PLEADER SRI. ARAVIND BABU SC SRI. V.M. KURIAN THIS WRIT PETITION (CIVIL) HAVING COME UP FOR ADMISSION ON 28/05/2010, THE COURT ON THE SAME DAY DELIVERED THE FOLLOWING: ANTONY DOMINIC, J. -------------------------------------------------- W.P.(C) NO.16434 OF 2010 (D) -------------------------------------------------- Dated this the 28th day of May, 2010 J U D G M E N T Non-payment of minimum wages to the petitioner is what is complained in this writ petition. Though the Minimum Wages Act itself provides for machinery for redressal of these types of grievances, having regard to the pendency of Ext.P6 representation before the Ist respondent, without expressing anything on the merits of the submissions made, the writ petition is disposed of directing the first respondent to consider Ext.P6 and pass orders thereon, duly adverting to Exts.P2 and P5. This shall be done as expeditiously as possible and at any rate within 4 weeks from the date of production of a copy of this judgment along with a copy of this writ petition.
