CALCUTTA INSURANCE Co. LTD. vs THEIR WORKMEN

The Supreme Court upheld the Industrial Tribunal's award regarding the revision of pay scales and allowances for employees, emphasizing that the merits of each case must be examined individually. The Court found that the Tribunal was justified in increasing pay and dearness allowances based on the company's improved financial condition since 1962, and that the length of service should be considered to avoid hardship to existing employees. The Court also clarified that the financial burden of a gratuity scheme should be assessed practically rather than theoretically, affirming the Tribunal's decisions on gratuity and leave provisions.
