The agreed amount to that extent shall be paid by the Municipal Council to the petitioners and in case there is any dispute between the petitioner and respondent NO. 2, the Municipal Council shall be entitled to withhold the amount to that extent and thereafter the petitioners shall be at liberty to approach the Authorities under the Payment of Wages Act for determination of their wages.
