Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's award regarding wage revision, emphasizing that a revision is justified when there has been no change in wages for 20 years despite rising commodity prices. The Court clarified that the Tribunal must consider relevant factors and not compare dissimilar concerns. It held that the award's retrospective operation was valid, provided it did not exceed the Tribunal's jurisdiction or apply erroneous legal principles, thus affirming the Tribunal's decision to revise wages and dearness allowance.
