**IN RE SUO MOTO V/s MCD**

16.12.2025

Present: Ms. Shivani Vasan, Counsel alongwith Ms. Anjali Khanna, & Sh. Devendra Gahtori, for the MCD

Record perused. This is the case where this Tribunal has taken *suo moto* cognizance of pendency of more than 7000 cases filed u/s 33C(2) of the ID Act against the MCD. In all the applications, claimants have made prayer to calculate their dues as per compliance of applicability of Fourth/Fifth/Sixth/Seventh Pay Commission. On 05.03.2025, this Tribunal had directed the management to create helpdesks in all its twelve zones which shall be supervised by Assistant Commissioner.

Thereafter, one Labour Union has filed a writ petition in the Delhi High Court wherein the order passed for creating helpdesks was continued.

In pursuance of the direction given by this court, about 51 applications for withdrawal of claim from different zones has been placed on record by Ms. Shivani. She has also placed on record the reply in 40 cases in which minimum wages have been sought by the claimant. Let these cases be placed before the undersigned on 18.12.2025 at 12.30pm.

It is also important to mention here that Sh. Rajiv Agarwal, ARW in some of these pending cases, insisted on marking his appearance herein. However, the *suo moto* cognizance is a matter between the court and the MCD only, so his attendance cannot be marked.
