Can a court interfere in respect of a notification fixing the minimum wages ? Discuss citing relevant case laws.
Answer & Explanation:
In the case of Mangalore Ganesh Beedi And Allied Beedi ... vs State Of Karnataka And Ors. on 3 June, 2003 , the Court summarized the law on the limitations on interference with the fixation of rates of minimum wages in writ jurisdiction under Article 226 of the Constitution of India. This Court held that it is well-settled that the notification fixing the minimum wages cannot lightly be interfered with by the High Court under Article 226 and that the High Court can interfere with such notification only where it finds the concerned appropriate Government has exceeded its jurisdiction and/or acted ultra vires the provisions of the Act.
