Anand, J.<\/p>\n<p>1. Petitioner No. 1 was in employment of Jalandhar Co-operative  Cannaries Ltd., Jalandhar. Petitioner No. 2 was also in employment of that  Institution. In the year 1973, the Markfed Co-operative Cannaries,  Jalandhar merged with the Punjab State Co-operative Supply &amp; Marketing  Federation Limited Chandigarh w.e.f. 25.11.1972 vide order dated 7.8.1973.  The petitioners, on that account, became employees of the Markfed. On  account of indictment for defalcation, penalty of compulsory retirement was  imposed upon them. The pure and simple plea of the petitioners is that the  impugned penalty deserves to be invalidated inasmuch as it had been  imposed by the Managing Director who was not competent to impose it.  The plea, in the context, is that in terms of the Punjab State Supply and  Marketing Co-operative Service (common cadre) Rules, 1967, it is the  Administrative Committee which is competent to make appointments and to  impose the indicated punishment.\n<\/p>\n<p>2. The respondent  Markfed re-iterated the correctness of the  impugned penalty by averring that the petitioners are not governed by the  Common Cadre Rules but by the Model Standing Orders and other  industrial laws which are applicable to the persons of the category to which  the petitioners belong. The respondent also raised a preliminary objection  to the maintainability of the present petition on the plea that the petitioners  being workmen within the ambit of the Industrial Disputes Act, have an  alternative and equally efficacious remedy available to them under that Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>3. I have heard Mr.DS Patwalia, learned Counsel for the  petitioners, Mr.Arun Nehra, learned Counsel for respondent No. 1 and have  carefully gone through the file.\n<\/p>\n<p>4. Insofar as the preliminary objection is concerned, it only  deserves to be noticed to be negatived. There is plethora of law on the point  that a writ plea would be competent even in the face of availability of an  alternative remedy. The plea shall stand negatived accordingly.\n<\/p>\n<p>5. Insofar as the petitioners are concerned, they made a precise  averment in the petition that they are governed by the Common Cadre  Rules. Rule 1.3 thereof reads as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 1.3. These rules shall apply to the employees working in the  Punjab State Co-operative Supply &amp; Marketing Federation  Limited, and to such employees of the Co-operative  Marketing\/Processing Societies and the District Wholesale  Supply and Marketing Co-operative Societies as may be  declared suitable as a result of screening conducted in  pursuance of the provisions of Clause (a) &amp; (d) of rule 2.2A  infra or otherwise.\n<\/p>\n<p>Provided that in case of the employees appointed by  transfer from Government Departments, these rules shall apply  only to the extent specified in their terms and conditions of  deputation agreed upon with the Government Department  concerned.\n<\/p>\n<p>Provided that nothing in these rules shall effect the  application of any other law, statutory rule or regulation for the  time being in force.\n<\/p>\n<p>6. In an endeavour of resistance, all that the respondents averred  was that the petitioners are not governed by the Common Cadre Rules and  are instead governed by the Model Standing Orders. The respondent- Corporation has not indicated any premise on the basis whereof it could  oust the applicability of the Common Cadre Rules. It also did not indicate  the exact connotation of the Model Standing Orders. The rule quoted in  para 5 of this judgment, is categorical in the matter of applicability to the  petitioners. In the light of the above quoted rule, the inapplicability of the  Common Cadre Rules could be pleaded only if the orders regarding the  transfer of the petitioners to the Markfed would have indicated any such  thing in the terms and conditions governing their transfer. It is not the plea  on behalf of the contesting respondent that the terms and conditions  governing the merger indicated above contained any such stipulation which  would be supportive of contesting respondent&#8217;s plea of inapplicability of  Common Cadre Rules.\n<\/p>\n<p>7. It may be noticed that a similar controversy arose before this  Court in R.S.A. No. 1948 of 1985 (Narinder Kumar Nanda Versus The  Punjab State Cooperative Supply and Marketing Federation Ltd.). In that  case, the competence or otherwise of the Managing Director of Markfed  was in issue. The learned Trial Court and also the learned First Appellate  Court, in a concurrence of views, held that the Managing Director of the  Markfed was not competent to terminate the service of that employee (Field  Assistant in the employment of the Markfed). In R.S.A., this Court affirmed  that finding and held that it was only the Administrative Committee which  was competent to dismiss the employee.\n<\/p>\n<p>8. In the light of the foregoing discussion, the writ plea succeeds.  The writ petition shall stand allowed. The impugned order, Annexure P13,  by which a penalty of compulsory retirement was imposed upon the  petitioner, shall stand quashed. However, it shall not debar the passing of  an appropriate order afresh by the Competent Authority. Of course, while  passing that order, the Competent Authority ought to notice the length of  service rendered by the petitioners and also the fact that the petitioners have  been out of job since 1990.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Jit Singh And Anr. vs The Punjab State Co-Operative And &#8230; on 15 November, 2007 Author: S Anand Bench: S Anand JUDGMENT S.D.
