    Summary of WP/474/2026 The Bombay High Court (Kolhapur Bench) dismissed the petitioner employer's writ petition challenging an Industrial Court order that found unfair labour practices. The court upheld the Industrial Court's decision directing the petitioner (a cotton spinning cooperative) to pay wage arrears and minimum wages to long-serving employees (engaged since 2006) who had been underpaid. The court rejected the employer's defenses of financial hardship, temporary employment status, and jurisdictional objections, holding that financial inability is no valid defense against statutory minimum wage obligations and that labor laws must protect vulnerable workers. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
