Supervision - Definition - Law Dictionary Home Dictionary Definition supervision

Definition :

Supervision, supervise in the ordinary dictional sense 'to supervise' means to direct or over-see the performance or operation of an activity and to over-see it, watch over and direct. It is work under eye and gaze of someone who can immediately direct a corrective and tender advice. In the textual sense 'supervision' of the principal employer or his agent is on work at the places envisaged and the word work can neither be construed so broadly to be the final act of acceptance or rejection work, nor so narrowly so as to be supervision at all times and at each and every step of the work, C.E.S.C.
