provinces, in other parts of the UP, Bihar, and various other places where
practices such as abstinence, human trafficking by forced labor, and so
on. it happens and the public still keeps closing and watching all of this.

other problems as in some areas they were not allowed
to enter their churches but there is no established
reason for this practice.

This word means to sell and buy people from

ArrestedWork / Compulsory Work:
Here the job is not only because of his physical
and mental strength but also because of his
economic status we like to pay off his debts. In
this way, he is forced to work and if at the time
he is unable to pay his debts the employee
sometimes gets twice as much without pay or
passes on to the next generation. So from here
the word Bonded Labor or forced labor.

10. Case Law
Interpretations
PEOPLE'S Union for Democratic Rights v. Union of India
The case involved forced labor. The law prohibits any
form of forced labor whether due to mental, physical, or
economic pressure. Also, no one will be compelled to do
anything contrary to his will in any way, and doing so will
incur severe penalties.
Sanjit Roy v. State of Rajasthan
In, the State used individuals to do certain work under
the Hunger Relief Act. People were starving, so the State
used them. In any case, these people were paid even less
than the basic wages because cash was provided to help
them accumulate poverty.
