:?:Recently, due to some strategic reason, we have to change our company's name.
Accordingly, we have to change our standing order's name in line with the company's name.
What is right procedure to change without any interference of unio / workmen.

Change of name of the company itself demands change in the standing orders. Standing orders can be amended only with the consent of the trade union. Therefore, it is better to send a communication of the board resolution calling for change of company name and then initiate amendment of standing orders.

The company name has been changed long back, in view of that union is not willing to accept the old standing order and creating problem at the time of taking legal action to the workmen. At present an IR dispute case is pending against union with Industrial Tribunal.
Under the circumstances , please guide us whether the old standing order is valid or not.

From your post it is not clear whether or not the old standing order was amended in consultation with employees. If the same had taken place then the new one will prevail and the old standing order will not have any legal significance.

We have changed the name of the company only. No amendment was made after changing the company's name in line with standing order. Still, standing order is in old company's name. The old one was made with the consultation with the employees and union.

Dear Ranjan kumar,

Your first question is very simple. First,Consequent on the name-change of the company you want to carry out that change in the title of the Standing Orders certified already before the name-change took place. Well; you could have done it soon after the change.. Anyway, better late than never.Standing Orders can be amended any time in respect of the matters enumerated in the schedule u/s 10 of the Standing Orders Act,1946.But, the only important condition is a period of 6 months should hve been elapsed either from the initial certification or since the last amendment; otherwise the consent of the workmen in the form of an agreement is essential.Since, the amendment you propose is relating only to the change of title as per the change of name of the establishment and not connected with any other matters already certified, you need not worry about the objection, if any likely to be raised by the workmen or union. Second, any action taken under the provisions of the existing Standing Orders can not be questioned because of the name-change of the Company for no change has taken place in the employer or employees or certified service conditions. Because of a cosmetic change, the certified Standing Orders will not become functous officio.
