Karnataka High Court stays circulars withholding payment of salaries based on revised minimum wages for outsourced and contract employees

India's Karnataka High Court has temporarily halted government circulars that directed employers to withhold salary payments for outsourced and contract workers whose wages fell below the newly revised minimum wage rates. The court's order suspends the enforcement of the wage revisions until further hearing, allowing affected employees to continue receiving their existing pay in the state.
