    Court Decision Summary The Gauhati High Court allowed four writ petitions and quashed the Assam Fisheries Development Corporation's order withholding gratuity and other pensionary benefits from retired employees pending vigilance and ED investigations. The court held that mere pendency of investigation, without naming the petitioners as accused, cannot legally justify withholding statutory gratuity rights under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, and directed release of benefits within 30 days. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
