Management Of Vishnu Sugar Mills ... vs Their Workmen Represented By Chini Mill ... on 9 March, 1960
We have therefore come the conclusion that the words
"employed by a factory" are wide enough to include workmen
employed by the contractors of factory also.
Mr. Pathak wanted to raise a new point based on the
provisions of cl. (K) of the Standing Orders. That clause
provides that a seasonal workman who has worked or, but for
illness or any other unavoidable cause, would have worked
under a
846
factory during the whole of the second half of the last
preceding season will be employed by the factory in the
current season. In view of this Mr. Pathak wants to urge
that it will be difficult for the appellant to give effect
to the order of reinstatement of these 21 workmen as that
would mean getting rid of at least some workmen who are
entitled to be employed by the factory under the provisions
of cl. (K). if the facts were known to be as suggested by
the learned Counsel we would have felt obliged to take note
of these provisions of cl. (K) and would have thought fit to
make an order as was made by this Court in similar
circumstances in Mahalakshmi Sugar Mills Company Ltd. v.
Their Workmen (1), making it clear that there 21 workmen
should be re-employed in the crushing season of 1962-63 only
in so for as it was possible to do so without breach of the
provisions of cl. (K) of the Standing Orders. There are no
materials on the record however to show how many of the
workmen already employed by the Company in the crushing
season of 1962-63 had actually worked in the latter half of
1961-62 season. In the written statement of the Company no
such point about the difficulty of reinstatement of any of
these 21 workmen because of the provisions of cl. (K) was
raised. In these circumstances, we have not allowed Mr.
Pathak to raise this new plea for the first time in this
Court.
