Sc order upholding majithia wage board recommendations

Ashutosh Choubey (Querist) 28 February 2014 This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir,

The SC has upheld the Majithia Wage Board recommendations for Working Journalists and non-Journalists in its judgment dated 07 Feb 2014 and ordered the petitioner newspaper establishments to implement the revised wages w.e.f. April 2014 and to pay the arrears w.r.e.f. 11.11.2011 when the Central Government notified the recommendations.

Now I want to know from the experts as to what may be the penal consequences if a newspaper establishment does not comply the recommendations in view of the SC judgment and also what prosecution may be initiated against the establishment under the Working Journalists Act,1955 and the Contempt of Court Act,1971 by the Supreme Court for violating and non complying the Supreme Court order for implementing the Majithia Wage Board recommendations.

Any opinion can be formed only after examination of the issues taken up in the petition and the implications of the judgment.

In fact, yours is not a problem of casual nature to be solved on casual basis on the basis of a general query like yours. As a company secretary, better take proper consultancy by hiring servies of some expert by providing complete details of your company's establishment of journalists and non-journalists along with the copy of judgment for his examination and advice.
