Labour Law: Bonded Labour Act

  Bonded Labour Act



Bandhua Mukti Morcha vs Union of India
Number of workers are working in the inhumane conditions in the quarries. There are intolerant conditions here. The aim of this legislation is to focus on eradicating Bonded Labour. 
    The Article 14, 21 and 23 should be taken due care of. Also, the Directive Principles of State Policy should be paid heed to.

State should do the work for the welfare of the people. They should help the suffering and helplessness of the workers.

Public Union for Civil Liberties vs State of Tamil Nadu, 2004

The question of rehabilitation of the bonded labourers was discussed in this case. It was held that the duty of rehabilitation and the adequate education and other amenities for a decent living should be provided to such persons. The report held by NHRC should help in the rehabilitation of such people.

Sannasomannara Somashekarappa & Ors. vs Gorappa Rudraswamy and Ors. 2005

In this case four children were allegedly working in a farm as the bonded labourer. Later the Deputy Commissioner released the children from the bonded labourer. However, later it was held that such children were given clothes and other basic amenities along with the food. It was held that it was not an exploitation as the children were provided basic amenities along with the work. It would not amount to offence.
