BHARAT BHAWAN TRUST vs BHARAT BHAWAN ARTISTS ASSOCN.&ANR

The Supreme Court upheld the Labour Court's decision that Bharat Bhawan Trust qualifies as an 'industry' under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, and that the artists involved are 'workmen'. The Court referenced the expansive definitions of 'industry' and 'workman' established in Bangalore Water Supply & Sewerage Board vs. A. Rajappa, 1978 (2) SCC 213, affirming that the Trust's activities, despite being artistic, fall within the ambit of industrial relations. The appeal challenging the Labour Court's ruling was dismissed, confirming the artists' rights to seek redress under the Act.
