Memo for Respondents

ORDER/AWARD

The brief facts of the instant case are that the petitioner being

permanent resident of the State of Jammu and Kashmir, came to be engaged

by the Respondent No. 03 as Porter on contractual/daily wage basis from

September, 2002 and after his engagement, the petitioner was smoothly

working as Porter without any service break and also wages were paid

to the petitioner on each and every month and the last paid wages were

Rs. 4600/- per month which was earlier paid by cash and later from the

year 2011, the same was credited in the Saving Bank Account of the

petitioner running in State Bank of India, B/O Chinar Shopping Complex,

Badami Bagh Cantonment, Srinagar, Kashmir and later from the year 2012,

the said wages were credited in the account running in Post Office Branch

lying in the premises of Respondent No. 04, Srinagar, Kashmir in his account

No. 1464150. It is further stated that all of sudden, the Responants, in the

month of January, 2013 restrained the petitioner from entering in the office

premises, by issuing instructions to the gate security officer and accordingly

the petitioner was not allowed to enter into office premises since

January, 2013 and thereafter did not allow the petitioner to perform his duty

which the petitioner was performing since September, 2002 for the reason

best known to them however the petitioner is not aware as to whether any

order of disbanding of the petitioner from his services, has been passed by

the Respondents or not nor any reasons or prior notice has been served

upon the petitioner and ultimately the said illegal act of the Respondents

constrained the petitioner to serve a legal notice to the Respondents

on 30/01/2013 through Mr. Nazir Ahmad Beig, Advocate, J&K High Court,

Srinagar, Kashmir and in response to the said legal notice, the Respondents

have send a reply dated 21/02/2013 where through admitted that the

petitioner was engaged as Porter but have wrongly mentioned that the

petitioner was engaged since April, 2010 when in fact the petitioner has

been engaged since September, 2002 however have mentioned in their

reply that the petitioner has been disengaged w. e. f. December, 2012 and

further have remained silent as to whether any formal order in this regard

has been issued or not. After which the petitioner filed a petition before the

Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner, Srinagar on 26/03/2013 against the

said disbanding of the petitioner from the services by the Respondents but

the same was returned back by the Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner,

Srinagar for want of jurisdiction by observing that the Respondents are not

falling within the definition of “Industry” and also for want of “appropriate

Govt.”. Thereafter the petitioner approached to the Ld. Regional

Commissioner (Central), Jammu, in response to that, the Ld. Regional Labour

Commissioner (Central), Jammu vide his Letter No. 28 (Misc)/2013/

RLC/Jammu dated 09-10-2013, returned the application back, to the

petitioner, with a suggestion to the petitioner, to approach the Ld. Assistant

Labour Commissioner, Srinagar for redressal of his grievances. Upon which

the petitioner thereafter re-approached the Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner,

Srinagar, Kashmir with a fresh application for initiating conciliation proceedings for

resolving the industrial dispute between the petitioner/employee

and Respondents/employer. Upon receiving the said fresh application, the

Respondents were put to notice and filed their written objections to

the said application by taking the same stand as was taken in the supra

reply to the aforesaid legal notice and thereafter the Respondents did not

turn up before the Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner, Srinagar despite

waiting for more than two to three months. It is further stated that despite

lapse of said period of more than two to three months, the petitioner directly

without wasting further time, filed the instant reference petition on 12/05/

2014, before this Tribunal, in view of the provisions of sub-section (2) of

section 2A of the I. D. Act which confers right to the petitioner to file a

reference petition directly before this Tribunal after the expiry of 45 days

from the date of receipt of application by the Conciliation Officer and the

same provision empowers this Tribunal to entertain and adjudicate upon the

issues and claim, prayed for, in the said reference petition.

Upon receiving the instant reference petition, by this Tribunal, the

same has been registered and thereafter the Respondents were put to notice

who caused their appearance and filed their written objections on 26/11/

2014, same has been placed on record and through their aforesaid written

objections, the stand of the Respondents is that the petitioner was engaged

by the Respondent No. 03 as Casual Porter with 7 RR during the period

from April, 2010 to December, 2012 and his appointment was purely need

basis as such the petitioner can neither be reinstated nor can be permanently

absorbed.

The Respondents later have chosen not to appear, consequently, the

Respondents have been set in ex parte on 29/01/2015 resultantly the petitioner

was directed to lead evidence in ex parte. Upon which the petitioner in

addition to his own, has also produced 04 witnesses total 05 witnesses on

affidavits and the same have been placed on record. These 04 witnesses

are Sajad Ahmad Mir, Adil Ali Malla, Mohammad Ashraf Dar and

Mohammad Ishfaq Bhat. All of them have narrated the same story in their

respective affidavits and corroborated the stand of the petitioner in its totality

and thereafter on the submission of the petitioner, the right of producing

more evidence of the petitioner was closed on 06/05/2015 and the instant

reference has been fixed for final arguments.

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

Heard the petitioner and perused the whole record file and after

considering the whole record file, I feel it necessary that before going through

the issues involved in the reference, which are 1) whether the termination

of the petitioner from his services, by the Respondent is justified ? and 2)

Whether the relief prayed for in the reference can be granted or not ? It is

very necessary to go first through the two important issues which touching

the basic requirements, for deciding the jurisdiction of this Tribunal for the

instant reference. These are :––

1. Whether the Respondent’s office, for the purpose of the dispute

referred in this reference of the petitioner, is falling within the

definition of the “Industry” under Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 ?

2. Whether the instant reference petition is maintainable in view

of provisions of sub-section (2) of section 2A of the I. D. Act ?

These are the main legal issues which need to be considered by this

Tribunal before adjudicating upon the factual issues referred to, in the instant

reference petition.

So far as the first legal issue is concerned, i. e. whether the

Respondent’s office, for the purpose of the dispute referred to, in this

reference of the petitioner, is falling within the definition of the “Industry”

under Industrial Dispute Act, 1947 ? In response, I am of this opinion that

the same depends upon the nature of the work done by the petitioner in the

Respondent’s office. If the work which was assigned to the petitioner i. e.

the job of “Porter” is falling within the activity of the Government relatable

to the sovereign function of the Government, then for the purpose of dispute

referred to, in the instant reference petition, the Respondents are not falling

within the definition of “Industry” in view of the Clause (6) of the

Clause (i) of the definition of “Industry” laid down in section 02 under the

Act otherwise, the Respondents are falling within the definition of “Industry”

in view of the definition of “Industry” under the Act. Now to ascertain

whether the nature of the job of “Porter” which the petitioner was assigned

6

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 25th July, 2016/3rd Srav., 1938.

[No. 16-9

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

by the Respondents, is an activity relatable to the sovereign function of the

Government or not ? In response, since the said job of “Porter” i. e. the

Misc. Labour work e. g. gardening, watering plants and also to transport

the essential commodities from one place to another in the Respondent’s

premises at Badami Bagh, is not any activity relatable in any way directly

or indirectly to sovereign function of the Government but is purely a

distribution of goods for human consumption. The Porter’s job is totally

different to all activities related to sovereign functions of the Government

because for sovereign functions of the Government, all activities related to

it, are permanent basis but not on need and requirement basis and since the

Respondents in the present case in their aforesaid objections expressly and

clearly stated that the job of Porter assigned to the petitioner is temporary

basis and also need and requirement basis so there is no activity relatable to

sovereign function of the Government on temporary and need basis. There

are two kinds of activities done in the Respondents premises, one those

activities which are directly related to protect the sovereignty of the

Government or State and so far as these activates are concerned, the

Respondents are not falling within the definition of “Industry” under the

Act but so far as activities other than these related to protection of the

sovereignty of the Government, like Porter job i. e. like petitioner’s job, the

same is not directly or indirectly the activity related to protecting the

sovereignty of the State. So on these basis, for the purpose of the dispute

referred to, in the instant reference, I am of this opinion that the Respondents

are falling within the definition of “Industry” under the Act.

Now so far as the second issue is concerned i. e. whether the instant

reference petition is maintainable in view of provisions of sub-section (2) of

section 2A of the I. D. Act in view of I. D. Amendment Act, 2010 ? In

response, I am of this opinion that since after verbal disbanding of the

petitioner from his services, by the Respondent, the petitioner went pillar to

post for redressal of his grievances against his verbal termination from his

services. Initially the petitioner sent a legal notice to Respondents, thereafter

approached the Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner, Srinagar who initially

returned back the said petition by stating that the Respondent is not falling

within the definition of “Industry” and also want of appropriate Government

and subsequently the petitioner approached the Ld. Regional Commissioner

(Central), Jammu, in response to that, the Ld. Regional Labour

Commissioner (Central), Jammu vide his letter No. 28 (Misc)/2013/RLC/

Jammu dated 09-10-2013, returned the application back, to the petitioner,

with a suggestion to the petitioner, to approach the Ld. Assistant Labour

Commissioner, Srinagar for redressal of his grievances and accordingly the

petitioner reapproached the said Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner,

Srinagar with a fresh application for redressal of his said grievances along

with reply to the above said two quarries which earlier was raised by Ld.

Assistant Labour Commissioner, Srinagar but at this time, after his

satisfaction over reply to said two quarries, the Ld. Assistant Labour

Commissioner, Srinagar initiated the proceedings by issuing a notice to the

Respondents who later appeared and submitted their written objections to

the said application and later chosen not to appear and subsequently when

the Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner, Srinagar failed to submit the failure

report within the period of 45 days despite lapse of more than two/three

months, the petitioner in view of above referred provision incorporated in

the said Act by the Govt. of India in 2010 which is in force w. e. f. 15th day

of September, 2010 by virtue of notification issued by Ministry of Labour

and Employment, Notification No. S. O. 227(E) dated September 15,

2010 published in the Gazette of India, Extra. dated 15th September, 2010,

P. I. No. 1928, the petitioner without wasting any further time presented

the instant reference petition before this Tribunal on 12-05-2014. Under the

said amended Act, 2010, this Tribunal has powers to entertain and receive a reference

petition directly from the workman after expiry of 45 days, from the date of receipt

of application by the Conciliation Officer of the appropriate Government.

Now since after the expiry of 45 days, a right accrued to the petitioner

under the aforesaid amendment of 2010 to approach directly to this Tribunal

with a reference petition but question here arises that whether the Ld. Assistant

Labour Commissioner, Srinagar who acted as Conciliation Officer in the instant

8

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 25th July, 2016/3rd Srav., 1938.

[No. 16-9

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

reference prior to the presentation of the instant reference before this

Tribunal, has jurisdiction to act as Conciliation Officer in the instant matter

the same depends upon whether the appropriate Govt. for the Respondent

Industry is State Government or Central Government. In response, I am of

this opinion that it is immaterial to this Tribunal whether the appropriate

Govt. for the present reference is State Govt. or Central Govt. because

under the Act, this Tribunal has jurisdiction for both State Govt. as well as

Central Government. But for the maintainability of the present reference

which has been presented before this Tribunal directly by the petitioner

without reference by the appropriate Government because of the aforesaid

amendment of 2010 but the material point is that the instant reference

moved under amendment of 2010, is only maintainable when this reference

petition is moved after the expiry of 45 days from the date of receipt of the

application by the Conciliation Officer of the appropriate Government, the

same fact is proved from the record that the instant reference petition has

been moved before this Tribunal after the expiry of 45 days from the date

of receipt of the application from the petitioner, by the Ld. Assistant Labour

Commissioner, Srinagar and subsequently by Regional Labour Commissioner

(Central), Jammu and then again by the Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner,

Srinagar but the question here arises whether the Assistant Labour

Commissioner, Srinagar has powers to intervene in the dispute referred to,

in the instant reference petition, the answer is certainly ‘yes’ because had

he not having such powers for the purpose of the dispute with reference to

the instant petition, then he would not have entertained the said application

nor he would have acted upon nor he would have issued a notice to the

Respondents. And nor the Ld. Regional Labour Commissioner (Central),

Jammu would have suggested the petitioner to approach the Ld. Assistant

Labour Commissioner. Besides that undisputedly the Ld. Assistant Labour

Commissioner and Dy. Labour Commissioner, Kashmir is the referral

authority and also Conciliation Officers in view of THE INDUSTRIAL

DISPUTES (JAMMU AND KASHMIR STATE) RULES, 1972 read with

S. R. O. 405 of 1986 dated 18/07/1986 Labour, Stationary and Printing

Department while as the Chief Labour Commissioner (Central) and the

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 25th July, 2016/3rd Srav., 1938.

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

Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central) are the only referral authorities

but not Conciliation Officers for dispute related to industry for which the

appropriate Government is Central Government. in view of sub-clause (f)

of section 02 of the “INDUSTRIAL DISPUTES (CENTRAL) RULES,

1957”. In said rules framed by Central Government, there is no talk of

appointment of Conciliation Officers but is only talk of Referral Authorities.

Conciliation Officers and the Referral Authorities were earlier one and a

same thing under the Central Industrial Dispute Rules, 1957 but prior to the

amendment of 2010 however after the amendment of 2010 of the Act, the

said two terms have now become two different terms because prior to said

amendment of 2010, the reference petition can’t be filed directly before

this Tribunal without the reference by the Referral Central Government but

after submitting the failure report to the appropriate Government by the

Referral Authorities of the Central Government, under aforesaid rules, the

Referral Authorities of the Central Govt. were submitting failure reports to

the Central Government and thereafter the appropriate Government was

later were making reference of the Industrial Dispute, for adjudication, to

this Tribunal that is why the said Referral Authorities were earlier acting as

in dual capacity i. e. as Conciliation Officers as well as Referral Authorities

under the Act but after the amendment of 2010, the said rules framed by

Central Government has become partly redundant because after such

amendment the making of reference of the Industrial Dispute by above

said Referral Authorities are not now sine quo non (Pre requisite formality)

for referring the Industrial Dispute to the Central Govt. who later would

have referred the same to this Tribunal. None of the officer has been

appointed as Conciliation Officer by the Central Government for the purpose

of the amendment of 2010 of the Act especially for the purpose of

amendment of sub-section (2) of section 2A of the I. D. Act. No doubt

that the above said officers of the Labour Department of Central Government

are Referral Authorities under the aforesaid rules but not Conciliation Officers

for the purpose of amendment of sub-section (2) of section 2A of the Act

incorporated by amendment of 2010 by Govt. of India. But despite of that the

petitioner has approached the Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner, Srinagar at the

10

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 25th July, 2016/3rd Srav., 1938.

[No. 16-9

first instance and then to the Regional Labour Commissioner (Central),

Jammu and then again to Ld. Assistant Labour Commissioner, Srinagar

and after which to this Tribunal, after the expiry of more than 02/03 months

from the date of receipt of the application by the Ld. Assistant Labour

Commissioner as such the conditions laid down in the sub-section (2) of

section 2A of the I. D. Act has been strictly complied with as such this

Tribunal has jurisdiction under sub-section (2) of section 2A of the I. D.

Act, to adjudicate upon the instant reference petition.

Now coming to the factual and substantial issues of the matter these

are as under :––

(1) Whether the termination of the petitioner from his services by

the Respondent, is justified ?

(2) Whether the relief prayed for in the reference can be granted

or not ?

So far as the Issue No. 01 is concerned, I am of this opinion that

since the petitioner being permanent resident of the State of Jammu and

Kashmir, came to be engaged by the Respondent No. 03 as Porter on

contractual/ daily wage basis from September, 2002 and after his

engagement, was smoothly working as Porter without any service break

and also wages were paid to the petitioner each and every month and the

last paid wages were Rs. 4600/- per month which was earlier paid by cash

and later from the year 2011 the same was credited in the Saving Bank

Account of the petitioner running in State Bank of India, B/O Chinar

Shopping Complex, Badami Bagh Cantonment, Srinagar, Kashmir and later

from the year 2012 the said wages were credited in the account running in

Post Office Branch lying in the premises of Respondent No. 04, Srinagar,

Kashmir in his Account No. 1464150 but later all of sudden, the petitioner has been

disbanded verbally w. e. f. January, 2013 without assigning any reason and also

without any prior notice, after which a legal notice was served upon the Respondents,

No. 16-9]

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 25th July, 2016/3rd Srav., 1938.

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

to which, the Respondents have also replied the same, the copy of which is

on record, where through admitted that the petitioner was engaged as Porter

but have mentioned that the petitioner was engaged since April, 2010 and

has been disengaged w. e. f. December, 2012 but have remained silent

about the passing of any order of termination in writing. However since the

petitioner’s stand is that he has been engaged since September, 2002 and

since then was continuously working there as Porter and in support of this,

the petitioner has produced four witnesses, in addition to his own statement,

all of them corroborated the stand of the petitioner. Now the question whether

the petitioner was engaged since September, 2002 or from April, 2010 but it

is admitted fact the petitioner has been disbanded w. e. f. December, 2012.

Taking April, 2010 as date of engagement instead of September, 2002 as

date of engagement, as such on the basis of such admission on the part of

the Respondents, it shows that the petitioner has worked with the

Respondents since April, 2010 to December, 2012 i. e. for more than

240 days for a calendar year as such under law a petitioner is a protected

workman and a statutory right has accrued to him under section 25B and

25F of the Act by virtue of which the petitioner cannot be disengaged from

his services, by the Respondents, without following the due procedure laid

down under section 25B and 25F of the Act and any dereliction from such

set procedure makes the termination order illegal, and bad in the eyes of

law as such being that legal position, the termination of the petitioner from

his services, by the Respondent is illegal, invalid, unwarranted and uncalled

for and against the principle of natural justice. In view of the above facts

and circumstances, the petitioner has rendered services for more than 240

days in calendar year as required as such is protected workman in terms of

Act as such since statutory obligation casts upon the Respondent to assign

reasons for termination and to give prior notice to the petitioner before

terminating his services, which has not been done in the present case but in

turn the Respondent has terminated the services of the petitioner in gross

violation of the provisions of section 25B and 25F of the Act. In support of

this, the petitioner relied upon case law, Titled Ramesh Kumar V/s. State of

12

The J&K Govt. Gazette, 25th July, 2016/3rd Srav., 1938.

Haryana at Para No.13 (AIR 2010 SC 683) in which the Hon’ble Apex

Court held as under :––

“It is to be noted that in the case of termination of casual employee

what is required to, be seen is whether a workman has completed

240 days in the proceeding twelve months or not. If sufficient

materials are shown that workman has completed 240 days then

his service cannot be terminated without giving notice or

compensation in lieu of it in terms of section 25F. The High Court

failed to appreciate that in the present case appellant has completed

240 days in the preceding 12 months and no notice or compensation

in lieu of it was given to him, in such circumstances, his termination

was illegal”.

Since there is nothing sustainable accepting the averment that the

petitioner had left the service at his own as such from the above referred

provision and also the above referred Judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Court,

I reached on this conclusion that the termination of the petitioner from his

services, by the Respondents, is illegal, invalid, unwarranted and uncalled

for and against the principle of natural justice. Therefore, the termination

of the petitioner by Respondents, is hereby set aside and Respondents are

directed to reinstate the petitioner forthwith.

Now coming to the Issue No. 02, the Issue No. 02 was dependent

upon the Issue No. 01 and since for the aforesaid reasons the termination

of the petitioner from his services, by the Respondents, has been declared

as illegal, invalid, unwarranted and uncalled for and against the principle of

natural justice, and has been ordered to be reinstated forthwith and since

the petitioner is fighting for his reinstatement from last 04 years before

different forums and this Tribunal and since the petitioner has stated that he

is not employed anywhere during this period and more so since the petitioner

has suffered a lot during this long period of 04 years during which the

petitioner not only suffered financially but also mental agony as such under

these peculiar circumstances, the petitioner is entitled for all full back wages

since his termination which the petitioner is entitled under law, relying upon

the Judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court Titled Hindustan Tin Works V/s. Its

Employees (AIR 1979 S. C. 75) in which the Hon’ble Apex Court in para

No. 09, 10 and 11 held as under :––

“It is no more open to debate that in the field of Industrial

Jurisprudence a declaration can be given that the termination of

service is bad and the workman continues to be in service. The

spectre of Common Law doctrine that contract of personal service

cannot be specifically enforced or the doctrine of mitigation of

damages does not haunt this branch of law. The relief of

reinstatement with certainty of service can be granted where

termination of service is found to be invalid. It would mean that

the employer has taken away illegally the right to work of the

workman contrary to the relevant law or in breach of contract

and simultaneously deprived the workman of his earnings. If thus

the employer is found to be in the wrong as a result of which the

workman is directed to be reinstated, the employer could not shirk

his responsibility of paying the wages which the workman has

been deprived of by the illegal or invalid action of the employer.

Speaking realistically, where termination of service is questioned

as invalid or illegal and the workman has to go through the gamut

of litigation, his capacity to sustain himself throughout the protracted

litigation is itself such an awesome factor that he may not survive

to see the day when law’s proverbial delay has become stupefying.

If after such a protracted time and energy consuming litigation

during which period, the workman sustains himself, ultimately he

is to be told that though he will be reinstated, he will be denied to

back wages which would be due to him, the workman would be

subjected to a sort of penalty for no fault of his and it is wholly

undeserved. Ordinarily, therefore, a workman whose service has

been illegally terminated would be entitled to be full back wages

except to the extent he was gainfully employed during the enforced

idleness. That is the normal rule. Any other view would be a

premium on the unwarranted letigative activity of the employer. If

the employer terminates the service, the service illegally and the

termination is motivated as in this case ; viz. to resist the workman’s

demand for revision of wages, termination may well amount to

unfair labour practice. In such circumstances reinstatement being

the normal rule it should be followed with full back wages.

Articles 41 and 43 of the Constitution would assist us in reaching

a just conclusion in this respect.......................... In this very nature

of things there cannot be a strait jacket formula for awarding relief

of back wages. All relevant considerations will enter the verdict.

More or less, it would be a motion addressed to the discretion of

the Tribunal. Full back wages would be the normal rule and the

party objecting to it must establish the circumstances necessitating

departure. At that stage, the Tribunal will exercise its discretion

keeping in view all the relevant circumstances.”

For the foregoing reasons, the issue No. 02 is also decided in favour

of the petitioner and against the Respondents as such the petitioner is entitled

to all full back wages including the period from his termination till the

petitioner resumes his services with all benefits.

Accordingly the Respondents are directed to reinstate the petitioner

forthwith and with a further direction to Respondents to pay the aforesaid

full back wages in favour of the petitioner within a period of three months

failing which thereafter the Respondents have to pay the said full back

wages to the petitioner along with interest @ 08% till final realization.

The reference petition filed by the petitioner, in view of amendment

of sub-section (2) of section 2A of the Industrial Dispute Act, 1947

incorporated by amendment of 2010, is answered accordingly. Copy of this

award be sent to the Appropriate Government through its Commissioner/

Secretary, Labour Department for information and publication in the

Government Gazette.

File after its due compilation be consigned to records.
