State Of Karnataka & Ors vs M.L. Kesari & Ors on 3 August, 2010
We are in
agreement with Mr. Bapat who submit that even if assuming that the window
that has been opened in case of M.L.Kesari (supra) is extended to the petitioner,
they have not completed 10 years of service as on the cut-off date i.e. 10.04.2016,
and therefore, they cannot seek the benefit of the relaxation of Paragraph 53 as
laid down by the Constitution Bench in Umadevi (supra). We see substance in
the said submission of Mr. Bapat in as much as though we can depict the manner
of the appointment of the petitioner on contractual basis since 2012. However,
the one time measure as has been explained by the Hon'ble Apex Court in the
aforesaid case cannot be of any assistance to the petitioner and we do not intend
to extend the benefits to the petitioner in the manner in which it is sought to be
done by the learned counsel for the petitioner by stating that since they have now
completed 10 years of service, they can be regularized.

automatic absorption of the contract labour came up before a Bench of three
learned Judges of this Court in Air India case [(1997) 9 SCC 377 : 1997 SCC
(L&S) 1344] . The Court held: (1) though there is no express provision in the
CLRA Act for absorption of the contract labour when engagement of contract
labour stood prohibited on publication of the notification under Section 10(1) of
the Act, from that moment the principal employer cannot continue contract
labour and direct relationship gets established between the workmen and the
principal employer; (2) the Act did not intend to denude the contract labour of
their source of livelihood and means of development by throwing them out from
employment; and (3) in a proper case the court as sentinel on the qui vive is
required to direct the appropriate authority to submit a report and if the finding
is that the workmen were engaged in violation of the provisions of the Act or
were continued as contract labour despite prohibition of the contract labour
under Section 10(1), the High Court has a constitutional duty to enforce the law
and grant them appropriate relief of absorption in the employment of the
principal employer. Justice Majmudar, in his concurring judgment, put it on the
ground that when on the fulfilment of the requisite conditions, the contract
labour is abolished under Section 10(1), the intermediary contractor vanishes
and along with him vanishes the term "principal employer" and once the
intermediary contractor goes the term "principal" also goes with it; out of the
tripartite contractual scenario, only two parties remain, the beneficiaries of the
abolition of the erstwhile contract labour system i.e. the workmen on the one
hand and the employer on the other, who is no longer their principal employer
but necessarily becomes a direct employer for erstwhile contract labourers. The
learned Judge also held that in the provision of Section 10 there is implicit
legislative intent that on abolition of the contract labour system, the erstwhile
contract workmen would become direct employees of the employer in whose
establishment they were earlier working and were enjoying all the regulatory
facilities under Chapter V. in that very establishment.
