    The court allowed the writ petition and held that petitioner Bijoy Kumar Singha, employed by FCI from March 1989 until retirement on 31.01.2020, was similarly situated to a petitioner in an earlier related case (WPA 7603/2025) and entitled to identical relief. The court ordered FCI to pay statutory interest at 10% simple per annum on the delayed gratuity from retirement (31.01.2020) until actual payment (09.11.2023), with an additional 10% penalty interest if payment isn't made within 30 days, citing Section 7(3A) of the Payment of Gratuity Act which mandates interest without discretion.
