RAJASTHAN AGR. UNIVERSITY vs RAM KRISHNA VYAS

The Supreme Court upheld the decision of the Rajasthan High Court regarding the calculation of gratuity for university employees under the Rajasthan Agricultural University Act, 1987. The Court ruled that gratuity must be calculated based on the last drawn pay, including dearness allowance and ad-hoc dearness allowance, rather than solely on basic pay as per the amended rules of the State Government. The Court affirmed the High Court's directive to consider university-specific rules for gratuity calculation, thereby dismissing the appeal of the Rajasthan Agricultural University.
