SONE VALLEY PORTLAND CEMENT CO. vs THE WORKMEN

The Supreme Court held that under the Cement Control Order, 1961, there is no legal basis for workers to claim a share in the higher payments made to producers for excess cement production. The Court clarified that the incentive payment is part of the price for the cement and does not constitute a bonus to be shared with workers. The Industrial Tribunal's award granting workers a fifty-fifty share of the incentive payment was overturned, affirming that without specific legislation or a management scheme for incentive payments, workers cannot claim such amounts.
