Hindustan Sanitaryware And Industries ... vs The State Of Haryana

The Supreme Court upheld the validity of the Notification dated 27.06.2007 issued under Section 5(2) of the Minimum Wages Act, 1948, which revised minimum wages for various scheduled employments. The Court clarified that the classification of workers and the provisions for wage determination were consistent with the Act, emphasizing that the minimum wages must not fall below the prescribed rates. The appeal against the High Court's dismissal of the Writ Petition was therefore dismissed, affirming the government's authority to issue such notifications.
