The Committee may also co-opt — (i) retired Judicial Officers; and
(ii) the Investigating Officer (IO) in charge of the case.
The terms of reference of the DLSC shall be as under:-
(a) DLSC may suo-moto review every quarter all such cases where withdrawal from prosecution against
foreigners can be considered in terms of paras 3 and 4 above.

may carefully analyse the implications, both in the national and international context. DLSC may record a
reasoned written opinion, supported by legal grounds, public interest justification etc.
Note:-

against foreign nationals only, the impact of such withdrawal may be carefully examined by the District
Level Screening Committee taking into account the legal implications. All such cases may invariably be
referred to the State Level Screening Committee for final decision along with recommendations of the
DLSC.
(2) In case of a foreigner against whom multiple cases have been filed either in the same State/UT or

all cases together in consultation with all the States/UTs concerned. In such cases, the State/UT where the
foreigner is kept in custody or living on bail may process the matter and coordinate with the other
States/UTs concerned.
(3) In cases filed against a foreigner under the NDPS Act and in cases of foreigners involved in
smuggling cases under the Customs Act, 1962, the DLSC may also examine as to whether the foreigner
involved is a part of any organized crime syndicate having internal or international linkages before taking a
decision on withdrawal from prosecution.
(4) While considering the cases for withdrawal from prosecution in cases filed against a foreigner, the
DLSC may also consider whether the case falls in any of the following categories:-
➤Involving Interpol Notices issued by a foreign Government.
➤Extradition requests from third countries.
➤Treaty obligations to prosecute certain crimes under international law (e.g., torture, war crimes).
All such cases may be examined thoroughly before taking a final decision.
(5) In cases where there is divergence of views between FRRO and the District Level Committee, the
matter may be escalated to the State Level Screening Committee with necessary recommendations for a
final decision.

AWARD
(Delivered on this the 16th day of the month of February of the year 2026)
By Order dated 22nd September, 2021 bearing No. 28/40/2021-LAB/466, the Government of Goa in
exercise of powers conferred by Clause (d) of sub-section (1) of Section 10 of the Industrial Disputes Act,
1947 (Central Act of 14 of 1947) has referred the following dispute to this Tribunal for adjudication.
SCHEDULE
(1)
Whether the action of the management of M/s Gate Gourmet (India) Private Limited, Airport
Road, Sancoale, Dabolim, Goa in closing it’s establishment with effect from 27-06-2017 thereby
rendering 39 workmen out of employment is legal and justified?
(2)
If not, what relief the Workmen are entitled to.
2. Upon receipt of the reference, it was registered as IT/15/2021 and registered A/D notices were issued
to both the Parties. Pursuant to service of notice, Party I filed their Claim Statement at Exhibit 5 and the Party
II in response filed their Written Statement at Exhibit 6.
3. That the present reference has been made by the Government of Goa under Section 10(1)(d) of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, whereby this Hon’ble Tribunal has been called upon to adjudicate the legality,
validity and justification of the action taken by Party II in closing its establishment with effect from
27/06/2017, which consequentially resulted in cessation of employment of 39 workmen, and further to
determine the reliefs, if any, that may be available to the said workmen under the provisions of the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947.
4. It is the case of the Party I/Workmen that all the 39 workmen employed at Gate Gourmet India Pvt.
Ltd, are the unionized member workmen of Goa Trade & Commercial Workers’ Union. The Party I/Workmen
submits that immediately after the unionization, the management of Gate Gourmet India Pvt. Ltd. began
harassing and victimizing the unionized workmen, pressurizing them to forsake the union membership. When
these workmen refused to concede to the above unjust demands of the management, they were threatened
that their services would be terminated summarily.
5. The Party I/Workmen submits that after unionization all the Party I/workmen inspite of all the co-
operation and productivity maintained by the workers, the management of Gate Gourmet Pvt. Ltd. continued
to adopt various unfair labour practices and harassment tactics. The payment of monthly salaries and
overtime wages of the workmen were withheld without any justified reasons. The union on many occasions
advised and counselled the management not to adopt any such unfair labour practices and indulge in
harassment tactics and requested for payment of unpaid wages including overtime wage. The Party
I/workmen states that since the wages, salaries and other allowances of the Party I/Workmen were low, the
union raised the Charter of Demands on the management of Party II/Company seeking revision and
enhancement in the existing service conditions of the workmen employed therein.
6. After the receipt of the said Charter of Demands, the management of the Party II/Company started
harassment and victimization and forced the workmen to withdraw the said pending Charter of Demands and
as such the Party I/Union raised an industrial dispute before the Office of the Assistant Labour
Commissioner, Vasco, requesting the Office of the Assistant Labour Commissioner to intervene in the matter.
On the request of the Party I/Union, the Office of the Assistant Labour Commissioner, Vasco issued notices
to the Party II/Employer as well as Party I/workmen and the subject matter of the said industrial dispute on
pending Charter of Demands was admitted in conciliation.
7. The Party I/Workmen states that the Party II/Employer instead of negotiating and settling the said
pending Charter of Demands arbitrarily, enforced the closure w.e.f. 27/06/2017, thereby terminating the
services of the 39 permanent workmen as and by way of pressure tactic with malice and malafide intentions.
The Party I/Workmen states that the closure enforced by the management w.e.f. 27/06/2017 is in violation of
Section 25(O) and Chapter VB of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. At the time when the closure was
enforced, the Party II/Employer was employing more than 100 workmen at its above establishment and hence
it was mandatory for an Employer to obtain prior permission before enforcing a closure of its establishment.
1848
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 52
27TH MARCH, 2026
8. The Party I/Workmen states that at the time when the closure was enforced by the Party II/Employer,
an industrial dispute pertaining to non-settlement of Charter of Demands was pending before the Assistant
Labour Commissioner, Vasco in conciliation and change in service conditions of the workmen and by
enforcing closure w.e.f. 27/06/2017 is illegal, unjust and bad-in-law and is in violation of Section 33 of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and rules made thereunder.
9. The Party I/Workmen states that Party I/Union had filed a complaint before the Labour Commissioner
in respect of illegal shifting of machinery, raw material and finished products from its above-named Factory
to another newly set-up Unit. It was also informed to the Labour Commissioner that the Managing Director
of Gate Gourmet India Pvt. Ltd. was indulging in unfair labour practices mentioned in Fifth Schedule of
Clause-1 sub-clause (a) & (b). The said complaint is pending for its correct adjudication. The Party
I/Workmen states that the Management of Gate Gourmet India Pvt. Ltd. has illegally closed its Factory
situated at Airport Plaza, Sancoale, Dabolim-Goa without any prior notice or intimation in order to
summarily terminate the services of the permanent unionized workmen.
10. The Party II/Employer in their Written Statement filed at Exhibit 6 submitted that they have taken
preliminary objection that President of the Union has no locus standi to espouse or prosecute the cause of the
alleged 39 workmen in the absence of any valid authorization, written consent, resolution, or proof of union
membership empowering him to represent the said workmen. In the absence of such authority, the very
intuition and continuation of the present reference at the behest of the Union President is legally untenable
and vitiates the maintainability of the proceedings.
11. The Party II submits that it is a company incorporated under the Companies Act, 1956 and was
operating its establishment at Airport Road, Sancoale, Dabolim-Goa which was engaged in providing
specialised in-flight catering services connected with highly sensitive aviation operations involving Indian as
well as foreign airlines and passengers, thereby requiring strict compliance with regulatory, operational,
safety and commercial standards at all material times.
12. The Party II submits that for several years preceding the closure, it was continuously incurring heavy,
recurring and unsustainable financial losses. Despite sincere and bona-fide efforts undertaken by Party II to
sustain the operations of the Goa unit including cost-cutting measures, restructuring and expectations of
business revival, the losses persisted unabated, rendering the continuation of operations commercially and
economically unviable.
13. That after exhausting all reasonable alternatives short of closure and having regard to the continued
financial deterioration of the business, the Party II, acting bona fide, took a well thought and considered
decision to permanently close its establishment by strictly following the due process of law.
14. The Party II issued an advance notice of closure dated 28/04/2017 clearly and unequivocally
intimating that the establishment would be closed with effect from 27/06/2017. Individual notices were duly
served upon each concerned workmen and statutory intimations were sent to all concerned authorities
including the Labour Department, thereby ensuring complete compliance with statutory requirements.
15. In the Rejoinder at Exh. 7 filed by the Party I/Workmen, the Party I denied the defence taken by the
Party II in their Written Statement and maintained and reiterated the facts stated in their Claim Statement.
16. Considering the pleadings of both the Parties, this Tribunal framed the following issues at Exhibit 11:
ISSUES
(i)
Whether Party I/Workmen proves that the action of the management of Gate Gourmet India Pvt. Ltd.,
in closing its establishment w.e.f. 27/06/2017 is illegal, unjust and bad in law?
(ii)
Whether Party I/Workmen proves that the termination of service of 39-permanent workmen, whose
names are hereunder in Annexure-I arising out of the said closure is illegal, unjust and bad in law?
(iii)
Whether Party I/Workmen proves that the 39 workmen whose names are mentioned in Annexure-I are
entitled for reinstatement, with full back wages and continuity in service?
(iv)
Whether the Party II/Employer proves that the closure enforced by the Party II/Company w.e.f. 26-06-
2017 is legal and justified?
(v)
Whether Party II/Employer proves that the Goa Trade and Commercial Workers’ Union has no locus
standi to raise the dispute on behalf of 39 workers?

(vi)
What Relief?
17. On the perusal of the Issues, it is seen that there is no list or the Annexure mentioning the names of
the 39 workmen alleged to the entitlement for re-statement as referred in Issue No. 2 and 3.
18. From the issues framed hereinabove, both the Parties to the proceeding have led their evidence in
respect of these issues and my findings on the same, with reasons, are as follows:
Issue No. 1, 2 and 3
:
In the Negative
Issue No. 4
:
In the Affirmative
Issue No. 5
:
In the Negative
Issue No. 6
:
As per Final Order
REASONS
19. Issue No. 1, 2, 3 & 4: For the sake of convenience, since all these issues are interconnected, the same
are taken together for discussion along with reasons as under:
The Party II in their written arguments pointed out to relevant and material facts which have been
admitted by the witness of the Party I/Mr. R. D. Mangueshkar in his deposition i.e. in his cross examination;
“I say that the notice at Exh. 21 was displayed on the notice board so that Party I/ workers can read the
same and I also add and say that the said notice of closure was sent to our union office at Panjim Goa.”
20. That the said witness Mr. R. D. Mangueshkar further stated in his cross- examination as under:
“It is true that in the said notice the Party II establishment stated that since Goa unit of the company is
no longer economically viable, it has decided to close the same with effect from 27/06/2017.”
21. Mr. R. D. Mangueshkar who is the office bearer of the union has categorically admitted during cross-
examination that Party II duly complied with and followed the legally mandated process for closure by
issuing a two months’ prior notice to the Union, communicating the effective date of closure as well as the
bona fide and lawful reasons for the said closure, thereby fulfilling all statutory requirements under the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
22. The Party II further submitted that upon effecting the closure of the establishment, individual
termination letters were duly issued to each of the concerned workmen and closure compensation along with
all statutory dues payable under Section 25-FFF of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 including wages in lieu
of notice and compensation as prescribed under law has been duly paid and received by all the employees.
23. It is an admitted and undisputed position as per the records that all the concerned workmen received
their respective full and final settlement amounts, including retrenchment/closure compensation and all other
statutory dues payable to them under the law, without raising any contemporaneous protest or objection at the
time of receipt, thereby clearly evidencing acceptance of the closure and compliance by Party II.
24. The Party II also raised the issue of the union having no locus standi to file the Claim Statement on
behalf of the said workers in the absence of any valid authorization, written consent, resolution, or proof of
representative capacity empowering the Union to espouse the cause of the alleged 39 workmen and in the
absence of any material on record to establish that the Union was duly authorised by the concerned workmen
to initiate or pursue the present proceedings, it is clear that that they do not have any locus standi. It is clear
that not a single employee named in the reference has deposed in the present matter to justify their case, the
said fact also make it clear that the union themselves for the reasons known to them are pursuing this futile
dispute which has caused lot of hardships as well as financial loss to the company.
25. The Party I/Workmen have not examined the workmen concerned in this reference on whose behalf
the Union had raised the claim as regards to the claim of the Party I that the Party II illegally closed their
establishment w.e.f. 27/06/2017 thereby terminating the services of 39 permanent workers employed therein.
That, in regards to the said allegation, Mr. R. D. Mangueshkar, during his cross-examination, categorically
admitted that the operation of Party II remained completely closed at Sancoale Dabolim - Goa w.e.f.
27/06/2017. The witness, Mr. R. D. Mangueshkar, though stated that the Party II is operating from some
1850
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 52
27TH MARCH, 2026
other place, however, admitted that he is not aware which other place in Goa the Party II is operating its
establishment.
26. There is no evidence produced on record in support of the contention of the Party I that the Party II,
after closure of its Goa establishment, moved its operations elsewhere, but at the same time clearly admitted
that he has no knowledge, material particulars or documentary evidence regarding where such alleged
operations commenced, thereby rendering the said allegation wholly speculative, un-substantiated and
baseless.
27. The evidence on record reveals that the operations of Party II in Goa have been completely and
permanently closed with effect from closure and that they have never operated or restarted its operation after
its closure w.e.f. 27/06/2017. Therefore, it is the contention of the Party I/Workmen that once the factum of
closure stands admitted, the scope of adjudication before this Tribunal is confined strictly to examining
whether such closure was genuine, real and effected in accordance with the provisions of law.
28. Further, it is the contention of Party I that at the time of closure, the Party II was employing more
than 100 workers at its establishment and, on that premise, it is alleged that it was mandatory for the
Employer to obtain prior permission from the appropriate Government Authority before enforcing the closure
of its establishment under the provisions of Chapter V-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
29. However, the sole witness of the Party I, Mr. R. D. Mangueshkar, admitted in his cross-examination
that he has not produced any documentary evidence to justify his statement made in Para 10 of his Affidavit
in Evidence that the Party II/Employer was employing more than 100 workmen at its above establishment
and hence it is mandatory for an Employer to obtain prior permission before enforcing a closure of its
establishment. There is no evidence produced on record by Party I as admitted in cross- examination by their
witness that no documentary proof exists to support their allegation that Party II was employing more than
100 workmen. The Party I/Workmen have consistently failed to substantiate by any cogent evidence/material,
the fact pertaining to Party II was employing more than 100 workmen. It is therefore the contention of the
Party II that at no point of time did the establishment of Party II employed 100 or more workmen, either at
the time of closure or during the twelve months immediately preceding the date of closure. The total number
of workmen employed at the time of closure was only 39 and therefore the provisions of Chapter V-B of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 were admittedly not applicable to the present case.
30. Since the provisions of Chapter V-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 were not applicable to the
establishment of Party II, there was no statutory requirement whatsoever for Party II to obtain any prior
permission or approval from the Appropriate Government or any other authority before effecting the closure
of its establishment. Hence, the contention of the Party II that the entire foundation of the claim raised by
Party I invoking Section 25-O of the Act is wholly erroneous, legally misconceived and untenable in law. It is
submitted that in cases of a genuine and bona fide closure of an industrial establishment, the only relief
available to the affected workmen under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 is statutory compensation as
provided under Section 25-FFF read with Section 25-F of the Act, and that no relief of reinstatement or back
wages can be granted. In the present case, the said statutory compensation and all other legally payable dues
have already been paid in full by Party II in strict compliance with the provisions of law.
31. Mr. R. D. Mangueshkar, in his cross-examination further admitted that all the employees whose
names are mentioned in Exhibit 23 Colly have received the termination letters dated 27/05/2017 along with
the cheques, the details of which are mentioned in the respective letters. Though this witness on his own
stated that these letters were signed under protest and the cheques were also accepted, since the cheques were
towards unpaid salaries of the workers and that they were without job, so there was no other option then to
accept the cheques, however failed to produce anything on record to substantiate his above statement of the
workmen signing these letters under protest. Thus, the Party I/Workmen could not challenge the closure of
the establishment on the grounds of non-payment of compensation and on the basis of statutory non-
compliance by Party II.
32. In the case of “Shri. A. S. Mulla & 38 Ors, represented by the Goa Trade & Commercial
Workers Union v/s M/s Sunrise Zinc Ltd. wherein it is held that “In short, the case of the Party I in the
claim statement is that the Party II is engaged in the business of manufacturing electrolytic zinc and has been
employing more than 200 workmen. The management suddenly on 14.04.2008 closed down its establishment
without any communication or intimation to the union or other statutory authorities. The action on part of
1851
OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA
SERIES II No. 52
27TH MARCH, 2026
the management to close its factory w.e.f. 14.04.2008 is illegal, unjust and bad in law and an attempt made
by the employer to terminate the services of all workmen.
Shri. Mangueshkar has admitted that the notices along with annexures as stated above which were sent
by Party II were received by them. He also admitted that the closure notice dated 13.03.2008 at Exh. 30 was
also received by their Office. No reply was given to the said closure notice nor was it challenged. He also
admitted that the management has paid the wages of lay off and that there is no dispute raised by the Union
with regard to lay off as per the notices and that the Factory was closed. It therefore follows that the Party II
has followed the provisions under the law for the closure of the Company. The claim of Party I that the Party
II was employing more than 100 workmen on its roll preceding 12 months from the date of closure and as
such Chapter VB of the Act is applicable is also not borne by any records. The schedule of the reference
shows that there are only 39 workmen.
There were less than 100 workmen working with Party II at the time of closure. There is, therefore, no
requirement of seeking any permission from appropriate government in terms of Section 25-O of the
Industrial Disputes Act. There is no quarrel that the Party II paid all the dues in terms of law as admitted by
Shri. Mangueshkar. In such circumstances, the Party I has failed to prove that the management of the Party II
closed down its establishment without any communication to them on 14.4.2008 in blatant violation of
Industrial Disputes Act and that the Party II has not followed provisions of Sec 25-O of Chapter VB of the
Act.
Be that as it may, the Party I has not made out any case in its favour and therefore not entitled for any
relief sought by it in the Claim Statement. In the case of M/s. Sunrise Zinc Limited, Cuncolim Industrial
Estate, Cuncolim, (Supra) it was held that “the action of the management of in closing its Factory at
Cuncolim Industrial Estate, Cuncolim, Goa, with effect from 14.04.2008 and consequent retrenchment of its
above mentioned 39 workmen with effect from 14.04.2008, is legal and justified. The Party I/Workmen are
therefore not entitled to any reliefs.”
33. It is the contention of the Party II that the Party I/Union, without any legal basis has raised the
present claim though the said workers having voluntarily accepted the statutory closure compensation and
other dues payable under law without any contemporaneous demur, protest, or reservation. The Party I and
the workmen represented by it cannot now be permitted to approbate and reprobate by alleging that the
closure was illegal or that the provisions of Chapter V-B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 were applicable.
The conduct of the workmen in accepting and encashing the compensation disentitles them from challenging
the closure at this belated stage, particularly without first refunding the amounts so received in accordance
with the settle legal position by Apex Court on India in various decisions.
34. It is the contention of the Party II that the allegations of victimisation, unfair labour practices,
harassment, or malafide intention levelled by Party I are bald, vague, sweeping, and wholly unsupported by
any cogent or credible evidence on record. Mere self-serving assertions or allegations, without proof, cannot
form the basis of any relief, more so when the closure was affected due to genuine financial distress and
strictly in compliance with the statutory provisions of law.
35. Party II stressed upon the several judicial precedents including that of Hon’ble Supreme Court of
India wherein it has been categorically held that “in a reference under the Industrial Disputes Act, an
Industrial Tribunal cannot direct a company or an industrial undertaking to re-open a closed establishment,
depot or branch if the company has, in fact, closed it down”. It has been held that “once the undertaking has
been genuinely closed by following due process of law, the Tribunal cannot direct reinstatement of workmen,
as there would be no business or operational requirement for which the workmen could be engaged in such
circumstances”.
36. Considering the overall records and proceedings and the evidence on record in the present reference
this Tribunal do hereby accept the well-settled and consistent principle of law that is followed when there is a
closure of an industrial undertaking, same being genuine, bona fide, and effected in accordance with law,
then such establishment are immune from interference by Industrial Tribunals and Labour Courts. Once an
undertaking has lawfully ceased to exist, no direction for reinstatement, continuity of service, or revival of
employment can be issued, as there remains no subsisting employer-employee relationship which principle
too is applicable to the present reference. Hence, this Tribunal restrain itself for interfering into the lawful
closure of the establishment of the Party II more particularly because the workmen concerned in the present
reference have already received their statutory compensation and as such are not entitled for any relief as
1852

prayed for in the present reference. In the circumstances above, the Issues No. 1, 2 and 3 are answered
against the Party I/Workmen in the negative. Consequently, the Issue No. 4 stands answered in the
affirmative in favour of the Party II/Employer.
37. Issue No. 5: The Party II/Employer has not produced any cogent evidence to prove this issue, the
burden of which was on the Employer. As such, for want of evidence, Issue No. 5 stands answered against
the Employer in the negative.
In the circumstances above, I pass following Order:
