Smt. Usha Rani vs State Of U. P. And Anr. on 11 December, 2019
The petitioners have placed reliance upon the decision rendered by a learned Judge in Usha Rani Vs. State of U.P. And 6 Others3 to contend that the question of whether gratuity would be payable irrespective of whether an option had been exercised by an employee prior to attaining the age of superannuation and untimely death stood settled in their favour. Usha Rani was dealing with a case where the employee had died prior to attaining the age of retirement which at the relevant time was fixed at 60 years.
