In cases of closure the workmen are terminated and not retrenched. Overtime wages can be claimed under section 33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. As per standing orders, employee may be required to obtain written permission for engagement in any other employment and it may only be granted if the activity does not affect his duties and interests of the factory. Labour Court, while exercising jurisdiction under Sections 33C(2) and 33C(3) of the ID Act, must independently determine material issues such as cut-off date for payment. Lumpsum compensation in lieu of reinstatement is proper when the workman was now gainfully employed and had earlier been paid wages under section 17B of the ID Act. Misappropriation of cash, especially by bank officials, is a grave misconduct justifying dismissal. Company cannot deny statutory payments to workman merely because he did not raise any objections. Failure to produce complete muster rolls allows adverse inference of continuous service. Being found in the possession of liquor in the course of employment is a grave misconduct justifying dismissal. The question of workman cannot be decided by the appropriate Government while making reference of industrial dispute. Punishment of dismissal for stealing things from the premises of the establishment is proper. Mere denial of the right by the employer may not be sufficient to negative the claim made under section 33C(2) of the I.D. Act. No claim can be made against the principal employer when the employees admitted that they were employed with the contractor.
