Case Summary: SLP(C) No. 008127/1998 - Larsen & Toubro Ltd. v. State of Karnataka Note: The document provided contains multiple consolidated petitions (SLP 8127/1998 was one of approximately 23 petitions), with the principal case being Barat Fritz Werner Ltd. v. State of Karnataka, decided on 02/02/2001. The Supreme Court upheld Karnataka's 1997 notification prohibiting contract labour in industrial canteens of factories employing 250+ workers under the Contract Labour (Regulation & Abolition) Act, 1970. The Court held that canteens mandated under Section 46 of the Factories Act are incidental and necessary to establishment operations, justifying contract labour abolition as a policy matter. The government's consultation with the advisory board and consideration of statutory factors satisfied procedural requirements; individual factory conditions and industrial sickness were irrelevant to this categorical prohibition.
