DOBURG LAGER BREWERIES PVT. LTD. vs DHARIWAL BOTTLE TRADING CO. & ANR.

The Supreme Court held that the High Court's interpretation of Section 3 of the Bombay Relief Undertakings (Special Provisions) Act, 1958, which required the State Government to provide a loan as a condition precedent for declaring an industrial undertaking as a 'relief undertaking', was erroneous. The Court clarified that Section 3 is not controlled by the Preamble of the Act and emphasized the Act's objective to prevent unemployment. The appeal was allowed, and the case was remanded to the High Court for consideration of other contentions.
