APPRENTICES ACT, 1961 1

THE APPRENTICES ACT, 1961

[52 OF 1961]1 An Act to provide for the regulation and control of training of apprentices

2[***] and for matters connected therewith. Be it enacted by Parliament in the Twelfth Year of the Republic of India as follows:

CHAPTER I PRELIMINARY

1. Short title, extent, commencement and application.- (1) This Act may be called the Apprentices Act, 1961. (2) It extends to the whole of India 3[***]. (3) It shall come into force on such date4 as the Central Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, appoint; and different dates may be appointed for different States. (4) The provisions of this Act shall not apply to—

(a) any area or to any industry in any area unless the Central Government by notification in the Official Gazette specifies that area or industry as an area or industry to which the said provisions shall apply with effect from such date as may be mentioned in the notification:

(b) 5[***]; (c) 6[any such special apprenticeship scheme for imparting training to

apprentices as may be notified by the Central Government in the Official Gazette].

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. Rajendra Singh v. U.P. State Electricity Board 2000 (86) FLR 155 (All.-D-B.) Termination after training period. Respondent no.2 was apprentice with petitioner company. He was not given regular service on completion of training. He raised industrial dispute and on reference, Labour Court held termination to be illegal. Hence this writ petition.

2 APPRENTICES ACT, 1961

Held: Status of apprentice is different from that of regular workman. Appointment order 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 – Applicability – 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.) Appointment 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 resolution is unassailable. 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 completion 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. Ram Swaroop Sharma v. Labour Court, Jaipur 2000 (85) FLR 102 (Raj.H.C.).

NOTE S.18 – Apprentice 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

NOTES S.22 – Criteria for regular appointment of trainees or apprentices. 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 petitioner’s 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. Md. Elias Khan v. S.A.I.L & Ors. 2002 I LLJ 723 (Cal.H.C.)
