The Labour Court, on the ground that<br \/>\nthe corporation did not produce on record of the Reference<br \/>\nproceedings the material of the departmental enquiry and\/or report of<br \/>\nthe Enquiry Officer on the basis of which the penalty was imposed,<br \/>\nset aside the penalty order holding that the corporation failed to<br \/>\nestablish the charges.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\t\tMr<br \/>\nAR Thakkar appears for the petitioner corporation and Mr. Mukesh Dave<br \/>\nappears for the respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\t\tMr.\n<\/p>\n<p>Thakkar submitted that initially the Reference was dismissed for<br \/>\nnon-prosecution on account of respondent&#8217;s  absence during the<br \/>\nReference proceedings and after a long lapse the Reference<br \/>\nproceedings came to be restored.  On account of dismissal of<br \/>\nReference, though for non-prosecution, and in view of the delay in<br \/>\nthe restoration of proceedings, in which process almost 9 years were<br \/>\nlost, the Corporation did not maintain the record of the enquiry<br \/>\nproceedings and consequently during the stage of evidence it could<br \/>\nnot produce the record of the enquiry proceedings or the report of<br \/>\nthe Enquiry Officer, and that therefore it was not just or proper to<br \/>\nhold Corporation responsible or to put the fault on shoulders of<br \/>\nCorporation, instead of workman who was responsible for delay of 9<br \/>\nyears.  Mr. Thakkar further submitted that in such circumstances<br \/>\nmerely because the Corporation could not produce the record of the<br \/>\ndepartmental enquiry or the report of the Enquiry Officer the learned<br \/>\nTribunal ought not to have concluded that the charge was not proved.<br \/>\nHe submitted that actually the order of the disciplinary authority is<br \/>\na well-reasoned and speaking order wherein the entire details of the<br \/>\nmisconduct as well as evidence etc., are recorded, and on perusal of<br \/>\nthe said order the details regarding the charges and evidence becomes<br \/>\nvery much clear and the learned Tribunal ought to have taken the said<br \/>\naspects into consideration.  He also submitted that the charge<br \/>\nlevelled against the respondent was in nature of misappropriation<br \/>\ninasmuch as the respondent did not issue tickets after collecting<br \/>\nfare from the passengers.  He elaborately read the disciplinary<br \/>\nauthority&#8217;s order wherein the details about the charge and evidence<br \/>\nare recorded and on that basis he submitted that it is evident that<br \/>\nthe charge was proved with help of cogent evidence.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\t\tOn<br \/>\nthe other hand, Mr. Mukesh Dave, for respondent, vehemently supported<br \/>\nthe impugned order dated 3.1.2008 and submitted that the Industrial<br \/>\nTribunal is right and justified in holding that the Corporation has<br \/>\nfailed to prove the charges against the respondent.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\t\tWhile<br \/>\nconsidering the submissions of the contesting parties, it was<br \/>\nenquired from the petitioner as to what would be the financial burden<br \/>\non the Corporation if the impugned award is not interfered with.  In<br \/>\nresponse to that, Mr. Thakkar, learned advocate for the petitioner<br \/>\nplaced on record a communication dated 30.7.2008 as per which Rs.<br \/>\n12,500\/- would be the 100% amount which would become payable in the<br \/>\nevent the penalty imposed by the Corporation is set aside, however<br \/>\nthe learned tribunal has granted only 50% of the said amount, and<br \/>\nthat therefore the amount which would become payable if the award is<br \/>\nnot set aside would come around Rs. 6000\/-.  When the Court enquired<br \/>\nwith Mr. Thakkar as to why should the High Court in exercise of<br \/>\njurisdiction under Article 226 &amp; 227 interfere with the award<br \/>\nconsidering the amount which becomes payable is so trivial, i.e.,<br \/>\nonly Rs. 6000\/-,  Mr. Mukesh Dave for respondent submitted that so as<br \/>\nto put an end to the litigation and to avoid further litigation the<br \/>\nrespondent is ready and willing to accept Rs. 5000\/- as full and<br \/>\nfinal settlement of the litigation.  The petitioner corporation was<br \/>\nasked to consider the said suggestions of respondent and subsequently<br \/>\nMr. Thakkar has informed this Court that the petitioner Corporation<br \/>\nwould be ready and willing to pay Rs. 5000\/- to the respondent only<br \/>\nas an exceptional case and without forming precedent in full and<br \/>\nfinal settlement of the dispute involved in the matter only with a<br \/>\nview to putting an end to this litigation and if the award is<br \/>\nmodified to that extent.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\t\tThis<br \/>\nCourt is conscious of the fact that if considered as proved the<br \/>\ncharge against respondent is of serious nature and it normally would<br \/>\nnot warrant or justify interference however considering the fact that<br \/>\nthe employee has already retired and also considering that the Court<br \/>\nhas not got opportunity to examine the material of departmental<br \/>\ninquiry and the findings of the Enquiry Officer and the respondent<br \/>\ndid not get the opportunity to substantiate h is contention and upon<br \/>\nconsidering the consensus between the parties, the impugned award,<br \/>\nwith the consent of both sides and as an exceptional case without<br \/>\nforming precedent, is modified and the petitioner corporation is<br \/>\ndirected to pay an amount of Rs. 5,000\/- in full and final settlement<br \/>\nand discharge of the obligation by way of the award.  The impugned<br \/>\naward stands modified to the aforesaid extent.  The petition stands<br \/>\ndisposed of accordingly.  It is hoped that the Corporation will make<br \/>\nthe said payment within a period of 3 weeks from the date of receipt<br \/>\nof the award.\n<\/p>\n<p>[<br \/>\nK.M.
