U. Unichoyi And Others vs The State Of Kerala on 14 April, 1961
In M/s. Jaydip Industries, Thana v. The
Workmen,(2) this Court referred to the
observation in an earlier decision of this
Court in U. Unichoyi v. State of Kerala, (3)
as follows
"Sometimes the minimum wage is described as a
bare minimum wage in order to distinguish it
from the wage structure which is 'subsistence
plus' or fair wage, but too much emphasis on
the adjective 'bare' in relation to the mini-
mum wage is apt to lead to the erroneous
assumption that the maintenance wage is a wage
which enables the worker to cover his bare
physical needs and keep himself just above
starvation. That clearly is not intended by
the concept of minimum wage. On the other
hand, since the capacity of the employer to
pay is treated as irrelevant, it is but right

Greaves Cotton And Co. And Others vs Their Workmen on 14 November, 1963
"in the fixation of wages and dearness
allowance the legal position is well
established that it has to be done on an
industry-cum-region basis having due regard to
the financial capacity of the unit under
consideration........ industrial adjudication
should always take into account, when revising
the wage structure and granting
dearness
allowance, the problem of the additional
burden to be imposed on the employer and
ascertain whether the employer can reasonably
be called upon to bear such burden...... As
pointed out in Greaves Cotton and Co. and
others v. Their Workmen(2). One of the
principles to be adopted in fixing wages and
dearness allowance is that the Tribunal should
take into account the wage scale and dearness
allowance-prevailing in comparable concerns
carrying on the same industry in the region".
Bengal Chemical & Pharmaceutical Works ... vs Its Workmen on 16 September, 1968
Awards are given
on circumstances peculiar lo each dispute and the tribunals
are, to a large extent, freefrom the restrictions of
technical considerations imposed on courts. A free and
liberal exercise of the power under Article 136 may mate-
rially affect the fundamental basis of such decisions,
namely quick solution to such disputes to achieve industrial
peace. Though Article 136 is couched in widest terms, it is
necessary for this Court to exercise its discretionary
jurisdiction only in cases, where awards are made in
violation of the principles of natural justice, causing
substantial and grave injustice to Parties or raises an
impotant principle of industrial law requiring elucidation
and final decision by this Court or disclosures such other
exceptional or special circumstance% which merit the
consideration of this Court". Per Subba '.Rao, J. in
(Reneal Chemical and Pharmaseutical Works Ltd. v. Their
Workmen(1). None of the arguments raised by the appellant
should' be sufficient to persuade the Court to interpose
relief in its favour

Express Newspapers (Private) Ltd.,And ... vs The Union Of India And Others(And ... on 8 January, 1958
In Express Newspapers (Private) Ltd., and
Another v. The Union of India and Others(',),
this Court was considering in an exhaustive
judgment, inter alia, the concept of minimum
wage, fair wage and living wage and
approvingly quoted from page 9, para 10, of
the Report of the Committee on Fair Wages, to
the following effect
"We consider that a minimum wage must provide
not merely for the bare sustenance of life but
for the preservation of the efficiency of the
worker. For this purpose, the minimum wage
must also provide for some measure of educa-
tion, medical requirements and amenities".
