Smt Hirabai Asaram Mote vs The Director General (WALMI) — 10/2025

Summary The Labour Court at Aurangabad partly allowed the application of nine workers against the Water and Land Management Institute (WALMI) under Section 33-C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, ordering payment of Rs. 97,000 per applicant with 7% annual interest from the filing date. The court found that the applicants, who worked as daily-wage laborers from 1985 without holidays before being made permanent in 1996-1997, had a pre-existing right to compensation for uncompensated holiday wages, which WALMI itself had acknowledged in a 2012 representation to the government requesting Rs. 1.5 crores for 155 similarly-situated workers.
