Chief Justice complimented the J&K Judicial Academy for organising this customized special programme to sensitize the officers of Labour department on the issue of Labour law jurisprudence and the welfare schemes meant for the marginalized section of society. He further stated that while adjudicating, the Labour Officers assume the role of a Judge and become part of the judicial system so they should be fair, transparent and stick to the rules while deciding a case.
Justice Sindhu Sharma, in her special address stated that with the initiation of the concept of a welfare State in the early realm of independence of our country, various legislative efforts have made their first move in the direction of welfare, equitable rights, social justice, social equity and equitable participation of the labour as a stakeholder at parity.
A plethora of labour laws have been enacted to ensure elevated health, safety, and welfare of workers; to protect them against oppressive terms as an individual worker is economically weak and has little bargaining power; to encourage and facilitate the workers in the organization; to deal with industrial disputes; to enforce social insurance and labour welfare schemes and alike, she added. She further stated that the relevance of the dignity of human labour and the need for protecting and safeguarding the interest of labour as human beings has been enshrined in various provisions in the Constitution of India keeping in line with Fundamental Rights and Directive Principles of State Policy.
Director, J&K Judicial Academy, M.K. Sharma in his welcome address, underscored the need of organising this program.
Veenakshi Koul, Deputy Labour Commissioner, Jammu proposed vote of thanks.
In the first technical session chaired by Justice Bansi Lal Bhat, Former Judge of the High Court of J&K and Ladakh, a threadbare discussion was held with regard to cannons of judicial ethics while discharging quasi-judicial functions, hearing of parties and decision making, and the extent of adjudicatory power of Labour Courts, procedure and practice.
