Jul 7, 2025
When Mumbai-based advocate Priya Menon took on a case involving wrongful dismissal and unsafe working conditions at a shipbreaking yard in Alang,
Gujarat, she needed to act fast.
The lawsuit alleged violations under:
Factories Act, 1948
The Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970
Occupational Safety, Health and Working Conditions Code, 2020
Evatt AI to the Rescue
Priya turned to Evatt AI and asked:
“What Indian precedents exist around hazardous working conditions in shipbreaking under the Factories Act?”
Evatt AI returned, in seconds:
Key cases:
Research Foundation for Science v. Union of India, (2007) 8 SCC 583 – landmark ruling on environmental and worker safeguards in shipbreaking
Consumer Education and Research Centre v. Union of India, AIR 1995 SC 922 – SC held the right to health and safety as part of Article 21
Commentary on employer liability under Section 7A of the Factories Act
All data was processed confidentially — unlike ChatGPT, which cannot ensure attorney–client privilege.
The Outcome?
Priya prepared a compelling writ petition in under an hour — grounded in real, on-point case law and tailored to Indian labour jurisprudence.
