Taking up the last point it is sufficient to point out that the evidence of W. W. 1, B. S. Chauhan, who is a member of the executive of the . U. P. Trade Union Congress, Kanpur, shows that the seasonal workers other than those . who left on the evening of March 12, 1959, were borne on the muster roll of the appellants on March 13, 1959. His evidence on the point has not been challenged in the cross-examination. Nor have the appellants examined any witness for the purpose of showing how many seasonal . workers were borne on the muster roll on March 13, 1959 .. The only. witness examined by them, Shrl K. K. Sinha, who is working as Manufacturing Chemist, has no knowledge about the matter because, as admitted by him in · his cross·examination, he was not working in the mills in the 1958-59 crushing season. Since the total number of seasonal workers was 1,600 and nearly a thousand had left on March 12, 1959 the number of those who continued to work till March 16, 19!)9 must be six hundred. ·We must, therefore, proceed on the basis tlat the naes of abol,lt 609
