MOHMEDALLI AND OTHERS vs UNION OF INDIA AND ANOTHER

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of the Employees’ Provident Funds Act, 1952, specifically sections 1(3)(b), 16, and 17, against challenges of excessive delegation and discrimination under Article 14 of the Constitution. The Court ruled that the Act applies to all establishments without distinction between wages and salaries, affirming that the power given to the Central Government to notify establishments was not uncontrolled. The petitioners' claims of discrimination were rejected as the Act was found to apply uniformly, with specific exemptions not constituting discrimination.
