Judgment :- Anantanarayanan, J. This writ appeal instituted by respondent 2 in Writ Petition No. 723 of 1961 before Veeraswami, J., will obviously have to be allowed, in the light of the decision of the Supreme Court in Central Bank of India v. Rajagopalan (P.S.) and others which was followed and applied to the facts in Writ Appeal No. 213 of 1962 [Daniel Dorairaj v. Buckingham and Carnatic Company, Ltd. (vide p. 207 supra)], decided by the Chief Justice and my learned brother, Ramamurti, J. The facts in the present matter are that respondent 2 was an employee of the management of S. U. S. Davey Sons, Madras, the writ petitioner before the learned Judge. He was dismissed from service with effect from 21 February, 1959. But, admittedly, the order of dismissal was set aside by the Additional Commissioner for Workmen's Compensation, on an appeal petition filed by respondent 2 (the present appellant) under S.41 of the Madras Shops and Establishments Act. The effect of that, as the learned Judge (Veeraswami, J.) himself states, was undoubtedly as though the order of dismissal did not exist. Subsequently, the management sought to challenge the order of the Commissioner by successively filing a writ petition and a Writ appeal in this Court, both of which proceedings were unsuccessful. The appellant claimed back-wages or salary for the period from 21 February, 1959 to 31 October, 1960. He instituted applications in the labour court to compute such wages payable to him, as though they constituted a "benefit" to which the appellant was entitled, under S.33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act. In making the rule nisi absolute and quashing the order of the labour court in so far as it related to the question of the maintainability of the applications filed by this appellant Veeraswami, J., acted upon the view of the scope of S.33C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act which had been earlier adopted by the learned Judge in Writ Petitions Nos. 195 of 1960 In brief, the view was that the scope of S. 33C(2) was co-extensive or identical with the scope of S.33C(1) of the Act, and that unless the benefit was embodied or formed part of the settlement or award, or it arose under the provisions of Chap. V-A, no application would lie under S. 33C(2). 195 of 1960 In brief, the view was that the scope of S. 33C(2) was co-extensive or identical with the scope of S.33C(1) of the Act, and that unless the benefit was embodied or formed part of the settlement or award, or it arose under the provisions of Chap. V-A, no application would lie under S. 33C(2). But it is precisely this view of S. 33C(2) which has been departed from in the decision of the Supreme Court that we have earlier referred to, and the judgment in Writ Appeal No. 213 of 1962 [vide p. 207 supra], which follows that decision. Learned counsel for the respondent-employer does not dispute that the true position at law is that S. 33C(2) is wider in its scope than S. 33C(1), so that the labour court would have jurisdiction to proceed into the question of the right of the appellant to the back-wages claimed, provided the benefit is capable of being computed in terms of money. Learned counsel for the employer desires, however, to make a reservation in respect of pleas that might be validly urged by him in the labour court itself, upon the precise application of principles of S.33C(2) of the Act to the facts of the instant case. That, however, is a matter that does not concern us at the moment, since the applications are pending, and therefore the maintainability is manifest, in the light of the principle that we have referred to.The Writ appeal is accordingly allowed, setting aside the issue of the Writ by the learned Judge. The parties will bear their own costs.
