The Tribunal has, in each of<br \/>\nthe elaborate impugned judgements, analyzed the facts and, after<br \/>\nappreciating the contentions of the petitioner arrived at findings of<br \/>\nfact to the effect that services of the respondent were terminated<br \/>\nwithout complying with the provisions of Section 25F of the<br \/>\nIndustrial Disputes Act, 1947 and, even as their entry into service<br \/>\nappeared to be irregular, it was not found to be illegal and after<br \/>\ndischarge\/ discontinuation of the respondents, the University had<br \/>\nemployed many other employees in place of the respondents. It was<br \/>\nalso noticed that the respondents were not employed only for the<br \/>\npurpose of dealing with extra burden of office work during or around<br \/>\nthe examinations, but they were continued in service beyond the<br \/>\nperiod of examinations. The plea of contract of employment of the<br \/>\nrespondents being covered by the definition in Section 2 (oo)(bb) of<br \/>\nthe I.D.Act was rejected in absence of any contract of employment<br \/>\nstipulating any limitations.\n<\/p>\n<p>2.\tPressing<br \/>\nthe petitions for admission and injunction against the impugned<br \/>\norders, learned counsel,                   Mr. H.A.Dave, appearing<br \/>\nfor the petitioner, vehemently argued that the service conditions of<br \/>\nemployees of the petitioner were governed by the South Gujarat<br \/>\nUniversity Act, 1965 and adjudication of disputes between the<br \/>\nUniversity and its employees was exclusively governed by the Gujarat<br \/>\nUniversities Services Tribunal Act, 1983. He submitted that the<br \/>\napplication of aforesaid two State Legislations receiving accent of<br \/>\nthe President, excluded the application of provisions of Section 25F<br \/>\nor any other provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act. Therefore,<br \/>\nthe impugned orders based upon violation of provisions of Section 25F<br \/>\nof the I.D.Act were required to be quashed, according to his<br \/>\nsubmission. It was further submitted that even if the provisions of<br \/>\nI.D.Act were assumed to be applicable in the facts of the present<br \/>\ncases, the respondents being irregularly appointed temporary<br \/>\nemployees, they are not legally entitled to any relief resulting into<br \/>\nregularization of their irregular appointments. He relied upon the<br \/>\njudgements of this Court which were cited before the Tribunal and<br \/>\nwhich are distinguished in the impugned judgement.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.\tThere<br \/>\nis no dispute about the facts that the respondents had completed more<br \/>\nthan one year of service and in the year preceding the termination of<br \/>\nservice they had worked for more than 240 days. All of them were<br \/>\ndischarged from service on 03.12.1999 and after their approaching the<br \/>\nlabour court, the cases had to be conducted before the Tribunal upon<br \/>\nthe petitioner raising the objection of jurisdiction of the labour<br \/>\ncourt.\n<\/p>\n<p>4.\tOn<br \/>\nthe legal aspect of the matter, relevant express provisions of the<br \/>\nGujarat Universities Services Tribunal Act, 1983 read as under:\n<\/p>\n<p> 7.<br \/>\n\tJurisdiction of Tribunal.-\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">(1)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\tThe Tribunal shall have jurisdiction to entertain and decide<br \/>\n\tdisputes referred to in section 8, all suits and proceedings<br \/>\n\ttransferred to it under sub-section(2) of section 13 and appeals<br \/>\n\tmade under sub-section(3) of section 14.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">(2)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\tWhere any order of dismissal, removal or reduction in rank or<br \/>\n\totherwise termination of service of a University employee is decided<br \/>\n\tby the Tribunal to be wrong, unlawful or otherwise unjustified, the<br \/>\n\tTribunal may pass an order directing that the University employee<br \/>\n\tshall be reinstated in service or, as the case may be, restored to<br \/>\n\tthe rank, which he held immediately before his dismissal, removal<br \/>\n\treduction in rank or otherwise termination of service by the<br \/>\n\tUniversity and the University shall forthwith comply with such<br \/>\n\tdirection.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">(3)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\tNotwithstanding anything contained in any other law for the time<br \/>\n\tbeing in force, where the Tribunal has jurisdiction to entertain and<br \/>\n\tdecide a dispute as aforesaid, no other person, officer or authority<br \/>\n\tshall have jurisdiction to entertain and decide such dispute and any<br \/>\n\tsuch dispute pending before any person, officer, or authority on the<br \/>\n\tappointed day shall, as soon as may be, be transferred to the<br \/>\n\tTribunal for its decision.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">(8)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\tDispute to be decided by Tribunal.-\n<\/p>\n<p>\tWhere<br \/>\n\tthere is any dispute between the University and any University<br \/>\n\temployee, which is connected with the conditions of service of such<br \/>\n\tUniversity employee, the University or, as the case may be the<br \/>\n\tUniversity employee may make an application to the Tribunal for the<br \/>\n\tdecision of the dispute.\n<\/p>\n<p>It<br \/>\nis clear from the above provision that the Tribunal had exclusive<br \/>\njurisdiction to decide the dispute arising from the conditions of<br \/>\nservice or termination of service of the respondents. Even as the<br \/>\nTribunal has not referred to the provisions of Section 25J of the<br \/>\nI.D.Act, it may be pertinent to note the express provisions in the<br \/>\nI.D.Act, which read as under:\n<\/p>\n<p>\t 25J.\n<\/p>\n<p>Effect of Laws inconsistent with this Chapter.-\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">(1)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\tThe provisions of this Chapter shall have effect notwithstanding<br \/>\nanything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law including<br \/>\nstanding orders made under the Industrial Employment (Standing<br \/>\nOrders) Act, 1946:\n<\/p>\n<p>\tProvided<br \/>\nthat where under the provisions of any other Act or rules, orders or<br \/>\nnotifications issued thereunder or under any standing orders or any<br \/>\naward, contract of service or otherwise, a workman is entitled to<br \/>\nbenefits in respect of any matter which are more favourable to him<br \/>\nthan those to which he would be entitled under this Act, the workman<br \/>\nshall continue to be entitled to the more favourable benefits in<br \/>\nrespect of that matter, notwithstanding that he receives benefits in<br \/>\nrespect of other matters under this Act.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">(2)<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\t\tFor the removal of doubts, it is hereby declared that nothing<br \/>\ncontained in this Chapter shall be deemed to affect the provisions of<br \/>\nany other law for the time being in force in any State in so far as<br \/>\nthat law provides for the settlement of industrial disputes, but the<br \/>\nrights and liabilities of employers and workmen in so far as they<br \/>\nrelate to lay-off and retrenchment shall be determined in accordance<br \/>\nwith the provisions of this Chapter.\n<\/p>\n<p>5.\tIn<br \/>\nview of the finding of the fact of the Tribunal that the respondents<br \/>\nhad completed 240 days of service in the year preceding their date of<br \/>\ntermination, it could not be disputed that the provision of Section<br \/>\n25F of the I.D.Act related to retrenchment applied in the facts of<br \/>\nthe present cases and the above provisions of Section 25J of the<br \/>\nI.D.Act with the clarification in sub-section (2) makes it absolutely<br \/>\nclear that despite the forum for settlement of dispute being not the<br \/>\none provided under the I.D.Act, the rights and liabilities of the<br \/>\nparties continued to be governed by the provisions of Chapter-VA, as<br \/>\nfar as they relate to lay off and retrenchment.\n<\/p>\n<p>6.\tTherefore,<br \/>\nthe contention that the provision of Section 25F of the I.D.Act could<br \/>\nnot be applied in the facts of the present cases, is rejected. It is<br \/>\nalso clear from the provisions of Section 7 of the  Gujarat<br \/>\nUniversities Services Tribunal Act that the Tribunal is conferred<br \/>\nwith very wide jurisdiction and when it finds the termination of<br \/>\nservice of university employee to be wrong, unlawful or otherwise<br \/>\nunjustified, it has the jurisdiction to direct the University to<br \/>\nreinstate in service the employee concerned. It is not only when the<br \/>\nTribunal finds the termination to be illegal or in violation of any<br \/>\nparticular provision of law but even in cases where the termination<br \/>\nof service is found to be wrong or otherwise unjustified, the<br \/>\nTribunal is empowered to grant appropriate relief. Therefore, when in<br \/>\nthe facts of the present case Tribunal found the termination of<br \/>\nservices of the employees concerned to be unfair, insofar as other<br \/>\nemployees were subsequently employed and continued in service, the<br \/>\nimpugned order could not be faulted.\n<\/p>\n<p>7.\tAs<br \/>\nrecently held by the Apex Court in Harjinder Singh Vs. Punjab<br \/>\nState Warehousing Corporation [2010 (1) SCALE 613], it is<br \/>\nsettled law that, for attracting the applicability of Section 25-G of<br \/>\nthe I.D.Act, the workman is not required to prove that he had worked<br \/>\nfor a period of 240 days during twelve calender months preceding the<br \/>\ntermination of his service and it is sufficient for him to plead and<br \/>\nprove that while effecting retrenchment, the employer violated the<br \/>\nrule of &#8216;last come first go&#8217; without any tangible reason. It is<br \/>\nfurther observed that, while exercising jurisdiction under Articles<br \/>\n226 and\/or 227 of the Constitution in such matters, the High Courts<br \/>\nare duty bound to keep in mind that the I.D.Act and other similar<br \/>\nlegislative instruments are social welfare legislations and the same<br \/>\nare required to be interpreted keeping in view the goals set out in<br \/>\nthe preamble of the Constitution and the provisions contained in Part<br \/>\nIV thereof in general and Articles 38, 39(a) to (e), 43 and 43A in<br \/>\nparticular, which mandate that the State should secure a social order<br \/>\nfor the promotion of welfare of the people, ensure equality between<br \/>\nmen and women and equitable distribution of material resources of the<br \/>\ncommunity to sub-serve the common good and also ensure that the<br \/>\nworkers get their dues. It is further observed that there has been a<br \/>\nvisible shift in the Courts approach in dealing with the cases<br \/>\ninvolving interpretation of social welfare legislations. The<br \/>\nattractive mantras of globalization and liberalization are fast<br \/>\nbecoming the raison d&#8217;etre of the judicial process and an impression<br \/>\nhas been created that the constitutional courts are no longer<br \/>\nsympathetic towards the plight of industrial and unorganized workers.<br \/>\nIn large number of such cases, relief has been denied to the<br \/>\nemployees falling in the category of workmen, who are illegally<br \/>\nretrenched from service by creating by-lanes and side-lanes in the<br \/>\njurisprudence developed by the Court in three decades. The stock plea<br \/>\nraised by the public employer in such cases is that the initial<br \/>\nemployment\/engagement of the workman-employee was contarary to some<br \/>\nor the other statute or that reinstatement of the workman will put<br \/>\nunbearable burden on the financial health of the establishment. The<br \/>\nCourts have readily accepted such plea unmindful of the<br \/>\naccountability of the wrong doer and indirectly punished the tiny<br \/>\nbeneficiary of the wrong ignoring the fact that he may have continued<br \/>\nin the employment for years together and that micro wages earned by<br \/>\nhim may be the only source of his livelihood. It needs no emphasis<br \/>\nthat if a man is deprived of his livelihood, he is deprived of all<br \/>\nhis fundamental and constitutional rights and the freedoms enshrined<br \/>\nin the Constitution remain illusory.\n<\/p>\n<p>8.\tThe<br \/>\nTribunal has taken adequate care to reduce the back-wages and ordered<br \/>\nreinstatement of the respondents on the same daily wages and<br \/>\ntemporary basis so as not to confer any further right of permanency<br \/>\nor regularization in service. The judgement of this Court in Halvad<br \/>\nNagarpalika and anr. Vs. Jani Dipakbhai Chandravadanbhai and ors.<br \/>\n[2003 (4) GLR 3229] has rightly been distinguished by the<br \/>\nTribunal on facts, insofar as the issues of regularization or<br \/>\ndirection to make the employees permanent do not arise in the present<br \/>\ncases. Since no jurisdictional error or any other error apparent on<br \/>\nthe face of the record could be pointed out from the impugned<br \/>\njudgement, this Court would not be justified in interfering with the<br \/>\norders in exercise of its extraordinary jurisdiction either under<br \/>\nArticle 227 or Article 226 of the Constitution, so as to reverse the<br \/>\nimpugned orders made in judicious exercise of the discretion<br \/>\nconferred upon the Tribunal. Accordingly, the petitions are summarily<br \/>\ndismissed.\n<\/p>\n<p>\t\tLearned<br \/>\ncounsel, Mr. H.A.Dave at last sought clarification to the effect that<br \/>\nthe petitioner would be at liberty to terminate services of the<br \/>\nrespondent in accordance with law after implementation of the<br \/>\nimpugned orders. Such clarification is, however, not required as<br \/>\nthere cannot be any injunction against termination of service in<br \/>\naccordance with law.\n<\/p>\n<p>(D.H.Waghela,<br \/>\nJ.)<\/p>\n<p>Jyoti<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t   Top<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gujarat High Court Veer vs Satishkumar on 15 February, 2010 Author: D.H.Waghela,&amp;Nbsp;
