How can temples be classified as 'industry', asks Tamil Nadu board in SC

NEW DELHI: Tamil Nadu Hindu Religious & Charitable Endowments Commissioner Wednesday questioned the definition of ‘industry’ settled by Supreme Court in 1978, saying how it can cover temples when most of them are maintained from surplus money generated from donations to a few of them, reports Dhananjay Mahapatra.Appearing for the body which oversees administration, management and maintenance of Hindu institutions, temples and charitable endowments in TN, senior advocate Jaideep Gupta told a nine-judge bench led by CJI Surya Kant that activities in temples have nothing to do with industrial activity or disputes covered under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.Gupta said industry must comprise a unit where the employer and employees collaborate to produce something for human needs and it must have a commercial character or profit motive.
