Thank you for uploading the Industrial Disputes Amendment Act, 2010. From the notification related to this, it appears that there are only changes made in the central Act, not with regard to any specific West Bengal amendments, if any. If there are any amendments related to West Bengal, please inform and upload the same.

I would like to know if a worker who is terminated prior to 15/9/2010 can approach the labor court directly, since by this time he has completed 45 days. Furthermore, can he file directly? Someone guide me.
