The only<\/p>\n<p>contention now urged before me by the petitioners is Ground &#8220;C&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>in the writ petition which reads thus:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote id=\"blockquote_1\"><p>            &#8220;C.    The evidence given by the manager as MW1 before the<br \/>\n      enquiry officer was in &#8216;English&#8217;. The enquiry officer himself translated<br \/>\n      the same. Workers who are all tappers &#8211; hardly having any proficiency<br \/>\n      in English- could never follow the language much less than their co-<br \/>\n      worker\/observer, yet another tapper. Recording deposition of the main<br \/>\n      witness, upon which the entire case is built, in an alien undecipherable<br \/>\n      language &#8211; so as to workers and their co-worker\/observer are<br \/>\n      concerned, amounts to violation of natural justice.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p id=\"p_1\">\n<p id=\"p_2\">      2.    It is not disputed before me that the enquiry file would<\/p>\n<p>not reveal that the workers raised objection against examination<\/p>\n<p>of MW1 without a translator. In fact the petitioners have no case<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">w.p.c.38083\/07                   2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>that such an objection was raised before the enquiry officer at<\/p>\n<p>any time. It is not disputed before me that the enquiry file on the<\/p>\n<p>face of it would not prove the said contention of the petitioners.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the only way the petitioners can prove their case is by<\/p>\n<p>raising such a ground in the claim statement and adducing<\/p>\n<p>evidence before the Industrial Tribunal in support of the said<\/p>\n<p>contention. The petitioners did not adduce any evidence<\/p>\n<p>whatsoever before the Tribunal. The questions as to whether the<\/p>\n<p>manager, MW1 was examined in English, whether enquiry officer<\/p>\n<p>translated the deposition in Malayalam and whether the<\/p>\n<p>translation and recording of deposition were correct, are<\/p>\n<p>questions of fact which have to be proved by evidence. It is not<\/p>\n<p>disputed before me that the evidence of MW1 was recorded in<\/p>\n<p>Malayalam. The learned counsel for the 2nd respondent would<\/p>\n<p>assert that MW1, though a North Indian, knew Malayalam<\/p>\n<p>perfectly well and he was examined in Malayalam and the<\/p>\n<p>workmen with the help of their co-worker cross examined MW1 in<\/p>\n<p>detail. They had also put their signature in all the pages of the<\/p>\n<p>deposition of MW1 without any objection whatsoever. Further,<\/p>\n<p>there is no whisper of such an allegation in the claim statement<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">w.p.c.38083\/07                   3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>submitted by the petitioners. First time this contention was raised<\/p>\n<p>in the argument notes submitted by the Advocate for the<\/p>\n<p>petitioners before the Tribunal, for two of the petitioners. In fact,<\/p>\n<p>while the enquiry officer was examined before the Tribunal,<\/p>\n<p>except the question as to whether MW1 was examined in English,<\/p>\n<p>no other question whatsoever was asked in this respect. The<\/p>\n<p>answer to that question was that the witness does not remember.<\/p>\n<p>The Tribunal in the preliminary order does not refer to such<\/p>\n<p>contention raised by the petitioners. I am sure that if such a<\/p>\n<p>contention was seriously raised, the Tribunal would have at least<\/p>\n<p>referred to such a contention. Since this is a ground which goes<\/p>\n<p>to the root of the matter in so far as that would, if proved, vitiate<\/p>\n<p>the enquiry, the fact that the petitioners did not raise it at any<\/p>\n<p>time before filing of the argument notes would, go to show that<\/p>\n<p>there is no merit in their contention that they had any such<\/p>\n<p>contention at any stage of the proceedings either before the<\/p>\n<p>enquiry officer or before the Tribunal. In any event they have not<\/p>\n<p>adduced any evidence whatsoever before the Tribunal to prove<\/p>\n<p>such a contention raised for the first time which is not evident<\/p>\n<p>from the enquiry file. I do not think that I can countenance such<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">w.p.c.38083\/07                  4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>an argument in this writ petition. No other contentions are raised<\/p>\n<p>before me in respect of the preliminary order. Therefore, I do<\/p>\n<p>not find any merit in the challenge against Ext.P1 preliminary<\/p>\n<p>order and accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\">                                                    Sd\/-\n<\/p>\n<pre id=\"pre_1\">sdk+                                         S.SIRI JAGAN, JUDGE\n\n\n             \/\/\/True copy\/\/\/\n\n\n\n\n                                P.A. to Judge\n\n<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kerala High Court High Range Estate Employees &#8230; vs The Industrial Tribunal on 30 June, 2008 IN THE HIGH COURT OF KERALA AT ERNAKULAM WP(C).No. 38083 of 2007(H) 1.
