Annexure P-6 is taken on record. CR No. 6620 of 2011 The present civil revision has been filed under Article 227 of the Constitution of India for setting aside the order dated 21.9.2011, passed by Authority under the Minimum Wages Act, Sirsa, vide which, the application filed by the petitioner for setting aside the ex-parte order, has been dismissed. Learned counsel contends that respondent Nos. 2 and 3 were employed as agriculture help. He further contends that the petition is not CM No. 27146-CII of 2011 in/and CR No. 6620 of 2011 (O&M) 2 maintainable, as the same being agriculture help is not covered by the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 (for short 'the Act). I have heard learned counsel for the petitioner and perused the case file. The claim is as per the Minimum Wages Act for the service rendered as agriculture help by the petitioner. Notice was served upon the petitioner and in pursuance thereof, he appeared before the Court. However, on subsequent date, for causing no-appearance, he was proceeded against ex-parte. Learned court's below has given sufficient reasons for declining the prayer of the petitioner. There is nothing on record that the absence was not intentional and deliberately. The present revision petition is dismissed being bereft of any merit. 25.11.2011 (JITENDRA CHAUHAN) gsv JUDGE
