The respondent No.1 workman filed an application before the respondent No.2, Controlling Authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, for claiming therein, an amount of Rs.3,306.80 towards gratuity. The said application was allowed partly and the petitioner was directed to pay Rs.1,786.50 towards gratuity of the workman. Though it was a nominal amount, but the Company, instead of making of payment of the same to the workman, has taken up the matter in appeal. The Appellate Authority has also confirmed the order of the Controlling Authority. Hence this Special Civil Application. 3. The learned counsel for the petitioner has failed to make out any case for interference of this Court. Both the authorities have found the workman to be entitled for gratuity to the extent of amount of Rs.1,786.50. No error is apparent on both the orders of the authorities. In view of the facts above, this Special Civil Application fails and the same is dismissed. Rule is discharged with no order as to costs. ....... (sunil)
