This book unfolds the vicissitudes of inter-state migrant workmen (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service Act), 1979 in action. No heuristic study so far appears to have been conducted in this area. The problems of migrant workmen are multifarious as well as magnitude. The law under study is a step in ameliorating the condition of the migrant workmen; the avowing for the all round welfare of the migrant workmen, thus prescribing, promoting and achieving socio-economic justice for the weaker-segment of the society. The piece of legislation under study aims at benefiting the migrant workmen who move from their home-states to migrant places in search of conducive jobs. This piece of legislation is in the form of a war against poverty ridden migrant workmen. The system of employment of migrant workmen is not only complex one but also an exploitative mostly prevalent in the states of Orissa, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, etc. Since all does not appear to be well with the system, therefore, it was aspired to undertake an indepth study of this piece of legislation particularly through the techniques of social sciences research methodology applied in legal sciences research in order to know the functional approach of law.
