Legal Question in Employment Law in India

dear sir

Indian railway train drivers are denied time break for food /

refreshment / natural call. there is no provision in the rules. The

Railways Act 1989 Chapter XIV have no provisions for time allowed for

taking food/refreshment/natural Call to Loco Running Staff as

"Continuous" employees.

I am central working president of Indian Railway Loco Runningmen

Organisation(IRLRO) is registered Trade Union of train drivers.

The Train drivers duty hours rules have no upper limit. All train

(Goods and Passenger) drivers have to drive train upto designated

station without any time break allowed for Tea/coffee, Meals and

natural call etc. Round the clock. No rules / no provisions on this

subject and issue.

IRLRO would request for an advice on how to raise this issue before

The NHRC, and can we get the reference of rules governing Time allowed

for Breakfast/lunch/Dinner to employees in civil work domain.

We need advice and help both.

in this situation, you may approach the high court and file a writ petition in this regard by impleading Indian Railways as a Respondent. only the high court and the Supreme Court have the power to amend the laws.
