2. In all these Writ Petitions, the petitioner herein, which is a Co-operative Sugar Mill, have challenged the orders of the Original Authority and the Appellate Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 (hereinafter referred to as "The Act"), whereby the Authorities had ordered for payment of gratuity to the respondents workmen. The main ground taken by the petitioner/Management is that the petitioner/Co-operative Sugar Mill is a Seasonal Establishment and all these respondents/ workmen were Non Mazdoor Roll employees and therefore could be entitled for gratuity at the rate of seven days wages for each season, as per the second proviso to Section 4 of the Act. Another ground raised is that, the onus of proving the completion of 240 days of continuous service was on the workmen

and since they have not produced any documents to substantiate such continuous service, they are not entitled for 15 days wages for each complete year of service under Section 4(2) of the Act.

3. The learned counsel appearing for the respondents/ workmen on the other hand, would submit that, these respondents were not under seasonal employment at all and the petitioner/ Co-operative Sugar Mill was also not a Seasonal Establishment and therefore there was no infirmity in the orders of the Authorities. At the outset, it requires to be mentioned here that admittedly, the Government had neither declared the petitioner/Co-operative Sugar Mill as a Seasonal Establishment nor was the employment of any section of their employees declared as seasonal workers. Since the petitioner's claim that these workers are entitled for only seven days wages, per season as provided under the second proviso to Section 4 of the Act, it is crucial that the nature of the petitioner Co-operative Sugar Mill should be substantiated.

4. Under Section 25(A)(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, whenever a question arises as to whether an Industrial Establishment is a seasonal character or whether the work performed therein, is only intermittent or not, it is the Government which requires to declare that particular Industrial Establishment or the work performed therein as 'seasonal'. When the petitioner had not obtained any such orders from the Government with regard to the nature of their Co-operative Sugar Mill or the work performed therein, the very basis on which they claim that these workmen are entitled for seven days wages, cannot be substantiated. It requires to be reiterated that the second proviso to Section 4 of the Act applies only to seasonal establishments. When the petitioner has not been declared by the Government to be a Seasonal Establishment, they would automatically entitled for payment of gratuity under Section 4

(2) of the Act at the rate of 15 days wages for every completed year of service. This is precisely the computation made by the Original Authority, as confirmed by the Appellate Authority. As such, the first ground raised by the learned counsel for the petitioner does not require consideration.

5. The petitioner herein had relied upon various decisions to show that since the workmen had taken a stand that they are continuous service in the Co-operative Sugar Mill and sought for payment of gratuity, the onus is on them to prove the same. The decisions relied upon by the learned counsel need not be addressed since even in Labour Laws, there is an initial burden cast on the workmen to prove their claim of continuous service. In the present case in hand, such initial burden has been complied with by them and therefore, it is for the Management to substantiate that these workmen were not in continuous service

at all. In this background, when the impugned orders were perused, it is seen that apart from the attendance register, the petitioner had not produced any other documents like the salary disbursement registers, bonus payment registers, minimum wages registers, etc. The Original Authority had placed reliance on the oral evidence adduced by M.W.1, wherein the witness had admitted that, the documents which they had not produced would substantiate the factum of continuous service and thereby had come to the conclusion that the workers were in continuous service under the petitioner Management. Having failed to produce the relevant documents to substantiate their claim and when the workers have already established their initial burden of proving the case, I do not find any reason to interfere with the impugned orders on this ground also.

6. In all these cases, both the Original Authority, as well as the Appellate Authority, have rendered concurrent findings by holding that the respondents workmen are entitled for payment of gratuity for their respective period of continuous services. This Court exercising its powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India, will not interfere with such concurrent findings or re-appraise the evidences, unless such findings are "perverse" or based on "No Evidence". None of the grounds raised by the petitioner Management are questioning the perversity in the impugned orders or that these orders are based on "No Evidence". As such, I do not find any merits in the present Writ Petitions. Accordingly, all the Writ Petitions stand dismissed.

In view of the dismissal of the present Writ Petitions, the concerned respondent workmen are at liberty to approach the appropriate authority seeking for withdrawal of the amounts deposited by the petitioner Management, by filing of appropriate applications. Consequently, the connected Miscellaneous Petition (s) is/are closed. There shall be no orders as to costs. Sd/- Assistant Registrar(CS III) //True Copy// Sub Assistant Registrar DP To 1.
