Supreme Court to Hear Challenge on 'Industry' Definition in Industrial Relations Code
The Supreme Court agreed to hear a petition by the All India Trade Union Congress, Tamil Nadu, challenging the Industrial Relations Code (IRC) 2020's definition of 'industry'. The petition argues that exclusions for charitable institutions, welfare organizations, and sovereign functions deny workers in these sectors access to legal protections against unfair labor practices. The union contends these exclusions violate constitutional rights including equality and access to justice. The court will examine whether the IRC's definition meets legal standards and constitutional requirements.
