Wearwell (India) Private Limited vs Ravi Kant Yadav on 20 February, 2019
13.The main purpose of the Act as discernible from its provisions is the
prevention of illegitimate deductions from the wages of employee
and delay in their payments. SectionÂ15 of the Act aims at the
accomplishment of this purpose and any adjudication necessary for
the fulfillment of that object is permissible. Where the relationship
of employer and employee subsists and is admitted, but there is a
controversy about the quantum of wages payable by the
Management to the employee, an enquiry into that question for the
purpose of determination of actual amount payable by way of wages
would fall within the orbit of the enquiry. Other similar or incidental
questions may also fall within the scope of such enquiry. However,
if the application for payment of full wages is resisted by the
Management on the plea that the applicant is not a workman or was
not its employee at any time then dispute does not come within the
RCA No. 62/2019
