It appears that the petitioners are Parisudya Panivarala Sangams. According to the petitioners, they have entered into an agreement with the 3rd respondent-Municipal Corporation of Guntur for carrying out sanitation works and the members of the Sangams were being paid minimum wages as per the contract entered into, which existed till 31.3.2006. Thereafter, the contract is being extended from time to time orally. However, the grievance of the petitioners-Sangams is that their members are entitled for minimum wages as per the Minimum Wages Act and as per the Gazette Notification dated 27.1.2005 issued by the 1st respondent-Commissioner of Labour, but the respondents are not paying the minimum wages as required under the law. In fact, in this regard, the petitioners-Sangams made a representation on 14.5.2006 ventilating their grievance and seeking payment of minimum wages, but the same has not yet been disposed of. In view of the above, without expressing any opinion on merits, 3rd respondent is directed to dispose of the representation purported to have been made by the petitioners on 14.5.2006 and to examine the case of the members of the petitioners-Sangams for payment of minimum wages as contemplated in the said Gazette Notification and pass appropriate orders as per law, within a period of four weeks from the date of receipt of a copy of this order and communicate the same to the petitioners-Sangams. With the above direction, the writ petition is disposed of. _________ 26-06-2007 rkk
