Court: Kolkata

Decided on: Aug-03-1993

Reported in: (1994)1CALLT367(HC),(1994)IILLJ575Cal

A.M. Bhattacharjee, C.J. 1. I have gone through the judgment prepared by Bataybal, J. appearing hereinafter. For the reasons stated in the judgement, I agree that the appeals are to be allowed and the writ petition giving rise to these two appeals is to be dismissed.2. The right to form association or union is a fundamental right guaranteed by Article 19(1)(c) of the Constitution. If the union is a union of workers, a recognition of the union by the employers would obviously facilitate the activities of such a trade union. But every activity which facilitates the exercise of a fundamental right specifically guaranteed by the Constitution is not necessarily comprehended in that fundamental right. Even if it appears that a given fundamental right may not be fully exercised without some further or additional right, such further or additional right cannot as a matter of course be ragarded as part of the guaranteed fundamental right. The test to be applied is, whether the right claimed is a...
