Shri Vikas Kumar vs South Delhi Municipal Corporation on 20 January, 2023
15. As already discussed, there is nothing on record to suggest that workman
remained unemployed for such a long period. It cannot be presumed that
workman remained idle for such a long period. Now as far as, the quantum of
compensation is concerned paragraph 41 of case titled Vikas Kumar Vs. South

10. Issue No. 2. Whether the workman was appointed for fixed tenure w.e.f.
02.08.2013 to 31.01.2014 if so, its effect? OPM
It is contention of the management that the workman was appointed for
fixed tenure w.e.f. 02.08.2013 to 31.01.2014. On the other hand, the workman
has contended that he was appointed in September 2011 and terminated on
10.10.2013. The management intends to take benefit of Section 2(oo)(bb) of the
Industrial Disputes Act and as per Ld. AR for the management the termination
of the service of the workman as a result of non-renewal of contract of
employment will not amount to retrenchment. The above exception i.e. Section
2(oo)(bb) of Industrial Disputes Act has come under judicial scrutiny several
times particularly in the cases where the same is restored to arbitrary and only
periodic extensions are given to the workman to deny them the protection of
Section 20 F of Industrial Disputes Act. The Hon'ble Supreme Court in case
titled as Junagadh Municipal Corporation Vs. Dipakbhai Pratapbhai
Karamata, CLPA 335 2020 has categorically observed that such excepted
categories required a rigorous test. The following observations are relevant:

Hence, it can be seen that Section 2 (oo) (bb) is meant to cover only
employment which would be needed for a employer for a specific period or is
seasonal in nature. No evidence is on record to show that the nature of work on
which the workman was employed was not perennial in nature. The Hon'ble
Supreme Court in case titled as K.V.Anil Mithra & Anr. Vs. Sree
Sankaracharya University of Sanskrit & Anr. CA No. 9068/2014 has held that
the benefit of Section 25 F of Industrial Disputes Act is even available to casual

13. As far as reinstatement is concerned, it does not seem to be an ideal
option. On this point, this court finds support from the judgment of the Hon'ble
Supreme Court of India in case titled as Employers, Management of Central P
& D Inst. Ltd Vs. Union of India & Another, AIR 2005 Supreme Court 633 in
which it was held that
"it is not always mandatory to order reinstatement after holding the
termination illegal and instead compensation can be granted by the court."
