The Court ruled that the character of the activity, not the operator's identity or profit motive, determines whether an enterprise qualifies as an undertaking.

The appeal was dismissed with costs. en-us Fri, 29 Jan 1960 00:00:00 +0530 Thu, 10 Jul 2025 11:41:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=171488 The SC held that government-run hospitals constitute an "undertaking" under Section 2(j) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, making them subject to the Act's provisions including Section 25F termination requirements.
