Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Explanation
Under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, a "workman" is defined as any person (including an apprentice) employed in any industry to do any manual, unskilled, skilled, technical, operational, clerical, or supervisory work for hire or reward.
However, the definition specifically excludes certain categories of persons:
- Persons employed mainly in a managerial or administrative capacity (Statement 1 is incorrect).
- Persons employed in the police service or as an officer or other employee of a prison (Statement 3 is incorrect).
- Persons subject to the Air Force Act, 1950, the Army Act, 1950, or the Navy Act, 1957.
- Persons employed in a supervisory capacity drawing wages exceeding ₹10,000 per month or exercising managerial functions.
Since technical work (Statement 2) and operational work (Statement 4) are explicitly included in the statutory definition, the correct answer is 2 and 4 only.
