If I fail my wage theft case in the United Arab Emirates, will I be able to fight the same here
in India? India has signed many treaties with the UAE. Why can’t they sign a treaty to handle
such wage theft cases too?
We know that India and UAE have collaboration in certain judicial matters. Why can’t they
have the same in wage theft cases too?
