Ruth Soren vs Managing Committee, East I.S.S.D.A. & ...

The Supreme Court held that the Labour Court has jurisdiction to interfere with the termination of services under Section 26(2) of the Bihar Shops & Establishments Act, 1953, as educational institutions can be classified as establishments under the Act. The Court distinguished between educational institutions and businesses, affirming that the provision of education constitutes an industry. The High Court's ruling that the Labour Court lacked jurisdiction was overturned, thereby reinstating the appellant's service with back wages.
