In the above two cases even in the absence of counsel for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner, arguments of the counsel for the second respondent were<\/p>\n<p>heard and judgment was pronounced in open Court on 10.08.2009. After<\/p>\n<p>the judgment was dictated, the learned counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner-Bank made an oral submission in Court of his inability to be<\/p>\n<p>present at the time when the case was taken up and requested for re-<\/p>\n<p>hearing of the case. He urged that the order dictated on the basis that no<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992                           &#8211; 2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>recruitment rules were shown to the effect that the Appointing Authority<\/p>\n<p>had no competence and that the findings rendered in the judgment<\/p>\n<p>premised on the failure of the workman to bring to the attention of the<\/p>\n<p>relevant recruitment rules were incorrect and required to be recalled.<\/p>\n<p>In view of the legal submission with reference to rules which the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the petitioner wanted to make, I have recalled the order<\/p>\n<p>passed in open Court on 10.08.2009 and served a notice on both counsel<\/p>\n<p>to make submissions on 13.08.2009. This judgment is being delivered<\/p>\n<p>after fresh arguments advanced by the respective counsel of both sides.<\/p>\n<p>2.          Both the writ petitions are at the instance of the same<\/p>\n<p>management with reference to engagement of two different workmen.<\/p>\n<p>By the impugned awards, there had been a direction for reinstatement of<\/p>\n<p>the workmen with continuity of service and full back wages. The<\/p>\n<p>management is before this Court challenging the respective awards.<\/p>\n<p>3.          In Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992, the workman is<\/p>\n<p>alleged to have been appointed as a Clerk on 03.11.1986, reappointed on<\/p>\n<p>05.02.1987 and again given a fresh appointment on 06.05.1987, on each<\/p>\n<p>occasion for a term of 89 days on ad hoc basis. His services were alleged<\/p>\n<p>to have been terminated on 24.06.1987 before the completion of 240<\/p>\n<p>days, when the workman had 226 days only. The Labour Court found<\/p>\n<p>that the management had deliberately terminated his services in order<\/p>\n<p>that he had not completed 240 days, even when there was work available.<\/p>\n<p>Rejecting the plea on behalf of the management that the employment had<\/p>\n<p>been on contract basis for a stipulated time, the Labour Court held<\/p>\n<p>relying on the decision of this Court reported in 1990(1) LLJ 443 that the<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992                           &#8211; 3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>provisions of Section 2(oo)(bb) itself could be interpreted as only limited<\/p>\n<p>to a case where the work itself had been accomplished and the contract<\/p>\n<p>of appointment of the workman for a specific period was genuine. The<\/p>\n<p>Labour Court found that it was a regular work in a Bank and the<\/p>\n<p>management had indulged in unfair labour practice to deliberately hold<\/p>\n<p>him on employment for 89 days in a stretch with breaks in service to<\/p>\n<p>defeat the workman from claiming the benefits under the Industrial<\/p>\n<p>Disputes Act.    The Labour Court found that the management had<\/p>\n<p>appointed another workman Ram Kishan subsequently and he had been<\/p>\n<p>retained in service while only the workman was retrenched thereby<\/p>\n<p>violating the provisions of Section 25-H also.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.          As regards the case in Civil Writ Petition No.2099 of 1993,<\/p>\n<p>the workman was alleged to have been appointed as a Clerk for a term of<\/p>\n<p>89 days on 18.09.1986, again on 16.12.1986 and then on 24.03.1987 and<\/p>\n<p>his services were terminated on 20.06.1987. The Labour Court found he<\/p>\n<p>had completed 240 days of service and rejected the contention of the<\/p>\n<p>management that the termination did not amount to retrenchment by<\/p>\n<p>application of Section 2(oo)(bb) of the Industrial Disputes Act. The<\/p>\n<p>Labour Court held that there was no plea of the management that the<\/p>\n<p>work of a Clerk had come to an end and applying the very same<\/p>\n<p>judgment referred to above reported in 1990(1) LLJ 443, it had that the<\/p>\n<p>section was to be limited to the cases where the work had been<\/p>\n<p>accomplished and the appointment for a specific period was genuine. If<\/p>\n<p>the work was continuous, the non-renewal of the contract itself was to be<\/p>\n<p>dubbed as mala fide. Finding that the workman had completed 240 days<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992                           &#8211; 4-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>of service, it held applying the decision of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in<\/p>\n<p>1981 SCC (L&amp;S) 467, that the retrenchment without complying with<\/p>\n<p>Section 25-F would be void ab initio and he was declared entitled to be<\/p>\n<p>reinstated with full back wages.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.          At the forefront of his argument, the learned counsel<\/p>\n<p>appearing for the petitioner would submit that the appointment had been<\/p>\n<p>made by the Managing Director. As per the relevant rules in 9.1 of the<\/p>\n<p>Haryana State Central Co-operative Bank&#8217;s Staff Service (Common<\/p>\n<p>Cadre) Rules 1975, the authority to make appointments to various posts<\/p>\n<p>in each category shall vest in the Board, which may delegate all or some<\/p>\n<p>of its powers to the Administrative Committee or its Manager. To a<\/p>\n<p>query where there had been any contention in Civil Writ Petition<\/p>\n<p>No.11549 of 1992 that the Appointing Authority did not have such a<\/p>\n<p>power, the learned counsel conceded that there was no such averment but<\/p>\n<p>even if such a provision did not apply, he contended that by virtue of the<\/p>\n<p>rule 9.4 which applied to appointment by direct recruitment, except in<\/p>\n<p>cases of ah hoc appointments where the period shall not exceed six<\/p>\n<p>months, all other appointments were required to be made after prior<\/p>\n<p>advertisement in at least one leading newspaper and obtaining the names<\/p>\n<p>of the candidates from Employment Exchange mentioning qualifications<\/p>\n<p>etc.   According to him, no such advertisement had been issued and<\/p>\n<p>therefore, the appointment was irregular and a backdoor entry. In Civil<\/p>\n<p>Writ Petition No.2099 of 1993, the very same management has taken a<\/p>\n<p>specific plea that the Managing Director did not have a power to appoint<\/p>\n<p>and the workman had not been filed a reply to the same. The attempt on<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992                           &#8211; 5-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>behalf of the management was, therefore, that in view of the decision of<\/p>\n<p>the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court in Secretary, State of Karnataka Versus<\/p>\n<p>Uma Devi-2006(4) SCC 1, the appointment in public office, which was<\/p>\n<p>in violation of the recruitment rules would be bad in law and there cannot<\/p>\n<p>be a direction for reinstatement. The learned counsel for the workman<\/p>\n<p>would state that his client was not seeking for any regularization as it<\/p>\n<p>happened in the case of Uma Devi, that he was merely complaining of<\/p>\n<p>the fact that the termination effected of a workman without notice under<\/p>\n<p>Section 25-F was bad. The learned counsel for the management would<\/p>\n<p>persist if the decision of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court would not apply, a<\/p>\n<p>Division Bench of this Court in Divisional Forest Officer, Rohtak<\/p>\n<p>Versus Jagat Singh and another-2009(2)PLR 586, has held that a daily<\/p>\n<p>rated worker appointed de hors the rules of recruitment and without<\/p>\n<p>inviting applications from eligible candidates cannot complain of<\/p>\n<p>violation of Section 25-F and seek for reinstatement. The judgment was<\/p>\n<p>also an authority for the proposition, referring to a decision in Jaipur<\/p>\n<p>Development Authority Versus Ramsahai and another-(2006) 11<\/p>\n<p>Supreme Court Cases 684, that even if there had been violation of<\/p>\n<p>Section 25-G, a daily rated worker would not be entitled to<\/p>\n<p>reinstatement. The Hon&#8217;ble Bench of this Court was considering the<\/p>\n<p>case of the termination of a daily wager whose engagement of service<\/p>\n<p>had come to an end by virtue of the application under Section 2(oo)(bb)<\/p>\n<p>of the Act. The learned counsel appearing on behalf of the management<\/p>\n<p>also refers to a decision in Punjab State Electricity Board Versus<\/p>\n<p>Darbara Singh-2006 SCC (L&amp;S) 64, that held if an appointment of a<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992                            &#8211; 6-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>daily rated worker was made conditional on the fact that the regular<\/p>\n<p>employee were to be appointed, his service would come to an end, the<\/p>\n<p>Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court held the case would be squarely covered by<\/p>\n<p>Section 2(oo)(bb) and Section 25-F would not be inapplicable.<\/p>\n<p>6.           In my view, the decision of the Hon&#8217;ble Division Bench in<\/p>\n<p>Jagat Singh&#8217;s case as well as the decision of the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court<\/p>\n<p>in Punjab State Electricity Board would not apply to this case for those<\/p>\n<p>decisions dealt with the excepted category that would not fall within the<\/p>\n<p>definition of &#8216;retrenchment&#8217; by virtue of Section 2(oo)(bb). In this case,<\/p>\n<p>we have specific finding rendered by the Labour Court that although the<\/p>\n<p>Clerks were purported to have been appointed on contract basis, the<\/p>\n<p>nature of work was such that it did not merely cease on the expiry of 89<\/p>\n<p>days made at different times and that the engagement had been made for<\/p>\n<p>period less than 90 days only to prevent the workman from completing<\/p>\n<p>240 days and to defeat the workman from claiming any benefits under<\/p>\n<p>the Industrial Disputes Act. In view of a clear finding that Section 2(oo)<\/p>\n<p>(bb) did not apply and that the work was of a continuous nature and that<\/p>\n<p>further the management had indulged in unfair labour practice, I find that<\/p>\n<p>the termination of the workman without resort to Section 25-F was<\/p>\n<p>illegal and bad.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.    The issue of reinstatement ought to naturally follow except in this<\/p>\n<p>case it is brought on record to my notice by a specific pleading in Civil<\/p>\n<p>Writ Petition No.2099 of 1993, that the person who appointed the<\/p>\n<p>workman namely the Managing Director did not have authority to<\/p>\n<p>appoint and that fact was not refuted by reply by the workman. In Civil<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992                           &#8211; 7-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992, there is not even such a plea that the<\/p>\n<p>workman had been appointed by a person who was not competent to<\/p>\n<p>appoint. Aware of the predicament of a lack of pleading before the<\/p>\n<p>Labour Court which if it had been done, it should have been possible for<\/p>\n<p>the workman to even prove the fact that the Managing Director had been<\/p>\n<p>delegated with such a power. The learned counsel appearing for the<\/p>\n<p>management would, therefore, contend even without reference to such<\/p>\n<p>lack of power, rule 9.4 requires that the employment shall be by<\/p>\n<p>advertisement for all cases other than ad hoc appointment. It could be<\/p>\n<p>noticed that the orders of appointment were cited to be ad hoc but we<\/p>\n<p>have already held that it was a deliberate ploy by the management to<\/p>\n<p>defeat the workmen from claiming the benefits of the Industrial Disputes<\/p>\n<p>Act. If it was a non-ad hoc post and the appointment had been made<\/p>\n<p>without resort to the rules, it shall not be permissible for the workman to<\/p>\n<p>claim reinstatement. The learned counsel for the workman, however,<\/p>\n<p>points out that the very same bank had appointed several other persons<\/p>\n<p>whose cases had been dealt with even in the year 1993 when the order of<\/p>\n<p>retrenchment by the Labour Court was refused to be interfered with in<\/p>\n<p>Civil Writ Petition No.2142 of 1993 filed by the very same bank. Nine<\/p>\n<p>other workmen had the benefit of the services being even subsequently<\/p>\n<p>regularized but by the only fact that the writ petitions were not taken up<\/p>\n<p>at the same time, the very same management was taking up a different<\/p>\n<p>plea denying the competence of the Managing Director to appoint and<\/p>\n<p>citing illegality of the rules.    Such an action on the part of the<\/p>\n<p>management is submitted by the learned counsel as discriminatory.<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992                            &#8211; 8-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>8.           If the appointment was bad initially but however, the<\/p>\n<p>termination of the employment ultimately had been made in violation of<\/p>\n<p>Section 25-F while at the same time allowing several other persons who<\/p>\n<p>were appointed in the same fashion to continue in service by allowing<\/p>\n<p>the decision passed by this Court in Civil Writ Petition No.2142 of 1993<\/p>\n<p>to become final, the only appropriate benefit that could be extended to<\/p>\n<p>these two workmen shall be at least compensation for the illegality in<\/p>\n<p>terminations without reference to Section 25-F. Having regard to the<\/p>\n<p>long pendency of case and the denial of employment only to the 2<\/p>\n<p>workmen, while the other persons had been reinstated, the appropriate<\/p>\n<p>compensation in each case, in my view, shall be Two Lakh rupees.<\/p>\n<p>9.           The respective awards of the Labour Court which are the<\/p>\n<p>subject of challenge in the above said two writ petitions, are set aside and<\/p>\n<p>the workmen shall be entitled only to compensation of Two Lakh rupees<\/p>\n<p>each in lieu of reinstatement, which shall be paid within six weeks from<\/p>\n<p>the date of receipt of the copy of this order, failing which the amounts<\/p>\n<p>shall bear simple interest of 7.5% per annum.\n<\/p>\n<p>10.          The writ petitions are disposed of as above.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                                            (K.KANNAN)<br \/>\n                                                               JUDGE<br \/>\n19.08.2009<br \/>\nsanjeev\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Punjab-Haryana High Court The Karnal Central Cooperative &#8230; vs State Of Haryana And Others on 19 August, 2009 IN THE HIGH COURT OF PUNJAB AND HARYANA AT CHANDIGARH Civil Writ Petition No.11549 of 1992 Date of decision:19.08.2009 The Karnal Central Cooperative Bank Limited, Karnal &#8230;Petitioner versus State of Haryana and others &#8230;..Respondents 2.
