co-staffs in the room where the recent incident of
death of above staff Mr. Tari had occured. She stated
that she being a female staff, requested the
management that she was scared to work in that
lonely place. She stated that the Employer did not
consider her request and thereafter blocked her
attendance swapping card where the door of the
office which opens only on swapping the card on
21-02-2015 and on 23-02-2015 restrained her from
entering the office by the deploying special lady
security. She stated that per the procedure followed
for marking presence, she continuously recorded
her attendance from 27-01-2015 till Saturday
14-02-2015 but the management did not paid the
salary for that period. She stated that thereafter, she
was on leave on account of sickness, stress and
tension. She stated that she rejoined her duties on
Saturday 21-02-2015 by recording the attendance
on the said machine however she did not know if
her attendance was recorded on the said machine.
She stated that when she came to office on Monday
i.e. 23-02-2015, her entry was denied into the office
by deploying special female security. She stated
that thereafter she could not record her attendance
nor she was allowed to meet the management by
the security personnel.
5. She stated that she was suspended without
giving any show cause notice or opportunity of
being heard. She stated that she was issued a
charge-sheet dated 20-02-2015 for making false
allegation which are very ambiguous and are the
base of unfair labour practice. She stated that the
Employer made total baseless allegation and
intentionally suspended her service on false
ground. She stated that she replied to the charge-
sheet by her reply dated 02-03-2015 but the
management simply refused to accept the
clarifications out sighting the reason vide letter
dated 16-03-2015.
6. She stated that after replying to the false
charge sheet, the Employer commenced the enquiry
proceedings against her by appointing Mr. A.M.
Gaikwad as Inquiry Officer. She stated that said
Mr. A.M. Gaikwad was a former employee of the
same Employer group of companies. She stated that
the enquiry conducted by said Mr. A.M. Gaikwad
was in a biased manner without following the due
procedure of law only to favour the Employer
thereby denying justice to her. She stated that she
was also not given a proper opportunity in the
enquiry to defend herself and the evidence was
recorded as per the whims of the Inquiry Officer.
She stated that the Ld. Enquiry Officer has
conducted the said enquiry in gross violation of the
principles of natural justice. She stated that Ld.
Inquiry Officer has not properly recorded the cross
examination of the Employer’s witnesses and that
the cross examination has been recorded in question
answer format with oblique motive to conceal the
true facts. She stated that the said enquiry was
decided against her. She stated that the enquiry is
perverse and no proper reason has been given to
conclude the allegations which has been framed in
the charge-sheet against her. She stated that the
Ld. Inquiry Officer has ignored/overlooked all the
evidence in her favour. She stated that the enquiry
conducted by the Employer is biased and in
violation of the principles of natural justice. She
submitted that the management had acted
maliciously and vindictively in terminating her
services. She stated that there is no acceptable
evidence to terminate her services and therefore
the dismissal is illegal. She stated that as the
Employer did not reinstate her in service, she raised
an industrial dispute before the Asst. Labour
Commissioner Panaji which ended in failure. She
stated that the action of the Employer in refusing
her entry in the office w.e.f. 23-02-2015 is illegal
unjust and malafide. She stated that the refusal of
employment w.e.f. 30-09-2015 is illegal and unfair
labour practice.
7. She stated that the findings of the Inquiry
Officer are perverse and liable to be set aside. She
stated that she was issued order of dismissal on
30-09-2015. She stated that she was also not paid
last month’s subsistence allowance as per the law,
which shows that the management has conducted
the enquiry one sided. She stated that based upon
false and arbitrary enquiry report, the Workperson
was issued showcause notice dated 14-09-2015
which was replied by her on 22-09-2015. She stated
that the showcause notice which was issued, should
have been given to her before suspending from the
service. She stated that before denying the entry
from the service from 23-02-2015, no opportunity or
explanation was asked from her. She stated that the
Employer terminated her services on 30-09-2015 by
illegal and arbitrary manner. Without prejudice, she
stated that the enquiry conducted against her did
not prove any allegations made in the charge sheet
dated 20-02-2015. She submitted that the
punishment of termination imposed upon her is
shockingly disproportionate. She stated that the
amount sent to her as full and final settlement of
dues in form of cheques is disputed and the said
cheque have been returned back to the Employer.
She stated that she was subjected to firstly

demotion and thereafter illegal termination by way
of victimization. She stated that the termination of
her service is illegal and she is required to be
reinstated in service with continuity and all other
monetary benefitsas well as pending promotional
avenues.

she could not succeed in getting any job and that
she is unemployed from the date of termination till
date. The Workperson therefore prayed that the
action of the Employer in terminating her services

continuity in service and consequential benefits
thereof.

5) Issue No. 5 & 6: As per final order.
I have heard the oral argument of the Workperson

Ld. Adv. Shri P. J. Kamat representing the Employer.
19. Ld. Adv. Shri Gauthankar appearing for the
Workperson submitted that by order dated
06-06-2023 passed in the findings on the preliminary
issues No. 1 and No. 2 this Hon’ble Court held that

Workperson in respect of charge-sheet dated
20-2-2015 in accordance with the principles of
natural justice and that except the charge of
disorderly behaviour during working hours at the
establishment or acts subversive of discipline as
well as --------- which of any law applicable to the
establishment, the remaining charges of willful
insubordination or disobedience or any lawful of
reasonable order of the superior and refusal to
accept any order or notice communicated in writing
have been proved to the satisfaction of this court by
acceptable evidence. He submitted that M/s. V. S.
Dempo Holdings Pvt. Ltd. vide its letter dated
3-4-2014 (Exb. 20) informed her that they do not
required her services to work as Receptionist/
/EPABX Board counter and advised her to report

that she had failed to make compliance is reporting
the duty as directed and finally directed to report
for duty at dispatch Section of the Employer with
immediate effect failing which necessary
disciplinary action will be taken against her. He
submitted that action of the Employer is dismissing
the services of the Workperson amounts to
victimization and unfair labour practice. He
submitted that the action of the Employer in
terminating her services vide letter dated
30-9-2015 (Exb. 36) was by way of discharge from
their services with immediate effect. He submitted
that the punishment of discharging from services
imposed upon the Workperson is too severe and
highly disproportionate to the proved misconduct.
He submitted that the Workperson is unemployed
from the date of termination of her services till date.
He submitted that an Award be passed by setting
aside impugned order dated 30-9-2015 by which
services of the Workperson have been discharge

and consequential benefits thereof. In support of
his oral contention, he relied upon a judgment in
the case of Shri Sheo Shankar Ram V/s. Presiding
Officer, Labour Court of Hon’ble High Court of
Jharkhand reported in 2005 (3 JCR 241). He also
relied upon a judgment of Hon’ble Apex Court in

submitted that the Employer changed the
designation of the Workperson from Stenographer
to Sr. Receptionist-cum-Sr. Clerk-II. He submitted
that by order dated 06-06-2023 passed in the
findings on the preliminary issues No. 1 and No. 2,
this Hon’ble Court held that a free fair and proper
inquiry conducted against the Workperson in
respect of charge-sheet dated 20-2-2015 in

any law applicable to the establishment, the
remaining charges of willful insubordination or

misconduct, the past services of the Workperson is
blameworthy. He submitted that the Workperson
was issued a letter dt. 24-1-2015 (Exb. 60-Cross), by
the Employer. However, the Workperson refused to

Employer had issued a show cause notice to the
Workperson alleging that forty Equity Share
Certificate was found in her drawer which was
supposed to be handed over. He submitted that
vide letter dated 13-8-2002 (Exb. 55-Cross) she
replied to the Employer that she accepted her
negligence and requested for apology and further
requested not to take any disciplinary action

the Workperson that she was found guilty in the
inquiry held against her in the charge-sheet dated
26-8-2002 and that considering the gravity of
misconduct committed by her, the Employer was
justified in taking strict action against her including
the extreme punishment of dismissal from the
services and that since she had admitted her
mistake and assured that she would not repeat the
same in future and tendered and unconditional
apology, that it has been decided to give her a last
and final opportunity and to award her a lesser
punishment that of her dismissal by way of stern
warning. He submitted that vide letter dated
29-5-1998 (Exb. 72-Cross), the Employer had issued
a cautioned letter for her negligent. He submitted

submitted that taking into consideration the past
service record of the Workperson, the punishment
awarded to her is just, legal and bonafide. In support
of his oral submissions, he relied upon three
judgments of Hon’ble High Court of Bombay one in
the case of Shivaji A. More V/s State Manager,
Maharashtra reported in 1996 (72) FLR 447, second
of Sarabhai M Chemicals V/s. M. S. Ajmere and anr.
reported in 1980 (40) FLR 439 and thirdly in the
case of Thermex Ltd., Pune V/s. Vishwanath M.
Jadhav and ors. reported in 2009 I CLR 870. He also

the case of M/s. Pearlite liners Pvt. Ltd. V/s.
Manorama Sirsi, reported in 2004 II CLR 985. He
submitted that though the Workperson in her
Affidavit stated that she made various efforts to get
gainful employment but she was unable to get, has
not produced any such application made to any
establishment for job in support of her statement.
I have carefully perused the entire records of the
represent the case. I have also carefully considered
the submissions advanced before me.
REASONS
21. Issue No. 1: Vide Order dated 6-6-2023 passed
in my finding on the Preliminary Issue No. 1 &
No. 2, I have discussed and come to the conclusion
that a free, fair and proper enquiry has been
conducted against the Workperson in consonance
with the principles of natural justice. The Issue No. 1
is therefore answered in the Negative.
22. Issue No. 2: Vide Order dated 6-6-2023 passed
in my finding on the Preliminary Issue No. 1 and 2, I
have discussed and come to the conclusion that
except the charge of disorderly behavior during
working hours at the establishment or acts
subversive of discipline as well as ——-- which of
any law applicable to the establishment, the
remaining charges or willful insubordination or
disobedience or any lawful of reasonable order of
the superior and refusal to accept any order or
notice communicated in writing have been proved
to the satisfaction of this court by acceptable
evidence. The Issue No. 2 is therefore answered
partly in the affirmative and partly in the negative.
23. Issue No. 3 and 4: I decide the Issue No. 3 and
4 simultaneously as the both the said issues are
co-related to each other.
It appears from the pleadings filed by the
Workperson on record that the Workperson
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 45
8TH FEBRUARY, 2024
1099
challenged her order of discharge dated 30-9-2015
mainly on the ground of fairness of the inquiry,
proving the charges of the misconduct, victimization,
unfair labour practice and the punishment imposed
upon her is too severe and highly disproportionate.
24. I have already come to the conclusion that a
free, fair and proper enquiry has been conducted
against the Workperson in consonance with the
principles of natural justice and that except the
charge of disorderly behavior during working hours
at the establishment or acts subversive of discipline
as well as ——— which of any law applicable to the
establishment, the remaining charges of willful
insubordination or disobedience or any lawful of
reasonable order of the superior and refusal to
accept any order or notice communicated in writing
have been proved to the satisfaction of this court by
acceptable evidence.
25. The Workperson pleaded that her discharge
from service amounts to victimization and unfair
labour practice.
Unfair labour practice has been defined under
the V schedule of the I. D. Act, 1947.
5. To discharge or dismiss workmen—
(a) by way of victimization;
(b) not in good faith, but in the colourable
exercise of the employer’s rights;
(c) by falsely implicating a workman in a
criminal case on false evidence or on
concocted evidence;
(d) for patently false reasons;
(e) on untrue or trumped up allegation of
absence without leave;
(f)
in utter disregard of the principles of
natural justice in the conduct of domestic
enquiry or with undue hast;
(g) for misconduct of a minor or technical
character, without having any regard to
the nature of the particular misconduct or
the past record or service of the workman,
thereby leading to a disproportionate
punishment.
6. ——————————————————
7.
To transfer a workmen malafide from one place
to another, under the guise of following
management policy.
26. The burden to prove the Issue No. 3 and 4 is
on the Workperson. However the Workperson has
failed to produce on record any material evidence
to show her discharge from service which amounts
to victimization and unfair labour practice. Even
otherwise, the Workperson was appointed as a
Stenographer on 29-04-1995 and confirmed in
service on 06-02-1996. Thereafter vide letter dated
23-3-2001 the Employer while revising her salary
and her designation was changed to Sr. Receptionist
to Sr. Clerk II. The Workperson admitted that she
was issued a show cause notice dated 12-8-2002 for
act of misplacing the share certificates entrusted to
her for inward mail and that she had admitted the
misplacement of the share certificates in her reply
dated 13-8-2002 to the said show cause notice. She
admitted that she was issued a warning letter dated
7-11-2002 after conducting a departmental inquiry.
She admitted that the Employer had issued to her
letter dated 30-1-2015 giving her a last time final
opportunity to attend office work at mail section.
Thus, the evidence on record clearly indicates that
the past service of the Workperson was blame worthy
and not clean. Hence, it is held that the discharge
of services on the proved misconduct of in
subordination and disobedience, cannot be called
as by way of victimization or on account of her
transfer etc. and as such it is held that the discharge
of services of Workperson does not amounts to
victimization as well as unfair labour practice.
27. The Workperson lastly pleaded that the
punishment of discharge from service awarded to
her is too severe and highly disproportionate. It is
settled rule that the award of punishment for
misconduct is a matter for the management to
decide and if there is any justification for the
punishment imposed, the Tribunal should not
interfere where the punishment is so disproportionate
that no reasonable employer would ever have
imposed it in like circumstances, the Tribunal may
treat the imposition of such punishment as itself
showing victimization or unfair labour practice.
28. Ld. Adv. Shri R. Gauthankar appearing for the
workman during the course of his oral arguments
submitted that the permission awarded to the
Workperson amounts to victimization and unfair
labour practice and relied upon the following two
judgments.
29. In the case of Hind Construction and
Engineering (Supra), The Hon’ble Apex Court,
“No reasonable Employer would have imposed the
punishment of dismissal on its entire permanent
staff in similar circumstances. Their punishment
was severe and out of proportion to the fault and
therefore the interference by the Tribunal was
justified.”
1100
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 45
8TH FEBRUARY, 2024
The principle laid down by the Hon’ble Apex
Court in aforesaid case is not applicable to the case
in hand as the facts of the case in hand are totally
different than the case before the Hon’ble Apex
Court.
30. In the case of Workman Shri Sheo Shankar
Ram (Supra), the Hon’ble High Court of Jharkand
has held as under,
“The disciplinary authority while imposing the
punishment has not taken into consideration all
aspects of the matter including the past conduct
of the delinquent and the existence of aggravating
circumstances. It is come in the inquiry report
that the petitioner-delinquent earlier met with an
accident while charging battery because of non-
availability of tools. It is also come in the evidence
that for procuring the tools Mr. P. K. Sarbadhikary
along with the petitioner went to Ranchi for local
procurement of tools which were not available. It
is also come in the evidence as it appears from the
inquiry report that the petitioner-delinquent
earlier never refused to do the work or never
subjected to an act of insubordination. Taking
into consideration all the facts, I am of the opinion
that the punishment imposed upon the petitioner
by way of dismissal from the service is very harsh
and disproportionate to the charge levelled against
him. For a charge of not obeying the order of the
superior for charging battery on plausible ground
the workman should not be removed from the
service by way of dismissal.
The principle laid down by the Hon’ble High
Court of Jharkand in aforesaid case is not applicable
to the case in hand as the facts of the case in hand
are totally different than the case before the Hon’ble
High Court of Jharkand.
31. Ld. Adv. Shri P. J. Kamat representing the
Employer during the course of his oral submissions
relied upon the following judgments in support of
his contention that the punishment awarded to the
Workperson is just, legal and bonafide.
32. In the case of Thermax Ltd., Pune (Supra)
the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay after referring
to the law laid down by the DB in Sarabhai M.
Chemicals 1980(49) FLR 439=1980 I LLJ 295(Supra)
has in para 6, after quoting the relevant paras 17 &
18 of the said judgement, ruled as under:-
“The ratio of the decision in the above case
fortifies the conclusion that proved misconducts
of the workmen which constitutes a disobedience
of the lawful orders given by his superior
constitutes a misconduct punishable under Clause
24(a) and (1) of the model S. O. and that the
punishment of dismissal imposed on that count
cannot be said to be shockingly disproportionate
under item (1)(g) of Schedule IV.”
33. In the case of Shivaji A. More (Supra), the
Hon’ble High Court of Bombay has held as under:
“4…………………………….. by now it is well
settled that in matter of transfer, the employee
who has been served with the transfer order must
first report to the place where he is transferred
and thereafter make a representation or take out
legal proceedings there-against. The inconveniences
arising from transfer have been held by the
Supreme Court to be ‘normal incidents’ of service,
not justifying interference with transfer orders
…………..”
34. In the case of Sarabhai M. Chemicals (Supra),
the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay held as under:
“A stenographer is an essential part of any
commercial or administrative office. If lawful orders
are disobeyed by him, it is not necessary to
measure in terms of money the loss that may be
caused or the inconvenience that may be caused
in order to decide whether he should be punished
in the course of departmental enquiry or not. The
very fact that a responsible employee like a
stenographer indulges in deliberate disobedience
of lawful orders, in our view, in sufficient to
warrant a punishment of dismissal.”
35. In the case of Pearlite Liners P. Ltd. (Supra),
the Hon’ble Apex Court has held as under:
“……………………………The plaintiff has not
complied with the transfer order as she never
reported for work at the place where she was
transferred……………………… In case of such
insubordination, termination of service would be
a possibility. Such a decision purely rests within
the discretion of the management ………………………
An employer cannot be forced to take an employee
with whom relations have reached a point of
complete loss of faith between the two.”
The principle laid down by the Hon’ble Apex
Court as well as the Hon’ble High Court of Bombay
in its respective aforesaid cases are well recognized
and also applicable to the case in hand. Among the
aforesaid cases the principle laid down by the
Hon’ble High Court in the case of Sarabhai M.
Chemicals is exactly applicable to the case in hand.
36. In the case in hand the Workperson was
working as stenographer which was subsequently
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 45
8TH FEBRUARY, 2024
1101
designated as Sr. Receptionist to Sr. Clerk-II. The
services of the Workperson was transferred to at the
4th floor for M/s V. S. Dempo Holdings Ltd. The
Workperson was issued a letter dated 3-4-2014
which she refused to accept the said letter. The
Workperson was relieved on 3-4-2014 to report to
the Employer on 4-4-2014. The Workperson
accordingly reported to Mr. Shirodkar for placement.
The Workperson was offered a letter dated
24-1-2015 informing her that she has to attend work
for mail section on the ground floor office. The
Workperson refused to accept the said letter and
did not give any heed to the instructions and advise
and also did not report to the mail section and
remained idle without doing work till close of
working hours thereby disobeyed the reasonable
and lawful order of the superior. The Workperson
alleged that she was scared to join in the mail
section on the ground floor as earlier there was
death of one of the employee due to heart attack.
The said defence of the Workperson is incorrect and
illogical taking into consideration the seriousness
of the misconduct, past record of the Workperson as
well as existence of the mitigating circumstances,
the punishment of discharge from service issued to
the Workperson is just, legal and proper, and this
court shall not interfere with the same. It is held
that the action of Employer in dismissing the
services of the Workperson w.e.f. 30-9-2015 is just,
legal and proper.
In view of above it is held that the Workperson
failed to prove that the action of the management
of the Employer in dismissing her services w.e.f.
30-9-2015 is illegal and unjustified. It is further held
that the Workperson failed to prove that the action
of the Employer in dismissing her services w.e.f.
30-9-2015 amounts to unfair Labour practice and
victimization. The Issue No. 3 and 4 are therefore
answered in the negative.
37. Issue No. 5: While deciding the Issue No. 3
herein above I have discussed and come to the
conclusion that the action of the Employer in
dismissing the services of the Workperson is just,
legal and proper. So also while deciding the Issue
No. 4 hereinabove I have discussed and come to the
conclusion that the Workperson failed to prove that
the action of the Employer in dismissing her services
amounts to unfair Labour practice and victimization.
The Workperson is therefore is not entitled to any
relief. The Issue No. 5 is therefore answered in the
negative.
In view of the above, I proceed to pass the
following Order:-
ORDER
1. It is held that the action of the management of
M/s. Goa Carbon Limited, Campal, Panaji, Goa,
in dismissing the service of Mrs. Rupa U. Naik
Madkaikar, Sr. Receptionist-cum-Sr. Clerk-II,
w.e.f. 30-09-2015, is legal and justified.
2. It is held that the Workperson Mrs. Rupa U.
Naik Madkaikar, is not entitled to any relief.
Inform the Government accordingly.
