- Looking to the uncertainty prevailing in this area and in the light of the experience of the last two decades in applying the test laid down in the case of Bangalore Water Supply, it is necessary that the decision in Bangalore Water Supply is re-examined.

But the kind of measures which may be required for the latter may be different and may have to be tailored to suit the mature of such organizations, their infrastructure and their financial capacity as also the needs of their employees.
