Judgment
JUDGMENT: (Per Shri Anil R. Dave, CJ) The 1st respondent-Labour Union had filed W.P.No.9384 of 1997 as it was aggrieved by recovery effected by the appellant herein, who was Respondent No.1 in the petition. After hearing the learned Advocates, the learned Single Judge disposed of the Petition by giving a direction to the appellant- University to examine the amount of wages payable to the members of the Union and the amount actually paid. The University has been directed to pass a detailed order within a period of three months from the date of the order. The appellant-University is aggrieved by the said order and has, therefore, filed the present appeal. It has been submitted by the learned Advocate appearing for the appellant that some amount was paid prior to 1st December 1994 by way of interim relief though it was not payable or in other words, the amount which was paid by way of interim relief was in excess of the amount payable under the provisions of the Minimum Wages Act,
Operative part
1948. The said excess amount was required to be deducted and, therefore, the recovery was effected. Upon hearing the learned Advocates and looking to the facts, we find that the learned Single Judge has passed a just and proper order. However, we clarify the fact that if during the period commencing from 1st December 1994 to 19.2.1996, if any amount was adjusted towards interim relief paid to the members of the Union for the period prior to the aforesaid period, the said amount would also to be taken into account and appropriate detailed order shall be passed by the appellant-University. We are sure that the University will take into account all payments made in the past as well during the aforesaid period, before passing a speaking order. Looking to the fact that the appeal has been filed by the appellant-University, we grant further time of two months from the date of receipt of a copy of this order by the University for complying with the directions. Subject to above direction, the appeal stands disposed of with no order as to costs. ANIL R. DAVE, CJ GOPALA KRISHNA TAMADA, J DATE: 28-01-2008 CVM
