2. By means of instant writ petition the petitioners sought for the following reliefs:-
The court affirmed the validity of the exemption notification permitting contract labour in the FCI, highlighting adherence to previous judicial rulings as a matter of legal discipline.

Contract labour cannot be employed in establishments under Section 10 of the Act; transferring employees for this purpose violates legal provisions.
Exemption notifications under Section 31 of the Act, which are temporary, issued for an emergent purpose, cannot dilute the rigour of a Section 10 notification.
The exemption under the Contract Labour Act is valid, allowing the Food Corporation to engage contract labour and transfer DPS workers, affirming the authority of the employer in service matters.
The transfer of Direct Payment System workers is lawful under the provisions of the Contract Labour Act, ensuring minimum wages and service benefits are maintained.
Workers under no work no pay must be treated equally to regularized workers, ensuring consistent application of Tribunal awards.
Point of Law : Neither the recommendations of that Committee nor the notification ultimately prohibiting the engagement of contract labourers by CPWD, has been ever questioned or assailed by the resp....
The court established that employees must be treated equally regarding regularization under the Direct Payment System based on prior tribunal awards and statutory provisions.
