(ii) The Respondent Management did not provide

any documents such as Identity Card, Appointment

Order, Regularization Order, Salary Pay Slip, Overtime

Salary, Festival Bonus, etc., to the above-mentioned

20 workmen. In connection to this, there were several

rounds of negotiations held between the workmen

and Respondent Management. As all ended in vein,

the Petitioner Union approached the Labour Officer

(Conciliation) on 07-07-2020 and raised the industrial

dispute. The Respondent Management does not

follow any rules and regulations prescribed under

Labour Welfare Legislations and Factories Act, 1948.

All the workmen employed in the Respondent

Management are permanent employees. The Respondent

Management is employing the contract employees for

carrying out chemical and hazardous work which are

purely skilled in nature. It is a gross violation of the

provisions under the Factories Act, 1948.

(iii) In the Conciliation proceedings on the

petition filed by the Petitioner Union, the Respondent

Management was instructed to produce some

registers relating to Attendance, Salary, Overtime,

Bonus, Accident and Leave before Labour Officer

(Conciliation). But, the Respondent Management did

not produce the same. The above-mentioned

20 workmen are permanent workers of the Respondent

Management and the same can be seen from the

agreement, dated 07-11-2020 entered between

Respondent Management and Petitioner Union.

Respondent Management has issued Identity Card,

Appointment Order, Regularization Order, Salary Pay

Slip, Overtime Salary, etc., to the other employees.

But, it refused to extend those benefits to the petition

mentioned 20 workmen, which is totally biased and

amounts to unfair labour practice. Hence, the petition.

3. Notice served to both the Petitioner and

Respondent. Petitioner appeared. Whereas, the

Respondent has not appeared. Service sufficient.

Respondent called absent and set ex parte on 14-02-2023.

Claim petition filed by the Petitioner on same day.

4. Point for determination:

Whether the Petitioner Workmen are entitled for

the prayer for issuance of Identity Cards, Appointment

Order, Regularization Order and Monthly Salary Pay

Slip as prayed in the Claim Petition?

5. On point:

Petitioner/Secretary of the Petitioner Union

examined himself as PW1. Ex.P1 to P8 were marked.

Since, Respondent set ex parte, no counter and

cross-examination done on PW.1. Heard the Petitioner.

6. On the point:

The

Labour

Department,

Government

Puducherry referred this industrial dispute for

reinstatement of 5 workmen as mentioned in the

reference with back wages and attendant benefits

and to decide whether any employer employee

relationship between the said 5 workmen and

Respondent Management. Claim petition filed by the

Petitioner Union wherein it is sought for the issuance

of Identity Card, Appointment Order, Regularization

Order, Salary Pay Slip, etc., to the 20 workmen

mentioned in the claim petition. Respondent set

ex parte for his non appearance. Proof affidavit filed

by the Petitioner Union and the same taken on file.

Along with the proof affidavit, the Petitioner Union

has filed eight documents as exhibits.

7. Heard the Petitioner Union. During arguments the

Petitioner Union represented that presently the 5 workmen

mentioned in the reference have reinstated by the

Respondent Management and they got back their

employment. Hence, the relief of reinstatement does not

arise. Further, he also stated in the claim statement as

well as in the proof affidavit filed by the Petitioner

Union that the prayer of the Petitioner Union is only

with regard to an order directing the Respondent

Management to issue Identity Cards, Appointment

Order, Regularization Order and Salary Pay Slip to the

workmen. Memo also filed by the Petition Union during

arguments to this effect. It is a case of the Petitioner

Union that some of the employees working under the

Respondent Management were issued with the said

documents such as Identity Cards, Appointment Order,

Regularization Order and Salary Pay Slip. Only the

20 workmen mentioned in the list found in the claim

(1)

(2)

(3)

(4)

160

LA GAZETTE DE L’ETAT

[20 February 2024

statement have not been issued with Identity Cards,

Appointment Order, Regularization Order and Salary Pay

Slip. On Petitioner side Ex.P4 which is the minutes of

the meeting held on 07-11-2020 produced, wherein the

terms and conditions of the settlement as per demand,

dated 21-09-2020 are listed out. In the Ex.P4 it is

mentioned that Labourers are agreed to come back to

work in factory from 09-11-2020. Ex.P6 is a claim

submitted by the Petitioner Union before the Labour

Officer (Conciliation), wherein the demand of issuance

of Identity Cards, Appointment Order, Regularization

Order and Salary Pay Slip were placed along with

request for reinstatement. Since the prayer for issuance

of Identity Cards, Appointment Order, Regularization

Order and Salary Pay Slip to the workmen has been duly

raised before the Labour Officer (Conciliation), though

presently the workmen were given re-employment as

seen from the memo filed by the Petitioner Union, this

Court felt that the claim of the Petitioner Union seeking

for an order directing the Respondent Management to

issue Identity Cards, Appointment Order, Regularization

Order and Salary Pay Slip as proper and maintainable.

8. The Respondent Management did not appear

before this Court nor submitted its version of objection

on the claim petition filed by the Petitioner Union.

Having remained ex parte, the Respondent Management

has not chosen to rebut the evidence and the claim filed

by the Petitioner Union and the claim remained

un-rebutted and un-shattered. Being the employers

working under the Respondent Management, it is the

bounden duty of the Respondent Management to issue

Identity Cards, Appointment Order, Regularization Order

and Salary Pay Slip to its workmen. Hence, the point

for determination is decided accordingly in favour of

the Petitioner Union and the claim is allowed.

9. In the result, the industrial dispute raised by the

Petitioner Union is justified. As the 5 workmen

mentioned in the reference were already reinstated, the

Respondent Management is hereby directed to issue the

Identity Cards, Appointment Order, Regularization Order

and Monthly Salary Pay Slip to the workmen in accordance

with law as prayed in the claim petition. No costs.

This Industrial Dispute coming on 05-06-2023 before

me for final hearing in the presence of Thiruvalargal

A. Mithun Chakravarthy and R. Jayaraman, Counsels

for the Petitioner, Respondent remained ex parte as

counter not filed and after hearing the Petitioner side

and perusing the case records, this Court delivered the

following:

AWARD

This Industrial Dispute arises out of the reference

made by the Government of Puducherry vide G.O. Rt.

No. 159/Lab./AIL/T/2022, dated 20-12-2022 of the Labour

Department, Puducherry, to resolve the following

dispute between the Petitioner and the Respondent, viz.,

(a) Whether the dispute raised by the Petitioner

Thiru M. Mohan Kumar against the Management of

M/s. Matrix Stampi Limited, Sedarapet, Puducherry,

over his non-employment along with back wages

and other attendant benefits is justified or not?

If justified, what relief he is entitled to?

(b) To compute the relief, if any, awarded in terms

of money if, it can be so computed?

2. Brief facts of the case of the Petitioner:

The Petitioner is a workman, employed in the

Respondent establishment at Puducherry and from

06-09-2011 onwards he was receiving monthly wages

from the Respondent Management with deduction of

EPF and ESI. The Petitioner was in service he had

discharged his duty efficiently without any adverse

remarks.

(ii) That on 28-11-2018, the Respondent

Management had issued a show cause notice to the

Petitioner with false allegation and for the same, the

Petitioner has given reply on 01-12-2018 and the

Respondent has again issued another show cause

notice with new false allegation on 05-12-2018 and

for the same, the Petitioner has given reply on

06-12-2018. The Petitioner is no way connected to

the false allegation, after receiving the reply by the

Respondent, surprisingly, the Respondent on

06-03-2021 the Respondent had issued a Termination

Order to Petitioner without any reasonable cause and

without assigning reason simply denied employment

to the Petitioner. After denial of employment, the

Petitioner approached the Respondent in person and

also made several requests to the Respondent to

provide employment but, the Respondent did not pay

any heed on the request of the Petitioner. Further,

the Respondent has sent a cheque of ` 44,120 along

with the Termination Order and the petitioner has

returned the same to the Respondent. The act of the

Respondent is a clear act of victimization, which

amount to unfair labour practice.

(iii) The termination of Petitioner Mohan Kumar

on 06-03-2021 is an unfair labour practice and illegal

and it is liable to be set-aside. The Petitioner is

entitled to reinstate with full back wages, continuity

of service, and all other attendant benefits. The

termination of Petitioner Mohan Kumar without any

reasonable cause to the Petitioner is arbitrary, illegal

and clear act of violation of principles of natural

justice and violation of model standing order and it

is clear of unfair labour practice as enumerated in

Schedule V part I clause (a), (b), (d), (f) and 16 of

the Industrial Disputes Act. Further, denial of

employment in violation of section 25(F) of the

Industrial Disputes Act which is illegal.

(iv) The Petitioner was employed in the year 2011.

Ever since till, he was illegally terminated from

service he had been continuously working in the

Respondent establishment. The Respondent terminated

162

LA GAZETTE DE L’ETAT

[20 February 2024

the Petitioner from service on certain misconduct, but,

before terminating the Petitioner, the Respondent had

not conducted any enquiry to prove the charge

against the Petitioner but, without conducting

enquiry terminated the service of the Petitioner which

is violation of Industrial Employment Standing Order

applicable to the Respondent establishment and

therefore, the termination order is illegal.

(v) The Petitioner from date of joining till he

terminated from service he has rendered more than

9 years continuous service and therefore, the

termination of the Petitioner service in violation of

provision of section 25(F) of the Industrial Disputes

Act is illegal. Hence, the claim for the reinstatement.

3. Notice served to both the Petitioner and

Respondent. Petitioner appeared and engaged an

Advocate to represent him and filed Claim Statement,

but, the Respondent inspite of receipt of notice has

remained

absent

and

hence,

the

Respondent

Management was set ex parte on 18-01-2023.

4. Point for determination:

Whether the Petitioner Workman is entitled for the

prayer of reinstatement and other benefits as prayed

in the Claim Petition?

5. On Point:

Respondent remained ex parte and the Petitioner

filed Proof affidavit and examined himself as PW1.

Exs.P1 to P9 were marked.

6. On the point:

The learned Counsel for the Petitioner in his

argument submitted that ever since the date of his

appointment on 06-09-2011 the Petitioner has

discharged his duties without any adverse remarks

and without any misconduct. The learned Counsel

for Petitioner further submitted that while so on

28-11-2018, the Respondent Management had issued

a show cause notice to the Petitioner with false

allegation and for the same, the Petitioner has given

reply on 01-12-2018 and the Respondent has again

issued another show cause notice with new false

allegation on 05-12-2018 and for the same, the

Petitioner has given reply on 06-12-2018, but,

surprisingly after lapse of three years on 06-03-2021,

the Respondent had issued a Termination Order to

Petitioner without any reasonable cause and without

assigning reason simply denied employment to the

Petitioner. The learned Counsel for Petitioner further

submitted that the Respondent Management without

conducting proper domestic enquiry has terminated

the Petitioner from service and the same is unknown

to the labour jurisprudence and therefore, pray for

reinstatement of the Petitioner in the services of the

Respondent management with continuity of service

and all other attendant back wages.

7. This Court has carefully considered the evidence

of PW1 exhibits marked on the Petitioner side and the

arguments advanced by the learned Counsel for the

Petitioner side. Since, the Respondent management has

not considered the request of the Petitioner, it is found

that the Petitioner has approached the Labour

Conciliation Officer and later the Conciliation also ended

in failure hence, the reference has been made to this

Court for adjudication.

8. This Court finds that though the Respondent

management has raised various allegations as against

the Petitioner in the documents filed by the Petitioner

it is found that there is no any document to show that

proper enquiry has been held with regard to the said

allegations. Further, it is not the case of the Respondent

that the petitioner was gainfully employed

somewhere else.

9. The Petitioner is found to be in the services of

the Company for about 9 years. The Respondent

management has not followed the principles of law and

the principles of natural justice before terminating the

services of the Petitioner. The Petitioner who was in the

services of the Respondent company would have

certainly affected by the unexpected termination of his

employment. Under Article 21 of the Constitution the

right to life includes right to live with human dignity

one cannot live with human dignity when his

employment is at peril. This Court is of the considered

opinion that the Respondent management having failed

to follow the principles of law and the principles of

natural justice is liable to reinstate the Petitioner with

continuity of service, back wages and all other attendant

benefits.

In the result, the petition is allowed. The Respondent

Management is directed to reinstate the Petitioner with

continuity of service. The respondent management is

further directed to pay his back wages with full back

wages and all other attendant benefits. There is no

order as to costs.

DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT, PUDUCHERRY

(G.O. Ms. No. 02/REV./825, Puducherry, dated 10th February 2024)

ORDER

The Final seniority list in the grade of Deputy Tahsildar, was issued vide G.O. Rt. No. 7/Rev., dated 09-07-2011

of Department of Revenue and Disaster Management, Puducherry.

2. A tentative seniority list of officials in the post of Deputy Tahsildar, who have been appointed on regular

basis from the year 2001 onwards up to 2008 including the 2006 batch, Deputy Tahsildars were circulated and called

for objection vide Memorandum No. 31021/Rev.Estt/A1/2006, dated 22-02-2010. After publication of tentative seniority

list, Thiru K.P. Sreejith, Deputy Tahsildar, had submitted his objection vide representation, dated 08-03-2010 as

detailed below:

“20 candidates were selected on 08-01-2006, for the post of Deputy Tahsildar under direct recruitment and

subsequently, the result of Meritorious Sports Person (MSP) was published selecting him as Deputy Tahsildar under

MSP quota. He joined the post on 16-05-2007. He has further stated that the sportsman so appointed should be

adjusted in the recruitment/reservation roster against the respective category viz. SC/ST/OBC/General to which he/

she belongs to a sportsman/sportswoman who is SC will be counted against the SC reservation point, if, he belongs

to ST/OBC, he will be counted against ST/OBC point and if, he belongs to General Category, he will be shown

against the General Category vacancy point in the reservation roster. He scored 155 marks on the basis of the result

of the competitive examination for the direct recruitment post of Deputy Tahsildar held on 08-02-2006 under UR/MSP

category, but, in the tentative seniority list, his name was mentioned in the bottom of the list as an en-block without

order of merit and seniority was wrongly assigned at No. 173 instead of Seniority No. 156. Further, he submits

171

20 February 2024]

LA GAZETTE DE L’ETAT

that MSP reservation comes on horizontal basis similar to the reservation of Ex-servicemen. In the circulated

seniority list, the said rule is only applied for Ex-servicemen and denied to the MSP and hence, he requested to

rectify the error.”

3. The objection submitted by Thiru K.P. Sreejith, Deputy Tahsildar, was examined before finalizing the

seniority and stated as follow:

“The procedure explained by Thiru K.P. Sreejith, Deputy Tahsildar, is applicable only in the case of

maintaining reservation rosters, whereas, fixation of seniority is based on inter-se merit. Hence, the claim of the

said Deputy Tahsildar is not acceptable”.

Hence, the request of Thiru K.P. Sreejith, Deputy Tahsildar, has not been considered at that time and

the final seniority list was published on 09-07-2011 vide G.O. Ms. No. 7/Rev., in that Thiru K.P. Sreejith, Deputy

Tahsildar, was placed at Seniority No. 173.

4. Thiru K.P. Sreejith, Deputy Tahsildar, has submitted another representation, dated 25-11-2022, on receipt

of the order of regularization of his ad hoc services with effect from 01-08-2021 vide Memorandum No. 2711DRDM/

Estt./A2/2021/6532, dated 02-02-2022, wherein, he has raised objection regarding the selection of candidates for the

post of Deputy Tahsildar by Direct Recruitment vide Notification published on 09-01-2006 and consequential tentative

seniority vide Memorandum No.A.31021/ Rev.Estt/A1/2006, dated 22-02-2010 and final seniority list vide Memorandum

in G.O. Ms. No. 7/Rev., dated 09-07-2011.

5. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India observed in the case of Sudhir Kumar Vs. Union of India decided

on 26-10-2021, as follows:

“We are also of the view that in the matter of adjudging seniority of the candidates selected in one and

the same selection, placement in the order of merit can be adopted as a principle for determination of seniority

but, where the selections are held separately by different recruiting authorities, the principle of initial date of

appointment/continuous officiating may be the valid principle to be considered for adjudging inter-se seniority of

the officers in the absence of any rule or guidelines in determining seniority to the contrary.

6. In the case of Indra Sawhney and others Vs. Union of India, the Hon’ble Apex Court has laid down law

regarding ‘vertical’ as well as ‘horizontal’ reservation.

Horizontal reservation: The persons selected against this quota will be placed in the appropriate category;

if, he belongs to SC category, he will be placed in that quota by making necessary adjustments; similarly, if, he

belongs to open competition (OC) category, he will be placed in that category by making necessary adjustments.

Even, after providing for these horizontal reservations, the percentage of reservations in favour of backward class

of citizens remains - and should remain - the same.

7. The analogy laid down above, squarely applied to the instant case. Thiru K.P. Sreejith, Deputy Tahsildar,

was selected under MSP category in continuation of the select list published vide Notification No. 32016/DRDM/

Estt./A2/2005, dated 09-01-2006 and not a separate list, and hence, seniority of an officer is determined as per order

of merit given by the selection authority. Reservation roster/points are meant only for identifying the vacancy that

goes to a particular category.

8. Accordingly, adverting to the facts of the instant case, the objections received from Thiru K.P. Sreejith,

Deputy Tahsildar, was broadly examined by preparing a combined list of selected candidates as per the order of

merit, and revised the final seniority list of Deputy Tahsildars. And Thiru K.P. Sreejith, Deputy Tahsildar, is assigned

the Seniority No. l62(A) and placed below Thiru R. Coumaran (Seniority No. 162) and above Tmt. S. Sovoundary

(Seniority No. 163).

9. All other things in the Government Order remain unchanged.

E. VALLAVAN, I.A.S.,

Secretary to Government (Revenue).
