Q.5 (a) Case study on M/s Mackinnon Mackenzie and Co. Ltd. v. Audrey D’Costa and other, 1987 — Equal Remuneration Act 1976 14
In the given case, a woman employee was discriminated while payment of salary as the employer contended that the lady was working as a Confidential Stenographer and is part of a different class. The woman was complaining that during the period of her employment, after the Act came into force, she was being paid remuneration at the rates less favorable than those paid to the Stenographers of the male gender in the petitioner's establishment for performing the same or similar work and claimed that she was entitled to recover the difference between remuneration paid to her and the male Stenographers.

The court rejected the plea of the employer that the woman was in a different class. It held, ‘If only women are working as Confidential Stenographers it is because the management wants them there. Women are neither specially qualified to be Confidential Stenographers nor disqualified on account of gender to do the work assigned to the male Stenographers. Even if there is a practice in the establishment to appoint women as Confidential Stenographer such practice cannot be relied on to deny them equal remuneration due to them under the Act.’ Therefore, the Court applied that the management is liable to pay the same remuneration to all the Stenographers on the same basis irrespective of their gender. The salary and remuneration payable to the lady Stenographers should be computed in accordance with the terms applicable to all the male Stenographers.
Hence Court applied The Equal Remuneration Act to grant equal salary to female stenographers.
