Rule 44 Industrial Disputes (Central) Rules | Past Service in Separate Establishments Cannot Be Aggregated for Works Committee Eligibility : Rajasthan HC
The Rajasthan High Court ruled that service in one establishment cannot be counted toward eligibility for Works Committee elections in another, even under the same employer, unless the establishments are functionally integrated. This holding reinforces the establishment-specific nature of eligibility under Rule 44 of the Industrial Disputes (Central) Rules, impacting employees seeking election in multi-unit organizations.
