Does the Industrial Disputes Act (IDA) apply to companies registered under Section 13 of the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1958 in cases of illegal termination? How will disputes be handled under this Act if not? Are there any relevant cases or sections that mention the applicability of the IDA to Section 13 of the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1958 for termination of employees considered as workmen?
Sir, the Industrial Disputes Act (IDA) applies to employees classified as "workmen." If an employee in a company under Section 13 of the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishment Act, 1958 is considered a "workman," IDA provisions may apply for illegal termination. If not, disputes will be handled under the Punjab Shops and Commercial Establishment Act through the Labour Commissioner or Labour Court.
