SIRI JAGAN, J.\n                ------------------------------------\n                  W.P.(C)No.23920 OF 2008\n              ----------------------------------------\n              Dated this the 8th day of August, 2008\n\n                           JUDGMENT\n<\/pre>\n<p id=\"p_1\">      The petitioner challenges Ext.P2 order of the Appellate<\/p>\n<p>Authority under the Shops and Commercial Establishments Act<\/p>\n<p>(the Shops Act for short) in S.A.No.9 0f 2000 filed by the 1st<\/p>\n<p>respondent against the petitioner stating that the service of the<\/p>\n<p>1st respondent has been dispensed with without assigning any<\/p>\n<p>reason.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_1\">      2.   The petitioner herein who was the opposite party in<\/p>\n<p>the S.A. took the contention that the 1st respondent was not an<\/p>\n<p>employee of his shop, but he was only employed as a domestic<\/p>\n<p>servant at his home. The Appellate Authority after considering<\/p>\n<p>the evidence adduced by both sides, came to the conclusion that<\/p>\n<p>the evidence adduced by the 1st respondent was believable.<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, the 2nd respondent held that the petitioner herein<\/p>\n<p>dispensed with the services of the 1st respondent without any<\/p>\n<p>reasonable cause.    Accordingly the 2nd respondent directed the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner to pay a compensation amounting to Rs.65,000\/- to<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">W.P.(c)No.23920\/08                2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the 1st respondent in lieu of reinstatement. This order is under<\/p>\n<p>challenge before me at the instance of the petitioner employer.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the 2nd respondent misdirected himself in<\/p>\n<p>finding that it was the duty of the petitioner to prove that the<\/p>\n<p>1st  respondent    was   a   domestic   servant   by  producing<\/p>\n<p>documentary evidence or witnesses. According to the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the petitioner, it was the duty of the workman to<\/p>\n<p>prove that he was actually employed by the petitioner in the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner&#8217;s Shop and not the other way round.         He also<\/p>\n<p>disputes the monthly salary claimed by the 1st respondent<\/p>\n<p>before the 2nd respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_2\">      3.    I have considered the arguments of the learned<\/p>\n<p>counsel for the petitioner. While dealing with such cases, I<\/p>\n<p>must remind myself that my jurisdiction in interfering with<\/p>\n<p>orders of the Appelalte Authority under the Shops Act is a very<\/p>\n<p>limited jurisdiction to examine whether the decision making<\/p>\n<p>process itself is valid.  I cannot re-appreciate evidence and<\/p>\n<p>come to a different conclusion from that of the Appellate<\/p>\n<p>Authority unless I find that the conclusion on the basis of the<\/p>\n<p>evidence before the Authority is perverse.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_3\"><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_1\">W.P.(c)No.23920\/08               3<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"p_4\">      4.    In this case, the 1st respondent adduced evidence<\/p>\n<p>before the 2nd respondent to the effect that he was actually<\/p>\n<p>employed by the petitioner in the Jewellery shop of the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner.    He also examined a witness stated to be an<\/p>\n<p>independent witness, who deposed to the effect that the 1st<\/p>\n<p>respondent was actually an employee of the petitioner in his<\/p>\n<p>shop. The 2nd respondent came to the finding that since the<\/p>\n<p>petitioner&#8217;s shop is one covered under the Shops Act, he could<\/p>\n<p>have proved that the 1st respondent was not an employee of<\/p>\n<p>his shop by producing the statutory registers, which he is<\/p>\n<p>manadatorily expected to maintain as per the Shops Act. The<\/p>\n<p>2nd respondent drew an adverse inference from non-production<\/p>\n<p>of those records, which is what is now termed by the petitioner<\/p>\n<p>as a finding that it was for the petitioner to prove that the<\/p>\n<p>workman was not an employee of the petitioner. The petitioner<\/p>\n<p>had not produced any evidence other than examining himself<\/p>\n<p>as a witness. The Appellate Authority considered the evidence<\/p>\n<p>of both sides and believed the evidence of the 1st respondent<\/p>\n<p>workman. The fact that the petitioner had a Jewelery shop is<\/p>\n<p>admitted. The workman claimed that he was employed in that<\/p>\n<p>shop. The petitioner contended that the workman was only a<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\" id=\"span_2\">W.P.(c)No.23920\/08              4<\/span><\/p>\n<p>domestic help.     In such circumstances the petitioner could<\/p>\n<p>have produced statutory registers to prove that the workman&#8217;s<\/p>\n<p>name does not find a place therein. This only had been stated<\/p>\n<p>by the Appellate Authority.      There is nothing perverse<\/p>\n<p>whatsoever in the same. Therefore, I do not find any merit in<\/p>\n<p>the challenge against Ext.P2 and accordingly, the writ petition<\/p>\n<p>is dismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"p_5\">\n<p id=\"p_6\">                                     S.
