Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the constitutional validity of Section 1(3) of the Employees State Insurance Act, 1948, ruling that it does not constitute excessive delegation but rather conditional legislation. The Court emphasized that the Central Government's discretion to issue notifications regarding the implementation of the Act is necessary for practical administration, especially in a phased manner. The High Court's dismissal of the appellants' writ petitions was affirmed, confirming that the Act provides sufficient guidance for its application.
