On that basis, section 34A of the Banking Companies Act, 1949 was treated as a permissible regulation preserving banking credit structure and leaving industrial adjudication intact, so the Article 19(1)(c) challenge failed. The provision also survived Article 14 review because the classification was linked to the special character of banking, public confidence, and credit stability, and the Reserve Bank's different role was found to be a rational distinction. The constitutional challenge therefore failed on both grounds. en-us Mon, 28 Aug 1961 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 14 May 2020 12:38:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=170308 Article 19(1)(c) protects the freedom to form associations or unions, but it does not create a separate constitutional right to secure all union objectives, including collective bargaining or strike-related demands.
