GAURIBEN MOTIBHAI vs MORBI NAGAR PALIKA Advocate - G K BHATT — 54/2024

Summary The Labour Court at Morbi has upheld a worker's claim under the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947, Section 33(2), directing the municipal corporation to pay the employee Rs. 52,000 for unprovided uniforms (dress allowance) for the period 1995-2019, plus Rs. 1,000 as case expenses. The court rejected the municipality's defense that the worker was not entitled to the benefit, finding that municipal regulations mandated providing bi-annual uniforms and warm clothing every five years, which were never supplied.
