I have a query regarding consequences to continue allowing a Security Agency to carry on working without Licence as required under PRIVATE SECURITY AGENCY REGULATION ACT 2005, what if any security guard while on duty receives serious injury or he Perishes while on duty then who will be responsible as The security agency is not Licenced, will the principle employer be held responsible if Yes then to what extent. Please give expert opinion with any recent judgements in this regard if any.

It is the duty of the Principal employer to ensure whether the security agency is licensed or not and if it violates its duty, the entire responsibility rests with it which cannot be shifted as this is like ccntract labour
