The Working Journalists and Other Newspaper Employees (Conditions of Service) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955 (hereinafter for short ‘the Act’) was enacted to regulate the conditions of service of working journalists and other persons employed in newspaper establishments throughout the country. The Act is a comprehensive piece of legislation dealing with, inter alia, entitlement to gratuity, hours of work, leave as well as fixation of

5 wages payable both to the working journalists and non-journalist newspaper employees, as may be. So far as fixation and revision of wages is concerned, Section 9 of the Act has left such fixation or revision of wages in respect of working journalists to be dealt with by a Wage Board constituted thereunder. The recommendations of the Wage Board, if accepted, are to be notified by the Central Government under Section 12 of the Act. Section 13 of the Act provides that upon coming into operation of the Order of the Central Government under Section 12 every working journalist will be entitled to be paid wages at the rate not less than what is specified in the Order. Chapter IIA of the Act contains pari materia provisions with regard to non-journalist employees of newspaper establishments. 2. Section 16 of the Act provides that the provisions thereof “ shall have effect notwithstanding anything inconsistent therewith contained in any other law or in the terms of any award, agreement or contract of service, whether made before or after the commencement of this

6 Act.” The proviso to Sub-section (1) of Section 16 and Sub-section (2) would require a specific notice and are, therefore, being extracted below. Proviso to Sub-Section (1) Section 16 “ Provided that where under any such award, agreement, contract of service or otherwise, a newspaper employee is entitled to benefits in respect of any matter which are more favourable to him than those to which he would be entitled under this Act, the newspaper employee shall continue to be entitled to the more favourable benefits in respect of that matter, notwithstanding that he receives benefits in respect of other matters under this Act. Sub-Section 2 of Section 16 (2) Nothing contained in this Act shall be construed to preclude any newspaper employee from entering into an agreement with an employer for granting him rights or privileges in respect of any matter which are more favourable to him than those to which he would be entitled under this Act.” 3. Section 16A imposes an embargo on the employer for discharging or dismissing any employee “ by reason of his liability for payment of wages to newspaper employees at the rates specified in an order of the Central Government under section 12, or under section 12 read with section 13AA or section 13DD ”. 4. Section 17 of the Act deals with r ecovery of money due from an employer. As a core issue on the

7 maintainability of the present contempt cases centers around the remedy provided for by the aforesaid provision of the Act, Section 17 of the Act may be set out hereunder. “ 17.(1) Where any amount is due under this Act to a newspaper employee from an employer, the newspaper employee himself, or any person authorised by him in writing in this behalf, or in the case of the death of the employee, any member of his family may, without prejudice to any other mode of recovery, make an application to the State Government for the recovery of the amount due to him, and if the State Government, or such authority, as the State Government may specify in this behalf, is satisfied that any amount is so due, it shall issue a certificate for that amount to the Collector, and the Collector shall proceed to recover that amount in the same manner as an arrear of land revenue. (2) If any question arises as to the amount due under this Act to a newspaper employee from his employer, the State Government may, on its own motion or upon application made to it, refer the question to any Labour Court constituted by it under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 (14 of 1947), or under any corresponding law relating to investigation and settlement of industrial disputes in force in the State and the said Act or law shall have effect in relation to the Labour Court as if the question so referred were a matter referred to the Labour Court for adjudication under that Act or law, (3) The decision of the Labour Court shall be forwarded by it to the State Government which made the reference and any amount found due by the Labour Court may be recovered in the manner provided in sub-section (1).

8 5. Section 17B of the Act provides for appointment of Inspectors to ensure compliance with the various provisions of the Act. 6. The Central Government in exercise of its powers under Sections 9 and 13C had constituted two Wage Boards on 24.05.2007 under the Chairmanship of one Dr. Justice Narayana Kurup (retired Acting Chief Justice of the High Court of Madras) to determine the wages to be paid to working journalists and non-journalist employees. As Justice Kurup resigned from the post of Chairman on 31.7.2008, Justice G.R. Majithia (retired Judge of the Bombay High Court) was appointed as Chairman of the two Wage Boards on 04.03.2009. The Wage Boards headed by Justice Majithia (hereinafter referred to as the “Majithia Wage Board”) submitted its recommendations to the Central Government on 31.12.2010. The same were accepted by the Central Government on 25.10.2011 and a Notification to the said effect, under Section 12 of the Act, was published on 11.11.2011. 7. Even before the Government Notification under Section

9 12 of the Act was published on 11.11.2011 various newspaper establishments affected by the Majithia Wage Board Award had challenged the recommendations of the Wage Board by filing writ petitions before this Court under Article 32 of the Constitution of India, the lead case being Writ Petition (C) No. 246 of 2011. During the pendency of the writ petitions the Notification dated 11.11.2011 under Section 12 of the Act came to be issued which was brought under challenge by amendments to the writ petitions. 8. The challenge in the aforesaid writ petitions, inter alia, was on the basis that the Act including the amendment thereto made in the year 1974 was constitutionally invalid and further that the constitution of the Wage Boards was contrary to the statutory provisions contained in the Act. The procedure adopted by the Wage Boards in determining the wages of working journalists as well as non-journalist employees was erroneous and faulty requiring interference of the Court.

10 9. The aforesaid Writ petitions challenging the Wage Board recommendations as well as the Notification dated 11.11.2011 accepting the said recommendations were negatived by this Court by its judgment and order dated 07.02.2014. It will be necessary at this stage to summarize the following conclusions of the Court in its judgment dated 07.02.2014 while dismissing the writ petitions in question. “ (i) After having exhaustively gone through the record of proceedings and various written communications, we are fully satisfied that the Majithia Wage Board proceedings had been conducted and carried out in a legitimate approach and no decision of the Wage Board is perceived to having been taken unilaterally or arbitrarily. Rather all decisions were reached in a coherent manner in the presence of all the Wage Board members after having processed various statistics and we find no irregularity in the procedure adopted by the impugned Wage Boards. (ii) After perusing the relevant documents, we are satisfied that comprehensive and detailed study has been carried out by the Wage Board by collecting all the relevant material information for the purpose of the Wage Revision. The recommendations are arrived at after weighing the pros and cons of various methods in the process and principles of the Wage Revision in the modern era. It cannot be held that the wage structure recommended by the Majithia Wage Board is unreasonable. (iii) We have carefully scrutinized all the details. It is clear that the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission have not been blindly imported/relied upon by the Majithia Wage Board. The concept of ‘variable pay’ contained in the recommendations of the Sixth Central Pay Commission has been incorporated into the Wage Board recommendations only to ensure that the wages of the

11 newspaper employees are at par with those employees working in other Government sectors. Such incorporation was made by the Majithia Wage Board after careful consideration, in order to ensure equitable treatment to employees of newspaper establishments, and it was well within its rights to do so. (iv) Accordingly, we hold that the recommendations of the Wage Boards are valid in law, based on genuine and acceptable considerations and there is no valid ground for interference under Article 32 of the Constitution of India. Consequently, all the writ petitions are dismissed. (v) In view of our conclusion and dismissal of all the writ petitions, the wages as revised/ determined shall be payable from 11.11.2011 when the Government of India has notified the recommendations of the Majithia Wage Boards. All the arrears up to March, 2014 shall be paid to all eligible persons in four equal installments within a period of one year from today and continue to pay the revised wages from April, 2014. ” (Underlining is ours) 10. A look at the Majithia Wage Board Award would indicate that the Wage Board had classified newspaper establishments in different categories based on the average gross revenue of the establishments for the preceding three accounting years, i.e., 2007-08, 2008-09, 2009-10. Eight categories of newspaper establishments, based on the average gross revenue, were worked out and the working as well as non-working journalist employees were classified into different categories. The

12 recommendations were not only with regard to revised scale of wages and “variable pay” but also in respect of revised rates of dearness allowance, house rent allowance, transport allowance, hill area allowance (hardship allowance) etc. 11. At this stage Clause 20(j) of the Majithia Wage Board Award, which is one of the core areas of controversy in the present proceedings, may be specifically noticed. “ 20(j) The revised pay scales shall become applicable to all employees with effect from the 1 st of July, 2010. However, if an employee within three weeks from the date of publication of the Government Notification under Section 12 of the Act enforcing these recommendations exercises his option for retaining his existing pay scale and ‘existing emoluments’, he shall be entitled to retain his existing scale and such emoluments." 12. The Majithia Wage Board Award also specified that establishments which suffered heavy cash losses consequently in three preceding accounting years shall be exempt from payment of arrears, which is clear from Clause 21 of the Award extracted below. “ 21. The arrears payable from the date of enforcement of the Award, if any, as a result of retrospective implementation, shall be paid in three equal installments after every six months from the date of enforcement of the Award and the first installment shall be paid within three

13 months; Provided that the newspaper establishments, who suffered heavy cash losses consequently in three accounting years preceding the date of implementation of the Awards, shall be exempt from payment of any arrears. However, these newspaper establishments would be required to fix salaries or wages of their employees on notional basis in the revised scales of pay with effect from the date of implementation of the Awards, i.e., the 1 st July, 2010.” 13. Alleging that wages and allowances as per the Award of the Majithia Wage Board, duly approved and notified by the Central Government, have not been paid, the present contempt petitions (numbering 83) have been filed. Three(3) writ petitions under Article 32 of the Constitution, i.e., Writ Petition Nos. 998 of 2016, 148 of 2017 and 299 of 2017 have also been filed alleging arbitrary transfer and termination/retrenchment of the concerned journalists and employees, who claim to have demanded due implementation of the Majithia Wage Board Award. The above is the subject matter of consideration in the present group of cases. 14. Considering the issues involved and the large number of contempt petitions that had been brought to this

14 Court, different orders have been pronounced by this Court from time to time to effectively resolve the issues. Orders dated 28.4.2015, 14.3.2016 and 8.11.2016 which are extracted below would require a specific notice and mention. Order dated 28 th of April, 2015 : “ All the State Governments acting through their respective Chief Secretaries shall, within four weeks from today, appoint Inspectors under Section 17-B of the Working Journalists and Other Newspaper Employees (Conditions of Service) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955 to determine as to whether the dues and entitlements of all categories of Newspaper Employees, including Journalists under the Majithia Wage Board Award, has been implemented in accordance with the terms thereof. The inspectors appointed by the State Government will naturally exercise their powers as provided under the Act and shall submit their report to this Court through the Labour Commissioners of each State indicating the precise findings on the issue indicated above.” (Emphasis is supplied by us) Order dated 14 th of March, 2016 : “ We have also taken note of the various interlocutory applications that have been filed alleging wrongful termination of services and fraudulent surrender of the rights under the Wage Board recommendations to avoid liabilities in terms of the order of the Court. As such complaints received till date is substantial in number, this Court is not in a position to individually examine each case. We, therefore, direct the Labour Commissioner of each of the States to look into all such grievances and on determination of the same file necessary reports before the Court which will also be so filed on or before 12 th July, 2016. We grant liberty to each of the individual employees who have filed the interlocutory applications and

15 also such employees who are yet to approach this Court but have a grievance of the kind indicated above to move the Labour Commissioner of the State concerned in terms of the present order.” (Emphasis is supplied by us) Order dated 08 th of November, 2016 : “ For reasons we do not consider necessary at present to record the exercise of monitoring the implementation of the Majithia Wage Board Recommendations on the basis of the reports called for from the Labour Commissioners of different States stand deferred to a later date. Instead, it would be prudent and in fact necessary to decide certain questions of law which now stand formulated and have been submitted to the Court by Shri Colin Gonsalves, learned senior counsel, at the request of the Court. Once the legal formulations are considered and decided, further orders with regard to the mechanism to implement the Majithia Wage Board Recommendations will follow. ” (Emphasis is supplied by us) 15. On the basis of the aforesaid orders of the Court, several reports have been submitted by the Labour Commissioners of different States indicating the position with regard to the implementation of the Majithia Wage Board Award. The said Reports indicate that in some of the States, some establishments have implemented the Award in full, whereas others have so implemented the same partially. In some cases no progress in the matter

16 of implementation has been made at all. The reasons for non-implementation of the award or partial implementation, as may be, as evident from the reports of the Labour Commissioners can be identified to be four-fold which are indicated below. (1) As reported by the Labour Commissioners in some of the establishments, as per Clause 20(j) of the Majithia Award many employees have agreed to be governed by the wage structure which had existed before the Majithia Wage Board recommendations were accepted and notified by the Central Government. The issue of authenticity and the voluntariness of such undertakings, allegedly submitted by the employees, is also highlighted in the reports of the Labour Commissioner indicating that the same are being subjected to the adjudicatory process under the provisions of Section 17 (quoted above) of the Act. (2) The terms of the Majithia Wage Board Award are required to be implemented by the newspaper establishments only for regular employees and not

17 for contractual employees. (3) The element of “variable pay” recommended by the Majithia Wage Board and accepted by the Central Government are not required to be taken into account for the purpose of calculating other allowances like Dearness Allowance etc. (4) As per the reports of the Labour Commissioners submitted to this Court a large number of newspaper establishments have expressed their inability to pay the arrears in view of serious financial constraints. 16. The petitioners contend that the working journalists as well as the non-journalist employees are entitled to receive their wages as per the Majithia Wage Board Award once the recommendations have been accepted and notified by the Central Government under Section 12 of the Act. This, according to the contempt petitioners, flows from the provisions of Section 13 read with Section 16 of the Act under which provisions, the Wage Board recommendations, on being notified by the Central

18 Government under Section 12 of the Act, supersedes all existing arrangements including specific contractual arrangements governing conditions of service of working and non-journalist employees. The wages recommended by the Wage Board, as approved and accepted by the Central Government, is guaranteed by the Act to the concerned working and non-journalist employees. The wages notified can be departed only to adopt more beneficial and favourable rates. It is, therefore, the contention of the contempt petitioners that any agreement or undertaking to be governed by the previous wage structure, which is less favourable than what has been recommended by the Majithia Wage Board, is non est in law. That apart, contentions had been raised that none of the said undertakings are voluntary and have been obtained under duress and under threat of transfer/termination. The contempt petitioners, therefore, urge that the Majithia Wage Board Award to the above extent may be clarified by this Court. 17. Insofar as variable pay, contractual employees, and

19 financial capacity is concerned, it is the case of the contempt petitioners that all the above matters have been exhaustively dealt with by the Majithia Wage Board. The recommendations thereof having been accepted by the Central Government there is no scope for any further debate or controversy on the said score. The Wage Board recommendations, as approved and notified, would apply to all categories of employees, including contractual employees, who would also be entitled to variable pay and computation of all allowances by inclusion of variable pay. All employers are also obliged to pay the arrears from the stipulated date unless an establishment has suffered “heavy cash losses” in the three preceding accounting years preceding the date of implementation of the Award which is to be distinguished from mere financial difficulties, as may be projected by an employer. 18. Opposing the contempt petitions and on behalf of the newspaper establishments it is contended that the four issues, urged on behalf of the contempt petitioners,

20 identified above, have not been, in any manner, dealt with in the main judgment dated 07.02.2014 passed in Writ Petition No. 246 of 2011. It is, therefore, submitted that in the exercise of contempt jurisdiction, the judgment dated 07.02.2014 passed in the main writ petition cannot be amplified, clarified or “added to” so as to bring the alleged non-compliance within the four corners of limited contempt jurisdiction. As the four issues, crystallized above, does not form part of the judgment dated 07.02.2014 passed in Writ Petition No. 246 of 2011, it cannot be urged that any of the newspaper establishments are guilty of commission of contempt for allegedly violating or flouting the said terms/requirements which are now sought to be attributed to be a part of the Majithia Wage Board Award and hence contended to be a part of the judgment dated 07.02.2014 passed in Writ Petition NO. 246 of 2011 in respect of which disobedience is alleged. 19. The contours of power of the Court so far as commission of civil contempt is concerned have been

21 elaborated upon in a number of pronouncements of this Court. Illustratively, reference may be made to the following observations in the case of Kapildeo Prasad Sah vs. State of Bihar 1 . “ For holding the respondents to have committed contempt, civil contempt at that, it has to be shown that there has been wilful disobedience of the judgment or order of the Court. Power to punish for contempt is to be resorted to when there is clear violation of the Court’s order. Since notice of contempt and punishment for contempt is of far reaching consequence and these powers should be invoked only when a clear case of wilful disobedience of the court’s order has been made out. Whether disobedience is wilful in a particular case depends on the facts and circumstances of that case. Judicial orders are to be properly understood and complied with. Even negligence and carelessness can amount to disobedience particularly when the attention of the person is drawn to the Court’s orders and its implication. …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… Jurisdiction to punish for contempt exists to provide ultimate sanction against the person who refuses to comply with the order of the court or disregards the order continuously. …… …… …… …… …… …… …… …… No person can defy the Court’s order. Wilful would exclude casual, accidental, bona fide or unintentional acts or genuine inability to comply with the terms of the order. A petitioner who complains breach of Court’s order must allege deliberate or contumacious disobedience of the Court’s order. ” (Emphasis is supplied by us) 20. Similar is the view expressed by this Court in 1 (1999) 7 SCC 569

22 Ashok Paper Kamgar Union vs. Dharam Godha 2 , Anil Kumar Shahi vs. Professor Ram Sevak Yadav 3 , Jhareswar Prasad Paul vs. Tarak Nath Ganguly 4 , Union of India vs. Subedar Devassy PV 5 , Bihar Finance Service House Construction Co-operative Society Ltd. vs. Gautam Goswami 6 and Chhotu Ram vs. Urvashi Gulati 7 . In view of the consistency in the opinions rendered therein, it will not be necessary to burden this order by any detailed reference to what has been held in the above cases except to reiterate that the standard of proof required to hold a person guilty of contempt would be the same as in a criminal proceeding and the breach alleged shall have to be established beyond all reasonable doubt [ Chhotu Ram vs. Urvashi Gulati (supra)]. More recent in point of time is the view expressed by this Court in Noor Saba vs. Anoop Mishra 8 wherein the scope of the contempt power in case of a breach of a Court’s order has been dealt with in paragraph 14 of the report in the following manner - 2 (2003) 11 SCC, 1 3 (2008) 14 SCC 115 4 (2002) 5 SCC 352 5 (2006) 1 SCC 613 6 (2008) 5 SCC 339 7 (2001) 7 SCC 530 8 (2013) 10 SCC 248

23 “ To hold the respondents or anyone of them liable for contempt this Court has to arrive at a conclusion that the respondents have wilfully disobeyed the order of the Court. The exercise of contempt jurisdiction is summary in nature and an adjudication of the liability of the alleged contemnor for wilful disobedience of the Court is normally made on admitted and undisputed facts. In the present case not only there has been a shift in the stand of the petitioner with regard to the basic facts on which commission of contempt has been alleged even the said new/altered facts do not permit an adjudication in consonance with the established principles of exercise of contempt jurisdiction so as to enable the Court to come to a conclusion that any of the respondents have wilfully disobeyed the order of this Court …. ” (Emphasis is supplied by us) 21. Similarly, in Sudhir Vasudeva vs. George Ravishekaran 9 the issue has been dealt with in a manner which may be of relevance to the present case. Para 19 of the report is as follows. “ The power vested in the High Courts as well as this Court to punish for contempt is a special and rare power available both under the Constitution as well as the Contempt of Courts Act of 1971. It is a drastic power which, if misdirected, could even curb the liberty of the individual charged with commission of contempt. The very nature of the power casts a sacred duty in the Courts to exercise the same with the greatest of care and caution. This is also necessary as, more often than not, adjudication of a contempt plea involves a process of self-determination of the sweep, meaning and effect of the order in respect of which disobedience is alleged. The Courts must not, therefore, travel beyond the four corners of the order which is 9 (2014) 3 SCC 373

24 alleged to have been flouted or enter into questions that have not been dealt with or decided in the judgment or the order violation of which is alleged. Only such directions which are explicit in a judgment or order or are plainly self-evident ought to be taken into account for the purpose of consideration as to whether there has been any disobedience or wilful violation of the same. Decided issues cannot be reopened; nor can the plea of equities be considered . The Courts must also ensure that while considering a contempt plea the power available to the Court in other corrective jurisdictions like review or appeal is not trenched upon. No order or direction supplemental to what has been already expressed should be issued by the Court while exercising jurisdiction in the domain of the contempt law; such an exercise is more appropriate in other jurisdictions vested in the Court, as noticed above.” ( Emphasis is supplied by us ) 22. From the stand adopted by the newspaper establishments in the various counter affidavits filed; from the statements made in the reports submitted by the Labour Commissioners of different States from time to time; and also from the written arguments filed and the oral submissions advanced it is clear that part implementation/non-implementation of the Majithia Wage Board Award by the concerned newspaper establishments is on account of what the said establishments have perceived to be the scope and ambit of the Majthia Wage Board Award as approved and notified by the Central Government, the

25 challenge to which has been dismissed by this Court by judgment dated 07.02.2014 passed in Writ Petition No. 246 of 2011. The stand taken for what is alleged to be non-implementation or partial implementation of the Award, as may be, having clearly stemmed from the understanding of the Award of the concerned newspaper establishments in a particular manner, it is our considered view that the said establishments cannot be held to have wilfully disobeyed the judgment of this Court dated 07.02.2014 passed in Writ Petition No. 246 of 2011. At best, the default alleged has taken place on account of a wrong understanding of the Award as upheld by this Court. This would not amount to wilful default so as to attract the liability of civil contempt as defined under Section 2(b) of the Contempt of Courts Act, 1971. The default alleged though is unmistakably evident to us, in the absence of any wilful or deliberate intention to commit the same cannot make any of the newspaper establishments liable for contempt. On the other hand, they are entitled to one more opportunity to implement the Award in its proper spirit and effect in

26 the light of what we now propose to say. 23. The Majithia Wage Board Award has been approved by this Court by its judgment dated 07.02.2014 passed in Writ Petition No. 246 of 2011. The Award, therefore, has to be implemented in full. While it is correct that issues concerning, (i) Clause 20(j); (ii) whether the award applies to contractual employees; (iii) whether it includes variable pay and (iv) the extent of financial erosion that would justify withholding of payment of arrears has not been specifically dealt with either in the Award or in the judgment of this Court, there can be no manner of doubt that a reiteration of the scope and ambit of the terms of the Award would necessarily be called for and justified. This is what we propose to do hereinafter so as to ensure due and full compliance with the order(s) of the Court. 24. Insofar as the highly contentious issue of Clause 20(j) of the Award read with the provisions of the Act is concerned it is clear that what the Act guarantees to

27 each “newspaper employee” as defined in Section 2(c) of the Act is the entitlement to receive wages as recommended by the Wage Board and approved and notified by the Central Government under Section 12 of the Act. The wages notified supersedes all existing contracts governing wages as may be in force. However, the Legislature has made it clear by incorporating the provisions of Section 16 that, notwithstanding the wages as may be fixed and notified, it will always be open to the concerned employee to agree to and accept any benefits which is more favourable to him than what has been notified under Section 12 of the Act. Clause 20(j) of the Majithia Wage Board Award will, therefore, have to be read and understood in the above light. The Act is silent on the availability of an option to receive less than what is due to an employee under the Act. Such an option really lies in the domain of the doctrine of waiver, an issue that does not arise in the present case in view of the specific stand of the concerned employees in the present case with regard to the involuntary nature of the undertakings allegedly furnished by them. The

28 dispute that arises, therefore, has to be resolved by the fact finding authority under Section 17 of the Act, as adverted to hereinafter. 25. In any event having regard to the Legislative history and the purpose sought to be achieved by enactment of the Act i.e. to provide the minimum if not a fair wage to Newspaper employees, the ratio of the pronouncement in Bijay Cotton Mills Ltd. and Ors. vs. State of Ajmer 10 , holding wages notified under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 to be non-negotiable would squarely govern the wages notified under the present Act. Para 4 of the report in Bijay Cotton Mills Ltd. (supra) which deals with the above issue is extracted hereinbelow for specific notice. “ 4. It can scarcely be disputed that securing of living wages to labourers which ensure not only bare physical subsistence but also the maintenance of health and decency, is conducive to the general interest of the public. This is one of the Directive Principles of State Policy embodied in Article 43 of our Constitution. It is well known that in 1928 there was a Minimum Wages Fixing Machinery Convention held at Geneva and the resolutions passed in that convention were embodied in the International Labour Code. The Minimum Wages Act is said to 10 AIR 1955 SC 33

29 have been passed with a view to give effect to these resolutions. Vide –South India Estate Labour Relations Organisation vs. State of Madras 11 . If the labourers are to be secured in the enjoyment of minimum wages and they are to be protected against exploitation by their employers, it is absolutely necessary that restraints should be imposed upon their freedom of contract and such restrictions cannot in any sense be said to be unreasonable . On the other hand, the employers cannot be heard to complain if they are compelled to pay minimum wages to their labourers even though the labourers, on account of their poverty and helplessness are willing to work on lesser wages.” (Emphasis is ours) 26. There is nothing either in the provisions of the Act or in the terms of the Wage Board Award which would enable us to hold that the benefits of the Award would be restricted to the regular employees and not contractual employees. In this regard we have taken note of the definition of “newspaper employees”, “Working Journalist” and “Non-Journalist newspaper employees” as defined in Section 2(c), 2(f) and 2(dd) of the Act. Insofar as “variable pay” is concerned, as already noticed and extracted in paragraph 7 above, this Court while dealing with the concept of variable pay has taken the view that the said relief has been incorporated in the Majithia 11 AIR 1955 Mad 45 at p.47

30 Wage Board Award in order to give fair and equitable treatment to employees of newspapers. Therefore, no question of withholding the said benefit by taking any other view with regard to “variable pay” can arise. In fact, a reading of the relevant part of the Award would go to show that the concept of “variable pay” which was introduced in the Award stems from grade pay contained in the Report of the 6 th Pay Commission and was intended to bring the working journalist and non-journalist employees covered by the Act at par with the Central Government employees to the extent possible. So far as the concept of heavy cash losses is concerned, we are of the view that the very expression itself indicates that the same is different from mere financial difficulties and such losses apart from the extent of being crippling in nature must be consistent over the period of time stipulated in the Award. This is a question of fact that has to be determined from case to case. 27. Having clarified all doubts and ambiguities in the matter and upon holding that none of the newspaper

31 establishments should, in the facts of the cases before us, be held guilty of commission of contempt, we direct that henceforth all complaints with regard to non-implementation of the Majithia Wage Board Award or otherwise be dealt with in terms of the mechanism provided under Section 17 of the Act. It would be more appropriate to resolve such complaints and grievances by resort to the enforcement and remedial machinery provided under the Act rather than by any future approaches to the Courts in exercise of the contempt jurisdiction of the Courts or otherwise. 28. Insofar as the writ petitions seeking interference with transfer/termination, as the case may be, are concerned, it appears that the same are relatable to service conditions of the concerned writ petitioners. Adjudication of such question in the exercise of high prerogative writ jurisdiction of this Court under Article 32 of the Constitution would not only be unjustified but such questions should be left for determination before the appropriate authority either under the Act or under

32 cognate provisions of law (Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 etc.), as the case may be. 29. In the light of the above, all the contempt petitions as well as the writ petitions filed under Article 32 of the Constitution shall stand answered and disposed of in the terms hereinabove. ....................,J.

10 UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R All such Interlocutory Applications which have been filed for withdrawal of contempt petitions are allowed provided such withdrawal have been sought by all the petitioners who have filed the contempt petitions. Re: State of Uttar Pradesh All contempt petitions in respect of establishments in Uttar Pradesh which have been reported by the Labour Commissioner, U.P. to have implemented the recommendations of Majithia Wage Board are also closed. Office to verify and act accordingly. Insofar as other establishments where the recommendations of Majithia Wage Board have been partially implemented in Uttar Pradesh or are yet to be implemented, we deem it proper to lay down the following parameters for resolution of the question. In one of our previous orders, we have indicated that the large number of contempt

11 petitions, I.As and other miscellaneous petitions that have come before the Court has made it virtually impossible to consider each case individually. We had, therefore, thought it proper to authorize the Labour Commissioners of each State who is also the Statutory Authority under the Working Journalists & other Newspaper Employees (Conditions of service) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955 to do certain acts on behalf of the Court and directed Labour Commissioners of five States, namely, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Uttarakhand to be present so as to enable the Court to pass full and effective orders in the matters under consideration. We elaborate the aforesaid directions in the following manner :- (a) In respect of such of the establishments which have been reported by the Labour Commissioner in his affidavit/report not to have implemented the recommendations of Majithia Wage Board the detailed facts which had led the Labour Commissioner to arrive at the said conclusion be laid

12 before the Court after giving the affected party an opportunity of hearing. (b) The management of each of the establishments will be bound under the present order to furnish to the Labour Commissioner all such records, reports, documents and information that the Labour Commissioner deems it necessary to consider before passing apprppriate orders in terms of direction (a). (c) The Labour Commissioner may, if he considers it necessary, in an appropriate case, himself visit the premises of an establishment to satisfy himself as to the implementation of the recommendations of the Majithia Wage Board. (d) It will be open for each affected employee to lay before the State Government/Labour Commissioner, the details of the amount that he/she claims to be due under the recommendations of the Majithia Wage Board over and above the emoluments drawn by him. If such a resort is made to the State

13 Government/Labour Commissioner the concerned authority would be fully empowered to carry out necessary adjudication and pass consequential orders in terms of Section 17 of the Act. We direct the Labour Commissioner, Uttar Pradesh, who is present in Court today, to promptly initiate and complete the aforesaid exercise in terms of the present directions on priority basis and report back to this Court with his conclusions and findings within a period of six weeks. The matter will be considered again on 4 th October, 2016. Re: State of Himachal Pradesh We have perused the report/affidavit submitted by Shri Amit Kashyap, Labour Commissioner, Himachal Pradesh. Not only the same is sketchy, disclosing no material whatsoever to indicate the implementation of this Court's order accepting the recommendations of the Majithia Wage Board, we do not even find a mention of basic facts in the said affidavit. The affidavit/report has

14 been filed very casually and the Labour Commissioner has performed the task assigned to him in an unacceptable manner. The direction issued today in respect of State of Uttar Pradesh shall now be effectively complied with by the Labour Commissioner of Himachal Pradesh also. He will submit a report within four weeks from today and also remain personally present in Court on 4 th October, 2016 when the matter will be taken up. Re: State of Nagaland Shri L. Nungshiyanger Aier, Labour Commissioner, is personally present. The additional affidavit dated 26 th May, 2016 and a compilation indicating the emoluments due as per the recommendations of Majithia Wage Board and the emoluments drawn as on date have been duly considered. Shri Colin Gonsalves, learned senior counsel would like some time to go through the same and report back to the Court as to whether the recommendations of the Majithia Wage Board stands fully complied with in the State of Nagaland.

15 The matter will be now considered on 4 th October, 2016. The Labour Commissioner of Nagaland need not be personally present on the said date. Re: State of Manipur Shri Suhel Akhtar, Labour Commissioner of Manipur is personally present and has been heard. The directions given by this Court in respect of State of Uttar Pradesh shall also be implemented by the Labour Commissioner, Manipur and report of the action taken will be filed before this Court within four weeks. The Labour Commissioner, Manipur shall remain personally present in Court on 4 th October, 2016. Re: State of Uttarakhand The order of this Court dated 19 th July, 2016 has not been responded to by the State of Uttarakhand. Neither any counsel is present to represent the State nor the Labour Commissioner of the State is personally present in spite of this Court's specific order to the said effect. Notices

16 communicating the aforesaid order dated 19 th July, 2016 have been served on the concerned Authority of the State of Uttarakhand as evident from the Office Report. The matter be brought to the notice of the Chief Secretary of the State of Uttarakhand. The Chief Secretary shall be furnished with a copy of this order as well as the copy of the order issued in respect of the State of Uttar Pradesh to ensure due compliance in the light of the directions of this Court in respect of State of Uttarakhand.

reported by the Labour Commissioner, U.P. to haveimplemented the recommendations of Majithia WageBoard are also closed.Office to verify and act accordingly.Insofar as other establishments where therecommendations of Majithia Wage Board have beenpartially implemented in Uttar Pradesh or are yetto be implemented, we deem it proper to lay downthe following parameters for resolution of thequestion.In one of our previous orders, we haveindicated that the large number of contempt11petitions, I.As and other miscellaneous petitionsthat have come before the Court has made itvirtually impossible to consider each caseindividually. We had, therefore, thought it properto authorize the Labour Commissioners of each Statewho is also the Statutory Authority under theWorking Journalists & other Newspaper Employees(Conditions of service) and MiscellaneousProvisions Act, 1955 to do certain acts on behalfof the Court and directed Labour Commissioners offive States, namely, Uttar Pradesh, HimachalPradesh, Nagaland, Manipur and Uttarakhand to bepresent so as to enable the Court to pass full andeffective orders in the matters underconsideration. We elaborate the aforesaiddirections in the following manner :-(a) In respect of such of the establishmentswhich have been reported by the LabourCommissioner in his affidavit/report not tohave implemented the recommendations ofMajithia Wage Board the detailed factswhich had led the Labour Commissioner toarrive at the said conclusion be laid12before the Court after giving the affectedparty an opportunity of hearing.(b) The management of each of theestablishments will be bound under thepresent order to furnish to the LabourCommissioner all such records, reports,documents and information that the LabourCommissioner deems it necessary to considerbefore passing apprppriate orders in termsof direction (a).(c) The Labour Commissioner may, if heconsiders it necessary, in an appropriatecase, himself visit the premises of anestablishment to satisfy himself as to theimplementation of the recommendations ofthe Majithia Wage Board.(d) It will be open for each affected employeeto lay before the State Government/LabourCommissioner, the details of the amountthat he/she claims to be due under therecommendations of the Majithia Wage Boardover and above the emoluments drawn by him.If such a resort is made to the State13Government/Labour Commissioner theconcerned authority would be fullyempowered to carry out necessaryadjudication and pass consequential ordersin terms of Section 17 of the Act.

We direct the Labour Commissioner, UttarPradesh, who is present in Court today, to promptlyinitiate and complete the aforesaid exercise interms of the present directions on priority basisand report back to this Court with his conclusionsand findings within a period of six weeks. Thematter will be considered again on 4 th October,2016.Re: State of Himachal PradeshWe have perused the report/affidavitsubmitted by Shri Amit Kashyap, LabourCommissioner, Himachal Pradesh. Not only the sameis sketchy, disclosing no material whatsoever toindicate the implementation of this Court's orderaccepting the recommendations of the Majithia WageBoard, we do not even find a mention of basic factsin the said affidavit. The affidavit/report has14been filed very casually and the LabourCommissioner has performed the task assigned to himin an unacceptable manner. The direction issued today in respect ofState of Uttar Pradesh shall now be effectivelycomplied with by the Labour Commissioner ofHimachal Pradesh also. He will submit a reportwithin four weeks from today and also remainpersonally present in Court on 4 th October, 2016when the matter will be taken up.Re: State of NagalandShri L. Nungshiyanger Aier, LabourCommissioner, is personally present. The additionalaffidavit dated 26 th May, 2016 and a compilationindicating the emoluments due as per therecommendations of Majithia Wage Board and theemoluments drawn as on date have been dulyconsidered. Shri Colin Gonsalves, learned senior counselwould like some time to go through the same andreport back to the Court as to whether therecommendations of the Majithia Wage Board standsfully complied with in the State of Nagaland.15The matter will be now considered on 4 thOctober, 2016.The Labour Commissioner of Nagaland need notbe personally present on the said date.Re: State of ManipurShri Suhel Akhtar, Labour Commissioner ofManipur is personally present and has been heard. The directions given by this Court inrespect of State of Uttar Pradesh shall also beimplemented by the Labour Commissioner, Manipur andreport of the action taken will be filed beforethis Court within four weeks.The Labour Commissioner, Manipur shallremain personally present in Court on 4 th October,2016.Re: State of UttarakhandThe order of this Court dated 19 th July, 2016has not been responded to by the State ofUttarakhand. Neither any counsel is present torepresent the State nor the Labour Commissioner of

Notices16communicating the aforesaid order dated 19 th July,2016 have been served on the concerned Authority ofthe State of Uttarakhand as evident from the OfficeReport. The matter be brought to the notice of theChief Secretary of the State of Uttarakhand. TheChief Secretary shall be furnished with a copy ofthis order as well as the copy of the order issuedin respect of the State of Uttar Pradesh to ensuredue compliance in the light of the directions ofthis Court in respect of State of Uttarakhand.

UPON hearing the counsel the Court made the following O R D E R We have heard the learned counsels for the parties and perused the relevant material. Taking into account the large number of responses of the States and the Labour Commissioners thereof which have been filed in the last few days, perhaps in view of the deadline of 19 th July, 2016 fixed by this Court by its previous order dated 14 th March, 2016, it is necessary to have a comprehensive picture that emanates from the said responses/reports. Shri Colin Gonsalves, learned senior counsel who appears on behalf of some of the Employees' Union, has submitted that he would file a comprehensive report on all the issues involved in the case(s) so that effective orders can be passed by the Court. Learned senior counsel, Shri Gonsalves, is requested to do so.

12 On the next date fixed, we propose to take up the cases pertaining to the States of Uttar Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand in the first batch. The Labour Commissioners of the aforesaid States shall be present on the said date. The Court will hear arguments on the issue relating to clause 20(j) of the Majithia Wage Board Recommendations in the context of the relevant provisions of the Working Journalists and Other Newspaper Employees (Conditions of service) and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1955 and thereafter proceed to examine the issue of implementation of the Wage Board Award in the concerned State. The Labour Commissioners of the above-named States, therefore, are directed to ensure that all pending applications/issues before them are decided and appropriate orders as required are passed thereon so that the said authorities are in a position to apprise the Court accordingly. List these petitions on 23 rd August, 2016 at 2.00 p.m. In the meantime, State of Goa may file its response.

Registry is directed to list the cases on the top of the list on the said date. The reports submitted on behalf of the States of Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh and the Union Territory of Puducherry are taken on record and we have perused the same. Insofar as the States and Union Territories in respect of which reports have been filed and compliance of the order of this Court is partial, we make it clear that all concerned establishments which are yet to comply with the order of the Court would do so on or before the date fixed i.e. 19 th July, 2016. So far as the States of Uttar Pradesh(partial), Uttarakhand, Odisha, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Goa and Assam are concerned, we direct that the reports in terms of this Court's Order dated 28 th April, 2015 be filed on or before the 5 th July, 2016, failing which the Chief Secretaries of the States will appear in-person on 19 th July, 2016. Objections, if any, to such reports as may be filed shall be brought on record on or before 12 th July, 2016.

We have also taken note of the various interlocutory applications that have been filed alleging wrongful termination of services and fraudulent surrender of the rights under the Wage Board recommendations to avoid liabilities in terms of the order of the Court. As such complaints received till date are substantial in number, this Court is not in a position to individually examine each case. We, therefore, direct the Labour Commissioner of each of the States to look into all such grievances and on determination of the same file necessary reports before the Court which will also be so filed on or before 12 th July, 2016. We grant liberty to each of the individual employees who have filed the interlocutory applications and also such employees who are yet to approach this Court but have a grievance of the kind indicated above to move the Labour Commissioner of the State concerned in terms of the present order. " It is submitted that pursuant to the aforesaid order, certified copy of the order dated 14.03.2016 has been issued to all the concerned authorities/States for information and necessary action.

10 cases on the top of the list on the said date. The reports submitted on behalf of the States of Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh and the Union Territory of Puducherry are taken on record and we have perused the same. Insofar as the States and Union Territories in respect of which reports have been filed and compliance of the order of this Court is partial, we make it clear that all concerned establishments which are yet to comply with the order of the Court would do so on or before the date fixed i.e. 19 th July, 2016. So far as the States of Uttar Pradesh(partial), Uttarakhand, Odisha, West Bengal, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Goa and Assam are concerned, we direct that the reports in terms of this Court's Order dated 28 th April, 2015 be filed on or before the 5 th July, 2016, failing which the Chief Secretaries of the States will appear in-person on 19 th July, 2016. Objections, if any, to such reports as may be filed shall be brought on record on or before 12 th July, 2016. We have also taken note of the various

11 interlocutory applications that have been filed alleging wrongful termination of services and fraudulent surrender of the rights under the Wage Board recommendations to avoid liabilities in terms of the order of the Court. As such complaints received till date are substantial in number, this Court is not in a position to individually examine each case. We, therefore, direct the Labour Commissioner of each of the States to look into all such grievances and on determination of the same file necessary reports before the Court which will also be so filed on or before 12 th July, 2016. We grant liberty to each of the individual employees who have filed the interlocutory applications and also such employees who are yet to approach this Court but have a grievance of the kind indicated above to move the Labour Commissioner of the State concerned in terms of the present order.

The said reports would go to show that while recommendations of the Majithia Wage Board have been implemented in full by some of the establishments such implementation has been in part by other establishments whereas in the case of majority of the establishments the Majithia Wage Board recommendations remain unimplemented. There are certain other features, which are relevant to the subject matter, that are mentioned in the report of the Inspectors. A copy of the aforesaid reports be made

Such of the States in respect of which report(s) has not been submitted may do so within the aforesaid period of six weeks and a copy of the said reports as and when filed will be made available by the Registry to all the contesting parties without there being any further order in this regard by the Court. Response(s) to the said report(s) may also be filed by the contesting parties before the next date of hearing. It has been brought to our notice by the learned counsels for some of the contesting parties that in case of some establishments, details of which need not be specifically mentioned herein, employees have been retrenched/terminated and in respect of certain other establishments the employees have been forced/compelled to sign undertakings which were later on used as to make out declarations that the employees do not desire to be covered by the Wage Board recommendations. While the latter aspect of the matter is mentioned in the several reports of the Inspectors appointed under Section 17-B, the contesting parties will be at liberty to bring forward all materials in this regard and the establishments in question will,
