3.1 However, these guidelines will not apply to
banks and insurance companies.
Scope:
4. These guidelines shall apply to surplus funds
available with CPSEs after meeting the business
requirements including operating expenses,
payment of taxes, working capital, debt servicing,
capital expenditure, replacement/revamping/
/renewal of business assets, etc. Cash surplus of

5.CPSEs shall also ensure compliance with the

6. These guidelines shall apply to CPSEs subject
to the following:
i. If any statutory guidelines have been issued

to the guidelines laid down by such regulatory
authority.
ii. If surplus funds have been earmarked for any

3046
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 51
23RD MARCH, 2023
iii. These guidelines will not apply to investment
of surplus funds kept outside India by CPSEs
or their overseas subsidiaries for normal
business purposes in compliance with
applicable Foreign Exchange Management
Act, 1999 (FEMA) regulations and the local
applicable laws.
iv. The CPSEs shall also comply with Section 186
of the Companies Act, 2013.
Principles of investment of surplus funds:
7. CPSEs shall invest their surplus funds as per
the following broad principles:
i. Investment shall be made in instruments
ensuring the safety of funds.
ii. There shall be no speculation on the yield
obtaining from the investment. It shall be
known at the time of making the investment
except for investment in debt mutual funds.
However, in case of investment in marketable
debt-instruments, (viz., mutual fund debt
instruments, Government securities and T bills)
there is a risk that final yield may differ from
yield estimated at the time of investment due
to movement in prices of the security, if such
debt-instruments are sold due to unforeseen
circumstances before final maturity date (i.e.,
they are not held to maturity). Such investment
will not be treated as having speculative yield.
Similarly, in case of premature encashment of
bank term deposits due to unforeseen
exigencies, the difference between fixed yield
at the time of investment and actual yield at
premature payment will not be speculative
yield.
iii. Since investment in debt schemes of mutual
funds are subject to market risks, thI track-
-record of the scheme shall be taken into
account for taking investment decisions.
iv. There shall be a proper commercial
appreciation and due diligence before any
investment decision of surplus funds is taken.
v. The forecast of surplus availability may be
worked out normally for a period of one year
at any point of time so as to deploy available
funds on longer term basis at better yields.
This forecasting exercise shall ideally be done
every month or quarter.
vi. In order to utilize the surplus funds effectively,
CPSE may also prepare best estimate of the
periods for which surplus funds would be
available to facilitate investment decisions for
such periods including on a day-to-day basis.
vii. Funds shall normally not be invested by a
CPSE at a particular rate of interest for a
particular period of time while the CPSE is
resorting to borrowing at an equal or higher
rate of interest for its requirements for the
same period. However, CPSEs may take
decisions on all matters relating to short term
cash management, as they would be the best
judge of asset-liability mismatch in the short
run.
viii. CPSEs shall put in place a centralized system
of liquidity management for optimum utilization
of liquidity for business operation.
Eligible Investments:
8. CPSEs shall invest their surplus funds in one or
more of the following instruments, subject to
principles outlined above:
i. Treasury bills and Government of India
securities.
ii. Term deposits with any scheduled commercial
bank incorporated in India and with a net
worth (i.e. the paid up capital plus free reserves
of the bank) of atleast Rs. 500 Crore, fulfilling
the capital adequacy norms as prescribed by
the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to
time. Capital adequacy and net worth of Banks
may be assessed on the basis of their Annual
Accounts (audited) or as available on the
website of RBI, whichever is the latest. While
investing, CPSEs shall ensure that minimum
60% of funds placed in bank term deposits are
placed with public sector banks. Further, CPSEs
may obtain competitive quotations from Banks.
iii. Instruments issued by scheduled commercial
banks incorporated in India/all India term
lending and refinancing institutions including
their subsidiaries e. g. certificates of deposits,
deposits schemes, commercial paper or similar
instruments, which have been rated by any
two Credit Rating Agencies, registered with
SEBI and have been accorded the highest
safety credit rating.
iv. Loans/Deposits with CPSEs (including those
under inter-corporate borrowing programme)
subject to availability of highest credit rating
from any Credit Rating Agency registered with
SEE! for borrowing for the corresponding period.
v. Investment in Collateralized Borrowing and
Lending Obligations (CBLOs) where Clearing
Corporation of India Ltd. (CCIL) acts as
counterparty.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

a) Only Maharatna, Navratna and Miniratna
CPSEs are permitted to invest in debt based
schemes of SEBI regulated public sector
mutual funds.

any two of the Credit Rating Agencies
registered with SEBI.

corpus amounting to at least Rs. 1000 Crore
for the scheme at the time of investment. The
corpus may be reckoned from the latest
published information at the time of
investment.

management control systems for investment
in such mutual funds and keep the

rating agencies approved by SEBI.

9. The period of maturity, including cases of
residual maturity, of any instrument of investment
shall not exceed one year from the date of
investment. However, in the case of term deposits
with banks and GOI securities, it may be up to

11. In case of Maharatna/Navratana CPSEs,
decisions regarding investment of short-term
surplus funds up to one year maturity may be

of CPSE.
16. The Board of every CPSE shall arrange to

SERIES II No. 51
23RD MARCH, 2023
existing facilities. He stated that with effect from
20-04-2015, the Employer did not allot any work to
workers inside the factory and kept them idle as the
Employer was not happy with the workers forming a
Trade Union. He stated that with effect from
24-04-2015, all workmen were kept outside the
factory gates and were not allowed to resume work
inside the factory. He stated that this continued for
several months and later the Employer stated that
they would not allow the workmen to report for work
unless they gave an undertaking, the contents of
which were not disclosed to them. He stated that
later on, the Employer allowed all workmen to report
for work without undertaking and all workmen
reported for work with effect from 17-08-2015. He
stated that the Employer has till date not paid wages
of the workers from 20-4-2015 to 16-08-2015. He stated
that however, eleven workmen, who were issued
suspension orders pending enquiry, were not allowed
to report for work. He stated that meanwhile, after
formation of a Trade union, the Employer suspended
the services of all office bearers of the Union namely,
himself, Sagar Dhume, Krishnakant Gawas, Navin
Gaude, Susen Jalmi, Suraj Kurtikar, and Suraj
Salgaonkar.

were suspended and were issued charge-sheets
based on false and fabricated charges. He stated
that as the workers were not happy with Gomantak
Mazdoor Sangh Union because of the developments
which took place which workers least expected. He
stated that all the workers, after holding a General
Body Meeting decided to resign from the said Union
and became the members of Kamgarancho Ekvott
Trade Union of which Subhash Naik George is the
President with effect from 20-05-2015 after resigning
from Gomantak Mazdoor Sangh. He stated that these
developments were informed to the Employer in
writing. He stated that the said Union Kamagarancho
Ekvott raised several Industrial Disputes with the
Employer such as Charter of Demands on behalf of
the workers, illegal and unjustified refusal of work
with effect from 24-04-2015, unfair labour practice,
non-payment of bonus, illegal termination of services
of workmen and illegal imposition of punishments to
workers etc. He stated that as the Employer did not
accept the demands, the union raised disputes
before Dy. Labour Commissioner who is also
Conciliation Officer of Government of Goa, where all
industrial disputes are pending conciliation and
some disputes have been referred to this Hon’ble
Tribunal for adjudication.
5. He stated that although all seven union office
bearers including himself were issued separate
charge-sheets, the Employer decided to hold
common enquiry. He stated that Shri Prashant
Agarwal, Advocate who was appointed as an Enquiry
Officer to conduct the enquiries in respect of charge
-sheets issued to seven union office bearers. He
stated that Shri Prasanna Chawadikar, Advocate was
appointed as Management Representative. He
stated that initially Puti Gaonkar was the Defense
Representative on behalf of charge-sheeted workmen
and later on, Subhash Naik George was appointed as
Defense Representative by himself and other charge-
-sheeted workers. He stated that on 02-06-2015 a
date was fixed by the Enquiry Officer Mr. Agarwal to
hold the enquiry. However, on that day Ld. Enquiry
Officer did not attend the enquiry at the hearing fixed
at Panaji-Goa. He stated that the Management
Representative, Shri Prasanna Chawadikar, who was
present for the enquiry, informed that Ld. Enquiry
Officer had gone to his native place to bring his wife
and he could not get tickets to return to Goa due to
vacation rush and that he is still travelling in the
train. He stated that the Management Representative
informed him and all other charge-sheeted workmen
as well as Defense Representative that Ld. Enquiry
Officer, Mr. Agarwal had resigned from the post of
Enquiry Officer and that he could not come for the
enquiry due to his personal reasons. He stated that
Management Representative informed that the next
date of enquiry would be communicated after the
management appointed a new Enquiry Officer.
6. 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 stated that after few months, the Employer
dismissed the service of the four union office bearers
with effect from 16-06-2015 claiming that they held
enquiry against them and claiming that Ld. Enquiry
Officer held them guilty of the charges namely, Sagar
Dhume, Krishnakant Gawas, Navin Gaude, and Suraj
Salgaonkar. Aggrieved by the said blatantly illegal
and unjustified terminations, the Workman and three
other workmen raised an industrial disputes with
the Employer and later on with the Conciliation
Officer/Dy. Labour Commissioner which ended in
failure.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

7. He contended that during the pendency of such
disputes as per provisions of Section 33 of the I. D.
Act, 1947, the Employer cannot terminate the services
of the workmen without prior permission or without
approval of action taken by them. He submitted that
the Employer, as an afterthought, terminated the
services of remaining three office bearers namely,
Ramdas Mayenkar, Susen Jalmi and Suraj Kurtikar
with effect from 23-12-2015. He submitted that with
these termination, Employer have terminated all
Seven office bearers who were elected after formation
of Trade Union which clearly proves that this is a
clear case of victimization for trade union activities.
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 members were fabricated and cooked up
besides being false. He submitted that the same were
issued to him and others to victimize them for their
trade union activities as they had formed a union for
the first time in the company. He submitted that
Shailesh Redkar, whom the Employer claims to have
been appointed as Enquiry Officer, was never
appointed as Enquiry Officer and no intimation to
that effect has been sent to him. He submitted that
no intimation of dates of enquiry by the said Enquiry
Officer if any, was sent to him. He submitted that the
records of enquiry proceedings alleged to have been
conducted by Shailesh Redkar have not been
supplied to him till date. He submitted that the
Employer, before terminating his service has not
issued him a show cause notice enclosing copy of
the findings of the Enquiry Officer, if any, and records
of enquiry proceedings if any, seeking his views
before dismissal which is mandatory. He submitted
that no enquiry was held in respect of charges
levelled against him in the charge-sheet issued to
him. He submitted that the copy of the findings of
the enquiry if any, were not supplied to him before
termination of his services. He submitted that since
the date of dismissal, he is unemployed and is
dependent on his family and friends on sustainance.
He submitted that his termination is illegal and
unjustified as he has been dismissed from service in
total violation of principles of natural justice. He
submitted that no opportunity whatsoever was given
to him to defend himself in the enquiry. He submitted
that the management witnesses were not allowed to
cross-examine by him. 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.
8. The Employer controverted the claim of
Workman by filing its written statement on
03-05-2017 at Exb. 5. 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.
9. 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 Employer
stated that it is engaged in the manufacturing of
pharmaceuticals at its factory located at Verna
Industrial Estate, Verna-Goa.
10. The Employer stated that the Workman was
issued a charge-sheet dated 07-05-2015 alleging as
under:
“It has been observed that from the month of
December, 2014, the workmen have deliberately and
willfully reduced production as a result of which the
Management suffered heavy losses. 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 Labour practice
of lowering the productive process.
Subsequent by Notice dated 7th February, 2015,
letter dated 14th April, 2015 and through 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

SERIES II No. 51
23RD MARCH, 2023
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. As they were aware, engaged in the
manufacturing of drugs which include life-saving
drugs like Wysolone, Folvite, Pacitane, Overal-L etc.
All these products are listed in the National List

Sangh. The Management had been consistently
communicating with you and other workmen who
have been participating in the go slow/stoppage of
work to desist from the unfair labor 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 you 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
the go slow and continue 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 you. You were suspended pending enquiry

money for prosecuting the reference on merits on
the principle of “Who seeks equity must do equity”.

facts of the case in brief as pleaded by the Workman
are that the Employer/Party-II (for short ‘Employer’)
is a Multinational Pharmaceutical Company engaged
in the production of tablets at its factory at Verna

after formation of a trade Union in 2014, all the
workers of the Employer Company joined the said
union. He stated that he was elected as an office
bearer of the said union and as such he was a
Protected Workman as per the provisions of the I.D.
Act, 1947. He stated that initially all workmen

although the duties performed by them remained the
same. He stated that all the workmen of the Employer
including himself were issued appointment letters

Employer.
3. He stated that in June, 2014, workers formed a
Trade Union for the first time, when all the workers of
the Employer factory became members of Gomantak
Mazdoor Sangh Trade Union. He stated that the
Employer was informed about the formation of the
Trade Union. He stated that names of seven Union
office bearers of the Union including himself were
also communicated to the Employer. He stated that
the Employer did not appreciate the decision of the
workers to form a Trade Union and started harassing
the workers by withdrawing existing benefits and
existing facilities. He stated that with effect from
20-04-2015, the Employer did not allot any work to
workers inside the factory and kept them idle as the
Employer was not happy with the workers forming a
Trade Union. He stated that with effect from
24-04-2015, all workmen were kept outside the
factory gates and were not allowed to resume work
inside the factory. He stated that this continued for
several months and later the Employer stated that
they would not allow the workmen to report for work
unless they gave an undertaking, the contents of
which were not disclosed to them. He stated that
later on, the Employer allowed all workmen to report
for work without undertaking and all workmen
reported for work with effect from 17-08-2015. He
stated that the Employer has till date not paid wages
of the workers from 20-4-2015 to 16-08-2015. He stated
that however, eleven workmen, who were issued
suspension orders pending enquiry, were not allowed
to report for work. He stated that meanwhile, after
formation of the Trade union, the Employer
suspended the services of all office bearers of the
Union namely, Ramdas Mayenkar, Sagar Dhume,
Krishnakant Gawas, himself, Susen Jalmi, Suraj
Kurtikar, and Suraj Salgaonkar.
4. He stated that all the aforesaid workers were
issued charge-sheets on trumped up and fabricated
charges. He stated that he himself and others replied
to the charge-sheets denying the allegations leveled
against them. He stated that the suspension of seven
union office bearers including himself was from
21-04-2015. He stated that four more workmen were
also suspended from service with effect from
23-04-2015 pending enquiry namely, Ankush
Gaonkar, Mangaldas Gaude, Umakant Chari, and

were suspended and were issued charge-sheets
based on false and fabricated charges.
5. He stated that as the workers were not happy
with Gomantak Mazdoor Sangh Union because of the
developments which took place which the workers
least expected. He stated that all the workers after
holding a General Body Meeting decided to resign
from the said Union and became the members of
Kamgarancho Ekvott Trade Union of which Shri
Subhash Naik George is the President with effect
from 20-05-2015 after resigning from Gomantak
Mazdoor Sangh. He stated that these developments
were informed to the Employer in writing. He stated
3060
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 51
23RD MARCH, 2023
that the said Union Kamagarancho Ekvott raised
several Industrial Disputes with the Employer such
as Charter of Demands on behalf of the workers,
illegal and unjustified refusal of work with effect from
24-04-2015, unfair labour practice, non-payment of
bonus, illegal termination of services of workmen and
illegal imposition of punishments to workers etc. He
stated that as the Employer did not accept the
demands, the union raised disputes before Dy. Labour
Commissioner who is also Conciliation Officer of
Government of Goa, where all industrial disputes are
pending conciliation and some disputes have been
referred to this Hon’ble Tribunal for adjudication.
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 stated that Shri Prashant
Agarwal, Advocate, was appointed as an Enquiry
Officer to conduct the enquiries in respect of charge-
sheets issued to seven union office bearers. He stated
that Shri Prasanna Chawadikar, Advocate, was
appointed as Management Representative. He
stated that initially, Puti Gaonkar was the Defense
Representative on behalf of charge-sheeted workmen
and later on, Shri Subhash Naik George was
appointed as Defense Representative by himself and
other charge-sheeted workers. He stated that on
02-06-2015 a date was fixed by the Enquiry Officer
Mr. Agarwal to hold the enquiry. However, on that
day Ld. Enquiry Officer did not attend the enquiry at
the hearing fixed at Panaji-Goa. He stated that the
Management Representative, Shri Prasanna
Chawadikar, who was present for the enquiry,
informed that Ld. Enquiry Officer had gone to his
native place to bring his wife and he could not get
tickets to return to Goa due to vacation rush and
that he was still travelling in the train. He stated
that the Management Representative informed him
and all other charge-sheeted workmen as well as
Defense Representative that Ld. Enquiry Officer, Mr.
Agarwal had resigned from the post of Enquiry
Officer and that he would not come for the enquiry
due to his personal reasons. He stated that
Management Representative informed that the next
date of enquiry would be communicated after the
management appointed a new Enquiry Officer.
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 stated that after few months, the Employer
dismissed the service of the four union office bearers
with effect from 16-06-2015 claiming that they held
the enquiry against them and claiming that Ld.
Enquiry Officer held them guilty of the charges
namely, Sagar Dhume, Krishnakant Gawas, himself,
and Suraj Salgaonkar. Aggrieved by the said
blatantly illegal and unjustified terminations, the
Workman and three other workmen raised an
industrial disputes with the Employer and later on
with the Conciliation Officer/Dy. Labour
Commissioner which ended in failure.
8. He contended that during the pendency of such
disputes as per provisions of Section 33 of the I. D.
Act, 1947, the Employer cannot terminate the services
of the workmen without prior permission or without
approval of action taken by them. He submitted that
the Employer, as an afterthought, terminated the
services of remaining three office bearers namely,
Ramdas Mayenkar, Susen Jalmi and Suraj Kurtikar
with effect from 23-12-2015. He submitted that with
these termination, Employer have terminated all
Seven office bearers who were elected after formation
of Trade Union which clearly proves that this is a
clear case of victimization for trade union activities.
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. He submitted that the same were
issued to him and others to victimize them for their
trade union activities as they had formed a union for
the first time in the company. He submitted that
Shailesh Redkar, whom the Employer claims to have
been appointed as Enquiry Officer, was never
appointed as Enquiry Officer and no intimation to
that effect has been sent to him. He submitted that
no intimation of dates of enquiry by the said Enquiry
Officer if any, was sent to him. He submitted that the
records of enquiry proceedings alleged to have been
conducted by Shailesh Redkar have not been
supplied to him till date. He submitted that the
Employer, before terminating his service has not
issued him a show cause notice enclosing copy of
the findings of the Enquiry Officer, if any, and records
of enquiry proceedings if any, seeking his views
before dismissal which is mandatory. He submitted
that no enquiry was held in respect of charges
levelled against him in the charge-sheet issued to
him. He submitted that the copy of the findings of
the enquiry if any, were not supplied to him before
termination of his services. He submitted that since
the date of dismissal, he is unemployed and is
dependent on his family and friends on sustainance.
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 51
23RD MARCH, 2023
3061
He submitted that his termination is illegal and
unjustified as he has been dismissed from service in
total violation of principles of natural justice. He
submitted that no opportunity of whatsoever was
given to him to defend himself in the enquiry. He
submitted that the management witnesses were not
allowed to cross-examine by him. 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 Employer
stated that it is engaged in the manufacturing of
pharmaceuticals at its factory located at Verna
Industrial Estate, Verna-Goa.
11. The Employer stated that the Workman was
issued a charge-sheet dated 07-05-2015 alleging as
under:
“It has been observed that from the month of
December, 2014, the workmen have deliberately and
willfully reduced production as a result of which the
Management suffered heavy losses. 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.
All these products are listed in the National List
of Essential Medicines (NLEM), issued by Ministry
of Health, Government of India. Wysolone is a life-
saving steroidal drug with anti-inflammatory
properties and controls the painful symptoms of a
temporary autoimmune condition called Polymyalgia
Rheumatic (PMR), Folvite, essentially taken by
women during the first trimester of pregnancy for
development of the foetus and also used for all kinds
of anaemic conditions, Pacitane, drug used by
Patients suffering from early symptoms of Parkinson’s
Disease and Overal-L. You are fully aware that the
discontinuation due to non-availability of these
drugs can have an adverse effect on the patients and
the society at large.
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
3062
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:
a. Willful insubordination or disobedience,
whether alone or in combination with others,
to any lawful and reasonable order of a
superior.
b. Willful damage to or loss of employer’s good
or property.
c. Habitual absence without leave or absence
without leave for more than 10 days.
d. Habitual breach of any law applicable to the
establishment.
e. Riotous or disorderly behavior during
working hours at the establishment or any
act subversive of discipline.
f. Neglect of work.
g. Striking work or inciting others to strike work
in contravention of the provision of any law,
or rule having the force of law”.
12. The Employer stated that the workmen was
suspended pending enquiry. The Employer stated
that management conducted an enquiry into the
above said charges. The Employer stated that the
enquiry was conducted by Mr. Shailesh Redkar the
Enquiry Officer who conducted the enquiry is an
impartial manner and every opportunity was given
to the Workman to defend the charges levelled
against him but the Workman failed to participate in
the inquiry. The Employer stated that the enquiry
was therefore, held ex-parte. The Employer stated
that Ld. Inquiry Officer submitted his findings dated
13-6-2015 and after appreciating the evidence on
records held the workman guilty of the charges
levelled against him. The Employer stated that they
considered the proceedings of the inquiry, the
findings of the Inquiry Officer dated 13-6-2015 and
concurred with the same. The Employer stated that
they considered the past records and did not find
any extenuating circumstances for mitigation of
punishment of dismissal from its service. The
Employer stated that considering the gravity of
proved misconducts, the Workman was dismissed
from its service vide letter dated 16-6-2015.
13. The Employer stated that a cheque bearing No.
101980 drawn on Deutsche Bank, Mumbai for an
amount of Rs. 1,57,510/- (Rupees One lakh fifty seven
thousand five hundred and ten only) was sent to the
Workman at his home address by Registered A/D in
full and final settlement of all his dues. The Employer
stated that the statement to that effect was sent
through Registered Post at his correspondence
address on 10-7-2015 and the same has been received
by him. The Employer stated that the Workman was
paid full and final settlement of all his dues which
included basic pay, P.L. encashment, House rent
allowance, Conveyance allowance, Medical
allowance, LTA alongwith gratuity. The Employer
stated that the said amount has been received by
the Workman and has been credited to his account
on 29-9-2015. The Employer stated that the Workman
has also collected all his Provident Fund dues and
for the purpose of Employees Provident Fund and
Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952 is an excluded
employee. The Employer stated that since the
Workman is prosecuting this matter after having
received the benefits/full and final settlement of all
legal dues arising out of termination, it would be
equitable to direct the Workman to return the
benefits so received from Employer with 8.5% interest
on the said money for prosecuting the reference on
merits on the principle of “who seeks equity must do
equity. 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.
14. The Employer stated that by notice dated
20-4-2015, the management informed the employee
that their act of stoppage of work from the second
shift amounts to willful stoppage and gross
indiscipline. The Employer stated that the
management advised the employees to report for
work as per the shift schedule. The Employer stated
that however, the employees continued with the
stoppage and continued squatting within the factory
premises. The Employer stated that, by notice dated
21-4-2015, invited the attention of the workmen in
the third shift of 20th April, and first shift of 21th
April, 2015, to the willful stoppage of work and again
advised them to report for work. The Employer stated
that however, they failed to report for duty and
continued to squat within the factory premises. The
Employer stated that the management also decided
to issue charge-sheets to some of the employees for
the misconducts committed by them. The Employer
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 51
23RD MARCH, 2023
3063
stated that in view of the seriousness of the
misconducts alleged against them and in the interest
of conducting a proper inquiry, and to avoid any
interference with such inquiry, the management
decided to suspend them pending inquiry and formal
charge-sheets. The Employer stated that the said
workmen were suspended pending inquiry vide
letter of suspension dated 21-4-2015. The Employer
stated that in the letter of suspension, the
management informed the workmen that the
management has decided to institute an inquiry into
the acts of misconduct alleged against them. The
Employer stated that as the employees continued
with the work stoppage and failed to report for work
and on the contrary were sitting within the factory
premises, the management, by letter dated
23-4-2015, invited the attention of General Secretary
of the union Mr. Puti Gaonkar to the stoppage of work
by the employees from 20-4-2015 and to the notices
displayed on its notice board requesting the striking
employees to report for work. The Employer stated
that in the said letter, management informed the
union that the management is required to take
written undertaking from all the workmen that they
will perform their duties of manufacturing and
restored normalcy in the factory premises. The
Employer stated that the said letter was also
displayed on its notice board. The Employer stated
that alongwith the copy of the said undertaking, the
workmen was also required to sign a notice displayed
on its notice board and copies of the same were
placed at the security gate. The Employer stated
that on and from commencement of general shifts of
24-4-2015, the employees who had reported at the
security gate were advised to sign the undertaking.
The Employer stated that however, they refused to
do so and squatted outside the factory premises in
front of the security cabin from where all the
employees entered inside the factory premises
thereby, causing inconvenience to the employees
who reported for duty. The Employer stated that the
action of the employees of stoppage of work from
28-4-2015 is a concerted manner and continuing such
stoppage amounts to a strike which is illegal and
unjustified.
15. The Employer started that by notice dated
27-4-2015 displayed on 27-4-2015, the management
invited the attention of the workmen that stoppage
of work by way of illegal strike from 28-4-2015 and to
the undertakings which they declined to submit to
the management by giving an assurance of
restoration of normalcy. The Employer stated that
by the said notice, they were informed not to sit at
the security gate and squat outside the security gate
as it caused inconvenience as well as atmosphere of
fear and threat in the mind of managerial and other
employees as well as the customers, welders who
are entering the factory premises. The Employer
stated that the employees were therefore, advised
not to squat near the factory gate and to stay away
from the said place. The Employer stated that as the
workmen continued to commit illegalities, the
management filed a suit for permanent as well as
temporary injunction on 27-4-2015. The Employer
stated that in the meanwhile, the management, vide
its letter to the individual Workman dated 02-06-2015
called upon the workmen to withdraw the agitation
and report for work by giving declaration/
/undertaking as mentioned therein. The Employer
stated that the workmen however, did not responded.
The Employer stated that they again, by its letter
dated 23-6-2015, sent to individual Workman
requested to join the duties. The Employer stated
that the workmen did not respond. The Employer
stated that the management once again vide its
appeal dated 31-07-2015 sent to individual Workman
requested the workmen to report for work in their
shift as per their regular shift. The Employer stated
that on 16-07-2015, four employees who were the
members of “Kamgarancho Ekvott” resumed duties.
The Employer stated that thereafter, one more appeal
was sent to the workmen on 11-08-2015 wherein,
reference was given of the appeal of 23-06-2016,
3-07-2015, and 31-07-2015 to report for work in the
shift and the shift schedule was annexed thereto.
The Employer stated that finally on 17-08-2015 the
remaining workers resumed duties.
16. The Employer submitted that the Ld. Enquiry
Officer followed the principles of natural justice and
granted every conceivable opportunities to the
workmen to be present but however, failed to
participate in the enquiry and therefore Ld. Enquiry
Officer had no option but to conduct the inquiry ex-
parte. The Employer submitted that Ld. Enquiry
Officer on the basis of the evidence on record
submitted reasoned findings holding the Workman
guilty of the charges levelled against him. The
Employer submitted that the management
considered the findings of the Enquiry Officer,
concurred with the same and considering the gravity
of misconduct decided to dismiss him from the
service and hence the present application for
permission for dismissal of the Workman. The
Employer denies the case of the Workman as pleaded
by him and prayed for rejection of the present
reference.
17. Thereafter, the Workman filed his Re-joinder
on 13-12-2016 at Exb.8. The Workman, by way of its
Re-joinder, confirms and reiterates all his
submissions, averments and statements made in his
3064
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 51
23RD MARCH, 2023
Claim Statement to be true and correct and denies
all the statements, averments and submissions made
by the Employer in its Written Statement, which are
contrary to its Statement and averments made in his
Claim Statement.
18. Based on the pleadings filed by the respective
parties, this court framed the following issues on
5-4-2017 at Exb. 12.
1. Whether a free, fair and proper enquiry was
conducted against the Workman/Party I in
respect of charge-sheet dated 07-05-2015 in
accordance with the principles of natural
justice?
2. Whether the charges of misconduct leveled
against the Workman vide charge-sheet dated
07-05-2015 have been proved to the satisfaction
of this court by acceptable evidence?
3. Whether the Workman/Party I proved that his
dismissal from service is in violation of Section
33 of the I.D. Act, 1947?
4. Whether the Workman/Party-I proves that the
action of the Employer/Party II in dismissing him
from service w.e.f. 16-06-2015, is illegal and
unjustified?
5. Whether the Employer/Party II proves that the
reference is not maintainable and bad-in-law
and in view of the reasons stated in para 1(a) to
1(d) of its written statement?
6. Whether the Workman/Party-I is entitled to any
relief?
7. What order? What award?
19. Thereafter, both the parties led their evidence
on the preliminary issues No.1 and 2. Subsequently,
the Employer filed an application for amendment of
its written statement which was allowed by order
dated 17-3-2020 after hearing both parties. The
Workman also filed its synopsis in his written
arguments. On 12-3-2022, Ld. Rep. Shri Subhash Naik
