Suryaprakash Motiram Bhandarkar v. the Manager/Managing Director Ellora Paper Mills Ltd., Devhara (Khurd) Mohadi Bhandara and Another
Case brief
What is this about?
Workers claimed direct employment by a paper mill despite being on contractor's muster, relying on provident fund deposits in the company's account. The court held the company lawfully deposited PF under Section 6 EPF Act as contractor had no account, licenses under the Contract Labour Act existed, and records were lost in fire; petitions dismissed.
