HYDERABAD:  The Hyderabad-based Forum Against Corruption (FAC) has filed a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) at Telangana High Court against alleged irregularities in the way labour laws are being implemented in the State in terms of payment for over time, notice period, non payment of salaries etc.

Plea has dragged Accenture, Cognizant, Caspex Technologies and TS Principal Secretary and labour commissioner to the Court stating that the employees are being exploited to work for longer hours without actual payment of dues.
