Spinning &amp; Weaving Mills Co. &#8230; on 16 January, 1953<\/div>\n<div class=\"doc_citations\">Equivalent citations: AIR 1953 All 495, (1953) IILLJ 743 All<\/div>\n<div class=\"doc_bench\">Bench: Malik, V Bhargava<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<pre><\/pre>\n<p>ORDER<\/p>\n<p>1. This is a Writ application under Article 226 of the Constitution against an order of the Labour Appellate Tribunal dated 19-5-52. The application is a belated one and even on that account we were inclined to dismiss it. We are, however, of the opinion that even on the merits the application has no force.\n<\/p>\n<p> 2.   One   Lalta   Prasad   was   employed   as   a<br \/>\nweaver in the firm of the opposite party No. 1.\n<\/p>\n<p>He  was  paid  wages  according to  the  yardage<br \/>\nwoven  by him.   To  get  more  wages than  the<br \/>\namount of work done by him entitled him to,<br \/>\nhe used certain fraudulent methods which were<br \/>\ndetected in September,  1950.   The management<br \/>\nafter  making  proper  enquiries  dismissed  him.\n<\/p>\n<p>There was an appeal filed before the Regional<br \/>\nConciliation Board which  came to, the conclusion that Lalta Prasad had been guilty of mis<br \/>\nconduct and that his previous record had also<br \/>\nnot been  satisfactory.   The  Regional  Conciliation Board was, therefore, of the opinion that<br \/>\nhe  was  rightly  dismissed.   It  was  against the<br \/>\norder   of    the    Regional    Conciliation    Board<br \/>\na further appeal was filed before the Industrial<br \/>\nCourt.   The learned Judge held that Lalta Pra<br \/>\nsad was guilty of misconduct which made him<br \/>\nliable   to   summary   dismissal   under   standing<br \/>\nOrder 24 (a). After having come to that finding,<br \/>\nhe added as follows on the question of punishment:\n<\/p>\n<p>    &#8220;On the  question   of  punishment,  however,  I<br \/>\nam of the opinion that dismissal, under the<br \/>\ncircumstances,   was   uncalled  for.    Appellant<br \/>\nwas  warned  on   23-6-50,   and   suspended   for<br \/>\none day in  January  1949.   It was  stated  at<br \/>\nthe bar that the appellant has put in about<br \/>\nfour years&#8217; service.   Under the circumstances,<br \/>\nagreeing with the opinion of the assessor, I<br \/>\nmodify the award of the Board in this way<br \/>\nthat  Lalta  Prasad  would  be  reinstated, but<br \/>\nwithout   any   pay   for   the   period   of   his<br \/>\nunemployment.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> Against the order of the Industrial Tribunal dated 21-4-1951, there was an appeal filed under Section 7, Industrial Disputes Appellate Tribunal Act (Act XLVIII of 1950). Section 7 gives a right of appeal against certain specified orders and also in a case where the appeal involves any substantial question of law. The order passed by the Industrial Court is admittedly not one of the several orders mentioned in Section 7 against which an appeal is specifically provided and the appeal should, therefore, have involved a substantial question of law before it could be entertained by the Appellate Tribunal.\n<\/p>\n<p> 3. The question raised in this Writ Application is that the case involved no question of law, and at any rate, it did not raise any substantial question of law and the Appellate Tribunal, therefore, had no jurisdiction to entertain the appeal, differ from the conclusion arrived at by the Industrial Court and hold that the order of dismissal should not have been set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p> 4. Before we deal with this argument, we wish to mention that we are not satisfied that an appeal did He to the Industrial Court against the order of the Regional Conciliation Board. The duty of the Regional Conciliation Board, which consisted of &#8220;a representative of the<\/p>\n<p>workmen, a representative of the management and an officer appointed by the Government, was to bring about a settlement between the workers and the management. As, however, we are dismissing the application on the merits, it is not necessary for us to consider whether the order of the Regional Conciliation Board was or was not final.\n<\/p>\n<p> 5.   The  point, whether the case involved  a substantial question of law was raised before the Tribunal.   The  Tribunal came to  the conclusion   that  the   case  did  raise  a   substantial question of law. Learned counsel has urged that by deciding this question wrongly the Tribunal could not give itself, jurisdiction which it did not possess.   We are, however, not satisfied that the Tribunal decided the question wrongly. The question of law as formulated by the Tribunal is,  whether  the  Industrial  Court  was  entitled to  interfere  with  the   punishment  inflicted  by the management which was in accordance with the Standing Orders  when the charge of misconduct against the employee, as defined in the Standing Orders, was established.   This clearly is a question of law.  Jurisdiction of the Industrial Court to interfere with the sentence passed by the management, which had been approved of by  the Regional Conciliation  Board  cannot be deemed to be a question of fact.   The question is of great importance and we fail to see how it can be argued that it is not a substantial question    of   law   either.     The   Tribunal   has pointed   out  that   there   is   some   difference   of opinion  on   the  question  between   the  various benches  of the Tribunal and the matter was even referred to  a Full Bench.  The  Tribunal, after considering the various decisions, deduced there from that the court should not substitute its judgment for the judgment of the management  where  the  misconduct  has  been  proved and the order is in accordance with the Standing Orders, unless the management is guilty of victimisation of the workman or has passed an order which, on the face of it, is unduly harsh. They quoted with approval an observation made in a decision by a bench of the Tribunal wherein it had said:    &#8220;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;here again the Tribunal should not<br \/>\nsubstitute its own judgment (for the judgment?) of the Management unless it is apparent that the requirements of discipline and good conduct would not be prejudiced if a lesser punishment was awarded.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p> The Tribunal then proceeded to say that the Industrial Court had not kept these various points in mind when interfering with the sentence. The Tribunal had, therefore, reconsidered the matter and, having considered the previous record and the past conduct of Lalta Prasad, it was satisfied that the order of reinstatement was wrong and the order of dismissal should be maintained. Even if the Tribunal was wrong in its conclusion, it cannot be said that it acted beyond its jurisdiction, nor can it be said that the appeal did not lie to it.\n<\/p>\n<p> 6. Learned counsel has laid great stress on a decision of a learned single Judge of the Madras High Court in &#8212; &#8216;M. K. Ranganathan v. The Madras Electric Tramways (1904) Ltd.&#8217;, AIR 1952 Mad 659 (A). The learned Judge in that case has held that the principles enunciated above, which should guide the Industrial Tribunal and the Appellate Tribunal in interfering with the punishment inflected by the management, were taken into consideration both by the Industrial Court as well as the Tribunal, but they differed as to the conclusion<\/p>\n<p>on a question of fact, viz., whether applying those principles the order of dismissal passed against the workmen should or should not be maintained. It is not for us to say how far the learned Judge&#8217;s view was right. The case before us is entirely different. Here, the Tribunal was satisfied that the Industrial Court had not kept in view the various principles which should guide its decision whether the sentence passed by the management should or should not be interfered with.\n<\/p>\n<p>   7. We are satisfied that the case did raise a substantial  question  of   law   on   the   findings  arrived at by the  Tribunal  and there appears to be no reason to interfere.\n<\/p>\n<p> 8.   The  application  is,  therefore,  dismissed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Allahabad High Court Kanpur Mazdur Congress vs J.K.
