(1) On receipt of the draft under section 3, the Certifying
Officer shall forward a copy thereof to the trade union, if any, of the
workmen, or where there is no such trade union, to the workmen in such manner
as may be prescribed, together with a notice in the prescribed form requiring
objections, if any, which the workmen may desire to make to the draft standing
orders to be submitted to him within fifteen days from the receipt of the
notice.
(2) After giving the employer and the trade union or such other
representative of the workmen as may be prescribed, an opportunity of being
heard, the Certifying Officer shall decide whether or no any modification of or
addition to the draft submitted by the employer is necessary to render the
draft standing orders certifiable under this Act, and shall make an order in
writing accordingly.
(3) The Certifying Officer shall thereupon certify the draft
standing orders, after making any modification therein which his order under
sub-section (2) may require, and shall within seven days thereafter send copies
of the certified standing order authenticated in the prescribed manner and of
his order under sub-section (2) to the employer and to the trade union or other
prescribed representatives of the workmen.
