Abstract: Labour problems constituted a serious menace to the society. Employers paid their sole attention to the maintenance of machines and the improvement of the technical know-how to the utter neglect of the human hands employed to man the machines because they were readily available and could be easily replaced. The socio-economic status of the workers was far below the status of their employer. Workers also started to form their own organization to fight against exploitation at the hands of industrialists. The Government too realizes the gravity of the problem and could not remain a spectator for the workers constituted a large section of the society. Neither the Government nor the law courts took special notice of these problems because they laid too much emphasis on the policy of the non-interference and freedom of contract.
