Headnote | Industrial Disputes Act, 1947-Section 20) {As amended by Industrial C Disputes (Amendment) Act, 1982}-Definition of "industry"-interpretation of-in 1978 an expansive meaning was given to the word "industry" with certain specified exceptions in the Bangalore Water Supply case-Keeping in view such judicial interpretation the word "industry" was consequently redefined by the legislature in 1982-But amended definition not brought into force for the past 23 years-Held: 'There is a requirement of re-considering where the line should be drawn and what limitations should be reasonably implied in interpreting the wide words used in S 2(j)-Compelling reasons more than one for making a reference on the interpretation of definition of "industry" in S. 2(j), to a larger Bench and for re-consideration by it, if necessary, the decision rendered in the case of Bangalore Water Supply case. On the question whether 'social forestry' department of State, which is a welfare scheme undertaken for improvement of the environment, would be covered by the definition of "industry" under S. 2(j) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, three Judges Bench of this Court in the case of Chief Conservator of Forests v. Jagannath Maruti Kondhare and two Judges Bench of this Court in the case of State of Gujarat v. Pratamsingh Narsingh Parmar culled out differently the ratio of the seven Judges Bench decision of this Court in the case of Bangalore Water Supply & Sewarage Board v. A. RajapPa. Based on that decision, the Court in the first case came to the conclusion that 'Social Forestry Department' is covered by the definition of "industry", but in the second case the Court took a different view. The present Bench of five Judges has been constituted on a reference made due to apparent conflict between the said two judgements. The word "industry" had been given an expansive meaning with certain specified exceptions in the judgement of Bangalore Water Supply & Sewarage Board. Keeping in view such judicial interpretation, the word A "industry" was redefined but the amended definition has not been brought into force for the past 23 years. The question which arose for consideration in the present matter is as to whether the amended definition, which is now a part of the statute, although not enforced, is a relevant piece of subsequent legislation which can be taken aid of to amplify or restrict the ambit of the definition of "industry" in S. 2(j) of the.Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 as it stands in its original form. |
