    Case Summary: WP/855/2026 Court Decision: The High Court of Bombay (Kolhapur Circuit Bench) dismissed all writ petitions filed by Swami Ramanand Bharti Sahakari Soot Girani Ltd. challenging the Industrial Court's orders. The court upheld the Industrial Court's finding that the employer engaged in unfair labour practices by paying wages below the statutory minimum, and confirmed the direction to pay wage differential arrears with 6% interest. Key Reasoning: The court rejected the employer's financial hardship defense, noting that employees had rendered continuous service since 2006 and were entitled to statutory minimum wages under Maharashtra law. The employer's failure to comply with court orders despite repeated opportunities demonstrated lack of good faith and could not be excused. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
