 The Supreme Court has ordered the Sindh government to lower the minimum wage

The Supreme Court (SC) of Pakistan has suspended the Supreme Court of Sindh (SHC) and the Sindh government's decision on the minimum wage in the province.

In a July announcement, the provincial government raised the minimum wage by Rs. 17,500 to Rs. 25,000 for uneducated, youth and adult workers in industrial / commercial facilities.

The three-member bank, led by President Atou Bandial, ruled in a detailed decision that the Sindh government had violated its authority by issuing a statement last year.

"Given the provisions of the law (Sindh Minimum Wages Act 2015) and the purpose behind it, we see that the government has gone beyond its powers to violate minimum wage council regulations and issue notices without legal authorization." Judge Syed Mansoor Ali Shah declared and revoked the SHC order approving the Sindh government's move.

The Supreme Court said it was influenced by the provincial government's interest in the welfare of workers. However, the change in the minimum wage must be made in accordance with the policy and mechanism prescribed by law.

"The government cannot violate the provisions of the law and rise to the duty it has imposed on it," he said, adding that the government could not "repeal the mandate given by the legislature," no matter how noble it was. soccer goal. '

"The law imposes a government responsible for setting the minimum wage in certain industrial activities. The government is aware of the circumstances that require a minimum wage and sets in motion the referral of the minimum wage as a minimum wage by the council under § 4 of the law or council order according to § 5 of the Act, the government then accepts the recommendations for the above-mentioned salary tariffs with or without exceptions or changes or sends them back for discussion.

The judge stated that as soon as the Council submitted the recommendation, the government must act in the manner defined in § 6 of the Act.
