Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court held that a demand for housing accommodation can be entertained if the employer's financial position allows it, but the responsibility cannot solely rest on the employer. Regarding puja bonus, the Court established that it must be consistently paid over the years, even during losses, and can be implied in the employment contract. The Court upheld the tribunal's decision to award puja bonus while denying the housing accommodation claim, emphasizing the need for cooperation between industry and the state in addressing housing issues.
