Govt. Of Nct Of Delhi And Ors. vs K.R. Jain And Ors. on 30 March, 2006
Therefore, it is deemed admitted that the retirement
dues of workman have not been paid till date. If the management No. 1
could pay the retirement benefit of workman who had opted for SVRS
policy, there was no reason to withhold the retirement benefits of the
LCA No. 02/09 11 of 13 pages
workman, if he sought retirement prior to launching of SVRS policy
because liability to pay dues is admitted by the management No. 1.
Referring letter dated 21.01.2004 received from the Govt. of NCT of Delhi.
Hon'ble High of Delhi in case 'LPA No. 98/05, titled as Govt. of NCT of
Delhi & Ors. Vs. K.R. Jain & Ors.', has held that it would be NDPL which
would be responsible for the payment of amount as per direction of Ld.
Single Judge to the respondent No. 1 and not the Delhi Power Company Ltd.
The said judgment has been upheld by Hon'ble Supreme Court. In the
present case, it is the BSES YPL in place of NDPL who has been held
responsible for the payment in the authority relied above and therefore,
BSES YPL, the management No. 1 herein, is liable to pay the retirement
benefits to the workman.
