Dinesh Kumar vs M/S Atma Nand Jain Sabha on 21 March, 2025
I have carefully gone
through the judgment of Hon'ble Rajasthan High Court in
Pushkar Lal's case (supra), wherein, Hon'ble Rajasthan High
Court has quoted with approval observation of Hon'ble Delhi
High Court in Sai Bhakta Samaj Vs. Durga Prasad: WP(C)
3731/04 decided on 11.09.2006 to the effect that pooja by
Pujari is application of his knowledge of religious hymens and
bhajans and aarties which he has to recite in temple and the
same cannot be considered to be work as specified in Section
2(s) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 by any stretch of
imagination and hence, Pujari cannot be considered to be
Workman within the meaning of Section 2(s) of Industrial
Disputes Act, 1947.
