    Summary The High Court of Bombay (Kolhapur Bench) dismissed a batch of writ petitions filed by Swami Ramanand Bharti Sahakari Soot Girani Ltd., a textile cooperative, challenging Industrial Court orders that found unfair labour practices under the Maharashtra Recognition of Trade Unions and Prevention of Unfair Labour Practices Act, 1971. The court upheld the Industrial Court's award directing the employer to pay wage differential arrears and 6% interest to employees who had worked since 2006 but received wages (Rs. 240/day) below the statutory minimum wage. The court rejected the employer's claims of financial hardship and temporary employment status, holding that financial inability is not a valid defense for minimum wage violations and that the employees' continuous 20-year service negated claims of casual work. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
