Nagpur High Court Grants Relief to Hundreds of Ordnance Factory Employees in Risk Allowance Dispute.
The Nagpur Bench of the Bombay High Court has issued a significant stay on a circular issued by the Chanda Ordnance Factory regarding the recovery of “excess” risk allowance from employees. The factory’s circular, issued on December 24, 2024, sought to recover payments made since 2017 without providing the affected workers a fair opportunity to be heard.
Representing the petitioners, Adv. Vijay Wankhede and Adv. Ashutosh Wankhede of AVW LEGAL successfully argued that the arbitrary recovery was legally untenable. A division bench consisting of Justice Nitin Sambre and Justice Vrushali Joshi has stayed all coercive actions against the employees and issued a notice to the factory returnable by March 5. This ruling provides a crucial safeguard for the rights of over 680 employees under the 7th Pay Commission guidelines.
The Bombay High Court, Nagpur Bench, has issued notices on a circular from the Chanda Ordnance Factory that attempted to recover risk allowances from hundreds of employees without a fair hearing. Adv. Vijay Wankhede and Adv. Ashutosh Wankhede of AVW LEGAL secured this interim protection, preventing coercive financial action against the workforce.
