STATE OF RAJASTHAN vs SURENDRA PRATAP GAUR — C.A. No. 1225/2001

Summary: State of Rajasthan v. Surendra Pratap Gaur On 12 February 2001, the Supreme Court granted special leave and allowed the State of Rajasthan's appeal, setting aside both the Single Judge's and Division Bench's orders. The Court found that a critical issue—whether the respondent was employed in an industry—had not been addressed despite being raised before the Single Judge. The case involved whether Gaur worked at "Rang Manch," described as a facility exhibiting documentary films about government achievements, which the State contended was not an industry. The High Court was directed to decide Civil Writ Petition No. 5304 of 1999 afresh, determining whether the respondent was employed in an industry.
