1 S.B.CIVIL WRIT PETITION NO.564/2008 Naresh Kumar Patidar Vs. State of Rajasthan & Anr. Date of Order :: 16th April, 2008 HON'BLE MR.JUSTICE GOVIND MATHUR Mr. V.N.Kalla, for the petitioner. .... By this petition for writ the petitioner is claiming for regular pay scale applicable to the post of Driver. The contention of counsel for the petitioner is that the petitioner is working with the District Literacy Committee since 2003 and is getting consolidated salary of Rs.2000/- per month only, thus, the petitioner, if not given regular pay scale, that will be in violation of Article 14 read with 39(d) of the Constitution of India. I do not find any substance in the argument advanced. The petitioner is working with the District Literacy Committee, Dungarpur, that is a society registered under the Societies Registration Act. Counsel for the petitioner utterly failed to point out any pay scales prescribed by the society for its employees including the Driver. The petitioner also 2 failed to point out any other driver working with the society getting the regular pay scale. The petition for writ, therefore, is having no foundation to allege any discrimination in payment of wages. The writ petition is dismissed accordingly. However, it is made clear that if the petitioner is having any grievance regarding payment of wages less than the minimum wages prescribed, he may approach the authority competent under the Minimum Wages Act or before any appropriate forum for redressal of his grievance.
