Prasad and Advocate general Vijay Narayan from 2.15 pm, the bench made a proposal that the government could implement the 2.44 percent wage hike as agreed upon by the government already immediately and on such implementation, the transport workers could resume their work from today itself.
The disputes relating to 0.13 percent further wage hike and other issues could be heard later on the merits, the bench added.
