Question : 124 of 200

Marks: +1, -0

Principle:
According to Sec. 2 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, ‘Industrial dispute means any dispute or difference between employers and employers or between employers and workmen or between work men and workmen, which is connected with the employment or non-employment or the terms of employment or with the conditions of labour of any person’.
Facts:
The employees of DK Enterprises met the management and requested half a day leave to allow them to celebrate a lunar eclipse, which was going to happen two days later. The management refused the request. Does this situation amount to an ‘industrial dispute’?

As the difference of opinion between the employees and employer is on declaration of holiday it amounts to an issue connected with employment or with the terms of employment and hence, an industrial dispute.
No as Lunar eclipse is unconnected with employment.
Yes, because there is some difference of opinion it would be an industrial dispute.
No as declaring holidays is a prerogative of the employer. So no industrial dispute.
