State of Rajasthan and Others Date of Order ::: 31.03.2010 Present Hon'ble Mr. Justice Mohammad Rafiq Shri Anurag Shukla for Smt. Naina Saraf, Counsel for petitioner #### By the Court:- Grievance of petitioner is that even though he was appointed with respondent in the year 1987 and subsequently when his services were terminated on 18.08.1988, his writ petition declaring that order of termination to be illegal was allowed by judgment of this Court dated 11.05.1989. Respondents then again terminated his services by order dated 31.10.1989. On reference being made, the Labour Court by award dated 28.06.1997 directed his reinstatement with full back wages and consequential benefits. The writ petition filed by petitioner respondent against the award was dismissed by order dated 24.10.2005. Till date however respondents have not paid to petitioner even minimum wages prescribed for skilled SBCWP2815/2010 // 2 // labour which is Rs.150/- per day. He is being paid at the rate of Rs.18.50p. per day which is exploitation of a poor employee by the State. Upon hearing learned counsel for petitioner and perusing material on record, I find that in so far as payment of salary to petitioner at least at the rate prescribed under Minimum Wages Act to skilled labour employee, petitioner should first make representation to Director, Social Welfare Department, Rajasthan, Jaipur, who shall verify whether petitioner is still being paid wages at the rate of Rs.18.50p. per day or otherwise less than the minimum wages prescribed for skilled labour and, if on verification, it is found correct then pass appropriate order for redressal of his grievance in accordance with law. The representation so submitted by petitioner shall be decided within a period of three months from the date of its submission. Writ petition accordingly stands disposed of.
