Managing Director, Tamil Nadu Poultry Development Corporation Ltd. Vs. ...

Court: Chennai

Decided on: Jul-26-2002

Reported in: [2002(95)FLR619]; (2002)IVLLJ26Mad

R. Jayasimha Babu, J. 1. The award setting aside the dismissal of the workman has been passed primarily on the ground that during the period of suspension of four years, he had not been paid any subsistence allowance. The subsistence allowance, admittedly, was paid only after the dismissal, which itself followed four years of continuous suspension.2. The denial of subsistence allowance during such a long period will certainly have a deleterious effect on the workman's capacity to defend himself at any enquiry. It has been laid down by the Apex Court in more than one case that subsistence allowance is an allowance which is meant to enable the workman to subsist. If that allowance is deposited after the completion of the enquiry which took several years, the punishment inflicted would be prima facie vitiated. The impugned order of dismissal, therefore, cannot be sustained.3. Learned counsel for the petitioner, however urged that the dispute itself was raised only after a long delay of fo...
