The book also covers malafides of employers in labour and industrial cases. It gives the remedies that an aggrieved person can resort to under the law. Law, in the book, is stated not only in terms of propositions but at times explained for better comprehension by giving the factual setting in which it has been developed and applied. The book deals with the topic in question in a manner that is unique. While Indian cases are comprehensively covered, English and some other foreign rulings which have been accepted by Courts in India as laying down the correct law, have also been included. The learned author has divided the book into 22 chapters. It is novel in character, and the treatment by the author makes the subject palatable even to the ordinary layman.
