Rejoinder.
3. During the course of the proceeding, Party II(2)
was impleaded. Party II(2) has not filed any Written
Statement.
4. The case of Party I is that there are two Unions
in the establishment of Party II (1). That the majority
Union is affiliated to the CITU. That Party I is the
minority Union. That Party II (1) claims to be
undergoing losses and claims that it is unable to pay
its workmen. That, with regard to the same,
2 meetings were held on 03-04-2013 and 25-05-2013.
That the Minutes of these meetings were made in a
false and frivolous manner. That it was signed only
by the Managing Director of Party II (1).
5. That another meeting was fixed on 06-06-2013.
That Party I did not attend this meeting as the
Minutes of the previous meetings were made in a
false and frivolous manner. That, therefore, a meeting
was fixed for Party I on 07-06-2013. That the
Managing Director of Party II(1) did not attend the
meeting. That the meeting was attended by the
Manager (H.R.) of Party II(1). That, thereafter, Minutes
of the meeting purportedly held on 06-06-2013 was
served on Party I. That, Party I objected to the same
by letter dated 10-06-2013. That on 14-06-2013, the
workers came to the Factory and they found the gates
closed. That they found a notice dated 13-06-2013
pasted on the Main Gate. That, subsequently, a copy
of the said notice was also handed over to the
President of Party I. That the notice asked the workers
not to attend work from 14-06-2013. That, party I
protested against the said notice by letter dated
14-06-2013. That by this letter, Party I stated that
Party II(1) has locked out the workers without
following the due process of law. It was also pointed
out that lock-out, lay-off or closure cannot be declared
either with the majority Union or the minority Union.
That Party II(1) has not complied with the provisions
of Chapter V-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
That the action taken by Party II(1) in stopping
operations is illegal and bad-in-law. That the 20
members of Party I are suffering forced
unemployment from 14-06-2013. That members of
Party I had not agreed to take two months leave
without pay or any other form of monetary benefit.
That each of the workmen are offering themselves
for employment before Party II(1) every day from
14-06-2013. That Party II(1) has not declared lay-off or
closure of establishment. Therefore, it is prayed that
an Award be passed holding the action of Party II(1)
in suspending the operation of their work at their
establishment from 14-06-2013 to this day without
following the provisions of Chapter V-B of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and without declaring
lay-off or closure to its establishment, is illegal,
unjustified and bad in law. That all the workmen in
this dispute be held to be entitled to reinstatement
in service with full back wages and continuity in
service from 14-06-2013 and for cost and any other
relief.
6. The case of Party II(1) is that there is a Union in

Union (affiliated to the CITU). That this is a registered
Trade Union. This Union is hereinafter referred to as

Party II. That out of them, 96 employees are in the
Executive Cadre. That 116 employees are members
of the CITU Union. That the remaining 20 employees
are members of Party I. That due to non-grant of the
promised rebate by the Government of Goa during
its inception, high input cost, constant labour
problems and other related problems, the entire
networth of the Company got eroded by the year 1998.
7. That Party II(1) made a reference to the Board
for Industrial and Financial Reconstruction (BIFR).
That the BIFR declared Party II(1) a Sick Industrial
Unit by its Order dated 20-08-1999. That, consequently,

the Sick Industrial Companies (Special Provisions)
Act, 1985. That this Tribunal does not have the
jurisdiction to entertain the claim of Party I. That the
BIFR has sanctioned a scheme for the revival of
Party II(1) by its Order dated 21-11-2002. That all the
agencies except the Government of Goa has

the institutions and banks and implemented the
scheme. That the performance of Party II(1) improved
substantially and its net worth started turning
positive.
8. That the BIFR was monitoring the progress of
the implementation of the Scheme through its
Monitoring Agency (IFCI). That in the year 2008-2009,
due to the global economic recession, non-implementation
of the revival package by the Government of Goa and
non-availability of sufficient working capital, Party II
started incurring losses. That the prices of the raw
material and the selling price declined. That the
Electricity Department illegally levied arrears of
Rs. 87.84 Crores on account of delayed payment. That
for lack of funds, Party II(1) had to shut down the
Plant from 04-05-2013. That the CITU Union and the
Employees including the 20 workmen who were

developments in meetings dated 01-02-2013,
03-04-2013 and 25-05-2013. That thereafter, another
meeting was held on 06-06-2013. The CITU Union and

and the Union, that the Management would make a
final attempt to revive the Factory in two months
starting from 14-06-2013. That it was also agreed that
the employees would go on leave without pay during
these months. That the employees were allowed to
find gainful employment elsewhere with a guarantee
of continuity of service during the non-operational
period. That, subsequently, a notice dated 13-06-2013
to this effect was issued by Party II(1). That, thereafter,
in meetings dated 16-08-2013, 26-08-2013, 31-08-2013,
05-09-2013 and 17-09-2013, the CITU Union and other

members of Party I were informed of the condition of
Party II(1) and associated circumstances. That, upon
the orders of the BIFR, Party II(1) submitted a Modified
Draft Rehabilitation Scheme to IFCI (OA) on 06-12-2013.
That meetings were held with the CITU Union and
other employees on 16-12-2013 and 25-02-2014. That
in the month of April, 2014, Party I paid a sum of
Rs. 5,000/- to each of the workmen from the sale of
surplus items. That the workmen were not paid for
the past 2 years for want of funds. That Party II(1) is
making efforts to revive and restart the Factory. That,
due to the delay in decision on the part of the

employment to any of its employees. That Party I had
refused to attend meetings together with the CITU
Union. That Party II(1) used to apprise the 20 members
of Party I as to what had transpired during the

were falsely recorded. That the Management had
called for a meeting on 06-06-2013 at about 11.00 a.m.
requesting the CITU Union and all other employees
to remain present. That the CITU Union attended the
meeting. That since the 20 members of Party I refused
to attend the meeting along with the CITU Union, all
the above 20 workmen were called for a separate
meeting at 3.30 p.m. on 06-06-2013. That they were

employees. That a copy of the Minutes of the meeting

573
Minutes of meeting purportedly held on 06-06-2013,
Party I protested to Party II(1) by their letter dated
10-06-2013. That Party II(1) had sent letter dated
27-07-2014 to the Dy. Labour Commissioner (Margao)
with a copy to the President of Party I. It is denied
that Party II(1) has forced a lock-out on the workmen
by notice dated 13-06-2013 without following the due
process of law. It is denied that Party II(1) has forced
unemployment on the workmen from 14-06-2013. That
Party II(1) is not at liberty to close down the Factory
since the BIFR has asked Party II(1) to revive the
Company. Party II(1) denies that they have breached
the mandatory provisions of law. Therefore, it is
prayed that (the claim of Party I be disallowed).
12. Party I has filed its Rejoinder. Party I denied that

that this Tribunal lacks the jurisdiction to adjudicate
on this reference by virtue of the provisions of
Section 22(1) of the Sick Industrial Companies
(Special Provisions) Act, 1985.
13. It is denied that Party II(1) implemented the

during 2003 to 2008, the Company’s performance
improved and the net worth started turning positive.
It is denied that the BIFR was constantly monitoring
the progress of the implementation of the sanctioned

towards the Provident Fund was paid in the year 2014
by selling raw material lying in the Factory yard. That
Party I is in no way connected with what has been
agreed between the CITU Union and Party II(1). That

574
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 23
7TH SEPTEMBER, 2023
REASONS
9. Issue No. 1, 2 and 3: Issue No. 1, 2 and 3 are
interconnected and they require the same evidence
to be proved.
10. The case of Party I is that Party II has
suspended their operation of work with effect from
14-06-2013 without following the provisions of
Chapter V-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and/
/or declaring lay-off or closure of its establishment.
That such suspension of operation is illegal and bad-
in-law. That every worker is entitled to be paid full
wages from 14-06-2013 till the matter is legally settled
and/or employment of Party I are legally terminated
in accordance with the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
11. There is no dispute that Party II(1) has suspended
their operation of work in their establishment from
14-06-2013.
12. Party I has examined Shri Anthony F. Dias as
witness I for Party I.
13. Witness I for Party I deposes that workmen
came to report for duties on 14th June, 2013 in the
morning. He deposes that they found the gates of
the Factory locked. He deposes that a copy of notice
dated 13-06-2013 was pasted on it. He deposes that
the notice asked all workers not to attend to work
from 14-06-2013.
14. Notice dated 13-06-2013 is at Exh. 13. It states
that as Party II(1) is unable to pay salaries, workmen
are advised not to attend work for two months from
14-06-2013.
15. It is not disputed that the establishment
(Factory) has not re-opened thereafter.
16. Witness I for Party I deposes that the
operations were suspended without following the
provisions of Chapter V-B of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947 or declaring lay-off or closure of the
establishment.
17. Witness I for Party I has not been cross-
examined. Party II(1) has not adduced any evidence.
The evidence adduced by Party I has gone
uncontested.
18. Therefore, Party I has proved that Party II(1)
suspended operation of work from 14-06-2013
without following the provisions of Chapter V-B of
the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and/or declaring
lay-off or closure of its establishment. Party I has
proved that such suspension of operation is illegal
and unjustified. Party I has proved every workman is
entitled to be paid full wages from 14-06-2013 till the
matter is legally settled and/or employment of Party
I are legally terminated in accordance with the
provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Hence,
I hold Issues No. 1, 2 and 3 in the affirmative.
19. Issue No. 4: The case of Party II(1) is that this
Tribunal has no jurisdiction to try the reference as it
is barred under Section 22 of the Sick Industrial
Companies (Special Provisions) Act, 1985.
20. The burden of proving this issue is of
Party II(1). Party II(1) has not adduced any evidence.
It has not produced in evidence the order declaring
Party II(1) as a Sick Industrial Unit. Therefore,
Party II(1) has failed to prove that this Tribunal has
no jurisdiction to try this case as it is barred under
Section 22 of the Sick Industrial Companies (Special
Provisions) Act, 1985. Hence, I hold Issue No. 4 in the
negative.
21.Issue No. 5: During the course of proceedings,
an application was made stating that Party II (1) is
being wound up and Shri Pravin R. Navandar has
been appointed as the Liquidator. It was prayed that
the Liquidator be appointed as a Party. The
application was granted after due service of notice
on the Liquidator and the Liquidator was made
Party II(2) .
22.Thereafter, the Liquidator did not file any
Written Statement. Party I and Party II(1) have not
amended their pleading to state that Party II(1) is
being wound up and a Liquidator has been
appointed. No evidence has been adduced to show
that Party II (1) is being wound up and a Liquidator
has been appointed. Without pleadings and
evidence, this Tribunal cannot come to the
conclusion that Party II(1) is being wound up and a
Liquidator has been appointed.
23.In this case, unemployment has been forced
upon the 20 workmen from 14-06-2013. They must be
reinstated and given back wages and continuity of
service from 14-06-2013. Issue No. 5 is decided
accordingly.
Hence I pass the following:-
ORDER
(i) The 20 workmen who are the subject matter
of the reference are ordered to be reinstated
with full back wages and with continuity of
service from 14-06-2013.
(ii) No orders as to costs.
(iii) Inform Government accordingly.

from services, he made a representation to the
Employer requesting for withdrawal of dismissal
order and allow him to resume the duties. He stated
that he was however not allowed to join the duties
and hence through his union, vide union’s letter
dt. 28-09-2014, he raised an industrial dispute before
the Dy. Labour Commissioner which ended in
failure.
3. He contended that the dismissal order was
signed by the Managing Director as he was the
Appellate Authority and on this count alone the
order of dismissal is illegal, unjustified and bad in
law. He submitted that the action of his dismissal
is illegal as the Employer has not followed the
principles of natural justice and it is given only to
victimize him for his trade union activities. He
submitted that the punishment of dismissal is
severe, harsh in nature and discriminatory. He
submitted that the charge-sheet was vague and
576
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 23
7TH SEPTEMBER, 2023
the charges levelled against him are not applicable
as the material in dispute was not belonging to the
Employer and belongs to the customer which was
a scrap material. He submitted that the action of
the Employer in dismissing him from service is
illegal, unjustified and bad in law. He submitted
that since his dismissal, he is unemployed and hence
he is entitled for full back wages. The Workman
therefore prayed that the action of the management
in dismissing him from service w.e.f. 18-09-2014 be
declared as illegal, unjustified and bad-in-law and
he be granted the relief of reinstatement with full
back wages, continuity in service along with
consequential benefits.
4. The Employer resisted the claim of the
Workman by filing its written statement on
04-01-2016 at Exb. 6. The Employer, as and by way
of its preliminary objections, submitted that the
present reference is not maintainable for want of
cause of any action. The Employer submitted that
the services of the Workman has been dismissed for
serious misconduct of theft after conducting a full
and fair enquiry in which the charge-sheeted
employee was given ample opportunity to defend
himself and principles of natural justice have been
fully complied with, that the delinquent employee
was afforded full opportunity of being heard and
defended in compliance of the principles of natural
justice, equity and fair play all throughout the
enquiry and the findings of the Enquiry Officer is
well reasoned and is entirely based on documentary
and oral evidence on record, that, considering the
proved serious misconduct of committing theft, the
company has lost confidence in the said Workman
and in any event, the services of the said Workman
may not be foisted on the company, that, on many
other grounds and for manifold other reasons also,
the pending reference is bad in law ab-intio,
untenable, incompetent and as such not maintainable
at law and hence the pending reference is liable to
be and ought to be rejected in limine with cost.
5. The Employer stated that it is a private limited
company, engaged in the business of dealership for
Maruti and Swaraj Mazda vehicles. The Employer
stated that it is having various workshops and

No. 144/2013 was registered in Maina Curtorim
Police Station and the Workman was arrested and
released on bail. The Employer stated that it being
in a service industry, has to deal with customers in
normal course of business. The Employer stated
that as the misconduct of theft amount was a serious
misconduct and amounted to employment
misconduct. The Employer stated that the Workman
having involved in said act badly affected the
reputation in the said business and the said act
also grossly undermined the discipline of the
establishment. The Employer stated that the
Workman was suspended pending enquiry as his
presence was detrimental to its functioning. The
Employer stated that they have issued a charge-
sheet dt. 10-10-2013 for serious misconduct and acts

present during the enquiry right from the first day
i.e. on and from 23-10-2013. The Employer stated

his Defence Representative of his choice and one
Mr. Puti Gaonkar, General Secretary of Gomantak
Mazdoor Sangh was appointed by him as his Defence
Representative. The Employer stated that a full
fledged enquiry was held against the Workman in
respect of the charge-sheet dt. 10-10-2013 from
time to time by an independent Inquiry Officer. The

reasonable orders of superiors (b) theft, fraud,

Workman to submit his representation on the said
findings of the Inquiry Officer. The Employer stated
that the Workman, vide his letter dt. 15-09-2014,
submitted his representation. The Employer stated
that, thereafter, its disciplinary authority on a
careful perusal and consideration of proceedings of
enquiry along with exhibits thereon and other
relevant material on record as also the report and
finding of Ld. Inquiry Officer, they found no good
reason to differ with the findings of the Ld. Inquiry
Officer and that the Employer concurred with the
findings of the Ld. Enquiry Officer and accepted
the same. The Employer stated that its punishing
authority also took into consideration the gravity of
the misconduct committed by and proved against
the Workman in the enquiry and also look into and
consider the past record of service of the Workman
and found no extenuating circumstances and
proceeded to award the ultimate punishment of
dismissal. The Employer stated that the dismissal
order dt. 18-09-2014 served on the Workman is just,
legal, bonafide and enforceable at law. The
Employer stated that if this Hon’ble Court comes to
the conclusion that the enquiry is not fair or proper
or that the findings are perverse or that the
dismissal order is vitiated for any reason whatsoever
(there is no warrant for this Hon’ble court to come
to such a conclusion) then they may be permitted
to lead fresh evidence and prove the misconduct
before this Hon’ble Court. The Employer stated that
during the relevant time, the union namely
Gomantak Mazdoor Sangh had raised few Charter
of Demand before the Asst. Labour Commissioner.
The Employer stated that the Asst. Labour
Commissioner had called both the parties for
conciliation in respect of the said Charter of
Demand which resulted in failure and the matter
was referred to the Hon’ble Industrial Tribunal at
Goa for adjudication vide reference No. IT/29/2009.
