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, as they were found to be discriminatory and violative of Articles 14 and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution of India. The Court emphasized that the provisions imposed unreasonable restrictions on the rights of the business entities, thus infringing upon their right to carry on trade and business. The appeal by the Union of employees was dismissed, affirming the High Court's ruling.
