Whether ‘Appropriate Govt’ In Industrial Dispute Concerning Person Working At ‘Mine Office’ Is Centre Or State Depends On Nature Of Work
Case: Rajendrasinh Velubha Jadeja VS General Manager (Project)
Coram: Justice Biren Vaishnav
Case No.: C/SCA/1548/2019
Court Observation: “Merely because such workmen or employees are working in the “office of the mine” which may be on the surface of the mine by itself may not be a conclusive factor. What needs to be seen is the nature of work and the proximity and intimate relation to the mining operations.”
“It may be that some of the work done in the office of the mine situated at the surface of the mine may be incidental to or connected with the mining operations for example keeping muster roll of workmen of payment register maintained by them. Clerks engaged in such type of work may be said to be persons employed in the mine but the same was wholly unconnected with the mining operations.”
