The Supreme Court opposed the repeated refusal by the Rajasthan government to implement an award which was passed by the labour court in matter pertaining to a part-time worker in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A bench comprising of Justice\u00a0Vikram Nath\u00a0and\u00a0Justice Satish Chandra Sharma\u00a0said that the labourer had to keep litigating the matter for around 22 years as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bench called it extremely unfortunate that the State of Rajasthan has been harassing the poor litigant, who was extended benefits by the Labour Court in the year 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TApex Copurhe State’s appeal against a December 8 Rajasthan High Court order was dismissed by the Apex court, thus, dismissed in the matter while ordering the Rajasthan government to pay \u20b910 lakhs as costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The labourer was reinstated back to service by a labour court in 2001. The State’s plea challenging the labour court award was later dismissed by the High Court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order was passed and thethe labourer had to keep moving courts seeking the enforcement of the labour court award.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The High Court benches however upheld the payment to be made to the labourer by the State, leading to the instant appeal before the top court by the Rajasthan government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal which has ordered the State to pay \u20b910 lakhs as costs to the labourer within four weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
