Bhuvaneswari P. And Ors. vs Union Of India (Uoi) And Ors. on 8 June, 1999
16. Only if the Industrial Tribunal finds that the contract is genuine, the contract labourer could approach the Government for issue of a notification under Section 10 of the Act. If the notification is issued abolishing the contract labour, a Division Bench of this Court, in Ramakrishnan K. and 19 Ors. v. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. and 2 Ors. (supra) has held that the judgment of the Apex Court in Air India Statutory Corporation v. United Labour Union (supra) will come to rescue the contract labourer directly and the contract labourers are entitled to be absorbed by the principal employer straightaway, without having to raise any industrial dispute.
