The facts in appeal arising out of S.L.P. 7417/92, are sufficient to decide the questions of law that have arisen in these appeals.

The IAAI is now reconstituted as a company under Companies Act, 1956.

The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 (for Short, the 'Act') regulates registration of the establishment of principal employer, the contractor engaging and supplying the contract labour in every establishment in which 20 or more workmen are employed on any day of the preceding 12 months as contract labour. The appellant had obtained on September 20, 1971 a certificate of registration from Regional Labour Commissioner (Central) under the Act.

The Act was originally devised to provide 'encouragement' for employers and employees to provide safe work environments. It provided 'regulation' and 'clarity' to employers and employees on what the minimum standards needed to be and how this could be achieved.
