In this context, the reliance of the learned Counsel appearing on
behalf of Respondent no.1 on the judgment of the Supreme Court in the case
"Ananda Bazar Patrika (P) Ltd. Vs. the Workmen 1" is apposite. In this
judgment the Supreme Court was considering the case of an employee who
was employed in clerical work. The contention of the employer was that in
fact he was working in supervisory capacity. The employer contended that

the employee being Senior-most clerk, he was put in-charge of the Provident
Fund Section and was given a small amount of control over the other clerks
working in his section. He was also allocating work between them, to
permit them to leave during office hours and to recommend their leave
applications and hence, he was working in supervisory capacity. The
Labour Court on appreciation of facts of that case had held that the
employee was employed in clerical work and not in supervisory capacity.
Karnataka Bank Ltd. vs Smt. Sunita B. Vatsaraj on 18 June, 2007
Clerical, manual or technical, the employment would
not be in a supervisory capacity. It is in the light of
these principles that we shall no proceed to examine the
correctness of the decision of the Tribunal in respect of
various categories of workmen involved in this
reference. " (emphasis supplied)
In a recent judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in the
case "Karnataka Bank Ltd. Vs. Sunita B.Vatsaraj (Smt.)" (supra) in
dealing with a similar controversy and after considering the several
decisions of the Supreme Court, this Court has held that mere designation of
an employee or nomenclature of a post is not determinative of the character

Jayhind Vithoba Mahadik vs The General Manager, Maharashtra ... on 13 April, 2004
In any
event the Learned Counsel for the Respondent no.1 has placed reliance on
the other judgments of the Supreme Court and this Court (supra) and not
solely on the judgment in Jayhind Vithoba Mahadik's case. Therefore,
the submissions of the learned Counsel appearing on behalf of the Petitioner
in this regard cannot be accepted.

South Indian Bank Ltd vs A.R. Chacko on 2 December, 1963
"3. The question, whether a person is employed in a
supervisory capacity or on clerical work, in our opinion,
depends upon whether the main and principal duties carried
out by him are those of a supervisory character, or of a
nature carried out by a clerk. If a person is mainly doing
supervisory work, but, incidentally or for a fraction of the
time, also does some clerical work, it would have to be held
that he is employed in supervisory capacity; and,
conversely, if the main work done is of clerical nature, the
mere fact that some supervisory duties are also carried out
incidentally or as a small fraction of the work done by him
will not convert his employment as a clerk into one in
supervisory capacity. This principle finds support from the
decisions of this Court in South Indian Bank Ltd. V.
A.R.Chacko and Management of M/s.May and Baker
(India) Ltd. V. Their Workmen. In the present case, we
have, therefore, to examine the evidence to see whether the
Labour Court is right in holding that, because of the main
work of Gupta being clerical in nature, he was not employed
in supervisory capacity.
