casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 7420/1998 — Motor Industries Co. Ltd. v. State of Karnataka The Supreme Court upheld Karnataka's 1997 notification prohibiting contract labour in factory canteens employing 250+ workers under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970. The Court held that canteen operations are necessary and incidental to factory operations under the Factories Act, Section 46, making them eligible for contract labour abolition. The Court rejected arguments that canteens are mere facilities unconnected to manufacturing, finding adequate consultation with the Advisory Board and proper consideration of statutory factors justified the blanket notification without examining each establishment individually. All petitions were dismissed. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
