Turf clubs and chit fund firms are covered by ESI Act, the Supreme Court ruled last week in two cases, Bangalore Turf Club vs. ESI and sri Visalam Chit Funds Ltd vs ESI. A three-judge bench was dealing with two conflicting stream of judgements of the court on the applicability of the law to the horse racing clubs in different cities. The court gave liberal interpretation of the word 'shop', not defined in the law. It rejected the argument of the clubs and the chit fund firms that the meaning of shop should be given the traditional meaning. In the chit fund case it was argued that there was no buying or selling in its offices and it was a matter of contract. Therefore it was not running shops. The court rejected this contention and asserted that the activities of chit funds would fall within the meaning of shops.
