Labour and Industrial Laws

.............................................................................................................................
Description
With all humility, the 16th edition of this humble work of learning is released. Stronger labour laws are a felt need to prevent or atleast minimise the violation of human rights. It is reported that only about six per cent of the population is engaged in the organised sector and that the bulk of 94% is in the unorganised sector. The latest relevant judicial decisions and legislative amendments are incorporated in this edition. As in the previous 15th edition it is cherished, this edition also  will be received by the enlightened readers. The author owes much gratification to the readers and the Allahabad Law Agency.
