  "account": "Last week, India's Supreme Court ruled in a 6:3 decision that ongoing labor disputes under the old Industrial Disputes Act will continue to use the 1978 definition of \"industry.\" The court left the new Industrial Relations Code, 2020's definition up for interpretation, stating it should be understood on its own. Senior Correspondent Krishna Yadav, based in New Delhi, explains that the decision means workers and employers must continue to follow the 1978 interpretation of \"industry.\"",
  "summary": "The Supreme Court's recent ruling clarifies that pending labour disputes will still rely on the 1978 definition of ‘industry’, raising pivotal questions on the interpretation of the Industrial Relations Code, 2020, and its potential implications for non-profits and educational institutions.",
