In Brief
The appellant, an employee of Rajshree Shahu Government Servants Co-Operative Bank Ltd, challenged the High Court's interim order affecting his gratuity entitlement. The Supreme Court disposed of the appeal by requesting the High Court to expeditiously decide the pending writ petitions within six months. Notably, the Court directed the Bank to disburse the undisputed gratuity payable up to 15 October 1993 within two weeks, without prejudice to the Bank's remaining contentions. This balanced approach protected the employee's immediate interests while preserving the employer's rights regarding disputed portions.
