Abstract: Abstract Manual scavenging, one of the most abominable realities that exist in the country today is a grave social socio-legal problem, in violation of human dignity and all principles of decent work. Manual scavenging represents some of the worst surviving forms of both caste discrimination and dehumanizing forms of work. Even though multiple government schemes have been implemented and, various anti-scavenging legislations exist, the practice continues. Intervention by the legislative and judiciary have not seen much success in eliminating the problem. The manual scavenging communities still suffer due to persistent discrimination, lack of information, improper implementation of laws and lack of alternative way of livelihood. There are a lot of discrepancies around the data on manual scavengers in the country. The numbers provided by independent organizations like the Safai Karmachari Andolan point towards the underestimation of the figures by the government. Even the government data, provided in response to multiple questions in Parliament at different points of time is contradictory. If the government doesn’t know who the manual scavengers are, then their subjective and evaluative rehabilitation also becomes a distant reality. Moreover the government doesn’t consider sanitation workers who, everyday, enter sewer lines and septic tanks to clean them, as manual scavengers. How will the country start to solve a problem if they refuse to acknowledge it ? The paper aims to highlight the socio-legal problem of Manual Scavenging in India and the key highlights of the steps taken by legislature and judiciary to address the various problems being witnessed by them.
