Goa Human Rights Commission

Office of the Goa Human Rights Commission

Proceeding No. 20/2022

Daily Proceeding Sheet

16-08-2022

Adv. Shri V. Pangam is present along

Sr. No. 5

with Shri A. Kerkar, husband of the

Complainant.

Shri Sapresh Kavlekar, Jr. Engineer is

present on behalf of the Respondent.

Arguments heard.

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.

PANAJI, DATED: 16-09-2022.

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

2583

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.

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.

2584

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

thousand three hundred ninety one only) towards

overtime wages. The issue No. 1 is therefore answered

in the affirmative.

Issue No. 2:

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 Court 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.

No order as to costs.
