Orissa Road Transport Co. Ltd. v. Ramesh Chandra Gauda, [1994] II LLJ
1127 (1128-29) (Ori.) (D.B.), per Rath, J.) has pointed out that this
clause being in the nature of an exception cannot be given meaning
which will nullify or curtail the ambit of the principle clause,
because it is not intended to be an outlet to unscrupulous employers
to shunt out workmen in the garb of non-renewal of the contract even
if the work subsists. The clause, therefore, has to be construed
strictly in favour of the workman as far as possible. This provision
cannot be resorted to, to frustrate the claim of the employee against
uncalled for retrenchment or for denying other benefits. In other
words, it is not to be so interpreted as to enable an employer to
resort to the policy of `hire and fire' and give unguided power to
him to renew or not to renew the contract irrespective of the
circumstances in which it was entered into or the nature and extent
of work for which he was employed. It has to be interpreted to limit
it to the case where the work itself has been accomplished and the
agreement of hiring for a specific period was genuine. If the work
continues, the non-renewal of the contract has to be dubbed as mala
fide.

Punjab State Electricity Board vs Darbara Singh on 17 November, 2005
Learned
advocate Mr. Mithani relied upon decision in case of Punjab
State Electricity Board Vs. Darbara Singh reported in 2006 LLR 68.
Learned advocate Mr. Mithani relied upon this decision only on the
ground that such periodical appointment is covered by exception of
section 2(oo)(bb) of I. D. Act and such termination can not consider
to be retrenchment. Therefore, section 25 F is not required to be
complied with. This judgment is not helpful to learned advocate Mr.
Mithani because facts are otherwise. In facts of present, post in
which respondent workman was appointed it was a regular vacancy of
driver post which has been merely giving appointment on periodical
basis. So it was not contractual appointment on temporary post but
it was an appointment on periodical basis against regular vacant
post of driver. Therefore, this decision is not applicable to facts
of present case.
M.D., Karnataka Handloom Dev. Corpn. ... vs Sri Mahadeva Laxman Raval on 16 November, 2006
He
relied upon another decision of Apex Court in case of M. D.,
Karnataka Handloom Dev. Corpn. Ltd Vs. Mahadeva Laxman Raval
reported in AIR 2007 SC 631, where Apex Court has considered
fact that respondent engaged on contract basis as assigned to train
weavers on time specific short term scheme sponsored by State
Handloom Dev. Corpn., paid stipend, is not a 'worker'. Soon after
expiry of specific period respondent's service was discontinued. It
is not retrenchment, as defined under section 2(oo) of the I. D.
Act. The aforesaid decision is also not applicable to facts of this
case. However, decision which has been relied by learned advocate
Mr. Mithani mainly to establish his defence that case of respondent
workman covered by exception of section 2(oo)(bb) of I. D. Act, but
this specific contention was not raised before Labour Court that
case of termination of workman covered by exception u/s 2(oo)(bb) of
I. D. Act, 1947. However, Labour Court has impliedly dealt with
this contention on the ground that post has been created by
petitioner authority on regular basis and against that post, workman
was appointed as driver which period has been subsequently extended
by petitioner authority. Thereafter, on 30/6/2003 service of
workman was terminated means not extended and though it was not an
appointment of workman for short term basis or in project or under
scheme which required to be made periodical appointment. After
terminating service of workman post of driver remained continue in
which another person was appointed. Therefore, petitioner authority
has not justified such termination of workman which has been found
to be contrary to section 25 F G and H of I. D. Act, 1947.
