    1. A. twelve
    2. B. eight
    3. C. ten
    4. D. six
    Show the answer

    Section 4(4) IRC caps the Grievance Redressal Committee at ten members, with equal representation of employer and workers under Section 4(2) and adequate representation of women workers.

  2. Question 2 · Labour & Industrial Law Practice Set 1

    Assertion (A): No civil suit lies against a registered Trade Union for an act done in furtherance of an industrial dispute to which its member is a party merely on the ground that the act induces some other person to break a contract of employment. Reason (R): A registered Trade Union is liable in a civil court for every tortious act done by its agent in furtherance of an industrial dispute, even where the agent acted contrary to express instructions given by the executive of the union.

    1. A. A is false, but R is true
    2. B. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
    3. C. A is true, but R is false
    4. D. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
    Show the answer

    C. A is true, but R is false

    A restates Section 16(1) IRC. R is false: under Section 16(2) a registered Trade Union is not liable for a tortious act of its agent done in furtherance of an industrial dispute if it is proved that the agent acted without the knowledge of, or contrary to express instructions of, the executive.

  3. Question 3 · Labour & Industrial Law Practice Set 1

    Consider the following statements about certification of standing orders under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020: 1. Where an employer adopts the model standing order of the Central Government for matters relevant to his establishment, it is deemed to be certified. 2. If the certifying officer does not complete the certification procedure within sixty days of receiving the draft standing orders, they are deemed to be certified. 3. An appeal against the order of the certifying officer lies to the High Court within ninety days. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?

    1. A. 1, 2 and 3
    2. B. 1 and 3 only
    3. C. 2 only
    4. D. 1 and 2 only
    Show the answer

    D. 1 and 2 only

    Section 30(3) IRC deems an adopted model standing order to be certified, and the proviso to Section 30(5) deems drafts certified if the procedure is not completed in sixty days. Under Section 32 the appeal lies to the appellate authority appointed by the appropriate Government, within sixty days, not to the High Court.

  4. Question 4 · Labour & Industrial Law Practice Set 1

    Consider the following statements about voluntary reference of disputes to arbitration under Section 42 of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020: 1. The employer and the workers may refer an existing or apprehended industrial dispute to arbitration by a written agreement. 2. Where the agreement provides for an even number of arbitrators, it must provide for an umpire whose award prevails if the arbitrators are equally divided. 3. The Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 applies to such arbitrations in matters not covered by the Code. 4. The arbitrator submits the signed arbitration award to the appropriate Government. Which of the statements given above are correct?

    1. A. 1 and 4 only
    2. B. 2, 3 and 4 only
    3. C. 1, 2 and 4 only
    4. D. 1, 2 and 3 only
    Show the answer

    C. 1, 2 and 4 only

    Section 42(1), (2) and (6) IRC support statements 1, 2 and 4. Section 42(8) says nothing in the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 applies to arbitrations under this section, so statement 3 is wrong.

  5. Question 5 · Labour & Industrial Law Practice Set 1

    Under the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, a dispute between a single worker and his employer arising out of his dismissal is an industrial dispute because:

    1. A. it becomes one only when the appropriate Government refers it to the Tribunal
    2. B. it is included in the definition of industrial dispute in Section 2(q) itself
    3. C. it becomes one only when a registered Trade Union espouses the worker's cause
    4. D. it becomes one only when a substantial number of co-workers support the claim
    Show the answer

    B. it is included in the definition of industrial dispute in Section 2(q) itself

    Section 2(q) IRC expressly includes any dispute between an individual worker and an employer connected with or arising out of discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or termination; Section 4(9) restates the same rule. Under the 1947 Act this result came from the separate deeming provision in Section 2A(1).
