Closure. See CLOTURE. Means the permanent closing down of a place of employment or part thereof.

That question must be put forthwith, without amendment or debate, unless it appears to the chair that the motion is an abuse of the Rules of the House or an infringement of the rights of minority, Parliamentary Practice, Erskine May, 22nd Edn., 1997, p. 407.Means closing, closed condition, Concise Oxford Dictionary, H.W. Fowler & F.G. Fowler, p. 226.In Indian Parliament in order to bring a debate to a close, a member may rise and move 'That the question be now put'. The acceptance of a closure motion lies within the sole discretion of the Speaker.

The closure of the place of business and not itself
The closure of the place of business and not itself, the distinction between a lockout and a closure has been explained by the decision of this Court in the Management of Express Newspapers Ltd. v. Workers and Staff employed under it, AIR 1963 SC 569: (1963) 3 SCR 540. It was pointed out in that case that in the case of a closure the employer does not merely close down the place of business but he closes the business itself finally and irrevocably. A lock-out on the other hand indicates the closure of the place of business and not closure of the business itself. It is now well-established that in the case of a closure the employer does not merely close down the place of business but he closes the business finally and irrevocably, Tatanagar Foundry Co. Ltd. v. Their Workmen, AIR 1970 SC 1960: (1969) 3 SCC 464: (1970) 3 SCR 8....

Retrenchment
Retrenchment, in its ordinary connotation is discharge of labour as surplus though the business or work itself is continued, S.M. Nilajkar v. Telecom District Manager, (2003) 4 SCC 27.Means the termination by the employer of the service of a workman for any reason whatsoever, otherwise than as a punishment inflicted by way of disciplinary action but does not include--(a) voluntary retirement of the workman; or(b) retirement of the workman on reaching the age of superannuation if the contract of employment between the employer and the workman concerned contains a stipulation in that behalf; or(bb) termination of the service of the workman as a result of the non-renewal of the contract of employment between the employer and the workman concerned on its expiry or of such contract being terminated under a stipulation in that behalf contained therein; or(c) termination of the service of a workman on the ground of continued ill-health. [Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947), s. 2 (oo)]T...
Discharge
Discharge, to relieve of a duty. A sheriff is said to be discharged of his prisoner; a prisoner discharged from custody; a jury discharged from the cause. See next title.A rule nisi is discharged when the Court decides that it shall not be made absolute, i.e., that the party who obtained the rule nisi should take nothing, and the suit remain in statu quo. See RULE.In a warrant case instituted otherwise than on a police report, 'discharge' or 'acquittal' of accused are distinct concepts applicable to different stages of the proceedings in Court. The legal effect and incidents of 'discharge' and 'acquittal' are also different. An order of discharge in a warrant case instituted on complaint, can be made only after the process has been issued and before the charge is framed. S. 253(1) shows that as a general rule there can be no order of discharge unless the evidence of all the prosecution witnesses has been taken and the Magistrate considers for reasons to be recorded, in the light of the...
Same and similar
Same and similar, although the word same is frequently used in the sense of similar, the word similar never means 'same', AIR 1956 Punj 49 (55). (Partnership Act, 1932, s. 54)The two words 'same' and 'similar' connote different concepts and therefore the carrying of a similar business will not meet the requirements of the section. If one business cannot be conveniently carried on after the closure of the other, there would be a strong indication that the two businesses constituted the 'same business' but, no decisive inference could be drawn from the fact that after the closure of one business another may conveniently be carried on. The real test would be: was there any inter-connection, any interlacing, any inter-dependence, any unity at all embracing those two businesses. Such inter-connection, inter-relation, inter-dependence and unity exist when there is common management, common business organisation, common administration, common fund and a common place of business, B.R. Limited ...
