Dear Friends
A Contractor worked from December 2005 to Aug 2009. Everymonth while receiving the payment he has signed in the bill. Every month he has submitted the Paysheet, Attendance and OT details which is of total Rs.2581000/- On December 2009, the same Labour Supply contractor filed a case under Payment of Wages Act in his own district ALC Office (Not in the work place where he undertook the contract job) which is not having the jurisdiction, stating that he and 60 other workers have engaged in construction activities at XXXXXX location. He worked for 90 Lakhs work and he got only 35 lakhs. The Balance amount may be paid to him.
As a matter of fact the contractor or any of his workmen never reported of any non payment of wages to anyone in construction Site. All time while receiving the Wages Bill, he has signed stating he checked and understood the bill is correct and no discripancies is there in bill.
What will be the consequences of the case. Can anyone throw some light on the issue???????
