RAJENDRA DEVA vs HARI FERTILIGERS

The Supreme Court addressed the interpretation of 'wages' under Section 2(vi) of the Payment of Wages Act, 1936, in relation to minimum bonus under Section 10 of the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965. The Court held that the question of whether minimum bonus qualifies as wages was left open for future determination, as the petitioner had already received the ordered amount of Rs.3,860/- with interest. The Court dismissed the writ petition, affirming that the previous order was final regarding the payment made to the petitioner and did not warrant further consideration.
