This new thoroughly revised edition of Elements of Industrial Law, like its earlier editions, presents the fundamental principles of Industrial Law in a simple and easily comprehensible manner. Since the last edition of the book, there have been quite a few amendments to the prevailing laws, besides the introduction of new laws. All such legislative changes, particularly amendments to the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972; Payment of Wages Act, 1936; Maternity Benefits Act, 1961; Payment of Bonus Act, 1968; and Employees’ Provident Funds Act, 1952, have duly been incorporated in this edition for the benefit of the readers at large. The new edition makes the subject easily intelligible even to a non-professional. This objective could be achieved by— Explaining the subject with the help of illustrative cases so that it is easily assimilated by the reader Showing how law is derived from Statutes and cases are decided and how the principles of law are applied to problems which arise in day-to-day life and in the conduct of business
