Apprentice
Apprentice [fr. apprendre, Fr., to learn], a person bound by indentures of apprenticeship to a tradesman or artificer ,who covenants to teach him his trade or mystery. The master is bound to instruct his apprentice, and to make him master of the art so far as his capacity to learn will permit. If the master die, or become bankrupt, or abandon the trade, the obligation of the apprentice is at an end. Conversely, that the apprentice has done anything incompatible with faithful service, is a just cause of dismissal, Pearce v. Foster, (1886) 17 QBD 536 CA, and see Learoyd v. Brooks, 1891 (1) QB 431. An infant can bind himself by a deed of apprenticeship, Green v. Thompson, 1899 (2) QB 1.

Employment
Employment, the word 'employment' is not a word with a single fixed meaning but it has many connotations. On the one side it may bear the narrow meaning of relationship of employer and employee and on the other, it may mean in its widest connotation any engagement or any work in which one is engaged. If the former be the sense in which the word 'employment' is used in clause (d) of Article 319, the office of Governor would certainly not be an employment, because the Governor of a State is not an employee or servant of anyone, Hargovind Pant v. Dr. Raghukul Tilak, (1979) 3 SCC 458: (1979) 3 SCR 972.The word 'employment' must be construed as emp-loyment in the regular course of business of the establishment. Such employment obviously would not include employment of a few persons for a short period on account of some passing necessity or some temporary emergency beyond the control of the company, P.F. Inspector v. T.S. Hariharan, AIR 1971 SC 1519 (1524): (1971) 2 SCC 68.The concept of emp...
