before the transfer or re-employment;
(b) the employer in relation to the body corporate, the co-operative society or the undertaking
where the workman transferred or re-employed is, by agreement or otherwise, legally liable to pay to
the workman, in the event of his retrenchment, compensation under section 25F, 25FF or 25FFF of
the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947) on the basis that his service has been continuous and
