The High Court of Karnataka on Wednesday directed the State government to consider issuing a general direction for all the urban and rural local bodies to ensure that no person is allowed to clean a sewer manually except in certain circumstances as per the Rule 3 of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Rules, 2013.
A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Sachin Shankar Magadum issued the direction while hearing PIL petitions by the All India Council for Trade Unions and the High Court Legal Services Committee complaining about non-implementation of the provisions of the Prohibition of Employment as Manual Scavengers and their Rehabilitation Act, 2013.
