Minimum Wage Laws and Judiciary

Dr. Nandkishor K. Ramteke’s Minimum Wage Laws & Judiciary examines one of the most socially significant areas of labour law — the guarantee of a minimum wage — and the central role the courts have played in shaping it. The book traces the concept of the minimum, fair and living wage, the constitutional foundations in Articles 23, 39 and 43, and the statutory framework from the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 through to its consolidation under the Code on Wages, 2019. It explains the machinery for fixation and revision of minimum rates, the obligations of employers, enforcement and penalties, and the remedies available to workers.

Its distinctive focus is the judiciary: the leading decisions of the Supreme Court and High Courts that have defined a “minimum wage,” tested wage notifications against constitutional guarantees, and balanced the interests of labour and industry. The 2026 first edition reflects the current position under the new labour codes. A focused resource for labour-law papers, judiciary aspirants and practitioners in labour and industrial courts.
