PARADIP PORT TRUST, PARADIP V. THEIR WORKMEN (9 September 1976)
CITATION: 1977 AIR 36 1977 SCR (1) 537 1977 SCC (2) 337
The definition of employer under section 2(g), which is a purposive but not an exhaustive definition, shows that an industrial dispute can be raised in relation to an industry carried on even by the Government and by local authorities. It need not be added that industry is also carried on by private owners, private companies and partnerships. Employers and workmen will, therefore, be drawn from numerous sources.
