P.L. Malik's Handbook of Labour and Industrial Law (Pocket Edn.)

The edition of this very popular handbook on labour and industrial law has been thoroughly revised and updated. This current handy single volume contains a comprehensive coverage of over 43 important legislations that are essential for the functioning of an Industrial Undertaking.

The present work has been painstakingly updated to include all recent case law and the amendments introduced to various statutes after the release of the last edition. All the enactments on the subject along with important case law under different sections of the statutes are included.

The expanse of the publication has been increased by including two new Acts, Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 and Provident Funds Act, 1925. A detailed subject index at the end of the book facilitates the reader's search of law on the topic of his interest.
