DILBAGH RAI JARRY vs UNION OF INDIA AND OTHERS

The Supreme Court held that under Section 15(2) of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, limitation for filing a claim can commence either from the date of deduction of wages or from the date when wages were due. The Court clarified that these two starting points are distinct and should be interpreted as such, allowing the appellant's claim for back wages to be considered timely. The Court ruled in favor of the appellant, reversing the Appellate Authority's decision that deemed the claim time-barred.
