Out  of  these, two CGIT-cum-LCs one at Mumbai and the second at Kolkata also function as  National  Industrial  Tribunals  (NITs).  The  list  of  CGIT-cum-LCs  is  at Annexure-I.
- (b):  The number of industrial disputes received, disposed of and pending in  various  labour  courts/tribunals  during  the  last  three  years,  State/UTwise i.e. during 2013-14, 2014-15 & 2015-16 are at Annexure-II, III & IV, respectively.

In addition, the Presiding Officers of the CGIT-cum-LCs hold camp courts in various parts of the area under their jurisdiction so that workers are not required to travel long distance for disposal of their disputes.
