Supreme Court Judgement (Dt. 09.05.1995) Relating to Abolition of contract labour system

Abstract

The government’s Contract Labour Regulation and Abolition Act 1970 has proved incapable of hindering the proliferating privatisation of the Contract Labour system. In this context, the Supreme Court’s 1995 judgement is especially important in fighting the contract labour system, and is reprinted here in full. The case isGujarat Electricity Board, Gujarat v Hind Mazdoor-Sabha & Ors. (Civil Appeal No. 5497 of 1995).
