Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court ruled that the Working Journalists and Other Newspaper Employees (Conditions of Service) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955, does not infringe Articles 14, 19(1)(a), and 19(1)(g) of the Constitution. The Court held that the Act is a valid legislative measure aimed at regulating the conditions of service and wage fixation for journalists and newspaper employees, and the notification accepting the recommendations of the Majithia Wage Boards was upheld. The judgment emphasized the importance of balancing the rights of employees with the financial viability of newspaper establishments.
