STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs GANESHI LAL

The Supreme Court held that the Law Department cannot be classified as an 'industry' under Section 2(s) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court emphasized that for a department to be considered an industry, it must engage in activities that meet the statutory definition, which the Law Department does not. Consequently, the Court overturned the decisions of the Labour Court and the Rajasthan High Court, ruling that the termination of the respondent's services was valid and lawful.
