Q145 (CISF/2024) Polity & Governance › Governance, Policies & Social Justice

Which one among the following amounts to retrenchment?

Explanation

Under Section 2(oo) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, "retrenchment" is defined as the termination by the employer of the service of a workman for any reason whatsoever, otherwise than as a punishment inflicted by way of disciplinary action.

The statutory definition specifically excludes the following scenarios:

  • Voluntary retirement of the workman.
  • Retirement of the workman on reaching the age of superannuation (Option A).
  • Termination of service as a result of the non-renewal of the contract of employment (Option B).
  • Termination on the ground of continued ill-health.

Since Option D describes termination as a punishment (disciplinary action), it is explicitly excluded from the definition. Therefore, Option C is the only choice that aligns with the core legal definition of retrenchment as established by the Act and interpreted by the Supreme Court (e.g., in State Bank of India v. N. Sundara Money).
