1992 (8) TMI 205 - SC - Indian LawsEmployees' State Insurance Act, 1948 - Meaning and scope of the term 'Shop' - Applicability on The appellant Company, carrying on the business of clearing and forwarding at the port of Cochin - Held that: - The appellant is carrying on stevedoring, clearing and forwarding operations. Clearing the documents, even it be in the custom house, is the carrier's job. It cannot be gainsaid that the appellant is rendering service to cater the needs of exporters and importers and others who want to carry the goods further. Therefore, it is a shop carrying on a systematic economic or a commercial activity. This would be enough to bring the appellant without specifically enumerating the specific activities carried on by the appellant. Merely because shop has been enumerated along with other similar establishment we do not think any further specific enumeration is necessary to cover the appellant. – Decided against the applicant.
