Case History
Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 008315/1998 – Mangalore Chemicals & Fertilizers 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 factory operations, justifying abolition of contract labour to ensure permanent employment.
