He was regularized on the said post on 01-06-1989.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Due to some alleged misconduct by the respondent, he was placed on suspension, and on the same day, a chargesheet was also served upon him. After the inquiry officer submitted his report, the respondent was compulsorily retired from his services vide memorandum dated 19-10-2000.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Thereafter, the respondent raised an industrial dispute, which was referred to the Industrial Tribunal, wherein the decision was made in favour of the petitioner, and it was held that the respondent was not entitled to any relief as was prayed for.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The respondent then filed a miscellaneous application under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001532589\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">33-A<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002756734\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a>, alleging that permission was not sought from the Tribunal before compulsorily retiring him during the pendency of the industrial dispute. The Tribunal, vide order dated 15-05-2006, held that the conduct of the petitioner was punishable under Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001532586\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">31<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002756734\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a> and directed him to reinstate the respondent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">Aggrieved, the petitioner filed the instant petition and stated that the Tribunal had incorrectly held him to be an industry and erred in imposing a penalty as per Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001532586\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">31<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002756734\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a>. It was also mentioned that 53 complaints were made against the respondent, and more than 85 memos had been served upon him for various charges, which led to him being compulsorily retired.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The respondent contended that the action of the petitioner was in contravention of Section <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0001532589\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">33-A<\/a> of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scconline.com\/DocumentLink.aspx?q=JTXT-0002756734\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Act<\/a> which stipulates that the condition of service of an employee must remain unchanged during the pendency of an industrial dispute.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: bold;\">Analysis and Decision<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">The Court noted that the short question which fell for adjudication was whether the impugned order required intervention.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 3%;\">It was further noted that the Tribunal observed that the petitioner was an industry in view of <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">Bangalore Water Supply and Sewage Board<\/span> v. <span style=\"font-style: italic;\">A.
