The document summarizes a Supreme Court of India case on the fixation of minimum wages under the Minimum Wages Act of 1948. It discusses that the appellant Lingegowd Detective & Security Chamber challenged orders passed by an authority under the Act, as their employment of providing security personnel was not a scheduled employment. The single judge court allowed the writ petitions, but directed payment of ex-gratia to workers. The division bench set aside this order, but the Supreme Court restored the single judge's order, finding that detective services were not a scheduled employment and the appellant had no liability to pay minimum wages.
