Range Forest Officer vs S.T. Hadimani on 15 February, 2002
The onus to prove this issue was not placed by my Ld.
Predecessor on either party. However, as per provisions of Section
102 of the Indian Evidence Act and as per authority reported as
RANGE FOREST OFFICER VS. ST HADIMANI, AIR 2002, SC
1147, the onus was to be discharged by the workman. On behalf of
the workman, it has been submitted by Ld. AR that the workman had
proved on record the I. Card issued by the management no. 1. The
workman has relied on documents Ex. WW1/1 to Ex. WW1/8. His
testimony has been corroborated by WW2 who has relied on documents
Ex. WW1/1 to Ex. WW1/3 as well as Ex. WW1/2A and Ex. WW1/4
and testimony of both these witnesses has fully proved on record that
the workman was employee of management no. 1. He also submitted
that MW1 has failed to produce the summoned record and therefore
his testimony cannot be read in evidence and an adverse inference
deserves to be drawn against the management. He also submitted that
the management no. 1 failed to produce the certificate of registration
and no licence has been produced by the management no. 2. As per
Section 10 of the Contract Labour Regulation Act, the employment of
LIR D No. 892/06 Page 7 of 19 pages
the workman by the management was prohibited and any such
employment has to be treated as sham and camouflage. As per section
3 of the said Act there was no provision of employment of the
claimant through the Contractor. The nature of job performed by the
workman was of perennial nature and his service could not have
been terminated as such he should be deemed to be an employee of
management no. 1.

Air India Statutory Corporation vs United Labour Union & Ors on 6 November, 1996
In my considered view, no adverse inference deserves to be
drawn against the management no. 1 for non production of the
summoned record because the workman has admitted his signatures
on documents Ex. WW1/MX1 to Ex. WW1/MX3 including the letter of
appointment for the post of Cashier dt. 14-7-04. Ld. AR for workman
has failed to prove on record any notification U/s 10 of CLRA prohibiting
employment of cashier through the Contractor for the post of Cashier.
Non filing of certificate of registration or licence referred by Ld.
AR for workman does not make it mandatory that the employee so
employed by the Contractor shall be deemed in employment of
management no 1. Hon'ble Supreme court in authority reported as
