Judgment : In this writ petition, the petitioner is challenging the award passed by the Authority appointed under the Minimum Wages Act, 1948 and Assistant Commissioner of Labour, Hyderabad-I, Hyderabad, in Case No.MW/31/97, dated 31.12.1999. The only contention of the learned counsel for the petitioner is that even before passing the order by the above referred authority, the petitioner and the union have entered into an agreement on 31.03.1999 and as per the said agreement, the Union has agreed to withdraw the case pending before the authority and in spite of giving that assurance, Union has not withdrawn the case and the authority has passed the order. There cannot be any agreement, contract or order against the provisions of any Act or law. The Minimum Wages Act, which is the Central Act or the GOs issued by the State Government have to be implemented by the authorities appointed under the Act. Neither the Management nor the Union or any Union Leader has any power or authority to enter into an agreement contra to the provisions of the Minimum Wages Act. Even if any such agreement is entered into before any Conciliation Officer, such agreement is void, illegal and cannot stand. Therefore, there are no merits in the writ petition and the same is liable to be dismissed. Accordingly, the writ petition is dismissed.No costs.
