Ravi, a CS, advises Anand Foods Ltd that its factory in Pune is subject to a Central labour law and also State rules framed under it. Who is the 'appropriate Government' concept designed to identify in such laws?

The appropriate Government concept identifies whether the Central Government or the State Government is competent to make rules, administer and enforce a labour law for a particular establishment. It depends on the nature of the industry or employer, not on the registered office alone or any court.
