Because the Act creates a mandatory scheme for certification, modification, publication, enforcement, and dispute resolution, parties cannot bypass it through a private service contract on matters covered by the standing orders. A contractual term inconsistent with certified standing orders is ineffective, and such a bargain was also treated as falling within Section 23 of the Indian Contract Act, 1872. The HC therefore held that the standing orders prevail over the conflicting contract term. en-us Thu, 25 Jan 1968 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 11 Mar 2021 18:34:25 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=293959 Certified standing orders under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act, 1946 operate as statutory terms of employment binding on both employer and workmen.
