P. Rajan Sandhi vs Union Of India & Anr

The Supreme Court addressed the appellant's claim for gratuity under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, specifically referencing Section 4(6), which allows forfeiture of gratuity under certain conditions. The Court held that since the appellant's dismissal did not involve any proven misconduct that would warrant forfeiture, such as damage to property or moral turpitude, the denial of gratuity was unjustified. The Court ultimately ruled in favor of the appellant, reinstating his claim for gratuity.
