of <h1>Supreme Court upholds Industrial Tribunal decision on workmen reinstatement rights under Coal Mines Nationalisation Act.</h1> <h3>Emp. Management of Ramkanali Coll. M/s BCCL Versus Workmen by Secy. Rasht. Coll. Maz. Sangh & ANR.</h3> The Supreme Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's decision directing the reinstatement of workmen who were found to be employees at the time of coal mine ... - Issues involved: Dispute regarding employment status of workmen post nationalization of coal mines.Summary:The dispute arose when four workmen claimed they were stopped from work by the management after the nationalization of the coal mines. The Industrial Tribunal found that these workmen were indeed employees at the time of takeover and directed their reinstatement with continuity of service. The management challenged this decision in the High Court, but the Division Bench upheld the Tribunal's award. The appeal before the Supreme Court raised the issue of the applicability of Section 14 of the Coal Mines Nationalisation Act, 1973 to protect the employment rights of the workmen.The Supreme Court analyzed the provisions of Section 14 of the Act and previous case law to determine the scope of protection granted to employees under the Act. The Court noted that the deletion and substitution of Section 14 did not affect the rights of the workmen in question, as they were found to be employees at the time of takeover and were only prevented from working. The Court upheld the Tribunal's award, emphasizing that the workmen never ceased to be employees and were entitled to reinstatement with continuity of service. The appeal was dismissed, and no costs were awarded.In conclusion, the Supreme Court affirmed the Tribunal's decision regarding the reinstatement of the workmen, highlighting that the amendment to Section 14 did not impact the rights of the employees in this case. The Court held that the workmen were entitled to protection under the Act and should be reinstated with continuity of service, as they were found to be employees at the time of nationalization.
