They<\/p>\n<p>dragged out the driver and conductor of the bus and gave severe beatings to<\/p>\n<p>them besides damaging the bus and harassing the passengers and also<\/p>\n<p>absented from duty with effect from the said date. The petitioner was<\/p>\n<p>charge-sheeted.    In the inquiry report, it was held that all the charges<\/p>\n<p>levelled against the petitioner in the charge-sheet were fully proved and his<\/p>\n<p>services were terminated. Feeling aggrieved therewith, the petitioner served<\/p>\n<p>demand notice. The dispute was referred to the Presiding Officer, Labour<\/p>\n<p>Court, Bathinda.     The following issues were framed by the learned<\/p>\n<p>Presiding Officer of the Labour Court:-\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>            &#8220;(i)   Whether the inquiry is fair and proper?<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> C.W.P. No.678 of 1988                                     -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             (ii)    Whether the order of termination of the services of the<\/p>\n<p>                     workman is justified?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>             (iii)   Relief.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>             After recording evidence and hearing the representatives of the<\/p>\n<p>parties, the learned Presiding Officer of the Labour Court held that &#8220;the<\/p>\n<p>workman is not entitled to reinstatement but compensation in lieu of<\/p>\n<p>wrongful dismissal which I assess at Rs.7500\/- with no order as to costs.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Feeling aggrieved therewith, the petitioner- workman has filed this petition.<\/p>\n<p>             I have heard the learned counsel for the petitioner. None has<\/p>\n<p>put in appearance on behalf of the respondent- Sumundri Roadways Private<\/p>\n<p>Limited, Muktsar.      Ms.     Deepinder Kaur appearing on behalf of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner agitated at the bar that the services of one Kulwinder Singh,<\/p>\n<p>driver of the respondent- Management were also terminated along with the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner on the ground that he had indulged in the acts of vandalism along<\/p>\n<p>with the petitioner, Major Singh and Randhir Singh and he (Kulwinder<\/p>\n<p>singh) also raised an industrial dispute which was referred for adjudication<\/p>\n<p>to the Presiding Officer of the Labour Court, Bathinda- respondent, who has<\/p>\n<p>reinstated Kulwinder Singh vide award dated 9.6.1987 Annexure P.2 and<\/p>\n<p>thus on applying the rule of parity, the petitioner is also liable to be<\/p>\n<p>reinstated. She further pressed into service that the services of the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>were terminated without any fair and proper inquiry, though he had served<\/p>\n<p>with the respondent- Management for five years and the order of<\/p>\n<p>termination of his services amount to retrenchment but nonetheless<\/p>\n<p>retrenchment compensation has not been paid. She has sought to place<\/p>\n<p>abundant reliance upon the observations made by the Apex Court in re:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/doc\/538062\/\">Mohan Lal v. The Management of M\/s Bharat Electronics Limited, AIR<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> C.W.P. No.678 of<\/span><\/a> 1988                                   -3-<\/p>\n<p>1981 Supreme Court 1253, wherein it has been held as under:-<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>            &#8220;Where the termination is illegal especially where there is an<\/p>\n<p>            ineffective order of retrenchment, there is neither termination<\/p>\n<p>            nor cessation of service and a declaration follows that the<\/p>\n<p>            workman concerned continues to be in service with all<\/p>\n<p>            consequential benefits, namely back wages in full and other<\/p>\n<p>            benefits.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>            On giving a thoughtful consideration to these submissions, I am<\/p>\n<p>unable to persuade myself to agree therewith for the reasons to be recorded<\/p>\n<p>hereinafter. Of course, the Labour Court has observed that the workman<\/p>\n<p>having been dismissed without fair and proper inquiry, without notice and<\/p>\n<p>compensation envisaged in Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act,<\/p>\n<p>1947, the termination of his services is illegal. But one thing is clear that<\/p>\n<p>domestic inquiry was held. In the relief clause of the impugned award, the<\/p>\n<p>learned Labour Court has observed that &#8220;on the evidence of Gurdip Singh,<\/p>\n<p>Conductor MW\/4, corroborated by the certified copy of the FIR, Ex.M\/30,<\/p>\n<p>the workman along with three others had intercepted bus No.PEF -425 of<\/p>\n<p>the respondent on 16.1.1984, when it was proceeding from Muktsar to<\/p>\n<p>Ferozepur, had pulled out Gurdip Singh, conductor and Balwinder Singh,<\/p>\n<p>driver and caused injuries, visible to the Doctor of the Civil Hospital,<\/p>\n<p>Muktsar, who recorded the same in the medical report, copies of which are<\/p>\n<p>Ex. M\/28 and M\/29. The passengers travelling in the bus escaped in fear.<\/p>\n<p>The workman also damaged the window panes of the bus.                    The<\/p>\n<p>Management also suspects on a reasonable ground that the workman had<\/p>\n<p>committed embezzlement of its revenue.         With these credentials, the<\/p>\n<p>workman cannot in my opinion rendered any meaningful service for the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> C.W.P. No.678 of 1988                                     -4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Management and must not, therefore, be reinstated.&#8221; To me, it appears that<\/p>\n<p>no fault can be found with these observations.\n<\/p>\n<p>            In re: <a href=\"\/doc\/1889443\/\">Regional Manager, R.S.R.T.C. v. Ghanshyam<\/p>\n<p>Sharma,<\/a> 2002(3) Recent Services Judgments 77, the respondent was<\/p>\n<p>employed as a Conductor by the appellant. On more than one occasion, he<\/p>\n<p>was punished having been charge-sheeted on the ground of not issuing the<\/p>\n<p>tickets to the passengers. He was found carrying 23-1\/2 passengers without<\/p>\n<p>tickets and an inquiry was conducted and he was removed from service.<\/p>\n<p>The Labour Court upheld the finding that respondent is guilty of<\/p>\n<p>misconduct of carrying 23-1\/2 passengers without tickets but ordered<\/p>\n<p>reinstatement with continuity of service without back-wages. The Apex<\/p>\n<p>Court ruled that &#8220;in cases like the present, order of dismissal should not be<\/p>\n<p>set aside. It will be misplaced sympathy to order his reinstatement instead<\/p>\n<p>of dismissal.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p>            Adverting to the facts of the instant case, as has been reflected<\/p>\n<p>in the impugned award and reproduced above, the petitioner along with<\/p>\n<p>others indulged into vandalism and caused injuries to the driver as well as<\/p>\n<p>conductor of the bus which created panic amongst the passengers who had<\/p>\n<p>to run away. So much so, even FIR was got registered. Their such conduct<\/p>\n<p>in proprio-vigore is enough to hold that they were not fit to be retained in<\/p>\n<p>service and order of termination could not be set aside.           Coming to<\/p>\n<p>Annexure P.2, the award dated 9.6.1987 passed by the learned Presiding<\/p>\n<p>Officer of the Labour Court, Bathinda holding that the workman (referring<\/p>\n<p>to Kulwinder Singh) is entitled to reinstatement with continuity of service, it<\/p>\n<p>is pertinent to point here that it was found in Kulwinder Singh&#8217;s case that his<\/p>\n<p>services were terminated on the ground of serious misconduct but without<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> C.W.P. No.678 of 1988                                     -5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>holding a domestic inquiry though such inquiry had admittedly been held in<\/p>\n<p>the present case. This is the distinguishing feature. That being so, on the<\/p>\n<p>basis of Annexure P.2, it does not lie in the mouth of the petitioner-<\/p>\n<p>workman to contend that he is also entitled to be reinstated into service.<\/p>\n<p>Ostensibly, the law by way of evolution has undergone metamorphosis after<\/p>\n<p>1981.    Sequelly, the petitioner cannot derive any mileage from the<\/p>\n<p>observations rendered in re: Mohan Lal (supra).\n<\/p>\n<p>            In the ultimate analysis, it transpires that the impugned award<\/p>\n<p>does not suffer from any illegality or infirmity or perversity or material<\/p>\n<p>irregularity. Consequently, this petition is dismissed.<\/p>\n<pre>September 09, 2008                                ( HARBANS LAL )\nrenu                                                   JUDGE\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court Hamir Singh vs The Sumundri Roadways on 9 September, 2008 C.W.P.
