✦AI Summary
The Bombay High Court ruled that community health volunteers are entitled to minimum wages, rejecting the BMC's argument that they are merely honorarium-based volunteers. The court determined that the nature of their work and the level of control exercised by the municipality constitute an employment relationship.
The Bombay High Court has dismissed all petitions filed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on Friday (August 14, 2026) against an order that recognised community health volunteers as workers eligible for minimum wages under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948.
