A reading of the passage clarifies that the power of the authority under Section 20(1) of the Act is to ensure that minimum wages are paid and in the context of Section 20(3) of the Act, the power is confined to directing the payment of minimum wages in case minimum wages are not being paid. In the case on hand, we have already indicated the factual position and the complaint was that the employer was not paying the minimum wages to his employees and what has been done by the authority is only to direct him to pay minimum wages and the difference between the minimum wages and the wages actually paid. The decision in the Manganese Ore (India) Ltd., AIR 1991 SC 520, related to the question whether the monetary value of the grain supplied at confessional rates and the amount paid as attendance bonus can be calculated and counted into the minimum wage payable to the employees under the notification issued under the Minimum Wages Act. In that context, their Lordships made the observation quoted by the learned Single Judge in his judgment. Their lordships relied upon the decision in Athani Municipality (supra). If our understanding of the ratio of Athani Municipality is correct, it is clear that in view of the question posed in paragraph 2 of the above decision, the question was held to be outside the remedy available under Section 20 of the Minimum Wages Act.
