casestatus.in Summary

Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 8202-8205/1998 - Senapathy Whitley Pvt. 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 rejected petitioners' arguments that canteen work is peripheral to manufacturing, holding that statutory canteen obligations under the Factories Act make such work integral to establishment operations. The Government's consultation with the Advisory Board satisfied procedural requirements; individual factory assessments were unnecessary when formulating category-based policy.
