P.W.D. KARAMCHARI SANGH vs STATE OF RAJASTHAN

The Supreme Court upheld the High Court's decision to remand the matter to the Labour Court for a fresh decision, while directing the respondents to pay 25% of the wages due to the workmen from the date of the Labour Court's award until payment. The Court emphasized the delay caused by the respondent's unfair stance and mandated that the legal representatives of deceased workmen also receive the arrears. The payment must be made within three months, failing which it will attract interest at 9% per annum.
