State Of Haryana & Ors vs Charanjit Singh & Ors., Etc. Etc

The Supreme Court addressed the entitlement of daily wage employees to minimum wages under the pay scale of regular Class IV employees, as per the principle of 'equal pay for equal work'. The Court held that these employees are entitled to the minimum wage from the date of their appointment as daily wagers, not just from the date of their regularization. This decision was influenced by the Full Bench ruling and the precedent set in Surinder Singh & Anr. vs. Engineer-in-Chief, AIR 1986 SC P. 584, affirming the rights of casual employees to fair compensation.
