KERALA PRIVATE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION vs THE STATE OF KERALA

The Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of the Committee set up under Section 9 of the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, for revising minimum wages for employees in private hospitals and allied institutions. The Court dismissed the appeal against the Kerala High Court's decision, which had previously rejected challenges to the Committee's formation and composition. The ruling confirmed that the Committee's structure, including equal representation of employers and employees, aligns with the statutory provisions of the Act.
