Judgment text excerpt

The Supreme Court addressed the appeal regarding the applicability of the Payment of Gratuity (Amendment) Act, 2010, which sought to enhance the gratuity ceiling for employees of Coal India Limited. The court examined the High Court's decision that declined the appellants' claim for the amendment to be effective from January 1, 2007. The Supreme Court ultimately upheld the applicability of the amendment, affirming the enhanced gratuity provisions for the appellants.
