District Judge's Role in Appeals Under Payment of Wages Act
Subject : Labor and Employment Law
The Supreme Court of India has ruled that a District Judge deciding an appeal under Section 17 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936 acts as a Court and not as a 'persona designata'. This means that the District Judge exercises the powers of a Court while adjudicating such appeals and is not merely acting as an individual.
