Twist in Section 25 of Industrial Disputes Act
labour bar_exam beginner trick_questionYaar, this one's got me scratching my head. Most people think they know Section 25 of IDA, but trust me, this one's a trap. It says: "That nothing in this Part shall preclude the State Government from making provision for the compulsory acquisition of any industrial dispute by agreement." Simple, right? But the twist is - it says "industrial dispute" and not "industry".
Mere baap re, most people will start talking about the definition of an industrial dispute and how it's a condition precedent for the State Government to acquire any industry. But hold on, the real issue here is that the State Government can acquire anything related to an industrial dispute, not necessarily an industry. So, if there's a dispute between two employees, the State Government can still acquire it under Section 25, even if it's not an industry. So, be careful, yaar!
