Your client's view is correct. As per the ratio decidendi of the judgment of the Supreme Court in AirFrieght's case the sum total of the industry wages should be equivalent to the sum total of the statutory minimum wages.But the components of the industry wages should not be the excluded ones mentioned in the definition of the term " wages " u/s 2 (h) of the MW Act,1948.
