While the appellant was working as an<\/p>\n<p>Accountant in the Bank, he was suspended pending enquiry<\/p>\n<p>for various charges. The charges levelled against him is that<\/p>\n<p>his work as a Recovery Officer was not proper and he refused<\/p>\n<p>to do the work allotted to him. In fact dereliction of duty was<\/p>\n<p>the charge against him.          There was no allegation of<\/p>\n<p>misappropriation.    Misconducts were proved in a properly<\/p>\n<p>conducted domestic enquiry.       He was compulsorily retired<\/p>\n<p>from service. Issue regarding his compulsory retirement was<\/p>\n<p>referred to the Labour Court.         Labour Court found that<\/p>\n<p>misconducts were proved and enquiry was conducted fairly<\/p>\n<p>and properly. But however, Labour Court also analysed the<\/p>\n<p>evidence adduced before it and found that the punishment<\/p>\n<p>                      W.A.NOS.426 &amp; 475 OF 2009<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                 2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>imposed was harsh. According to the Labour Court, there was<\/p>\n<p>political differences between the management of the Society<\/p>\n<p>and the workman and such political difference is the main<\/p>\n<p>reason for imposing such a heavy punishment for misconducts<\/p>\n<p>and dereliction of duty. Punishment of compulsory retirement<\/p>\n<p>was set aside but he was not reinstated as an Accountant. He<\/p>\n<p>was only reinstated as junior most senior clerk and he was not<\/p>\n<p>given any backwages or increment in the period he was out of<\/p>\n<p>service.   He was compulsorily retired on 31.10.1993. Award<\/p>\n<p>of the Labour court was on 29.11.2002. On the basis of the<\/p>\n<p>award, he will lose nine years full backwages as well as his<\/p>\n<p>promotional benefits.     Following is the operative portion of<\/p>\n<p>the Labour court award:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>         1. The Punishment of compulsory retirement<br \/>\n         of the workman from service is set aside.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>         2. The management is directed to reinstate<br \/>\n         the workman in service in the rank of the<br \/>\n         junior most senior clerk.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>         3. The workman will not be entitled to any<br \/>\n         backwages or increments during the period in<br \/>\n         which he was kept out of service.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>                     W.A.NOS.426 &amp; 475 OF 2009<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                3<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>          4. The workman will be deemed to have been<br \/>\n          in continuous service without any break for<br \/>\n          the purpose of computing his retirement<br \/>\n          benefits.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Under Section 11A of the Industrial Disputes Act, in the case<\/p>\n<p>of dismissal or discharge of duties, Labour court has got<\/p>\n<p>power to interfere with the punishment and make appropriate<\/p>\n<p>relief if the punishment is shockingly disproportionate. The<\/p>\n<p>Labour court has considered the matter and found that for<\/p>\n<p>misconducts, compulsory retirement or termination of service<\/p>\n<p>is highly excessive. At the same time, it is also noted that he<\/p>\n<p>has got political connections and he was a social worker.<\/p>\n<p>Taking all these relevant circumstances and nature of gravity<\/p>\n<p>of   misconducts, the relief was granted.      The Labour court<\/p>\n<p>has got power to reinstate the appellant with backwages. The<\/p>\n<p>power exercised by the Labour court is within its jurisdiction.<\/p>\n<p>In the absence of any jurisdictional error or patent error<\/p>\n<p>apparent on the face of the record, the learned Singe Judge<\/p>\n<p>upheld the award rejecting the attack made by the<\/p>\n<p>management as well as the workmen. On going through the<\/p>\n<p>award, we fully agree with the learned Single Judge that the<\/p>\n<p>                   W.A.NOS.426 &amp; 475 OF 2009<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                              4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Labour Court has exercised jurisdiction correctly.       No<\/p>\n<p>grounds are made out to interfere in the impugned judgment.<\/p>\n<p>We are not repeating the reasoning given by the learned<\/p>\n<p>Single Judge as we fully agree with the views of the learned<\/p>\n<p>Single Judge. Hence both writ appeals are dismissed.<\/p>\n<p>                                            J.B.KOSHY<br \/>\n                                 ACTING CHIEF JUSTICE<\/p>\n<p>                                            V.GIRI<br \/>\n                                            JUDGE<\/p>\n<p>prp<\/p>\n<p>     J.B.KOSHY &amp; THOMAS P.
