Dear Karthik,
Your narration of the case seems to me unclear.
Whether the orders directing the employer to pay the wages with compensation was a judgment passed by a Court or an orders u/s 20 of the MW Act, 1948 by the authority under the Act in a claim petition?
My presumption is that it must be an orders passed by the authority on a claim filed by the workman. In such a case, for recovery of the awarded amount, the workman should approach the same authority so that he can submit a request u/s 20(5)(b) of the Act to the Judicial Magistrate for the area to recover the same from the employer as if a fine imposed by the Court.
