SC push on wage board
On 28 April, the Supreme Court directed all state governments to appoint an officer within four weeks to conduct a survey on the implementation of Majitha Wage Board Award and asked for a report to be filed before it within three months. All the 42 contempt petitions have been kept pending till then. For other cases, such as the one pertaining to the Hindustan Times where journalists and non-journalists were victimized in the period when the Wage Board was set in motion, two different dates have been given: May 28 and June 1.
