Shivraj Fine Art Litho Works And … vs Authority Under The Minimum Wages … on 13 July, 1966<\/div>\n

Bench: Patel, Deshmukh<\/div>\n<\/p>\n

ORDER<\/p>\n
 (1) These two applications are filed  as test cases against the orders of authority under he Minimum Wages Act, requiring  the employer’s Advocate to attach Court-fee stamp of Rs. 2 on his authorization   before the authority.  We are told there are a large  number of matters pending before the authority against the very petitioners.<\/p>\n
 (2)  The short question is whether  the  authority under the Minimum Wages Act is a Civil court within  the meaning of the word used in Article 12, Schedule II, Bombay Court Fees Act, 1959, which requires a  stamp of Rs. 2 on a Vakalatnama or a Mukhtyarnama  when presented to any Civil or Criminal Court other  than High Court. or to any Revenue Court, or to any  Collector, or Magistrate, or other executive officer.  It is admitted that the Payment of Wages Authority, is neither  a criminal Court nor a Revenue Court or an executive officer.\n<\/p>\n
 (3)  Section 20  of the Act enables the Government to appoint an authority before whom the claims arising  under the Act could be pursued.  The qualifications are provided therein and the Government is entitled to appoint  any of the persons described there to be the authority to hear and decide all claims which arise under the Act.  An employee is entitled to make  an application before such authority either by himself or through a legal  practitioner, or any officer of a registered trade union, authorising him in writing to act on his behalf.  Evan an Inspector or any other person acting with the permission of the authority  is entitled to apply to the  authority for a direction under sub-section (3) of  section 20.  The Authority after hearing parties is entitled to make appropriate orders under sub-section (3)   Sub-section (4) enables the  Authority  hearing the application  to make an order against the applicant directing him to pay a penalty not exceeding  Rs. 60 to the employer in case  the application is found to  be  malicious or  vexatious.  By sub-section (5) provision is  made for recovery of the  amounts directed to  be paid under sub-section (30.  If the authority is a Magistrate, then he is  entitled  to recover the same as a  fine.  and if  he is not  a Magistrate, then on an application being made by the said Authority to a Magistrate the Magistrate may recover the amount as a fine.  Sub-section (6) declares the order of the Authority as final.  Sub-section (7) defines the power of  the Authority, and it is on this sub-section that  reliance is placed on behalf of  the  respondent for contending that  a Vakalatnama or a representation filed  before the Authority is governed by the Court Fees Act.\n<\/p>\n
 (4)  Sub-section (7) of section 20  is as follows;-\n<\/p>\n
   “(7)  Every Authority appointed under sub-section (1) shall  have all  the  powers of a civil Court under the Code of Civil Procedure 1908 (5 of 1908), for the purpose of taking evidence and of enforcing  the attendance of  witnesses and  compelling the production of documents, and every such Authority shall be deemed to  be a Civil  Court  for all the purposes of section 195 and Chapter XXXV of the Code of Criminal Procedure 1898 ( 5 of 1898).”\n<\/p>\n
The provisions of this sub-section are similar to those which are very  often made regarding  tribunals of limited jurisdiction and its it intended to define the powers which are possessed by such an authority.  But the very words of the section indicate that it is really not a Civil Court at all but for the limited purposes mentioned therein   it is  to be deemed to be a Civil Court.  It is true, that for the purposes for which it  is to be deemed to be a Civil Court, it must be regarded for all those purposes, only as a Civil Court.  Admittedly, the  provision cannot be taken further than that.\n<\/p>\n
 (5)  It is clear, therefore,   that under the deeming provision  it can be regarded as a Civil Court for the purposes of section 195 and Chapter XXXV of the Code of Criminal Procedure.  It  is impossible, therefore relying on this sub-section, to hold that the Authority under the Minimum Wages Act is a Civil  Court.  Mr. Dharmadhikari relied upon  the decision  of a Division Bench of this Court  in Registrar, High Court, Bombay v. S. K. Irani,  where it is  field that an Authority under the Payment of  Wages Act is a Court subordinate to High  Court for the purposes of Contempt of Courts Act, section 3.  Indeed, if  the general definition of  a “Court” had to be applied, even an Authority under  the Minimum Wages Act may be regarded as  a Court.   But the question is not whether it is a Court  simpliciter, but a  Civil Court in view of  sub-section (7) of section 20.  Since it is deemed to  be a Civil Court for the limited purposes defined therein except for the purposes of section 195 and Chapter XXXV of the Code of Criminal Procedure, it is impossible to regard it as a Civil Court,  in which case alone Article 12 of Schedule II of the Bombay Court Fees Act, 1959, can apply.\n<\/p>\n
 (6)  Mr. Dharmadhikari contends that the  word “Civil” or “Criminal” is merely a descriptive word and  nothing much depends upon the use of that word in the Court Fees Act.  The accept  the contention will be to disregard the express words “Civil” and “Criminal” in reference to Court.  If the Legislature intended that the Article should apply to every Court, then  there was no special reason why the  word “Civil” or “Criminal” should  have  been used  before  the word “Court”\n<\/p>\n
 (7)  It is impossible  by construction to reduce  the  word “Civil” or “Criminal” to nothing or redundant, which as a Court of  construction we are not entitled  to do.  Apart  from this,  this is a  taxing statute, and unless a case is very clearly brought within  its ambit, a person cannot be required to pay the tax.\n<\/p>\n
 (8)  It is possible to contend that though  the rights that the Authority decides are the creation of a statute, they may still be civil  rights.  Yet, it is difficult to say how  merely because the Authority decides what may possibly be termed civil rights, it becomes a Civil Court within  the meaning of the term used in Article 12 of the Second Schedule to the Court Fees Act.\n<\/p>\n
 (9)  We are not satisfied that the case is covered  by the provisions of the Article.  The Authority was in error in demanding court-fees from the petitioner in respect of the   document of authority in favour of the petitioner’s Advocate.   We order accordingly.\n<\/p>\n
 (10)  The petitions are allowed.  Mr. Shankar Anand does not  press for his  costs. In the result, there will be no order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n
(11) Petition allowed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
