NOTES
Apprentice.-For appointment, cannot claim exemption from entrance test.
The controversy whether an apprentice is required to appear in a competitive test is set at
rest by the judgment of the Full Bench. Following the same it is held that appellants who
have completed their apprenticeship training cannot claim any legal right that they should
not be required to appear in any examination or competitive test which may be held by the
respondents for making selection for the advertised posts.

2 APPRENTICES ACT, 1961

provided for termination without notice. Denial of service after training is not a punishment.
Certified Standing Orders specified period of training. The award of Labour Court is set
aside.
Management of T.I. Diamond Chain Ltd. v. P.O. Labour Court 2003 I CLR 57 (Mad.H.C.)
Apprentice Act, 1961 Appli cability Trainees under a Scheme.
Petitioner union filed this petition on behalf of 22 employees. The claim is that these
employees though styled as trainees are in fact doing regular work, that they have
completed 240 days of service and that they be regularised as regular employees and be
paid wages accordingly. Respondent has set out the scheme under which these 22
persons are given training and that they are trainees and not employees.
Held: Apprentices Act, 1961 is not applicable to the present case. The training is given to
22 candidates as per the training of the respondent. 22 candidates have accepted the
scheme and acted upon it and that at fag end of training they have come out to say that
they be treated as regular employees which would amount to backdoor entry and that as
such there is no substance in this petition and is dismissed.
Petroleum Employees Union v. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. 2001 I CLR 785 (Bom.-D.B.)
Appoi ntment otherwise than under Act.
In this case, petitioner challenges the direction given by the Industrial Court in respect of
payments to be made to apprentices appointed otherwise than under the Act. Accepting
the challenge, it is held that there is no evidence that petitioner has appointed any
apprentice otherwise than under the Act. Said direction is therefore set aside and quashed.
Sangamner Bhag Sahkari Sakhar Karkhana Ltd. v. Rashtriya Sakhar Kamgar Union 2000
II CLR 941 (Bom.H.C.)
Board resoluti on i s unassailabl e.
The challenge is to the respondent Board Resolution dt. 3.3.1997 to give preference in
direct recruitment to apprentice trainee.
It is held that the impugned resolution, whether it amounts to supplementing or supplanting
statutory regulations is clearly unassailable since same has been issued in compliance with
the criteria laid down by Supreme Court in the case of UPSRTC s case AIR 1995 SC 1115
and the same is binding under Art.144 of the Constitution.
Shivraj Kudamble v. Karnataka Electricity Board 2001 LIC 122 (Karn.-D.B.)
Continuation after completi on of training.
The petitioner commenced his apprenticeship as a General Clerk under the Apprentice Act,
1961. He completed his training on 12.10.1980 and as per amended standing orders on
12.10.1981. The term could not be extended thereafter. Yet he was allowed to continue till
7.10.1982. Therefore it will be presumed that he was verbally appointed as General Clerk.
Termination of service was therefore retrenchment.

NOTE
S.18 Apprenti ce or workman.
When termination of service of the respondent is challenged, employer took up a defence
that respondent was an apprentice or a trainee. Labour Court passed an award in favour
of respondent. Hence this writ petition.
Held: Respondent was certainly a trainee and was undergoing training in the trade of
lineman. Status of the respondent as apprentice under the Act subsequently came to be
frustrated by refusal of registration of contract. The respondent was thus intended trainee
and not an intended workman. The dominant purpose or object of imparting training is not


frustrated by refusal to register conrtact. The provisions of Industrial Disputes Act do not
apply to trainee apprentice. Award is therefore set aside.

NOTES
S.22 Criteria f or regular appoi ntment of trainees or apprenti ces.
The relevant principles are as follows:
(1) Other things being equal trained apprentice should be given preference.
(2) Trainee need not get his name sponsored by Employment Exchange.
(3) Age bar should be relaxed in accordance with service rule and service rule in silent,
relaxation to the extend of training.
(4) Persons trained earlier be treated seniors. These principles laid down in earlier
decisions are approved. It is further held that the apprentices have to go through procedure
of examination/interview.
U.P. Rajya Vidyut Parishad Apprentice Welfare Association v. State of U.P. 2000 LIC 2702
(S.C.)
S.22 Relief by way of appointment.
Petitioner successfully completed apprenticeship but is denied appointment and hence the
petition.
In view of S.22 of the Act, apprenticeship does not ensure appointment. The position in law
is very clear that the petitioner by reason of apprenticeship cannot claim appointment.
However in the peculiar facts of the petitioners case ought to have been considered for
being engaged in non-work area. He has perferct vision in one eye and not the other.
Hence direction to constitute Medical Board to examine the petitioner and the respondent
to act as per said report.
