It also directs the landlords to not demand the payment of rent from migrant workers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">However, only Clause (iii) of the impugned MHA order is under challenge in the present batch of petitions. The said clause reads:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAll the employers, be it in the industry or in the shops and commercial establishments, shall make payment of wages of their workers, at their work places, on the due date, without any deduction, for the period their establishments are under closure during lockdown period.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>Hand Tools Manufacturers Association\u2019s case <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hand Tools Manufacturers Association is an association formed and registered under Societies Registration Act, 1860 and as amended by Punjab Amendment Act, 1957.
