2. On receipt of the reference, a case was

registered under Ref. No. IT/85/2007 and registered

A/D notice was issued to the parties. In pursuance

to the said notice, the Parties put in their appearance.

The Workmen/Party-I filed their Statement of Claim

on 30-05-2008 at Exb. 12, through All Goa General

Employees Union (for short, “the said Union”). “The

facts of the case, in brief as pleaded by the Union are

that all 14 workers involved in the present industrial

dispute are members of and represented by the All

Goa General Employees Union which is a duly

registered Trade Union under the law. The Union

stated that they were the employees of the Employer (1)

in its office establishment as per their respective

dates of employment. The Union stated that 10 of

Workmen were purportedly terminated w.e.f.

09-10-2002 on the alleged ground of intended winding

up of the Employer (1). However there was no such

winding up in fact. The Union stated that two

workers were subsequently terminated on

11-10-2002 and 3 workers were terminated on

01-03-2004. The Union stated that the bare perusal of

the dates of termination itself shows that there was

no winding up in fact. The Union stated that the

Government of Goa which is the sole share holder of

the entire share capital of the Employer (1) only

458

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 19

10TH AUGUST, 2023

purported to transfer all the assets and liabilities of

the Employer (1) to the Employer (2) which is also a

statutory company belonging to the Government of

Goa. The Union stated that all the 14 workers were

therefore entitled to be continued in employment on

the rolls of the Transferee company i.e. Goa Housing

Board i.e. Employer (2), if at all there was such a

transfer in actual fact. The Union stated that the

business activities of the Employer (1) were never

closed. The Union stated that there was no prior

notice of closure. The Union stated that no

information of intended closure was given by the

Employer (1) to the authorities under the I.D. Act, 1947,

nor was any permission sought. The Union stated

that in fact the workers were subsequently given a

written assurance that their services would be

continued. The Union stated that this fact by itself

proves that the Employer (1) is conscious of the

illegality and unjustifiability of its actions. The Union

stated that instead of continuing their services, they

were allegedly retrenched/terminated. The Union

stated that the alleged retrenchment compensation

was, in fact, paid by the Employer (2). The Union

stated that this itself shows that the workers were

actually entitled to be continued on the roll of

Employer (2). The Union stated that this all the more

glaring because the entire assets and liabilities of

the Employer (1), (including all the on going projects

of the Employer (1) were purportedly transferred to

the Employer (2). The Union stated that the

Government of Goa had in fact also taken a separate

decision to continue the workers in employment,

albeit in other Corporations/autonomous bodies. The

Union stated that even after all the alleged

retrenchment of the workers on the alleged ground

of winding up of the Employer (1), the business

activities of the Employer (1) still continued in full

force. The Union stated that after the purported

transfer all the assets and liabilities of the Employer

(1) to the Employer (2), all the schemes and projects

of Employer (1) have been continued by the Employer

(2). The Union stated that the Employer (2) has also

employed new workers on its roll in permanent,

temporary and casual jobs. The Union stated that

however, the Employer (2) has not re-employed the

workers concerned in this dispute, despite the policy

decision of the Government in that respect. The

Union submitted that this is illegal and contrary to

their right to re-employment. The Union stated that

the failure/refusal of the Employer (2) to re-employ

them on the rolls of the Employer (2) is wilful and

deliberate. The Union stated that the Employer (1)

and the Employer (2) both were in possession of

seniority list of the workers concerned in this dispute

and were duty bound to transfer the services of all

the said workers from the rolls of the Employer (1) to

the rolls of the Employer (2), at the time of the

purported transfer of the establishment. The Union

stated that notwithstanding the purported

retrenchment of the workers concerned in this

dispute, they were also entitled to be re-employed

on the rolls of the Employer (2). The Union stated

that they are entitled for a direction from this Hon’ble

Tribunal directing the Employer (2) to re-employ all

the workers concerned in this dispute. The Union

therefore prayed that the workers are all entitled for

being reinstated in service either with Employer (1)

or with its transferee Company viz. Employer (2) with

full back wages, continuity in service and other

consequential benefits.

3. The Employer (1) resisted the claim of the Union

by filing its written statement on 30-05-2008 at Exb. 15.

The Employer (1), as and by way of its reply, submitted

that the present proceedings are not maintainable

as the Union who are agitating before this Hon’ble

Tribunal have been duly retrenched after obtaining

approval of Government on payment of one month

salary and that they have not protested while

relieving them and accepted the retrenchment.

4. The Employer (1) stated that it was a

Government Corporation. The Employer (1) stated that

it was suffering heavy losses and therefore has been

wound up by the government and its assets and

liabilities of payments were transferred to the

Employer (2). The Employer (1) stated that the

liabilities towards any employee of its Corporation

has not been taken over by the Employer (2) and

hence the Union cannot make any claim against the

Employer (2) and Employer (1) Corporation which

does not exist. The Employer (1) stated that it was

established under the Companies Act, 1956 on

30-09-1993 by the Government of Goa with the main

objective to undertake housing, improvement,

building schemes and other allied activities. The

Employer (1) stated that its Board of Directors were

appointed by the Government from time to time. The

Employer (1) stated that after its establishment, it

started incurring continuous losses since 1995-96.

The Employer (1) stated that it was not able to utilize

its assets and fell short in achieving its objectives for

which it was created. The Employer (1) stated that

the funds allotted to them for construction of low

income houses by the planning commission were

utilized for some other purposes like construction of

HIG flats and no initiatives were taken by its officials

and its directors to sell the flat or utilize the land in

their possession to develop and sell. The Employer (1)

stated that there was constant refrain to lack of funds

because of not putting the fixed assets to proper use.

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 19

10TH AUGUST, 2023

459

The Employer (1) stated that the Comptroller and

Auditor General of India then recommended the

closure of the Corporation. The Employer (1) stated

that due to the above reasons, the Government of

Goa also therefore took a decision to wind up the

Employer (1) Corporation and transfer the housing

schemes undertaken by them to Employer (2) along

with the Assets and the Liabilities. The Employer (1)

stated that the Government further decided to

retrench the existing staff of the Corporation by

passing the retrenchment benefits under the

provisions of Section 25P of the Industrial Disputes

Act, 1947 i.e. by giving one month notice wage in

lieu of notice and payment of 45 days compensation

(Basic+DA) for every years of continuous service. The

Employer (1) stated that in addition to retrenchment

compensation, the employees got the other benefits

as per their admissibility. The Employer (1) stated

that on 01-03-2004 by deed of transfer, all the assets

and liabilities of the Employer (1) Corporation were

transferred to the Employer (2) without any liability

of the employees. The Employer (1) stated that in deed

of transfer executed between themselves and the

Employer (2) clearly stated that the Employer (2) shall

not be liable for any liabilities towards any claim of

any retrenched employees to absorb in Employer (2).

The Employer (1) stated that thus the retrenched staff

has no right to claim absorption in Employer (2). The

Employer (1) stated that the it has been duly wound

up as per the decision of the Government. The

Employer (1) stated that the termination is done as

per the law and the Union are paid one month salary

and retrenchment benefits and therefore the Union

are not entitled to raise any dispute. The Employer (1)

stated that though Employer (2) is a statutory body

and it has its own strength of employees and rules

and regulations. The Employer (1) stated that there

are no vacancy in Employer (2) and the Union cannot

claim any right to employ them in Employer (2). The

Employer (1) stated that the retrenchment compensation

was paid by them when it was existing. The Employer (1)

stated that the land belonging to them was not at all

developed and activities were not carried out. The

Employer therefore prayed that the reference be

rejected.

4. The Employer (2) also resisted the claim of the

Union by filing its reply dated 30-03-2011 at Exb. 35.

The Employer (2) as and by way of its reply, submitted

that the present proceedings are not maintainable

as the Workmen who are agitating before this Hon’ble

Tribunal have been duly retrenched on payment of

one month’s salary after having obtained the approval

of the Government. The Employer (2) submitted that

the Workmen have not protested whilst being

relieved but have accepted their retrenchment,

hence the present proceedings cannot entertain. The

Employer (2) submitted that the Employer (1) was a

Government owned Corporation which was suffering

heavy losses and has therefore been wound up by

the Government and its assets and liabilities of

payments have been transferred to them. The

Employer (2) submitted that the liabilities towards

any employees of the Employer (1) have not been

taken over by them and hence the Workmen cannot

make any claims either against them or against the

Employer (1) which is no longer in existence. The

Employer (2) therefore submitted that the reference

is liable to be rejected.

5. The Employer (2) stated that the Employer (1)

was established under the Companies Act, 1956 on

30-09-1993 by the Government of Goa with the main

objective of undertaking housing improvement,

building schemes and other allied activities. The

Employer (2) stated that the Board of Directors of the

Employer (1) was appointed by the Government from

time to time. The Employer (1) stated that after the

Employer (1) was established, it began incurring

losses continuously since 1995-96. The Employer (2)

stated that the Employer (1) was not able to utilize

its assets and fell short in achieving its objectives for

which purpose it had been created. The Employer (2)

stated that the funds allotted to the Employer (1) for

construction of low income group houses by the

Planning Commission were utilized for some other

purposes like construction of high income group flats

and no initiatives were taken by the officials of the

Employer (1) and/or the Board of Directors of the

Employer (1) to sell the flats or utilize the land in

their possession to develop and sell the same. The

Employer (2) stated that there was constant refrain

to lack of funds on account of the fixed assets not

being put to proper use. The Employer (2) stated that

the Comptroller and Auditor General of India then

recommended the closure of the Employer (1). The

Employer (2) stated that due to above reasons, the

Government of Goa also therefore took a decision to

wind up the Employer (1) Corporation and transfer

the housing scheme undertaken by the Employer (1)

Corporation to them along with the assets and liabilities.

The Employer (2) stated that the Government further

decided to retrench the existing staff of the Employer

(1) Corporation by paying them the retrenchment

benefits under the provisions of Section 25 P of the

I.D. Act, 1947, i.e. by paying one month’s wages in

lieu of notice and payment of 45 days compensation

(Basic+DA) for every year of continuous service. The

Employer (2) stated that in addition to the

retrenchment compensation, the employees also

received the other benefits as per their admissibility.

The Employer (2) stated that on 01-03-2004, by deed

460

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 19

10TH AUGUST, 2023

of transfer, all the assets and liabilities of the

Employer (1) Corporation were transferred to them

without any liability to the employees. The Employer

(2) stated that in the deed of transfer executed

between the Employer (1) and themselves it has been

clearly stated that the Employer (1) Corporation shall

not be liable for any liabilities towards any claims of

any retrenched employee to be absorbed in

themselves. The Employer (2) stated that thus the

retrenched employees have no right to claim

absorption in themselves. The Employer (2) stated

that once the retrenchment has been undertaken by

the Government of Goa, the retrenched Workmen are

not entitled to reinstatement. The Employer (2)

submitted that the Employer (1) has been duly wound

up as per the decision of the Government. The

Employer (2) submitted that the termination has been

done as per the law and the Workmen have been

paid one month’s salary as well as retrenchment

benefits. The Employer (2) submitted that the

Workmen are therefore are not entitled to raise any

dispute now. The Employer (2) submitted that the

Employer (2) is a statutory body and has own strength

of employees as well as its own rules and regulations.

The Employer (2) submitted that there are no

vacancies in their board and the Workmen cannot

claim any right to be employed in the Employer (2)

therefore prayed that the reference be liable to be

rejected.

6. Thereafter, the Union filed their Rejoinder to

the Written Statement of the Employer (1) on

11-08-2008 at Exb. 21. The Union, as and by way of its

Rejoinder, submitted that the Written Statement

dated 30-05-2008 is illegal and unauthorized being

filed by person/organization which is not a Party to

the dispute and hence the said written statement

may kindly be struck off the record and the matter be

proceeded ex-parte against the Employer (1). The

Union denied the overall case as pleaded in the

written statement of the Employer (1). The Union

submitted that the alleged deed of transfer dated

01-03-2004 or its alleged contents are not admitted.

7. The Union also filed their Rejoinder on 05-05-2011

at Exb. 36, to the Written Statement of the Employer (2).

The Union, as and by way of its Rejoinder, submitted

that maintains, reiterates, repeats and confirm all the

averments made in their Statement of Claim and

anything contrary thereto or in consistent therewith

which may be contained in the Written Statement.

The Union stated that any such alleged agreement

or understanding between the Employer (1)

Corporation and the Employer (2) is contrary to law,

illegal, unjustified and in any case not binding on

the Workmen or on the Union.

8. Based on the pleadings filed by the parties

herein above, this Hon’ble Court was pleased to

frame the following issues:

1) Whether the Party-I/Workmen proves that the

action of the Party-II/Employer in retrenching

the 14 Union in the order of reference illegal

and unjustified?

2) Whether the Party-I/Workmen proves that the

Employer is an existing legal entity?

3) Whether the Party-II proves that the present

order of reference is not maintainable as

alleged in para 1 of their reply?

3A) Whether Employer (2) proves that Employer

(1) has been wound up and the agreement of

transfer executed states that there is no

liability on Employer (2) to accommodate any

of the employees of Employer (1)?

4) Whether the Party-I is entitled to any relief?

5) What Award?

9. My answers to the aforesaid issues are as under:

1) Issue No. 1

In the negative.

2) Issue No. 2

In the negative.

3) Issue No. 3

In the affirmative.

4) Issue No. 3A

In the affirmative.

5) Issue No. 4 & 5

As per final order.

REASONS

10. Issue No. 1 & 3:

I am deciding the Issue No. 1 & 3 simultaneously

as both the said issues are co-related to each other.

Both the Employer, in its reply filed in the present

proceeding, submitted that as the Workmen have

been duly retrenched after obtaining approval of

Government on payment of one month salary. Burden

was cast on the Party-I Union to prove the Issue No. 1.

11. The term “retrenchment” has been defined

u/s 2 (OO) of the I.D. Act, 1947. Section 25 (FFF)

provides for compensation to the Workmen in case of

closing down of undertaking and it reads as under:

Section 25FFF—Compensation to the Union in

case of closing down of undertakings—

(1) Where an undertaking is closed down for any

reason whatsoever, every Workmen who has

been in continuous service for not less than

one year in that undertaking immediately

before such closure shall, subject to the

provisions of sub-section (2), be entitled to

notice and compensation in accordance with

the provisions of Section 25-F, as if the

Workmen had been retrenched.

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 19

10TH AUGUST, 2023

461

Provided that where the undertaking is closed

down on account of unavoidable circumstances

beyond the control of the Employer, the compensation

to be paid to the Workmen under Clause (b) of Section

25F, shall not exceed his average pay for three months.

12. Similarly Section 25F of the I.D. Act provides

for condition precedent for a valid retrenchment of

the Workmen and it reads as under:

Section 25F— No Workmen employed in any

industry who has been in continuous service for not

less than one year under an Employer shall be

retrenched by that Employer until—

(a) The Workmen has been given one month’s

notice in writing indicating the reasons for

retrenchment and the period of notice has

expired, or the Workmen has been paid in

lieu of such notice, wages for the period of

the notice.

(b) The Workmen has been paid, at the time of

retrenchment, compensation which shall be

equivalent to fifteen days average pay (for

every completed year of continuous service)

or any part thereof in excess of six months

and

(c) Notice in the prescribed manner is served

on the appropriate Government (or such

authority as may be specified by the

appropriate Government by notification in

the Official Gazette).

13. Thus, Section 25 F of the I.D. Act, is mandatory

for the retrenchment of any of the Workmen. In the

present matter the burden was put on the Union to

prove that the retrenchment of all 14 Workmen named

in the order of reference is illegal and unjustified.

The Workmen however failed to prove the present

issue. Neither the Workmen/Union pleaded nor

supported by any material evidence that they have

not been paid the retrenchment compensation as

well as one month notice or one month pay in lieu of

notice. The Workmen/Union failed to state the

reasons for invalidity of their retrenchment. The

evidence on record indicates that all the retrenched

Workmen were duly paid retrenchment benefits in

terms of Section 25 F of the I.D. Act, 1947 by Employer

(1). The evidence on record indicates that the financial

books of the Corporation for the last 5 years have

consistently shown losses and therefore the

Government of Goa compelled to wind up the

Corporation. It is therefore held that the Workmen

failed to prove that the action of the Employer (1) in

retrenching its 14 Workmen named in the order of

reference is illegal and unjustified. It is further held

that the order of reference is not maintainable in view

of the reasons stated in para 1 of the reply. The Issue

No. 1 is answered in the negative and the issue No. 3

is answered in the affirmative.

14. Issue No. 2:

The burden was put on the Workmen/Union to

prove that the Employer is an existing legal entity.

The Workmen/Union has however failed to prove that

the Employer is an existing body. The evidence on

record indicates that the Employer Corporation has

been wound up pursuant to the order/decision of

the Government of Goa as the Corporation was facing

heavy losses. It is therefore held that the Workmen

failed to prove that the Employer Corporation is an

existing legal entity. Issue No. 2 is therefore answered

in the negative.

15. Issue No. 3 (A):

It is admitted that the order dated 06-04-2002

wherein the decision of winding up of the Employer/

/Corporation was conveyed to its Managing Director.

The sole witness of the Workmen, Shri Deepak Varty

acknowledge and admits of being aware of the deed

of transfer was executed with due approval of the

Government of Goa. The said witness of the Workmen

admitted that the Government has given permission

for winding up of the Goa Construction Housing and

Finance Corporation. In terms of Clause 5 of deed of

transfer, it is stated that the service of 14 employees

have been retrenched by paying compensation and

Employer (2) shall not be liable for any liability

towards any claim of any employees to absorb this

employees in Goa Housing Board. The sole witness

of the Workmen admitted that the aforesaid Clause 5

of the deed of transfer has not been challenged and

as such deed of transfer has attained finality. Hence

it is held that the Employer (2) proved that the

Employer (1) has been wound up and the agreement

of transfer executed states that there is no liability

on the Employer (2) to accommodate any of the

employees of the Employer (1). The issue No. 3 is

therefore answered in the affirmative.

16. Issue No. 4:

While deciding the issue No. 1, I have discussed

and held that the Workmen failed to prove that the

action of the Employer in retrenching its 14 Workmen

named in the order of reference is illegal and

unjustified. The Workmen are not entitled to any

relief, the issue No. 4 is therefore answered in the

negative.

462

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

In view of above I pass the following order.

By Order dated 25-06-2021, bearing No. 28/10/

/2021-LAB/297, the Government of Goa in exercise

of powers conferred by Section 10(1)(d) of the

Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, has referred the

following dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication:-

“(1) Whether non-employment of Shri Yogesh

Soundalkar, Technician, with effect from

22-06-2020 in the organization of M/s. Muktar

Automobiles Private Limited, Plot No. I-128,

Phase III-B, Verna Industrial Estate, Verna-Goa,

(2) Based upon the findings on issue No. (1)

above, what relief the workman is entitled to?”

2. Notices were issued to the Parties. The Party I

appeared and filed its Statement of Claim. Party II

failed to appear and has been placed ex-parte.

3. The case of the Party I is that Party II appointed

the workman (Yogesh Soundalkar) as a Technician

on 12-09-2013. That, thereafter, there was no raise in

wages. That there were security issues and lack of

facilities like leave and proper working hours. That

there was also non-payment of bonus. That by letter

dated 05-03-2020, the Workman asked Party II to

relieve him from service. That, Party II did not relieve

the Workman from service. That Party II asked the

Workman to continue his services. That Party II told

the Workman that he would be paid enhanced

wages and other allowances. That the Workman

decided to continue his service with Party II. That

the Workman was not aware that he was required

to withdraw his resignation letter. That in the

meantime, the Government of India declared a lock-

down to contain the spread of Corona cases. That

eventually due to relaxation in restrictions, Party II

called the Workman for duty w.e.f. 08-06-2020. That

the Workman joined duty on 08-06-2020. That the

Workman worked in the Body Shop Department from

08-06-2020 to 20-06-2020 on enhanced wages and

allowances.

4. That on 07-06-2020 the workers of Party II held

a meeting and decided to form a Union. That Shri

Yogesh Soundalkar (Workman) was made the

President of the local committee of the Union. That

Party II was informed about the unionization by

letter dated 12-06-2020. That Party II started

harassing the members of the Union. That Party II

started pressurizing the members to resign from the

Union. That some of the members resigned from the

Union. That on 20-06-2020 Mr. Suraj Borkar (HR),

Mr. Balkrishna Kamat (GM) and Mr. Vijay Dhuri

(Manager) called the Workman to their cabin and

told him that he would be relieved from service if

he does not resign from the Union. That the

Workman refused to do so. That the Workman was

therefore refused employment w.e.f. 22-06-2020. That

the Workman was not given any letter stating that

his resignation has been accepted or that his

services were terminated.

5. That by letter dated 24-06-2020, the Workman

asked Party II to allow him to join duty. That Party II

neither allowed the Workman to join his duties nor

did it reply to the letter. That Party II did not follow

the principles of natural justice and give the

Workman an opportunity to be heard.

6. That the Union (Party I) sought the intervention

of the Dy. Labour Commissioner, Government of Goa,

Margao, Salcete-Goa. That the conciliation

proceedings started. That, for the first time, Party II

informed the Conciliation Officer that the

Resignation Letter of the Workman was accepted

w.e.f. 04-04-2020. That thereafter, Party II did not

appear for any discussion before the Conciliation

Officer and the conciliation ended in failure.

Therefore, it is prayed that an Award be passed

directing Party II to reinstate the Workman with full

back wages and other consequential benefits.

7. As seen above, Party II has not appeared or

filed its Written Statement. Party II has been placed

ex-parte.

REASONS

10. Point No. (i) and (ii):- Party I states that Party II

refused employment to Yogesh Soundalkar. The

Order of Reference also mandates this Court to

ascertain, if Yogesh Soundalkar has voluntarily

resigned from service.

11. Party I has examined Shri Yogesh Soundalkar

as Witness No. 1 for Party I. He is the Workman who

has been allegedly refused employment.

deposes that, thereafter, there was no rise in wages.

He deposes that there were security issues and lack

of facilities like leave and proper working hours. He

deposes that there was also non-payment of bonus.

He deposes that by letter dated 05-03-2020 he asked

Party II did not relieve him from service and asked

him to continue his service with Party II. He deposes

that Party II told him that he would be paid

enhanced wages and other allowances. He deposes

that he decided to continue his service with Party II.

He deposes that he did not know that he had to

withdraw his resignation letter. In the meanwhile,

the Government of India decided to declare a

lock-down to contain the spread of Corona cases.

He deposes that eventually due to relaxation in

restrictions, Party II called him for duty w.e.f.

08-06-2020. He deposes that from 08-06-2020 to

20-06-2020 he worked in the Body Shop Department

on enhanced wages. He deposes that on 07-06-2020,

the workers of Party II held a meeting and decided

to form a Union. He deposes that Party II was

informed about the formation of the Union by letter

dated 12-06-2020. He deposes that he was made the

President of the Local Committee of the Union. He

deposes that Party II started harassing the members

of the Union. He deposes that Party II started

Mr. Balkrishna Kamat (GM) and Mr. Vijay Dhuri

(Manager) called him to the chamber and told him

that he would be relieved from his service if he does

not resign from the Union. He deposes that he

refused to do so. He deposes that he was, therefore,

refused employment w.e.f. 22-06-2020. He deposes

that he was not given any letter stating that his

resignation has been accepted or that his services

were terminated. He deposes that by letter dated

24-06-2020 he asked Party II to allow him to join

to join duties nor did it reply to the said letter. He

deposes that Party II did not follow the principles of

natural justice and give him an opportunity to be

heard. He deposes that the Union (Party I) sought

the

intervention

the

Deputy

Labour

Commissioner, Margao. He deposes that conciliation

proceedings started. He deposes that for the first

time Party II informed the Conciliation Officer that

his resignation was accepted w.e.f. 04-04-2020. He

deposes that this is not true as he was asked to

report for work from 08-06-2020.

13. Copy of Report of Failure of conciliation

proceedings is at Exhibit 11. Copy of minutes of

conciliation proceedings is at Exhibit 12. Copy of

letter dated 05-03-2020 sent by the Workman to

Manager of Party II is at Exhibit 16. Copy of letter

dated 24-06-2020 to the Managing Director of Party II

by the Workman is at Exhibit 17. Copy of letter

dated 13-07-2020 by the President of the Goa Union

of Industrial Workers to the Managing Director of

Party II is at Exhibit 18.

14. The evidence adduced by Party I has gone

unchallenged. Therefore, Party I has proved its case.

Party I has proved that non-employment of Yogesh

Soundalkar amounts to refusal of employment. Party II

has not adduced evidence to show that the

workman has voluntarily resigned from service,

Therefore, Yogesh Soundalkar has not voluntarily

resigned from service. Hence, I hold point of

determination No. 1 in the affirmative and point of

determinatron No. 2 in the negative.

15. The Workman has neither pleaded or adduced

evidence to show that he was unemployed since

the date of refusal of employment. Hence, he is not

entitled to back wages. He is only entitled to

reinstatement with continuity in service.

Hence, I pass the following:-

ORDER

(i) Party II is directed to reinstate the

Workman namely Shri Yogesh Soundalkar

with continuity of service.

(ii) No order as to cost.

(iii) Inform the Government accordingly.
