Basheer, J.\n<\/p>\n
\n
      These two appeals unravel yet another instance of callous<\/p>\n
apathy that an employee had to face at the hands of a Government<\/p>\n
owned company. It appears that the appellant\/company now wants<\/p>\n
to redeem its prestige and show the employee that it means business.<\/p>\n
But at whose cost? Definitely it cannot be at the cost of the employee.<\/p>\n
      2.   Shorn of unnecessary details, the relevant facts which led to<\/p>\n
this prolonged litigation may be briefly noticed.<\/p>\n
        Respondent No.2 who joined the service of the company as<\/p>\n
Welder Gr.III way back in 1979 faced disciplinary proceedings on the<\/p>\n
charge that he had abstained from duty without permission.          His<\/p>\n
services were terminated. Ultimately he was ordered to be reinstated<\/p>\n
in service with backwages.      But it is on record that the punishment<\/p>\n
imposed on the employee was confined to barring of one increment<\/p>\n
with cumulative effect from the date of imposition of punishment. Be<\/p>\n
that as it may, the employee came back in service and superannuated<\/p>\n
on May 31, 2001. It is conceded by the appellant that the employee<\/p>\n
W.A.802 & 806 of 2010
\n                                   2<\/span><\/p>\n
was entitled to backwages and other service benefits from March 7,<\/p>\n
1983 to October 10, 1990 in the scale of pay applicable to him with<\/p>\n
consequential grade promotions. It is also not in dispute that he was<\/p>\n
entitled to the difference in backwages from October 1990 till the date<\/p>\n
of his superannuation, apart from gratuity for the entire length of his<\/p>\n
service viz. 22 years.\n<\/p>\n
      3.    According to the appellant, the employee was given<\/p>\n
promotion as Gr.II Welder with effect from September 27, 1986 and to<\/p>\n
the cadre of Gr.I with effect from September 27, 1996.          But the<\/p>\n
grievance of the employee was that even after reinstatement he was<\/p>\n
not paid salary in the grades applicable to him.<\/p>\n
      4. Therefore in the year 2005, the employee filed an application<\/p>\n
under sec.33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act<\/a> (for short, the Act)<\/p>\n
before the Labour Court for computation of the monetary benefits<\/p>\n
which were due to him. A copy of the said application is available on<\/p>\n
record as Ext.P4. In this application the employee cited the case of<\/p>\n
one of his erstwhile colleagues viz. Sri Gopalakrishnan who retired as<\/p>\n
Gr.I Welder and contended that he     also was eligible to get the same<\/p>\n
scale of pay and other service benefits as were paid to Sri<\/p>\n
Gopalakrishnan. It was on that basis that the employee contended<\/p>\n
that he was entitled to get a total sum of Rs.2,74,000\/- towards<\/p>\n
difference in wages apart from balance gratuity for 22 years.       The<\/p>\n
W.A.802 & 806 of 2010
\n                                   3<\/span><\/p>\n
claim was allowed in toto by the Labour Court by its order dated<\/p>\n
September 28, 2005 as is revealed from a copy of the order which is<\/p>\n
available on record as Ext.P5 and the appellant\/employer was directed<\/p>\n
to pay the amount       with 9% interest thereon from the date of order<\/p>\n
till the date of realisation.\n<\/p>\n
       5.    The present round of litigation started in the above<\/p>\n
background.      The employee filed Writ Petition (C) No.33549\/2009<\/p>\n
complaining that the order of the Labour Court was being willfully<\/p>\n
disobeyed by the appellant. He therefore prayed for issue of a writ of<\/p>\n
mandamus or such other appropriate writ or direction to the<\/p>\n
Government and the Revenue Authorities to recover the entire<\/p>\n
amounts due under the order passed by the Labour Court and deposit<\/p>\n
the same before the Labour Court for disbursement to him.<\/p>\n
       6. Close on the heels of this writ petition the appellant filed Writ<\/p>\n
Petition (C) No.36731\/2009 seeking to quash Ext.P5 order passed by<\/p>\n
the Labour Court, contending inter alia that the said order was ex-<\/p>\n
facie illegal, vitiated and     without jurisdiction.      Various other<\/p>\n
contentions were raised by the appellant in support of its plea that the<\/p>\n
former employee was not entitled to the amounts claimed in his<\/p>\n
application under sec.33C(2) of the Act. But the main plank of the<\/p>\n
attack raised      against Ext.P5 order was that the appellant was<\/p>\n
prevented from contesting the case before the Labour Court since its<\/p>\n
W.A.802 & 806 of 2010
\n                                   4<\/span><\/p>\n
counsel happened to be suffering from some cardiac ailment and<\/p>\n
therefore he could not effectively project the case of the appellant<\/p>\n
before the Labour Court.\n<\/p>\n
       7. The two writ petitions were disposed of by a learned Single<\/p>\n
Judge holding that the claim made by the employee was wholly<\/p>\n
justifiable and that the contention now raised by the appellant that it<\/p>\n
was prevented from contesting the case because of the ailment of its<\/p>\n
counsel cannot be countenanced at this belated stage.<\/p>\n
       8. Sri Joseph Kodianthara, learned Sr. Counsel who appears for<\/p>\n
the appellant, submits that even on the face of the failure of the<\/p>\n
appellant to contest the case before the Labour Court, it ought to have<\/p>\n
been ensured by the Court concerned that the order that it passed did<\/p>\n
not suffer from any legal infirmity. It is contended by the learned Sr.<\/p>\n
Counsel that the claim made by the former employee of the appellant<\/p>\n
could not have been entertained under sec.33C(2)of the Act for the<\/p>\n
simple reason that the claim called for adjudication of an issue which<\/p>\n
the Labour Court could not have entertained under sec.33C(2)of the<\/p>\n
Act.    In this context learned Sr. Counsel invites our attention to a<\/p>\n
decision of Their Lordships of the Supreme Court in D.Krishnan and<\/p>\n
another v. Special Officer, Vellore Co-operative Sugar Mill and another<\/a><\/p>\n
(2008) 7 SCC 22. He also draws our attention to yet another decision<\/p>\n
of a learned Single Judge of this Court in Divisional Personnel Officer,<\/p>\n
W.A.802 & 806 of 2010
\n                                     5<\/span><\/p>\n
Southern Railway v. Kamalam and others<\/a> (1988 (2) KLT 835).<\/p>\n
      9.   It is trite that the power and jurisdiction exercisable by the<\/p>\n
Labour Court      under sec.33C(2)of the Act is well delineated and<\/p>\n
defined.    As has been indicated by us earlier,     the employee in his<\/p>\n
application had claimed certain benefits with a request to treat him on<\/p>\n
par with the case of a former colleague of his (Sri Gopalakrishnan) who<\/p>\n
retired from service as Gr.I Welder.         The case of the employee<\/p>\n
appeared to be that by virtue of the order of reinstatement, he was<\/p>\n
entitled to get all service benefits including grade promotions which fell<\/p>\n
due from time to time. The contention of the employee        was that he<\/p>\n
was entitled to have been promoted as Welder Gr.I before his<\/p>\n
superannuation and thus all service benefits that were paid to Sri<\/p>\n
Gopalakrishnan ought to have been paid to him also.<\/p>\n
      10. It is pointed out by Sri Gopakumar, learned counsel for the<\/p>\n
employee,    that the only prayer in the claim petition was that the<\/p>\n
benefits payable to him be computed in terms of the order of<\/p>\n
reinstatement passed in his favour and he did not ask for anything<\/p>\n
more.     Learned counsel invites our attention to Ext.P3 judgment of<\/p>\n
this Court in which it was made explicit that the employee should be<\/p>\n
given all service benefits treating him as though he had been in<\/p>\n
continuous     service from the date of expulsion till the date of<\/p>\n
reinstatement, except the bar of one increment with cumulative effect.<\/p>\n
W.A.802 & 806 of 2010
\n                                   6<\/span><\/p>\n
We do not propose to deal with this issue at this stage in view of the<\/p>\n
order that we propose to pass.\n<\/p>\n
      11.    We are quite aware of the predicament and heartburn of<\/p>\n
the employee who is before us. As has been noticed already, he<\/p>\n
superannuated about nine years back.        He had to remain out of<\/p>\n
service for quite a number of years before he was reinstated in<\/p>\n
service. It is true that he had been paid sec.17B wages. But learned<\/p>\n
counsel submits that the scar that is left behind by the treatment<\/p>\n
meted out to him by his former employer         still remains unhealed.<\/p>\n
The impugned order passed by the Labour Court           reveals that the<\/p>\n
appellant was set ex parte and that the claim made by the former<\/p>\n
employee was allowed in its entirety only because the application was<\/p>\n
not contested by the appellant. This flaw in the impugned order has to<\/p>\n
be corrected. But any opportunity that is to be given to the appellant<\/p>\n
will entail the necessary consequences.      We are satisfied that the<\/p>\n
appellant can be given an opportunity to salvage the situation to the<\/p>\n
extent possible, without causing any further          heartburn to the<\/p>\n
employee concerned.\n<\/p>\n
      12.    Thus, having regard to the entire facts and circumstances,<\/p>\n
particularly the fact that Ext.P5 order had been passed by the Labour<\/p>\n
Court without a proper adjudication of the issue, persuades us to<\/p>\n
direct the Labour Court to decide the question of jurisdictional<\/p>\n
W.A.802 & 806 of 2010
\n                                  7<\/span><\/p>\n
competence to pass orders on Ext.P4 application filed by the employee<\/p>\n
under sec.33C(2)of the Act.   We have kept in view the decision of the<\/p>\n
Apex Court in Krishnan’s case (supra) also.\n<\/p>\n
       13.  Therefore Ext.P5 order is set aside on the following terms:<\/p>\n
            a) The appellant shall pay a sum of Rs.25,000\/- as cost to<\/p>\n
            respondent No.2 within one week from today.        The cost<\/p>\n
            shall be paid by way of a demand draft drawn in favour of<\/p>\n
            respondent No.2 and the same shall be handed over to Sri<\/p>\n
            Gopakumar, learned counsel who appears for him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
            b) The appellant shall deposit 75% of the amount awarded<\/p>\n
            in Ext.P5 order before the Labour Court within six weeks<\/p>\n
            from today.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\n<\/blockquote>\n
The Labour Court shall dispose of Ext.P4 application strictly on its<\/p>\n
merit and in accordance with law, as expeditiously as possible, at any<\/p>\n
rate, within two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this<\/p>\n
judgment.      Needless to mention, the Labour Court shall afford<\/p>\n
sufficient opportunity, not only to the appellant, but to respondent<\/p>\n
No.2 also, to adduce further evidence in support of their contentions.<\/p>\n
