Clause / sub-rule explanation

Clause (1)

(1) The State Government may, either on its own motion or on the application made by the employer or any worker, review its order granting or refusing to grant permission under sub-section (3) of section 79.

This clause confers a power or discretion rather than an automatic entitlement. Record the competent authority, trigger and any conditions attached to exercise of that power.

Clause (2)

(2) The employer or any worker concerned, along with the order referred to in sub-rule (1), may make an application, within thirty days from the date on which the order is made, to the State Government for reviewing the order and the State Government shall within two months from the date on which the application is made dispose of the application after providing the concerned parties an opportunity of being heard.

This is framed as a mandatory requirement. Identify the person on whom “shall” operates, the required act/document and the stated deadline or condition before treating compliance as complete.

Clause (3)

(3) Where the State Government takes step, to review the order referred to in sub-section (1), on its own motion, it may take such step within one month from the date on which the order is made and after providing the concerned parties the opportunity of being heard dispose of such review within two months from the date on which such step is taken.
