Coir Board, Ernakulam Cochin & Anr vs Indira Devi P.S. & Ors on 4 March, 1992
It is, therefore, evident that the only basis for the respondent in not following the procedure prescribed under Section 25-F of the Act is their assumption that the question as to whether the Coir Board is an industry or not, is under consideration before a larger Bench. Now that it has emerged that the Supreme Court had declined to reconsider the judgment in Bangalore Water Supply case (supra) and an indication was given in Coir Board, Ernakulam, Cochin case (supra), that the parameters stipulated in the Bangalore Water Supply case (supra), would bring Coir Board within the definition of 'Industry' and the respondent is under obligation to follow the procedure prescribed under Section 25-F of the Act.
