NOTES The demand for “Nokku Kooli” in any form, manner, colour or manifestation, by any person, Trade Union, or registered worker, is declared illegal and unconstitutional.
Sundaresan v. District Police Chief, 2022 (2) KLT 439.
To be a headload worker as contemplated under the Act, one must be a registered headload worker. Manzoor v. District Labour Officer, 2021 (5) KLT 554.
The reasoning that one should have done headload work in the establishment to be a headload worker, would lead to an anomalous situation, where, no new persons could ever be registered as a headload worker in a scheme covered area. Manzoor v. District Labour Officer, 2021 (5) KLT 554.
The inclination or willingness to do headload work along with consent of the employer to employ the person as a headload worker, will satisfy the requirements of the Act and Scheme to obtain registration as a headload worker. Manzoor v. District Labour Officer, 2021 (5) KLT 554.
The Act was never intended to snatch away the work of workmen engaged on regular basis in any establishment and it does not deal with any issues relating to such workmen.
Shaik Atheek v. Station House Officer, 2020 (1) KLT 356.
“Attimari cooli” or “Nokku Kooli" is not payable to workers who are not employed by employers when they have their own regular workers.
Jayaprakash v. Government of Kerala, 2007 (1) KLT 343.
A person who may casually attend to loading/unioading work in an establishment is not entitled to be identified as a headload worker. Employer has the right to carry on the work including unloading work by engaging his own workmen. Neither the employer nor the employees are obliged to register themselves under the Act, Rule or Scheme.
Venkataraman v. Sub Inspector of Police, Puthencruz, 2005 (4) KLT 365.
A headload worker is no more than a casual employee. In an area where the Scheme is not made applicable the employer can engage any headload worker of his own choice.
