Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court, in a contempt petition under Article 32, directed the Union of India and all States to implement the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulations of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 and the Building and Other Construction Workers' Welfare Cess Act, 1996. The Court emphasized the obligation of the State to appoint Registration Officers and establish State Welfare Boards as mandated by Sections 6 and 18 of the Act. The Court found substantial non-compliance with its previous orders and mandated immediate action to ensure the welfare and safety of construction workers.
