Abstract
This study attempts to examine the functioning of adjudicating machinery under the
Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 in West Bengal during the period from 1991 to 2015
i.e., entire post globalisation period. During the study period the mean rate of
disposal per year is 16.4% which is quite low. Again, on an average, in 34 cases per
year there are complaints regarding violation of award. If we deduct the cases of
award violation, the effective rate of disposal comes to around 13.83%. During the
same period the mean rate of award violation is 15.65% which is quite high. If the
cases where the parties preferred appeal before higher Courts are considered the
rate of disposal will fall further. The study shows that adjudication as a means of
settling industrial disputes is not serving its purpose.
