Which one of the following is a condition precedent for appointment as the presiding officer of a labour court under Section 7 of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 ?
Explanation
Under Section 7(3) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (as amended by the Industrial Disputes (Amendment) Act, 2010), a person is qualified for appointment as the presiding officer of a Labour Court if they meet any of the following conditions:
- They are, or have been, a Judge of a High Court; or
- They have been a District Judge or an Additional District Judge for a period of not less than 3 years; or
- They have held any judicial office in India for not less than 7 years; or
- They have been the presiding officer of a Labour Court (under a State/Provincial Act) for not less than 5 years; or
- They have held office in the Indian Legal Service and have been a member of Grade III of that Service for at least 3 years.
Option D matches the statutory "3 years" and "Grade III" requirement, despite the common terminology error of "Judicial" for "Legal" service. Other options provide incorrect timeframes compared to the statutory minimums.
