7. Party I states that all the Working Journalists and other newspaper employees are governed under the provisions of Working Journalists and other Newspaper Employees (Conditions of Service)319 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT.

Party I states that he was issued a series of Appointment Letters as a Reporter from time to time fixing meager wages much lower than Majithia Wage Board payments due to him.

9. Party I states that for the first two years of service i.e. from 2002 to 2004, he was paid Rs. 4,000/- per month. In the year 2004, his wages were increased by Rs. 500/-, in the year 2006, by Rs. 500/-, in the year 2007 by another Rs. 500/- which came to be Rs. 5,500/- per month. Later on his salary rose to Rs. 8,000/- per month.

As there was no settlement before the Conciliation Officer, the conciliation was closed on 20/01/2023 and the minutes of the same were recorded.

11. In view of the Claim Statement filed by the Party I, the point that arises for my determination is 'whether the Party I proves that he is entitled for the relief claimed in his Claim Statement'.

12. Pursuance to the notice served on Party II, Ms. Alisha Naik, HR, Representative of Party II remained present on 13/06/2024. Thereafter, the Party II or their representative continuously remained absent and did not attend the matter for several hearings despite given opportunity to file their Written Statement in view of the Claim Statement filed by the Party I.The Party II remained absent throughout, therefore on 04/02/2025, the Ex-parte Order was passed against Party II.

13. In support of their Claim, Shri Subhash Naik Jorge remained present on behalf of Party I and examined the witness namely Shri Vithal Sukhadkar on behalf of Party I. Besides the Affidavit-in- Evidence filed by Shri Vithal Sukhadkar supporting their Claim, this witness also produced on record documents i.e. copy of the Order dated 11/11/2011 issued by the Ministry, Labour and Employment at Exhibit 7, copy of the Calculation prepared by Party I at Exhibit 8, copy of the letter dated 04/06/2005 of Party II regarding Pay Revision at Exhibit 9, copy of the Bank Pass Sheet dated 18/07/2018 at Exhibit 10, copy of Salary Slips of October, 2005, May, 2006, October, 2006, October, 2007, July 2007, February, 2011, May, 2015, March, 2015, June, 2015, January, 2016, November, 2016 at Exhibit 11 Colly, copy of Salary Certificate dated 12/01/2017 at Exhibit 12, copy of the Certificate of Employment dated 01/10/2022 at Exhibit 13, copy of the letter of Party II dated 19/10/2004, 19/10/2004, 15/01/2004, 01/11/2006, 01/11/2007, 01/04/2008, 01/04/2015 at Exhibit 14 Colly and copy of RTI information issued by the Assistant Labour Commissioner, Panaji-Goa at Exhibit 15.

14. The contents of the Affidavit-in-Evidence at Exh. 6 is in line with the Claim Statement filed by Party I which contents have not been disputed neither discarded as the Party II chose to stay away from the proceedings. In the Affidavit-in-Evidence, Shri Sukhadkar gave detailed calculations of the amount due to him which amount according to him the Party II refused to pay as per the recommendations of Majithia Wage Board. According to the Workman, Shri Sukhadkar, he was entitled to receive total salary of Rs. 19,55,193.00, however the Party II paid less salary of Rs. 10,05,562.00.

15. He further claimed the difference amount being less salary paid to him amounts to Rs. 8,97,711/- (Rupees Eight Lakhs Ninety Seven Thousand Seven Hundred Eleven Only) which has to be paid to him. Similarly, EPF amount of Rs. 5,84,163/- (Rupees Five Lakhs Eighty Four Thousand One Hundred Sixty Three Only), Gratuity amount of Rs. 1,10,517 (Rupees One Lakh Ten Thousand Five Hundred Seventeen and Leave Balance payment of Rs. 1,46,725/- (Rupees One Lakh Forty Six Thousand Seven Hundred Twenty Five Only). So also for the period from 01/10/2002 to320 OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA SERIES II No. 8 22ND MAY, 2025 31/10/2011 when Manisana Wage Board recommendations were applicable, Party I was paid less wages amounting to Rs. 2,88,194/- (Rupees Two Lakhs Eighty Eight Thousand One Hundred Ninety Four Only). The total amount due to Party I/Workman for the period from 11/10/2002 to 31/03/2017 is as follows:

16. It is a matter of record that the dispute raised by the Party I/Workman as regards to the non- payment of the salary and other benefits under the recommendation of the Majithia Wage Board could not be settled before the Conciliation Officer as per the Report dated 20/01/2023. The Claim of the Party I/Workman has been supported and substantiated by the documents produced on record from Exhibit 7 to Exhibit 14. The grievance raised by the Party I/Workman in his Claim statement as well as in the Affidavit-in-Evidence has not been discarded nor the contents of the documents produced on record are in dispute owing to non-appearance of the Party II, thereby resulting the matter being marked ex-parte against Party II.

17. In the circumstances above, this Tribunal answers the point for determination in the affirmative.

Hence the following Order:

ORDER

(i) The Party II/M/s. Gomantak Private Limited, Gomantak Bhavan, St. Inez, Panaji-Goa is hereby directed to pay the salary and other benefits as well as the arrears for the period from 11/10/2002 to 02/03/2017 to the Workman, Shri Vithal Sukhadkar as per the recommendations of the Manisana Wage Board and Majithia Wage Board.

(ii) No order as to costs.
