Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Sahara Employees' Plea for Unpaid Salaries
Imagine a big company called Sahara owes money to lots of people.
Some workers in this company haven't been paid their salaries for a long, long time.
They asked the country's highest court, the Supreme Court, to help them get their money.
The court said okay, we will listen to your problem soon.
The court also needs to decide if Sahara can sell some of its big buildings to another company to help pay back the money it owes.
So, the court is looking at how to help the workers get paid and also figuring out the company's money problems.
The Supreme Court will hear pleas from Sahara Group employees seeking unpaid salaries on November 17.
The court has agreed to list the interim applications of the employees for hearing.
Sahara India Commercial Corporation Ltd. (SICCL) has also filed a plea seeking permission to sell 88 properties.
