STATE OF RAJASTHAN & ANOTHER vs HARI RAM NATHWANI & ORS.

The Supreme Court examined the constitutionality of the Wage Committee and Advisory Board under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, specifically Sections 5(1)(a), 7, and 9. The Court held that the appointment of government officers as independent members does not invalidate the committee's constitution, as the government was not an employer in the Mica Mines. The High Court's ruling was overturned, affirming the validity of the wage fixation process followed by the State Government.
