This document discusses numerous court cases that have examined whether various government departments and organizations can be considered "industries" as defined by Indian labor laws. The key takeaways are:
1. Courts have found that activities like irrigation works, forestry works, radio/TV broadcasting can be considered industries if they involve substantial commercial activities or the nature of work is not a core sovereign function.
2. However, activities like administering temples, relief work during disasters, district development programs are generally not considered industries.
3. The Supreme Court has laid out tests for what constitutes an industry, focusing on whether the activity involves organized, systematic work and commercial operations rather than core sovereign functions of governance.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

issued by the Ministry of Defence. Held: merely because it is a Military Department

the establishment does not cease to be an industry if it is severable from the other unit.
5. Similar View was taken in:
• UOI vs Presiding Officer Central Government Industrial Tribunal and
Others MP HC 1995
• The learned Judge has considered the definition of "industry" and held that the definition is
of very wide import and should be interpreted in a manner so as not to whittle down but to
advance the object of the Act and came to the conclusion that the Engineers Store Depot was
a defence establishment under the Ministry of Defence and manufactured nuts, bolts,
brackets, etc for running repairs and its functions related primarily to the holding and

an industry.

• "... Sovereign functions, strictly understood, (alone) qualify for exemption, not
the welfare activities or economic adventures undertaken by Government or
statutory bodies..." Even in departments discharging sovereign functions, if there
are units which are industries and they are substantially severable, then they can
be considered to come within Section 2(j)..."

the Government is an industry as tolls and taxes are collected over the
bridges constructed by the Highways Divison.

• giving legal aid and legal advice, are functions which any private person can
and may undertake. They are not inalienable functions of the Government
necessary for governance. Those functions may help to secure justice. But by
exercise of those functions the Board does not
10. administer justice. Functions which help to secure justice are not functions constituting
administration of justice. Those functions of the Board are, therefore, in no sense,
sovereign functions, or even instance of exercise of sovereign functions delegated to
the Board by the Government The Board cannot, therefore, justly claim exemption
from the scope of the definition of 'industry' on that score. Para 16

meaning of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947
• The dispute between the management of Shri Jagannath Temple,
Puri, and the petitioners who claim to be workmen represented by
Jagannath Temple Employees Union is over the arrears of salary
which the management refused to pay the petitioners. The
petitioners' Union raised the matter before the Assistant Labour
Commissioner for conciliation which ultimately failed. Thereafter in
due course the petitioners moved the State Government for referring
the dispute for adjudication.
13. • The State Government by their Order dated April 14, 1964 decided that there
is no case for reference of the dispute for adjudication since, according to the
Government, the dispute between the management of Puri Jagannath Temple
and its workmen does not come within the purview of the Industrial Disputes
Act, 1947. It is this order which the petitioners challenge in this writ petition
and pray for a decision on the State of Orissa to refer the dispute for
adjudication under Section 10 of the Act.

did not form an industry under Section 2(j).
