Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision declaring Sections 47(3) and 47(4) of the Andhra Pradesh Shops & Establishments Act, 1988 unconstitutional, finding them violative of Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India. The Court established that these provisions were discriminatory and imposed unreasonable restrictions on the rights of the business entities. Consequently, the appeal by the Union of employees was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
