With no referral text books available to simplify the newly introduced subject Labour Law And Industrial Relations-Code 1, thousands of first-year law students, of 5-year and 3-year LLB courses of Mumbai University, are confused and worried about their upcoming first semester examination, proposed to start from January 17, 2024.

Though the time table has not been issued by Mumbai University, labour law is said to be the first paper and the students have to refer to bare acts, which the teaching faculties claim are not easy to understand. According to the teaching faculties, unlike text books, bare acts do not simplify the codes and text books contain explanations and illustrations, with likely questions to practice.
