6. He stated that although all seven union office bearers including himself were issued separate charge-sheets, the Employer decided to hold common enquiry.

He submitted that since he himself, Susen Jalmi and Suraj Kurtikar were protected workmen as per provisions of I.D. Act, prior permission before termination ought to have been obtained from this Hon'ble Tribunal and/or Dy. Labour Commissioner, failing which the termination is bad-in-law. He submitted that the charge-sheet issued to him and six other office bearers of the union and four other union activists were fabricated and cooked up besides being false.

7. He stated that after 5th June, 2015, no communication either oral or writing was received by him or his Defense Representative about the date of enquiry or appointment of a new Enquiry Officer.

He submitted that the charges levelled against him have not been proved in a fair and impartial manner and in accordance with the principles of natural justice. He submitted that his dismissal from services is malafide, vindictive, and by way of victimization for trade union activities, besides the same being discriminatory. The Workman therefore prayed that he be reinstated in service with full back wages and continuity of service with costs.
9. The Employer controverted the claim of the Workman by filing its written statement on 02-12-2016 at Exb. 7. The Employer, as an by way of its preliminary objections, submitted that the reference is not maintainable and it ought to be rejected as there is no "Industrial Dispute" as defined under the I.D. Act, 1947, that the Workman has accepted all the legal dues arising out of termination in full and final settlement and hence, the Workman is estopped from raising the present dispute, that there is non application of mind by the Appropriate Government while referring the present dispute and that the present reference is therefore null and void.
10. The Employer stated that it is a Private Limited Company incorporated under the provisions of the Companies Act, 1956, having its registered office at the Capital, 1802, 1901 Bandra Kurla Complex, Bandra (East), Mumbai and the factory located at Verna Industrial Estate, Verna, Salcette-Goa.

The fall in production which commenced from the month of December, 2014 gradually reached to a stage where during the preceding week the production was reduced to around 25% of the normal.
The management has consistently requested the workmen to stop the unfair practice of lowering the production and to restore normalcy. However, the workmen continue with the unfair labor practice of lowering the productive process.
Subsequent there to by Notice dated 7th February, 2015, letter dated 14th April, 2015 and various communications, Management invited the attention of the workmen to the fall in production and requested the workmen to restore normalcy. However, instead of restoring normalcy, to the utter shock and surprise of the Management, the workmen in a concerted manner stopped production from the commencement of Second shift of 20th April, 2015 and started squatting within the factory premises. As a consequence thereto the entire productive process came to a grinding halt. The Management has suffered huge losses till date and continues to do so. The Employer/Party II is engaged in the manufacturing of drugs which include life-saving drugs like Wysolone, Folvite, Pacitane, Overal-L etc.

We have received various communications from our dealers, hospitals and doctors informing us of the serious consequences arising as a result of drugs not being available in the market and the suffering of the patients, especially those who had already been prescribed such drugs and consuming the same. The consequence of sudden discontinuation of supply to the patients has as expected adverse consequences on the health of the patients.
You are an office bearer of Gomantak Mazdoor Sangh. The Management had been consistently communicating with the workmen who have been participating in the go slow/stoppage of work to desist from the unfair labour practice of reducing willfully and deliberately the production. The fall in production was a consequence of the instigation and incitement of the workmen to commence and continue with the reduction of production. It has also been observed that the Party I have been actively inducing the workmen to continue with the go slow.
The participation in the willful go slow and the instigation and incitement of the workmen to initiate OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 51 23RD MARCH, 2023 the go slow and stoppage of work continued and as such amounts to a serious misconduct under the Model Standing Orders.
The Management had therefore decided to conduct an enquiry into the misconduct alleged against the Party-I. The Party-I was suspended pending enquiry by suspension order dated 21-04-2015.
The above acts of the Party-I constituted the following Acts of Misconducts under the Model Standing Orders:

The Employer therefore prayed that the Workman be directed to deposit the entire amount in the Court and in the event the Workman fails to deposit the amount within the period acquitted by this Hon'ble Court, the defense of the Workman may be struck off and the reference may be rejected or the Workman may be stopped for mediating the present reference.
