24 NATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSION United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child(UNCRC) Provisions in the Constitution of India and Domestic Legislation/Policy Measures in Consonance with UNCRC Judgements 9) M C Mehta vs the State of Tamil Nadu and others (W.P. (C) 465/1986) is a historic judgement on child labour, which elaborated the situation of child labour in India. . The judgement highlighted the relation between poverty and child labour and also shed light on how the state has failed to eradicate child labour, and its lack of zeal to deal with it. The court reiterated that there should be regular survey of child labour. Gaps between UNCRC & Indian Laws (G) and Recommendations(R) G15: Many hazardous occupations have been removed from the list given in the Part A of the Schedule to CLPRA. R15: Ministry of Labour and Emploment should review and update the list of “Hazardous occupations and processes” at regular intervals, based on the emerging global commitments and trends. G16: Regular surveys of prevalence of child labour as mandated by the Supreme Court are not being conducted and as such, the practice of child labour is continuing and there is no data (including sector/industry wise) available which takes away the scope of targeted interventions to eliminate child labour.
