Case History
Summary of W.P.(C) No. 000288/1998 Note: The document provided contains Writ Petition (Civil) 122 of 1998 (Officers and Supervisors of I.D.P.L. v. Chairman and M.D. I.D.P.L.), not the case W.P.(C) No. 000288/1998 (M/S. Ganga Enterprises v. U.O.I.). The summary below addresses the document supplied. --- The Supreme Court dismissed IDPL employees' petition seeking pay revision and interim relief installments from 1996 onwards, holding that employees of loss-making government enterprises cannot claim wage revision when the company lacks financial capacity to pay. The Court ruled that economic viability and employer capacity to pay are essential considerations in wage-fixing, and since IDPL was a sick unit declared by BIFR with accumulated losses exceeding Rs. 600 crores and suspended operations, pay revision could not be mandated without government support, which was not permissible under SICA guidelines.
