Case History
Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 008125/1998 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, not integral to manufacturing, finding that statutory canteen obligations under the Factories Act make such work incidental and necessary, justifying contract labour abolition as valid policy.
