Copy of Judgment

Summary The Labour Court partially allowed the gratuity application, directing the employer to pay Rs. 4,89,461 with 10% annual interest from July 1, 2020. The court rejected the employer's attempt to withhold gratuity based on pending criminal charges for alleged misappropriation, ruling that gratuity cannot be withheld without formal inquiry and employer order, and must be paid upon retirement. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
