BY THE R-3 AND ETC.

WRIT APPEAL AND WRIT PETITION HAVING BEEN HEARD AND

RESERVED ON 22.02.2021, COMING ON FOR ‘PRONOUNCEMEN T’ OF

JUDGMENT THIS DAY, SATISH CHANDRA SHARMA J., DELIVERED

THE FOLLOWING:

JUDGMENT

The present writ appeal is arising out of the orde r dated

11.1.2019 passed in WP.Nos.36530-708/2016 and

WP.No.53708/2013.

2. The facts of the case reveal that writ petition s bearing

WP.Nos.36530-708/2016 were preferred by the Nationa l

Confederation of Ex-employees Association as well a s Ex-

employees of BEML claiming gratuity to the tune of Rs.10 lakhs.

It was contended by the appellants that the Governm ent of India

has issued a Office Memorandum dated 26.11.2008 reg arding

revision of pay scales w.e.f., 1.1.2007 for a period of 10 years

and clause-13 pertains to enhancement of the ceiling limit of the

gratuity to the Executives and non-unionised Superv isors to the

tune of Rs.10 lakhs w.e.f, 1.1.2007 even though the Payment of

66

Gratuity Act provided for a ceiling of Rs.3.5 lakhs . The

Government of India issued another Official Memoran dum dated

2.4.2009 issuing directions to all the Public Sector Undertakings

including BEML about the acceptance of revision of pay scales and

benefits from 1.1.2007.

3. BEML, through its Board of Directors, in its 28 3

rd

meeting held on 29.4.2009, passed a resolution appr oving the

implementation of the revised scales of pay with fitment benefits

and also authorized the Chairman and Managing Direc tor to take

up the matter with the Ministry for issuance of Pre sidential

Directives. The Ministry of Defence, vide letter dated 30.4.2009,

on the basis of the resolution passed by the Board of Directors,

informed the Chairman and Managing Director, BEML t hat the

revision of pay scales and other benefits as contained in Office

Memorandum dated 26.11.2008 and as amended from tim e to

time, has been accepted and the Presidential Directives are issued

for implementation w.e.f., 1.1.2007. The contention of the

appellants is that the letter of the Secretary, Ministry of Defence,

was accompanied by an order dated 30.4.2009 in resp ect of

implementation through Presidential Directives.

67

4. Another important aspect of the case is that a letter

dated 29.4.2009 was issued by the Chairman and Mana ging

Director, BEML informing the Government of India an d the

Ministry of Defence that the Management and Board o f Directors,

after examining the affordability, had recommended for issuance

of Presidential Directives and never indicated that gratuity ceiling

limit of Rs.10 lakhs is not agreeable and they would retain it at

Rs.3.5 lakhs. The Board’s resolution dated 29.4.2009, makes it

very clear that the Board has resolved to enhance the ceiling limit

in respect of gratuity up to Rs.10 lakhs as recommended by the

Government of India.

5. That finally, the Chairman and Managing Directo r,

BEML (‘CMD’ for short), by an order dated 17.7.2009, revised the

pay scales and allowances of all the Executives w.e.f., 1.1.2007.

However, clause 13.1 in respect of enhancement of ceiling limit of

gratuity payment to Rs.10 lakhs from 1.1.2007 was n ot retained

as stipulated in clause 13 of the Office Memorandum dated

26.11.2008, meaning thereby the pay and other benef its were

granted in terms of the Office Memorandum dated 26. 11.2008

and the enhancement in respect of gratuity was not done, vide

order dated 17.7.2009. The appellants’ further con tended that

the action of CMD in not enhancing the ceiling limit of gratuity

68

payment to Rs.10 lakhs was contrary to the Presidential Directives

issued on the subject. It was also pointed out that payment of

arrears of wages and other allowances as per the revision w.e.f.,

1.1.2007 was paid to all the appellants till the da te of their

retirement and it was only the gratuity which was n ot paid to

them.

6. The appellants have contended by placing relianc e

upon the 46

th

Annual Report for the year 2009-2010 that a

provision was made for payment of gratuity amountin g to a sum

of Rs.9505.80 lakhs. The appellants have also contended that in

case of employees of M/s. Hindustan Aeronautics Lim ited, which

also comes under the Ministry of Defence, a circular was issued on

28.5.2009 revising the pay scales and allowances an d in clause

12.1 of the said Circular dated 28.5.2009, the ceiling limit in the

matter of payment of gratuity to the Officers was e nhanced to

Rs.10 lakhs w.e.f, 1.1.2007.

7. The appellants have also contended that in resp ect of

Gail (India) Limited, by an order dated 30.4.2009 the benefit was

extended in respect of enhancement of gratuity. Also, in case of

Neyveli Lignite Corporation, by an order dated 20.6 .2009 the

gratuity ceiling limit was enhanced to Rs.10 lakhs w.e.f.,

69

1.1.2007. The Steel Authority of India also by office order dated

21.11.2009 has revised the pay scale to all Officers and gratuity

limit was also enhanced to Rs.10 lakhs. Another ex ample was

given in respect of an organization under the Ministry of Defence

i.e., Bharat Electronics Limited, which is again a Public

Undertaking and it was contended that said BEL has also

enhanced the gratuity ceiling limit to Rs.10 lakhs by an order

dated 31.7.2010.

8. It has also been contended that BEML is also a Public

Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of Defence and it fulfills all

the parameters provided under the Office Memorandum issued by

the Government of India dated 26.11.2008. Therefor e, a

provision was rightly made for payment of gratuity on an

enhanced ceiling limit w.e.f, 1.1.2007, meaning the reby

Rs.9,505.50 lakhs were kept towards payment of grat uity as

reflected from the balance sheet.

9. The appellants have further contended that duri ng the

pendency of the writ petitions, an order was passed by the Delhi

High Court in WP(C).907/2013 and pursuant to said o rder the

appellants’ made representations, which were reject ed by the

70

Defence Ministry by an order dated 24.8.2015. Ther efore, writ

petitions were filed before the learned Single Judge.

10. The respondents have opposed the prayer of the

appellants/petitioners before the learned Single Judge and it was

stated by the respondents that the employees workin g in BEML

can be broadly classified into two categories viz., workmen and

officers. The workmen are governed by the wage revision arrived

at in the bi-partite meeting between the Unions of all the divisions

and the Management of BEML. The officers are governed by wage

revision adopted by the Management in terms of the wage

revision recognized and accepted by the President o f India. It

was further contended that the Second Pay Revision Committee

constituted by the Government of India under the Ch airmanship

of Hon’ble Mr.Justice Jagannadha Rao had submitted a report to

the Government of India. Keeping in view the said r eport, the

Department of Public Enterprises, Ministry of Heavy Industries

and Public Enterprises issued Office Memorandum dat ed

26.11.2008, thereby accepting the revised scales of pay of Board

level and below Board level Executives and non-unio nised

Supervisors in the Central Public Sector Undertakin gs w.e.f.,

1.1.2007 for a period of 10 years. The respondents further

contended before the learned Single Judge that as per the Office

71

Memorandum, pay revision was not required to be imp lemented

as it is, but it was to be implemented taking into account the

consideration the affordability, capacity to pay and sustainability

of the Central Public Sector Establishments (CPSE for short).

11. The respondents have further contended that the

Government of India in the Office Memorandum dated 9.2.2009

issued an addendum to the earlier Office Memorandum dated

26.11.2008 regarding payment of performance related pay to

Executives and non-unionised Executives. It was fu rther

contended that subsequent to Office Memorandum date d

26.11.2008 and 9.2.2009, the Ministry of Heavy Indu stries and

Public Enterprises, Government of India, issued ano ther Office

Memorandum dated 2.4.2009 and further guidelines we re issued

for considering the recommendations of the Committe e of

Ministers. It was provided therein that the benefi t of Office

Memorandum dated 26.11.2008 and 9.2.2009 are as per the

maximum permissible limits. However, lower limits against these

maximum permissible limits can be provided in the P residential

Directives, depending upon affordability, capacity to pay and

sustainability of the concerned CPSE.

72

12. The respondents further contended that keeping in

view the guidelines and the Office Memorandums, BEM L decided

to revise the pay scales to Board level and below B oard level

Executives with fitment in future of 25% on the Basic plus DA as

against 30% as per the Office Memorandums and the r evised pay

scales were paid from 1.1.2007. Accordingly, the Board of BEML

passed a resolution in its 283

rd

meeting held on 29.4.2009 to

implement the pay revision and authorizing the CMD to take-up

the matter with the Ministry for Presidential Direc tives. The

respondents have further stated that subsequently the Ministry of

Defence, vide order dated 30.4.2009, conveyed the P residential

Directives. The Presidential Directives were issued in exercise of

powers conferred under Article 159 of the Articles of Association

of BMEL, Bengaluru and the President has approved t he pay

scales, fitment, formal DA guidelines and ceiling perquisites, Etc.,

for Board level and below Board level Executives. The

respondents have further stated that keeping in vie w the

directives issued vide order dated 30.4.2009 the re spondent-

BEML evolved a detailed revision of scales of pay of Board level

and below Board level Executives retaining the maximum ceiling

limit of gratuity as Rs.3.5 lakhs in view of the pr ovisions of

Payment of Gratuity Act prevailing at that point of time. The

73

respondents have further stated that they have revi sed House

Rent Allowance, Non Practicing Allowance, Transfer Grant,

Performance Related pay, etc., however, gratuity was not revised.

13. The respondents have further stated that the Bo ard

has also passed a resolution in its 286

th

Meeting held on

30.7.2009 regarding the implementation of revision of pay scales.

The respondents have further stated that the payment of Gratuity

Act, 1972 was amended by substituting the words ‘te n lakhs

rupees’ in place of ‘three lakhs and fifty thousand rupees’ in sub-

section (3) of Section 4 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

The amendment was notified by the Ministry of law a nd justice

vide Gazette Notification dated 8.5.2010. Conseque ntly, the

Ministry of Labour and Employment has issued a Gaze tte

Notification dated 24.5.2010 notifying 24.5.2010 as the effective

date of the amendment. The Ministry of Heavy Indus tries and

Public Enterprises, Department of Public Enterprises issued an

Office Memorandum dated 2.6.2010 informing 24.5.201 0 as the

effective date for the purpose of amendment to the Gratuity Act.

It was stated before the learned Single Judge that the gratuity

has been enhanced to Rs.10 lakhs, however, only w.e .f.,

24.5.2010 and internal circular was also issued by BEML on

29.12.2010.

74

14. The respondents have further stated that the

appellants in this appeal cannot claim enhanced gratuity as they

have retired from 2007 to 2010 and under the paymen t of

Gratuity Act, the ceiling limit was Rs.3.50 lakhs and the Office

Memorandum issued by the Government of India enhanc ing the

pay structure based upon the Second Pay Revision Co mmittee

dated 26.11.2008 was not made applicable in toto in respect of

BEML. The respondents have categorically stated th ey never

made any provision for payment of enhanced gratuity to be paid

w.e.f., 1.1.2007 as stated by the appellants to the extent of

Rs.9505.50 lakhs. It was further contended that BE ML used to

make provisions towards gratuity in all its Annual Financial

Reports in terms of the Accounting Policy. It was further clarified

that provision regarding gratuity for the year 2007 -2008 was

Rs.338.18 lakhs, for the year 2008-2009 it was Rs.5 35.19 lakhs

and for the year 2009-2010 it was Rs.9505.80 lakhs.

15. The respondents have further stated that the Of fice

Memorandum dated 26.11.2008 for enhancement of wage ceiling

is only a guideline and the implementation is subje ct to the

capability etc., It has been stated that keeping i n view the

Annual Financial Report, the Government of India has not granted

75

any approval for payment of enhanced gratuity. It was also

contended before the learned Single Judge that in c ase the

appellants are aggrieved in the matter of payment o f gratuity,

they do have a right to approach the controlling authority under

the payment of Gratuity Act. The respondents have contended

that the appellants cannot be granted enhanced grat uity as

prayed for. Hence, a prayer was made for dismissal of the writ

petitions.

16. A rejoinder was also filed in respect of the w rit

petitions stating categorically that appellants/petitioners before

the learned Single Judge cannot approach the contro lling

authority under the Payment Of Gratuity Act as the maximum

ceiling limit provided at the relevant point of time under the

Payment of Gratuity Act was Rs.3.50 lakhs only. It was also

stated by the appellants/petitioners that in terms of Office

Memorandum dated 26.11.2008 there were only two con ditions

which BEML was required to satisfy viz., for implementation of the

wage revision and to give other benefits to the employees.

17. It was stated that clause (3) of Office Memoran dum

dated 26.11.2008 provided for affordability of implementation of

pay revision. The aforesaid clause provided that revised pay scale

76

would be adopted subject to the condition that the additional

outgo by such revision for a period of 12 months should not result

in more than 20% dip in profit before tax (PBT). Similarly clause

(16) provided that CPSE concerned has to bear the a dditional

financial implication on account of pay revision from their own

resources and no budgetary support would be provided.

18. The appellants by filing 46

th

Annual Report 2009-10

have made an attempt before the learned Single Judg e that

clause (3) permits in the case of BEML organization to grant

enhancement of gratuity, however, in respect of the aforesaid

fact, in all other organizations under the Ministry of defence, the

gratuity was enhanced barring BEML organization.

19. The learned Single Judge, after hearing the pa rties at

length, has remanded the matter back for reconsider ation to

BEML. Paragraphs 9 to 14 of the order passed by th e learned

Single Judge read as under:

“9. On the other hand, learned Counsels for the

respondents would submit that in another case decid ed

by the Uttarakhand High Court, the Division Bench h as

rejected similar contentions raised by employees.

Reliance is placed on the judgment in the case of

Bansidar Joshi and others Vs. Uttarakhand Seeds

and Tarai Development Corporation Ltd. and others

reported in 2016 LAB.I.C.791. Reliance is also placed

on another judgment of the High Court of Andhra Pradesh

in the case of Electronics Corporation of India

Limited, Post ECIL, Hyderabad 500 062, Rep. by

77

Chairman & Managing Director Vs. The Controlling

Authority under P.G.Act, 1972 and another reported

in 2016 SCC OnLine Hyd 336 .

10. With regard to the case of Bansidar Joshi (supra),

the learned Senior Counsel appearing for the petitioners

submits that it is a case where the claim is made under

the Gratuity Act and in the case of Electronics

Corporation of India (supra), the Court came to the

conclusion that the employer did not have the

affordability in terms of the Official Memorandum a nd

therefore, the decisions went against the employees. It is

also submitted on behalf of the respondents that th e

Official Memorandum is, in fact, a general guideline and

cannot be forced upon the employer.

11. Having heard the learned Counsels and perusing the

records and on going through the judgments cited by the

learned Counsels, this Court is of the opinion that in the

case on hand, the order passed by the Controlling

Authority stating that the petitioners are not entitled to

receive the difference in gratuity since the amendment to

Section 4(3) was brought about in the year 2010, w hile

the petitioners had retired well before the amendme nt

came into force, cannot be countenanced. As held in the

case of the Delhi High Court, the Presidential Directive,

pursuant to the Official Memorandum dated 26.11.200 8

and 02.04.2009, the concerned CPSEs were required t o

determine the affordability which again depended upon its

percentage of profit but not more than 20% dip in 2007-

2008 to implement the pay revision and gratuity.

12. The third respondent-BEML is required to reconsider

its opinion in the light of the observations made by the

Delhi High Court and having regard to its affordability as

provided under Clause (3) of the Official Memorandu m

dated 26.11.2008, and pass an order on the requisit ion

made by the petitioners herein.

13. The memorandum of writ petitions itself may be

considered as a request made by the petitioners and the

third respondent-BEML is directed to reconsider the

prayer made by the petitioners, in the light of the

observations made above. The petitioners have serv ed

the respondent-BEML for more than 30 years and have

retired way back in the year 2007-2010. In that view of

the matter, the third respondent-BEML is directed t o

consider the representation of the petitioners and pass

orders within a period of three months from the date of

78

receipt of a certified copy of this order. If the third

respondent eventually holds that the petitioners are to be

given the difference in the gratuity amount, the th ird

respondent shall also pay the same with interest at the

rate of 10% p.a. till the date of actual payment.

14. The petitions are accordingly disposed of. No order

as to costs.”

The appellants/petitioners are aggrieved by the ord er

passed by the learned Single Judge.

20. Heard the learned counsel for the parties at l ength

and perused the record. The undisputed facts of the case reveal

that appellant No.1 is a National Confederation of Ex-employees’

Association and other appellants are Ex-employees o f BEML.

They are claiming gratuity to the tune of Rs.10 lakhs instead of

Rs.3.50 lakhs which has been granted to them. The undisputed

facts also reveal that in the year 2010, the Payment of Gratuity

Act, 1972, has been amended and the ceiling limit of Rs.3.5 lakhs

has been increased to Rs.10 lakhs. Therefore, the dispute is only

in respect of those employees who have retired w.e. f., 1.1.2007

to 24.5.2010. The Government of India appointed a Pay Revision

Committee headed by Hon’ble Justice Jagannadha Rao (retired

Supreme Court Judge) as a Chairman and the Pay Revi sion

Committee submitted a report to Government of India . The

Government of India thereafter, issued various directions to all

79

Administrative Ministries and Public Sector Undertakings and the

final implementation of the recommendations of the Pay Revision

Committee was to take place after issuance of the P residential

Directives issued by the Administrative Ministries.

21. The Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public

Enterprises issued two Office Memorandums dated 26. 11.2008

and 2.4.2009 in respect of revision of wages and fo r providing

other benefits to Board level executives and Non Un ionised

Supervisors in the public sector enterprises and it was notified

specifically that revision of pay scale and other benefits would

come into effect from 1.1.2007. It was also made c lear that

clause 3 and 13 of the notification dated 26.11.2008 should be

satisfied for ensuring the revised benefits including increase in the

gratuity ceiling.

22. The relevant clauses of the Office Memorandum dated

26.11.2008 which are necessary for adjudication of the present

writ appeal are reproduced as under:

Article-2-Fitment Benefit:

(i) A uniform fitment benefit @ 30% on basic pay p lus

DA @ 68.8% as on 01.01.2007 would be provided to al l

executives. The aggregate amount would be rounded o ff

to the next ten rupees and pay fixed in the revised pay

scale.

(ii) If any extra ordinary increment(s) and/or increase

in the pay in respect of executives/non unionized

80

supervisors have been granted with retrospective effect,

which affects the revision of pay as on 1.1.2007, s uch

increment and/or increase in pay will be ignored for the

purpose of fitment/pay revision.

(iii) Where executives drawing pay at two or more

consecutive stages in an existing scale get bunched, then,

for every two stages so bunched, benefit of one

increment shall be given.

Article-3- The revised pay scales would be adopted,

subject to the condition that the additional outgo by such

revision for a period of 12 months should not resul t in

more than 20% dip in profit before tax (PBT) for the year

2007-08 of a CPSE in respect of executives we well as

non-unionised supervisory staff taken together in a CPSE.

CPSEs that cannot afford to pay full package, can

implement with either part PRP or no PRP. These CPS Es

may pay the full package subsequently, provided the dip

in the profit (PBT) is fully recouped to the original level.

Article-7- House Rent Allowance: The House Rent

Allowance to the employees of CPSEs will be at the

following rates:

Cities with population Rates of HRA

50 lakhs and above 30% of Basic Pay

5 to 50 Lakhs 20% of Basic Pay

Less than 5 Lakh 10% of Basic Pay

Article 13- Gratuity: The ceiling of gratuity of th e

executives and non-unionised supervisors of the CPS Es

would be raised to Rs.10 lakhs with effect from 1.1.2007.

Article 16- Financial Implications: The CPSE concer ned

has to bear the additional financial implications o n

account of pay revision from their own resources and no

budgetary support will be provided.

Article 17- Issue of Presidential Directive, effective date of

implementation and payment of allowances etc. The

revised pay scales would be implemented by issue of

Presidential Directive in respect of each CPSE separately

by the concerned Administrative Ministry/Department .

The revised pay scales will be effective from 1.1.2007.

The payment of HRA, perks and allowances based on t he

revised scales will, however, be from the date of issue of

Presidential directive. The Board of Directors of e ach

81

CPSE would be required to consider the proposal of pay

revision based on their affordability to pay and submit the

same to the Administrative Ministry/Department for

approval.

Annexure-III

(i) The PRP has been directly linked to the profits of the

CPSEs/Units and performance of the executives.

Annexure-IV

(i) Long Term Incentives All CPSEs would formulate

Employees Stock Option Plan (ESOP) and 10% to 25% o f

the PRP should be paid as ESOPs. In order to see th at

Enter prises are able to operate ESOPs scheme, the

concerned Administrative Ministry/Department should

encourage the CPSEs coming under its control to get

them listed on the Stock Exchange.”

23. The Memorandum of Articles of Association of B EML

as contained under Article 159 provides for issuanc e of

Presidential Directives. In the Office Memorandum dated

26.11.2008, clause 13 provided for enhancement of c eiling limit

of gratuity to the executives and non unionized sup ervisors to

Rs.10 lakhs w.e.f, 1.1.2007. Respondent No.1 - Sec retary,

Ministry of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises issued another

Office Memorandum dated 2.4.2009, which was issued to all

Public Sector Undertakings about the acceptance of revision of

pay scales and other benefits w.e.f, 1.1.2007 and the Board of

Directors of BEML, in a meeting held on 29.4.2009 p assed a

resolution approving the implementation of revision of scale of

pay with fitment benefits and also authorised the CMD to take up

82

the matter with the Ministry for issuance of Presid ential

Directives. The Ministry of Defence - respondent No.2, vide letter

dated 30.4.2009, on the basis of the resolution, in formed the

BEML that the revision of pay scales and other bene fits as

contained in guidelines dated 26.11.2008, as amende d from time

to time, has been accepted and the Presidential Dir ectives are

issued for implementation w.e.f., 1.1.2007.

24. It is certainly true that a provision was also made by

the respondent – BEML for gratuity in 46

th

Annual Report for the

year 2009-10 by providing a sum of Rs.9505.50 lakhs , however,

the enhanced gratuity was not paid. In case of oth er

organizations, which are also under the Ministry of Defence i.e.,

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, the gratuity was revised to Rs.10

lakhs w.e.f, 1.1.2007 by order dated 28.5.2009, in case of Steel

authority of India by order dated 21.11.2009 the gr atuity was

revised and in case of BEL it was revised by order dated

31.7.2010.

25. The Office Memorandum dated 26.11.2008 regardi ng

revision of pay scales w.e.f., 1.1.2007, for a period of 10 years,

clearly lays down the requirement for employees to become

entitled to the revision. Clause 3 and 13 have alr eady been

83

reproduced earlier. It is clear from clause 3 and 13 that for giving

effect to the pay revision and enhanced gratuity, after it is opted,

additional outgo for such revision for a period of 12 months

should not result in more than 20% dip in Profit Before Tax in the

year 2007-2008.

26. Learned counsel for the appellants has drawn t he

attention of this Court towards 46

27. The aforesaid factual details have not been

controverted by the Government of India or by respondent No.3 -

BEML. The aforesaid chart makes it very clear that in case the

revision of pay scales are adopted, he additional outgo on account

of such revision in pay and gratuity for a period of 12 months will

certainly not result in more than 20% dip in Profit Before Tax for

the year 2007-2008.

84

28. It is nobody’s case that BEML was not having financial

capability in paying the enhanced gratuity to its employees. On

the contrary, the Board of Directors, which is the Apex Body has

already resolved to grant enhanced gratuity to its employees

including the appellants. Therefore, the impugned o rder

remanding the matter back to reconsider the prayer for grant of

gratuity deserves to be set aside. In the considered opinion of this

Court, once this Court has arrived at a conclusion that the

appellants are entitled for the benefit flowing out of Office

Memorandum dated 26.11.2008 including the benefit o f enhanced

gratuity, the question of remanding the matter does not arise.

29. The retired employees, who are appellants befor e this

Court have attained the age of superannuation after serving

BEML, which is a Public Sector Undertaking under the Ministry of

Defence. In other Public Sector Undertakings under the same

Ministry of Defence the benefit of higher pay scale w.e.f.,

1.1.2007 has been granted. The benefit of higher pay scale has

been granted to the appellants also. However, only gratuity has

not been granted as per the recommendations of the Pay

Commissioner Report in spite of the fact that Office Memorandum

dated 26.11.2008 provided for grant of such benefit. The present

85

appellants cannot be discriminated vis-à-vis the em ployees of

other Public Sector Undertakings under the same Min istry of

Defence only in the matter of payment of gratuity.

30. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the case of

D.S.Nakara vs. Union of India, reported in (1983) 1 SCC 304,

in paragraphs 13 to 15 has held as under:

“13. The other facet of Art. 14 which must

be remembered is that it eschews arbitrariness in

any form. Article 14 has, therefore, not to be

held identical with the doctrine of classification.

As was noticed in Maneka Gandhi's case in the

earliest stages of evolution of the Constitutional

law, Art. 14 came to be identified with the

doctrine of classification because the view taken

was that Art. 14 forbids discrimination and there

will be no discrimination where the classification

making the differentia fulfils the aforementioned

two conditions. However, in E.P. Royappa v. State

of Tamil Nadu, it was held that the basic principle

which informs both Arts. 14 and 16 is equality

and inhibition against discrimination. This Court

further observed as under:

"From a positivistic point of view, equality is

antithetic to arbitrariness. In fact, equality and

arbitrariness are sworn enemies; one belongs to

the rule of law in a republic while the other, to

the whim and caprice of an absolute monarch.

Where an act is arbitrary, it is implicit in it that it

is unequal both according to political logic and

constitutional law and is therefore violative of Art.

14, and if it affects any matter relating to public

employment, it is also violative of Art. 16. Articles

14 and 16 strike at arbitrariness in State action

and ensure fairness and equality of treatment.”

14.Justice Iyer has in his inimitable style

dissected Art. 14 in Maneka Gandhi case as

under:

86

"That article has a pervasive processual potency

and versatile quality, egalitarian in its soul and

allergic to discriminatory diktats. Equality is the

antithesis of arbitrariness and ex cathedra ipse

dixit is the ally of demagogic authoritarianism.

Only knight-errants of 'executive excesses'-if we

may use current cliché - can fall in love with the

Dame of despotism, legislative or administrative.

If this Court gives in here it gives up the ghost.

And so it is that I insist on the dynamics of

limitations on fundamental freedoms as implying

the rule of law; be you ever so high, the law is

above you."

Affirming and explaining this view, the

Constitution Bench in Ajay Hasia etc. v. Khalid

Mujib Sehravardi held that it must, therefore,

now be taken to be well settled that what Art.14

strikes at is arbitrariness because any action that

is arbitrary must necessarily involve negation of

equality. The Court made it explicit that where an

act is arbitrary it is implicit in it that it is unequal

both according to political logic and constitutional

law and is, therefore, violative of Art. 14. After a

review of large number of decisions bearing on

the subject, in Air India v. Nargesh Meerza the

Court formulated propositions emerging from an

analysis and examination of earlier decisions. One

such proposition held well established is that Art.

14 is certainly attracted where equals are treated

differently without any reasonable basis.

15. Thus the fundamental principle is that

Art. 14 forbids class legislation but permits

reasonable classification for the purpose of

legislation which classification must satisfy the

twin tests of classification being founded on an

intelligible differentia which distinguishes persons

or things that are grouped together from those

that are left out of the group and that differentia

must have a rational nexus to the object sought

to be achieved by the statute in question.”

31. It has been held that Article 14 strikes at arbitrariness

and the basic principle which informs both under Articles 14 and

87

16 is equality and inhibition against discriminatio n. The

respondents cannot be permitted to discriminate bet ween the

employees of BEML and other similarly situated empl oyees who

have attained the age of superannuation from other Public Sector

Undertakings under the Ministry of Defence. Therefore, the action

of the respondents in not granting enhanced gratuity is certainly

violative of Articles 14, 16 and 21 of the Constitution of India.

32. The Hon’ble Supreme Court in the aforesaid land mark

judgment has held that the pension/gratuity is neither a bounty

nor a matter of grace depending upon the sweet will of the

employer, nor an ex-gratia payment. It is a paymen t for the

service rendered. It is a social welfare measure rendering socio-

economic justice to those who in their hey-day of t heir life

ceaselessly toiled for the employer on an assurance that in their

old age they would not be left in lurch.

33. In the considered opinion of this Court, pension as a

retirement benefit is in consonance with and furtherance of the

goals of the Constitution as held by the Hon’ble Supreme Court.

The most practical raison d’etre for pension is the inability to

provide for oneself due to old age.

88

34. In the present case, on the basis of the

recommendations of the expert body which is the Pay Commission

it was resolved by the Board of Directors of BEML to grant revised

pay scales as well as revised gratuity and revised pay scales have

already been granted w.e.f., 1.1.2007 but only revised gratuity

has not been granted to the employees of BEML. As has already

been stated, the employees working in other Public Sector

Undertakings under the same Ministry of Defence hav e been

granted the benefit of revised gratuity. Therefore, as the criterion

laid down under the Office Memorandum dated 26.11.2 008 is

fulfilled, the question of denying the benefit to the appellants does

not arise.

35. In the present case, BEML has already granted

enhanced pay scales based upon the recommendations of the Pay

Commission, which is an expert body w.e.f., 1.1.200 7 and the

ceiling limit under the Payment Of Gratuity Act has already been

enhanced to Rs.10 lakhs w.e.f, 24.5.2010. All empl oyees, who

have retired after 24.5.2010 have been paid enhanced gratuity to

the tune of Rs.10 lakhs and have also been paid rev ised pay

scales w.e.f, 1.1.2007. The petitioners are the only employees

who have retired w.e.f., 1.1.2007 up to 24.5.2010 h ave been

singled out only because formal orders were not pas sed by the

89

Government of India/ presidential order was not passed. In the

considered opinion of this Court, the appellants ca nnot be

discriminated vis-à-vis the other employees of other Public Sector

Undertakings, who were standing on the same footing . The

employees of other Public Sector Undertakings under the Ministry

of Defence, to be more specific HAL, have been paid the gratuity

on a higher rate keeping in view the recommendation s under the

Office Memorandum dated 26.11.2008. Therefore, the appellants

are also entitled for payment of enhanced gratuity at part with the

other employees, who have been granted the benefit of revised

pay scale along with revised gratuity. In the net result, the writ

appeal is allowed.

36. The learned Single Judge, while disposing of t he writ

petitions and while remanding the matter back to BE ML, has

arrived at a conclusion that in case the employees are held

entitled for enhanced gratuity i.e., Rs.10 lakhs, they shall also be

entitled for interest at the rate of 10% p.a., from the date of

entitlement till the amount is actually paid. Therefore, in the

considered opinion of this Court, the appellants/employees shall

be entitled for enhanced gratuity along with interest at the rate of

8.5% p.m., from the date of entitlement till the amount is actually

paid. The order passed by this Court be complied wi th within a

90

period of 90 days from the date of receipt of the certified copy of

the judgment.

With the aforesaid, writ appeal stands allowed. No orders as

to costs.

37. In the connected writ petition i.e., WP.23629/ 2019

the employees have challenged the order dated 23.1. 2019

rejecting the claim of the petitioners for grant of revised gratuity.

As this Court in the writ appeal has arrived at a conclusion that

the employees/appellants in the said appeal are ent itled for

revised gratuity (Rs.10 lakhs), the impugned order dated

23.1.2019 is hereby quashed and the writ petition is allowed in

terms of the judgment passed in writ appeal. No ord ers as to

costs.

Pending applications, if any, stand disposed of.
