The learned counsel for the respondent-workman submitted that the respondent-workman had given a complaint to the authorities under Minimum Wages Act complaining that the petitioner is not paying minimum wages and the authority has entertained the complaint of the respondentworkman and numbered it as M.W.No.28 of 2002 and adjudicated the matter and passed orders on 7.6.2003, directing the petitioner to pay a sum of Rs.2,535/- towards the difference of minimum wages. Challenging the same, the present Writ Petition is filed.

the orders passed by the authority. There are no merits in the Writ Petition and the Writ Petition is accordingly dismissed. 6.
