Case History
Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 006515/1999 Note: The document provided contains multiple consolidated SLPs (including SLP 6515/1999), primarily featuring Barat Fritz Werner Ltd. v. State of Karnataka. The Supreme Court dismissed petitions challenging Karnataka's 1997 notification prohibiting contract labour in factory canteens employing 250+ workers. The Court held that canteen operations are incidental and necessary to factory operations under the Factories Act, Section 46, justifying contract labour abolition under Section 10 of the Contract Labour Act, 1970. The Court rejected arguments that canteens are "peripheral facilities" and affirmed proper government consultation with the Advisory Board before issuing the notification.
