APPLICATION OF GENERAL CLAUSES ACT THE DELHI SHOPS AND ESTABLISHMENTS ACT, 1954 (7 of 1954) [19th June, 1954] PREAMBLE An Act to amend and consolidate the law relating to the regulation of hours of work, payment of wages, leave, holidays, terms of service and other conditions of work of persons employed in shops, commercial establishments, establishments for public entertainment or amusement and other establishments and to provide for certain matters connected therewith. It is hereby enacted as follows:— 1. Short title, extent, commencement and application.—(1) This Act may be called the Delhi Shops and Establishments Act, 1954. (2) It extends to the whole of Union Territory of Delhi. (3) It shall come into force on such date1 as Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, appoint in this behalf. (4) It shall apply in the first instance only to the Municipal Areas, Notified Areas and Cantonment limits of Delhi, New Delhi, Shahadra, Civil Lines, Mehrauli, Red Fort and Delhi Cantonment but Government may, by notification in the Official Gazette, direct that it shall come into force in any other local area or areas or shall apply to such shops or establishments or class of shops and establishments in such other areas as may be specified in the notification. COMMENTS The Act, which received the assent of the President on 19th June, 1954, came into force with effect from the 1st of February, 1955, vide Notification No. F.5/51-1 & L, dated 17th January, 1955. The Act will apply only in Delhi and not outside Delhi. The provisions of the Act will apply to the shops and establishments located in Delhi and not to any establishment working outside Delhi. Thus, the office which the petitioner had in Iraq by itself cannot be termed as an establishment to be covered under the Act. Also it has been held by the Delhi High Court that the mere fact that the business of the petitioner is being carried on from that office so the petitioner’s officer in Delhi could not be treated as an establishment to be covered under the Act; Bhandari Builders Pvt. Ltd. v. M.K. Seth, 1988 (15) DRJ 77 (SN). The Supreme Court has observed that the preamble is a key to the enactment and it may legitimately be construed to solve any ambiguity or to fix the meaning of words which may have more than one, or to keep the effect of the statute within its real scope, whenever the enacting part is in any of these respects open to doubt. The scope of the Act is a progressive piece of legislation and design to settle the disputes on a new pattern hitherto intention to judicial machinery set in the country. The object of all labour legislation is to ensure fair wages and to prevent disputes so that production might not be adversely affected. 2.

SCHEDULE **** STATEMENT OF OBJECTS AND REASONS Act 8 of 1962.- At present the Madras Shops and Establishments Act, 1947, is in force in Madras area. The Mysore Shops and Establishments Act, 1948, is in force in the Mysore area. The Hyderabad Shops and Establishments Act, 1957, is in force in Hyderabad area and the Bombay Shops and Establishments Act, 1948, is in force in the Bombay area. It is considered expedient to have a uniform law in the State of Mysore for the regulation of the terms and conditions of work and employment in shops and commercial establishments. The Government of India had circulated a Draft Bill for consideration of State Governments to initiate legislation on similar lines where necessary. Both these objects will be served by enacting legislation on the lines of this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A dated 12th February 1959 as No.2653 at page. 32.) Amending Act 36 of 1966.—According to sub-section (2) of section 39 of the Act, all appeals by employees removed or dismissed from service lie to the prescribed authority or if no authority is prescribed, to the Commissioner of Labour. This means that only one appellate authority for the entire State has to deal with the appeals involving much difficulty and inconvenience to all persons concerned. It is considered necessary to amend the Act to provide for appeals to different authorities in different places depending on the area from which the appeal arises and the class or category to which an establishment belongs. It is also considered necessary to provide for the transfer of appeals under section 39 (2) pending before the Commissioner of Labour to the appropriate appellate authority. Hence this Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A, dated 22nd November 1966 as No. 193 at page. 4.) III Amending Act 4 of 1969.—It is proposed to provide for supervision of the work of Labour Inspectors who are appointed as Inspectors under the Mysore Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961, by the Assistant Labour Commissioners and the Labour Officers. This cannot be done unless the Assistant Labour Commissioners and Labour Officers are also made Inspectors under the said Act. There is no provision for the appointment of the Additional Inspector under the Act, and it is proposed to provide for such appointments. The Mysore Maternity Benefit Act 1959 has been repealed and the Maternity Benefit Act 1961 (Central Act 53 of 1961) has been brought into force. It is therefore necessary to amend Chapter V of the Act suitably. Hence the Bill. (Obtained from file LAW 81 LGN 67.) Amending Act 33 of 1982.—In his Budget speech for the year 1982–83 the Finance Minister indicated that in the interest of revenue and for better enforcement of the provision of the Act annual renewal of the registration of shops and commercial establishments would be provided under the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961. The provision for renewal also facilitates maintenance of up-to date statistics of such establishments and would also result in better conditions of service for the employees. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A, dated 26th July 1982 as No. 588 at page. 4.) Amending Act 17 of 1986.—The Food Corporation of India is a key Organisation in the food grains distribution programme in the State. The establishments of the said Corporation are exempted from the provisions of the enactments similar to that of the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961 in many of the States/Union territories in India. It is considered, therefore, necessary to exempt this Organisation from the provisions of the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961, as is done in the case of Postal, Telegraphic or Telephone Service etc., and organisations which supply power, light or water etc., to the public. Hence the Bill. (Published in the Karnataka Gazette (Extraordinary) Part IV-2A, dated 21st February 1986 as No. 134 at page. 3.) Amending Act 25 of 1997.—It is proposed to amend the Karnataka Shops and Commercial Establishments Act, 1961, to provide
