Jai Hind Oil Mills Company Vs. S.S. Chavan

Court: Mumbai

Decided on: Jun-12-2000

Reported in: (2000)IIILLJ1362Bom

S.S. Chavan, J.1. Mr. Verma submits that the Labour Court has come to the conclusion that the enquiry was not just and fair, without looking at the enquiry report. He submits that if the enquiry report had been perused, especially the findings on page 12 of the enquiry report, it would have become apparent that the workman had been given all due opportunities. In my view, there is nothing perverse in the findings recorded by the Labour Court that the enquiry has not been just and fair. However, once the enquiry has been found to be not just and fair, it is the Labour Court which has to give an opportunity to the employer to lead evidence to establish the misconduct. This misconduct cannot be established by entrusting the enquiry to a bank outsider. In the present case, the enquiry has been entrusted to an advocate viz., Mr. Sureshbaboo. This cannot be permitted under the provisions of the Industrial Disputes Act.2. In view of the above, the appointment of Mr. Sureshbaboo as an enquiry ...

R.M. Lodha, J.1. By means of this Writ Petition filed under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, the Petitioner seeks to impugn the order dated January 3, 1996 passed by the Labour Court, Nasik, whereby the said Court held that the Petitioner being the medical representative is not workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.2.
