casestatus.in Summary

Summary of SLP(C) No. 008179/1998 – M/S. Escorts Mahle Ltd. v. State of Karnataka The Supreme Court dismissed the petition challenging Karnataka's 1997 notification prohibiting contract labour in industrial canteens of factories employing 250+ workers. The Court held that canteen operations are incidental and necessary to factory operations under Section 46 of the Factories Act, making them subject to contract labour abolition under Section 10 of the Contract Labour Act, 1970. The Court rejected arguments that canteens are mere facilities unrelated to core manufacturing, finding adequate consultation and application of statutory factors in the Government's decision-making process.
