A Division Bench of Supreme Court of India presided by the Chief Justice of India, Justice T S Thakur today granted four weeks to the counsel of Union of India to file final reply in the Supreme Court on the question of determining wages of Army Porters working in J&K.
Advocate Bhim Singh who appeared for the Army Porters working in J&K has been pleading for the fixation of wages for the Army Porters. Singh argued the porters are being paid less than the minimum wages though they are working around the clock to assist the Army along the International Borders and sensitive areas of Line of Control in J&K.
Thakur has asked the counsel for Union of India P.S. Patwalia to submit the final proposal before the court.
