provided to the workers the Court held in the
affirmative.

and safety of workers in the Mines Act, 1952 and Mines

Respondent Government to immediately provide
adequate medical facilities to the workers.

be trained under the Mines Vocational Training Rules

The Court held that families of workmen were entitled
to medical aid and reimbursement of expenses in that
