    Case Summary: WP(C)/110/2025 - Village Guard Association of Nagaland v. State of Nagaland The Gauhati High Court (Kohima Bench) deferred adjudication for two months on June 2, 2026. The Village Guard Association challenged an Expert Committee report (dated July 4, 2023) denying equal pay to village guards compared with home guards. The court noted that a February 5, 2026 tripartite Memorandum of Agreement commits the Government of India and State of Nagaland to modernize village guards through restructuring, recruitment, and training with financial assistance. The court directed the state to file a status affidavit and adjourned the petition to August 17, 2026, observing that minimum wage payment is legally mandated and should be considered during implementation. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
