We have 2 units of the same company. One in Bangalore and the other in Tumkur. The total strength of workmen in both units put together is less than 100 though the units are completely distinct and is not dependent on each other in any way. They have different factory registration. We are planning to close down one of the units due to prolonged labour problems. After closure can we appoint new workmen, other than those in the closed unit in the other unit. Is this permissible in law. Pl suggest. URGENT
