The Supreme Court said, “marriages do fail but parties should not stoop so low,” calling it “very disgusting” that since 2022 the husband has stopped his wife from collecting her belongings, and ordered him to return them within 24 hours.
The Supreme Court ruled that cleaning, washing, and dry cleaning of clothes are considered ‘manufacturing’ under the Factories Act. The Court explained that something does not need to change completely or become a new product to be called a manufacturing process. This decision gives a wider meaning to what activities are included under the Act. It may also affect labor rules and workplace laws in the service industry.
