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

–––––––—––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––———
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.
[No. 16-9

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.
