Respondent/s ====================================================== Appearance : For the Petitioner/s : None For the Respondent/s : None ====================================================== CORAM: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KISHORE KUMAR MANDAL ORAL ORDER (Per: HONOURABLE MR. JUSTICE KISHORE KUMAR MANDAL) 5 11-11-2011 No body appears on behalf of the petitioner. Same is the case with the respondents. Petitioner seeks a direction upon the authorities of the respondent Mundeshwari Tourism-cum-Cultural Development Council, Kaimur at Bhabhua to make payment of wages to him for the period 1.12.1996 to 24.4.1998 and 1.1.2003 to 5.5.2004 which according to him, is Rs. 33,052.40p. It is the case of the petitioner that he was retained on daily wage basis as Night Guard/Barrier Agent. It is further apparent from the pleading made in the writ petition that the Patna High Court CWJC No.9531 of 2005 (5) dt.11-11-2011 2 authorities subsequently paid him wages @ Rs.500/- per month. Petitioner questions the calculation of the said amount. It is not as per the provision of Minimum Wages Act. In my view, if the petitioner has the said grievance, he may approach appropriate authority under relevant provisions of the Act. Based on pleadings on record, no relief can be granted. The application is dismissed with the observation aforesaid. PANKAJ KUMAR/- (Kishore K. Mandal, J)
