Zonal Manager State Bank Of India vs Modi Rajeshkumar Shantilal on 3 May, 2018

7.3 As far as issue (B) is concerned, Shri Desai's contention by relying on decision in the case of Surendranagar (supra) would be of no avail. An application Exh.11 was moved by the respondent workman for production of vouchers from the employer. An order at Exh. 16 was passed. The employer failed to produce such vouchers and therefore did not discharge the burden of proving otherwise. The learned Single Judge as well as the Industrial Tribunal, in our opinion therefore, even on the second ground were right in holding that once the employer had failed to negate the assertion of the employee, by failing to discharge the burden, recourse to the deeming fiction of completion of 240 days would not arise. Adverse inference was rightly drawn by the Industrial Tribunal, on the employer's failure to produce Page 19 of 21 C/LPA/306/2008 CAV JUDGMENT relevant record though directed to do so. 8 As far as Shri Desai's reliance on the judgments of the Supreme Court to suggest compensation instead of reinstatement is concerned, since the respondent was a daily wager, we do not agree with this submission. The respondent workman has been in employment as a Messenger from 03.01.1989 to 31.12.1995. The period is of approximately six years. Nothing has been brought on record to suggest that there was cessation of work for which it was not the employee's fault. The respondent workman therefore, though branded as a daily wager, was in fact, as rightly held by the learned Single Judge in continuous service. Litigious employer has gone back and forth from this Court before the Single Judge to the Division Bench and then Supreme Court and back on two occasions rendering the workman without the fruits of litigation for more than eleven years. No fault can therefore be found with the respondent workman who notwithstanding the employer's zeal to tire him out steadfastly remained patient. Compensation can be no solace to such a workman. 9 For the reasons stated in the judgment, we confirm the order of the learned Single Judge dated 31.01.2008. The Page 20 of 21 C/LPA/306/2008 CAV JUDGMENT Appellant Bank is directed to comply with the directions of the Learned Single Judge forthwith. The appeal is accordingly dismissed.

An application was moved before the Labour Court for direction to the employer (District Panchayat) to produce muster roll and salary register from the year 1976 to 1986. The stand of the employer was that the workman was never engaged permanently and he was employed for miscellaneous work i.e. whenever there was work he was called for it. It was alleged that the workman had not completed 240 days of continuous service in the 12 months preceding the date of termination of his services and, therefore, the provision of Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act was not required to be followed. The Hon'ble Supreme Court ,in the said case, while considering the provisions of Section 2 (oo) (bb) , Section 25-B a n d Section 25-F of the Industrial Disputes Act, had, in para 8 and 10, observed as follows:-
