The newspaper organisations and their association had even challenged the validity of the Working Journalist and Other Newspaper Employees (Condition of Service) and Miscellaneous Provision Act, 1955.
However, the newspaper employees organisation had contested the claim of the newspaper employers organisations contending that the board was set up under the provisions of the 1955 act and its validity was not in question.
The employees' side was represented by the Federation of PTI Employees Union and other organisations.
