MAdras High Court ordered cre wto be paid their wages

The Madras High Court on Sep 18, 2013, ordered that Rs.2.25 crore were to be paid as wages to the nearly 25 crew members of the "Chemical Arrow" which was docked at the Port of Kakinada (Andhra Pradesh). The order on an application was passed in a civil suit to the applicants on board the motor tanker. The ship had been sold and the money was lying in the court, the application said. The crew was entitled to get their wages in U.S. Dollars. As per the Merchant Shipping Act, the wages should be paid till their last day of discharge. They were entitled to be repatriated to their respective countries as per the agreement. The crew’s claim should be decided only by summary procedure as it continued stay would result in its spending money for boarding and lodging.
