India's former high commissioner to Australia must pay penalty to domestic worker who earned less than $10 a day for a year's workThe Federal Court has ordered India's former high commissioner to Australia Navdeep Suri Singh to repay a domestic worker who he had paid less than $10 a day.
The penalty comes on top of a previous order that required Navdeep Suri Singh to repay Seema Shergill about $136,000, plus interest, for work she completed at the then-high commissioner's residence in Canberra. The money was paid into an Indian bank account which Ms Shergill did not have access to while in Australia.
Justice Raper said Mr Suri had not engaged with the proceedings at any point and had shown "no evidence of any cooperation or remorse".
