H.K. Makwana vs State Of Gujarat And Ors. on 8 April, 1994
4.1 The bone contention of the petitioner that scarcity relief
work undertaken by the State Authorities can not be termed to
be an 'industry' within the meaning of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947, is well founded. Further, the decision of the Full
Bench of this Court in the case of H.K. Makwana versus State
of Gujarat reported in 1994(2) GLR 1002 will also apply with
full force in this fact situation. The petition therefore needs to
be allowed on this bone contention.
