ONGC Labour Union v. Union of India – SLP(C) No. 3628/2008 On 13 September 2010, the Supreme Court disposed of the petition, modifying the High Court's interim wage order. The Court found it unreasonable to freeze wages without considering Minimum Wages Act revisions and directed that the three currently engaged workers receive wages per ONGC unskilled worker rates: Rs.215/day (effective October 1, 2005) and Rs.250/day (effective October 1, 2005). The Court deferred to the High Court the question of payment to workers who retired during proceedings and did not opine on whether the workers were ONGC employees or Gram Rakshak Dal members.
