S. Vasudevan And Ors. vs S.D. Mital And Ors. on 18 January, 1961

'Begar' may, therefore, be loosely described as labour or service which a person is forced to give without receiving any remuneration for it. This definition was accepted by a Divisional Bench of the Bombay High Court, in case titled 'S Vasudevan v. S.D Mital',AIR 1962 Bom 53' 'Begar' thus, clearly is a form of forced labour and all forms of forced labour are unconstitutionally prohibited by Article 23 of Constitution of India. This Article strikes at forced labour in whatever form it may manifest itself, because it is violative of human dignity and is contrary to basic human values. In the case on hand, the respondents are extracted services from the petitioners but are not paying them any salary/wages/remuneration for the same solely on the ground that their appointment is not genuine, thereby subjecting the petitioner to 'Begar', moreso, when there is no formal order declaring the petitioners as having been fraudulently appointed.

It is also well settled that salary is the property of an employee and that the right to receive the salary is a fundamental right of an employee as enshrined under Article 19 of the Constitution of India. In the case on hand, the only reason for non-payment of the salary in favour of the petitioners is genuineness or otherwise of the appointment of the petitioners. As already stated, the petitioners are discharging their duties in the respondent department and not paying them salary would tantamount to taking 'Begar' form the petitioners which, as observed hereinabove, in forbidden under Article 23 of the Constitution of India.
