40
[in Form V annexed to the Rationalisation of Forms and Reports under Certain Labour Laws Rules, 2017] by the

42
(2) [* * *].
► Constitutional validity.—The rate of Rs 30 per workman as security money does not offend Article 14. Gammon India Ltd. v. Union
of India, (1974) 1 SCC 596.
25. Forms and terms and conditions of licence.—(1) Every licence granted under sub-section (1) of Section 12
43 44

shall be non-refundable;
(iv) the rates of wages payable to the workmen by the contractor shall not be less than the rates prescribed under
the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 (II of 1948), for such employment where applicable, and where the rates have
been fixed by agreement, settlement or award 45[or by the appropriate Government], not less than the rates so
fixed;
(v) (a) in cases where the workmen employed by the contractor perform the same or similar kind of work as the
workmen directly employed by the principal employer of the establishment, the wage rates, holidays, hours of
work and other conditions of service of the workmen of the contractor shall be the same as applicable to the
workmen directly employed by the principal employer of the establishment on the same or similar kind of work:
Provided that in the case of any disagreement with regard to the type of work the same shall be decided by the
[Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central)]46 [* * *]47;
(b) in other cases the wage rates, holidays, hours of work and conditions of service of the workmen of the
contractor shall be such as may be specified in this behalf by the [Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central)]
48
;
Explanation.—While determining the wage rates, holidays, hours of work and other conditions of service under (b)
49
above, the [Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central)] shall have due regard to the wage rates, holidays, hours of
work and other conditions of service obtaining in similar employments;
► Validity of Rule 25(2)(v)(b).—Rule 25(2)(v)(b), reasonable and valid. Gammon India Ltd. v. Union of India, (1974) 1 SCC 596 : 1974
SCC (L&S) 252.
► Jurisdiction of Labour Court.—In the absence of a disagreement regarding the type of work done by the workmen of the contractor
and the workmen of the principal employer, the claim of the contractor's workmen to equal wages has to be decided not by the Chief Labour
Commissioner but by the Labour Court under Section 33-C of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. Indian Airlines v. Central Government
Labour Court, (1987) 2 LLN 111 (Del).
► Perform the same kind of work.—The expression “perform the same kind of work” need not mean that the contract labour should
actually do the same work as the workmen directly employed by the establishment. Contract Laghu Udyog Kamgar Union v. V.G. Mohite,
2001 Lab IC 3012 : (2002) 93 FLR 58 (Bom)(DB).
► Witnesses.—Rejection of deposition of witness on ground that only one witness of particular class of worker was examined incorrect
since it is not the number of witnesses but evidentiary value and cross-examination made that is material. Examination of single witness to
prove fact may be enough, Chemical Mazdoor Panchayat v. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd., (2018) 16 SCC 25.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

or, as the case may be, completion of such contract work 51[in Form VII annexed to the Rationalisation of Forms

on];
