(3)

If the answer to issues No. 1 and 2 above is in the affirmative, then, what relief the Workman is

2. On receipt of the reference, a case was registered under No. LC-II/IT/16/2017 and registered A/D

notice was issued to the Parties. In pursuance to the said notice, both the parties put in their appearance.

The Workman/Party-I (for short, the Workman) filed his Statement of Claim on 12/03/2018 at Exb. 4. The

facts of the case in brief as pleaded by the Workman are that he was employed as a “Water Meter Reader”

with the Party-II/Employer (For short “Employer”) w.e.f. October 2009. He stated that he was paid a

monthly salary of Rs. 3,650/- per month. He stated that subsequently, his salary was increased to Rs. 216

per day. He stated that he was working under the supervision of junior Engineer and Assistant Engineer

namely Junior Engineer Maheshwar Opkar and Assistant Engineer V. G. Naik. He stated that he worked

with the Employer from 1^st October, 2009 to 22^nd October, 2014 regularly without any break continuously

under the instructions of the said Junior Engineer and Assistant Engineer for a period of 5 years. He stated

that on 23/10/2014, he reported for work as usual at around 10 a.m. in the morning and he was not allowed

to report for work by Junior Engineer Mr. Maheshwar Opkar saying that his services have been terminated

from that day. He stated that on 21/10/2014, Junior Engineer had informed him not to come for work from

23/10/2014.

3. He stated that since the date of his unemployment, he is unemployed and is trying to get meter

readers job with PWD but not succeeded. He stated that his monthly wages were paid by Jr. Engineer by

cash and he obtained his signature on a sheet of paper stating that he had received monthly salary. He

stated that, initially there was no name of any Employer written on such sheets of paper. He stated that

however on some sheets of paper where signatures were taken name of agency namely P.M. detective and

securities was inserted. He stated that M/s. P. M. Detective and Securities is a sham and bogus contractor

who never came to the Employer-1 and no supervisors of the said contractor ever worked with Employer-1.

He stated that he never came to pay monthly wages. He stated that it was only the Jr. Engineer who paid

monthly salary and supervised his work and gave us instructions along with Asst. Engineer. Aggrieved by

1008

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 22

27TH AUGUST, 2026

the decision of the Employer-1 to terminate his services illegally and without any justification, he raised an

Industrial Dispute vide letter dt. 20/04/2016 which ended in failure.

4. He contended that one year prior to his termination from service, he had worked for more than 240

days and in fact he worked without any breaks from 1^st October, 2009 to 22.10.2014. He stated that before

termination of his services, the Employer did not pay retrenchment compensation of 15 days wages for

every year of service that he had worked with the Employer. He stated that the Employer did not give one

month notice before termination. He stated that the Employer did not give valid reasons for his termination.

He stated that at the time of his termination of services, there were other meter readers numbering around

10 working with the Employer. He stated that the Employer did not prepared seniority list and did not

follow the principles of “last come first go” before his termination. He stated that in February, 2015, the

Employer recruited 5 Water Meter Readers but they did not call him for work. He stated that the Employer

violated the provisions of law namely Sections 25-F, 25-G and 25-H of the I. D. Act, 1947 at the time of

termination of his services and hence his termination is illegal, unjustified and ab-initio-void and hence is

entitled for reinstatement in service with full back wages and continuity of service.

5. He stated that the Employer-2 is a Sham and bogus contractor whose name has been added to

deprive him of his legal rights as a worker and an employee of the Employer-(I). He stated that he was an

employee of the Employer-1 and worked under the supervision of the Employer-1 and received his salary

from the Employer-1. He stated that his services were orally terminated and no legal dues were paid to him

besides the fact that the termination is violation of Sections 25-F, 25-G and 25-H of the I. D. Act, 1947.

The Workman therefore prayed that he should be reinstated in service with full back wages and continuity

of service with costs.

6. The Employer-1 controverted the claim statement of the Workman by filing its written statement on

07/09/2018 at Exb.9. The Employer-1 stated that the contractor i.e. Employer-2 herein, had applied for

tender documents. The Employer-1 stated that Employer-2 quoted the work as contender with other

is not entitled to claim and demand retrenchment compensation of 15 days wages for every year

of service. The Employer-1 stated that the Workman was not employed with them and hence

question of preparing seniority list and following the same does not arise. The Employer-1 stated

that the Workman was employed lastly by Employer-2 during his contract period from

01/11/2013 to 23/10/2014 and therefore the question of violation of section 25-F, 25-G and 25-H

of the I. D. Act, 1947, if any, is not applicable to them. The Employer-1 stated that the payment

of monthly wages to the Workman was made by the respective contractor who had engaged his

services for the work and as such the question of paying monthly wages by their Jr. Engineer

does not arise. The Employer-1 stated that the Workman was not employed by them and hence

the termination of his services does not arise at all. The Employer-1 stated that the payment of

work as per agreement of work contract has been done to the respective contractors and

respective contractors have paid the monthly wages to their Workman. The Employer-1 denied

the overall case as pleaded by the Workman and prayed for dismissal of the present reference.

at Exb.14. The same issues have been updated vide order dated 09/10/2025 at Exb. 35.

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

Issue No. 1

In the Negative.

Issue No. 2

In the Affirmative.

Issue No. 3

In the Affirmative.

Issue No. 4

In the Affirmative.

Issue No. 5 & 6

As per final order.

Both the parties have filed their synopsis of written arguments respectively. I have carefully perused

the entire records of the present case including the synopsis of arguments filed by both the parties. I have

also considered the submissions advanced before me and is of the firm opinion as under:

REASONS

11. Issues No. 1 and 2:

I decide the issue No. 1 and 2 simultaneously as both the said issues No. 1 and 2 are co-related to each

other.

The Workman, in his claim statement, filed in the present proceedings pleaded and also stated on oath

that he was employed as a Water Meter Reader with the Employer-1, w.e.f. October, 2009. On the contrary,

the Employer-1, in its written statement, filed in the present proceedings pleaded and also stated on oath

that there was/is no relationship of whatsoever between themselves and the Workman and that they have

not employed the Workman. The Employer-1 further stated that the Workman was being employed /

engaged by various contractors to give services as required in the office and that the respective contractor

has been paid as per contract agreement paid by them and contractor has to pay to the employees/staff

engaged by them. In support of its oral evidence, the Employer-I have produced on record copies of

percentage rate tender and contract dt.18/11/2010 (Exb. 22), percentage rate tender and contract dt.

28/09/2012, percentage rate tender and contract dt. 28/09/2013, copy of letter dt. 18/06/2012 (Exb. 25),

copy of letter dt. 02/05/2012 (Exb. 26), copy of letter dt. 28/10/2013 (Exb.27), copy of letter dt. 28/09/2012

(Exb. 28), copy of letter dt. 06/01/2014 (Exb. 29), copy of letter dt. 18/11/2010 (Exb. 30), copy of letter dt.

30/03/2012 (Exb. 31-colly) and copy of letter dt. 19/10/2009 (Exb. 32-colly). Thus, the oral as well as

documentary evidence on record clearly indicates that the Workman was working as water meter reader

w.e.f. 01/10/2009 till 22/10/2014 with various contractors in the office of the Employer-1 on contract basis.

Hence, it is held that the Workman failed to prove that there exist any employer-employee relationship

between him and the Employer-1 and it is held that there does not exist employer-employee relationship

between themselves and the Workman. The issue No. 1 is therefore answered in the Negative and the issue

No. 2 is answered in the Affirmative.

1011

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 22

27TH AUGUST, 2026

12. Issues No. 3:

The Employer-2 did not controverted the claim of the Workman. However, the evidence on record

indicates that the Employer-2 had applied for tender documents with the Employer-1 and he quoted the

work as contender with other contractors with the intention to get the work and engage his staff for the

work of maintenance of water supply schemes under SD(IV)/WD/IX(PHE), Monte-Margao-engaging staff

on contract basis for works under billing section of Curtorim Constituency and that the Employer-2 being

the lowest quoted contractor, the work was aborted to him as per Govt. rules under agreement dt.

28/10/2013 for the period from 01/11/2013 to 23/10/2014. The evidence on record indicates that the

Workman and others were engaged for the above said work by the Employer-2 to execute the work as per

the above agreement. Hence it is held that there exist an employer-employee relationship between

themselves and the Workman. The issue No. 3 is therefore answered in the Affirmative.

13. Issue No. 4:

While deciding the Issue No. 1 & 2, I have discussed and came to the conclusion that there does not

exist any employer-employee relationship with the Employer-1 and Workman. Similarly while deciding the

Issue No. 3, I have discussed and came to the conclusion that there exist an employer-employee

relationship with the Employer-2 and the Workman.

The Workman pleaded that the Employer violated the provisions of sections 25-F, 25-G and 25-H of I.

D. Act 1947 at the time of termination of his services and hence the termination of his services is illegal,

unjustified ab-initio-void and bad-in-law. Therefore, it is necessary to go through the provisions of sections

25-F, 25-G and 25-H of the I.D. Act, 1947.

14. Section 25-F of the I. D. Act 1947 reads as under:

25-F. Conditions precedent to retrenchment of Workmen— No Workman 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 workman has been given one month’s notice in writing indicating the reasons for

retrenchment and the period of notice has expired, or the workman has been paid in lieu of

such notice, wages for the period of the notice:

(b)

The workman 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.

15. 25-G. Procedure for retrenchment— Where any Workman in an industrial establishment, who is a

citizen of India, is to be retrenched and he belong to a particular category of workmen in that

establishment, in the absence of any agreement between the employer and the workman in this behalf, the

employer shall ordinarily retrench the Workman in this behalf, the employer shall ordinarily retrench the

Workman who was the last person to be employed in that category, unless for reasons to be recorded the

employer retrenches any other workman.

16. 25-H. Re-employment of retrenched workmen – where any workmen are retrenched, and the

employer proposes to take into his employ any persons, he shall, in such a manner as may be prescribed,

give an opportunity 49[ to the retrenched workmen who are citizens of India to offer themselves for re-

employment, and such retrenched workmen] who offer themselves for re-employment shall have preference

over other persons.

17. The evidence on record indicates that the Employer-1 had given the work of maintenance of water

supply scheme under SD(IV)/WD/IX(PHE) Monte-Margao engaging staff on contract basis for works

under billing section of Curtorim Constituency. The evidence on record indicates that the Employer-2

being the lowest quoted contractor the work was aborted to him as per government rules under agreement

dt.28/10/2013 for the period from 01/11/2013 to 23/10/2014. The evidence on record indicates that the

Workman and others were engaged for the above said work by the Employer-2 to execute the work. The

evidence on record indicates that the contract period was from 01/11/2013 to 23/10/2014 as such the

1012

OFFICIAL GAZETTE — GOVT. OF GOA

SERIES II No. 22

27TH AUGUST, 2026

Employer-1 and the Workman has no relationship of employer-employee but the relationship of employer-

employee remains with the Employer-2 being the immediate Employer. The evidence on record indicates

that the Employer-2 did not resist the claim of the Workman thereby impliedly admitting the same. The

Employer-2 also failed to produce on record regarding the employment of the Workman. The evidence on

record indicates that the Employer-2 had engaged the services of the Workman for the contract period from

01/11/2013 to 23/10/2014. There is nothing on record to show that the Employer-2 has complied with

Sections 25-F, 25-G and 25-H of the I. D. Act, 1947, hence it is held that the action of the Employer-2 in

terminating the services of the Workman is in violation of section 25-F, 25-G and 25-H of the I. D. Act,

1947 and as such the termination of services of the Workman is illegal and unjustified. The issue No.4 is

therefore answered in the Affirmative.

18. Issue No. 5.

While deciding the issue No. 4 hereinabove, I have discussed and came to the conclusion that the

action for the Employer-2 in terminating the services of the Workman is illegal and unjustified. The

Workman pleaded and stated on oath that after termination of his services the Workman remained

unemployed. The Workman is therefore entitled for 50% of back wages from the date of his termination

w.e.f. 23/10/2014.

In view of the above, I proceed to pass the following order:

ORDER

It is held that there does not exist severance of employer-employee relationship between the

Public Works Department, Works Division-IX (PHE), Fatorda, Margao, Goa and Shri

Domingos Diogo Monteiro, Meter Reader, on account of termination of his services.

It is held that there exists severance of employer-employee relationship between the

management of M/s. P. M. Detective and Securities, PWD Contractor, 3^rd floor, Fatima

Chambers, Margao-Goa, and Shri. Domingos Diogo Monteiro, Meter Reader, on account of

termination of services.

It is held that the action of the Employer-2 in terminating the services of the Workman w.e.f.

23/10/2014 is illegal and unjustified.

It is held that the Workman Mr. Domingos Diogo Monteiro, Meter Reader, is hereby directed

to reinstate in the services of M/s. P. M. Detective and Securities, PWD Contractor, 3^rd floor,

Fatima Chambers, Margao, Goa, along with 50% back wages from the date of termination

w.e.f. 23/10/2014.

No order as to costs.

Inform the Government accordingly.
