Delhi govt to move SC against HC order on minimum wages
Delhi labour minister Gopal Rai on Monday said the Aam Aadmi Party government will approach the Supreme Court against the Delhi high court’s decision to quash its notification hiking minimum wages for workers by 37%. Rai said on Monday that Delhi HC order quashing AAP government order on hiking minimum wages will be challenged in Supreme Court. The court had on Saturday set aside the government’s March 2017 notification fixing higher minimum wages for unskilled, semi-skilled and skilled workers in the city on the grounds that it was unconstitutional. Rai said, “The committee which recommended revised wages was similar in constitution to a committee that had been formed for revision of dearness allowances.” The Delhi legislative assembly had initially passed The Minimum Wages Amendment Act in 2016 but it was returned by the Centre, which suggested some changes.
