Calcutta High Court: According to the first decision issued on December 19 of last year, it will provide roughly 4,000 daily wage labourers (DRMs) employed by the Andaman administration additional salaries and DA (dearness allowance).

Keshav Chandra, the chief secretary of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, has been placed on administrative leave, and Lieutenant Governor D.K. Joshi was fined Rs. 5 lakh on Thursday. Joshi will have to pay the punishment out of his own pocket.

In fact, the first order, which was approved on December 19 of last year, said that it would provide roughly 4,000 daily wage labourers (DRMs) employed by the Andaman administration additional salaries and DA (dearness allowance). Gopal Binnu Kumar, an attorney for the Andaman Public Works Department Labour Union, expressed his appreciation for the court's ruling in a statement to PTI.

I appreciate the court's judgement, he declared. The court held the administration, which is headed by the Chief Secretary and Lieutenant Governor, guilty of violating its order to transfer the benefit of 1/30th salary and dearness allowance to the DRM, which has been on hold since 2017.

"Details regarding the case" In Andaman and Nicobar Islands, there are around 4,000 DRMs (those who did not get benefits), and according to a Supreme Court ruling from 1986, DRMs are executing their tasks on par with normal workers who receive 1/30th wage and dearness allowance. eligible to receive an allowance's financial advantage.

The local government in this area published a statement on September 22, 2017, announcing that the DRMs would get a lump sum compensation and that they had chosen specific recipients. We brought the issue up in court when the administration reissued the letter. The remaining DRM will begin receiving their wage on May 9, 2023, not 2017, as stated in the letter. The DRM was required by the court to divulge wages starting in 2017. The case's subsequent hearing is scheduled on August 17
