The basic points of challenge pertained to the notification being beyond the scope as prescribed by the Minimum Wages Act. The clubbing of allowances with the basic rate of wages and then terming them as Minimum Basic rate of wages was challenged as being arbitrary and contrary to section 4 of the Act. 
Besides the promotions prescribed, limiting of training to one year alone, extension of the Act to domestic workers and safai karamcharis, 100% neutralization etc were some of the points challenged. It was also challenged that the Minimum Wages Act does not interfere with the contract of employment, its ambit only extends to the enhancement of wages as defined by section 2(h) of the Minimum Wages Act.
The Hon'ble Bench comprising Justice Hemant Gupta & Justice Raj Rahul Garg, after hearing the advocates, has issued the notice of motion for 23rd February, 2016 along with Notice regarding stay.
