UNION OF INDIA . vs CONTROLLING AUTHORITY U/PAYMENT GRATUITY — C.A. No. 6430/2005

Summary: On 23 February 2010, the Supreme Court (Justices Markandey Katju and T.S. Thakur) dismissed Union of India's civil appeal against the Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, leaving the question of law open. The Court noted that the appeal against respondent M.R. Shivappa had already been dismissed on 16 November 2006, and since the remaining respondent was a quasi-judicial authority rather than a contesting party, dismissal was appropriate. No costs were awarded. This case analysis is maintained by casestatus.in based on publicly available court records.
