Shinde (A.G.) and ors. Vs. Bombay Telephones (by Manager) and anr.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-11-1968

Reported in: (1968)IILLJ74Bom

Patel, J. 1. By this petition, the petitioners seek to challenge the order made by the Payment of Wages Authority dismissing their applications for overtime wages. The short facts are that the petitioners are employed with the workshops of the Telephones in Bombay, which in theory means that they are the employees of the Central Government, working with the Telephones Department. Their duties consist of inspection of identity cards, the search of workers, while entering in the various departments and coming cut from the departments, inspecting or checking materials taken from one building to another of the same factory, preventing workmen from entering or leaving factory other than at the appointed time or without authority, keeping a watch on the workmen and material within the factory compound, but outside the building when the workmen of painting or packing are at work. Similarly, they also had other incidental duties not directly connected with the manufacturing process. Their alle...

National Engineering Employees' Union Vs. Kulkarni (R.N.) and Anr.

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Mar-11-1968

Reported in: (1968)IILLJ82Bom

Per Patel, J.1. One Sample was in the employment of respondent 2 company which is a private limited company. On 28 February, 1961, the management made an order in the first instance terminating his services on and from that date as the charge-hand, but having regard to his prior career, gave him an option of serving as a mechanic in the garage department at the same salary that he was getting on that date. The option had to be exercised by Sample by 9 March, 1961. The union took this matter up and raised a dispute and eventually on 24 April, 1962, the State Government referred the matter to the labour court. It appears that during the course of evidence, the learned labour judge made an order on 6 April, 1965, directing the company and the union to submit their arguments on a preliminary point raised by the learned judge. This point was raised by the learned labour judge because of some correspondence which was produced before him which appeared to him to suggest that the worker had ex...
