Director General Of Works, C.P.W.D vs Regional Labour ...

The Supreme Court set aside the Delhi High Court's order dismissing the Letters Patent Appeal regarding the entitlement of daily wagers to wages equivalent to permanent employees under the principle of equal pay for equal work. The Court noted that the High Court failed to establish whether the work performed by daily wagers was identical to that of permanent employees and did not address other claims such as allowances and increments. The matter was remitted to the High Court for fresh consideration, with a request for expedited resolution by July 2008.
