SC to examine Uttarakhand sugar mills’ pay cut row after workers challenge HC ruling

The Supreme Court is reviewing alleged salary and benefit cuts for sugar mill workers in Uttarakhand, challenging a High Court decision that upheld a 2018 payscale revision. Trade unions argue the revision is arbitrary, discriminatory, and unlawfully suspended benefits conferred in 2016. The court has sought responses from the Uttarakhand government and related authorities.
