ABSTRACT

The concept of Bonded labour(peonage) or forced labour has been persistent and is still a reality in a country which has been often praised as the mother of democracies. This case report mainly focuses on the landmark case of Bandhua Mukti Morcha v. Union of India1 which provided historical judgements in the upliftment of bonded labour. It was led by Supreme Court’s three judge bench consisting Justice Sen, Justice Pathak and Justice Bhagwati which gave a very wide, liberal and expansive scope to the definition of bonded labour in India
