MINISTER OF THE STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR AND EMPLOYMENT (SHRI HARISH RAWAT)
(a): Orders passed by Central Government Industrial Tribunals(CGIT)/ Labour Courts are notified in the
official gazette and are binding on the employers. In majority of cases, the employers implement the
orders of the Labour Courts. However, in case an Award is not implemented, the worker can approach the
Labour Department of the appropriate Government for implementation of the Award. The implementing
authority after following due process of law prosecutes the employers under section 29 of the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for not implementing the Award/Order of the CGIT/ Labour Court.
(b) & (c): There is no such provision requiring Courts to be apprised of the follow up action taken by the
employers.
