Petitioner

Versus

Managing Director, J&K State Industrial Development Corporation Ltd.,

Drabu House, Ram Bagh, Srinagar.

Respondent.

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 Payment of Wages Act for recovery

of the amount of leave salary for the period of 1.50

months (45 days only) due to the Petitioner.

_______

AWARD

Petition under section 33-C (2) of Industrial Disputes Act read with

section 15, sub-section (3) of Payment of Wages Act was preferred by the

petitioner averring therein that the petitioner was appointed initial

appointment as senior stenographer w. e. f. December, 1981 and retired

on superannuation on 30th June, 2010 vide Order No. SIDCO/CO/10/214

dated 17-07-2010. Corporation was brought within the domain of State

with regard to the rules and regulations applicable to the employees of the

SIDCO as such leave rules were made applicable to the respondents.

That in terms of SRO-124 dated 17-04-1998 the respondents are

bound to pay ten (10) months leave salary to the petitioner and vide

Government Notification Order No. 19GR of 1980 dated 20-04-1980 ten

months leave salary is admissible. That the petitioner is a workman and

Respondent No. 1 is the employer under section 22 of Industrial Disputes

Act and is responsible for the payment of wages under section 3 of the

Act. That the petitioner is entitled to receive the leave salary for a period of

ten months whereas the respondent has paid only 255 days leave salary to

the petitioner who is otherwise entitled to receive 300 days leave salary

due to him. That the leave salary is the retirement benefit of the petitioner

and the petitioner is within his rights to seek the redressal of his grievance

under the provisions of Payment of Wages Act. That the cause of action

has accrued to the petitioner on the date when the leave salary became due

that is 30-06-2010 and is recurring cause as being a claim against the

respondents. That the petitioner was appointed in District Srinagar and the

2

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 16th Nov., 2015/25th Kart., 1937. [No. 33-1

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—–––—————

respondents Headquarters is also within the jurisdiction of this Hon’ble

Tribunal. Petitioner finally prayed that a direction be issued to the

respondents under section 15, sub-section (3) of the Payment of Wages

Act for the payment of leave salary to the tune of Rs. 73,560/- as per last

pay certificate (Revised) issued by the SIDCO.

Notice was issued to the respondents whereupon learned standing

counsel for the respondents caused appearance and filed objections averring

therein that the petitioner was an employee of the Corporation who retired

on 30-06-2010 and had taken all the benefits as are admissible under the

corporation rules. That the petitioner has taken his leave salary benefits at

the time of his retirement subject to the non-availability of leave as per

Corporation rules and nothing is withheld with the Corporation. That this

court has no jurisdiction to entertain such claims after the retirement of any

employee as the petitioner has accepted the benefits at the time of retirement

from the employment of the Corporation and the petitioner has no reason to

claim the benefits which are not admissible under SIDCO rules as the

Corporation is paying salary to the employees out of its own resources and

has no Budgetary support of the State or the Central Government. That as

per Order No. SIDCO/MD/CO/08/182 dated 17-10-2008 of the competent

authority the J&K Service (Leave) Rules have been made applicable to

the employees of this Corporation SIDCO. Leave salary cannot dispute

the rules after retirement from Corporation.

The file was posted for further proceedings. I have heard the learned

counsel for the petitioner and the respondents also. I have also perused the

connected record placed on file and from the perusal of the service record

it reveals that the petitioner superannuated on 30-06-2010. It further reveals

that upon superannuation leave salary for 45 days was also sanctioned by

the respondents.

It is apt to reproduce section 33 C (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

No. 33-1]

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 16th Nov., 2015/25th Kart., 1937.

–––––––—–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––———

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 do he may for the reasons to be recorded in writing extend such

period by such further period as he may think fit.”

It is apt 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] :”

From the perusal of the provisions contained under section 33 C (2)

of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as well as under section 15,

sub-section (3) of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 it reveals that this

tribunal is competent to adjudicate. From the perusal of record it is established

which is not also disputed by the respondents that the petitioner hereinabove

was a bona fide employee of the SIDCO who superannuated

on 30-06-2010 as reflected in the copy of the service book placed on file.

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 16th Nov., 2015/25th Kart., 1937. [No. 33-1

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––—–––—————

This factum of retirement of petitioner on 30-06-2010 has been admitted by

the respondent in Para 1 of their objections placed on the file. It has also

been admitted by the respondent that J&K Service (Leave) Rules have

been made applicable to the employees of SIDCO accorded for adoption

of 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.

Therefore, it is not understood that when J&K Service (Leave) Rules

were made applicable with effect from SRO-124 dated 17-04-1998. Then

why leave salary was withheld by the SIDCO Corporation as the petitioner

had retired on 30-06-2010. Who was entitled for 10 months leave encashment

salary but the same was withheld by the SIDCO which speaks volumes

about the conduct of the Corporation while dealing with its own employees

and took a different stand that since the petitioner has already retired and

therefore any claim of the petitioner shall not be reopened. However, it is

made clear that the claim of the petitioner has been withheld by the

Corporation. Who was otherwise entitled to 10 months Leave Salary

encashment and the claim of the petitioner is recurring as such is not hit by

any limitation period. It has also surprised this tribunal that when the

applicability of J&K Service (Leave) Rules have been admittedly made

applicable then on what justification the claim of the petitioner stands

withheld. It is not out of place to mention that J&K Service (Leave)

Rules were made applicable vide Office No. SIDCO/MD/CO/08/182

dated 17-10-2008 with effect from immediate effect as per J&K Civil Service

Rules, 1979 by none other than the respondent Corporation itself, thus

non-disbursement to the petitioner amounts to withholding of valid claim of

the petitioner which cannot be permitted in those circumstances. More so

the claim of the petitioner has already been recognized and settled by the

respondents when the J&K Service (Leave) Rules were made applicable

to the Corporation as such are required to be computed and paid to the

petitioner hereinabove without any inordinate delay. Therefore, in such

circumstances it is held that the petitioner is entitled to leave encashment

salary of 10 months as per J&K Service (Leave) Rules are applicable in

No. 33-1]

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 16th Nov., 2015/25th Kart., 1937.

Corporation. As such petitioner is entitled for ten months leave salary and

he has already received leave salary for 255 days so rest 45 days are to be

payable which amount Rs. 73,560/- only any amount already received on

account of leave encashment salary by the petitioner shall be deducted.

It is further directed that respondents shall also pay an amount of

Rs. 3000/- as compensation to the petitioner. The amount shall be paid to

the petitioner within a period of one month from the date of Award by the

respondent failing which the petitioner shall be entitled to interest @ 8%

per annum.

For what has been discussed above, I am of the concerned view that

the petitioner is entitled to the relief claimed by him. The file after due

completion be consigned to records under rules.

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.
