Absolutely not. Mine is a factory manufacturing different engg. parts. I was clarified that Sec. 25-N is applicable to my own factory employees not to the contract undertaking which I employed in my factory. My manpower contractor's establishment does not fall within the three classifications Factory, Mine or Plantation.Therefore, I put forward my query once again if it is not applicable what's the procedure for retrenchment he has to follow statutorily under ID Act as ID act covered contract establishment also? Or if the advise given to me was wrong and the contractor has to go for prior permission from the Government? Pl.advise.
