Bangalore Water-Supply & Sewerage ... vs R. Rajappa & Others on 21 February, 1978
14. The contention that the issue raised with
regard to 'industry' as held in Rajappa's case [supra]
has been referred to a larger bench and therefore, to hold
that the appellant is an industry is not tenable in the eye
of law, cannot be accepted as it is a settled law that mere
pendency of a reference to a larger bench does not mean
that all other proceedings involving the same issue would
remain stayed till a decision was rendered in a reference.
