The exemption notification under the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 applied to the operations in question, and the Labour Court erred in treating it as a basis for relief. Gate passes issued for security and administrative purposes at the contractor's request did not by themselves prove an employer-employee relationship, and a disputed concession by counsel could not bind the party. No evidence was led to show that the labour was engaged in work ordinarily forming part of the industry, so the findings of sham contract and direct employment were unsustainable. en-us Wed, 20 Feb 2019 00:00:00 +0530 Sat, 24 Sep 2022 08:17:58 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=304409 Contract labour could not be treated as direct employment merely on the basis of gate passes, an alleged concession, or the extended definition of employer under the Uttar Pradesh Industrial Disputes Act, 1947.
