A letter petition received from the District Beedi Worker 's Union	 Tirunelveli in the State of Tamil Nadu was treated as an application under Article 32 of the Constitution and notice was ordered intially to three factories referred to in the said letter and later to other beedi manufacturing units within the State. In the letter	 complaint was made about manipulation of records regarding employees	 non payment of appropriate dues for work taken	 failure to implement the provisions of the labour laws	 prevalence of contract labour system etc. There is a connected petition also relating to the same subject matter with different ancillary reliefs covering employment of child labour and the non implementation of the Beedi and Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act	 1956. We have considered it appropriate to deal with both the applications together. This Court by an Order dated 24th October	 1989 appointed a social organisation by name 'Society for Community Organisa tion Trust (SOCCO) ganisation for making appropriate investigation and circuated the State to the court. After the Report was received an were given time to file their respones Tamil Nadu and the manu facturers were given time to file their response by way of affidavits. This Court then directed that a scheme should be formulated for for consideration of the Court. This court made an Order on 24th July	 1991 to the following effect. "We gather from the submissions made at the bar that in the meantime some exercise has been undertaken for the purpose of finalising the Scheme. Initially the state of Tamil Nadu has taken the lead but later Union of India has also go interested and meeting on a bigger 	scale for the purpose of finalising the Scheme is being arranged. The attorney General is present in Court today. We have also suggested to him that he may par ticipate in the proceedings to help the schem to be finalised as quickly as possible. " Then came two Schemes	 one by the petitioners and the other by the State of r Thamil Nadu. By order dated October 8	 1991	 the Court directedon the basis of consent of counsel that at a conference the terms should be settled for one Scheme to be adopted by the Court. On 10 th October	 1991	 on the representation of the parties	 the Court made the following Order: "Pursuant to our earlier direction	 the em ployers	 employees and the State Government through their representatives met 361 and have sorted out	 some of the differences. Matters which are agreed to by all. and as pects which are not agred to by the employers have been seperately shown. A copy of this may be served on counsel for the Union of India present in the court today and he is given three weeks ' time to indicate the responses. The appropriate Ministry of the Government of india to respond to the relevant aspects. " Pursuant to this Order	 the Under Secretary in the Minis try of Labour of the Union Government has filed an affidavit which we have examined. The objection which have. been especially refered to in the affidavit of the Central Government do not really surive after the matter is heard inasmuch as these are questions with which the union Government in not concerned and Under the constitutional scheme they relate to the power of the State Government. w	e would like ' to dispose of these petitions with the following directions taken from the scheme as formulated by the petitioners and the State Government	 1. The Beedi and Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Rules 1969 should be strictly implemented 	and once that is done the evil of not furnishing the books to the home workers would be eradicated. An establishment of the Regional Provident Fund Commissioner with full 'equipment for the purpopose of implementation of the Statute should be located within the area and the Regional Provident Fund commissioner should have directionS to enforce the Act in all aspects. This establishment should start functioning within three months from now. The labour laws as also the Beedi and Cigar Workers (Conditions of Employment) Act should be strictly enforced so that the workers get their legitimate dues and the conditions of employment improve. Tobacco manufacturing has indeed health hazards. Child labour in this grade should theirfore be prohibited as far as possible and employment of child labour should be stopped either immediately or in a phased manner to be decided by the State GovernmeAts Out within a perioed not exceeding three years from now. The provisions of Child Labour Abolition Act	 1986 should be strictly imple mented. 362 5. Contract labour system	 it is alleged	 is indispensable this trade. The Union Government is directed look into this aspect of the matter and take its final decision one way or the other within six months from now. Beedi trade is a flourishmg one. Exploi tation of labour is rampant in this trade. A governmental labour establishment should be located in the area with full complement to answer the requirements of the matter. Since beedi manufacturing process is carried more outside the factory than within	 the system of maintaining the registers as a regulating practice has become necessary. Great care should	 therefore	 be taken to ensure the maintenance of the register system as the bulk of the employees outside the factories can be regulated only through the record maintained in the registers. The and the which contain beneficial provisions should be implemented in the true spirit and since they are legislations of the Central Government	 the machinery of the Central Government should be made operational in the area. Grievance has been made that the pass books are not maintained in the names of actual workers. This should be ensured. The Welfare Fund should be properly administered after and in the case of death of a workman appropriate assistance should be extended out of the Fund quickly. In view of the health hazard involved in the manufacturing process	 every worker in cluding children	 if employed	 should be insured for a minimum amount of Rs.50	000 and the premium should be paid by the employer and the incidence should not be passed on to the workman. We are of the view that the implementation of the scheme within the state in an effective manner would require to be supervised by an independent external agency. The Tamil Nadu State Legal Aid & Advice Board can be entrusted with this responsibility. A three year period of such supervision	 in our opinion	 would meet the requirement and at the end of such period the scheme is expected to become effectively operative. We	 therefore	 require the Tamil Nadu Board to undertake the super. 363 vision from January	 1992 and we direct the Tamil Nadu Government and the said Board to coordinate the implementa tion. The Secretary of the Tamil Nadu Board Mr. Raja	 who would be mainly in charge of the field job shall be paid a sum of Rs. 1	500 (fifteen) per month from January 1992	 as an allowance to meet out of pocket expenses by the State Government for the period he does the work as Secretary of the Board. We dispose of these cases with the directions indicated above and hope and trust that the authorities as also the employers and the employees would try to implement the directions in true spirit. Liberty to apply. G.N. Petitions disposed of.
