Orders
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. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
