The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Industrial Tribunal under Section 10(1)(d) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, affirming that the Tribunal must fix fair wages rather than minimum wages. The Court found that the settlements made by the workers with employers were not valid due to coercion and lack of proper agreement on dearness allowance. The appeals against the Bombay High Court's dismissal of the writ petitions were rejected, reinforcing the Tribunal's authority to determine fair wages as mandated by the High Court's earlier judgment.
