Suspension, in the context of labour law, typically refers to a temporary removal of an employee from duty, often as a disciplinary measure pending an inquiry or as a punishment. Termination of service as a result of non-renewal of a contract of employment is generally distinct from suspension; it is simply the cessation of the employment relationship upon the expiry or non-renewal of the fixed-term contract, or potentially considered retrenchment depending on the specific circumstances and law. The provided definition for Suspension is therefore incorrect.

– Lockout: Temporary closing of workplace by employer (correct definition).
– Lay off: Employer’s inability/refusal to give employment due to specific reasons like shortage of material, power, etc. (correct definition).
– Suspension: Temporary removal from duty (incorrectly defined in option C).
– Closure: Permanent closing down of workplace (correct definition).

These terms are defined and regulated under various labour laws in India, such as the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Understanding the precise legal definitions is crucial for interpreting labour relations and disputes.
