Court No. - 36
Case :- WRIT - A No. - 10097 of 2019 Petitioner :- Sangam Lal Respondent :- U.P. State Bridge Corporation Ltd. And 2 Others Counsel for Petitioner :- Pramod K. Gupta Counsel for Respondent :- Mukesh Kumar Kushwaha
Hon'ble Mrs. Sunita Agarwal,J.
The petitioner is aggrieved by non-release of gratuity since after 31.8.2009.
Sri M.K. Kushwaha, learned Advocate for the respondent submits that part payment of gratuity has been made to the petitioner and rest amount shall be paid within the shortest possible time.
So far as the delay in payment of gratuity, it is contended that the petitioner being a muster roll employee was not entitled to gratuity earlier and later on in terms of the Government Order dated 18th July, 2014, even the muster roll employees had been made entitled to gratuity. Necessary steps have, thereafter, been taken to provide benefit of the Government Order to all employees who are covered by the same.
On this submission, without entering into the merits of claim of the petitioner, the present writ petition is being disposed of with the direction to the respondent no. 1 namely the Managing Director, U.P. State Bridge Corporation Ltd., Lucknow to make sure that withheld gratuity of the petitioner has been paid within a period of three weeks from the date of submission of certified copy of this order.
The break up of amount paid to the petitioner shall also be given at the same time.
