Mr. Alpesh J. Patel, learned Advocate,<br \/>\n     appears and waives service of Rule on behalf of the<br \/>\n     respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_11\"> 2.This Court, on 1st October, 2001, adjourned this<br \/>\nmatter by passing an order, which reads as under :\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_12\"> &#8220;S.O.    to 23rd October, 2001 for final disposal.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_13\">         Leave to replace Annexure `C&#8217; and Mr.        A.J.<br \/>\n         Patel waives notice in this behalf.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_14\">It is required to be noted that Mr.    Alpesh J.<br \/>\nPatel, learned Advocate for the respondent workman, very<br \/>\nwell knew about the matter since then.   Thereafter, the<br \/>\norder sheet records that the matter is adjourned on six<br \/>\noccasions. However, the Computer Board shows that the<br \/>\nmatter is listed for nine times. Mr. Alpesh J. Patel,<br \/>\nlearned Advocate for the respondent, submitted that the<br \/>\nmatter was adjourned on account of heavy Board as it<br \/>\ncould not be taken up by the Court.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_15\">3.Today, when the matter is taken up for final<br \/>\nhearing, after the learned Advocate for the petitioner<br \/>\ncompleted his arguments, Mr.    Alpesh J. Patel, learned<br \/>\nAdvocate for the respondent, started his arguments and<br \/>\nwhen he found that the Court is not inclined to accept<br \/>\nhis submissions, he made a request for adjourning the<br \/>\nmatter for a week for enabling him to file a reply. The<br \/>\nrequest is not only unreasonable, but, is also not bona<br \/>\nfide   inasmuch as after having allowed the learned<br \/>\nAdvocate appearing for the petitioner to complete his<br \/>\narguments, when the Court is not inclined to accept his<br \/>\nsubmissions, he made this request, which is rejected by<br \/>\nthis Court.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_16\">4.The present matter is in a very narrow compass.<br \/>\nThe respondent-workman was appointed as a peon on 18th<br \/>\nFebruary, 1984 purely on temporary basis. A copy of the<br \/>\nappointment order is annexed at Annexure-A. Thereafter,<br \/>\nthe respondent-workman came to be appointed as a watchman<br \/>\nby an order dated 28th February, 1985, a copy of which is<br \/>\nalso produced at Annexure-A collectively, page 12. There<br \/>\nis no dispute about the same. It was only in the year<br \/>\n1987, when the respondent-workman was posted to work as a<br \/>\nwatchman in the night shift in `Navin Yard&#8217; opened by the<br \/>\npetitioner-Agricultural    Produce    Market    Committee<br \/>\n(hereinafter referred to as &#8220;APMC&#8221; for short), the<br \/>\nrespondent was found to be not punctual and lacking in<br \/>\nsincerity in discharge of duties.    He was, therefore,<br \/>\nissued several show cause notices and even warnings.<br \/>\nSince 12th January, 1990, the respondent-workman stopped<br \/>\nreporting for duty.     The petitioner-APMC issued show<br \/>\ncause notice dated 15th January, 1990 to show cause as to<br \/>\nwhy he has remained absent from duty since 12th January,<br \/>\n 1990.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_17\">5.The respondent-workman filed his reply dated 19th<br \/>\nJanuary, 1990, a copy of which is produced at Annexure-A<br \/>\ncollectively, page 15 to the petition, which is also<br \/>\nmarked as Exh.   49 of the Labour Court proceedings. The<br \/>\nsaid reply to the show cause notice makes an interesting<br \/>\nreading.   It appears that with a view to see that the<br \/>\npetitioner-APMC assigns him the work of peon, he made all<br \/>\nsorts of averments to the effect that, he belongs to<br \/>\nBhavsar community; he is single bodied; he is very timid<br \/>\nand what to work as a `night watchman&#8217;; he is afraid of<br \/>\neven coming out during night hours; he has no ability to<br \/>\nwork as a watchman; he is terribly         scared   while<br \/>\ndischarging duties as a watchman; and, he is having<br \/>\nconstant fear that he will be killed by somebody.     The<br \/>\nsaid explanation, after having been received, was replied<br \/>\nby petitioner-APMC vide a letter dated 25\/01\/1990. The<br \/>\nrespondent-workman, then, approached the Labour Court and<br \/>\nthe Labour Court, by its judgement and award dated 29th<br \/>\nJanuary, 2001, in Reference (LCH) No. 244 of 1996, with<br \/>\nmaterial contradictory observations and findings, ordered<br \/>\nreinstatement without back wages.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_18\">6.The important point on which the Labour Court has<br \/>\nerred is in paragraph 9. The Labour Court has recorded<br \/>\nthat, &#8220;From the record of the case, it is proved that the<br \/>\nrespondent-workman is not given a show cause notice.&#8221;<br \/>\nThis is not correct on the face of the record inasmuch as<br \/>\nthe show cause notice dated 15th January, 1990 is<br \/>\nproduced at Annexure-B to this petition, which is marked<br \/>\nas Exh.41 of the Labour Court proceedings. The Labour<br \/>\nCourt, then, proceeded to observe that, `no departmental<br \/>\ninquiry is held against the respondent workman and,<br \/>\ntherefore, without    adopting   legal   procedure,   the<br \/>\nconcerned workman is not allowed to attend his duties.&#8217;<br \/>\nBoth these observations are unwarranted inasmuch as when<br \/>\nit is clear from the record of the case that the<br \/>\nrespondent-workman himself stopped reporting for duty.<br \/>\nFurther,   the   show   cause   notice   issued   by the<br \/>\npetitioner-APMC is replied by him, the reply is already<br \/>\non record as discussed hereinabove. There is no question<br \/>\nof   petitioner-APMC   having   not followed the legal<br \/>\nprocedure and not allowing the respondent-workman to<br \/>\nresume his duties.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_19\">7.It is surprising that the Labour Court, without<br \/>\ntaking into consideration as to what is the controversy<br \/>\ninvolved in the case, has observed in the same paragraph<br \/>\nas under :\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_20\">  &#8220;The   concerned workman has worked as a peon and<br \/>\n         watchman from 20th February, 1984       to   18th<br \/>\n         January, 1990 continuously with the first party<br \/>\n         institution and, therefore, he has completed more<br \/>\n         than 240 days service.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_21\">It is difficult to appreciate as to what is the<br \/>\nsignificance of these observations. The question of the<br \/>\nrespondent-workman having worked for 240 days was not at<br \/>\nall before the Labour Court. It seems that the learned<br \/>\nJudge of the Labour Court, without any application of<br \/>\nmind to the facts of the case by a force of habit, made<br \/>\nsuch observations. It seems that after having reached to<br \/>\nthe conclusion that the Court is to pass an order for<br \/>\nreinstatement, the reasons are supplied. The second part<br \/>\nof paragraph 9 of the judgement and award reads that,<br \/>\n&#8220;When an employee has worked for more than 240 days in a<br \/>\nyear, then, only after following the provisions of the<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/doc\/500379\/\" id=\"a_1\">Industrial Disputes Act<\/a>, 1947, a step of terminating the<br \/>\nservices   of the workman can be taken against the<br \/>\nworkman.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_22\">Without   appreciating   the   real   controversy<br \/>\ninvolved in the matter, namely, whether it was the<br \/>\nrespondent-workman, who stopped reporting for duty of his<br \/>\nown or the petitioner-APMC restrained him from reporting<br \/>\nand without taking into consideration that the respondent<br \/>\nworkman has not only admitted in reply to the show cause<br \/>\nnotice, but has also admitted in the deposition before<br \/>\nthe Labour Court, a copy of which is also produced in the<br \/>\npetition, being Exh.10 (Annexure-C, page 19). In the<br \/>\nsaid deposition, the relevant portion reads as under :\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_23\"> &#8220;The present case is filed so as to get the<br \/>\n        services as a peon.      It is true that I am not<br \/>\n        ready to work as night watchman. It is true that<br \/>\n        I had worked as a night watchman         in   the<br \/>\n        institution.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_24\">The learned Judge of the Labour Court being<br \/>\nunmindful of the contents of the deposition of the<br \/>\nrespondent-workman has held that as the first party has<br \/>\nnot held the departmental inquiry, the action of not<br \/>\nallowing the respondent-workman to report for duty is<br \/>\nunreasonable, illegal and violative of principles of<br \/>\nnatural justice. In the same breath, the learned Judge<br \/>\nof the Labour Court has observed that, &#8220;However, the<br \/>\nconcerned workman has not remained present on duty since<br \/>\n12th January, 1990 of his own, is proved and, therefore,<br \/>\nthe concerned workman is not entitled for the back<br \/>\nwages.&#8221;\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_25\"> All these findings show that       the  impugned<br \/>\njudgement and award of the Labour Court is nothing, but,<br \/>\na clear case of non application of mind and is without<br \/>\nappreciating the documentary as well as oral evidence<br \/>\nproduced on the record and, therefore, the same is<br \/>\nrequired to be quashed and set aside.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_26\">8.Mr. K.M. Patel, learned Advocate appearing for<br \/>\nthe petitioner-APMC, relied upon the judgement of the<br \/>\nApex Court reported in 1999(7) SCC 332, 2001(1) SCC 424<br \/>\nand also a judgement of this Court, reported in 2001 (3)<br \/>\nGLR 2045, wherein one of the aforesaid judgement of the<br \/>\nApex Court is followed.   Mr. K.M. Patel submitted that<br \/>\nthe present judgement and award is not only misconceived,<br \/>\nbut, the same has resulted in miscarriage of justice.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_27\">9.Mr. Alpesh J. Patel, learned Advocate appearing<br \/>\nfor the respondent-workman, submitted that though he was<br \/>\nappointed as a watchman by a letter dated 28th February,<br \/>\n1985, he was assigned duties as peon in the office, by an<br \/>\norder dated 5th November, 1986. A copy of that office<br \/>\norder is placed on record. He also produced a statement<br \/>\nabout the working of the respondent-workman in the<br \/>\npetitioner-APMC and by relying upon it, he contended that<br \/>\nthough    the    respondent-workman  was appointed as a<br \/>\nwatchman, the petitioner-APMC has utilised his services<br \/>\nas peon.      He submitted that it was not open for the<br \/>\npetitioner-APMC to post him as a night watchman at Navin<br \/>\nYard.    He, therefore, contended that the judgement and<br \/>\naward of the Labour Court awarding reinstatement to the<br \/>\nrespondent-workman is just and proper and the same is<br \/>\nrequired to be upheld by this Court.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_28\">10.Mr. Alpesh J. Patel, learned Advocate for the<br \/>\nrespondent-workman, also relied upon a judgement of the<br \/>\nApex Court in the matter between D.K. Yadav and J.M.A.<br \/>\nIndustries Limited, reported in 1993 (II) LLJ 696. The<br \/>\nsaid judgement of the Apex Court has no application to<br \/>\nthe facts of the present case as there is nothing common<br \/>\nto the facts of the present case and the facts of that<br \/>\ncase.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_29\">11.In view of the aforesaid discussion, the present<br \/>\npetition is allowed. Rule is made absolute with no order<br \/>\nas to costs.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_30\">(Ravi R.
