ISSUE:
Whether Section 25-C recognises a common right of the industrial employer to lay off his workmen?
RULE:
Section 25C of the Industrial Disputes Act does not recognize the inherent right of the employer to declare lay-off for reasons which he may regard as sufficient or satisfactory.
The provision outlines only the right of workmen to receive compensation if laid off for specific reasons as defined in Section 2(kkk).
