casestatus.in Summary

Summary 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 incidental and necessary to factory operations under the Factories Act, constituting perennial work requiring abolition of contract labour. The Government's consultation with the Advisory Board satisfied statutory requirements, and individual factory circumstances need not be separately examined when applying category-based policy decisions. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
