A W A R D
(Passed on this 7th day of April-2021.)
As per letter dated 8/1/2007 by the Government of India, Ministry of Labour, New Delhi, the
reference is received. The reference is made to this Tribunal under Section -10 of I.D.Act, 1947 as per
Notification No.L-42012/25/2006-IR(DU). The dispute under reference relates to:
“Whether the action of the management of Central Potato Research Station, Gwalior in
terminating the services of their workman (Shri Jagdish Pal & 46 Others) as per
annexure,w.e.f 1-5-2004, is legal and justified? If not to what relief the workmen are
entitled and from which date .”
1. After registering the case on the basis of reference, notices were sent to the parties. Both the parties
have filed their respective claim/defence.
2. The statement of claim filed by the Union on behalf of the workman Union according to which
Jagdish Pal & 46 workman as mentioned in the schedule to the Reference had been under the
engagement of the Management as casual daily wager since last so many years, details of year of
engagement mentioned with the claim of the workman in the Schedule goes to show that they were
engaged since 1983 to 1994. According to the workman they have been continuously working on
regular basis with full devotion and conviction and have worked continuously for a period of more
than 240 days in every year. In the light of the order Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal,
Principal Bench Delhi passed on 19-2-2019 the process of regularization of daily wagers started in the
year 1993. This process was to start in the institute but was not started by the Management, which is
violation of order of Hon’ble Central Administrative Tribunal and Scheme framed in this respect by
the Central Government. Though according to the workman/Union, the workman always kept on
pressing for their regularization in the light of the Scheme. This annoyed the Management and they
dis-engaged the services of the workman without notice or compensation and without any inquiry
w.e.f 1-5-2004 which is violative of Section 25 of the Industrial Disputes Act,1947, hereinafter
referred to as the word’Act”. This is also the case of the workman union that the workman appointed
as daily wagers after year 1993 were regularized which is again violative of Section 25 of the ‘Act’.
Accordingly, the workman have prayed for setting aside their dis-engagement and prayed for their
reinstatement with all back wages and benefits in service.
3. The case of the Management in their statement of defence is that these workman mentioned in the
Schedule to the Reference were never appointed in any capacity as there were no sanctioned vacancy
in this respect. These workman were appointed on daily basis as casual daily wager and none of them
completed 240 days in continuous service, hence their disengagement due to non-availability of work
is not violative of the ‘Act’. It is also stated that one person Lalaram who was regularized in the year
1993 who was admittedly engaged after the engagement of workman in Schedule was found fit for
regularization as he had completed 240 days of engagement. Accordingly ,it has been stated that
reference be answered against the workman.
4. Out of 47 workman mentioned in the Schedule to the Reference 21 workman filed their affidavits.
They are as follows:-

5. Apart from this affidavits of other workman Kallu, Daulatram, Harkishen, Prahlad were also
filed and they have been cross-examined by the management.
6. Vide order dated 23-7-2009 the Management was directed to file documents mentioned in the
order which was never complied with and no excuse for non-filing of the documents was given by the
Management.
7. The Management filed affidavit of its witnesses but he was not produced for cross-examination
and no other document was filed by the Management.
8. At the state of argument Mr. N.B.Sharma appeared on behalf of the workman. His arguments
were heard. None appeared for Management at the time of argument. Management did not file any
written argument inspite of opportunity given to them. I have heard the arguments and have perused
the record. It has been submitted by learned counsel for workman that the workman had stated that
they were engaged as casual daily wager and regularly worked with the Management in this capacity.
They also continuously worked for a period of more than 240 days in every year and in the year
preceding the date of their disengagement. Hence their disengagement without notice or compensation
is violative of Section 25F of the ‘Act’. It has also been submitted that Management did not produce
any muster roll, wage register inspite of directions of Court nor did it furnish any reason for non-
production of the documents, hence adverse inference will be drawn against the Management for non-
production of the documents. He further submits that these documents are not in the custody and
possession of the workman, hence they are not in a position to produce them, hence their statement on
oath regarding regularization of their junior which is admitted in the written statement of defence by
Management and on the point that they worked continuously for a period of 240 days and more in
every year and in the year preceding the date of their disengagement should be believed in absence of
any evidence in rebuttal. Learned Counsel has placed reliance on following case laws:-
9. Assistant Vice President Human Resource And Development,Lakshmi Vilas Bank
Ltd.Chennai Vs. Deputy Commissioner of Labour Court (2019) 160 FLR 314 Madras High Court
held that :-
“When a workman worked for 10 years as peon no notice given prior to termination,
Management did not produce documents to show that he had worked for specified2070 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
number of days, it was duty of Management to produce records and non-production of
record will be fatal to Management.”
10. In another case Manager Muslim Musafir Khana, Moti Dongri Jaipur Vs. Zahir
Khan(2016)151 FLR 995 held :-
“workman is not required to show his working for 240 days, if he has worked
continuously for an year or more.”
11. In another case Santosh Kumar Malviya Vs. Industrial Training Institute & ors.(2021) 168
FLR 11 MP held :-
“Training institute carried out systematic activity and said activity was service calculated
to satisfy human wishes, hence would be covered within the definition of Industry.”
12. In another case Ramsumer Vs. Presiding Officer, Industrial Tribunal,U.P(2021) 168 FLR 63
Allahabad, it was held:
“ that the workman has discharged his duty, the moment he had stepped into the witness
box and stated his case and there was no rebuttal worth the name from the side of the
employer.”
13. In another case Union of India & Another Vs. Surendra Singh Rashtriya Adhyaksha
(INTUC) & Ors.(2019)162 FLR 467 it was held:
“that the evidence that workman had worked continuously for 240 days, burden to prove
otherwise lies on Management as it has the records and documents.”
14. Before entering into discussion on merits, it is necessary to reproduce some legal provisions
Section 25B, 25G and 25F and 25H of the Industrial Disputes Act,1947 which are as follows:-
Section 25 B:-Definition of continuous service.-
(1) a workman shall be said to be in continuous service for a period if he is, for that period,
in uninterrupted service, including service which may be interrupted on account of sickness
or authorised leave or an accident or a strike which is not illegal, or a lock-out or a
cessation of work which is not due to any fault on the part of the workman; (2) where a
workman is not in continuous service within the meaning of clause (1) for a period of one
year or six months, he shall be deemed to be in continuous service under an employer- (a)
for a period of one year, if the workman, during a period of twelve calendar months
preceding the date with reference to which calculation is to be made, has actually worked
under the employer for not less than- (i) one hundred and ninety days in the case of a
workman employed below ground in a mine; and (ii) two hundred and forty days, in any
other case; (b) for a period of six months, if the workman, during a period of six calendar
months preceding the date with reference to which calculation is to be made, has actually
worked under the employer for not less than- (i) ninety-five days, in the case of a workman
employed below ground in a mine; and (ii) one hundred and twenty days, in any other case.
25F. 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: 1[***] (b) the workman has been paid, at the time of retrenchment, compensation
which shall be equivalent to fifteen days' average pay 2[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 3[or such authority as may be
specified by the appropriate Government by notification in the Official Gazette.]
25G. Procedure for retrenchment.- Where any workman in an industrial establishment,
who is a citizen of India, is to be retrenched and he belongs 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 who was
the last person to be employed in that category, unless for reasons to be recorded the
employer retrenches any other workman.
25H. 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 manner as may[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2071
be prescribed, give an opportunity 2[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.
15. Now in the case in hand, the workman have stated on oath that they were engaged for many years
before their disengagement, the specific period mentioned in their affidavits. They worked for 240
days in every year including the year preceding the date of their dis-engagement. They also stated that
they were not paid any compensation or given any notice. Also that juniors were regularized and they
were left un-regularised and when they raised their demands they were dis-engaged. The
management, in its statement of defence has admitted that the workman were daily wagers engaged
by Management but has disputed their claim that they worked continuously for 240 days in a year.
Management admits that no notice or compensation was given. Management also admits that one
Lalaram who was junior to the workman was regularized which, according to the Management was
found to have worked for 240 days. In the light of this admission of Management the burden lied on
the management to prove its case that regularisation of Lalaram was justified in law and fact as
claimed by the Management. The burden also lied on Management to rebut the claim of the workman
by evidence that they did not work continuously for 240 days in a year and in the year preceding the
date of their disengagement, moreover Management did not produce documents summoned by my
learned Predecessor, as mentioned above, this fact also goes against the Management and it may be
presumed that had the documents been produced they would have been against the case of the
Management. The Management did file affidavit of its witness but he was never produced for cross-
examination by Management, hence his affidavit cannot be read in evidence. The Management has
filed no other evidence in the form of documents or otherwise to prove its case.
16. Hence in the backdrop of such a factual position, this Tribunal is constrained to hold that the
workman have successfully proved their continuous engagement for 240 days in the year preceding
the date of their dis-engagement. They have also successfully proved that Lalaram , person junior to
them in the year of appointment was regularized and they were not considered for regularisation
without basis. In absence of any notice or compensation the action of Management in dis-engaging
the workman as mentioned in the Schedule, cannot be held to be legal and justified in law. Hence the
action of Management is held against law and unjustified.
17. As regards the consequential relief, learned counsel for workman has submitted that the work is
still their, it is being done by contractors, hence the workman be reinstated with back wages.
18. In the case of Deepali Gundu Suwase Vs. Kranti Junior Adhyapad Mahavidyalaya(2013) 10 SCC
324(2013(6) SLR 642(SC) broad principles in this respect were laid down by the Hon’ble Apex Court
which are as follows:-
“38. The propositions which can be culled out from the aforementioned judgments are :
38.1. In cases of wrongful termination of service, reinstatement with continuity of service
and back wages is the normal rule.
38.2. The aforesaid rule is subject to the rider that while deciding the issue of back wages,
the adjudicating authority or the Court may take into consideration the length of service of
the employee/workman, the nature of misconduct, if any, found proved against the
employee/ workman, the financial condition of the employer and similar other factors.
38.3. Ordinarily, an employee or workman whose services are terminated and who is
desirous of getting back wages is required to either plead or at least make a statement
before the adjudicating authority or the Court of first instance that he/she was not gainfully
employed or was employed on lesser wages. If the employer wants to avoid payment of full
back wages, then it has to plead and also lead cogent evidence to prove that the employee/
workman was gainfully employed and was getting wages equal to the wages he/she was
drawing prior to the termination of service. This is so because it is settled law that the
burden of proof of the existence of a particular fact lies on the person who makes a positive
averments about its existence. It is always easier to prove a positive fact than to prove a
negative fact. Therefore, once the employee shows that he was not employed, the onus lies
on the employer to specifically plead and prove that the employee was gainfully employed
and was getting the same or substantially similar emoluments.
38.4. The cases in which the Labour Court/Industrial Tribunal exercises power under
Section 11- A of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 and finds that even though the enquiry2072 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
held against the employee/ workman is consistent with the rules of natural justice and/or
certified standing orders, if any, but holds that the punishment was disproportionate to the
misconduct found proved then it will have the discretion not to award fullback wages.
However, if the Labour Court/Industrial Tribunal finds that the employee or workman is
not at all guilty of any misconduct or that the employer had foisted a false charges then
there will be ample justification for award of full back wages.
38.5. The cases in which the competent Court or Tribunal finds that the employer has acted
in gross violation of the statutory provisions and/or the principles of natural justice or is
guilty of victimizing the employee or workman, then the concerned Court or Tribunal will
be fully justified in directing payment of full back wages. In such cases, the superior Court
should not exercise power under Article 226 or 136 of the Constitution and interfere with
the award passed by the Labour Court, etc., merely because there is a possibility of forming
a different opinion on the entitlement of the employee/workman to get full back wages or
the employer’s obligation to pay the same. The Courts must always be kept in view that in
the cases of wrongful/illegal termination of service, the wrong doer is the employer and
sufferer is the employee/workman and there is justification to give premium to,the
employer of his wrong doings by relieving him of the burden to pay to the
employee/workman his dues in the form of full back wages.
38.6 In a number of cases, the superior Courts have interfered with the award of the
primary adjudicatory authority on the premise that finalization of litigation has taken long
time ignoring that in majority of cases the parties are not responsible for such delays. Lack
of infrastructure and manpower is the principal cause for delay in the disposal of cases. For
this the litigants cannot be blamed or penalised. It would amount to grave injustice to an
employee or workman if he is denied back wages simply because there is long lapse of time
between the termination of his service and finality given to the order of reinstatement. The
Courts should bear in mind that in most of these cases, the employer is in an advantageous
position vis-à-vis the employee or workman. He can avail the services of best legal brain for
prolonging the agony of the sufferer, i.e., the employee or workman, who can ill afford the
luxury of spending money on a lawyer with certain amount of fame. Therefore, in such
cases, it would be prudent to adopt the course suggested in Hindustan Tin works Private
Limited V.Employees of Hindustan TinWorks Private Limited (supra).
38.7 The observation made inJ.K. Synthetics Ltd. V. K.P.Agrawal (supra) that on
reinstatement the employee/workman cannot claim continuity of service as of right is
contrary to the ratio of the judgments of three Judge Benches referred to here-in-above and
cannot be treated as good law.This part of the judgment is also against the very concept of
reinstatement of an employee/workman.
Furthermore, in Tapash Kumar Paul V. BSNL (2014) 4 SCR 875 :[2014(6) SLR 538 (SC)], it
is held :-
“Therefore, in the light of the decision of this Court in Deepali Gundu’s case (supra) which
has correctly relied upon higher bench decisions of this Court in Surendra Kumar Verma’s
case (supra) and Hindustan Tin Works Pvt. Ltd. (supra), I am of the opinion that the
appellant herein is entitled to reinstatement with full back wages since in the absence of full
back wages, the employee will be distressed and will suffer punishment for no fault of his
own.”
19. .”In the light of the aforesaid principles, keeping in view the length of engagement of workman,
ends of justice will be served if the workman are reinstated as daily wager but without back wages.
Hence they are held entitled to be reinstated without back wages.
20. On the basis of the above discussion, following award is passed:-
A. The action of the managementof Central Potato Research Station, Gwalior in
terminating the services of their workman (Shri Jagdish Pal & 46 Others) as per
annexure, w.e.f 1-5-2004, is unjustified in law.
B. The workman are held entitled to be reinstated without back wages.
21. Let the copies of the award be sent to the Government of India, Ministry of Labour &
Employment as per rules.

under Sec.10(1)(d) of the I.D. Act.,1947 has referred the following dispute to this Tribunal for
adjudication vide their Order No. L-40012/154/96-IR (DU) dt. 10.03.1998.
SCHEDULE
Whether the action of the management of Postal Department in terminating the services
of Sh.Arvind Kumar Sharma, E.D., Post Master, Sarasat, Branch Post Office is legal and
justified? If not, to what relief the workman is entitled to?”
1. On receipt of the Order No. L-40012/154/96-IR (DU) dt. 10.03.1998 of the reference from the
Government of India, Ministry of Labour & Employment, New Delhi for adjudication of the dispute,
it was registered as Reference case No. 67 of 1998 on 23.03.1998 and accordingly an order to that
effect was passed to issue notices through the Registered Post to the parties concerned, directing them
to appear before the Tribunal on the date fixed and to file their written statements along with the
relevant documents. In pursuance of the said order, notices by the Registered Post were sent to the
parties concerned.
02. Consequent upon registration the case as Ref. No. 67 of 1998 as referred by the Government of
India vide its letter No. Order No. L-40012/154/96-IR (DU) dt. 10.03.1998 the case was set in
rolling on 23.03.1998 with filing of the Written Statement and subsequent counter claim by the
Management of Superintendent of the Post Offices, Patna followed by rejoinders filed against each
other with exchange of copy and vice versa, The matter was further advanced and adduced by the
workman man /Petitioner on 06.03.2003 but it stopped over argument on the side of the Management
as they did not complete evidence on its part. So the matter switched over to arguments. The
O.P./Management kept on buying time. Finally at the last leg of the proceedings at argument stage the
O.P./Management and petitioner/workman appeared on 21.01.2021 and Management moved a
withdrawal petition submitted by the workman expressing therein unwillingness to contest the
Industrial Dispute any more due to personal reason. The concerned workman was present during this
hearing and reiterated in writing on the face of the withdrawal petition in presence of the Management
Representative in the open Court. The Management submitted that they agree for withdrawal of the
dispute as submitted by the workman .So the case matter in the Industrial Dispute was concluded for
hearing and passing of Award/Order to answer the Reference.
03. Considering the background and facts of the case to adjudicate the matter on contest the
workman/petitioner enclosing the Withdrawal petition dated 19.01.2021 submitted again a fresh
petition before the Tribunal in the presence of the Representative of the O.P./Management in the open
Court the Tribunal’s role becomes functus officio and has no scope to move ahead for adjudication
along with the statements and submissions made so far becoming infructuous. With the filing of the
“Withdrawal Letter” and confirming the same by the workman, the issue in the case matter of dispute
appear to be of no more to exist..The dispute is thus diluted and thus absolved of the issue under
which the Reference was framed .Accordingly the Industrial Dispute by and between the parties being
treated as non-existent stands disposed of forthwith with no relief.

“Whether the action of the management of National Institute of Technology(NIT),
Kurukshetra in not accepting the demands of the Union Mess Kalyan Employees
Union(Mess Kalyan Karamchari Sangh), National Institute of Technology,2076 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
Kurukshetra is legal and justified? If not, what relief the workmen is entitled to and
from which date?
1. The instant claim petition has been preferred by the Mess Kalyan Employees Union, claiming to
represent the workers employed in the hostels being run in the Campus of Regional Engineering
College which is subsequently upgraded as National Institute of Technology vide Notification
dated 26.02.2002 issued by the Government of India, Ministry of Human Resources, New Delhi
and is now been fully funded by the Government of India. The Union has preferred this claim
petition for redressal of the grievances of the employees relating to their working conditions such
as regularization of their services and for grant of regular pay scale at par with the State/Central
Govt. Employees and for various other service benefits. Union also approached the Hon’ble High
Court of Punjab & Haryana by filing CWP No.17988 of 1996 where it is directed to raise the
dispute before the competent forum. The members of the Union have been working in the hostels
run by the institute and they are working on the various posts known as Supervisor, Head Cook,
Assistant Cook, Cook, Counterman, Lady Attendant, Waiter, Common Room Attendant, Chapati
Man, Kitchen Man, Sweeper, Pantry Man etc. The workers have been working continuously for
considerable period i.e. 12 to 35 years. The workers have been appointed by the Warden with the
approval of Chief Warden without any appointment letter on a very meager salary which is less
then the minimum pay scale. The management deducts the CPF amount as workers share and
equal amount is contributed by the institute. The accounts are in the name of the employees and
the interest drawn on the amount of CPF/EPF is quite low as compare to the interest rate granted
by the EPF organization. All administrative decisions relating to terms and conditions of service
of the employees and the facilities and incentives to be given to the employees are taken by the
Chief Warden/BOR and workers working in the hostel are the employees of the Institute for all
intents and purposes. The State Government issued a regularization policy on 27.05.1995 vide
which the casual and daily rated employees who completed 5 years service on 31.03.1993 were
ordered to be regularized and they were required to be put in the regular pay scale(Annexure W2).
The management is employer of the workers and there exist master and servant relationship
between the workers and management. The management have adopted the regularization policy
framed by the Haryana Government and regularized large number of employees but the said
policy has not been made applicable to the workers working in the hostels as such, the
management has acted in total arbitrary and discriminatory manner and the workers suffered
hostile discrimination at the hands of the management. It is therefore prayed the above demands
i.e. regularization and consequential benefits may kindly be ordered to be accepted and the
appropriate orders be passed directing the management to do the needful.
2. Management has replied through his written statement, alleging therein that the institute initially
known as Regional Engineering College was set up by the Government of India, Ministry of
Scientific Research and Cultural Affairs, New Delhi vide letter dated 26.02.1962. However, vide
notification dated 26.02.2002 issued by Government of India, Ministry of Human Resources
Development(Department of Secondary and Higher Education), New Delhi, the Regional
Engineering College has been upgraded as National Institute of Technology and is now being
fully funded by the Government of India. There is no relationship of employer and employee
between the Institute in the Mess Workers and there being no sanctioned cadre post. Mess
Workers are not entitled to regular pay structure and other service benefits as admissible to
regular employees. However, the Mess Worker are given free food, uniform, accommodation for
residential purposes, liveries, washing soap etc, they are also allowed 15 days paid casual leave
every year and full pay during vacations in the colleges when the messes remain closed and are
also allowed to draw ration from Mess during the period, a particular mess remains closed, in
case the prefer to stay in the hostel. The hostel mess is being run by the students residing in the
respective hostels on cooperative basis on no profit no loss basis and are being managed by the
students mess committees. The mess committees engage the workers like Supervisors, Cooks,
Bearers, Chapati man etc. and pay them wages out of the contributions made by the students. The
institute makes no financial contribution towards running of these messes as such, there is n
relationship of employer and employees between them. It is wrong that role of the students mess
committee is very limited and concerned only to the satisfaction of food to their choice. The pay
bills of the workers engaged in the mess are prepared by MMCA, which are put up to the mess
committee and it is only after approval of the mess committee through Mess Secretary/Designated[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2077
Member the payments of salary is released. A mess worker contributes an amount equivalent to
one year salary and matching amount is contributed by the students through their monthly
contribution. The passbook record is maintained in the hostel and the individual worker is
allowed to avail loan as and when it is deemed fir and in case of worker leaving the job the
account is closed and payment is made as per rule. The mess workers are given free food,
uniform, accommodation for residential purposes, liveries, washing soap etc. and are also allowed
15 days paid casual leave every year and full pay during vacations in the colleges when the mess
remains closed. It is wrong that mess workers are getting less than the minimum wages, they are
getting more than the minimum wages. It is therefore, prayed that the claim petition is not
maintainable and is liable to be dismissed.
3. Workmen-Union has filed replication to the written statement filed by the management, alleging
therein that management have taken a totally false and frivolous plea that institute never
employed mess employees and paid salary and one or two teaching staff member with each mess
acts as a Coordinating Advisory Body for all the messes together and to ensure uniformity of
working of the various messes and institute makes no financial contribution towards running of
messes particularly the payment of salaries. The management taking self contradictory pleas
which are diametrically opposite to each other. Without passing the order by the Warden no
payment can be made to any worker and all the funds are being managed by the Warden and not
by the mess committee. The management has not denied the existence and the authenticity of the
documents W-1 and W-44. The remaining paras in the replication are same as such, need not to
be repeated again.
4. In order to prove the facts alleged in the claim petition, workmen-Union has examined
Dharmender Singh, one of workmen who has submitted his affidavit as Ex.WW1/A along with
documents Ex.AW-1 to AW-53 and cross-examined by the learned counsel of the management.
This witness has stated in his cross-examination that there are many workers who have been
engaged prior to him and some are working for the last 30 to 35 years. He has further stated that
nobody has been regularized out of the workers engaged in the mess under the policy issued by
the State of Haryana and messes are being run through cooperative system.
5. Management has submitted affidavit of witness Dr. Jitender Kumar, Associate Professor/Deputy
Chief Warden, NIT Kurukshetra, who submitted his affidavit as Ex.MW1/A along with
documents Ex.MW1/1 and MW1/2 and cross-examined by the learned AR of the workmen. This
witness has stated in his cross-examination that the recommendation and proposal of the mess
committee is finally look after by the Chief Warden and he is the final authority. He has further
admitted that the rules have been made on the basis of the recommendation made by the different
mess committees by the Warden and Chief Warden. He has further stated that order regarding the
terms and conditions governed by the management have been issued separately. The employees
are sanctioned loan by the Warden of the concerned-hostel. Employees are appointed and
retrenched on the basis of the mess committee by the concerned hostel-Warden.
6. I have heard the learned AR for the workmen Sh. Dinesh Kumar as well as learned counsel of the
management Sh. Amarjit Singh Virk and perused the file.
7. Learned counsel of the claimant-union argued in the light of the written arguments that the
documents filed by the claimant-union Ex.AW1 to AW-53 are positive and convincing proof that
NIT-Kurukshetra has full control with respect to the disbursement of salary, increment, transfer
and disciplinary action etc. against the workers of union and it clearly prove that financial as well
as administrative control and supervision of the workers of the union is with the management of
NIT-Kurukshetra. Learned counsel of the workers-union referred the documents attached with the
affidavit of the witness Dharmender Singh one of workmen who has submitted his affidavit as
Ex.WW1/A along with documents Ex.AW-1 to AW-53 on behalf of the workers-union and
contended that the constitution of the rules and regulations of the Mess Committee is also proof
that financial and administrative control lies with the administration of NIT-Kurukshetra through
Chief Warden and other employees of the institute itself. Learned counsel further contended that
there is no any independent identity of the Mess Committee or any statutorily provision regarding
its formation and functioning and workers are engaged by Mess Committee subject to the final
approval of the Warden of the respective hostels for preparing meals, breakfast etc. for the2078 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
students of the respective hostels. Learned counsel further contended that in fact workers
mentioned in the list attached with the claim petition are the employees of the NIT-Kurukshetra
and there exists relationship of employer and employee. Mere fact that Mess Committee is
engaged with the management of workers does not prove that Chief Warden/Warden or service
provider of the Hostel did not have actual control and supervision on the staff of the Mess
Committee. As per the argument of the learned counsel of the claimant workers of the union are
serving management from last 12 to 35 years and their services have not been regularized on the
pretext of that they are not the employees of the institute. Learned counsel contended that taking
regular work from the members of the claimant-union for such a long time amounts unfair labour
practice as is held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in so many judgments. Learned counsel placing
reliance in the case of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporaiton Ltd. Vs. Casterbe Rajya
Parivahan Karamchari Sanghalana, (2009) 8 SCC 556(in short “Casterbe”), argued that
observation of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Uma Devi Case is distinguished and Hon’ble
Supreme Court has held that Industrial/Labour Court under the Act has got specific power to take
affirmative action against the erring employers and orders can well be made to accord
permanency to the employers affected by such unfair labour practice. Learned counsel of the
claimant-union has placed reliance in the cases of decided by the Hon’ble Supreme Court Bidi,
Bidi Leaves and Tobacco Merchants’ Association, Gondia and others Vs. State of Bombay,
Civil Appeals Nos.415 of 1960, decided on 15.11.1961, The Bharat Bank, Ltd. Delhi Vs. The

8. The learned counsel of management of NIT-Kurukshetra argued in the line of written argument
that there is no relationship of employer and employee between the institute with Mess Workers
and there is no sanctioned post hence, workers are not entitled to regular pay scale and other
service benefits as admissible to regular employees. Learned counsel further contended that hostel
mess are being run by the students residing in hostels on cooperative basis on no profit no loss
basis and are being managed by the students mess committees who not only engaged the workers
like Supervisors, Cooks, Bearers, Chapatiman etc. and pay them wages out of the contributions
made by the students. As per the learned counsel, there is no financial contribution towards
running of these messes by the institute and it had never employed mess employees nor paid any
salary to the employees as such, there is no relationship of employer and employee between them.
Learned counsel further contended that in order to ensure uniformity of working of various
messes, it becomes desirable to associate one or two teaching staff member with each mess and to
have a coordinating advisory body for all the messes. Since the hostels are situated in the campus
of the institute as such, the basic infrastructure is being provided by the institute. The institute has
provided staff comprising Mess Manager-cum-Accountant, Clerks, Farash, Chowkidars,
Sweepers and Mali for the smooth functioning of the mess to avoid any problems to the students
residing in the hostels. As per the learned counsel, there is no sanctioned post for workers like
Supervisors, Cooks, Bearers, Chapatiman etc. and there is no provision for CPF for the mess-
workers. However on their requests, a welfare fund was constituted of mess workers who
contribute an amount equivalent to one year salary and matching amount is contributed by the
students through their monthly contribution and the same was being deposited in the bank-
account. Learned counsel vehemently contended that there does not exists any financial or
administrative control of the NIT-Kurukshetra-management over the workers working there and
payment or salary etc. of the members of the union as such, claim petition preferred by the union
on behalf of their members has no force and award is liable to be answered in negative. Learned
counsel has placed reliance in the cases of Secretary of Karnataka and others Vs. Umadevi and
others, Civil Appeal Nos.3595-3612 of 1999, decided on 10.04.2006, Hindustan Aeronautics[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2079

2007, U.P. Power Corporation Ltd. and another Vs. Bijli Mazdoor Sangh and others, Civil
Appeal No.2541 of 2005, decided on April 17, 2007, V.K. Sharma Vs. Union of India. CW
No.1393 of 1996, decided on 31.08.2001, MMTC Ltd. Vs. The Learned Fourth Industrial
Tribunal and others, 2014 SCC Online Cal 17668(2015) 144 FLR 484 as well as in the case of
Yogesh Tyagi and another Vs. State of Haryana and others, CWP No.17206 of 2014(O&M),
decided on 31.05.2018
9. Before entering into the merit of the case, it will be pertinent to mention those facts which are
either admitted between the parties or not controverted by the management in its pleadings or
evidence. The employment of members of the union mentioned in the list attached with the claim
petition numbering 250 with the mess, the date of joining mentioned in the list are neither denied
nor controverted by the management in its pleadings. Similarly, it is also not disputed that they
are rendering their services continuously to the different hostels till today without any break in
service. There is no dispute that management/respondents did not initiate proceeding for their
regularization in the light of the judgment of Uma Devi case or regularization policy issued by the
Government. It is also not disputed that entire building of the mess furniture and other facilities
are part and parcel of the institute and there are so many working employees in the form of Mess
Manager-cum-Accountant, Clerks, Farash, Chowkidars, Sweepers and Mali for the smooth
functioning of the mess to avoid any problems to the students residing in the hostels.
10. The first question which arises for consideration relates to the relationship of employer and
employee between the employees of the union as well as management of NIT-Kurukshetra. There
is no dispute about preposition of law that onus to prove that claimant was in the employment of
management is always on the workman/claimant and it is for the workman to adduce evidence to
prove factum of his employment with the management. Such evidence may be in form of receipt
of salary or wages for 240 days or record of his/her appointment or engagement for that year to
show that he worked with the employer for 240 days or more in a calendar year. In this
connection reference may be made to Batala Coop. Sugar Mills Ltd. Vs. Sowaran Singh, (2005)
8 Supreme Court Cases 481 as well as Director Fisheries Terminated Division Vs. Bhikubhai
Mehgajibhai Gavda (2012) 1 SCC 47.
11. No doubt, Hon’ble Supreme Court after analysing the catena of cases has laid down in Balwant
Raj Saluja Vs. Air India Limited in Civil Appeal No.10266 dated 25.08.2014, has observed two
well recognised tests to find out whether the relation of employer and employee i.e. payment of
salary, control and supervision of work. In fact, it is a question of fact in each case whether the
relationship of master and servant exists between the management and workman and there is no
abstract a priori test of work, control required by establishing the control of service. Apart from
this, in several other judgments, the Hon’ble Apex Court has held that question of fact of each
case with respect to the relationship of employer and employee, master and servant is not an
abstract a priority test of working control required for establishing control and service. In fact
apart from financial and control test it is also held in several judgments that Tribunal is required
to consider similar factors which have appear for result (a) who is appointing authority (b) who
has pay (c) who can dismiss the alternative service (d) the exact control and supervision (e)
whether it is professional or skilled work (f) nature of establishment (g) the right to reserve. Thus,
factual position of case along with the documents filed by the respective parties has to be
examined and discussed to find out the relation between workmen and management of NIT-
Kurukshetra
12. Learned counsel of the management has contended that there is nothing on record to prove that
workers of the union has been engaged by the NIT-Kurukshetra and it has control over the
employees of the mess but the mess committee which has specific role in the matter of
management and control of mess. Since there exists no evidence whatsoever on record that the
employees working in the mess were appointed by the NIT-Management in accordance with the
provisions contained in the Act or the statute framed therein, question of being master and servant
would not arise. Contrary to this, learned counsel of the claimant-union contended that messes of
the respective hostels are integral part of NIT-Kurukshetra and the same have been established
and are maintained by the authorities of the institute. The employees engaged in the mess work
under the supervision and control of the authorities of the institute as such, there exists strong2080 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
relationship of employer and employee between the mess workers as well as NIT-Kurukshetra. In
this connection, learned counsel of the claimant-union has drawn my attention towards the
documents filed and proved by the witness of the workmen-union namely Dharmender Singh
through his affidavit Ex.WW1/A along with documents Ex.AW-1 to AW-53 and contended that
mess employees are treated as regular mess-employees and their exists relations of master and
servant between the NIT-Kurukshetra and mess-employees. It can be observed that there is no
middle man or contractor between workers and mess committee is associated only for limited
purposes which go on changing every year but the employees remain their forever. It is pertinent
to mention that Ex. AW-15 filed by the witness namely Dharmender which are on record relates
to the hostel rules which denotes that mess is run on cooperative basis with the students under the
overall supervision of Warden. As per the rules the mess committee shall be constituted from the
students and shall function only after the approval of the Warden who has right to remove any
mess committee member(student) in the interest of the hostel. The staff engaged for the smooth
functioning of the mess has to be recommended by the mess committee which shall be
implemented after the approval of the Chief Warden. Workers-counsel has cross-examined the
witness of the management namely Dr. Jitender Kumar, Associate Professor/Deputy Chief
Warden, NIT Kurukshetra, who submitted his affidavit as Ex.MW1/A along with documents
Ex.MW1/1 and MW1/2. He has admitted that the recommendation of proposal of the mess
committee is finally look after by the Chief Warden who has final authority. He has also admitted
that the order regarding the terms and conditions governing by the management have been issued
separately. In fact, documents filed by the workers-union through witness Dharmender Singh as
Ex.AW-1 to Ex.AW-53 relates with the minutes of meeting, regularization policy, orders of
granting of additional DA, retirement order, relieving and posting of certain employees,
imposing the punishment, granting of ad-hoc relief, granting of additional increment to
mess workers, medical leave etc., bill relating to the payment of salary of the staff of hostel
no.2, the mass transfer of employees from one mess to another hostel passed by the Chief
Warden, increase of various allowance and payment of one year salary on the death of an
employee towards compensation, raising of medical allowances, compensatory leave,
deduction of CPF rates, introduction of EPF Scheme, purchase of uniform of the mess staff,
granting of financial benefits on the retirement of an employee, revision of pay scale and
special hostel for mess staff w.e.f. 01.01.2006 and deduction of CPF @ 10% on the basic pay,
grant of one additional increment on the completion of 10 years to mess workers dully
signed by the Warden and Chief Warden or the other staff of the institute apart from the
suspension order dated 20.02.2015 of the Chief Warden Ex.AW-39, order regarding
initiation of disciplinary action against the mess staff, termination of Lela Devi dated
12.02.2016, suspension of the order dated 12.02.2016 denotes that it is the official of the
institute working as Warden or Chief Warden who are taking administrative action related
to the suspension, termination etc. with respect to the workers related to the different mess
of the institute. Thus, the documents filed by the workers through its witness namely
Dharmender Singh reveals that it is the NIT-Kurukshetra who has all time to control and
administrative-authority to run the mess with the aid and advice of the mess committee. It is not
disputed that the workers of the mess numbering 250 mentioned in the list are rendering their
services from decades showing that they are skilled workers for mess working and the institute as
well as hostels has to travel a long journey for its purpose and object of education. Thus, it cannot
be disputed that the mess services is essential for the efficient working of the students without
whom the existence of NIT-Kurukshetra cannot be imagined
13. Furthermore, the documents filed by the workers-union as Ex.AW1 to Ex.AW53 reveals that
entire claimants/workers work under the direct supervision for the Warden/Assistant Warden in
accordance with the advice of the food committee and under the control and supervision of the
Chief Warden. All cases of administration regarding the increment, allowances, suspension,
termination and other punishments etc. has been dealt by the Warden or Chief Warden in
consultation with the Warden and the food committee. Undoubtedly ,there is no specific evidence
with respect to the engagement of the claimants/workers by the NIT-Kurukshetra but it is proved
that different mess committee of the hostel is responsible for the appointment of the workers
subject to the approval of the Warden/Chief Warden. Similarly, Warden has full financial control
of the hostels and for the purpose of accounting and other staff has been provided by the institute[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2081
which is not disputed between the parties. The rules and regulations pertaining to the smooth
running and functioning of the hostels mess do not warrant any other conclusion than to treat an
essential requirement. So far as the minutes of the meeting of the hostel is concerned, the
involvement of the Warden and Chief Warden, Accountant, Attendant who are admittedly all
belonging to the institute as employees thereof cannot negate the cry of the workers being
employee of the institute itself. Thus, the documents attached with the file, the statement of the
workers-union witness namely Dharmender as well as management witness Dr. Jitender Kumar,
Associate Professor/Deputy Chief Warden makes it crystal clear that mess workers are the
employees of the NIT-Kurukshetra and they are rendering their services for more than decades.
14. Learned counsel of the management contended that merely because NIT-Kurukshetra provided
building of hostel, furniture, mess and staff for running of the mess does not mean that the
members of the claimant-union workers can be treated as they are employees. Similarly, it is also
argued that it does not give rise to the assumption that control and supervision over the mess
employees is exercised by the NIT-Kurukshetra or Chief Warden. As per the learned counsel of
the management, the mess committee has a separate entity then the NIT-Kurukshetra which is
related to the students and officers of the NIT-Institute is only to assist them the amount deposited
by the students is retained by the NIT-Management as trustee could not make it employer of the
workers. These arguments do not find support from the voluminous documents filed by the
workers-union. In fact NIT-Kurukshetra has failed to produce any rules and regulations under
which the mess committee is constituted or it has separate entity. Whether or not the workmen in
question are employees of the NIT-Kurukshetra has to be examined on the basis of the evidence
that is adduced before this Tribunal. In fact, the contribution of the students regarding the mess is
released by the accountant of the mess supplied by the institute of NIT-Kurukshetra and such
amount is retained by the accountant and payment of salary is made accordingly. Hence, it cannot
be accepted that NIT-Kurukshetra is only custodian of the money. I am of the considered opinion
that in the absence of any rules and regulations with respect to the running of mess of the
different hostels appears to be a method of device to deprive the workmen from their legitimate
entitlements. The mess committees of the hostels has not a corporate entity or having distinct
individuality. It appears that this is a committee formed as per the requirement of the hostels and
members of the mess committee supported the management. The mess committee is not even like
and arrangement with an independent contractor. Moreover, even a person employed through a
contractor can be taken to an employee of the member who engage the contractor. The
overwhelming evidence of record reveals that the employment of the workmen through mess
committee which is nothing but a body formulated by the NIT-Kurukshetra to carry a day to day
functioning and to look after the daily course of the mess.
15. Learned counsel of the NIT-Kurukshetra further contended that the principle laid down in the
case of Uma Devi case(supra) is duly followed in the case of Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. Vs.
Dan Bahadur Singh and others(supra), as well as in the case of U.P. Power Corporation Ltd.
and another Vs. Bijli Mazdoor Sangh and others. As per the learned counsel of the NIT-
Kurukshetra, this Tribunal has got no power to direct regularization of the union-workers as well
as other benefits mentioned in the claim petition because its amount creation of posts which is in
domain of the executive and not of the Tribunal. Further learned counsel contended that it will be
violation of Article 14 of the Constitution of India because all the workers are not duly engaged
employees of the NIT-Kurukshetra as such, union-workers are not authorized for regularization.
Contrary to this, learned counsel of the union-workers has drawn my attention towards the
judgment of Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporaiton Ltd. Vs. Casterbe Rajya
Parivahan Karamchari Sanghalana, (2009) 8 SCC 556(in short “Casterbe”), arguing that this
judgment of the Hon’ble Apex Courts culls out the ratio of the judgment of Umadevi and holds it
as a verdict not applicable to industrial workers or workmen by definition to whom the protective
rights flowing from Entry 10 of the Fifth Schedule of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947,
employing by way of unfair labour practice(workmen as badlis, casual or temporaries and
continue for them as such years with the object of depriving them of the status and privileges of
permanent workmen). Undoubtedly, the Constitution Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in
Umadevi(supra) case has directed regularization of those workers who have extended 10 years
or more than 10 years of service on the date of judgment against duly sanctioned post but not
covered under the order of Courts or of Tribunals for one time regularization. The question which2082 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
arises for consideration is whether judgment of Umadevi stands distinguished and explained in
the landmark judgment delivered by the Court in Casterbe. The judgment of the Supreme Court
dealt with the State Law of Maharashtra cited as The Maharasthra Recognition of Trade Unions
and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practice Act, 1971, (MRTU & PULP Act). The Court dealt
with Section 21(1) and its proviso; Schedule IV Items 2, 5, 6 and 9 and especially with Item 6
which is in pari material with the provisions of Entry 10 of the 5th Schedule to the Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947, the commonality being a facet of unfair labour practice to keep workmen as
badlis, casuals or temporaries and to continue them as such “for years” with the object of
depriving them of the status and previleges of permanent workmen. The Constitution Bench in
Umadevi was explained in Para 35 in Casterbe as follows:-
35. Umadevi (3) 1 is an authoritative pronouncement for the proposition that the
Supreme Court (Article 32) and the High Courts (Article 226) should not issue
directions of absorption, regularization or permanent continuance of temporary,
contractual, casual, daily wage or ad hoc employees unless the recruitment itself
was made regularly in terms of the constitutional scheme.
36. Umadevi (3)1 does not denude the Industrial and Labour Courts of their
statutory power under Section 30 read with Section 32 of the MRTU and PULP Act
to order permanency of the workers who have been victims of unfair labour practice
on the part of the employer under Item 6 of Schedule IV where the posts on which
they have been working exist. Umadevi (3) cannot be held to have overridden the
powers of the Industrial and Labour Courts in passing appropriate order under
Section 30 of the MRTU and PULP Act, once unfair labour practice on the part of
the employer under Item 6 of Schedule IV is established.”
The Hon’ble Court in the case of Casteribe has rejected the argument raised by the
corporation by observing that Industrial/Labour Court under the Act has got specific power
to take affirmative action against the erring employers and orders can well be made to accord
permanency to the employers affected by such unfair labour practice. However, the victims
of unfair labour practice of the employer deserve freedom of permanency where facts and
circumstanced demand in the canvas of Casteribe.
16. It is pertinent to mention that the judgment of Casteribe dealt with MRTU & PULP Act enacted
by the State of Maharashtra but the provisions of unfair labour practice are identical to Entry 10
of the 5th Schedule to the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Entry 10 is a statutory protection against
individual discrimination and exploitation provided the discrimination continues ‘for years’. It
would follow that short duration of employment is per se not violative of Entry 10 of the Act and
length of employment becomes relevant consideration to examine unfair labour practice issues. In
Umadevi the Constitution Bench protected regularization done but those appointments which
were not sub judice could not be reopened. In terms of Umadevi, a distinction will have to be kept
in mind between irregular appointments and illegal ones in view of the directions in para 44 to
para 46, and thus a distinction would also have to be kept in mind between regularization and
giving permanency.
17. Though Casteribe is a case arising out of industrial adjudication on a complaint made by the
Union of workers that the affected employees were engaged by the Corporation as casual
labourers for cleaning the buses between 198-1985 but the contested issue before the labour
tribunal was whether the workers could be granted the status of permanency on par with other
permanent cleaners. The Industrial Court, Bombay held that the complaint regarding unfair labour
practice against the Corporation under Item 6 of Schedule IV was not maintainable. However, the
complaints were maintainable in respect of the unfair labour practice under items 5, 9 and 10. A
finding was returned that unfair labour practice has been committed under items 5 and 9 of
schedule IV, Section 30 of the Maharashtra State Act empowers the Industrial and the Labour
Courts to decide on any person named in the complaint if he has engaged in or is engaging in any
unfair labour practice. It may in its order give declarations and directions accordingly. Items 5, 6
and 9 of Schedule IV to the MRTU & PULP Acts need to be seen. They read:-
“5. To show favouritism or partiality to one set of workers, regardless of merits.[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2083
1. To employ employees as “badlis”, casuals or temporaries and to continue
them as such for years, with the object of depriving them of the status and
privileges of permanent employees.
9. Failure to implement award, settlement or agreement.”
18. Item 6 of Schedule IV is identical to Entry 10 of the 5th Schedule to the Central Act and,
therefore, would suffer common interpretation. The expression “unfair labour practice” in Section
2(ra) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 is defined to mean any of the practices specified in the
5th Schedule. It may be noted that the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 does not contain a provision
like Section 30 of the MRTU & PULP Act in Maharashtra. Unfair labour practice in the Central
Act are placed in Chapter VC. Section 25T and 25U deal with prohibition and penalty for
committing unfair labour practice. Thus, there is a complete statutory prohibition against an
employer, workmen or trade union against committing an unfair labour practice. Though the
consequences of violating the provisions of Section 25T of the Industrial Disputes Act is
punishment with imprisonment but that does not mean that the Labour Court is barred to exercise
its powers of making declarations and issuing directions where a prima facie case is made out of
violation of the law. In fact, Entry 10 of the 5th schedule is a rule against exploitation. It is a rule
against modern day slavery and against unfair domination. Unfair labour practice is akin to unfair
discrimination. They both belong to the same family. Entry 10 of the Central Act and Entry 6 of
the Maharashtra Act pre-supposes that a body of workers under the same employer and doing the
same thing are permanent while others not. Unfair labour practice would thus fall in the same
cluster of grounds of challenge of administrative action as those when the Writ Court deals with
in cases of malafides, malice in law, malice in fact, bias, colourable exercise or power or abuse of
authority and so on and so forth. Merely because the Central Act does not contain specific
provisions such as those in MRTU & PULP Act and of Section 30 thereof, it would not denude
this Tribunal to remove unfair discrimination whenever found in the light of discussion of
Casteribe case.
19. It is a settled law that in order to constitute an unfair labour practice under Section 2(ra) read with
Item 10 of the Vth Schedule of the ID Act, the employer should be engaging workmen as
temporary or casual and continuing them for years with the object of depriving them of the
benefits payable to regular workmen. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Durgapur
Casual Workers Union and Oths. Vs. Food Corporation of India, Civil Appeal No.10856 of
2014, dated 09.12.2014, has held that continued casualisation of service of workman amounts to
unfair labour practice. In this case, the Hon’ble Supreme Court has observed that management
was rightly directed by the Tribunal to absorb the workman. In the case of The workmen of
Bhurkunda Colliery of M/s Central Coalfields Ltd. Vs. The Management of Bhurkunda
Colliery of M/s Central Coalfields Ltd., arising out of Civil Appeal No.1600 of 2005 dated
27.01.2006, the Hon’ble Supreme Court dealing with the casual labour and work charged
employees has held that if a casual labours work continuously of 2-3 years regular need of the
service is presumed. Undoubtedly, the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act is made for the
settlement of Industrial Disputes and for certain other provisions mentioned therein. The Act
prohibits unfair labour practice on the part of employer in engaging employees as casual or
temporary employees for long period without giving them the status and privileges of permanent
employees as is held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of Umrala Gram Paychayat Vs.
The Secretary, Municipal Employees Union, arising out of Civil Appeal No.3209-3210/2015,
dated 27.03.2015. In this case, the order of Tribunal for regularization of Safai workers has been
upheld by the Hon’ble Supreme Court. Similarly, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in case of
Narendra Kumar Tiwari & others versus State of Jharkhand & others, civil appeal nos.7423-
7429 of 2018 (arising out of S.L.P. (Civil) Nos.19832-19838 of 2017), has held that the
Regularization Rules must be given pragmative interpretation and order for regularization for
those employees who has rendered service of 10 years or more from the date of the promulgation
of the Regularization Rules unless there is same valid objection to their regularization like
misconduct etc. Claimants/workmen are rendering their services for more than 15 years as casual
assignees uninterruptedly without regularization which amounts unfair labour practice of the Act.
20. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in Narendra Kumar Tiwari & others versus State of Jharkhand &
others, civil appeal nos.7423-7429 of 2018 (arising out of S.L.P. (Civil) Nos.19832-19838 of2084 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
2017) observed that the purpose and intent of the decision in Umadevi was two-fold: To prevent
irregular or illegal appointments in the future and secondly, to confer a benefit on those who had
been irregularly appointed in the past. The Apex Court observed that the fact that the State of
Jharkhand continued with the irregular appointments for almost a decade after the decision in
Umadevi (3) is a clear indication that it believes that it was all right to continue with irregular
appointments, and whenever required, terminate the services of the irregularly appointed
employees on the ground that they were irregularly appointed. The Apex Court held that this is
nothing but a form of exploitation of the employees by not giving them the benefits of
regularization and by placing the sword of Damocles over their head. This is precisely what
Umadevi (3) and Kesari sought to avoid.
21. So far as the case laws relied by the learned counsel of the NIT-Kurukshetra in the case of V.K.
Sharma Vs. Union of India, CW No.1393 of 1996, decided on 31.08.2001, MMTC Ltd. Vs. The
Learned Fourth Industrial Tribunal and others, 2014 SCC Online Cal 17668(2015) 144 FLR
484 as well as in the case of Yogesh Tyagi and another Vs. State of Haryana and others, CWP
No.17206 of 2014(O&M), decided on 31.05.2018 are concerned, the facts of the above
mentioned cases are already distinguishable because of the fact that workers engaged in different
establishments in the above mentioned cases are held not to an employee of the establishment and
there does not exists relationship of employer and employee as such, NIT-Kurukshetra is not
liable to get the benefit of these cases.
22. The case law relied by the learned counsel of the claimant-union in the case of Paimal Chandra
Raha Vs. Life Insurance Corporation of India, 1995(Supp.) 2 SCC 611, the Hon’ble Supreme
Court considered the question relating to the status of the employees work in the canteen and has
held that the canteen workers are employees of the corporation elaborating the principle in para
31 of the judgment where it is held that canteen services is essential for the efficiency working of
the employees/officials of the corporation. Although the supervising and managing committee of
the canteen has changed from time to time but the workers have remained constant. In the case of
Gujarat Agricultural University Vs. Rathod Labhu Bechar and others(supra), the Hon’ble
Supreme Court while examining the correctness of judgment given by the Allahabad High Court
to treat them as employees of the university and regular their services has upheld the judgment of
Hon’ble Allahabad High Court the regulations framed by it has observed as under:-
23. It is pertinent to mention that in case of Harjinder Singh Vs. Punjab State Warehousing
Corporation, (1020) 3 SCC 192, a sea change was brought about by a quick series of judgments
with Harjinder Singh in the lead. The Court's deep anguish in Courts contributing to emasculating
the original scheme of labour laws could not have been expressed with greater pathos than in
para. 30-31 which observations are significant in the present context and can be profitably
mentioned as follows:-
"30. Of late, there has been a visible shift in the courts approach in dealing with the
cases involving the interpretation of social welfare legislations. The attractive
mantras of globalization and liberalisation are fast becoming the raison d'etre of
the judicial process and an impression has been created that the constitutional
courts are no longer sympathetic towards the plight of industrial and unorganized
workers. In large number of cases like the Kumar Paritosh 2014.05.28 16:40 I attest
to the accuracy and integrity of this document CWP No.10017 of 2011 and
connected petitions 66 present one, relief has been denied to the employees falling
in the category of workmen, who are illegally retrenched from service by creating
by-lanes and side-lanes in the jurisprudence developed by this Court in three
decades. The stock plea raised by the public employer in such cases is that the initial
employment/engagement of the workman- employee was contrary to some or the
other statute or that reinstatement of the workman will put unbearable burden on
the financial health of the establishment. The courts have readily accepted such
plea unmindful of the accountability of the wrong doer and indirectly punished the
tiny beneficiary of the wrong ignoring the fact that he may have continued in the
employment for years together and that micro wages earned by him may be the only
source of his livelihood.[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2085
31. It need no emphasis that if a man is deprived of his livelihood, he is deprived of
all his fundamental and constitutional rights and for him the goal of social and
economic justice, equality of status and of opportunity, the freedoms enshrined in
the Constitution remain illusory. Therefore, the approach of the courts must be
compatible with the constitutional philosophy of which the Directive Principles of
State Policy constitute an integral part and justice due to the workman should not
be denied by entertaining the specious and untenable grounds put forward by the
employer - public or private."
24. In our opinion, the ratio of above noted judgment is clearly applicable to the case of claimants-
union. It is undisputed position that as on the date of filing of the claim petition, they have
completed more than 10 to 30 years of services as Supervisor, Head Cook, Assistant Cook, Cook,
Counterman, Lady Attendant, Waiter, Common Room Attendant, Chapati Man, Kitchen Man,
Sweeper, Pantry Man etc. Therefore, there could be no justification to deny them the benefit of
the policy of regularization on the ground that they were paid out of the student’s fund.
25. In view of the above factual and legal preposition and evidence on record and in view of my
aforesaid finding, claimants/workmen numbering 250 as mentioned in the list attached with the
claim petition deserve regularization. Hence, management of NIT-Kurukshetra is directed to
regularize the workmen/claimants to the grade of lowest-rank-employees of the NIT-Kurukshetra
in the regular pay scale from the date of completion of 10 years from their joining, with all
consequential benefits. The award is passed accordingly.
26. Let copy of this award be sent to Central Government for publication as required under Section
17 of the ID Act, 1947.

AWARD
This is an application filed by the claimant invoking the provisions of section 2A of Id Act
1947 seeking remedy against his alleged illegal termination by the management.
The facts pleaded by the claimant in short is that he was working as a daily wager in the
Central Warehousing Corporation since 10-15 years before his termination and reporting to the
Executive Engineer of Management No. 1 who is the management No.2 in this proceeding. He was
discharging the work of helper and the management was assuring him of regularization of his service
against the sanctioned post of Electrician, helper and Pump Operator. The management was adopting
unfair labour practice by not providing appointment letter to the claimant. Not only that he was not
made a member of ESI, EPF etc by the management. Being aggrieved the claimant was often raising
demand in this regard. In May 2015 the claimant came to know that the management instead of
regularizing his service in view of his long tenure of service rendered, had floated tenders for
engagement of Pump Operator, Electrician, helper, plumber and carpenter through contractors. When
the claimant sought legal advice he was asked to obtain information under RTI with regard to the
employment policy of the management. Though, the application in this regard was filed and received
by the management, instead of providing the information the management became annoyed and
caught hold of him and obtained his signature on some blank papers. He was threatened to be
implicated in theft case by utilizing the said signed blank paper if he would attempt to take any legal
action against the management. The claimant having no other remedy lodged a complaint at the local
Police Station. While Police took no action the management in a move of vindication, on the next date
prevented the claimant from entering into the premises of the management having the effect of oral,
illegal termination. The representation made by the claimant to the higher authorities of the
management was not considered. Thus, the claimant filed a writ petition before the High Court which[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2087
was later on withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh application. The subsequent application under RTI
Act filed by the claimant for supply of the recruitment rule also remained pending. The claimant thus,
filed the second writ petition before the Hon’ble High Court which was again dismissed as withdrawn
with a direction to approach the Central Government Industrial Tribunal. The claimant thereafter
approached the Assistant Labour Commissioner and Conciliation Officer where conciliation
proceeding was taken up but no fruitful result could be achieved. The conciliation officer provided a
failure report to the claimant. Hence, the present claim petition has been filed with a prayer to declare
the act of the management orally terminating the service of the claimant as illegal, arbitrary
unjustified and a direction to reinstate him into service with full back wages and all consequential
benefits.
The management CWC filed written statement refutting all the stands taken by the claimant.
While denying the employer employee relationship between them it has been stated that the claimant
was never under the employment of the management. That being the position the occasion of
terminating his service never arose. While denying claimants claim that he was serving for the
management for 10-15 years it has been stated that the claimant has cunningly not mentioned the date
of his appointment. It has been specifically stated that the management gets the petty works done by
inviting quotation from the open market and award the work to the party quoting the lowest price.
This workman Tej Pal was awarded the contract for carrying out jobs of the respondent on the rates
quoted by him and the bills raised by him were paid after proper scrutiny of the same by the officials
of the management. While vehemently denying the stand of the claimant as an employee, the
management has stated that the claimant neither posses the requisite qualification nor he was ever
working under the supervision and control of the management. Some documents to deny the stand of
the claimant has been filed. While denying the stand of the claimant as a daily wager for 15 years
under the management, the later has pleaded for dismissal of the claim petition as unfounded and not
maintainable.
The claimant has filed replication to the written statement stating therein that the management
being in possession of all the documents has taken undue advantage of the same. All the records have
been manipulated to show the claimant as a contractor instead of an employee though he was
discharging the duty of a daily wager and the work done by him was perennial in nature. Now that the
management is attempting to remove him and engage fresh daily wager through contractor ignoring
his long period of service, the same amounts to unfair labour practice.
On these rivals pleading the following issues were framed for adjudication.
ISSUES
1. Whether the verbal termination of service of the workman is illegal and unjustified.
2. Whether the workman is entitled for reinstatement with full back wages as alleged.
The claimant examined himself as WW1and proved a series of documents marked as exhibit
WW1/1 to WW1/8. These documents include the photocopy of the Muster Roll the application filed
under RTI seeking information on the recruitment rules, a series of handwritten orders permitting the
claimant and others to enter into the premises of the management on holidays to execute different
works, the representation given to the higher authority requesting regularization of service,
photocopies of the cheques of different dates to prove that he was getting salary from the Executive
Engineer and orders passed by the Hon’ble High Court in two different writ petitions permitting the
claimant to raise a dispute before this tribunal.
The management examined one of its Executive Engineer as MW1 who also proved
documents marked as MW1/1 to MW1/6. These documents filed by the management are the work
order issued to the claimant for execution of work the bills raised by the claimant on completion of
work and photocopy of the ledger account showing payment made to the claimant as per the bills
raised by him.
At the outset of the argument the Ld. Counsel for the management submitted that the moot
question to be decided in this proceeding is the claim challenging the illegal termination. Since,
appointment precedes termination, the tribunal in order to decide issue no.1 has to decide incidentally
the employer and employee relationship between the parties. Unless the same is decided the relief2088 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
sought by the claimant cannot be granted. The Ld. Counsel for the management further argued that
the pleadings and the documents filed by the claimant no way proves the employer and employee
relationship between the management and the claimant. To buttress his submission he submitted that
the document filed by the management outright disproves the claim of the claimant and this tribunal
has to take into consideration the documents for deciding the dispute.
On the contrary the Ld. A/R for the claimant submitted, that the oral and documentary
evidence adduced by the claimant clearly proves that he had worked for 10-15 years for the
management preceding his illegal termination. It is the case of the claimant that no appointment letter
was ever handed over to him. The management being in possession of the documents has
manipulated certain documents to the disadvantage of the claimant.
Issue No.1
The workman examined as WW1 has filed affidavit stating that he was engaged directly by
the management for discharging the work of a helper. No appointment letter was issued nor the
benefits of EPF and ESI where extended to him. He was often raising objection for the same which
had caused annoyance in the mind of the employer ie. the management. He has thereby specifically
denied the stand of the management that he was a contractor engaged by the management for
discharge of a petty work. To support his stand he has filed several gate pass and photocopy of the
muster roll and photocopy of the cheques towards the payment made to him by the Executive
Engineer CWC. These documents have been objected by the management as not relevant for proving
the issue.
There is no dispute about the proposition of law that the burden of proving the employer and
employee relationship lies with the party who asserts existence of the same. It is also a decided
Principle of law that the person claiming temporary status of employee has to prove that he had
worked for 240 days or more in a calendar year for the management preceding to his termination. In
this case since the claimant is asserting about the said relationship, no doubt the burden is on him to
prove the same. Admittedly the claimant has not filed any appointment letter and his claim solenly
rest on the photocopies of the Muster roll and cheques showing payment to him by the Executive
Engineer CWC. In the case of Steel Authority of India vs. National Union Waterfront Worker
Union reported in (2001) 7SCC Page 1, the Hon’ble Apex Court have also prescribed for the
effective control test to ascertain about the relationship of the workman with the management or the
contractor. Not only that in the case of Chintaman Rao vs. State of MP (1958(II)LLJ252) the Apex
court ruled that the concept of employment involves 3 ingredients (i)Employer (ii) Employee (iii)
Contract of Employment. The employer is one who employees or engages the service of other person.
The employee is one who works for another for hire. The employment is the contract of service
between the employer and employee, where under the employee agrees to serve the employer subject
to his control and supervision. Again in the case of Steel Authority of India vs. National Union
Waterfront Worker Union reported in (2001)7SCCPage1 the Hon’ble Apex Court have also
prescribed for the effective Control test to ascertain about the relationship of the workman with the
management. In this case the claimant in his oral testimony has not whispered a word about the
effective control exercised by the management on the workman for the works discharge by him.
Furthermore the muster rolls filed by the claimant (Photocopy) are for the period 01/07/2013 to
10/04/2015. No other document has been filed to prove the claim of the claimant that he had work for
10 to 15 years for the management preceding to his alleged termination. Moreover the scrutiny of the
Muster roll which though contains the name of the claimant do not prove that he had worked for 240
days or more in the calendar year preceding to his termination. The Ld. A/R for the claimant drew the
attention of the tribunal to the certificate appended to the Muster Roll and signed by the Assistant
Engineer certifying that the workers mentioned in the Muster Roll where actually employed by him
on corporation work and submitted that this is the document of the management which proves the
employer employee relationship. He also drew the attention to the photocopies of the cheques of
different dates to say that the claimant was getting remuneration from the management for the work
done. But few pages of the Muster Roll and an isolated cheque cannot prove the relationship between
the management and the claimant as employer and employee. On the contrary the management has
taken a specific stand by filing documents to show that the Executive Engineer CWC is authorized to
get the petty work done by inviting quotation from the open market and award the work to the person
quoting the lowest rate. This claimant was awarded the contract for carrying out jobs as per the rates[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2089
quoted by him. A document has been filed by the management which is a contract issued by the
Executive Engineer of CWC to the claimant on 06.01.2009 and the document has been marked as
MW1/1. Several bills have also been filed pursuant to this contract raised by the claimant Raj Pal with
his signature and countersigned by the officials of CWC after verification giving a certificate about
the work done as per the specification. The management has also filed photocopies of the ledger
account showing payment made to the claimant in accordance to the bill raised by him and sanctioned
by the management. The gate passes filed by him no way helps proving the claim of the claimant
since those where specifically to facilitate entry of the claimant with his men into the premises of
CWC during holidays. The Ld. Counsel for the management on the basis of these gate passes argued
that the claimant was never an employee of the management. Had he been an employee there would
not have been any necessity of specific gate pass to facilitate his entry into the premises on holidays.
Thus, from the evidence on record it is held that the claimant has not succeeded in proving his
relationship with the management as employer and employee. Control of the management is a
necessary element to prove the master servant relationship but here is a case where there is no
evidence at all to prove this aspect of the claim. Except the bald statement that the claimant was the
employee for 10-15 years there is absolutely no evidence to rebut the contention of the management.
Once the employer employee relationship is not established the allegation of the claimant that
the verbal termination of the service of the workman is illegal and he has became a victim of unfair
labour practice appears unfounded and baseless. The evidence on record adduced by the management
through oral statement and documents clearly disproves the claim of the claimant. This issue is
accordingly decided against the claimant.
ISSUE. No.2
In view of the finding arrived in respect of the issue no.1 the workman is held not entitled to
reinstatement with full back wages as claimed by him. This issue is accordingly answered against the
claimant. Hence, ordered.
ORDER
The claim be and the same is dismissed on contest. Send a copy of this award to the
Appropriate Government for notification as required under section 17 of the ID act 1947.

AWARD
U/s 33-A of I.D. Act
The claimant workman Uttam Kumar Mishra, General Secretary, Dala Cement filed an
application under Section 33A of the Industrial Disputes Act 1947 for adjudication.
The claim statement of claimant workman may be summarized as follows:-
As per the claim statement already a case with ID No. 60 of 2018 is in process in which claim
statement is also filed. During the course of the aforementioned case the O.P. Dala Cement Factory
put pressure on claimant workers and persuaded them with the proposal of salary hike. The described
modus operandi and the gimmick of the management of Dala Cement Factory is illegal as it is against
the spirit of equal pay for equal work as enshrined in Article 39 (d) of the Constitution of India. Not
only did the management offer different rates of salary hike in the range of rupees one thousand(Rs
1,000) to three thousand(Rs 3,000) to the claimant workmen but also settled the salary hike of some
workmen. This act of the management is done with the unholy and malicious intention to preclude the
claimant workmen from getting justice. The management offered the salary hike with such malicious
and diabolical conditions that the real objective and spirit of the case will be defeated. The claimant
workmen pleaded before the management of Dala Cement Factory for equal pay for equal work which
will not affect the ongoing case but the management was reluctant towards the demand. Hence as the
aforementioned discriminatory practice of the management of the Dala Cement Factory is against the
Labour practice. It is prayed by the claimant workmen before the Hon’ble Tribunal to stop the
ongoing unfair practice of the management of the Dala Cement.
On behalf of the O.P management preliminary objection against maintainability of the claims
of the Union were raised on the ground that the industrial dispute can only be raised as per Industrial
Disputes Act It is further pleaded on behalf of the O.P management no specific name of the employee
has been mentioned in the complaint petition and the entire complaint does not reveal any change of
the condition of service enunciated under section 9A and schedule 4 of Industrial Disputes Act.
When the matter was taken for hearing on behalf of the Dala Cement factory shramik sangh
one memo supported with an affidavit was filed intimating the reluctance of the workman to proceed
with the claims. In view of the affidavit and in larger interest of Industrial peace and cordial
relationship in Industrial relation the dispute is disposed of as not pressed.
Parties are left to bear their respective costs.

AWARD
This is an application filed by the claimant invoking the provisions of section 2A of Id Act
1947 seeking remedy against his alleged illegal termination by the management.
The facts pleaded by the claimant in short is that he was working as a daily wager in the
Central Warehousing Corporation since 10-15 years before his termination and reporting to the
executive Engineer of Management No. 1 who is the management No.2 in this proceeding. He was
discharging the work of helper and the management was assuring him of regularization of his service
against the sanctioned post of Electrician, helper and Pump Operator. The management was adopting
unfair labour practice by not providing appointment letter to the claimant. Not only that he was not
made a member of ESI, EPF etc by the management. Being aggrieved the claimant was often raising
demand in this regard. In May 2015 the claimant came to know that the management instead of
regularizing his service in view of his long tenure of service rendered, had floated tenders for
engagement of Pump Operator, Electrician, helper, plumber and carpenter through contractors. When
the claimant sought legal advice he was asked to obtain information under RTI with regard to the
employment policy of the management. Though, the application in this regard was filed and received
by the management, instead of providing the information the management became annoyed and
caught hold of him and obtained his signature on some blank papers. He was threatened to be
implicated in theft case by utilizing the said signed blank paper if he would attempt to take any legal
action against the management. The claimant having no other remedy lodged a complaint at the local
Police Station. While Police took no action the management in a move of vindication on the next date
prevented the claimant from entering into the premises of the management having the effect of oral
illegal terminated. The representation made by the claimant to the higher authorities of the
management was not considered. Thus, the claimant filed a writ petition before the High Court which
was later on withdrawn with liberty to file a fresh application. The subsequent application under RTI
Act filed by the claimant for supply of the recruitment rule also remained pending. The claimant thus,
filed the second writ petition before the Hon’ble High Court which was again dismissed as withdrawn
with a direction to approach the Central Government Industrial Tribunal. The claimant thereafter
approached the Assistant Labour Commissioner and Conciliation Officer where conciliation
proceeding was taken up but no fruitful result could be achieved. The conciliation officer provided a
failure report to the claimant. Hence, the present claim petition has been filed with a prayer to declare
the act of the management orally terminating the service of the claimant as illegal, arbitrary
unjustified and a direction to reinstate him into service with full back wages and all consequential
benefits.
The management CWC filed written statement refutting all the stands taken by the claimant.
While denying the employer employee relationship between them it has been stated that the claimant
was never under the employment of the management. That being the position the occasion of
terminating his service never arose. While denying claimants claim that he was serving for the
management for 10-15 years it has been stated that the claimant has cunningly not mentioned the date
of his appointment. It has been specifically stated that the management gets the petty works done by
inviting quotation from the open market and award the work to the party quoting the lowest price.
This workman Mahipal was awarded the contract for carring out jobs of the respondent on the rates
quoted by him and the bills raised by him were paid after proper scrutiny of the same by the officials
of the management. While vehemently denying the stand of the claimant as an employee the
management has stated that the claimant neither possess the requisite qualification nor he was ever
working under the supervision and control of the management. Some document to deny the stand of
the claimant has been filed. While denying the stand of the claimant as a daily wager for 15 years[भाग II— ण् ड 3(ii)] भारत का रािृत्र : नवम् बर 20, 2021/कार्तिक 29, 1943 2093
under the management, the later has pleaded for dismissal of the claim petition as unfounded and not
maintainable.
The claimant has filed replication to the written statement stating therein that the management
being in possession of all the documents has taken undue advantage of the same. All the records have
been manipulated to show the claimant as a contractor instead of an employee though he was
discharging the duty of a daily wager and the work done by him was perennial in nature. Now that the
management is attempting to remove him and engage fresh daily wager through contractor ignoring
his long period of service, the same amounts to unfair labour practice.
On these rivals pleading the following issues were framed for adjudication.
ISSUES
1. Whether the verbal termination of service of the workman is illegal and unjustified.
2. Whether the workman is entitled for reinstatement with full back wages as alleged.
The claimant examined himself as WW1and proved a series of documents marked as exhibit
WW1/1 to WW1/7. These documents include the photocopy of the Muster Roll the application filed
under RTI seeking information on the recruitment rules, a series of handwritten orders permitting the
claimant and others to enter into the premises of the management on holidays to execute different
works, the representation given to the higher authority requesting regularization of service,
photocopies of the cheques of different dates to prove that he was getting salary from the executive
Engineer and orders passed by the Hon’ble High Court in two different writ petitions permitting the
claimant to raise a dispute before this tribunal.
The management examined one of its Executive Engineer as MW1 who also proved
documents marked as MW1/1 to MW1/3. These documents filed by the management are the work
order issued to the claimant for execution of work the bills raised by the claimant on completion of
work and photocopy of the ledger account showing payment made to the claimant as per the bills
raised by him.
At the outset of the argument the Ld. Counsel for the management submitted that the moot
question to be decided in this proceeding is the claim challenging the illegal termination. Since,
appointment precedes termination, the tribunal in order to decide issue no.1 has to decide incidentally
the employer and employee relationship between the parties. Unless the same is decided the relief
sought by the claimant cannot be granted. The Ld. Counsel for the management further argued that
the pleading and the documents filed by the claimant no way proves the employer and employee
relationship between the management and the claimant. To buttress his submission he submitted that
the document filed by the management outright disproves the claim of the claimant and this tribunal
has to take into consideration the documents for deciding the dispute.
On the contrary the Ld. A/R for the claimant submitted, that the oral and documentary
evidence adduced by the claimant clearly proves that he had worked for 10-15 years for the
management preceding his illegal termination. It is the case of the claimant that no appointment letter
was ever handed over to him. The management being in possession of the documents has
manipulated certain documents to the disadvantage of the claimant.
Issue No. 1
The workman examined as WW1 has filed affidavit stating that he was engaged directly by
the management for discharging the work of a helper no appointment letter was issued nor the
benefits of EPF and ESI where extended to him. He was often raising objection for the same which
had caused annoyance in the mind of the employer ie. the management. He has thereby specifically
denied the stand of the management that he was a contractor engaged by the management for
discharge of a petty work. To support his stand he has filed several gate pass and photocopy of the
muster roll and photocopy of the cheques towards the payment made to him by the Executive
Engineer CWC. These documents have been objected by the management as not relevant for proving
the issue.
There is no dispute about the proposition of law that the burden of proving the employer and
employee relationship lies with the party who asserts existence of the same. In this case since the2094 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
claimant is asserting about the said relationship, no doubt the burden is on him to prove the same.
Admittedly the claimant has not filed any appointment letter and his claim solenly rest on the
photocopies of the Muster roll and cheques showing payment to him by the executive Engineer CWC.
In the case of Steel Authority of India vs. National Union Waterfront Worker Union reported in
(2001) 7SCC Page 1, the Hon’ble Apex Court have also prescribed for the effective control test to
ascertain about the relationship of the workman with the management or the contractor. Not only that
in the case of Chintaman Rao vs. State of MP (1958(II)LLJ252) the Apex court ruled that the
concept of employment involves 3 ingredients (i)Employer (ii) Employee (iii) Contract of
Employment. The employer is one who employees or engages the service of other person. The
employee is one who works for another for hire. The employment is the contract of service between
the employer and employee, where under the employee agrees to serve the employer subject to his
control and supervision. Again in the case of Steel Authority of India vs. National Union
Waterfront Worker Union reported in (2001)7SCCPage1 the Hon’ble Apex Court have also
prescribed for the effective Control test to ascertain about the relationship of the workman with the
management. In this case the claimant in his oral testimony has not whispered a word about the
effective control exercised by the management on the workman for the works discharge by him. On
the contrary the management has taken a specific stand by filing documents to show that the executive
engineer CWC is authorized to get the petty work done by inviting quotation from the open market
and award the work to the person quoting the lowest rate. This claimant was awarded the contract for
carrying out jobs as per the rates quoted by him. A document has been filed by the management which
is a contract issued by the Executive Engineer of CWC to the claimant on 23.09.2013 and the
document has been marked as MW1/1. Several bills have also been filed pursuant to this contract
raised by the claimant Mahipal with his signature and countersigned by the officials of CWC after
verification giving a certificate about the work done as per the specification. The management has
also filed photocopies of the ledger account showing payment made to the claimant in accordance to
the bill raised by him and sanctioned by the management. On the contrary the muster roll filed by the
claimant nowhere contains his name. The gate passes filed by him no way helps proving the claim of
the claimant since those where specifically to facilitate entry of the claimant with his men into the
premises of CWC during holidays. The Ld. Counsel for the management on the basis of these gate
passes argued that the claimant was never an employee of the management. Had he been an employee
there would not have been any necessity of specific gate pass to facilitate his entry into the premises
on holidays. Thus, from the evidence on record it is held that the claimant has not succeeded in
proving his relationship with the management as employer and employee. Control of the management
is a necessary element to prove the master servant relationship but here is a case where there is no
evidence at all to prove this aspect of the claim. Except the bald statement that the claimant was the
employee for 10-15 years there is absolutely no evidence to rebut the contention of the management.
Once the employer employee relationship is not established the allegation of the claimant that
the verbal termination of the service of the workman is illegal and he has became a victim of unfair
labour practice appears unfounded and baseless. The evidence on record adduced by the management
through oral statement and documents clearly disproves the claim of the claimant. This issue is
accordingly decided against the claimant.
Issue. No. 2
In view of the finding arrived in respect of the issue no.1 the workman is held not entitled to
reinstatement with full back wages as claimed by him. This issue is accordingly answered against the
claimant. Hence, ordered.
ORDER
The claim be and the same is dismissed on contest. Send a copy of this award to the
Appropriate Government for notification as required under section 17 of the ID act 1947.

The management CWC filed written statement refutting all the stands taken by the claimant.
While denying the employer employee relationship between them it has been stated that the claimant
was never under the employment of the management. That being the position the occasion of
terminating his service never arose. While denying claimants claim that he was serving for the
management for 10-15 years it has been stated that the claimant has cunningly not mentioned the date
of his appointment. It has been specifically stated that the management gets the petty works done by
inviting quotation from the open market and award the work to the party quoting the lowest price.
This workman Panchdev Shah was awarded the contract for carrying out jobs of the respondent on the
rates quoted by him and the bills raised by him were paid after proper scrutiny of the same by the
officials of the management. While vehemently denying the stand of the claimant as an employee, the
management has stated that the claimant neither posses the requisite qualification nor he was ever
working under the supervision and control of the management. Some documents to deny the stand of
the claimant has been filed. While denying the stand of the claimant as a daily wager for 15 years
under the management, the later has pleaded for dismissal of the claim petition as unfounded and not
maintainable.
The claimant has filed replication to the written statement stating therein that the management
being in possession of all the documents has taken undue advantage of the same. All the records have
been manipulated to show the claimant as a contractor instead of an employee though he was
discharging the duty of a daily wager and the work done by him was perennial in nature. Now that the
management is attempting to remove him and engage fresh daily wager through contractor ignoring
his long period of service, the same amounts to unfair labour practice.
On these rivals pleading the following issues were framed for adjudication.
ISSUES
1. Whether the verbal termination of service of the workman is illegal and unjustified.
2. Whether the workman is entitled for reinstatement with full back wages as alleged.
The claimant examined himself as WW1and proved a series of documents marked as exhibit
WW1/1 to WW1/8. These documents include the photocopy of the Muster Roll the application filed
under RTI seeking information on the recruitment rules, a series of handwritten orders permitting the
claimant and others to enter into the premises of the management on holidays to execute different
works, the representation given to the higher authority requesting regularization of service,
photocopies of the cheques of different dates to prove that he was getting salary from the Executive
Engineer and orders passed by the Hon’ble High Court in two different writ petitions permitting the
claimant to raise a dispute before this tribunal.
The management examined one of its Executive Engineer as MW1 who also proved
documents marked as MW1/1 to MW1/12. These documents filed by the management are the work
order issued to the claimant for execution of work the bills raised by the claimant on completion of
work and photocopy of the ledger account showing payment made to the claimant as per the bills
raised by him.
At the outset of the argument the Ld. Counsel for the management submitted that the moot

appointment precedes termination, the tribunal in order to decide issue no.1 has to decide incidentally

Issue No. 1
The workman examined as WW1 has filed affidavit stating that he was engaged directly by
the management for discharging the work of a helper. No appointment letter was issued nor the
benefits of EPF and ESI where extended to him. He was often raising objection for the same which
had caused annoyance in the mind of the employer ie. the management. He has thereby specifically
denied the stand of the management that he was a contractor engaged by the management for
discharge of a petty work. To support his stand he has filed several gate pass and photocopy of the
muster roll and photocopy of the cheques towards the payment made to him by the Executive
Engineer CWC. These documents have been objected by the management as not relevant for proving
the issue.
There is no dispute about the proposition of law that the burden of proving the employer and
employee relationship lies with the party who asserts existence of the same. It is also a decided
Principle of law that the person claiming temporary status of employee has to prove that he had
worked for 240 days or more in a calendar year for the management preceding to his termination. In
this case since the claimant is asserting about the said relationship, no doubt the burden is on him to
prove the same. Admittedly the claimant has not filed any appointment letter and his claim solenly
rest on the photocopies of the Muster roll and cheques showing payment to him by the Executive
Engineer CWC. In the case of Steel Authority of India vs. National Union Waterfront Worker
Union reported in (2001) 7SCC Page 1, the Hon’ble Apex Court have also prescribed for the
effective control test to ascertain about the relationship of the workman with the management or the
contractor. Not only that in the case of Chintaman Rao vs. State of MP (1958(II)LLJ252) the Apex
court ruled that the concept of employment involves 3 ingredients (i)Employer (ii) Employee (iii)
Contract of Employment. The employer is one who employees or engages the service of other person.
The employee is one who works for another for hire. The employment is the contract of service
between the employer and employee, where under the employee agrees to serve the employer subject
to his control and supervision. Again in the case of Steel Authority of India vs. National Union
Waterfront Worker Union reported in (2001)7SCCPage1 the Hon’ble Apex Court have also
prescribed for the effective Control test to ascertain about the relationship of the workman with the
management. In this case the claimant in his oral testimony has not whispered a word about the
effective control exercised by the management on the workman for the works discharge by him.
Furthermore the muster rolls filed by the claimant (Photocopy) are for the period 01/07/2013 to
10/04/2015. No other document has been filed to prove the claim of the claimant that he had work for
10 to 15 years for the management preceding to his alleged termination. Moreover the scrutiny of the
Muster roll which though contains the name of the claimant do not prove that he had worked for 240
days or more in the calendar year preceding to his termination. The Ld. A/R for the claimant drew the
attention of the tribunal to the certificate appended to the Muster Roll and signed by the Assistant
Engineer certifying that the workers mentioned in the Muster Roll where actually employed by him
on corporation work and submitted that this is the document of the management which proves the
employer employee relationship. He also drew the attention to the photocopies of the cheques of
different dates to say that the claimant was getting remuneration from the management for the work
done. But few pages of the Muster Roll and an isolated cheque cannot prove the relationship between
the management and the claimant as employer and employee. On the contrary the management has
taken a specific stand by filing documents to show that the Executive Engineer CWC is authorized to
get the petty work done by inviting quotation from the open market and award the work to the person
quoting the lowest rate. This claimant was awarded the contract for carrying out jobs as per the rates
quoted by him. Several bills have also been filed pursuant to this contract raised by the claimant
Panchdev Shah with his signature and countersigned by the officials of CWC after verification giving
a certificate about the work done as per the specification. The management has also filed photocopies
of the ledger account showing payment made to the claimant in accordance to the bill raised by him
and sanctioned by the management. The gate passes filed by him no way helps proving the claim of
the claimant since those where specifically to facilitate entry of the claimant with his men into the
premises of CWC during holidays. The Ld. Counsel for the management on the basis of these gate
passes argued that the claimant was never an employee of the management. Had he been an employee
there would not have been any necessity of specific gate pass to facilitate his entry into the premises
on holidays. Thus, from the evidence on record it is held that the claimant has not succeeded in
proving his relationship with the management as employer and employee. Control of the management2100 THE GAZETTE OF INDIA : NOVEMBER 20, 2021/KARTIKA 29, 1943 [PART II—SEC. 3(ii)]
is a necessary element to prove the master servant relationship but here is a case where there is no
evidence at all to prove this aspect of the claim. Except the bald statement that the claimant was the
employee for 10-15 years there is absolutely no evidence to rebut the contention of the management.
Once the employer employee relationship is not established the allegation of the claimant that
the verbal termination of the service of the workman is illegal and he has became a victim of unfair
labour practice appears unfounded and baseless. The evidence on record adduced by the management
through oral statement and documents clearly disproves the claim of the claimant. This issue is
accordingly decided against the claimant.
Issue. No. 2
In view of the finding arrived in respect of the issue no.1 the workman is held not entitled to
reinstatement with full back wages as claimed by him. This issue is accordingly answered against the
claimant. Hence, ordered.
ORDER
The claim be and the same is dismissed on contest. Send a copy of this award to the
Appropriate Government for notification as required under section 17 of the ID act 1947.
