Article 14 & Equal Pay for Equal Work | Madras HC Grants Pay Parity to 20-Year Casual Postal Workers on Par with Regular Employees
Madras High Court rules that casual labourers working full-time for over 20 years in the postal department are entitled to the minimum pay scale and allowances of regular employees, reinforcing the constitutional mandate of equal pay for equal work under Article 14. The judgment impacts thousands of long-term casual workers denied parity despite performing identical duties.
