Judgment text excerpt
The Supreme Court upheld the interim order of the High Court regarding the payment of wages to workmen under Section 17B of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court clarified that the management must pay the workmen Rs. 2500/- per month during the pendency of the writ petition, as they would not be called to work. The Court directed the High Court to expedite the disposal of the pending writ petition within four months, thereby ensuring the workmen's financial support while the case is unresolved.
