The Transport Commissioner, v. Smt.C.Subhashini
Case brief
What is this about?
The court dismissed a writ petition challenging the Administrative Tribunal's order directing petitioners to pay gratuity to a retired employee's wife. The court held that withholding amounts towards tax arrears was unjustified as the gratuity was not attachable by civil courts, and no statutory obligation existed for such withholding.
What did the court decide?
The Writ Petition is dismissed without costs; pending miscellaneous petitions stand closed.
