far as Baban Pandhere is concerned, by the time the Industrial Court delivered its judgment on 19 July 2004, he had rendered services of 19 long years. So far as the contention of Mrs. Bane about engagement of employees as temporary workers and nonrendering of services throughout the year is concerned, the said contention is belied by the evidence on record. The witness of the Petitioner has admitted in his cross-examination that the employees were paid pay scale during rainy season and that they were paid Rs.36/- per day during rest of the year. Thus, it is conclusively proved that the employees were engaged throughout the year and that they performed the work of recording rainfall during rainy season and recording temperature during rest of the year. I am therefore not inclined to interfere with the finding of fact, which is well supported by evidence, recorded by the Industrial Court about continuous engagement of the employees by the Petitioners. Since the details given in Annexure-A to the complaint are admitted, it is proved beyond iota of doubt that the concerned workmen rendered more than five years of continuous service.
