Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of part-time sweepers at the Bank of Rajasthan to scale wages versus fixed wages, as per the settlement between the bank management and the workers' union. The Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's award, which determined that sweepers working more than six hours a week were entitled to scale wages, while those working less were to receive fixed wages. The appeal by the Bank was dismissed, affirming the Tribunal's decision and the High Court's modification regarding interest under Article 226 of the Constitution of India.
