Paid weekly off for the labours

I have received a charge sheet from the disciplinary authority, alleging that I authorized the payment of a weekly off to notified laborers, despite the fact that the minimum rate of wages, as declared by the government, already includes compensation for the weekly rest day.

In circular it is mentioned that "Weekly rest day may be allowed to workers on Sunday and existing terms and conditions of admissibility of paid weekly off i.e., workmen should have worked for continuous six days in the week to get weekly rest as  per the provisions of the Minimum Wage Act will remain unchanged. It may also be noted that the minimum rates of wages include the wages for weekly day of rest as declared by the Govt." 

How can I defend this case. Please help me..

Without knowing the actual reason for levying penalty by the authorities or without perusing the orders no proper opinion can be rendered, hence you better consult an experienced lawyer in the local and proceed as suggested.
