Judicial Intervention in the Contract of Employment: Some Reflections on Labour Adjudication in India.

The industrial dispute act 1947, provides the basis for settling disputes that may arise between employers and employees. According to the act if concerned parties are unable to resolve the dispute, they have several options open to them.

The more common option is to initiate a process called conciliation.
