1 IN THE HIGH COURT OF JUDICATURE AT BOMBAY CIVIL APPELLATE JURISDICTION WRIT PETITION NO.7883 OF 2009 M/s. Tops Security Ltd., )..Petitioners Vs Santosh Singh & Ors. )..Respondents ---- Mr.B.K.Ashok i/by Bekay Legal for the petitioners. Mr.S.N.Patil AGP for the respondent no.3. Mrs.Rita Desai i/by Mrs.Pallavi Divekar for the respondent no.2. ---- Coram : R.S.MOHITE,J Date : 1st December, 2009. PC 1 By this petition the employer impugns an award dated 20.12.2008 by which the labour court had allowed the reference in favour of the workman and directed the petitioner-company to reinstate their workman with full back wages and continuity of service from 27.12.2000. It is contended that the judgment is erroneous because the petitioner-company has lost the exemption granted to the security guards in the year 2000 and thereafter is carrying on work illegally. In my view, the submission is without substance. There are organizations which require security and they are not covered by the Security Guards Act. The labour court has correctly held that the petitioner is a service provider. The workman is not concerned as to where he is to be provided work. The 2 impugned order has been passed on the basis that the termination of the services of the workmen was illegal. It is also noticed that on 16.7.2009 a letter has been written to the concerned workman by the petitioners making an offer that if the workman wants to be deployed as security guard at any of their site, he should comply with the specification prescribed under MPSG Act, 1981 and PSARA Act 2005. This offer clearly shows that the work of a security guard is available. In this view of the matter, there is no substance in the matter. Petition is summarily rejected. (R.S.MOHITE,J) 3
