The Act's protective purpose cannot be used to expand its scope beyond employments expressly contemplated by the legislature, and the power to add employments to the Schedule under Section 27 applies only to occupations already of that kind. As a result, educational institutions' teachers cannot be brought within scheduled employment for fixation of minimum wages, and the State lacks competence to fix minimum wages for them under the Act. en-us Fri, 12 Apr 1996 00:00:00 +0530 Wed, 09 Jul 2014 15:35:00 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=165222 Teachers are not covered by the Minimum Wages Act because they do not perform skilled, unskilled, manual or clerical work within the meaning of Section 2(i).
