Description:
The present article is a critique on the judgment of the Indian Supreme Court in the case of Haryana Unrecognized School Association v. State of Haryana, where the Supreme Court has held that teachers of primary schools are not eligible to receive minimum wages as provided under the Minimum wages Act as they cannot be considered as employee as defined by the Minimum Wages Act under section 2(i). The author believes that such a judgment would cause grave injustice to the teachers and is of the opinion that a liberal interpretation has to be given to the definition of employee under the Act in order to bring in teachers also under the scope of the Act
