Q3) Principle 1: According to Article 14 of the Indian Constitution, every citizen has a right to equality before the law and equal protection under the law.
Principle 2: According to the Code on Wages Act of 2019, there cannot be any salary discrimination based on a person's gender.
Facts: Both male and female engineers are employed by DEF Tech, a well-known tech company in Bengaluru. Despite having the same credentials and job duties as their male colleagues, female engineers are paid 20% less on average than their male counterparts, according to an internal audit. The CEO argues that this wage structure has always existed at the company, which explains the gap.
A) No, as the organisation has consistently used this wage structure.
B) In contravention of the 2019 Code on Wages Act, alone.
C) No, as the pay structure is left up to the company's choice.
D) The answer is "yes," as it transgresses the Indian Constitution's guarantee of equality and discriminates against women in accordance with the Code on Wages Act of 2019.
Answers (1)
Despite having the same credentials and duties, there is a wage gap based on gender, which is in blatant violation of the Indian Constitution's guarantee of equality. Additionally, this wage discrimination on the basis of gender violates the 2019 Code on Wages Act's prohibitions. The past examples do not support such a violation. hence option D is correct option .
