Section 25-O Industrial Disputes Act | Factory Closure Valid Below 100-Worker Threshold Despite Voluntary Resignations : Bombay HC
Bombay HC rules that Chapter V-B of the Industrial Disputes Act does not apply to factories with fewer than 100 workers, even if closures involve voluntary resignations under settlements. The ruling clarifies that statutory protections for closure are inapplicable below the threshold, shielding employers from unfair labour practice claims.
