 Well my dear students, the course is Labour Policy Pakistan and the topic in hand is section 43 and 44 of the Industrial Relations Act 2012. Section 43 relates with strikes and lockouts when declared illegal. Section 43 subsection 1, a strike or lockout shall be illegal if it is declared, commenced or continued without giving to the other party to the dispute in the prescribed manner. A notice of strike or lockout or before the date of strike or lockout specified in such notice or in contravention of section 46. A strike or lockout is illegal if it is being done and the other party who has a dispute with it is not given a notice of strike or lockout. A strike or lockout shall be illegal if it is declared, commenced or continued in consequence of an industrial dispute raised in a manner other than that provided in section 34. A strike or lockout be illegal if it is continued in contravention of an order made under section 42, section 45 or section 61 or subsection 6 of section 44. My dear students, a strike or lockout shall be illegal if it is declared, commenced or continued during the period in which a settlement or award is in operation in respect of any of the matters covered by a settlement or award. My dear students, the subsection 2 says that a lockout declared in consequence of an illegal strike and a strike declared in consequence of an illegal lockout shall not be deemed to be illegal. Now let's move on to discuss section 44. What is section 44? Section 44 relates with procedure in cases of illegal strikes or lockout. Notwithstanding anything contained in any other provision of this act or in any other law for the time being in force. This is a great sentence and a great phraseology. The word used here is notwithstanding anything contained in any other provision of this act. This means that the provision of section 44 will prevail. Section 44 is the most powerful law regarding procedure in cases of illegal strikes or lockouts. Notwithstanding, if you want to understand this term more elaborately, consult the Black Slaw Dictionary. Notwithstanding, anything contained in any other provision of this act or in any other law for the time being in force. An officer of the commission. An officer of the commission, Sibaradha National Industrial Relations Commission. Officer of the commission not below the rank of deputy registrar Hain is after. In this section referred to as the officer may be signed by the commission the duty to make inquiries in such manner as he may deem fit into an illegal strike or illegal lockout in an establishment and make a report to the commission. This means that if there is an illegal strike or illegal lockout then the industrial relations commission will appoint an officer of the deputy registrar and make a report to the commission. The officer may for the purpose of inquiry under subsection 1 enter with such assistance by the persons in the service of Pakistan as he thinks fit in an establishment where he has reason to believe an illegal strike or lockout to be in progress and make such examination of the premises and plant and of any registers maintained therein. Therein Sibaradha was Jagapur and take on the spot or otherwise such evidence of persons and exercise such other powers as he may deem necessary for carrying out the purposes of this section. Hope you have understood this topic. Thank you very much indeed.
