Bombay High Court Orders Maharashtra to Deposit Rs 27.91 Crore for Sinhgad Employees' Salaries
The Bombay High Court criticized Pune's Sinhgad Technical Education Society (STES) for years of unpaid dues to around 1,200 employees, describing the situation as unprecedented. The court ordered Maharashtra government departments to deposit Rs 27.91 crore within two weeks to cover pending salaries linked to fee reimbursements for reserved category students. STES cited financial constraints for delayed payments, while the court demanded detailed data on employee payments and warned of consequences for non-compliance. Further hearings are scheduled to address unresolved claims.
