Birla Institute Of Technology vs The State Of Jharkhand

The Supreme Court revisited its earlier decision in the case of Birla Institute of Technology vs. The State of Jharkhand, recognizing that a crucial amendment to the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 had not been considered. The court noted that the definition of 'employee' was amended retroactively, which impacted the applicability of the Act in the present case. Consequently, the court set aside its previous order and directed a fresh consideration in light of the amendment.
