I work in a manufacturing organization where we have 8 unions. On union called Employees union was led by a senior trade union leader. The union has built its office with the funds of the union members and the union leader use to live in the first floor of the building. Suddenly the union leader died. The union its general secretary as president of the union. slowly there are differences in the union and there was a split. One lead by the newly elected president and another by former leaders son. The former union leader son lives in the union building. He did not vacate it from this fathers death. Some Union members insisting to vacate the building and some support them not to vacate. Now the question is:
1) Which court has the jurisdiction to deal with this matter? Labour Court or the Civil Court?
2) Which union should we recognize after its split? both are representing in the same union name and registration number?
3) What action can management take?

Eviction cae can lie in civil court as it is not employee employe dispute.
