C.V. RAMAN, ETC. vs MANAGEMENT OF BANK OF INDIA AND ANOTHER, ETC.

The Madras High Court ruled that the Tamil Nadu Shops and Establishments Act, 1947, specifically Section 4(1)(c), exempts establishments under the Central Government, including the Bank of India, from its provisions. The court held that the Appellate Authority's decision to consider the preliminary objection regarding the applicability of the Act alongside the merits of the appeal was valid. Consequently, the writ appeals were dismissed, affirming the earlier ruling that the Tamil Nadu Shops Act did not apply to the Bank.
