An Extraordinary Gazette notification which was released earlier increasing daily wage of plantation workers to Rs 1700 was revoked by Labour Ministry by issuing a fresh gazette notification.
Accordingly, the new gazette indicated that the wage payments would be made through Wages Board.
The earlier gazette notification set the minimum daily wage of a plantation worker at Rs. 1,350, together with an allowance of Rs. 300 and another allowance of Rs. 80.
However, 21 plantation companies had filed a petition seeking a writ order invalidating the gazette notification issued by the Minister of Labor stipulating a minimum daily wage for plantation workers.
