CWP No.440 of 2002. 07.5.2007 Present: Mr. Neel Kamal Sood, Advocate for the petitioners. Mr. Neel Kamal Sood submits very very fairly at the Bar that the Corporation is ready and willing to pay a sum of Rs.10,335/- due and admissible under the Payment of Gratuity Act,1972 but without treating the same as a precedent or going into the merits of the case. Mr. Neel Kamal Sood submits that the Corporation has taken the stand to ameliorate the hardship of the legal representatives of late Shri Shakti Chand who have already been brought on record. Accordingly, the Corporation is directed to release the amount of gratuity as assessed by the Controlling Authority including the interest within a period of one month. Moreover, before parting with the judgment, though the petition has been disposed of on the basis of fair stand taken by the Corporation but on the merits also there is neither any jurisdictional error nor procedural irregularity. The Corporation is directed to ensure that the money alongwith interest is paid by way of draft. Accordingly, the writ petition is disposed of with no order as to costs. (Rajiv Sharma) May 7, 2007.
