SHRI AMBICA MILLS CO., LTD. vs SHRI S. B. BHATT AND ANOTHER

The Supreme Court held that the High Court has the jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution to issue a writ of certiorari to correct errors of law apparent on the face of the record, even if they are not errors of fact. The Court affirmed that the appellate Authority's interpretation of the clauses in the wage agreement was erroneous, as it improperly excluded the respondents from claiming wages under Clause 5 based on their classification. The Court upheld the High Court's decision to set aside the orders of the Authorities and directed a rehearing, thus negating the appellant's contentions regarding jurisdiction under Articles 226 and 227 and Section 15 of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936.
