The Act is intended to benefit the unorganized<\/p>\n<p>workers in the construction sector.         Under Section 6 of the Act, the<\/p>\n<p>appropriate Government has to appoint registering officers and under<\/p>\n<p>Section 7 of the Act every employer shall register their establishment.<\/p>\n<p>The building workers are given various benefits and in order to enable<\/p>\n<p>the workers to avail the benefits, each State has to constitute a State<\/p>\n<p>Welfare Board. The Board shall consist of a Chairman nominated by the<\/p>\n<p>Central Government, and such other Members, not exceeding 15, as may<\/p>\n<p>be appointed by the State Government.            The Board shall appoint a<\/p>\n<p>Secretary as its Chief Executive Officer.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hidden_text\">                                         2<\/span><\/p>\n<p>         Under Section 22 of the Act, the Board may provide immediate<\/p>\n<p>assistance to the beneficiaries in case of accident, and also pay<\/p>\n<p>compensation to those workers who had completed the age of sixty<\/p>\n<p>years.     The Board may also sanction loans and advances to the<\/p>\n<p>beneficiaries and also to give financial assistance for the education of<\/p>\n<p>children of the beneficiaries and also to give the benefit of group<\/p>\n<p>insurance schemes. The Board can also grant maternity benefit to the<\/p>\n<p>female beneficiaries. A construction welfare fund has to be constituted<\/p>\n<p>and there are other provisions also to regulate the conditions of service<\/p>\n<p>of construction workers. There are also provisions to take care of the<\/p>\n<p>safety and health conditions of the workers. In order to implement the<\/p>\n<p>provisions there shall be inspecting staff and certain penal provisions are<\/p>\n<p>also in the Act to punish those who act in violation of the provisions of<\/p>\n<p>enactment.\n<\/p>\n<p>         The   Parliament   has   also   passed   the   Building   and   Other<\/p>\n<p>Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act, 1996 for the purpose of levy and<\/p>\n<p>collection of cess and Section 3 of the Act envisages that- there shall be<\/p>\n<p>levied and collected a cess for the purposes of the Building and Other<\/p>\n<p>Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of<\/p>\n<p>Service) Act, 1996, at such rate not exceeding two percent; but not less<\/p>\n<p>than one per cent of the cost of construction incurred by an employer, as<\/p>\n<p>the Central Government may specify for him to time. Section 62 of the<\/p>\n<p>Building and<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      3<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Other Construction Workers Welfare Cess Act says that proper Rules are<\/p>\n<p>to be framed by the Government after consultation with the expert<\/p>\n<p>committee.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>             The learned counsel appearing for the writ petitioners filed a<\/p>\n<p>chart before us indicating the steps that had been taken by the various<\/p>\n<p>state governments. It says that many of the governments had not taken<\/p>\n<p>steps as per the provisions of the Act.       Though some of the state<\/p>\n<p>governments have collected cess but the benefits have not been fully<\/p>\n<p>passed on to the construction workers. Some of the State governments<\/p>\n<p>have not constituted either the State Advisory Committee or the expert<\/p>\n<p>committee or the Welfare Board as envisaged under the Act.       The Delhi<\/p>\n<p>Government has framed detailed Rules, namely, the Delhi Building and<\/p>\n<p>Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions<\/p>\n<p>of Service) Rules, 2002.   These Rules exclusively deal with the matter<\/p>\n<p>and gives various model forms also for compliance of the provisions of<\/p>\n<p>the Act. The State Governments and Union Territories which have not<\/p>\n<p>framed the rules as per Section 62 of the Act can very well take the Delhi<\/p>\n<p>Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and<\/p>\n<p>Conditions of Service) Rules 2002, as a model and the same can be<\/p>\n<p>adopted for the purpose of this Act.      Copy of the same is available on<\/p>\n<p>internet and the same can be had from the Government of Delhi.<\/p>\n<p>             We direct the Chief Secretary of the respective States and<br \/>\n<span class=\"hidden_text\">                                      4<\/span><\/p>\n<p> Secretary (Labour) of each States and the Union Territories to take timely<\/p>\n<p> steps as per the provisions of the Act, if not already done.     We would<\/p>\n<p> like to have the appraisal report in the first week of May as to what steps<\/p>\n<p> have been taken in this regard. If any of the State Government has not<\/p>\n<p> done anything pursuant to the Act, urgent steps are to be taken so that<\/p>\n<p> the benefits of this legislation shall not go waste.        Otherwise the<\/p>\n<p> unorganized workers of the construction sector will be denied the<\/p>\n<p> benefit of the Act.\n<\/p>\n<p>       Post in the 1st week of May, 2009.\n<\/p>\n<p>       A copy of the order be sent to the Chief Secretary of all the States<\/p>\n<p> and Secretary (Labour) of each State and the Union Territories for taking<\/p>\n<p> further action in this regard.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>                                     &#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.CJI<br \/>\n                                                  (K.G.
