• A. Decree
• B. Judgment
• C. Award
• D. Order

Hint:

An Award under the Industrial Disputes Act is a key resolution tool for labor issues.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

To determine the term for a Labour Court's verdict in an industrial dispute:
1. Under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, the decision or verdict of a Labour Court or Tribunal in an industrial dispute is termed an "Award."
2. A decree applies to civil courts, a judgment is a general court decision, and an order is a directive, none of which specifically denote a Labour Court’s industrial dispute resolution.
3. The term "Award" is legally binding and enforceable in this context.
Therefore, the correct answer is (3) Award.
