Balakrishnan Nair, J.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
       The appellants are respondents 1 and 2 in the Writ Petition. The<\/p>\n
first respondent herein was the writ petitioner. The brief facts of the case<\/p>\n
are as follows:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
       2.   The first respondent\/writ petitioner approached this Court<\/p>\n
alleging that the direction of this Court in Ext.P2 judgment to appoint him<\/p>\n
as Safety Officer with effect from 1.8.1994 and grant him all consequential<\/p>\n
benefits has not been implemented. He also pointed out that the said<\/p>\n
direction has been affirmed by a Division Bench of this Court as per<\/p>\n
Ext.P3 judgment dated 29.9.2006 in W.A. No. 784 of 2002. The learned<\/p>\n
Single Judge, after hearing both sides, allowed the Writ Petition with costs.<\/p>\n
Aggrieved by the said judgment, this Writ Appeal is filed.<\/p>\n
W.A. NO. 884\/2009                       2<\/span><\/p>\n
       3. Sri. M. Pathrose Mathai, the learned senior counsel who appeared<\/p>\n
for the appellants submitted that after Ext.P2 judgment, the 5th respondent<\/p>\n
therein filed   W.A. No.784 of 2002 and obtained an order of status quo.<\/p>\n
The said appeal was finally dismissed on 29.9.2006. Soon thereafter, the<\/p>\n
first respondent was appointed. The main grievance raised in this appeal is<\/p>\n
that the direction of the learned Single Judge to grant arrears of salary to<\/p>\n
the first respondent herein is unjustified.     Salary cannot be paid for the<\/p>\n
period he has not worked and the principle of “no work, no pay” will<\/p>\n
apply, it is submitted.     In support of this submission, learned senior<\/p>\n
counsel relied on the decision of the Apex Court in State of Haryana v.<\/p>\n
O.P. Gupta, A.I.R.<\/a> 1996 S.C. 2936. Learned senior counsel also pointed<\/p>\n
out that the learned Single Judge directed that the first respondent need<\/p>\n
report to the Chief Executive of the Company. But, in fact, the rules<\/p>\n
provide for reporting to the Chief Executive of the factory concerned. To<\/p>\n
that extent, the direction is liable to be interfered with, it is submitted.<\/p>\n
       4. We heard Sri. V. N. Achutha Kurup, the learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
first respondent. He supported the decision of the learned Single Judge,<\/p>\n
but added that the first respondent had only prayed for reporting to the<\/p>\n
Chief Executive of the factory.\n<\/p>\n
W.A. NO. 884\/2009                    3<\/span><\/p>\n
       5. The direction issued by the learned Single Judge in Ext.P2 reads<\/p>\n
as follows:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
                   “During the course of argument, it was
\n            contended on behalf of the fifth respondent that
\n            what is mentioned in Rule 31F(i) is “practical
\n            experience of working in a factory in a
\n            supervisory capacity for a period of not less than”
\n            two years in the case of engineering graduates
\n            and five years in respect of graduates in physics
\n            and diploma holders and that supervisory
\n            capacity and supervisory cadre are different.
\n            Even though post of Inspector was in the
\n            workmen cadre, according to him, he has the
\n            capacity to work in supervisory cadre. It was
\n            argued that experience in supervisory capacity as
\n            held by the Supreme Court in C.E.S.C. Ltd. and
\n            others v. Subhash Chandera Bose and others<\/a>
\n            ((1992) 1 SCC 441) support his contentions. In
\n            that case, Supreme Court held that consistency of
\n            vigil over the employees is necessary for
\n            supervision. Supervision is an act of overseeing;
\n            having general oversight of, especially as an
\n            officer vested with authority; oversight and
\n            superintendence with authority to direct; power
\n            of authority to check or restrain and mere
\n            checking of work after its completion or
\n            accepting    or  rejecting   the  same     is   not
\n            supervision. This decision is not at all helpful to
\n            the fifth respondent. There the Supreme Court
\n            considered     the   meaning     of   the     word
\n            “supervision” as mentioned in Section 2(9)(ii) of
\n            the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948 to find
\n            out   whether    the   principal  employer      has
\n            ‘supervision’ over the workers of a contractor.
\n            Therefore, the above decision has no application<\/p>\n
W.A. NO. 884\/2009                     4<\/span><\/p>\n
            here and the observations in the impugned
\n            judgment are against the fifth respondent. Fifth
\n            respondent had no case that even though
\n            Inspector Grade A is in the workmen category, he
\n            had power or authority over other operators, he
\n            has got power to initiate disciplinary action,
\n            sanction leaves, and other supervisory functions
\n            over his subordinates. His functions were more
\n            technical. Even third respondent company has no
\n            case that on 1.6.1993, the date of arising of
\n            vacancy, or on 1.8.1994 the fifth respondent has
\n            practical experience of five years in a supervisory
\n            capacity.   Mere capacity is not enough.        By
\n            Ext.P4 fifth respondent was appointed as
\n            Assistant Safety Officer.      According to the
\n            management, it is a new post created.           It’s
\n            qualifications are not fixed by statute. Hence, I
\n            decline to interfere in Ext.P4. But, since he was
\n            not appointed as Safety Officer, Ext.P5 has no
\n            effect. Ext.P6 was issued malafide to avoid a
\n            claim of the petitioner. Ext.P8 is clearly illegal.
\n            When fifth respondent was appointed by Ext.P8,
\n            he had no qualification, but petitioner was fully
\n            qualified.    The      experience required       in
\n            supervisory capacity is mentioned as “not less
\n            than five years”.    Therefore, a person without
\n            required experience cannot be appointed. Hence,
\n            I set aside Ext.P8 appointment order given to the
\n            fifth respondent as Safety Officer. Petitioner was
\n            fully qualified to hold that post in terms of the
\n            statutory requirement on that date. The third
\n            respondent has no case that      his conduct and
\n            character are not good. Therefore, petitioner is
\n            entitled to get appointment     from 1.8.1994 as
\n            Safety Officer. He is entitled to get consequent
\n            benefits.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Going by the above direction, which has been affirmed by the Division<\/p>\n
Bench in Ext.P3 judgment, we feel that the first respondent who joined as<\/p>\n
W.A. NO. 884\/2009                       5<\/span><\/p>\n
Safety Officer with effect from 1.8.1994 is entitled to get all consequential<\/p>\n
benefits including arrears of salary. If the learned Single Judge in Ext.P2<\/p>\n
had not intended to grant the prayer for arrears of salary, the direction<\/p>\n
would have been to grant all consequential benefits except arrears of<\/p>\n
salary.   So, the view taken by the learned Single Judge in the judgment<\/p>\n
under appeal that Ext.P2 confers on the first respondent herein the right<\/p>\n
to get arrears of salary is perfectly legal and valid. The decision relied on<\/p>\n
by the learned senior counsel for the appellants has no application to the<\/p>\n
facts of this case. It was a case where the Apex Court ordered revision of<\/p>\n
the seniority list and ordering of promotions in accordance with the rules<\/p>\n
based on the revised seniority list. In that context, the Apex Court held<\/p>\n
that persons found to be eligible to get promotion based on such seniority<\/p>\n
list cannot claim arrears of salary. In this case, the learned Single Judge<\/p>\n
found that the first respondent was denied appointment as Safety Officer<\/p>\n
wrongly and deliberately and, therefore, it was ordered that he was entitled<\/p>\n
to get all consequential benefits. Therefore, the principle laid down by the<\/p>\n
Apex Court in the above decision can have no application to the facts of<\/p>\n
this case. The challenge against the judgment under appeal to the extent it<\/p>\n
directs payment of arrears of salary to the first respondent is repelled. But,<\/p>\n
it is clarified that the direction of the learned Single Judge that the first<\/p>\n
W.A. NO. 884\/2009                     6<\/span><\/p>\n
respondent\/writ petitioner shall report to the Chief Executive of the<\/p>\n
company shall be read as to the Chief Executive of the factory concerned.<\/p>\n
     Subject to the above clarification, the Writ Appeal is dismissed.<\/p>\n
