulting from non - payment , or delayed payment , or , for that matter, short payment of their wages . "
10. In AIR 2010 Supreme Court 3563 in a case entitled " Vijaya Bank V. Shyamal Kumar Lodh " the same view was taken . It was observed that--
12. From a plain reading of section 3.3c ( 2 ) it is evident that money due to a workman has to be decided by such Labour Court as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government . " Section 7 of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 inter alia confers power to the appropriate Government for constitution of one or more Labour Courts for the decided by " Labour Court as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government " . Therefore , the expression Labour Court in section 33c ( 2 ) has to be given an extended meaning so as to include Court constituted under any law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State . It widens the choice of appropriate Government and it can specify not only the Labour Courts constituted under section 7 of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 but such other Courts constituted under any other law relating to investigation and settlement of it.Justrial disputes in force in any State . "
11. So in view of the above , it is safe to hold that this tribunal is competent to adjudicate dispute raised by the workman .
12. From the perusal of record it is established which is not also disputed by the respondent that the petitioner hereinabove was an employee 6 The J & K Govt . Gazette . 13th Feb. 2014/ 24th Magha . 1935. [No. 46-21
of the JKPCC . It has also been admitted by the respondent that J & K Service ( Leave ) Rules have been made applicable to the employees of JKPCC with effect from 01-01-2008 dated 10-07-2008 and prior to 01-0-1-2008 the employees of JKPCC were entitled to 120 days leave encashment and after 01-04-2008 when the J& K Service ( Leave ) Rules were made applicable to the employees of the corporation . It is also not out of place to mention that against the clear admission of the respondents there was no scope for this tribunal to hold further enquiry .
13. To solve the controversy it is profitable to reproduce SRO - 124 dated 17-01-1998 which reads as under :
"Notification
Dated Jammu , the i 7th April , 1998 .

In exercise of the powers conferred by proviso to section 124 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir , the Governor is pleased to direct that the following amendments shall be made in the J & K Civil Services Regulations , J & K Civil Service ( Leave ) Rules , 1979 and J & K Civil Services ( LCC ) Rules , 1996 :

Cash in lieu of leave salary. ( 1 ) A Government servant may be paid cash equivalent of leave salary in respect of period of earned leave at his creidit at the time of retirement on superannuation .
No. 46-21 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb.. 2014 /24th Magha . 1935. 7
( 2 ) This concession will be subject to the following conditions : -
a maximum of 2-10 days of carned leave :
i . The payment of cash equivalent of leave salary shall be limited to
ii . The cash equivalent of leave salary thus admissible will become payable on retirement and will be paid in one lump sum as a one time settlement ;
iii . Cash payment will be equal to leave salary admissible for earned leave and dearness allowance admissible on the leave salary at the rates in vogue on the date of retirement . No other allowance like compensatory allowance , border allowance , muffasil allowance , house rent allowance or any other allowance will be admissible as part of leave salary .
14. The purport of SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 is that the State Government Employees regulated under the JKPCC , CSR . J & K Civil Service ( Leave ) Rules , 1979 and J & K Civil Service Rules ( LTC ) is entitled to maximum limit for accumulation of earned leave of 300 days w.e. f. 1.07-1997 .
15. As per Article 82 of sub - clause ( V ) of the Memorandum and Article of Association of JKPCC the directors shall have the powers with the sanction of the Governor, i . e . to say --
"( V ) To appoint and promote and at their discretion remove , retire or suspend such managers , secretaries , officers , clerks , agents and servants , for permanent , temporary or special service as they may, from time to time think fit and to determine their powers and duties and tix their salaries and emoluments and to require security in such instasllments and to such amount as they think fit provided that no appointment the maximum pay of which is Rs . 3000 or more per mensum shall be made without the prior approval of the Governor :
Provided that such appointment , retirement and removal shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service Rules , 1956 , Government Scrvent 8 the J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb .. 2014 / 24th Magha , 1935. [ No. 46-21
Conduct Rules , Recruitment Rules and other service rules and regulations in force in the State from time to time . "
16. The next leg of the arguments is that JKPCC has adopted the J & K Civil Service Rules , 1979 , Civil Service ( Medical Attendance and Allowance Rules ) , 1990 and T / E Rules vide Order No. 82 dated 10-07-2008 . It is imperative to reproduce the Order No. 82/2008 passed by the respondent . JKPCC , which reads as under : --
"Subject : Implementation of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services ( Leave ) Rules , 1979 , Civil Services ( Medical Attendance and Allowance ) Rules , 1990 and T. A. Rules .
Reference : Decision taken by the Budget/Establishment Sub - Committee of JKPCC Ltd .. under the Chairmanship of Commissioner / Secretary to Government . Finance Department on 10th of April , 2008 , vide Order No. 82 of 2008 dated 10-07-2008
Consequent upon the approval formally conveyed by the Board of Directors in its 83rd meeting held on 17-06-2008 under the Chairmanship of Hon'ble Minister for R & B ( Chairman , JKPCC Ltd. ) sanction is accorded to the implementation of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services ( Leave ) Rules and T. A. Rules as applicable to the State Government employees shall henceforth apply strictly to the employees of the Corporation . This will , however, take effect from 01-01-2008 . However , cases already settled after 01-01-2008 to the date of issuance of orders shall not be reopened .
(Sd . )
Managing Director,
J & KPCC Ltd. , Srinagar .
Dated 10-07-2008 . "
17. Now , the question arises whether the petitioner who retired prior to the issuance of Order No. 82 dated 10-07-2008 is entitled to leave encashment of 10 months as leave salary . The answer would be in negative because of the reason that the leave rules known as J & K Civil Service No. 46-21 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb .. 2014 /24th Magha. 1935. 9
Rules ( Leave Rules ) , 1979 , has been adopted by the corporation w . e . f. 1- 04-2008 . The Order No. 82 of 2008 crystal clear states that
" The Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service ( Leave ) Rules , 1990 and T. A. Rules as applicable to the State Government Employees shall henceforth apply strictly to the employees of the corporation and cases already settled after 01-04-2008 to the date of issuance of order shall not be reopened " .
18. The petitioner has received the benefit under Leave Rules , 1979 as the same were adoptedby JKPCC w . e . f. 1-04-2008 . The employees on his retirement shall be entitled to Leave Salary of 10 months vide SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 , if an emplolyee owns leave to credit . If we go by the contention of the petitioner that all the employees who retired before 01-04-2008 are entitle to the benefit of leave salary then all the employees of the State are entitled to leave encashment of 10 months irrespective of year of their retirement on or before 01-07-1997 .
19. The petitioner has also submitted that the petitioner has been ignored of his legitimate right of leave salary encashment of 10 months and same has been withheld , whereas other blue eyed employees of the corporation were given the leave encashment of 10 months . Though SRO - 124 was issued on 17-04-1998by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir and the employees of the State Government were given the benefit of Leave Encashment/Leave Salary of 10 months on their superannuation w. e . f . 01-07-1997 but the said rules known as JKCSR Leave Rules , 1997 were adopted by the respondent only on 10-07-2008 giving the benefit of leave salary of 10 months to its employees on their superannuation w. e . f. 01-04-2008 .
20. On this account also the petitioner is not found any benefit of Order No. 82 of 2008 of the JKPCC dated 10-07-2008 . So far as the petitioner's argument that some of the employees were provided the benefits of leave salary of 10 months as SRO - 124 passed by the authority under the Payment of Wages Act , there is nothing on the record which could prove that the said erder passed by the authority under the Payment of Wages Act District Srinagar ( Assistant Labour Commissioner , Srinagar ) was challenged by the competent authority or not . The petitioner has failed to prove that he is entitled to leave salary of 10 months on his superannuation 30-06-2006 .
10 The J & K Govt. Gazette , 13th Feb. 2014 / 24th Magha . 1935. [No. 46-21
21. The next limb of arguments of the petitioner is that he has been requesting the respondent time and again for the release of his leave salary also does not influence the court in the absence of any proof of filing any receipt of filing of any application of representation before the competent authority . If the plea of the petitioner is admitted for arguments sake than there will be a flood gate of litigation by all the retired employees before 01-04-2008 .
22. For what has been discussed above , I am of the concerned view that the workman / petitioner is not entitle to the relief claimed by him . The petition deserves to be dismissed and the same is dismissed accordingly . File to go to records under rule .
23. A copy of this award be sent to the Government of Jammu and Kashmir through its Commissioner / Secretary, Labour Department for information and publication in the Government Gazette .

The order or the demotion was challenged by the petitioner before this Hon'ble Court who vide order dated 11-12-1985 allowed the petition and set aside the demotion order.
That thereafter the petitioner filed an application under section 33 - C ( 2 ) or the Industrial Dispute Act ( hereinafter to be referred to as an Act ) for computation of the wages . During the pendency of the aforesaid application , the petitioner was terminated from service vide Order 3 No. 46-22 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935 .
dated 16-12-1987 . The application filed by the petitioner under section 33 was allowed and the wages were computed . The Hon'ble Court further set aside the termination order of the petitioner vide judgement dated 17-03- 1989 .
That the aforesaid judgement of the Hon'ble Court came to he challenged before the Hon'ble Court and the Hon'ble Court vide judgement dated 13-12-1998 in SWP No. 185/90 , set aside the judgement dated 17-03-1989 to the extent of the setting aside of the termination or the petitioner. However, the petitioner was held entitled to the benefit calculated by the Hon'ble Court while deciding application under section 33 - C ( 2 ) . The aforesaid judgment passed by the Hon'ble High Court came to be upheld by the Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court in LPA No. 674 98 vide judgement dated 03-08-2004 .
That thereafter the petitioner again pursued the matter under Indust Dispute Actbefore Reconciliation Officer and the State of the JCK B referred the matter i . e . the termination of the petitioner as a Industri dispute vide SRO - 55 which has been referred to the Hon'ble Court .
That the petitioner as such , has challenged the termination ord amongst other on the following grounds :-
a . That the termination order of the petitioner vide Order dated 16-12-1987 on the basis of an inquiry report is illegal as the petitioner was not granted any reasonable opportunity to participate in the said departmental inquiry . The petitioner was not granted any opportunity to cross - examine the witnesses of the respondent nor the petitioner was provided any opportunity by the Inquiry Officer to produce his witnesses . The petitioner was proceeded ex parte on 07-11-1987 . The departmental inquiry as such , was against the rules of natural justice .
b . That the order of the termination passed by the respondent No. 1 is also illegal as the petitioner had submitted his reply or 14-12-1987 under registered cover No. 628 dated 14-12-1987 with acknowledgement . The copy of the said reply submitted by petitioner to the said show cause notice issued by the resp 4
The J & K Govt . Gazette, 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
No 1 is enclosed herewith and marked as Annexure - D . The respondent however , did not consider the reply of the petitioner and has infact recorded that the petitioner has not submitted his reply which was against the record . The termination order as such , is liable to be set aside .
c . That even otherwise the evidence led before the Inquiry Officer did not prove the misconduct attributable to the petitioner. The Inquiry Officer arrived at a perverse finding which was not substantiated by way or any evidence brought on record . The said termination oruer on the basis of the findings or the Inquiry Officer as such is liable to be set aside .
d . That the petitioner & services were terminated as the petitioner has preferred an earlier proceedings against the respondent in the Hon'ble Court and the Hon'ble Court had also stayed the suspension / transfer order of the petitioner to Cafetaria , Jhajarkotli . The order of the fon'ble Court from time to time in staying the transfer and susp . nsion order of the petitioner broughtill will and hostility from the respondents who eventually with vengeance pessed an ex parte termination order or the petitioner . The impugned order as such was passed under malafide considerations .
e . That the petitioner reserves its right to lead evidence before the Hon'ble Court in order to substantiate the facts that the charges leveled against the petitioner by way or the charge sheet were baseless , unfounded and against the actual facts governing the case .
f. That the petitioner reserves its right to file an application for placing on record the arrears of backwages which are payable to the petitioner in case the petition is allowed by the Hon'ble Court and the order of termination is quashed .
And finally prayed that due to the aforesaid submissions and those to be urged at the time of hearing , the Hon'ble Court may be pleased to quash the termination order No. 326 / MD / JKTDC of 1987 dated 16-12-1987 and the petitioner may be reinstated to his post with back wages in the interest ofjustice equity and fair play.
5 No. 46-22 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/ 24th Magha, 1935 .
Thereafter file was posted for filing of the objections whereupon respondent filed objections on 24-04-2006 averring therein that the present petition filed by the petitioner is patently delayed , barred by limitation end the same is liable to be dismissed . It is submitted that the services of the petitioner after proper inquiry under rules on the charge of misconduct were terminated by the management on 16-12-1987 and the present petition before this Court has been filed or setting aside the same after more than 18 years is without any reasonable justification and as such the petition is belated and liable to be dismissed on the ground of limitation alone .
That the petition is also liable to be dismissed on the ground of estoppal and waiver. It is submitted that the petitioner instead of challenging the order or termination under proper forum and proceedings chose to challenge the same by way of an application in the execution proceedings under section 33 - C ( 2 ) ofthe Industrial Dispute Act . Accordingly in the execution proceedings , the order of termination was set aside by this Tribunal on 17-03-1989 . The said order was however challenged by the Corporation before the Hon'ble High Court of J & K in writ petition No. 185 of 1990 on the ground that since there was no reference or dispute under the Industrial Dispute Act under section 10 and the order of termination was an independent dispute should not have been challenged and set aside in the execution proceedings . The writ petition was allowed by the Hon'ble High Court and the order of Tribunal setting aside the termination order was held illegal and bad in law.
Copy of the judgement dated 17-03-1989 as well dated 13-12-1998 are enclosed herewith for perusal of the Hon'ble Court . The above said order of the learned Single Judge dated 13-12-1998 was also challenged by the petitioner in LPA ( S ) No. 674/99 before the Hon'ble D. B. of the High Court of J & K end the said LPA after hearing has also been dismissed vide order dated 03-08-2004 .
A copy of the said order is also enclosed herewith .
In view or the above , the order of termination has been finally upheld by the Hon'ble High Court in appeal and no liberty has been granted to the petitioner to challenge the same before this Hon'ble Court . Hence in absence ofany fresh liberty to the petitioner to challenge the order of termination by 6 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/ 24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
the Hon'ble High Court , the petitioner is estopped from challenging the order or termination now after more than 18 years without any liberty sought from the High Court in the earlier proceedings and the petitioner has waived his right to challenge the order of termination . The present petition as such isliable to be dismissed on this ground also .
Without prejudice to the foregoing preliminary objections , para - wise reply is submitted as under :-
1. Contents of Para I or the petition is a matter of record , needs no reply.
2. Contents of para 2 of the petition is also a matter of record . However it is submitted that the order or Tribunal dated 17-03-1989 was challenged by the respondent - Corporation in the writ petition No. 185/90 before the Hon'ble High Court and the writ petition was allowed and the order of Tribunal was set aside being illegal under law and the same has also been upheld in LPA 674/99 and the said order has become final . The petitioner after termination is not entitled to any wages .
3. Contents of para 3 pertains to Court orders is a matter or record needs no detailed reply . However, it is submitted that in view of the judgement or the Division Bench of the High Court in LPA No. 674 of 1998 , no relief can be granted to the petitioner.
4. That in reply to para 4 of the petition , it is submitted that alter expiry of more than 18 years , no dispute exists between the parties for which a reference was required , particularly when the order of termination has been accepted by the Hon'ble High Court in the earlier round of litigation initiated by the petitioner. Since the petitioner has not choosen to approach before this Hon'ble Court well in time and has also not sought fresh liberty from the Hon'ble High Court to approach this Tribunal in the present proceedings , hence the present proceedings are not maintainable on the principal of resjudicata and estoppel , hence the same are liable to be dismissed .
7 No. 46-22 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 / 24th Magha , 1935 .
Reply to grounds :
a . Contents of ground ( a) are emphatically denied . The allegations in the said para regarding holding inquiry violating the rules of natural justice arc totally incorrect and against the facts as well as record . A perusal of termination order , itself would show that the petitioner was chargesheeted vide chargesheet dated 15-07-1987 to which he also replied before the Inquiry Officer. The reply was not found satisfactory and the charge of misconduct was proved against the petitioner and a copy of Inquiry report along with statement or witnesses were also made available to the petitioner for submitting his reply to show cause notice of proposed penalty for termination to which the petitioner did not respond reply, The Inquiry report was accepted by the petitioner and after issuing proposed penalty show cause notice along with the inquiry report and statement or witnesses no reply was submitted by the petitioner and the management accordingly issued termination order accordingly. It is submitted that proper opportunity of hearing and participating in the Inquiry proceedings was given to the petitioner by the Inquiry officer and the rules of natural justice have not been violated as has been alleged . The petitioner was given an opportunity to cross examine the witnesses before the Inquiry Office but did not choose to do so and the Inquiry has been strictly held as per rules .
b . Contents of ground ( b ) are denied . As already submitted that proper inquiry under rules was held against the petitioner after following the procedure under law and the charges of misconduct have been proved against the petitioner and the order of termination has rightly passed by the management , keeping in view the serious charges or misconduct proved against the petitioner . The order of termination does not suffer from any illegality and the same has been virtually accepted by the Hon'ble High Court in the earlier round of litigation .
c . Contents of ground ( c) are also denied . An already submitted that the charges of misconduct have been proved against the petitioner during the course of inquiry and the Inquiry Officer has not given 8 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
any wrong findings as alleged . There was enough evidence on the record to prove the charges which the petitioner has failed to rebut . The order of termination has been rightly passed by the Corporation on the basis of proved charges and needs no interference by this Hon'ble Forum.
d . Contents or ground (d ) arc denied to the extent that there was any ill will or malafide on the part or management to terminate the services of petitioner as alleged . It is also denied that ex parte termination order was passed as has been alleged . The order of termination is itself speaking on giving all facts which would establish that the said order was passed after proper inquiry under rules .
e . Contents of ground ( e ) are also denied to the extent that charges levelled against the petitioner were baseless and unfounded as has been alleged . The charges of misconduct have been proved against the petitioner by the Inquiry Officer and the petitioner has failed to rebut the same . In reply to ground (f) , it is submitted that after termination , the petitioner is not entitled to any wages as claimed.
And finally prayed that for the afore stated reasons and others to be submitted at the time or hearing, the petition of the petitioner being misconceived , without any ground and same may be dismissed .
Thereafter out of the pleadings of the parties following issues were ...ned by this Tribunal i . e . :-
1. Whether the present petition is barred by limitation ?
OPR
2. Whether the action of respondent management in terminating the services or petitioner is illegal ?

3. To what relief the petitioner is entitled ?
O. P. Parties
Since the issue No. I was considered as preliminary in nature as such file was posted for hearing arguments whereupon following order dated 29-01-2008 was passed .
"Learned Counsel for the parties are present . Petitioner is also present in person . The case in hand has been referred to this tribunal by the appropriate government vide SRO No. 55 of section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act , 1947 for adjudication on the following matters :-
(a) Legality or otherwise ofthe action of the Managen.ent of JKTDC in terminating the services of its workman , namely Shri Bodh Raj ; and
(b) Award appropriate relief to the said workman in case the illegality of the action of the management is established.
After receipt of the reference notices were issued to the parties who appeared and the petitioner filed his claim petition . The respondent also filed his objections . Out of the pleadings of the parties , the Court framed the following issues in the case :-
1. Whether the present petition is barred by limitation OFR
2. Whether the action of respondent management in terminating the services of petitioner is illegal ? OPP
3. To what relief the petitioner is entitled O.P. Parties .
Out of these issues No.1 was treated as preliminary issue . I have heard learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the record available on the file carefully.
Counsel for the petitioner has submitted that the petitioner has not wasted any time in filing his claim petition and has further submitted that the petition is not time barred . On the other hand counsel for the respondent 10 The J & K Govt. Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha, 1935. [No. 46-22
has submitted that petition is time barred and deserves to be dismissed . It will be profitable to give the brief facts of the case .
The petitioner has claimed that he was appointed as Chowkidar on 20-03-1971 with the respondent . Petitioner thereafter was promoted as Pantryman w . e . f. 01-05-1980 vide Order dated 30-04-1980 . After that petitioner was reverted back to the post of Chowkidar by respondent No. 2 , Manager , Tourist Reception Centre , Jammu , that the order of demotion was challenged before this Court and vide order dated 11-12-1985 the Court allowed the petition and setaside the demotion order . Thereafter the petitioner filed an application under section 33 - C ( 2 ) of the I. D.Act for computation of wages and during the pendency of the aforesaid application , the petitioner was terminated from his services by the respondent vide order dated 16-12-1998 . The application of the petitioner was allowed and wages were computed . This Court further set- aside the termination order of the petitioner vide judgement dated 17-03-1989 . Petitioner has further stated that the respondent challenged the judgement of this Court before the Hon'ble High Court of J & K and the Hon'ble High Court vide its judgement dated 13-12-1998 in SWP No. 185/90 set - aside the judgement of this Court dated 17-03-1989 to the extent of setting aside of terminating of the petitioner . However , petitioner was held entitled to the benefit calculated by this Court while deciding application under section 33 - C (2 ) . Further more the judgement passed by the Hon'ble High Court , mentioned above , came to be upheld by the Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court in LPA No. 674/98 vide judgement dated 03-08-2004.
Thereafter , the petitioner perused the matter under the Industrial Disputes Act before the concerned Labour Department of J & K State and the State of Jammu and Kashmir has referred the matter to this Tribunal for adjudication under SRO No. 55 dated 3rd March , 2005. In this way the petitioner has submitted that he has not wasted any time in filing his claim and in fact delay has been caused due to litigation in this Tribunal as well as in the Hon'ble High Court and there is no intention of delaying the matter on hispart.
On the other hand , the learned Counsel for the respondents has submitted that the present petition is patently delayed, bar red by limitation No. 46-22 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha , 1935. 11
and the same is liable to be dismissed . Further the respondents have submitted that the services of the petitioner were terminated after conducting proper enquiry and the present petition before the Court has been filed for setting aside the same after more than 18 years without any reasonable justification and the petition is belated and liable to be dismissed.
I have considered the arguments advanced by learned counsel for the parties and have gone through the file carefully.
Itiscrystal clear from the judgment of the Hon'ble High Court dated 03-08-2004 in which the Hon'ble Division Bench has observed that the interference by the learned Single Judge with the impugned part of the order cannot be said to be erroneous or unjustified with the result the appeal has been dismissed . It is evident from the judgement of the Hon'ble Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court that the appeal was disposed of on 3rd August , 2004 and the petitioner approached the appropriate Government through Secretary, Labour Department on 23rd August 200-4 , copy of the application is available on the file . Further more there is a copy of failure report of Conciliation Officer ( DLC) , Jammu dated 28-12-2004 which reveals that the said officer has submitted his report to the Financial Commissioner , Labour and Employment Department , Civil Secretariat , Jammu . The appropriate Government had made the reference to this Tribunal under SRO - 55 dated 3rd March , 2005 which was received by this Court on 14th March , 2005 .
From the above mentioned facts it is crystal clear that the claim file of the petitioner was moved systematically after the disposal of LPA by the Hon'ble Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court . Petitioner has approached the competent authority i. e . Secretary to Government , Labour Department just within 20 days of disposal of LPA by the Hon'ble High Court and the Govt . has made the reference to this Court vide SRO - 55 dated 3rd March , 2005. So there is no delay on the part of the petitioner in filing his claim petition before the appropriate Government . In fact he has immediately filed his claim before the appropriate Government after the disposal of LPA by the Hon'ble High Court . Counsel for the respondent 12 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
has cited AIR 2005 SC 1843. The Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed in para 17 of the judgement as under :-
" 17. In Nedungada Bank Ltd. ( Supra ) a Bench of this Court , where S. Saghir Almed was a member ( His Lordship was also a member in Ajaib Singh ( Supra ) opined :
6. Law does not prescribe any time limit for the appropriate government to exercise its powers under section 10 of the Act . It is not that this power can be exercised at any point of time and to revive matters which had since been settled . Power to be exercised reasonably and in a rational manner . There appears to us to be no rational basis on which the Central Government has e ercised powers in this case after a lapse of about seven years of the order dismissing the respondent from service . At the time reference was made no industrial dispute existed or could be even said to have been apprehended . A dispute which is stale could not be the subject matter of referer de under section 10 of the Act . As to when a dispute can be said to be stile would depend on the facts and circumstances of each case . When the matter has become final , it appears to us to be rather incsegruous that the reference be made under section 10 of the Act in the circumstances like the present one . In fact it could be said that there was no dispute pending at the time when reference in question was made. "
On the other hand counsel for the petitioner has cited 1999-6 SCC in which it has been observed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court in para 10 of the Judgentent as under :--
" 10. It follows , therefore , that the provisions of Article 137 of the schedule to the Limitation Act, 1963 are not applicable to the proceedings under the Act and that the relief under it cannot be denied to the workman merely on the ground of delay. The plea of delay if raised by tise employer is required to be proved as a matter of fact by showing the real prejudice and not as a merely hypothetical defence . No reference to the Labour court can be generally questioned on the ground of delay alone. Even in a case where delay is shown to be existing , the Tribunal , Labour Court or Board, dealing with the case can appropriately mould the relief by declining to grant back - wages to the workman till the date he raised the demand ] The J & K Govt .

regarding his illegal retrenchment/ termination or dismissal . The Court may also in appropriate case direct the payment of part of the back wages instead of full back wages . Reliance of the Learned Counsel for the respondent management on the Full Bench Judgement of the Punjab and Haryana High Court in Ram Chander Morya V. State of Haryana is also of no help to him . In that case the High Court nowhere held that the provisions of Article 137 of the Limitation Act were applicable in the proceedings under the Act . The Court specifically held neither any limitation has been provided nor any guidelines to determine as to what shall be the period of limitation in such cases . However , it went on further to say that reasonable time in the cases oflabour for demand of reference or dispute by appropriate Government to Labour Tribunals will be five years after which the Government can refuse to make a reference on the ground of delay and laches , if there is no explanation to the delay' .
We are of the opinion that the Punjab and Haryana High Court was not justified in prescribing the limitation for getting the reference made or an application under section 33 - C of the Act to be adjudicated , it is not the function of the Court to prescribe the limitation where the legislature in its wisdom had thought it fit not to prescribe any period . The Court admittedly interpret law and do not make laws . Personal views of the judges presiding over the Court cannot be stretched to authorize them to interpret law in such a manner which would amount to legislation intentionally leftover by the legislature . The judgement of the full Bench of the Punjab and Haryana High Court has completely ignored the object of the Act and various pronouncements of this Court as noted hereinabove and thus is not a good law on the point of the applicability of the period of limitation for the purposes of invoking the jurisdiction of the Courts / Boards and Tribunal under the Act ."
As has already been stated above that the petitioner was appointed as Chowkidar on 20-03-1971 with the respondents and thereafter he was promoted as Pantryman w . e.f. 31-05-1980 . After that the petitioner was reverted back to the post of Chowkidar and the order or demotion was challenged by the petitioner before this Tribunal and vide order dated 11-12-1985 this Tribunal allowed the petition and set - aside the demotion order. Thereafter the petitioner filed an application under section 33 - C (2 ) of 14 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
the I. D. Act for computation of the wages and during the pendency of the aforesaid application services of the petitioner were terminated by the respondents vide order dated 16-12-1987 . The application of the petitioner was allowed by this Court/Tribunal and the wages due to the petitioner were computed. This Tribunal further set - aside the termination order ofthe petitioner vide its judgement dated 17-03-1989 . This judgment was challenged by the respondents before the Hon'ble High Court of J & K and Hon'ble High Court vide its judgement dated 13-12-1998 in SWP No. 185/90 set- aside the judgement of this Iribunal dated 17 ' () 3.1989 to the extent ofsetting aside of the termination of petitioner . However petitioner was held to the benefit calculated by this Tribunal while deciding the application under section 33 - C ( 2 ) . Further more the judgement passed by the Hon'ble High Court , mentioned above , came to be upheld by the Division Bench of the Hon'ble High Court in LPA No. 674/98 vide its Judgement dated 03-08- 2004. Thereafter the petitioner pursued the matter under the Act before the concerned Labour Department of J & K State and the State of Jammu and Kashmir referred the matter to this Tribunal for adjudication under SRO - 55 dated 03-03-2005 .
In this way petitioner has not wasted any time or delayed the matter deliberately. Infact the petitioner immediately after the judgement of Hon'ble High Court dated 3rd August , 2004 , mentioned above , approached the appropriate government and the appropriate Government has referred the matter for adjudication to this Tribunal under SRO - 55 dated 03-03-2005 .
It is evident from the above quoted Judgement of the Hon'ble Supreme Court that provisions of Article 137 of the Schedule to the limitation Act , 1963 are not applicable to be proceedings under the Act and the relief under it cannot be denied to a workman merely on the ground of delay. Under the circumstances of the case , I am of the opinion that the authority of the Hon'ble Supreme Court reported in 1999-6 ( SCC ) suits fit to the facts and circumstances of the case in hand and as such reliance is placed on it .
For the fore - going reasons , I am of the opinion that the petition of the petitioner is not time barred , as such issue No. 1 is decided in favour of the petitioner and against the respondents . Now the parties arc directed to file list or their witnesses in this Tribunal within fifteen days . The petitioner No. 46-22 ] The J& K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha , 1935. 15
shall adduce his evidence first and in case he wants to seek the assistance ofthis Court in summoning of his witnesses , he shall deposit diet expenses of the witnesses within the above said period . File shall come up on 25th February, 2008 for evidence of the petitioner.
Thereafter file was posted for hearing arguments whereupon pe itioner submitted his written arguments averring therein that petitioner while working as Chowkidar in Respondent No. I Corporation came to be promoted as Pantryman in 1980. Subsequently he came to be demoted which culminated into a labour dispute before this Hon'ble Tribunal . It is vide order dated 11-12-1985 this Hon'ble Tribunal set - aside the order or demotion and allowed consequential benefits to the petitioner .
That despite award , respondents failed to settle , the claim and accordingly proceedings under section 33 ( c ) ( 2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act came to be initiated . It is during the pendency of the proceedings under section 33 ( c ) (2 ) that termination order of the petitioner came to be passed vide order No. 326/ MD / JKTDC of 1987 dated 16.12.1987 . The termination order was immediately set - aside by this Tribunal vide order dated 17-03-1989 .
That respondents feeling aggrieved , challenged the validity of the set aside order in SWP No. 185/90 , whic came to be accepted vide judgment dated 13-13-1998 and the order of this Hon'ble fourm set - aside on the ground that
" Since the matter had not been referred by the competent authority, as such Labour Court has no jurisdiction to try the matter . "
The above said order came to be upheld by Hon'ble division bench in LPA 674/98 .
That the applicant accordingly was left with no option but to seek reference of the matter and accordingly filed application before the competent authority seeking reference ,
That it is vide SRO - 55 dated 3rd March , 2005 that the appropriate Government in exercise or power under clause ( c ) or subsection ( 1 ) of 16 The J& K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
section 10 or industrial Dispute Act, 1947 referred the matter to this Hon'ble Tribunal on two issues :-
a . Legality or otherwise of the action of their management of JKTDC interminating the service of its workman Sh . Bodh Raj ; and
b. Award or appropriate relief to said workman in case the illegality of the action of the management is established .
Alter receipt of the reference parties were put to pleadings and on the basis or pleadings , following issues came to be framed-
1. Whether the present petition is barred by limitation
OPR
2. Whether the action or respondent management in terminating the service ofthe petitioner is illegal
OPP
3. To what relief the petitioner is entitled
OP Parties .
That the issue or limitation came to be treated as primary legal issue and this Hon'ble Court vide order dated 29-01-2008 decided the issue in favour of the petitioner and against the respondents holding the reference withintime.
That parties were put to evidence . Petitioner examined himself as his wwwn witness and the respondents examined Sh . Ashwani Kumar Gupta , Sr. Manager as its witness . To properly appreciate the controversy, the matter is to he dealt issue - wise .
Issue No. 2 , whether the action of respondent Management in terminating the service or respondent is illegal .
Petitioner pleaded that no enquiry in the matter was conducted nor any opportunity to participate in the departmental enquiry was granted to the petitioner . Only show cause notice was issued and the allegation came 17 No. 46-22 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha, 1935 .
to be denied by the petitioner. Thereafter no proceedings were held , no evidence was recorded in his presence nor he allowed chance to cross examine the witness . The petitioner was issued only a termination order .
That further the petitioner being a Class IV uneducated employ was neither given a chance to get himself represented by a co - worker nor was any such choice given to the petitioner, even the report or the enquiry was not made available to the petitioner. The domestic enquiry conducted did not comply the minimum standards or principle of natural justice . The statement tendered by the petitioner inspires confidence and lends support to his pleadings . His statement came to be recorded on 29.05.2008 . The petitioner has in his statement clearly stated that he was not allowed to participate in the enquiry nor any evidence recorded in his presence nor was he given any chance to cross examine the witnesses and no notice was issued to him before passing the ultimate sentence or dismissal and further he was not asked to defend his cause through: co - worker . There is no record of enquiry available in view of the fact that no enquiry has conducted in the mater.
That in order to disprove the contentious of the petitioner , the respondents examined Mr. Ashwani Kumar, Senior Marager, whose statement was recorded on 02.12.2008 . In his statement has shown ignorance toward the facts or the case and has stated that he has no knowledge about the incident. He also has stated that he does not know whether show cause notice was issued or any proceeding taken and also failed to produce the record before the Tribunal on the plea that record has burnt . He categorically said that he does not know whether the enquiry was conducted at Jammu or Srinagar and also does not know who pass the termination order of the applicant . In short , the respondent have failed to show before the Hon'ble Courtby record or otherwise that a proper enquiry was held and petitioner allowed a chance to participate himself or through appointed co-worker. No evidence was recorded in his presence nor does their exist any such record and before passing the ultimate punishment of dismissal . No notice was issued to the petitioner.
That the ground taken by the respondent accordingly is of no consequence and smacks or arbitrariness .
18 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
Accordingly this issue needs to be decided in favour or the petitioner as against the respondents .
And finally prayed since the order of terminations is illegal and is liable to be set aside as such he is entitled to reinstatement in view of the fact that he is still with in the age of service and has not reached the age of superannuation . Petitioner is entitled to back wages with consequential benefits .
Thereafter respondent also filed written arguments and while filing written averred that the petitioner's services were terminated by the respondent corporation on the charge or misconduct vide order dated 16-2-1987 . After holding, proper enquiry under services regulations of JKTDC . The order of termination dated 16.12.1987 which is enclosed as Annexure - R1 at page 10 with the objections of the respondent corporation would show that before the termination order was issued against the petitioner, all rules and regulations have been followed by holding a proper enquiry against the petitioner to the charges by issuing proper charge sheet and finally proposed penalty notice as well in addition to other procedure adopted by the enquiry officer during the course of enquiry. The principle or natural justice has been duly followed in the case and it has wrongly been stated by the petitioner that he was not given an opportunity of being heard .
That though the enquiry record file in the present case has been gutted into fire in the office of Corporation at TRC , Srinagar ( Head Office ) when the entire TRC complex at Srinagar was gutted into fire in an incident and an FIR bearing FIR No. 46 of 2005 dated 06.04.2005 was also lodged in this behalf with the concern Kothi Bagh , Srinagar regarding the above said incident of fire in the TRC Building in which the entire office record including the record of the employees was gutted into fire . This was the reason due to which the enquiry file of the petitioner's case could not be produced before this Hon'ble Court and a statement in this regard has already been made by one of the Manager Sh . Ashwani Gupta during the course of evidence . However , a photocopy or the FIR is also enclosed herewith for the perusal of this Hon'ble Court with regard to the incident of fire in TRC Complex , Srinagar in the Year, 2005 , Hence the petitioner cannot say that the enquiry has not been held before termination .
19 46-22 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935.
No.
Thatthe order of termination dated 16-12-1987 was challenged by the petitioner during the execution proceedings before this Court which was not having the jurisdiction to decide the issue of termination which was an independent dispute and could have been only decided by a fresh reference under section 10 of the Industrial Dispute Act which was not made by the Government . The order of reinstatement passed by the Labour Court dated 17-03-1989 was challenged by the respondent corporation on number ofgrounds before the Hon'ble High Court of J & K at Jammu in Writ Petition which writ petition was allowed by the Hon'ble High Court holding thatorder passed by the Tribunal is bad in the eyes or law vide order dated 13-12-1998 and the said order was also challenged by the petitioner before the Hon'ble Division Bench of the High Court in LPA ( S. No. 674/99 ) which appeal was also dismissed by the Hon'ble Division Bench and while dismissing the appeal , the petitioner or his counsel did not sought any liberty from the Hon'ble High Court to challenge the order of termination before the Labour Court through reference under section 10 or the L. D. Act . In absence or any liberty from the Hon'ble Court , the petitioner has no right and is estopped from challenging the termination order after years together.
That the respondent corporation specially has taken preliminary objections with regard to maintainability of the proceedings before the Labour Court and the reference made by the Government after about 18 years period and the issue of the limitation decided by this Hon'ble Court vide Orderdated 29-01-2008 and the reference order dated 03-03-2005 is already challeng by the respondent corporation in SWP No. 329/2008 in which notice has been issued by the Hon'ble High Court of J & K at Jammu and the matter is pending as on date . Henee in view of the pendency of the issue of limitation and the reference order, it would be just and proper to defer the proceedings till the issue is decided by the Hon'ble High Court in the above said Writ Petition .
That otherwise on merit also , the petitioner has no case to challenge the order of termination which has been rightly passed by the respondent corporation in the facts and circumstances of the case and after the charges have been proved against the petitioner by holding proper enquiry in which the petitioner has also replied to the charges . This fact is apparent from the order of the termination , which is on record .
20 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
Legal and factual submission
a . That the issue with regard to limitation and the power or the
case and a period of more than 18 years is pending before the Government to make reference under section 10 in the present Hon'ble High Court at Jammu in SWP No. 329/2008 and the present case for its final decision is required to be deferred till the outcome of the above said writ petition which has been filed by the respondent corporation.
b . That not only the reference under section 10 of the 1. D. Act is barred by law of limation , but the reference is also not otherwise maintainable as no berty was granted by the Hon'ble High Court to the petitioner in appeal for making any representation to the Government in respect or reference or for challenging the termination order . The petitioner is also estopped to make any such representation to the Government after 18 years .
It is submitted that the Courts , particularly the Apex Court in rumber or cases has held that the maximum period or making the reference in a case under section 10 of the 1. D. Act should be 7 (Seven ) years from the date or termination and no reference shall be made thereafter by the Government to refer such disputes to the Labour Court . Hence , through the I. D. Act does not provide any limitation under section 10 by the Courts have consistently held that time barred cases should not be referred by the Government to the Labour Court after 7 years . This aspect of law has to be clearly accepted and as per the judgement or the Supreme Court reported in 2006 , Supreme Court Page 2466 , the reference made by the Government is bad in the eyes of law and the claim of the petitioner is liable to be rejected on tis ground only. Copy of the above said judgement is also enclosed herewith asAnnexure . Besides this one more judgement reported in 2006 Supreme Court Page 1843 is also enclosed herewith .
c . That the order of termination does not suffer from any illegality and is required to be upheld in view of the proved charges against the petitioner . The principle of natural justice has been followed 46-22 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha, 1935. 21 No.
by the Inquiry Officer during course or enquiry and the petitioner should not have any grievance . Once the Enquiry Officer has followed the procedure under rules , the order of termination cannot be said to be invalid or illegal on any ground . As already submitted in the facts , that the entire corporation record including the enquiry file of the petitioner was gutted into fire in the fire incident in the year , 2005. Hence the same could not be produced . However the copy or the termination order is on record , which is self speaking about the holding of enquiry and no defect can be pointed out in the enquiry . If the petitioner after submitting his reply to the charge sheet has not participated in the enquiry deliberately, the respondent Corporation or the enquiry officer can not be faulted.
d. That on merit also the petitioner has not made out any case for grant of any relief much less for setting aside the order of termination or for any other consequential relief . The law is well settled by the Courts that the Courts have very limited powers to interfere with the enquiry proceedings or departmental actions based enquiry. The allegations made by the petitioner in his claim petition and written submissions arc general and vague which are against the record and law and can not be accepted . During the Court of his statement , the petitioner has not been able to prove his case under law and no consequential relief even in the shape of arrears as alleged can be granted to the petitioner as the petitioner has categorically stated that he was doing his job and earning his livelihood during the intervening period of his termination . The petitioner has admitted that he was gainfully engaged during the intervening period i . e . after termination and no affidavit has been filed by the petitioner to the effect that during the pendency of the proceedings before this Hon'ble Court to the extent that the petitioner was not gainfully engaged after his termination which affidavit was the requirement of the law. Hence no relief can be granted to the petitioner on any ground . Hence the claim petition of the petitioner is liable to be dismissed and be accordingly dismissed .
Petitioner appeared as his own witness and deposed extensively whereas respondents produced one witness namely Ashwani Kumar and 22 The J & K Govt. Gazette, 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha , 1935. [No. 46-22
evidence of petitioner and respondent was closed at the request of both the parties.
I have heard the Ld. Counsel for the petitioner as well as Ld . Counsel for the respondents and have also perused the statements of the witnesses produced by the petitioner as well as by the respondent . I have also gone through the case law produced by the parties . Apart from it , I have also given my thoughtful consideration . As it reveals , petitioner preferred his claim petition in pursuance to notice issued by this tribunal on 22-02-2006 . Thereafter objections were filed by the respondent on 24-04-2006 . Out of the pleadings or the parties , three issues were framed one pertaining to the maintainability of the petition which was considered as preliminary and was decided in favour of the petitioner and against the respondent by virtue of orders dated 29-01-2008 and file was posted for evidence or the parties upon issues No. 2 and 3. On 19-05-2008 , statement of Bodh Raj as his own witness was recorded and the evidence of the petitioner was closed at the request of the Ld . Counsel for the petitioner and file posted for evidence of the respondent whereupon on 02-12-2008 , statement of Ashwani Kumar, Manager , TRC Jammu was recorded and evidence or the respondent was closed . Thereafter file was posted for arguments . It has been established by the petitioner that his services were terminated on 16-12-1987 . However from the perusal of the file , it further reveals that an award was passed under section 33 - C (2 ) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 on 11-12-1985 when the petition was preferred by the petitioner on 22-12-1983 and was held as under :-
" In the instant case since no inquiry has been held by the management not even any evidence is adduced before this Court despite getting adjournments the punishment of demotion of the petitioner is illegal exfacie . Not only this it is evident from the evidence that a new hand even unqualified has been appointed directly as Pantryman in place ofpetitioner . I therefore , order accordingly and set - aside the demotion of the petitioner with award of the arrear wages , the petitioner shall be entitled to other service benefits in the circumstances" .
As it further reveals that another award was passed dated 17-03-1989 under section 33 -C (2 ) or the Industrial Disputes Act . It No. 46-22 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette, 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha, 1935. 23
transpires that by virtue or award dated 11-12-1985 demotion of Bodh Raj
and was held as illegal . However by virtue of award dated 12-02-1990 was set- aside and was allowed arrears of wages and by virtue of award dated 17-03-1989 termination of the Bodh Raj was set-aside by this Tribunal arrears of Bodh Raj were computed and it was also directed that from the date of 31-10-1989, he shall be paid wages as Pantryman to save him from further inconvenience . As it reveals that upon the filing of SWP No. 185/99 , His Lordship passed the following order :-
" In view of the above discussion , that part of the order which Geclared the termination to be illegal is held to be bad . Respondent No. 2 is held entitled to salary in case he was performing duties in pursuance of interim direction given by the Industrial Court , any other benefit calculated by the Industrial Court while deciding application under section 33 - C ( 2 ) shall remain intact" .
This order of Hon'ble Single Judge of the Hon'ble High Court was assailed by the petitioner Bodh Raj by virtue of letters patent appeal before the Hon'ble High Court but their Lordships upheld the order passed by the Hon'ble Single Judge of the High Court. Hon'ble High Court set- aside the part or the order so far it pertained to declaration of the termination as illegal by this Tribunal upon the ground that since the dispute lias not beeri referred under section 10 or the Ind strial Disputes Act . Therefore it was beyond the scope of jurisdiction of the Tribunal to decide by virtue or provisions contained under section 33 - C (2 ) , which was already pending disposal before this Tribunal but so far entitlement or salary as well as the calculation of other benefits to the petitioner herein above were held to be correct . By deposing petitioner has submitted that he was working as Chowkidar in respondent corporation who came to be promoted as Pantryman and subsequently demoted which gave rise to an Industrial Dispute and vide order dated 11-12-1985 , termination or the petitioner was set- aside and despite award in his favour respondents failed to settle the dispute which prompted the petitioner to initiate proceedings under section 33 - C (2 ) of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 but services of the petitioner were terminated vide order No. 326 / MD / JKTDC of 1987 dated 6-12-1987 and this termination order was immediately set - aside by this Tribunal vide order dated 17-03-1989 . The sole witness produced by the respondent 24 The J & KGovt . Gazette, 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha, 1935. [No. 46-22
namely, Ashwani Kumar deposed that he is ignorant about the facts of the case and has no knowledge of any incident and further deposed that he has no knowledge whether any show cause notice was issued or any proceedings were initiated and also deposed that he is unable to produce any record as the same stands burnt . He also deposed that whether as such inquiry was conducted at Srinagar or Jammu and has also no knowledge as to who passed the termination order of the petitioner . On the other hand petitioner by virtue of his oral and documentary evidence has established that no inquiry much the less a fair inquiry was ever conducted where an opportunity was provided to the petitioner to actively participate . Only a show cause notice seems to have been issued to which petitioner has promptly replied but it could not established by the respondent by virtue of oral or documentary evidence that thereafter any proceedings were held or evidence recorded in presence of the petitioner where he was provided a fair opportunity to cross - examine the witnesses . It has also been established by the petitioner that he was not given a chance to get himself represented by a co - worker and even the report of the inquiry was not made available to the petitioner . It has also been established by the petitioner that any inquiry if ever conducted did not comply the principles of natural justice . The statements of the petitioner inspires sufficient confidence in this Tribunal to hold that the action on the part of the respondent against the petitioner was malafide as he was never allowed to participate in any so called inquiry and nor was provided all opportunity to cross - examine the witnesses and was not given any opportunity to defend himself through a co - worker or any other suitable assistance . No record was produced by the respondents which further established that no inquiry was ever conducted and order of termination was passed in a haste in a malafide manner . The action of the respondent was arbitrary and before termination , no notice was ever issued to the petitioner . The contention or the respondents so far as it pertains to delay in preferring the claim before this tribunal does not hold good in view of the orders passed by this Tribunal by deciding the issue No. I earlier . Copy of the FIR annexed with the file do not lend any support to the respondent so far as termination or the petitioner is concerned . It was the acts and omission on the part of the respondent corporation which compelled the petitioner to approach Hon'ble High Court repeatedly for the sake of redressal of his grievances and also because petitioner being rustic and was Class - IVemployee who could not get sufficient legal assistance which REGD .

Petitioner
Respondents
In the matter of Petition under section 33 (c) , sub - section (2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 read with section 15, sub-section ( 3 ) of the Payment of Wages Act for recovery of the amount of leave salary due to the petitioner.
Appearance : Mr. Muzzafar Ahmad Bakkal for petitioner.
Mr. Sheikh Haroon Rashid Advocate for the management .
Award
1. This is a direct industrial dispute filed by the workman under section 33 ( c ) , sub - section ( 2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 read with section 15 , sub - section (3 ) of Payment of Wages Act for recovery of the amount of leave salary due to the petitioner (hereinafter to be referred as the " Act " ) . It is stated in the claim by the workman that he was appointed as Junior Clerk vide Order No. 1718-07 of 07-03-1977 dated 07-03-1977 in J & K Project Construction Corporation , Srinagar and retired on 31-03-2008 .
2. The petitioner was given the leave salary for four (4 ) months only at the time of his retirement . The petitioner has further contended that respondent , JKPCC was brought within the domain of the State Government vide SRO No. 27 dated 05-02-1998 and the rules and regulations as applicable to the employees of the State are also applicable to the employees of the JKPCC . Since all the rules and regulations as per CSR are applicable to the State Government Employees , so the petitioner was also entitled to the same privileges as of the State Government Employees at par .
No. 46-23 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha , 1935 3
3. That as per SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 all the Government Employees are entitled to 10 months leave salary , so the petitioner is also entitled to leave salary of 10 months equivalent 300 days . The petitioner has been given only 4 months leave salary and 6 months leave salary is outstanding . The leave salary being the retirement benefit falls within the provisions of section 33 (c) (2 ) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. It is also submitted by the petitioner that he has been deceived and dodged by the respondent and due to the inaction of the respondent , the petitioner has filed the present petition seeking the recovery of outstanding leave salary of six months along with interest and compensation on account of mental agony of the petitioner.
4. Upon being served , the respondent filed the objections , inter alia pleading that the petitioner is the employee of the corporation who has got all the pensionary benefits as admissible under the corporation rules . It is further submitted that no cause of action has accrued to the petitioner as he has received all the pensionary benefits along with the other retired personnel of the corporation . The corporation has its own service rules and as per the rules , the corporation pays salary, gratuity etc. to its employees from its own resources , no budget support is made by the Centre or State Government . The respondent has admitted that as per the approval of the Competent Authority of the Corporation ( JKPCC ) , the J& K Service ( Leave Rules ) have been incorporated and made admissible to the employees of the corporation w. e . f. 01-04-2008 and prior to 01-04-2008 , the employees of the corporation were entitled to only 120 days leave encashment as per rules and regulations of JKPCC . The employees of JKPCC were entitled to only 120 days leave encashment and the same has been paid to the petitioner. After a long gap , the petitioner has disputed the leave salary which cannot be permitted at the belated stage .
5. The petitioner has relied upon the photostat copy of service book and one certificate of last pay drawn certificate duly issued by D. D.O.
4 The J & KGovt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/24th Magha , 1935 [No. 46-23
Heard and considered .
6. The petitioner has reiterated the contents of the petition in his arguments whereas the counsel for the respondent prayed for the dismissal of the petition on the plea of no cause of action has accrued to the petitioner and the statement of claim is not maintainable on the ground of latches /belated stage .
7. The moot question for the adjudication by this tribunal is that whether the workman is entitle to leave salary of 300 days and if so , whether the said claim is maintainable under section 33c ( 2 ) of 1. D. Act , 1947. To answer this question it is apt to reproduce section 33c (2 ) of Industrial Disputes Art , 1947 which reads as under :-
"Where any workman is entitled to receive from the employer any money or any benefit which is capable of being computed in terms of money and if any question arises as to the amount of money due or as to the amount at which such benefit should be computed then the question may subject to any rules that may be made under this Act be decided by such Labour Court as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government within a period not exceeding three months provided where the Presiding Officer of Labour Court considers it necessary and expedient so to dọ he mày for the reasons to be recorded in writing extend such period by such further period as he may think fit . "
8. It is also pertinent to reproduce section 15 , sub- section (3 ) of Payment of Wages Act which reads as under :-
"When any application under sub- section (2 ) is entertained , the authority shall hear the applicant and the employer or the other person responsible for payment of wages under section 3 , or give them an opportunity of being heard and after such further inquiry ( if any) as may be necessary, may, without prejudice to any other penalty to which such employer or other person is liable under this Act, direct the refund to the employed person No. 46-23 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 / 24th Magha , 1935 5
of the amount deducted , or the payment of delayed wages , together with the payment of such compensation as the authority may think fit , not exceeding ten times the amount deducted in the former case and [ not exceeding twenty - five rupees in the later , and even if the amount deducted or the delayed wages are paid before the disposal of the application , direct the payment of such compensation , as the authority may think fit , not exceeding two thousand rupees ] " .
9. The Ld . Council for the respondent has argued that in a case entitled " Krishan Prasad Gupta Vs. Controller, Printing and Stationery " , published as AIR 1996 Supreme Court 408 , the Hon'ble Supreme Court has observed that-
"The character and function of the Labour Court under the Industrial Disputes Act , as also the authority under the Payment of Wages Act are similar in purpose and both are designed to produce the same result particularly as some of the provisions under both the Act prescribe the same thing to be done . The Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 and the Payment of Wages Act , 1936 are , therefore , " Corresponding Law " qua each other particularly as both are part of the same social legislative canopy made by the Parliament for immediate amelioration of workmen's plight resulting from non - payment, or delayed payment , or , for that matter , short payment of their wages."
10. In AIR 2010 Supreme Court 3563 in a case entitled " Vijaya Bank Vs. Shyamal Kumar Lodh " the same view was taken . It was observed that-
" 12. From a plain reading of section 33c ( 2 ) , it is evident that money due to a workman has to be decided by such Labour Court " as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government " . Section 7 of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 inter alia confers power to the appropriate Government for constitution of one or more Labour Courts for the adjudication of industrial disputes . It also prescribes qualification for 6 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha , 1935 [ No. 46-23
appointment as Presiding Officer of a Labour Court . Explanation appended to section 33c of the Act provides to include any court constituted under any law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State as Labour Court . The under lying object behind inserting explanation seems to be varying qualification prescribed for appointment of Presiding officers of Labour Court by different State enactments . The Parliament took note of the fact while inserting explanation that there are different kinds of Labour Courts constituted under Industrial Disputes Act and State Acts and a question may arise whether a Labour Court constituted under Acts , Central or State could entertain a claim made under section 33c(2 ) of the Act .
13. An explanation is appended ordinarily to a section to explain the meaning of works contained in that section . In view of the explanation aforesaid Labour Court shall include any Court constituted under any law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State . Money due to an employee under section 33c(2 ) is to be decided by " Labour Court as may be specified in this behalf by the appropriate Government " . Therefore , the expression " Labour Court " in section 33c (2 ) has to be given an extended meaning so as to include Court constituted under any law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State . It widens the choice of appropriate Government and it can specify not only the Labour Courts constituted under section 7 of the Industrial Disputes Act , 1947 but such other Courts constituted under any other law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in any State ."
11. So in view of the above , it is safe to hold that this tribunal is competent to adjudicate dispute raised by the workman .
12. From the perusal of record it is established which is not also disputed by the respondent that the petitioner hereinabove was an employee of the JKPCC . It has also been admitted by the respondent that No. 46-23 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/ 24th Magha , 1935.7
J& K Service ( Leave ) Rules have been made applicable to the employees of JKPCC with effect from 01-04-2008 dated 10-07-2008 and prior to 1-04-2008 , the employees of JKPCC were entitled to 120 days leave encashment and after 1-04-2008 when the J & K Service ( Leave ) Rules were made applicable to the employees of the corporation . It is also not out of place to mention that against the clear admission of the respondents there was no scope for this tribunal to hold further enquiry.
13. To solve the controversy, it is profitable to reproduce SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 which reads as under :-
"Notification
Dated Jammu , the 17th April , 1998 .
SRO - 124 . In exercise of the powers conferred by proviso to section 124 of the Constitution of Jammu and Kashmir, the Governor is pleased to direct that the following amendments shall be made in the J & K Civil Services Regulations , J & K Civil Services ( Leave ) Rules , 1979 and J& K Civil Services ( LTC ) Rules , 1996 :-.

Cash in lieu of leave salary. ( 1 ) A Government servant may be paid cash equivalent of leave salary in respect of period of Earned Leave at his credit at the time of retirement on superannuation .
8 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha , 1935 [ No. 46-23
This concession will be subject to the following conditions :--
( i ) The payment of cash equivalent of leave salary shall be limited to a maximum of 240 days of earned leave ;
(ii ) The cash equivalent of leave salary thus admissible will become payable on retirement and will be paid in one lump sum as a one time settlement ;

No other allowance like Compensatory Allowance , Border Allowance , Muffasil Allowance , House Rent Allowance or any other allowance will be admissible as part of leave salary .
14. The purport of SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 is that the State Government Employees regulated under the JKPCC , CSR , J & K Civil Service ( Leave ) Rules , 1979 and J & K Civil Service Rules ( LTC ) is ertid to maximum limit for accumulation of Earned Leave of 300 days w. e . t . 01-07-1997 .
15. As per Article 82 of sub- clause ( v) of the Memorandum and Articles of Association of JKPCC the Directors shall have the powers with de sanction of the Governor, i . e . to say-
" (V ) To appoint and promote and at their discretion remove , retire or suspend such managers , secretaries , officers , clerks , agents and servants , for permanent , temporary or special service as they may, from time to time think fit and to determine their powers and duties and fix their salaries and emoluments and to require security in such installments and to such amount as they think fit provided that no appointment the maximum pay of which is Rs . 3000 or more per mensum shall be made without the prior approval of the Governor :

imperative to reproduce the Order No. 82/2008 passed by the respondent , JKPCC , which reads as under :-
"Subject :-Implementation of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Service (Leave ) Rules , 1979, Civil Services (Medical Attendance and Allowance ) Rules , 1.990 and T. A. Rules .
Reference :
-Decision taken by the Budget / Establishment Sub- Committee of JKPCC Ltd. under the Chairmanship of Commissioner / Secretary to Government , Finance Department on 10th of April , 2008 vide Order No. 82 of 2008 dated 10-07-2008 . Consequent upon the approval formally conveyed by the Board of Directors in its 83rd meeting held on 17-06-2008 under the Chairmanship of Hon'ble Minister for R & B ( Chairman , JKPCC Ltd. ) , sanction isaccorded to the implementation of the Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services (Leave ) Rules and T. A. Rules as applicable to the State Government employees shall henceforth apply strictly to the employees of the Corporation . This will , however, take effect from 01-04-2008 . However, cases already settled after 01-04-2008 to the date of issuance of orders shall not be reopened.

JKPCC Ltd. , Srinagar, dated 10-7-2008 " .
17. Now the question arises whether the petitioner who retired prior to the issuance of Order No. 82 dated 10-07-2008 is entitled to encashment of 10 months as leave salary . The answer would be in negative because of the reason that the leave rules known as J & K Civil Service ( Leave Rules ) of 1979 has been adopted by the corporation w . e . f. 1-04-2008 . The Order No. 82 of 2008 crystal clear states that-
"The Jammu and Kashmir Civil Services ( Leave ) Rules , 1990 and T. A. Rules as applicable to the State Government employees shall 10 The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014 /24th Magha, 1935. [No. 46-19
henceforth apply strictly to the employees of the Corporation and cases already settled after 01-04-2008 to the date of issuance of order shall not be reopened" .
18. The petitioner has received the benefit under Leave Rules , 1979 as the same were adopted by JKPCC w. e . f. 1-04-2008 . The employee on his retirement shall be entitled to leave salary of 10 months vide SRO - 124 dated 17-04-1998 , if an employee owns leave to credit . If we go by the contention of the petitioner that all the employees who retired before 01-04-2008 are entitle to the benefit of leave salary then all the employees of the State are entitled to leave encashment of 10 months irrespective of year of their retirement on or before 01-07-1997 .
19. The petitioner has also submitted that the petitioner has been ignored of his legitimate right of leave salary encashment of 10 months and same has been withheld , whereas other blue - eyed employees of the corporation were given the leave encashment of 10 months . Though SRO - 124 was issued on 17-04-1998 by the Government of Jammu and Kashmir and the employees of the State Government were given the benefit of leave encashment/leave salary of 10 months on their superannuation w. e . f. 01-07-1997 but the said rules known as JKCSR Leave Rules , 1997 were adopted by the respondent only on 10-07-2008 giving the benefit of leave salary of 10 months to its employees on their superannuation w. e . f . 01-04-2008 .
20. On this account also the petitioner is not found any benefit of Order No. 82 of 2008 of the JKPCC dated 10-07-2008 . So far as the petitioner's argument that some of the employees were provided the benefits of leave salary of 10 months as SRO - 124 passed by the authority under the Payment of Wages Act , there is nothing on the record which could prove that the said order passed by the authority under the Payment of Wages Act District Srinagar ( Assistant Labour Commissioner , Srinagar ) was challenged by the competent authority or not . The petitioner has failed to prove that he is entitled to leave salary of 10 months on his superannuation 30-06-2006.
21. The next limb of arguments of the petitioner is that he has been requesting the respondent time and again for the release of his leave salary No. 46-19 ] The J & K Govt . Gazette , 13th Feb. , 2014/ 24th Magha , 1935. 11
also does not influence the court in the absence of any proof of filing any receipt of filing of any application of representation before the competent authority. If the plea of the petitioner is admitted for arguments sake then there will be a flood gate of litigation by all the retired employees before 01-04-2008 .
22. For what has been discussed above , I am of the concerned view that the workman/ petitioner is not entitle to the relief claimed by him . The petition deserves to be dismissed and the same is dismissed accordingly . File to go to records under rule .
23. A copy of this award be sent to the Government of Jammu and Kashmir through its Commissioner/ Secretary , Labour Department for information and publication in the Government Gazette .
