The provision is a summary recovery mechanism, not a forum with the procedural powers of a court or tribunal to decide contested issues of fact and law, so the authority had no jurisdiction to entertain the application at that stage. A challenge to the validity of section 17 could invoke Article 32, but the grievance against the interlocutory order did not itself enforce a fundamental right, so the petition was not maintainable on that ground. en-us Wed, 19 Mar 1958 00:00:00 +0530 Tue, 12 May 2020 17:22:59 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=287965 Section 17 of the Working Journalists Act is confined to recovery of money already found due by decree, award, or valid order, and does not authorise the State Government or specified authority to adjudicate the merits of a disputed employee claim.
