No.11040 of 1999 is against an award rejecting the<\/p>\n<p>relief sought by the workman that he had been illegally terminated<\/p>\n<p>on the ground that Soil Conservation Office in which the workman<\/p>\n<p>was working, although was established under the Agriculture<\/p>\n<p>Department of the Punjab State, was not an &#8220;industry&#8221;. In C.W.P.<\/p>\n<p>No.5043 of 2000, a reference sought by the workman was rejected at<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\"> C.W.P. No.11040 of 1999                                     -2-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>the threshold without undertaking any further enquiry that<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture Department would not come within the ambit of the<\/p>\n<p>definition &#8216;industry&#8217; under the Industrial Disputes Act. The challenge<\/p>\n<p>is by another workman who, as petitioner in C.W.P. No.11040 of<\/p>\n<p>1999 contends that it is an &#8220;industry&#8221;. The officer who had been<\/p>\n<p>examined on the side of the State had given evidence to the effect<\/p>\n<p>that the Department supplies medicines, fertilizer and agricultural<\/p>\n<p>implements to the farmers without any profit and in certain cases<\/p>\n<p>pesticides are supplied to the farmers with subsidy varying from 50%<\/p>\n<p>to 75%. The evidence was also that the Department does not carry<\/p>\n<p>out any research on diseases in the agriculture crops but renders only<\/p>\n<p>advice as to how to get rid of such diseases, without any<\/p>\n<p>remuneration. It was also in evidence that the Department of<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture issued licence to the shop keepers for the sale of<\/p>\n<p>pesticides\/fertilizers for which licence fee was charged. Relying on<\/p>\n<p>the decision of this Hon&#8217;ble Court in State of Punjab Vs. Sukhdev<\/p>\n<p>Singh decided in C.W.P. No.8878 of 1993 on 18.11.1993, it held<\/p>\n<p>that Agriculture Department was not an industry within the meaning<\/p>\n<p>of Section 2(j) of the Industrial Disputes Act.<\/p>\n<p>2.        Surprisingly, in C.W.P. No.11040 of 1999, there was not<\/p>\n<p>even a plea or evidence that the Agriculture Department was not an<\/p>\n<p>industry and the Labour Court proceeded to give a finding against<\/p>\n<p>the workman even in the absence of a specific issue to that effect. In<\/p>\n<p>C.W.P. No.5040 of 2000, there had been such an issue and by a<\/p>\n<p>reference to the judgment of this Court referred to above, it was held<\/p>\n<p>to be an &#8220;industry&#8221;.

No.11040 of 1999                                        -3-<\/span><\/p>\n<p>organization, unit or department is an industry shall be by examining<\/p>\n<p>whether there is a systematic activity which is carried on. It is<\/p>\n<p>irrelevant that there is no commercial motive for the same. The<\/p>\n<p>distribution of medicines, fertilizers, agricultural implements and<\/p>\n<p>pesticides which the Agriculture Department of the Government<\/p>\n<p>engages in for improving productivity in the agriculture sector and<\/p>\n<p>for fostering the needs of the agriculturists shall be seen as an<\/p>\n<p>activity that shall answer the definition made under Section 2(j) of<\/p>\n<p>the Industrial Disputes Act. Section 2(j) defines industry to mean<\/p>\n<p>any business, trade, undertaking, manufacture or calling of<\/p>\n<p>employers or includes any calling service implement incorporation or<\/p>\n<p>industrial occupation avocation of workman. An expansive meaning<\/p>\n<p>to the definition of industry was given by the Hon&#8217;ble Supreme Court<\/p>\n<p>in Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board Vs. A. Rajappa<\/p>\n<p>and others 1978 LIC 467. It is too late in the day to contend that the<\/p>\n<p>Agriculture Department that engages itself in distribution of seeds<\/p>\n<p>and pesticides, among other activities, could be denied the status of<\/p>\n<p>an industry and defeat the right of persons, who were working in<\/p>\n<p>their capacity as workmen, to secure redress through the mechanism<\/p>\n<p>provided under the Industrial Disputes Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>3.        In C.W.P. No.11040 of 1999, the Labour Court has found<\/p>\n<p>that the workman had completed 240 days of continuous service but<\/p>\n<p>still did not give any relief by the fact that the Presiding Officer held<\/p>\n<p>that the Department where he was working was not an industry. In<\/p>\n<p>the other case namely C.W.P. No.5043 of 2000, the reference itself<\/p>\n<p>had been rejected without undertaking any enquiry.
