• S. 2(j) Industry
Bihar Khadi Gramodyog Sangh is an industry. Gopalji Jha Shastri v.
State of Bihar, (1983) 2 SCC 4: 1983 SCC (L&S) 262
Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board v. A. Rajappa, (1978) 2
SCC 213: 1978 SCC (L&S) 215 –
(a) Where (i) systematic activity, (ii) organized by co-operation
between employer and employee (iii) for the production and/or
distribution of goods and services calculated to satisfy human wants
and wishes, prima facie, there is an ‘industry’ in that enterprise.
(b) Absence of profit motive or gainful objective is irrelevant, be the
venture in the public, joint, private or other sector.
(c) The true focus is functional and the decisive test is the nature of
the activity with special emphasis on the employer-employee
relations.
(d) If the organization is a trade or business it does not cease to be
one because of philanthropy animating the undertaking.
All organized activity possessing the triple elements, although not
trade or business, may still be ‘industry’ provided the nature of the
activity, viz. the employer-employee basis, bears resemblance to
what we find in trade or business.
The consequences are (i) professions, (ii) clubs, (iii) educational
institutions, (iv) co-operatives, (v) research institutes, (vi) charitable
projects, and (vii) other kindred adventures, if they fulfil the above
triple tests, cannot be exempted from the scope of Section 2(j).
Real estate company is an industry. Karnani Properties Ltd. v. State
of W.B., (1990) 4 SCC 472
• S. 2 (k) – Industrial dispute
The dispute arising out of breach of certified standing orders (last
come first go) is an industrial dispute and Civil court has no
jurisdiction. Chief Engineer, Hydel Project v. Ravinder Nath, (2008) 2
SCC 350
An industrial dispute must be supported by a number of workmen; or
sponsored or espoused by the Union. There is no particular form
prescribed to effect such espousal. Proof of support by the union
may also be available aliunde. J.H. Jadhav v. Forbes Gokak Ltd.,
(2005) 3 SCC 202 Even an outside Union may espouse the case of
a workman. Workmen v. Indian Express (P) Ltd., (1969) 1 SCC 228 :
AIR 1970 SC 737
Employment and non-employment
Under the concept of employment the employee agrees to serve the
employer subject to his control and supervision. On the other hand,
non-employment being negative of the expression “employment”
would ordinarily mean a dispute when the workman is out of service.
When non-employment is referable to an employment which at one
point of time was existing would be a matter required to be dealt with
differently than a situation where non-employment would mean a
contemplated employment. Workmen of Nilgiri Coop. Mkt. Society
Ltd. v. State of T.N., (2004) 3 SCC 514
Any person
“Any person” cannot be read without limitation and a person in
respect of which the employer-employee relationship never existed
and can never possibly exist cannot be the subject-matter of dispute
between employers and workmen. Bongaigaon Refinery &
Petrochemicals Ltd. v. Samijuddin Ahmed, (2001) 9 SCC 557
S. 2 (Ka) – Industrial establishment
Since there was no functional integrity in the sixty factories of the
Company, the units had to be taken as one. Monthly Rated
Workmen v. Indian Hume Pipe Co. Ltd., 1986 Supp SCC 79
• S. 2 (l) – Lock-out
• The true test to determine whether it is closure or lock out is whether
the closure was a device or pretence to terminate services of
workmen or whether it is bona fide and for reasons beyond the
control of the employer.
The duration of the closure may be a significant fact to determine
the intention and bona fides of the employer at the time of closure
but is not decisive of the matter. If a rigid view is taken that in case
of a lockout there is only closure of the place of business whereas in
case of a closure there is a closure of the business itself permanent
and irrevocable the if an employer who has resorted to closure,
bona fide wants to reopen, revive and re-start the industrial activity
he cannot do so on the pain that the closure would be adjudged a
device or pretence. General Labour Union (Red Flag), Bombay v.
B.V. Chavan, AIR 1985 SC 297: 1985 SCC (L & S) 253
• S. 2(oo) – Retrenchment
S. 2(oo)(bb)
Termination of a workman having not completed 240 days is not
retrenchment. Bhogpur Co-op. Sugar Mills Ltd. v. Harmesh Kumar,
AIR 2007 SC 288. Onus of proving that the workman had worked for
240 days in 12 calendar months is on the workman, not the
employer. Batala Co-op. Sugar Mills Ltd. v. Sowaran Singh, AIR
2005 SC 56
Termination of service of contract workers for specific period on
completion of contract period is not retrenchment. Punjab State
Electricity Board v. Sudesh Kumar Puri, AIR 2007 (Supp) 647
When a workman is terminated after 89 days on a regular basis and
re-appointed after a gap of one or two days, it is unfair labour
practice and in such cases provision of S. 2(oo)(bb) is not attracted.
Haryana State Electronics Devpt Corpn v. Mamni, AIR 2006 SC
2427 : (2006) 9 SCC 434.
Plea that termination of employment of workers employed
against particular Scheme falls under S. 2(oo)(bb) cannot be
raised for first time in appeal before Supreme Court. Executive
Engineer ZP Engg. Divn. V. Digambara Rao, AIR 2004 SC 4839
• Retrenchment means the termination by the employer of the
service of a workman for any reason whatsoever except those
expressly excluded in the section. Section 2(oo)(bb) should be
harmoniously construed with Sections 25-F, 25-G and 25-H.
Punjab Land Development and Reclamation Corpn. Ltd. v.
Presiding Officer, (1990) 3 SCC 682
• S. 2(p) – Settlement
The bipartite agreement authorized the Bank to stop the
stagnation increment of the employee who is reverted on his own
request after one year of his promotion. Thus when the employee
requested for his reversion after one year of promotion, it was
held that the Bank was right in stopping stagnation increment.
However, it was held that the Bank cold not stop the employee’s
promotion for all times to come because of his request reversion.
C. V. Satheeshchandran v. General Manager, UCO Bank, AIR
2008 SC (Supp) 1371
When a settlement applies to employees as on a cut-off date, it
also applies to all employees appointed thereafter. Ceat Ltd. v.
Murphy India Employees Union, AIR 2006 SC 2412
When employment was given to widow of a worker dying in harness
on contract basis but at the instance of the Union, it was held that
the contract was not a settlement. Indian Drugs and
Pharmaceuticals Ltd. v. Devki Devi, AIR 2006 SC 2691
Settlement can only be in writing. No oral agreement or pleading can
vary, modify or supersede a written settlement. Fabril Gasosa, M/s v.
Labour Commissioner, AIR 1997 SC 954
Settlement in course of conciliation proceeding is binding on all
parties to industrial dispute, i.e. in case of employer, on his heirs,
successors, or assigns and in case of workmen, all persons
employed in establishment. Settlement by agreement between
employer and workmen otherwise than in course of conciliation
proceeding is not binding on workmen not parties to it . General
Manager, Security Paper Mill, Hoshangabad v. R.S. Sharma, AIR
1988 SC 954
• S. 2(q) – Strike
Unless the strike is legal and justified, workmen are not entitled to
wages. Syndicate Bank v. Umesh Nayak, AIR 1995 SC 319

• S. 2(ra) – Unfair labour practices
• S. 2(s)
A workman employed on a part time basis but under the control and
supervision of an employer is a workman in term of Section 2(s) of
the Act, and is entitled to claim the protection of Section 25F.
Divisional Manager, New India Assurance Co. Ltd. v. A.
Sankaralingam, AIR 2009 SC 309: (2008) 10 SCC 698
An employee appointed as Industrial Relations Executive has to
draft management enquiry and to hold conferences with the
advocates in relation to the company's acts. Being in the category of
management staff Gr. II, his conditions of service were different than
those provided for the workers of the Company. Leave given to him
were not applicable under the settlement. He was covered under the
Pension Scheme which did not apply under the settlement with
employees. It was held therefore that he was not a workman. C.
Gupta v. Galaxosmithklin Pharmaceutical Ltd., AIR 2007 SC (Supp)
1244

necessary to prepare draft reply of matters pending in Court. Such

Shell Oil Storage and Distributing Co. of India, Ltd. v. Burma Shell
Management Staff Asscn., AIR 1971 SC 922.
• S. 2-A
In enacting Section 2A the intention of the legislature was that a
individual workman who was discharged, dismissed or retrenched or
whose services were otherwise terminated should be given relief
without its being necessary for the relationship between the
employer and the whole body of employees and attracted to that
dispute and the dispute becoming a generalised one between labour
on the one hand and the employer on the other. Chemicals and
Fibres of India Ltd. v. D.G. Bhoir, AIR 1975 SC 1660

A reference u/S. 10(1) cannot be used to circumvent or by pass the
statutory scheme provided u/S. 25-N. Empire Industries Ltd., M/s. v.
State of Maharashtra, AIR 2010 SC 1389
Badli workers have no protection under the Act. Bangalore Metropolitan
Transport Corporation v. T.V. Anandappa, AIR 2009 SC (Supp) 1058
The Industrial dispute should be existing or apprehended at the time of
reference. When the matter was sought to be raised seeking reference
after seven years, it was held to be stale because at that time there was
no industrial dispute. However when a matter can be said to be stale or
delayed depends on the facts of the case, but a matter which has
attained finality cannot be reopened. Haryana Land Reclamation and
Development Corpn. Ltd. v. Nirmal Kumar, AIR 2008 SC (Supp) 390;
Manager (now Regional Director), R. B. I. v. Gopinath Sharma, AIR 2006
SC 2614
Although the only dispute was with regard to the regularization of the
services of the contractual employees, it was open to the Industrial
Tribunal to determine the nature of the employment as to whether the
employees were employees of the contractor or the principal employer.
G. M., O. N. G. C., Shilchar v. O. N. G. C. Contractual Workers Union,
AIR 2008 SC (Supp) 1994
When the principal question under reference was as to whether the
termination of services of the seasonal worker was justified; the Labour
Court could not go into the question as to whether the Company was
bound to take the services of the worker in all subsequent seasons or
not. Bhogpur Co-op. Sugar Mills Ltd. v. Harmesh Kumar, AIR 2007 SC
288
A settlement was reached between the Bank and Association of
majority of employees, not signed by Employees Federation
representing minority of employees. Bank extended benefit under
settlement to employees who were not members of Association on
accepting the settlement in writing. Federation disputed the clause in
settlement giving benefit only to members of the Association and
action of Bank extending benefit to other employees on giving
individual acceptance of the settlement. Such dispute was not
industrial dispute. Reference of dispute by Govt. to Industrial
Tribunal, was held not proper. Government order making reference
can be challenged in writ petition if futility of the reference can be
shown. ANZ Grindlays Bank Ltd. v. Union of India, AIR 2006 SC
296.
Reference can be made only if a employer-employee relationship
exists. ECI Ltd. v. ECI Service Engineers Union, AIR 2006 SC 2996

cannot be the subject matter of reference. Steel Authority of India
Ltd. v. Union of India, AIR 2006 SC 3229

compensation gives rise to industrial dispute.

SC 1147
Question whether Area Sales Manager falls
within definition of "workman" or not is an
industrial dispute. Sharad Kumar v. Govt. of NCT
of Delhi, AIR 2002 SC 1724
Industrial Tribunal is the creation statute and it
gets jurisdiction on the basis of reference.
Therefore it cannot go into the question on
validity of the reference. National Engineering

SC 469
• S. 11 and 11-A – Powers of Labour Courts etc.
When a reference is made under Section 10 of the Act, all incidental
questions arising thereto can be determined by the Tribunal. State
Bank of India v. Ram Chandra Dubey, (2001) 1 SCC 73
Labour Court can consider the evidence already considered by the
domestic tribunal and arrive at a conclusion different from the one
arrived at by the domestic tribunal. Workmen v. Balmadies Estates,
(2008) 4 SCC 517
Tribunal is duty-bound to consider whether back wages have to be
awarded and if so, to what extent. P.V.K. Distillery Ltd. v. Mahendra
Ram, (2009) 5 SCC 705
Grant of relief must depend on the fact situation. Therefore the
Industrial Tribunal is not bound to grant some relief only because it
will be lawful to do so. Manager, Reserve Bank of India v. S. Mani,
(2005) 5 SCC 100
The Tribunal must attempt to strike a balance between the claim of
the worker and situation f the employer. Laxmi Rattan Cotton Mills
Ltd. v. State of U.P., (2009) 1 SCC 695 While doing so, it is
necessary for the Industrial Courts also to consider as to whether
the industry has been sick or not. If it is found that the industry is not
in a position to bear the financial burden, an appropriate award, as a
result whereof the equities between the parties can be adjusted,
should be passed. Talwara Coop. Credit and Service Society Ltd. v.
Sushil Kumar, (2008) 9 SCC 486
It is not proper for the Tribunal to make an award as if
appointing an incumbent to the post. Entitlement to a post can
be determined only on the touchstone of relevant rules or on
the basis that he is discharging such functions. When the
findings are not clear as if the employee was functioning in
the post to which claim is made, no relief could have been
given. U.P. SEB v. Hydro-Electric Employees Union, (2002) 10
SCC 417
The Tribunal while deciding the issue of termination of the
workers can go into the cause thereof to find out whether
there was a closure and whether such closure was bona fide.

L.K. Verma v. HMT Ltd., (2006) 2 SCC 269
•
S. 17, 17-A and 17-B
Provisions of S. 17(1) are directory. Publication of award beyond fixed
time does not invalidate the award. Remington Rand of India Ltd. v. The
Workmen, AIR 1968 SC 224
A Tribunal ordinarily makes its award operative from the date of
reference; but, in exceptional circumstances it gives retroactive
operation to some of its proposals. Hindustan Antibiotics Ltd. v. The
Workmen, AIR 1967 SC 948
S. 17(2) gives finality to an award. However Rule 28 (31 ?) provides for
correction therein. It is only a clerical mistake or error which can be
corrected, and the clerical mistake or error must arise from an
accidental slip or omission in the award. It must be a mistake or error
amenable to clerical correction only. It must not be a mistake or error
which calls for rectification by modification of the conscious adjudication
on the issues involved. Tata Consulting Engineers v. Workmen
employed under them, AIR 1981 SC 599
Under S. 17-A of the Act, an award becomes enforceable on the expiry
of 30 days from the date of its publication under S. 17. The proceedings
with regard to a reference under Section 10 of the Act are therefore, not
deemed to be concluded until the expiry of 30 days from the publication
of the award. Till then the Tribunal retains jurisdiction over the dispute
referred to it for adjudication and up to that date it has the power to
entertain an application in connection with such dispute. Radhakrishna
Mani Tripathi v. L. H. Patel, AIR 2008 SC (Supp) 928
• Section 17-B has been enacted by Parliament with a view to give
relief to a workman who has been ordered to be reinstated under the
award of a Labour Court or the Industrial Tribunal during the
pendency of proceedings in which the said award is under challenge
before the High Court or the Supreme Court. The object underlying
the provision is to relieve to a certain extent the hardship that is
caused to the workman due to delay in the implementation of the
award. The payment which is required to be made by the employer
to the workman is in the nature of subsistence allowance which
would not be refundable or recoverable from the workman even if
the award is set aside by the High Court or Supreme Court.
Therefore the words "full wages last drawn“ are used. Therefore, the
words "full wages last drawn" must be given their plain and material
meaning and they cannot be given the extended meaning. Dena
Bank v. Kiritikumar T. Patel, AIR 1998 SC 511
• S. 22-24 – Prohibition of strikes and lock-outs
Workman went on illegal strike. Although strike was subsequently
called off, workman continued to disrupt working in the factory from
within factory premises. Company declared Lock out. It was held
that the lock out must be regarded as in consequence of the illegal
strike and cannot be regarded as illegal even if provisions of S. 22
were not complied with. Workmen were held not entitled to wages
for the lock out period. H. M. T. Ltd. v. H. M. T. Head Office
Employees' Assocn., AIR 1997 SC 585
The strength of a trade union depends on its membership. The right
to demonstrate and, therefore, the right to strike is an important
weapon in the armoury of the workers. But the right to strike is not
absolute under our industrial jurisprudence and restrictions have
been placed on it under sections 22 and 23 of the I.D. Act, 1947.
Where no proceedings were pending before conciliation board,
labour court or arbitration tribunal nor any settlement or award
touching the striking workmen was in operation during the strike
period, it was held that the strike was not illegal. B.R. Singh v. Union
of India, AIR 1990 SC 1
Strike commenced within four days of conclusion of conciliation
proceedings was held illegal. India General Navigation and Railway
Co. Ltd. v. Their Workmen, AIR 1960 SC 219
If a conciliation proceeding is pending between one union and the
employer and it relates to matters concerning all the employees of
the employer, the pendency of the conciliation proceeding would be
a bar against all the employees of the employer to go on a strike
during the pendency of the said proceedings under S. 22 (1) (d).
Ramnagar Cane and Sugar Co. Ltd. v. Jatin Chakravorty, AIR 1960
SC 1012
Pendency of a dispute between an individual workman as such and
the employer does not attract the provisions of Section 23. It means
that pendency of a dispute relating to an individual workman under
Section 2A will not debar the other workers from going on strike.
Chemicals and Fibres of India Ltd. v. D.G. Bhoir, AIR 1975 SC 1660
•
Mere breach of a Standing Order could not render the strike illegal
under Sections 23 and 24. Ballarpur Collieries Co. v. Presiding Officer,
C. G. I. T. Dhanbad, AIR 1972 SC 1216
Strike called by the union ignoring conciliation proceedings,
management’s offer and request for deferring the strike for even one
day was held illegal. Management of the Fertilizer Corporation of India
Ltd. v. Workmen, AIR 1970 SC 867
S. 25-B – Continuous service
Service rendered under two different establishments, although under
one central management, cannot be clubbed to reckon continues
service of 240 days in a calendar year. Haryana State Co-operative
Supply Marketing Federation Ltd. v. Sanjay, AIR 2009 SC 3155
Completion of 240 days' work does not confer right of regularisation.
Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd. v. Dan Bahadur Singh, AIR 2007 SC 2733
The expression "actually worked under the employer" cannot mean
those days only when the workman worked with hammer, sickle or pen,
but must necessarily comprehend all those days during which he was in
the employment of the employer and for which he had been paid
wages. Thus Sundays and other paid holidays should be taken into
account for the purpose of reckoning the total number of days on which
the workman could be said to have actually worked. Workmen of A. E. I.
B. Corpn. v. Management A. E. I. B. Corpn., AIR 1986 SC 458 However
period of illegal strike has to be excluded. Management of Standard
Motor Products of India Limited v. A. Parthasarathy, AIR 1986 SC 462
Section 25-B (2) comprehends a situation
where a workman is not in employment for
a period of 12 calendar months, but has
rendered service for a period of 240 days
within the period 12 calendar months
commencing and counting backwards
from the relevant date, i.e., the date of
