The Telangana High Court issued notice on a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed assailing the appointment of respondent as Chairman of Minimum Wages Advisory Board for the State of Telangana vide notification issued under GO Labour Employment Training & Factories (Lab-I) Department dated 24.05.2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adverting to Section 9 of the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 , Prabhakar Chikkudu ,counsel for the petitioner submits that the Chairman is required to be an independent person, which means that he should not have any party affiliation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, he has drawn attention of the High Court to the GO of Labour Employment Training & Factories (Labour) Department dated 05.12.2016 to show that petitioner was appointed as a member of the Board, being the State General Secretary of Telangana Rashtra Samithi Karmikha Vibhagam (TRSKV); now he has been upgraded as Chairman of the Board, which is contrary to the letter and spirit of Section 9 of the Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Prabhakar has also raised an issue that though there are a large number of women employees, there is no women member in the Board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While considering the PIL , the Division Bench of Chief Justice Ujjal Bhuyan and Justice N. Tukaramji issued notice to the respondents and posted the matter on 07.07.2023 for further hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
