Case History
Summary of SLP(C) No. 7581/1998 - I.T.C. Ltd. v. State of Karnataka The Supreme Court upheld Karnataka's 1997 notification prohibiting contract labour in industrial canteens of factories employing 250+ workers under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970. The Court rejected petitioners' arguments that canteen work is peripheral to manufacturing, holding that canteen provision is statutorily mandatory under the Factories Act, making it integral and incidental to factory operations. The Court confirmed the Government properly consulted the Advisory Board and applied required statutory criteria before issuing the notification.
