Answer and explanation

Correct answer: C - Only 1, 3 and 4
Under the former Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (repealed on 21 November 2025 by the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, which replaced Labour Courts with Industrial Tribunals), the Second Schedule (Labour Court) covered withdrawal of any customary concession or privilege, whereas rules of discipline, leave with wages and holidays, and hours of work and rest intervals were Third Schedule (Industrial Tribunal) matters. Thus, only 1, 3 and 4 did not fall within the Labour Court's jurisdiction.
