In deciding the second question the National Tribunal placed before itself the principles laid down by this Court in Express Newspapers (Private) Ltd. and Anr. v. The Union of India and Ors., [1959] S.C.R. 12 which had laid down the relevant criteria for the fixation of rates of wages for workmen and considered the evidence placed before it in the light of the said principles. It took into consideration the financial capacity of the various managements who were involved in the case, the prevailing conditions of service in Calcutta and other questions governing the determination of the fair wages. It also took into consideration the observations made by the Wage Board which for purposes of fixing wage rates had taken into consideration the relevant matters while making its recommendations with regard to certain categories of workmen working in the Calcutta Port. It found that almost all the managements who had given evidence before it were capable of bearing the financial burden which would have to be borne by them on account of the payment of fair wages to be fixed by it. It found that having regard to all the circumstances of the case that the fair wages and allowances payable to the bargemen with effect from 1- 1- 1976 should be the same as the fair wages payable pursuant to the recommendations made by the Wage Board.
