The Standard-Vacuum Refining Co.Of ... vs Its Workmen And Others on 6 April, 1960

It is surprising that more than forty years after the independence the practice of employing labour through con- tractors by big companies including public sector companies is still being accepted as a normal feature of labour-em- ployment. There is no security of service to the workmen and their wages are far below than that of the regular workmen of the company. This Court in Standard-Vaccum Refining Co. of India Ltd. v. Its Workmen, [1960] 3 SCR 466 and Catering Cleaners of Southern Railway v. Union of India & Anr., [1987] 1 SCC 700 has disapproved the system of contract labour holding it to be 'archaic', 'primitive' and of 'baneful nature'. The system, which is nothing but an im- proved version of bonded-labour, is sought to be abolished by the Act. The Act is an important piece of social legisla- tion for the welfare of labourers and has to be liberally construed.
