1. Fatima Jinnah Medical College Employees' Union through its General Secretary has come up in appeal under section 8 (3) of the Industrial Rela--tions Ordinance of 1969 (hereinafter called the I.
2. R. O.) against the order t3f the Registrar Trade Unions on 19-12-1970, whereby he refused to register the appellant-Union on the ground that Fatima Jinnah Medical College was not an industry. The definition of industry is given in section 2 (xiv) of the I. R. O. Which reads as under: --- ---Industry' means any business, trade, manufacture, calling, service employment or occupation."It has been argued by the learned counsel for the respondent that it cannot be said that Fatima Jinnah Medical College is being run on industrial or commercial basis because it is not doing any business, therefore, it does not come within the definition of industry. Learned counsel bas failed to consider that not only business, trade or manufacture have been defined as industry but a calling, a service and employment or an occupation have also been defined as such. After every item comma is given which separates it from the items mentioned before or after it. The definition is very wide and embraces calling, service, employment and occupation which have no simila--rity with business, trade and manufacture. If the intention of Legislature had been that not every kind of calling, service, employment or occupation should come within the definition of an industry, there was no hindrance in their way to draw a line of demarcation between business, trade and manufacture on one side and calling, service, employment or occupation on the other.
3. By weaving business, trade or manufacture, calling, service, employment or occupation in the same thread, the Legislature for the purpose of the defini--tion of industry have made all of them alike and no line of demarcation can be drawn. This was done purposely because before the amendment the definition was different. In the previous definition of industry after business trade or manufacture, the words 'and includes' were written and after those words calling, service, employment or occupation, another things mentioned which was intended to be included in the definition, but in the definition which now stands purposely the words 'and includes' were deleted.
4. When a term is defined then its dictionary meanings are not to be seen. The things which have been defined also do not strictly carry the dictionary meanings If the intention is that things defined should carry their dictionary meanings then there is no necessity of defining them. Where in a definition the original character of the terms is to be retained then it is written that they would be included in the term defined. The question of inclusion arises where the original character which apparently is different from the term to be defined A is recognised and retained but where the original character is not maintained then the items are directly defined and no question of including them in the definition arises. Where certain things have been only included in the definition of a term, then those things can come in the definition if they have resemblance ith the other things which have been directly defined they the definition of industry, not only business, trade and manufacture have been directly defined but calling, service, employment or occupation have also been so directly defined. In the previous definition, business, trade or manufacture have been directly defined but the other items were not directly defined as an industry and were only included in the definition of industry. According to the previous definition, therefore, if the items included in the definition of industry had resemblance with business, trade and manufacture which were directly included in the definition, then they could come in the definition otherwise not. The result is that according to the present definition of industry without seeing whether a calling, service, employment or occupation is being run or business point of view or not, it would be industry. Legislature never uses and deletes words without any purpose. In the previous definition the words `and includes' were purposely used and in the present definition pur--posely they have been deleted. Obviously in the previous definition the purpose was that every kind of service, employment and occupation would not be included in the definition of industry but only those which had resemblance with any trade, business or manufacture would be called industries but the purpose of the Legislature in the present definition is apparently clear that every kind of calling, service, employment or occupation whether they have or have not any resemblance with the business, trade or manufacture. Would be called industries. This fact cannot be denied that Fatima Jinnah Medical College's employees have been employed and they are doing service. This fact also cannot be denied that medical education is imparted not free of cost but fee is charged. So apparently the institution falls within the purview of the definition of industry as given in section 2
(xiv) of the I. R. O. And the appellant-Union is entitled to get itself registered. I, therefore, setting aside the order of the Registrar, direct it to register the appellant-Union.
