The Management Of Tractor'S And Farms ... vs The Presiding Officer, Labour Court, B. ... on 25 July, 2007
In the case of Radhey Shyam and Anr. v. State of Haryana and Anr. 1999 (2) L.L.N 497, it has been held after considering various judgments of the Supreme Court that Section 2A contemplates nothing more than to declare an individual dispute to be an industrial dispute. It does not amend the definition of industrial dispute set out in Section 2(k) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (which is similar to Section 2(1) of the said 1947 Act). Section 2A does not cover every type of dispute between an individual workman and his employer. Section 2A enables the individual worker to raise an industrial dispute, notwithstanding, that no other workmen or union is a party to the dispute. Section 2A applies only to disputes relating to discharge, dismissal, retrenchment or termination of service of an individual workman. It does not cover other kinds of disputes such as bonus, wages, leave facilities etc.
