            *IN THE HIGH COURT OF DELHI AT NEW DELHI\n\n                                            Date of decision: 19th May, 2011.\n\n+                                  W.P.(C) 3375\/2011\n%        SHIS RAM                                           .....

Whether the judgment should be reported                   No\n         in the Digest?\n\nRAJIV SAHAI ENDLAW, J.\n<\/pre>\n
1.       The petitioner impugns the award dated 18 th June, 2010 of the<\/p>\n
Industrial Adjudicator on the following reference:<\/p>\n
         “Whether the action of the Management of State Bank of India
\n         in terminating the services of Sh. Shish Ram S\/o Sh. Mahavir<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)3375\/2011                                               Page 1 of 7<\/span>
\n          Singh, Sorter-cum-Messenger w.e.f. 2003 is just and legal? If
\n         not what relief the workman is entitled to.”<\/p>\n
         as under:\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
         “In view of the foregoing discussions, it is evident that the
\n         claimant has miserably failed to establish that he was
\n         appointed against a post, on which he has a right to continue.
\n         He could not show that his disengagement amounted to
\n         retrenchment.        He could not attribute any illegality,
\n         unjustifiability or impropriety to the action of the Management
\n         in terminating his services. His claim is devoid of merits. The
\n         same is dismissed. An award is, accordingly, passed. It be
\n         sent to the appropriate Government for publication.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
2.       The petitioner claims that he was working as a Sorter-cum-<\/p>\n
Messenger with effect from 1st January, 1995 in the Canteen of the<\/p>\n
respondent Bank on daily wages as and when requirement arose of the<\/p>\n
respondent Bank and from the year 1999 to 2003 in the Stationery division.<\/p>\n
He further claims that he so worked in the Stationery division for 1073<\/p>\n
days on daily wages. It is the claim of the petitioner that he worked for 254<\/p>\n
days in the year 1999, for 259 days in the year 2000, for 252 days in the<\/p>\n
year 2001, for 256 days in the year 2002 and for 52 days in the year 2003.<\/p>\n
He further claims that his services were terminated on 15 th April, 2003 and<\/p>\n
with effect from 16th April, 2003 he was not permitted entry into the<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)3375\/2011                                                Page 2 of 7<\/span>
\n respondent Bank.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
3.       The respondent Bank denied that the petitioner had so worked. It<\/p>\n
was the case of the respondent Bank that the petitioner was occasionally<\/p>\n
engaged on casual basis for doing odd jobs purely of casual nature.<\/p>\n
4.       The Industrial Adjudicator found that the petitioner had not been<\/p>\n
issued any appointment letter; that he was not recruited as per the<\/p>\n
procedure of recruitment prescribed in the Rules of the respondent Bank;<\/p>\n
that the petitioner had failed to prove that he had worked continuously with<\/p>\n
the respondent Bank for even 240 days; that he never acquired the status of<\/p>\n
a “workman” within the definition of Section 2(s) of the Act; that<\/p>\n
appointment on daily wages cannot be claimed for a regular employment<\/p>\n
and which would be a backdoor entry detrimental to efficient service and<\/p>\n
encourage corruption; that thus the disengagement of the services of the<\/p>\n
petitioner did not amount to retrenchment within the meaning of Section<\/p>\n
2(oo) of the Act; that his services did not continue against a particular job<\/p>\n
for continuous period of 240 days as contemplated by Section 25B of the<\/p>\n
Act and the petitioner had not rendered continuous service for 240 days<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)3375\/2011                                              Page 3 of 7<\/span>
\n against any job and his discontinuance did not amount to termination of<\/p>\n
services; that at one stage the respondent Bank had regularized temporary<\/p>\n
employees by a bipartite agreement but that was prior to initial engagement<\/p>\n
of the petitioner and thus the petitioner could not claim parity with those<\/p>\n
workers also.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
5.       The counsel for the petitioner has also not controverted that the<\/p>\n
petitioner was never regularly employed and was not issued any<\/p>\n
appointment letter and his services were never regularized.                In the<\/p>\n
circumstances, the only claim of the petitioner could be on the basis of 240<\/p>\n
days continuous service and on which also finding of fact against the<\/p>\n
petitioner has been returned by the Industrial Adjudicator. It has been<\/p>\n
enquired from the counsel for the petitioner as to how a case for<\/p>\n
interference with such finding of fact is made out. The counsel has not<\/p>\n
been able to substantiate the same. I do not find any pleadings also in this<\/p>\n
regard.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
6.       Though the petitioner has in the pleadings referred to certain<\/p>\n
documents but the said documents have been dealt with by the Industrial<\/p>\n
W.P.(C)3375\/2011                                             Page 4 of 7<\/span>
\n Adjudicator in the award and found to be suspicious and not believed as<\/p>\n
evidence of 240 days of continuous service by the petitioner. This Court in<\/p>\n
exercise of powers of judicial review would not re-appreciate the evidence.<\/p>\n
Reference in this regard can be made to:\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
         (i)       Govt. of A.P. Vs. Mohd. Narsullah Khan (2006) 2 SCC 373.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
         (ii)      Sub-Divisional Officer, Konch Vs. Maharaj Singh (2003) 9<\/p>\n
         SCC 191.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n          It is settled position in law that a finding of fact even if erroneous<\/p>\n
unless shown to be perverse or unreasonable would not be interfereable<\/p>\n
while exercising powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.<\/p>\n
Reference in this regard can be made to Kirloskar Brothers Ltd. Vs. The<\/p>\n
Presiding Officer, Labour Court ILR (1976) 1 Del 565, DTC Vs. Delhi<\/p>\n

MANU\/DE\/0265\/2005.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
7.       The judgments of the Apex Court in Workmen of English Electric<\/p>\n
Co. of India Ltd. Vs. Presiding Officer 1990 (2) SCC 18 and State of<\/p>\n
Haryana Vs. Devi Dutt 2006 (13) SCC 32 may also be noticed in this<\/p>\n
regard; while in the former the Apex Court held that the finding of the<\/p>\n
Industrial Adjudicator that the workmen had put in more than 240 days as<\/p>\n
long as on the basis of some evidence could not be disturbed by the High<\/p>\n
Court, in the latter the Supreme Court deprecated the High Court for<\/p>\n
interfering with the finding of the Industrial Adjudicator of the workman<\/p>\n
having not worked for 240 days.\n<\/p>\n
\nW.P.(C)3375\/2011                                                Page 6 of 7<\/span>\n<\/p>\n
 8.       In the present case, no case of perversity or unreasonableness is<\/p>\n
made out.          The reasoning given by the Industrial Adjudicator for not<\/p>\n
believing the documents has not been controverted in any manner<\/p>\n
whatsoever.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
9.       There is no merit in the writ petition; the same is dismissed. No<\/p>\n
order as to costs.\n<\/p>\n
CM No.7054\/2011 (for exemption)<\/p>\n
         Allowed, subject to just exceptions.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
