Jammu and Kashmir High Court<\/strong>: A Single Judge Bench of Sanjeev Kumar, J., admitted the petition instituted for payment of wages at par with the persons doing a similar job.<\/p>\n

The facts of the case are that the petitioners were working as casual laborers in the respondent-department. They were getting lesser wages than other workers who were involved in similar nature of work and therefore, they contended that they were being discriminated.<\/p>\n

The Court held that firstly if the petitioners were working as casual\/daily rated workers with the respondent-department they cannot be denied the wages as provided under the Minimum Wages Act.\u00a0 At the same time, if the persons who were performing the similar duties\/work as were being performed by the petitioners got paid more, then the similar benefit could not be denied to the petitioners. The petition was thus allowed. [Nazir Ahmad Dar v. State of J&K,2018 SCC OnLine J&K 980<\/b><\/a>, decided on 12-12-2018]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
