THE HON'BLE THE CHIEF JUSTICE SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA
AND
THE HON'BLE SRI JUSTICE A. RAJASHEKER REDDY
WRIT APPEAL No.574 of 2020
JUDGMENT: (Per the Hon'ble the Chief Justice Satish Chandra Sharma)
The present writ appeal is arising out of order dated
18.10.2019 passed in I.A.No.1 of 2019 in W.P.No.39928 of 2017
passed by the learned Single Judge.
The learned Single Judge has directed the respondent/State
to pay minimum of the pay scale to the writ petitioners, who are daily wage workers, keeping in view the judgment delivered in the case of State of Punjab and others vs. Jagjit Singh and others1.
Learned counsel for the parties have fairly stated before this Court that the writ petition is still pending and the learned Single Judge may be requested to decide the writ petition at an early date.
Resultantly, without averting to the merits of the case, the present writ appeal stands disposed of with a request to the learned Single Judge to decide the writ petition at an early date, preferably, within a period of six months.
Miscellaneous petitions, if any, shall stand closed. There shall be no order as to costs.
