JDA JAIPUR Vs. JUDGE LABOUR COURT

JUDGEMENT

(1.) SINCE identical questions of law and facts are involved in these ten inter-connected writ petitions, they were heard together and are disposed of by a single judgment. The petition are directed against a common order of the Labour Court, Jaipur passed on December, 7, 1987 in a proceeding u/s 33-C (2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (for short 'the Act' ). By the impugned order, the Learned Judge of the Labour Court allowed the workmens applications and directed the employer to pay fifty percent wages to them. Both, the workmen and the employer feel aggrieved by the said order. The employer is the Jaipur Development Authority, Jaipur, who will be hearinafter referred to as the JDA, or the Management or the employer.

(2.) FACTS first. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

(3.) IT was next argued by Mr. Mehta that the scope of Sec. 33-C 2) does not include a case of the arrears of wages withheld by the employer. We again find the contention ineffective and without substance. Section 33-C (2) is comprehensive and covers a case for the computation of the arrears of wages not paid to the workmen by the employer for one reason or the other.
