State Of Jharkhand & Ors vs Jitendra Kumar Srivastava & Anr on 14 August, 2013

A Division Bench of this Court in W.A. No. 563/2023 has conclusively held that the right to receive gratuity matures on the date of exit from employment, neither the Act nor the Rules contemplate any period of limitation for raising such a claim; and the rule-based limitation cannot defeat the substantive statutory right. These decisions have been consistently followed by this Court. The further principle that retiral dues constitute property under Article 300-A of the Constitution and cannot be withheld without authority of law (State of Jharkhand v. Jitendra Kumar Shrivastava, 2013 AIR SCW 4749) further fortifies the conclusion. This ground fails.

M/S. Madras Fertilisers Limited vs The Controlling Authority on 1 November, 2002

Gratuity payable under the Act of 1972 is a sum payable by reason of termination of employment under a law, and therefore falls squarely within clause (d) above. This view was taken by the Madras High Court in Superintending Engineer v. Appellate Authority, Joint Commissioner of Labour, 2012 SCC OnLine Mad 5357 (following Madras Fertilisers Ltd. v. Controlling Authority, 2003 (97) FLR 275 (Mad.)), and the learned Single Judge has correctly adopted the same. The Appellant, as principal employer under the CLRA, was therefore obligated to pay gratuity upon the contractor's default, with a right to recover the same from the contractor from bills, securities, and other dues. The argument that Section 21(4) is confined to salary simpliciter is rejected.
