Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Under Section 62(2) of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020 (formerly Section 22(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, which applied only to public utility services), no employer of an industrial establishment shall lock-out any of his workers: (a) without giving them notice of lock-out within sixty days before locking-out (A); (b) within fourteen days of giving such notice (B); (c) before the expiry of the date of lock-out specified in the notice (C); (d) during the pendency of any conciliation proceedings before a conciliation officer and seven days (a week) after their conclusion (D); (e) during the pendency of proceedings before a Tribunal or National Industrial Tribunal and sixty days after their conclusion; (f) during the pendency of arbitration proceedings notified under Section 42(5) and sixty days after their conclusion; or (g) while a settlement or award is in operation on the matters it covers. Proceedings before a Grievance Redressal Committee (E) are not among these grounds, making 'A, B, C, D only' correct.
