The Commission finds that the Medical Officer of the Primary Health Centre, Chimbel had passed the Order dated 18-10-2021 u/s 94 (A) 1 (a) of the Goa Public Health, 1985, directing the Respondent to release the water connection to the house occupied by the Complainant in Survey No. 40/1, Chimbel, as essential on health ground.
The reply of the Respondent indicates that the file was processed for release of the water connection but they received a letter from one Mr. Mangaldas C. Gauns that the eviction proceedings are presently going on in the Civil Court at Panaji and release of the water connection is kept in abeyance.
In the Judgment, in the case of Commander Sureshwar D. Sinha and others vs Union of India and others, 2001(3) Scale 533, the Apex Court has observed that there can be no denying the fact that right to life guaranteed under Article 21 of the Constitution would surely include a right to clean water.
The pendency of the civil dispute is a not a ground to deprive the complainant of water as water is a necessity.
The Commission finds that the Respondent has violated the human rights of the Complainant by neglecting to comply with the Order.
The Commission finds that in the interest of public health and to protect their human rights, it is necessary to issue the recommendation under Section 18(a) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.
The Commission recommends that the Respondent forthwith comply with the said Order dated 18-10-2021, of the Primary Health Centre, Chimbel and expedite the release of the water connection to the house occupied by the Complainant, within 30 days from today.
Copy of the Inquiry Report be sent to the Respondent, calling for their comments, including the action taken or proposed to be taken within a period of 30 days or on or before 16-09-2022, in terms of Section 18(e) of the Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.

JUDGEMENT
1. This judgment shall determine the claim application of the Applicant dated 17-01-2020, filed
U/S 33-C (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947.
2. By the present claim application, the Applicant claimed an amount of Rs. 30,000/- towards overtime discharged by him along with interest @12% p.a. from the date of the amount due till its realization. He stated that he is working as a 'driver' with the Opponent and presently posted at Panaji depot. He stated that the Employer is governed under the provisions of Motor Transport Workers Act. He stated that when he report for the duty, he has to sign the attendance card. He stated that the said card is at the disposal of the Opponent. He stated that the said card indicates the time spent at work during the running time of the transport vehicle, time spent in subsidiary work and period mere attendance at terminal less than 15 minutes. He stated that the subsidiary work is in connection with the transport
vehicle, its passengers or with its load which is done
outside running time of the vehicle such as taking
over and garaging of the transport vehicle travelling from the place wherein person signs into the place where he takes the vehicle. He stated that he was a scheduled driver on route of Old Goa to Narva being schedule No. 24-A. He stated that he was however, removed from the scheduled duty and was called for spare duty. He stated that the scheduled driver has to report the duty half hour before the start of the schedule and take the charge of the vehicle and operate the schedule wherein the timings are fixed. He stated that the spare driver has to report at 9.30 a.m. and sign the attendance card and has to remain in the terminus till 5.30 p.m. which is 8 hours of duty. He stated that if the spare driver is allotted the duty then the working hours exceeds the hours of work and is therefore entitled for overtime wages in consonance with the Act. He stated that the spare driver remains in terminus and has to attend the exigencies of work. He stated that the details of overtime work discharged by him for the period from July, 2019 till October, 2019 are 24 hours, 22 hours, 6 hours and 30 hours for the month of July, August, September and October 2019 respectively. He stated that his Basic Pay is Rs. 39,200/- and Dearness Allowance is Rs. 6664/-, thus total wage amounting to Rs. 45,864/- per month. The Applicant therefore prayed that his claim application be allowed.
3. The Opponent resisted the claim of the Workman by filing its Reply dated 19-02-2021 at Exb. 5. The Opponent, as and by way of its reply, submitted that the application is liable to be dismissed as there is no existing right to claim the amount as claimed in the application, that the claim is neither based on admitted nor based on settled rights but is based on disputed rights and the same cannot be decided in an application u/s 33-C (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947, that the application is premature as the Applicant has directly approached before this Court without exhausting the other remedies available to him as per its Certified Standing Orders and as per the terms of Memorandum of Settlement dated 30-04-2010 agreed upon between its management and its workmen and the same is being applicable to the Applicant and that this Hon'ble Court has no jurisdiction under the Motor Transport Workers Act, 1961 to adjudicate the claim of the Applicant.
4. The opponent stated that it is a Government Company registered under Section 617 of the Companies Act, 1956. The Opponent stated that it is a State Transport Undertaking under the purview of Motor Vehicles Act, 1988. The Opponent stated that it is engaged in the public passenger services, in the State of Goa as well as in the neighboring states like Maharashtra and Karnataka and for operation of the passenger services, it employs employees under the various categories such as drivers, conductors, mechanical staff etc. The Opponent stated that they have been served with the copy of the application of the Applicant with distorted facts and that the Applicant has not only suppressed material facts from this Labour Court II but has made misleading statements. The Opponent denied each and every statements of the Applicant made in his pleadings. The Opponent stated that as per the provisions Section 13 as well as Section 14 of the Motor Transport Act, the hours of work of the workers of the Opponent are not spread over more than 12 hours in any day. The Opponent submitted that the Applicant is not entitled for any relief as prayed in his claim application and prayed for dismissal of the claim application.
5. Thereafter, the Applicant filed his Re-joinder on 18-03-2021 at Exb. 6. By way of said Re-joinder, the Applicant confirms and reiterates all his submissions, averments and statements made in his Claim Statement to be correct and true and denies all the statements, averments and submissions made by the Opponent in its Written Statement which are OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 34 24TH NOVEMBER, 2022 contrary to his statement and averments made in his Claim Statement.
6. Based on the pleadings filed by both the parties this Court framed following issues on 08-04-2021 at Exb. 7.
1. Whether the Applicant proves that he is entitled to receive from the Opponent a sum of Rs. 36,000/- (Rupees Thirty six thousand only) towards overtime wages along with interest @ 12% p.a. from the date of amount due till the amount is recovered?
2. Whether the Opponent proves that the present Claim Application of the Applicant is not maintainable in view of the reasons mentioned in para 2 (a) to 2 (c) of the written statement?
3. What order?
7. My answers to the aforesaid issues are as under:
(a) Issue No. 1: In the affirmative (b) Issue No. 2: In the negative. (c) Issue No. 3: As per final order.
I have heard the arguments of Ld. Adv. Shri A. Kundaikar, appearing for the Applicant as well as Ld. Adv. Shri P. Agarwal, appearing for the Opponent. I have carefully perused the entire records of the case. I have also carefully considered the legal submissions made across the bar.
REASONS:
Issue No. 1:
8. By the present claim application, the Applicant claimed an amount of Rs. 36,000/- (Rupees Thirty six thousand only) towards the overtime wages. The burden to prove the present issue is therefore on the Applicant.
To prove his case, the Applicant examined himself and produced on record certain documentary evidence in support of his oral evidence. On the contrary, the Opponent examined its Asstt. Depot Manager, Shri Bhikaji Fadte.
9. By the present claim application, the Applicant claimed for overtime wages. Section 26 of the Motor Transport Act provides for extra wages for overtime, which reads as under:
Section 26: Extra wages for overtime.
(1) Where an adult motor transport worker works for more than eight hours in any day in any case referred to in the first proviso to section 13 or where he is required to work on any day of rest under sub-section (2) of Section 19, he shall be entitled to wages at the rate of twice his ordinary rate of wages in respect of the overtime work or the work done on the day of rest, as the case may be.
(2) Where an adult motor transport worker works for more than eight hours in any day in any case referred to in the second proviso to section 13, he shall be entitled to wages in respect of the overtime work at such rates as may be prescribed.
(3) Where an adolescent motor transport worker is required to work on any day of rest under sub-section (2) of Section 19, he shall be entitled to wages at the rate twice his ordinary rate of wages in respect of the work done on the day of rest.
(4) For the purpose of this section, "ordinary rate of wages" in relation to a motor transport worker means his basic wages plus dearness allowance.
10. Similarly, Section 13 of the Motor Transport Act, provides for working hours of the Motor Transport workers and it reads as under:
"Section 13. Hours of work for adult motor transport workers:
No adult motor transport worker shall be required or allowed to work for more than eight hours in any day and forty-eight hours in any week.
Provided that where any such motor transport worker is engaged in the running of any motor transport service on such long distance routes, or on such festive and other occasions as may be notified in the prescribed manner by the prescribed authority, the employer may, with the approval of such authority, require or allow such motor transport worker to work for more than eight hours in any day or forty-eight hours in any week but in no case for more than ten hours in a day and fifty-four in hours in a week, as the case may be:
Provided further that in the case of a breakdown or dislocation of a motor transport service or interruption of traffic or act of God, the employer may, subject to such conditions and limitations as may be prescribed, require or allow any such motor transport worker to work for more than eight hours in any day or more than forty-eight hours in any week.
11. Section 19 of the motor transport act provides for weekly off and read as under.
Section 19 Weekly Off
(1) The State Government may be, by notification in the Official Gazette, make rules providing for a day of rest in every period of seven days, which shall be allowed to all motor transport workers.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 34 24TH NOVEMBER, 2022(2) Notwithstanding any contained in sub- -section (1), an employer may, in order to prevent any dislocation of a motor transport service, require a motor transport worker to work on any day of rest which is not a holiday so, however that the motor transport worker does not work for more than ten days consecutively without a holiday for a whole day intervening.
(3) Nothing contained in sub-section (1) shall apply to any motor transport worker whose total period of employment including any day spent on leave is less than six days.
Thus, any of the adult motor transport worker is entitled for overtime wages (i.e. twice the ordinary wages) if he has worked in the running of any motor transport service on such long distance routes, or on such festive and other occasions as may be notified in the prescribed manner by the prescribed authority, the Employer may, with the approval of such authority, require or allow such motor transport worker to work for more than eight hours in any day or forty-eight hours in any week but in no case for more than ten hours in a day and fifty-four in hours in a week, as the case may be or in the case of a breakdown or dislocation of a motor transport service or interruption of traffic or act of God, the employer may, subject to such conditions and limitations as may be prescribed, require or allow any such motor transport worker to work for more than eight hours in any day or more than forty-eight hours in any week, or to work on any day of rest as stated u/s 19 (2) of the Act.
Section 15 of the said Act, provides for daily
interval for rest.
12. The term 'hours of work' has been defined u/s. 2 (f) of the Motor Transport Workers Act and it means that the time during which a motor transport worker is at the disposal of the Employer or any other person entitled to claim his service and includes (1) the time spent in work done during the running time of the transport vehicle to the time spent in subsidiary work and periods of mere attendance at terminals of less than 15 minutes.
13. In the case in hand, the Applicant is working with the Opponent as a 'driver'. The Applicant was allotted scheduled duty during the said period on route Old Goa to Narva on Schedule 24-A. The Applicant claimed that he had performed overtime of 82 hours as stated in para 6 of his claim application as well as para 7 of his affidavit in evidence. The Opponent vaguely denied the aforesaid statement made by the Applicant in his pleadings as well as in his oral evidence. It was therefore incumbent upon the Applicant to prove his case by cogent and reliable evidence.
14. To prove his case, the Applicant has produced on record pay slip for the month of December, 2019 (Exb. 10) as well as driver's attendance card for the month of July, 2019 till October 2019 (Exb. 9-colly). The Opponent did not dispute the aforesaid documentary evidence produced by the Applicant.
15. The evidence on record indicates that the Applicant has worked for the Opponent on the scheduled duty as stated in para 7 of his affidavit in evidence. The Applicant claimed that he has performed the overtime of 24 hours in July 2019, 22 hours in August 2019, 6 hours in September 2019 and 30 hours in October 2019. The said oral evidence of the Applicant corroborates the document at Exb. 9-colly i.e. attendance card for the month of July 2019 to October 2019 except the timing of 26-07-2019, 29-07-2019 and 31-07-2019 as well as 28-08-2019 being weekly off and 30-08-2019. The applicant claimed overtime of 2 hours on 26-07-2019 and 2. 30 hours each on 29-07-2019, and 31-07-2019. The applicant also claimed overtime of 3 hours on 28-08-2019 and 1 and ½ hour on 30-08-2019. The said timing of hours shown in para 6 of the claim statement as well as para 7 of affidavit-in-evidence of the applicant are contrary to the attendance card on record as the attendance record does not show the said timings.
16. The Opponent failed to produce on record any evidence to show that the time spent by the Applicant for rest interval, spread over and working hours etc. either by way of producing any document or by way of cross examination. Consequently the opponent failed to produce on record the actual working hour of the Applicant except 26-07-2019, 29-07-2019, 31-07-2019 then 28-08-2019 and 30-08-2019. Thus, the Applicant proved that he has performed the total overtime of 70. 5 hours being 17 hours for July 2019, 17 and ½ hours for August 2019 and 6 hours for September 2019 and 30 hours for October 2019. Thus, the Applicant has performed the total overtime work for 70 and ½ hours for the period for July 2019 till October 2019 hours.
17. The evidence on record indicates that the Basic Pay of the Applicant was Rs. 39,200/- and Dearness Allowance of Rs. 6664/-, of which total comes to Rs. 45,864/- per month. Thus, the Applicant's wage comes to Rs. 1528.8 per day and Rs. 191/- per hour. Thus the overtime allowance per hour of the Applicant comes to Rs. 382/- per hour. As the Applicant has performed overtime for 70.5 hours for the period of July 2019 to October, 2019 which comes to Rs. 26,391/-. Hence, it is held that the Applicant proved that he is entitled to receive from the Opponent a sum of Rs. 26,391/-. (Rupees twenty six OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 34 24TH NOVEMBER, 2022 thousand three hundred ninety one only) towards overtime wages. The issue No. 1 is therefore answered in the affirmative.
Issue No. 2:
Department of Law & Judiciary
Law (Establishment) Division –––
Order
18. The Opponent, as and by way of its preliminary objection submitted that the application is liable to be dismissed as there is no existing right to claim the amount as claimed in the application, that the claim is neither based on admitted nor based on settled rights but is based on disputed rights and the same cannot be decided in an application u/s 33-C (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947, that the application is premature as the Applicant has directly approached before this Court without exhausting the other remedies available to him as per its Certified Standing Orders and as per the terms of Memorandum of Settlement dated 30-04-2010 agreed upon between its management and its workmen and the same is being applicable to the Applicant and that this Hon'ble Court has no jurisdiction under the Motor Transport Workers Act, 1961 to adjudicate the claim of the Applicant.
19. The burden to prove issue No. 2 is therefore on the Opponent. The Opponent has however, failed to produce on record any material evidence to that effect. The claim for overtime is based on the existing right and can be determined in an application under Section 33-C (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947. The present claim application filed by the Applicant u/s 33-C (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947 and not under the Motor Transport Act. Hence, this Cour t has every jurisdiction to adjudicate the claim of the Applicant under the I.D. Act, 1947. Hence, it is held that Issue No. 2 is answered in the Negative.
In view of above I pass the following order:
ORDER
The claim application of the Applicant dated 17-01-2020 is hereby allowed. Consequently, M/s. Kadamba Transport Corporation Ltd., Porvorim, Goa is hereby directed to pay an amount of Rs. 26,391/- (Rupees Twenty six thousand three hundred ninety one only) to the Applicant, Shri Martin Alfonso within a period of two months from the date of passing the present order failing which it shall bear a simple interest @ 10% per annum.
