Mohan Singh and Ors. v. The Chairman Railway Board and Ors. - (Supreme Court) (03 Aug 2015)

Divisional Railway Manager a 'factory'

MANU/SC/0829/2015

Labour and Industrial

The Supreme Court held that a canteen at the Divisional Railway Manager, Moradabad was a 'statutory canteen'. With all requirements of a factory save for 'manufacturing' met, the Court determined repair and maintenance of railways wagons sufficiently constituting manufacturing, and termed the DRM a factory under the Factories Act, 1948. In a plea for absorption, the Court allowed existing staff of the canteen to be regularised with the railway.
