    WP 929/2026: Summary The Bombay High Court (Kolhapur Bench) dismissed a batch of writ petitions filed by Swami Ramamnand Bharti Sahakari Soot Girani Ltd. challenging Industrial Court orders. The Court upheld the Industrial Court's finding that the employer engaged in unfair labour practices by paying workers below statutory minimum wages despite their continuous employment since 2006. Financial hardship and claims of temporary employment were rejected as invalid defenses; the Court held that minimum wage compliance is mandatory and labor laws must protect vulnerable workers.
