Paradip Port Trust, Paradip vs Their Workmen on 9 September, 1976
Section 36 is not exhaustive but only supplemental to any other lawful
mode of representation of parties. The parties, however, will have to conform
to the conditions laid down in Section 36(4) in the matter of representation by
legal practitioners. Both the consent of the opposite party and the leave of the
tribunal will have to be secured to enable a party to seek representation before
the tribunal through a legal practitioner qua legal practitioner. This is the
clear significance of Section 36(4) of the Act. If, however, a legal
practitioner is appointed as an officer of a company or corporation and is in
their pay and under their control and is not a practising advocate the fact that
he was earlier a legal practitioner or has a legal degree will not stand in the
way of the company or the corporation being represented by him. Similarly if a
legal practitioner is an officer of an association of employers or of a
federation of such associations, there is nothing in Section 36(4) to prevent
him from appearing before the tribunal under the provisions of Section 36(2) of
the Act. Again, an office-bearer of a trade union or a member of its executive,
even though he is a legal practitioner, will be entitled to represent the
workmen before the tribunal under Section 36(1) in the former capacity. The
legal practitioner in the above two cases will appear in the capacity of an
officer of the association in the case of an employer and in the capacity of an
office-bearer of the union in the case of workmen and not in the capacity of a
legal practitioner. The fact that a person is a legal practitioner will not
affect the position if the qualifications specified in Section 36(1) and Section
36(2) are fulfilled by him. It must be made clear that there is no scope for
enquiry by the tribunal into the motive for appointment of such legal
practitioners as office-bearers of the trade unions or as officers of the
employers' associations. When law provides for a requisite qualification for
exercising a right, fulfilment of the qualification in a given case will entitle
the party to be represented before the tribunal by such a person with that
qualification. How and under what circumstances these qualifications have been
obtained will not be relevant matters for consideration by the tribunal in
considering an application for representation under Section 36(1) and Section
36(2) of the Act. Once the qualifications under Section 36(1) and Section 36(2)
are fulfilled prior to appearance before tribunals, there is no need under the
law to pursue the matter in order to find out whether the appointments are in
circumvention of Section 36(4) of the Act. Motive of the appointment cannot be
made an issue before the tribunal.
