Gopal, Krishnaji Ketkar vs Mahomed Haji Latif & Ors on 19 April, 1968

Managements, having taken up the plea that the engagement of the workers concerned was through Contractors, and it was quite obligatory for them to have maintained the relevant records under Section 29 of the Act, 1970. It was also pointed out that the Management's witness examined before the Industrial Court had conceded that they were maintaining relevant records in this regard and as such, non-production of the said records before the Industrial Court persuaded the Industrial Court to draw adverse inference; in turn, leading to granting of compensation of Rs.20,000/- to each of the workers, which by itself is not adequate and reinstatement ought to have been ordered in the said circumstances. The 'burden of proof' on the part of the Respondent- Management, who was having custody of the documents to have produced the same before the Court, is sought to be asserted with reference to the ruling rendered by the Apex Court in Gopal Krishnaji 26 Ketkar Vs. Mohamed Haji Latif & Others15. The main question considered in the said case was whether the land comprised in Plot No. 134 was the property of the Dargah or whether it belonged to the appellant. The learned Judges observed in paragraph 5 of the verdict that, in the course of evidence the appellant had admitted that he was enjoying the income of Plot No.134, but he did not produce any accounts to substantiate his contention. The appellant had also admitted therein that "he had got records of the 'Dargah income' and that the account was kept separately", which however was not produced. It was contended that there was no duty for the appellant to have it produced and the onus was upon the respondents to prove their case and to show that the Dargah was the owner of Plot No.134, which contention was not accepted as correct by the Bench holding that even if the burden of proof did not lie on a party, the Court may draw adverse inference if he withholds important documents in his possession which can throw light on the facts at issue.
