Goa Human Rights Commission
Office of the Goa Human Rights Commission
Panaji-Goa
Proceeding No. 90/2017
Inquiry Report
The Complainant/Shri A. B. Pankar has filed the
present complaint alleging that there was a delay
of seven years for settlement of his legitimate
retirement dues and over eight years of
departmental inquiry causing financial loss to him.
He has also alleged that the interest on delayed
payment has not been paid till date.
2. The Complainant retired from services of EDC
Ltd. on 31-12-2008 on superannuation after 33 years.
The Complainant has stated that in June, 2015,
after, a delay of about seven years, he received
partial
retirement
dues
comprising
of
superannuation benefit disbursed through the Life
Insurance Corporation of India (LIC). He received
interest from LIC for delayed period i.e. from
January, 2009 till June, 2015. He has further stated
that no interest has been paid by EDC Ltd., on the
retirement
dues
which
were
released
simultaneously after a delay of about seven years.
It is also the case of the Complainant that he has
not been given copy of the report of the
departmental inquiry which was delayed for over
eight years. The Complainant has prayed that the
EDC Ltd. may be directed to pay him the interest
amounting to Rs. 8,07,322/- (Rupees eight lakhs
seven thousand three hundred twenty two only) as
on 20th June, 2015 and additional interest at 12%
compounded quarterly till the date of final
settlement.
3. Taking cognizance of the complaint, this
Commission called for report from the Managing
Director, EDC Ltd., EDC House, Panaji-Goa/
/Respondent. In pursuance to the notice, the
Respondent has filed reply dated 23-06-2017. The
Complainant has filed Rejoinder dated 02-08-2017.
The Respondent has filed Sur-Rejoinder dated
12-04-2018. The Complainant has filed Sur-Rejoinder
dated 04-07-2018.
4. The case of the Respondent in brief is as
follows:-
The Respondent vide letter No. EDC/ADM/3820
dated 02-01-2009, informed the Complainant that
the decision for release of retirement benefits to
him under the EDC Employees Superannuation
Scheme and Leave Encashment Scheme shall be
the subject to the outcome of the disciplinary
proceedings in respect of non-payment of Wealth
Tax initiated against the Complainant. The reason
for not making the payment of retirement dues was
due to the disciplinary proceedings that were
pending against the Complainant as on date of
retirement i.e. 31-12-2008.
The Respondent vide letter No. EDC/ADM/212
dated 28-01-2009, informed the Complainant that
the respondent has decided to release the balance
retirement benefits of superannuation and leave
encashment on his handing over the charge and
up to date books of accounts of EDC Employees
Provident Fund Trust to the new Trustees appointed
vide Order dated 21-02-2008. Thereafter, on
19-06-2015, a cheque dated 18-06-2015 for
Rs. 7,03,280/- was forwarded to the Complainant
towards payment of leave encashment.
The Respondent has further stated that in its
352nd Board Meeting held on 02-09-2016, after
discussions in brief as regards payment of interest
on leave encashment amount at a later stage than
the retirement date which was due to a Board
decision taken and the prevailing circumstances
then, the Board decided not to pay interest as
requested by the Complainant.
5. I have heard the Complainant and Adv. Nikhil
Vaze for the Respondent. Both the Parties have filed
written arguments which are on record. I have also
gone through the entire records of this case.
6. On the basis of the material brought on record,
the points for determination are formulated as
follows:-
i. Whether the complaint is barred by Law of
Limitation in terms of Section 36 (2) of the
Protection of Human Rights Act, 1993.
ii. Whether the Complainant is entitled for
interest on retirement dues for delay in
pensionary benefits.
I shall first deal with the question of limitation.
The Respondent in its written arguments has
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 4
28TH APRIL, 2022
1173
contended for the first time that the complaint is
barred by Law of Limitation. It is contended by the
Respondent that Section 36(2) of the Protection of
Human Rights Act, 1993, provides that the Central
or the State Commission shall not inquire into any
matter after the expiry of one year from the date on
which the act constituting violation of human
rights is alleged to have been committed. It is
submitted that the complaint has been filed on
30-03-2017 and the Complainant has requested for
payment of interest as on 20-06-2015. Thus,
according to the Respondent, the claim of the
Complainant for payment of interest has been filed
21 months after the receipt of payment of retirement
dues by the Complainant. On the contrary, the
Complainant in his written arguments has
submitted that considering the habitual approach
of purposeful delays by the Respondent, the matter
was regularly followed up by the Complainant at
various levels. It is submitted that the cause of
action to claim the compensatory dues was
continued time to time for which correspondence
was done till filing of the present complaint. It is
next contended that the matter of payment of
interest was taken up in the 352nd Board Meeting
of EDC Ltd., held on 02-09-2016 and as such there
was acknowledgment of compensatory dues
payable to the Complainant and hence further cause
of action also arose from 02-09-2016. It is submitted
that the present proceeding is filed on 03-03-2017
(should be 30-03-2017) and as such the complaint
is within the period of limitation.
It is apparent that the matter of payment of
interest was under consideration by the
Respondent. In my opinion therefore the cause for
action for filing the present complaint has to be
construed w.e.f. 02-09-2016. Thus, the complaint is
within the period of limitation. The contention of
the Respondent that the complaint is barred by the
Law of Limitation is therefore rejected.
The next question for my determination is
whether the Complainant is entitled for interest on
delayed payment of pensionary benefits.
The records indicate that the Complainant retired
on superannuation on 31-12-2008. The Complainant
received a cheque dated 18-06-2015 for Rs. 7,03,280/-
(Rupees seven lakhs three thousand two hundred
eighty only) towards payment of leave encashment.
Thus, it is seen that the Complainant received
pensionary benefits towards payment of leave
encashment after a delay of about six years and six
months. In my view, the Complainant is entitled to
receive interest on leave encashment from the date
of his retirement.
7. The Respondent has resisted the claim of the
Complainant on three grounds. First ground is that
the disciplinary proceedings in respect of non-
payment of Wealth Tax was initiated against the
Complainant and the said disciplinary proceedings
were pending against the Complainant as on the
date of retirement i.e. 31-12-2008. In my considered
opinion, pendency of disciplinary proceedings
cannot be an excuse to delay the payment of
retirement dues. There was no legal prohibition to
the Respondent to pay the retirement dues, even
though the disciplinary proceedings were pending
against the Complainant. This justification given
by the Respondent for non-payment of retirement
dues therefore cannot be accepted.
The next ground urged by the Respondent for not
releasing the balance retirement benefits was that
the up to date books of accounts of EDC Provident
Fund Trust were not handed over by the Complainant
to the new Trustees. The Respondent in its written
arguments has submitted that the Complainant has
taken time of six years to handover all the files, cheque
books and other relevant documents pertaining to
EDC Provident Fund Trust. It is further submitted that
there was no reason for the Complainant to hold the
documents pertaining to the EDC Provident Fund
Trust for six years after his retirement. It is also
submitted that the Complainant himself was
responsible for delay in payment. This ground also
does not appeal to my mind. There was nothing to
prevent the Respondent to release the balance
retirement benefits of superannuation and leave
encashment to the Complainant as on the date of
retirement.
The third ground for non-payment of retirement
benefits is that the Board in its 352nd Meeting
held on 02-09-2016 decided not to pay interest as
requested by the Complainant. The extract of the
minutes of the 352nd Board Meeting is on record
as Exhibit ‘C’. In the said meeting it is stated that
the Board decided not to pay interest as decided
in the meeting. The decision taken by the Board
meeting appears to my mind arbitrary in nature.
The decision of the Board, therefore, cannot come
to the rescue of the Respondent.
8. The Respondent in its written arguments has
also contended that the interest cannot be claimed
through this Commission. It is submitted that this
Commission cannot adjudicate as to whether the
Complainant is entitled for interest. It is also
submitted that this Commission does not have
jurisdiction to grant interest as requested by the
Complainant. I am not able to reconcile myself with
this contention of the Respondent. In my opinion,
1174
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 4
28TH APRIL, 2022
the claim of the Complainant for interest on delay
of payment is a part of pensionary benefits. The
Complainant therefore cannot be denied interest
on delayed payment. The non-payment of interest
on delayed payment of retirement dues In my view
is a violation of basic human rights of the
Complainant.
9. In the facts and circumstances of this case,
the
Commission
makes
the
following
recommendations:-
I. The Respondent shall pay interest on
delayed payment to the Complainant at lending
rate by Nationalised Banks.
II. The Respondent shall pay compensation of
Rs. 10,000/- (Rupees Ten thousand only) to the
Complainant on account of mental agony suffered
by the Complainant on account of delay in
payment of interest.

J U D G M E N T
1. This Judgment and Order shall determine the
claim application of the Applicant dated 29-01-2021,
filed U/S 33-C (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947.
2. By the present claim application, the Applicant
claimed from the Opponent an amount of
Rs. 2,69,551/- (Rupees Two lakhs sixty nine thousand
five hundred and fifty one only) being Rs. 1,11,668/-
towards pending salary, Rs. 27,762/- towards bonus,
Rs. 13,125/- towards LTA, medical allowances
2018-19 and 2019-20, Rs. 70,000/- towards salary
increase arrears and Rs. 46,996/- towards unutilized
privileged leave (90 days).
3. The Applicant stated that the Opponent No.1
started delaying the payment of her monthly salary.
He stated that from October, 2019 to February, 2020,
the Opponent No. 1 failed to pay her monthly earned
salaries inspite of full attendance and working. She
stated that she, being fed-up with the non-payment
of her monthly earned salaries, submitted her
resignation to the Opponent No. 1 on 19-02-2020. She
stated that her resignation had been accepted by
the Opponent No.1 and she had been relieved from
the services. She stated that the Opponent No.1 failed
to pay her monthly salaries from October, 2019 to
February, 2020 amounting to Rs. 1,11,668/- (Rupees
One lakh eleven thousand six hundred and sixty
eight only). She submitted that the Opponent No.1
also failed to pay her bonus for the year 2018-19 and
for the year 2019-2020 amounting to Rs. 27,762/- as
well as her medical allowance for the year 2018-2019
and for the year 2019-20 amounting to Rs. 13,125/-.
She submitted that the Opponent No. 1 also failed to
1180
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 4
28TH APRIL, 2022
pay her salary increased arrears amounting to
Rs. 70,000/-. Thus, the Opponent No. 1 has failed to
pay to her a total amount of Rs. 2,69,551/- (Rupees
Two lakhs sixty nine thousand five hundred and fifty
one only). She further submitted that the Opponent
No. 1 also failed to clear her legal dues arising out of
her resignation which included her unpaid gratuity.
She submitted that as the Opponent No.1 failed to
pay her above legal dues, she made several written
communication to them. She submitted that she is
entitled to receive the aforesaid amount of
Rs. 2,69,551/- (Rupees Two lakhs sixty nine thousand
five hundred and fifty one only) alongwith interest
@18% per annum from the Opponent till the
realization of the said amount. She submitted that
the Opponent No. 1 is an establishment and the
Opponent No. 2 and 3 are the partners of the
Opponent No.1. The Applicant therefore prayed that
the Opponents be directed to pay to her the aforesaid
amount of Rs. 2,69,551/- (Rupees Two lakhs sixty nine
thousand five hundred and fifty one only) along with
interest @18% p.a. till its realization.
4. All the Opponents have been duly served. The
Opponents have however, failed to appear before this
Hon’ble Court on the scheduled dates of hearings for
the reasons best known to them. This Hon’ble Court
marked an ex-parte against the Opponents after
giving ample opportunities to appear and defend
their case.
5. This Hon’ble Court framed the following issues
on 14-10-2021 at Exb. 3.
1. Whether the Applicant proves that she is
entitled to receive from the Opponents an amount
of Rs. 2,69,551/- (Rupees Two lakhs sixty nine
thousand five hundred and fifty one only) being
Rs. 1,11,668/- towards pending salary, Rs. 27,762/-
towards bonus, Rs. 13,125/- towards LTA, medical
allowances, Rs.70,000/- towards salary increase
arrears, Rs. 46,996/- towards unutilized privileged
leave respectively?
2. What order?
6. My answers to the aforesaid issues are as under:
(a) Issue No. 1 : In the Affirmative.
(b) Issue No. 2 : As per final Order.
I have heard the oral arguments of Ld. Adv. Shri
Suhas Naik appearing for the Applicant. On the
contrary, none remained present for the Opponents.
I have carefully perused the entire records of the
present case. I have also carefully considered the
submissions advanced by the Ld. Adv. Shri Suhas
Naik, appearing for the Applicant.
REASONS:
Issue No.1
7. By the present claim application, the Applicant
claimed a total amount of Rs. 2,69,551/- (Rupees Two
lakhs sixty nine thousand five hundred and fifty one
only) being Rs. 1,11,668/- towards pending salary,
Rs. 27,762/- towards bonus, Rs. 13,125/- towards LTA,
medical allowances for the year 2018-19 and
2019-20, Rs. 70,000/- towards salary increase arrears,
Rs. 46,996/- and towards unutilized privileged leave
(90 days).
To support her claim, the Applicant has produced
on record documentary evidence in support of her
oral evidence. The said evidence oral as well as
documentary adduced by the Applicant on record
remained unchallenged for want of denial.
(a) Unpaid Salary:
8. The Applicant claimed from the Opponent an
amount of Rs. 1,11,668/- towards her pending salaries
for the period from October, 2019 to February, 2020.
The evidence on record indicates that the
Applicant joined in the services of the Opponent
No.1 on 01-03-1990 as ‘Steno Typist’ and subsequently
promoted as ‘Stenographer’ w.e.f. 01-04-2003, as
‘Asstt. Secretary’ w.e.f. 01-10-2005, as ‘Secretary’ w.e.f.
01-04-2012 and lastly promoted as ‘Executive- Food
and Beverage’ w.e.f. 01-04-2018. The evidence on
record indicates that the monthly net salary of the
Applicant was Rs. 23,868/- after deducting the P.F.
amounting to Rs. 1,766/- in the month of May, 2019.
9. The evidence on record indicates that the
Applicant resigned, vide her letter dated 20-01-2020
(Exb. 6) and was relieved on 20-03-2020 (Exb. 7) at
the close working hours of 19-02-2020. The evidence
on record indicates that the Applicant has not been
paid her earned salaries for the months from October,
2019 till 19-02-2020. The evidence on record indicates
that the monthly total net salary of the Applicant
was Rs. 23,868/-. Thus, the Applicant is entitled to
receive from the Opponent a sum of Rs. 1,10,588/-
(Rupees One lakh ten thousand five hundred and
eighty eight only) towards her unpaid salaries for
the period from October, 2019 till 19-02-2020.
(b) Bonus:
10. The Applicant claimed Bonus of an amount of
Rs. 27,762/- for the year 2018-2019 and for the year
2019-2020.
The bonus is paid to the employee under the
Payment of Bonus Act, 1965. Section 8 of the Act
provides for the eligibility of the Bonus. Section 9 of
the Act provides for disqualification for the Bonus.
Section 10 of the Act, provides for minimum bonus.
The provisions of Section 10 provides for the minimum
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 4
28TH APRIL, 2022
1181
bonus of 8.33% of the salary or wage earned by the
employee during the accounting year or Rs.100/-,
whichever is higher, whether or not the Employer
has any allocable surplus in the accounting year.
Similarly, Section 11 of the Act, provides for payment
of maximum bonus.
11. The evidence on record indicates that the
Applicant has failed to produce on record relevant
materials to grant maximum bonus. In the
circumstances, the Applicant is entitled for minimum
bonus @8.33% of the salary or wage earned by the
employee during the accounting year or Rs.100/-
whichever is higher, whether or not the Employer
has any allocable surplus in the accounting year.
12. The Applicant claimed from the Opponent an
amount of Rs. 27,762/- towards Bonus for the year
2018-2019 and for the year 2019-2020. Taking into
consideration the monthly salary of the Applicant
of Rs. 23,868/-, the minimum bonus for the year
2018-19 and for the year 2019-20 @8.33% amounts to
Rs. 3,976/- (Rupees Three thousand nine hundred
and seventy six only).
Thus, the Applicant proved that she is entitled to
receive from the Opponent No.1 a total amount of
Rs. 3,976/- (Rupees Three thousand nine hundred
and seventy six only) towards bonus for the year
2018-19 and for the year 2019-20.
(c) Medical Allowance and LTA.
13. The Applicant claimed LTA and medical
allowance for the year 2018-19 and for the year
2019-20 for an amount of Rs. 13,125/- (Rupees Thirteen
thousand one hundred and twenty five only).
The Applicant has produced on record a letter
dated 30-09-2005 issued to her by the Opponent No.
1 (Exb. 10). As per the said letter at Exb. 10 issued by
the Opponent No.1, she is eligible for Medical
Reimbursement of Rs.1,200/- per annum against
production of bills as well as LTA of Rs. 1,200/- per
annum. However, the Applicant has failed to produce
on record any medical bills towards medical
reimbursement. The Applicant is however, entitled
for LTA of Rs. 1,200/- per annum for the year 2018-19
and for the year 2019-20 amounting to Rs. 2400/-.
Hence, it is held that the Applicant failed to prove
that she is entitled for medical allowance and as such
her claim towards Medical Allowance stands
rejected. The Applicant has however proved that she
is entitled for LTA for an amount of Rs. 2,400/- (Rupees
Two thousand four hundred only).
(d) Salary Increase Arrears:
14. The Applicant claimed an amount of Rs. 70,000/-
towards the arrears in her increase in salary from
01-04-2017 till 30-11-2018.
The evidence on record indicates that the gross
salary of the Applicant was Rs. 23,134/- w.e.f.
01-04-2017 which was subsequently increased to
Rs. 25,634/- w.e.f. 01-04-2018 as per the salary revision
for the year 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 dated
26-12-2018 (Exb.13). Thus, there was increase in
salary of Rs. 2,500/- per month from 01-04-2017
till 30-11-2018 (for 20 months) which comes to
Rs. 50,000/-. Thus, the Applicant is entitled to receive
from the Opponent No. 1 a sum of Rs. 50,000/- (Rupees
Fifty thousand only) towards arrears of increase in
salary.
(e) Unutilized Privileged Leave:
15. The Applicant claimed an amount of Rs. 46,996/
- towards 90 days of her unutilized privileged leave.
The net salary of the Applicant was Rs. 23,868/- per
month. Taking into consideration the monthly salary
of the Applicant, the Applicant is entitled for an
amount of Rs.71,604/- towards her unutilized
privileged leave. Thus, the Applicant is entitled to
receive from the Opponent a sum of Rs. 71,604/-
(Rupees Seventy one thousand six hundred and four
only) towards her unutilized privileged leave.
16. In the case of New Standard Engineering
Company Limited v/s. Ashok H. Hire and Anr.,
reported in 2004 II CLR 574, the Hon’ble High Court
of Bombay, after relying upon a judgment of Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India, in the case of Suresh
Sakharam Chowgule and Anr. v/s. M/s. Parel Cotton
Press Factory (1994 SUPP. (3) SCC 704), held that
“though the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act, do
not expressly empowered the Industrial Court to grant
interest, the court is entitled to grant interest depending
upon facts of each case”.
17. In the case of Haryana State Federation of
Consumer Co-operative Wholesale Stores Ltd. v/s.
Siri Kishan and Anr., reported in 1996 II CLR 688, the
Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana has held
that “where the Employer has retained what was
required to be disbursed to the Workman, by denying
their rightful dues for almost a period of 12 years, during
which the value of their money has considerably
diminished due to inflation i.e. prevalent in the country,
the Labour Court is perfectly entitled to say that the
workman should be compensated by way of payment
of interest.”
18. Thus, it is settled principle of law that the
Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal is empowered to
grant interest depending upon the facts and
circumstances of each case. In the instant case as
stated above, it has been proved that the Applicant is
entitled to receive from the Opponent No. 1 a total
amount of Rs. 2,38,568/- (Rupees Two lakhs thirty eight
thousand five hundred and sixty eight only) towards
1182
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 4
28TH APRIL, 2022
unpaid salaries, arrears of salary increment, unutilized
privileged leave, LTA and bonus. The Applicant is
therefore entitled to receive from the Opponent No. 1
being Employer and Opponent No. 2 and Opponent
No. 3 being partners of the Opponent No.1 the said
amount of Rs. 2,38,568/- (Rupees Two lakhs thirty eight
thousand five hundred and sixty eight only) alongwith
simple interest @ 9% p.a. from the date of passing the
present order till its actual realization.
In view of above and with regards to the facts and
circumstances of the case, I pass the following order:
O R D E R
1. The present claim application of the Applicant
filed u/s 33-C (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947 is hereby
allowed. The Opponents are hereby directed to pay
to the Applicant, Ms. Milagrine Fernandes, a sum of
Rs. 2,38,568/- (Rupees Two lakhs thirty eight
thousand five hundred and sixty eight only) along
with simple interest @9% p.a. from the date of passing
of the present order till the actual realization of the
said amount.
2. No order as to cost.

several written communication to them. He
submitted that he is entitled to receive the aforesaid
amount of Rs. 5,64,715/- (Rupees Five lakhs sixty four
thousand seven hundred and fifteen only) alongwith
interest @18% per annum from the Opponent till the
realization of the said amount. He submitted that the
Opponent No. 1 is an establishment and the
Opponent No. 2 and 3 are the partners of the
Opponent No. 1. The Applicant therefore prayed that
the Opponents be directed to pay to him the
aforesaid amount of Rs. 5,64,715/- (Rupees Five lakhs
sixty four thousand seven hundred and fifteen only)
along with interest @18% p.a. till its realization.
4. All the Opponents have been duly served. The
Opponents have however, failed to appear before this
Hon’ble Court on the scheduled dates of hearings for
the reasons best known to them. This Hon’ble Court
marked an ex-parte against the Opponents after
giving ample opportunities to appear and pursue
their case.
5. This Hon’ble Court framed the following issues
on 14-10-2021 at Exb. 4.
1. Whether the Applicant proves that he is
entitled to receive from the Opponents an amount
of Rs. 5,64,715/- (Rupees Five lakhs sixty four
thousand seven hundred and fifteen only) being
Rs. 1,35,072/- towards pending salary, Rs. 32,181/-
towards bonus, Rs. 22,000/- towards LTA, medical
allowances 2018-19 and 2019-20, Rs. 1,43,296/-
towards salary increase arrears, Rs. 2,21,666/-
towards unutilized privileged leave (90 days) and
Rs. 10,500/- towards officiating allowance
respectively?
2. What order?
6. My answers to the aforesaid issues are as under:
(a)
Issue No. 1 :
In the Affirmative.
(b)
Issue No. 2 :
As per final Order.
I have heard the oral arguments of Ld. Adv.
Shri Suhas Naik appearing for the Applicant. On the
contrary, none remained present for the Opponents.
I have carefully perused the entire records of the
present case. I have also carefully considered the
submissions advanced by the Ld. Adv. Shri Suhas
Naik, appearing for the Applicant.
REASONS:
Issue No. 1:
7. By the present claim application, the Applicant
claimed a total amount of Rs. 5,64,715/- (Rupees Five
lakhs sixty four thousand seven hundred and fifteen
only) being Rs.1,35,072/- towards pending salary,
Rs. 32,181/- towards bonus, Rs. 22,000/- towards LTA,
medical allowances for the year 2018-19 and
2019-20, Rs.1,43,296/- towards salary increase arrears,
Rs. 2,21,666/- towards unutilized privileged leave
(90 days) and Rs.10,500/- towards officiating
allowance respectively.
To support his claim, the Applicant has produced
on record documentary evidence in support of his
oral evidence. The said evidence oral as well as
documentary adduced by the Applicant on record
remained unchallenged for want of denial.
(a) Unpaid Salary:
8. The Applicant claimed from the Opponent an
amount of Rs. 1,35,072/- towards his pending salaries
for the period from October, 2019 to 3rd February,
2020.
The evidence on record indicates that the
Applicant joined in the services of the Opponent No.1
as ‘Accounts Officer’ on 26-05-2003 and was
subsequently re-designated as ‘Accounts Executive’
w.e.f. 01-04-2012 and was promoted as ‘Asstt. Accounts
Manager’ w.e.f. 01-04-2018. The evidence on record
indicates that the monthly net salary of the Applicant
was Rs. 32,893/- after deducting the P.F. amounting to
Rs. 2107/- in the month of August, 2019.
9. The evidence on record indicates that the
Applicant resigned, vide his letter dated 04-01-2020
(Exb. 7) and was relieved on 20-03-2020 (Exb. 8) at
the close working hours of 03-02-2020. The evidence
on record indicates that the Applicant has not been
paid his earned salaries for the month from October,
2019 till 03-02-2020. The evidence on record indicates
that the monthly total net salary of the Applicant
1184
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 4
28TH APRIL, 2022
was Rs. 32,893/-. Thus, the Applicant is entitled to
receive from the Opponent a sum of Rs. 1,34,860/-
(Rupees One lakh thirty four thousandeight hundred
and sixty only) towards his unpaid salaries for the
period from October, 2019 till 03-02-2020.
(b) Bonus:
10. The Applicant claimed a bonus of an amount
of Rs. 32,181/- for the year 2018-2019 and for the year
2019-2020.
The bonus is paid to the employee under the
Payment of Bonus Act, 1965. Section 8 of the Act
provides for the eligibility of the bonus. Section 9 of
the Act provides for disqualification for the bonus.
Section 10 of the Act, provides for minimum bonus.
The provisions of Section 10 provides for the minimum
bonus of 8.33% of the salary or wage earned by the
employee during the accounting year or Rs.100/-,
whichever is higher, whether or not the Employer
has any allocable surplus in the accounting year.
Similarly, Section 11 of the Act, provides for payment
of maximum bonus.
11. The evidence on record indicates that the
Applicant has failed to produce on record relevant
materials to grant maximum bonus. In the
circumstances, the Applicant is entitled for minimum
bonus @ 8.33% of the salary or wage earned by the
employee during the accounting year or Rs. 100/-
whichever is higher, whether or not the Employer
has any allocable surplus in the accounting year.
12. The Applicant claimed from the Opponent an
amount of Rs. 32,181/- for the year 2018-19 and for
the year 2019-20 towards bonus. Taking
into consideration the monthly salary of the Applicant
of Rs. 32,893/-, the minimum bonus for the year
2018-19 and for the year 2019-20 @8.33% amounts to
Rs. 5,480/- (Rupees Five thousand four hundred and
eighty only).
Thus, the Applicant proved that he is entitled to
receive from the Opponent No. 1 a total amount of
Rs. 5,480/- (Rupees Five thousand four hundred and
eighty only) towards bonus for the year 2018-19 and
for the year 2019-20.
(c) Medical Allowance and LTA.
The Applicant claimed LTA and medical
allowance for the year 2018-2019 and for the year
2019-2020 for an amount of Rs. 22,000/- (Rupees
Twenty two thousand only).
13. The Applicant has however, failed to produce
on record any material evidence to show that he is
entitled for Medical Allowance. In the absence of
any material evidence on record, this Court cannot
grant any amount towards Medical Allowance to
the Applicant. Hence, it is held that the Applicant
failed to prove that he is entitled for medical
allowance and as such his claim towards Medical
Allowance stands rejected.
14. The Applicant has produced on recordletter
dated 26-12-2018 issued by the Opponent No.1
(Exb.06). As per the said letter at Exb. 06 issued by
the Opponent No. 1, he is eligible for Leave Travel
Allowance of Rs. 12,000/- per annum. The Applicant
is therefore, entitled for LTA of Rs. 12,000/- per annum
for the year 2018-19 and for the year 2019-20
amounting to Rs. 24,000/-. Hence, the Applicant has
proved that he is entitled for LTA for an amount of
Rs. 24,000/- (Rupees Twenty four thousand only).
(d) Salary Increase Arrears:
15. The Applicant claimed an amount of
Rs. 1,43,296/- towards the arrears in his increase in
salary from 01-04-2017 till 30-11-2018.
The evidence on record indicates that the net
salary of the Applicant was Rs. 29,883/- w.e.f.
01-04-2017 which was subsequently increased to
Rs. 35,000/- w.e.f. 01-04-2018 as per the salary revision
for the year 2016-17 and 2017-18 dated 26-12-2018
(Exb. 6). Thus, there was increase in salary of Rs. 5,117/-
per month from 01-04-2017 till 30-11-2018 (for 20
months) which comes to Rs. 1,02,340/-. Thus, the
Applicant is entitled to receive from the Opponent
No. 1 a sum of Rs. 1,02,340/- (Rupee One lakh two
thousand three hundred and forty only) towards
arrears of increase in salary.
(e) Unutilized Privileged Leave:
16. The Applicant claimed an amount of
Rs. 2,21,666/- towards 90 days of his unutilized
privileged leave. The net salary of the Applicant was
Rs. 32,893/- per month. Taking into consideration the
monthly salary of the Applicant, the Applicant is
entitled for an amount of Rs. 98,679/- towards his
unutilized privileged leave. Thus, the Applicant is
entitled to receive from the Opponent a sum of
Rs. 98,679/-(Rupees Ninety eight thousand six
hundred and seventy nine only) towards his
unutilized privileged leave.

17. In the case of New Standard Engineering
Company Limited v/s. Ashok H. Hire and Anr.,
reported in 2004 II CLR 574, the Hon’ble High Court
of Bombay, after relying upon a judgment of Hon’ble
Supreme Court of India, in the case of Suresh
Sakharam Chowgule and Anr. v/s. M/s. Parel Cotton
Press Factory (1994 SUPP. (3) SCC 704), held that
“though the provisions of Industrial Disputes Act, do
not expressly empowered the Industrial Court to grant
interest, the court is entitled to grant interest
depending upon facts of each case”.
18. In the case of Haryana State Federation of
Consumer Co-operative Wholesale Stores Ltd. v/s.
SiriKishan and Anr., reported in 1996 II CLR 688, the
Hon’ble High Court of Punjab and Haryana has held
that “where the Employer has retained what was
required to be disbursed to the Workman, by denying
their rightful dues for almost a period of 12 years,
during which the value of their money has
considerably diminished due to inflation i.e. prevalent
in the country, the Labour Court is perfectly entitled
to say that the workman should be compensated by
way of payment of interest.”
19. Thus, it is settled principle of law that the
Labour Court or Industrial Tribunal is empowered to
grant interest depending upon the facts and
circumstances of each case. In the instant case as
stated above, it has been proved that the Applicant
is entitled to receive from the Opponent No.1 a total
amount of Rs. 3,65,359/- (Rupees Three lakhs sixty
five thousand three hundred and fifty nine only)
towards unpaid salaries, bonus, arrears of salary
increase, unutilized privileged leave and LTA. The
Applicant is therefore entitled to receive from the
Opponent No.1 being Employer and Opponent No. 2
and Opponent No. 3 being partners of the Opponent
No. 1 the said amount of Rs. 3,65,359/- (Rupees Three
lakhs sixty five thousand three hundred and fifty
nine only) alongwith simple interest @ 9% p.a. from
the date of passing the present order till its actual
realization.
In view of above and with regards to the facts and
circumstances of the case, I pass the following order:
O R D E R
1. The present claim application of the Applicant
filed u/s 33-C (2) of the I.D. Act, 1947 is hereby allowed.
The Opponents are hereby directed to pay to
the Applicant, Mr. Shivnath P. Hoble, a sum of
Rs. 3,65,359/- (Rupees Three lakhs sixty five thousand
three hundred and fifty nine only) along with simple
interest @9% p.a. from the date of passing of the
present order till the actual realization of the said
amount.
2. No order as to cost.
Pronounced in the Open Court.
