    Summary The Calcutta High Court dismissed the writ petition filed by Sk. Yeasin Ali, an ex-employee claiming additional gratuity for the lockout period (March 1989-November 1994). The court held that as a badli (temporary) worker during that period who did not actually work for 240+ days annually, the petitioner was not entitled to gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, despite the lockout being beyond his control. The court also rejected his claim for gratuity from 2012-2015 (post-superannuation re-employment) as he had not completed a fresh 5-year continuous service period required for renewed gratuity eligibility.
