    1. The present petition has been filed under Articles 226/227 of

    the Constitution of India seeking issuance of a writ in the nature of certiorari

    SPONSORED

    for quashing of the order dated 18.07.2022 (Annexure P-8) passed by the

    Controlling Authority-cum-Assistant Labour Commissioner (Central),

    Karnal, whereby the application moved by respondent No.3 for payment of

    gratuity was allowed, and the order dated 16.12.2024 (Annexure P-10)

    passed by the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (Central), Chandigarh,

    the appellate authority under the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, dismissing

    the petitioner’s appeal. A further prayer has been made for directing the

    official respondents not to give effect to the said orders and to return the

    amount deposited by the petitioner at the time of filing the writ petition

    before respondent No.1, along with interest.

    CONTENTIONS

    2. Learned counsel for the petitioner inter alia contends that

    respondent No.3 was appointed in the year 1988. While working as a

    Manager with the petitioner-Bank, he was served with a charge sheet on

    30.05.2013 and a supplementary charge sheet on 30.06.2014 under the

    major penalty proceedings and Vigilance category, as per the provisions of

    the Sarva Haryana Gramin Bank (Officers and Employees) Service

    Regulations, 2010, with regard to serious irregularities committed by him.

    Regular departmental proceedings were conducted by following the

    prescribed procedure. The respondent No.3 was found guilty of unauthorised

    and corrupt practices based on proven charges. Learned counsel further

    submits that all the charges clearly reflect upon his integrity. The respondent

    No.3 indulged in the practice of sanctioning loans under various schemes

    without ensuring the availability of security and without complying with

    KYC norms, which exposed the petitioner-Bank to financial loss.

    Furthermore, the fraud perpetrated on the petitioner-Bank was also reported

    to the police authorities. Thereafter, the disciplinary authority, after taking

    into consideration the material available on record, ordered the compulsory

    retirement of respondent No.3 on 12.03.2018. The respondent No.3 filed a

    statutory appeal, which was dismissed on 08.06.2018 (Annexure P-4).

    Subsequently, a show cause notice for forfeiture of gratuity was issued on

    07.03.2019 (Annexure P-5) due to the loss suffered by the petitioner-Bank.

    2.1 Following which the respondent No.3 approached the

    Controlling Authority seeking release of gratuity on 17.10.2019. The

    Controlling Authority allowed the application on 18.07.2022 vide the

    impugned order (Annexure P-8), directing the petitioner to pay an amount of

    ₹10,89,830/- as gratuity along with simple interest at the rate of 10% per

    annum. The petitioner-Bank filed an appeal, but the appellate authority

    dismissed the same on 16.12.2024 (Annexure P-10) without proper

    consideration. The petitioner has challenged both orders as being illegal and

    contrary to the provisions of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. In support

    of his contention, learned counsel for the petitioner relies upon the judgment

    of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Western Coal Fields Ltd. vs. Manohar

    Govinda Fuzele, 2025 SCC Online SC 345, and submits that for forfeiture

    of gratuity, a conviction in a criminal case is not a sine qua non for

    constituting an offence involving moral turpitude and that the determination

    of moral turpitude lies with the disciplinary/appointing authority.

    OBSERVATION & ANALYSIS

    3. I have heard counsel for the petitioner and perused the record

    with his able assistance.

    4. This Court is of the considered view that it is well-settled that

    the powers under Article 226 of the Constitution of India are to be exercised

    only where the findings recorded by an authority are arbitrary, suffer from

    procedural illegality, or disclose manifest prejudice. This Court cannot re-

    appreciate the matter on merits and substitute the conclusion drawn by the

    concerned authority with its own. Tritely, a High Court cannot sit in appeal

    with respect to the decision arrived. As such, this Court must confine itself

    to ensuring that the findings rendered are justified by the material available

    on record, that the proceedings were conducted in compliance with the

    prescribed procedure as well as the principles of natural justice. A two-

    Judge Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in South Indian Bank Ltd. v.

    Naveen Mathew Philip, (2023) 17 SCC 311, speaking through Justice M.M.

    Sundresh, has observed as follows in this regard:

    “13. A writ of certiorari is to be issued over a decision when the
    court finds that the process does not conform to the law or statute.
    In other words, courts are not expected to substitute themselves with
    the decision-making authority while finding fault with the process

    along with the reasons assigned. Such a writ is not expected to be
    issued to remedy all violations. When a tribunal is constituted, it is
    expected to go into the issues of fact and law, including a statutory
    violation. A question as to whether such a violation would be over a
    mandatory prescription as against a discretionary one is primarily
    within the domain of the Tribunal. So also, the issue governing
    waiver, acquiescence, and estoppel. We wish to place reliance on the
    decision of this Court in Hari Vishnu Kamath v. Syed Ahmad Ishaque
    [Hari Vishnu Kamath
    v. Syed Ahmad Ishaque, (1954) 2 SCC 881 :

    (1955) 1 SCR 1104] : (SCC pp. 898-900, paras 24-27):

    “24. Then the question is whether there are proper grounds for
    the issue of certiorari in the present case. There was
    considerable argument before us as to the character and scope
    of the writ of certiorari and the conditions under which it could
    be issued. The question has been considered by this Court in
    Parry & Co. Ltd. v. Commercial Employees’ Assn. [Parry &
    Co. Ltd.
    v. Commercial Employees’ Assn., (1952) 1 SCC 449] ,
    G. Veerappa Pillai v. Raman & Raman Ltd. [G. Veerappa
    Pillai v. Raman & Raman Ltd., (1952) 1 SCC 334] , Ebrahim
    Aboobakar v. Custodian of Evacuee Property [Ebrahim
    Aboobakar v. Custodian of Evacuee Property, (1952) 1 SCC
    798] and quite recently in T.C. Basappa v. T. Nagappa [T.C.
    Basappa
    v. T. Nagappa, (1954) 1 SCC 905] . On these
    authorities, the following propositions may be taken as
    established:

    24.1. Certiorari will be issued for correcting errors of
    jurisdiction, as when an inferior court or Tribunal acts
    without jurisdiction or in excess of it, or fails to exercise it.
    24.2. Certiorari will also be issued when the Court or
    Tribunal acts illegally in the exercise of its undoubted
    jurisdiction, as when it decides without giving an opportunity
    to the parties to be heard, or violates the principles of natural
    justice.

    24.3. The Court issuing a writ of certiorari acts in exercise of
    a supervisory and not appellate jurisdiction. One consequence
    of this is that the Court will not review findings of fact
    reached by the inferior court or Tribunal, even if they be
    erroneous. This is on the principle that a Court which has
    jurisdiction over a subject-matter has jurisdiction to decide
    wrong as well as right, and when the legislature does not
    choose to confer a right of appeal against that decision, it
    would be defeating its purpose and policy, if a superior court
    were to rehear the case on the evidence, and substitute its own
    findings in certiorari. These propositions are well-settled and
    are not in dispute…

    …The position was thus summed up by Morris, L.J. : (R. case
    [R. v. Northumberland Compensation Appeal Tribunal, ex p
    Shaw, (1952) 1 KB 338 (CA)] , KB p. 357)
    ‘It is plain that certiorari will not issue as the cloak of
    an appeal in disguise. It does not lie in order to bring
    up an order or decision for rehearing of the issue raised
    in the proceedings. It exists to correct error of law
    where revealed on the face of an order or decision, or
    irregularity, or absence of, or excess of, jurisdiction
    where shown.’

    27. In G. Veerappa Pillai v. Raman & Raman Ltd. [G.
    Veerappa Pillai v. Raman & Raman Ltd., (1952) 1 SCC 334] ,
    it was observed by this Court that under Article 226 the writ
    should be issued : (SCC p. 341, para 26)
    ’26. … in grave cases where the subordinate tribunals
    or bodies or officers act wholly without jurisdiction, or
    in excess of it, or in violation of the principles of
    natural justice, or refuse to exercise a jurisdiction
    vested in them, or there is an error apparent on the face
    of the record….’
    In T.C. Basappa v. T. Nagappa [T.C. Basappa v. T. Nagappa,
    (1954) 1 SCC 905] the law was thus stated : (SCC p. 915, para

    11)
    ’11. … An error in the decision or determination itself
    may also be amenable to a writ of “certiorari” but it
    must be a manifest error apparent on the face of the
    proceedings e.g. when it is based on clear ignorance or
    disregard of the provisions of law. In other words, it is a
    patent error which can be corrected by “certiorari” but
    not a mere wrong decision.'”

    4.1. Admittedly the Controlling Authority, vide order dated

    18.07.2022 (Annexure P-8), allowed the application moved by respondent

    No.3 for payment of gratuity. The Appellate Authority, vide order dated

    16.12.2024 (Annexure P-10), upheld the said findings of the Controlling

    Authority and dismissed the petitioner-Bank’s appeal. Admittedly, the

    Appellate Authority recorded that there was no finding as to any loss caused

    by respondent No.3 to the petitioner-Bank on account of his misconduct.

    While adverting to Section 4(6) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, which

    provides that gratuity may be forfeited to the extent of the damage or loss

    where an employee’s services are terminated for any wilful omission or

    negligence resulting in loss to the employer, it was observed that the burden

    squarely lies on the employer to establish such loss. In the present case, the

    Appellate Authority found no evidence of any monetary loss attributable to

    respondent No.3 arising from his alleged wilful misconduct. The Appellate

    Authority, therefore, held that the petitioner-Bank had failed to make out a

    case for forfeiture of gratuity under Section 4(6) of the Act of 1972.

    4.2. Thus, this Court is of the considered opinion that the

    Controlling Authority and the Appellate Authority in the present case have

    passed well-reasoned orders and the findings recorded therein are neither

    arbitrary nor tainted by any procedural or jurisdictional irregularity, nor do

    they disclose any manifest error apparent on the face of the proceedings.

    This Court is satisfied that the conclusions reached are duly supported by the

    material on record and that the proceedings were conducted in accordance

    with the prescribed procedure as well as the principles of natural justice. The

    petitioner-Bank has failed to place any material on record to establish that

    any quantifiable loss was caused by respondent No.3 so as to attract the

    provisions of Section 4(6) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972.

    5. It is undisputed that the service of the respondent No.3 was not

    terminated rather the respondent No.3 was made to “compulsorily retire”. A

    punitive measure such as dismissal of service stands on a different footing

    than “compulsory retirement”. A Constitutional Bench of the Hon’ble

    Supreme Court in Shyamlal v. State of Uttar Pradesh 1954 INSC 34, while

    speaking through Justice S.R Das observed that,

    MONIKA VERMA
    2026.04.16 09:36

    authenticity of this order/judgment

    CWP-39044-2025(O&M) -7-

    “18. Finally, rule 49 of the Civil Services (Classification, Control and
    Appeal) Rules clearly indicates that dismissal or removal is a
    punishment. This is imposed on an officer as a penalty. It involves loss
    of benefits already earned. The officer dismissed or removed does
    not get pension which he has earned. He may be granted a
    compassionate allowance by that. Under Article 353 of the Civil
    Service Regulations, is always less than the pension, actually earned
    and is even less than the pension which he would have got had he
    retired on medical certificate. But an officer who is compulsorily
    retired does not lose any part of the benefit that he has earned.

    On compulsory retirement he will entitled to the pension etc. that he
    has actually earned. There is no diminution of the accrued benefit.
    It is said that compulsory retirement, like dismissal or removal,
    deprives the officer of the chance of serving and getting his pay till
    he attains the age of superannuation and thereafter to get an
    enhanced pension and that is certainly a punishment. It is true that
    in that wide sense the officer may consider himself punished but
    there is a clear distinction between the loss of benefit already earned
    and the loss of prospect of earning something more.

    In the first case it is a present and certain loss and is certainly a
    punishment but the loss of future prospect is too uncertain, for the
    officer may die or be otherwise incapacitated from serving a day
    longer and cannot, therefore, be regarded in the eye of the law as a
    punishment. The more important think is to see whether by
    compulsory retirement the officer loses the benefit he has earned as
    he does by dismissal or removal. The answer is clearly in the
    negative. The second element for determining whether alternation of
    service amounts to dismissal or removal is, therefore, also absent in
    the case of termination of service brought about by compulsory
    retirement.” (Emphasis supplied)

    5.1. Further, a Constitutional Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme

    Court in Moti Ram Deka v. General Manager North East Frontier

    Railway 1963 INSC 244, while speaking through Justice P.B.

    Gajendragadkar observed that,

    “146. In a still more recent case AIR 1960 Supreme Court
    1305, it was held by this Court that an order of compulsory
    retirement of a public servant for administrative reasons
    under Rule 278 of the Patiala State Regulations which
    Regulations did not fix the minimum age or length of service
    MONIKA VERMA

    I attest to the accuracy and

    after which an order of compulsory retirement could be
    made,was not one of dismissal or removal from service within
    the meaning of Article 311(2) of the Constitution, because
    retirement under a Service Rule which provided for
    compulsory retirement at any age irrespective of the length of
    service put in, cannot necessarily be regarded as dismissal or
    removal within the meaning of Article 311, and the
    observations (hereinbefore quoted) made by Venkatarama
    Aiyar, J., in Saubhagchand Doshi’s case 1958 SCR 571 were
    for the purposes of deciding that case obiter, and that it was not
    a general rule that an order of compulsory retirement not
    amounting to dismissal or removal can take place only under a
    rule fixing the age of compulsory retirement.”

    (Emphasis supplied)

    5.2 A conjoint reading of the principles laid down by the

    Constitution Benches of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Shyam Lal (supra)

    and Moti Ram Deka (supra), together with Section 4(6)(b) of the Payment

    of Gratuity Act, 1972, clearly delineates the distinction between

    “compulsory retirement” and “termination” for the purpose of forfeiture of

    gratuity. The Constitution Benches have unequivocally held that dismissal

    or removal is a punitive measure, entailing stigma and loss of accrued

    benefits, whereas even where compulsory retirement is imposed as a

    penalty, it does not entail loss of accrued benefits nor does it carry the same

    consequences as dismissal or removal, but merely curtails the future tenure

    of service. In contradistinction, Section 4(6)(b) predicates forfeiture of

    gratuity exclusively upon “termination” of services on specified grounds

    such as riotous or disorderly conduct, acts of violence, or offences involving

    moral turpitude, each of which inherently postulates a punitive severance of

    service founded on proved misconduct.

    5.3 Conclusively a Three Judge Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme

    Court in Union of India v. Shri Dulal Dutt 1993 INSC 47, examined the

    order of compulsory retirement of a Controller of Stores in Indian Railway
    MONIKA VERMA
    2026.04.16 09:36
    I attest to the accuracy and
    authenticity of this order/judgment

    CWP-39044-2025(O&M) -9-

    and held that an order of compulsory retirement is not an order of

    punishment. It is a prerogative of the Government but it should be based on

    material and has to be passed on the subjective satisfaction of the

    Government and that it is not required to be a speaking order. The Hon’ble

    Apex Court while speaking through Justice Yogeshwar Dayal held as

    under:

    “18. It will be noticed that the Tribunal completely erred in assuming,
    in the circumstances of the case, that there ought to have been a
    speaking order for compulsory retirement. This Court, has been
    repeatedly emphasising right from the case of R.L Butail v. Union of
    India
    , (1970) 2 SCC 876 and Union of India v. J.N. Sinha, (1970) 2
    SCC 458 that an order of a compulsory retirement is not an order of
    punishment. It is actually a prerogative of the Government but it
    should be based on material and has to be passed on the subjective
    satisfaction of the Government. Very often, on enquiry by the Court
    the Government may disclose the material but it is very much different
    from the saying that the order should be a speaking order. No order
    of compulsory retirement is required to be a speaking order. From the
    very order of the Tribunal it is clear that the Government had, before
    it, the report of the Review Committee yet it thought it fit of
    compulsory retiring the respondent. The order cannot be called either
    mala fide or arbitrary in law.:”

    (Emphasis added)
    5.3 The consistent use of the expression “terminated” in the

    provision, and the absence of any reference to “compulsory retirement”, is

    legally significant and cannot be treated as inadvertent. Thus, the statutory

    scheme, when read in harmony with the settled constitutional position,

    makes it evident that “termination” in this context must be construed as

    punitive termination involving stigma and forfeiture of earned benefits, and

    not every cessation of service. Consequently, compulsory retirement, even

    when imposed as a penalty, does not result in forfeiture of accrued benefits

    and preserves accrued rights, operating in a distinct legal field and cannot be

    equated with termination for the purposes of forfeiture of gratuity

    particularly in the absence of a stigmatic severance of service accompanied

    by statutory grounds for forfeiture. The two concepts are, therefore, not

    synonymous but stand on fundamentally different footings; and in the

    absence of a punitive termination as contemplated under Section 4(6)(b), the

    very foundation for invoking forfeiture of gratuity is lacking.

    6. Furthermore the issue regarding withholding gratuity on

    account of compulsory retirement has been conclusively dealt with by a Two

    Judge Bench of the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Jyotirmay Ray v. The Field

    General Manager, Punjab National Bank 2023 INSC 979, which while

    speaking through Justice J.K. Maheshwari observed as under:

    “20. The Bank harmonizing the provisions of Regulation 46 of 1979
    Regulations and the Gratuity Act issued Circular No. 1563 on
    16.01.1997 through its personnel division. Therein harmonizing the
    Regulations with the provisions of the Gratuity Act and in clauses 8
    and 14 of the Circular, the instances as to when gratuity could be
    forfeited, have been specified. Those clauses are relevant and have
    been reproduced as under:

    “8. FORFEITURE OF GRATUITY UNDER ACT
    The gratuity payable under the payment of gratuity act, is liable to full
    or partial forfeiture under different circumstances. Section 4(1) of
    payment of gratuity act deals to payment of gratuity whereas section
    4(6)
    of the act deals with forfeiture of gratuity. Section 4(1) reads as
    under:

    Gratuity shall be payable to an employee on the termination of his
    employment after he has rendered continuous service for not less than
    five Years,
    a. On his superannuation, or
    b. On his retirement or resignation, or
    c. On his death or disablement due to accident or disease.
    Provided that the completion of continuous service of five years shall
    not be necessary where the termination of the employment of any
    employee is due to death or disablement.

    Section 4(6) provides as under:

    “Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (1)
    a. The gratuity of an employee, whose services have been
    terminated for any act, wilful omission or negligence causing
    any damage or loss to, or destruction of, property belonging to
    the employee, shall be forfeited to the extent of the damage or
    loss so caused:

    b. The gratuity payable to an employee may be wholly or
    partially forfeited.

    I) If the services of such employee have been terminated for his
    riotous or disorderly conduct or any other act of violence on
    his part, or

    II) If the services of such employee have been terminated for

    provided that such offence is committed by him in the course of
    his employment.

    Rules relating to payment of gratuity of officers staff have been
    laid down under Regulation 46 of PNB Officers Service
    Regulations, 1979 which is as under:-

    (I) Every officer shall be eligible for gratuity on:

    (a) Retirement, (b) death (c) disablement rendering him unfit
    for further service as certified by a medical officer approved by
    the bank, or (d) resignation after completing ten years of
    continuous service or termination of service in any other way
    except by way of punishment after completion of 10 years of
    service.

    Explanation: We have to clarify that gratuity may be paid in
    case of termination of service, subject to the condition that the
    officers has put in at least 10 years of service with the bank and
    provided that the termination is not by way of dismissal or
    removal from service as punishment.

    (II) The amount of gratuity payable to an officer shall be one
    month’s pay for every completed year of service, subject to a
    maximum of 15 months’ pay.

    Provided that where an officer has completed more than 30
    years of service, he shall be eligible by way of gratuity for an
    additional amount at the rate of one half of month pay for each
    completed year of service beyond thirty years.

    Pay for the purpose of gratuity in case of officer shall mean
    basic pay only. While calculating gratuity, that part of PQA &
    FPA drawn by an officer, which rank for superannuation
    benefit, shall also be taken into account.

    Note: If the fraction of service beyond completed years of
    service is six months or more, gratuity will be paid pro-rata for
    the period. In this connection, we have to clarify that for the
    purpose of calculating gratuity, the number of days, beyond 6
    months period is also to be taken into account.”

    On a combined reading of the provisions of the Gratuity Act, 1979
    Regulations and the circular, it becomes clear that the gratuity shall
    become payable to every officer on retirement, death, disablement or
    on resignation except in a case of termination of service in any other
    way, by way of punishment after completion of 10 years of continuous
    service.

    XXX

    26. The counsel for appellant also relied upon the judgement of B.R.
    Sharma
    (supra), in which the riotous behaviour of the employee was
    found proved. However, the said judgment does not apply in the facts
    of the present case.
    Similarly, reliance was also placed on the case of
    Canara Bank (supra) wherein as per the Regulations of the Canara
    Bank, the withholding of the amount of gratuity to the extent of loss

    caused was permissible. In the facts of the present case and contents
    of Regulations and Circular of the Bank, the said judgment being
    distinguishable, has no application. The learned Single Judge has
    correctly observed that as per the 1977 Regulations, compulsory
    retirement; removal from service which shall not be a
    disqualification for future employment and dismissal which shall
    ordinarily be a disqualification for future employment are distinct
    and separate punishments. The act of forfeiture of gratuity is not
    envisaged in the present case as the provisions are silent on the
    aspect of forfeiture in case of compulsory retirement. As per
    Circular No. 1563 dated 16.01.1997 of the Bank, in our view, the
    Division Bench erred in reversing the judgment of the learned Single
    Judge.”

    (emphasis added)

    6.1 The ratio that emerges is that even in cases where compulsory

    retirement is imposed after disciplinary proceedings, gratuity cannot be

    withheld unless the exhaustive conditions stipulated in the Section 4(6) of

    the Payment of Gratuity, 1972 are met.

    7. Moreover, the Hon’ble Supreme Court in Y.K. Singla v. Punjab

    National Bank, (2013) 3 SCC 472 has conclusively held that the provisions

    of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 shall have a superior status in respect

    to any enactment (including any other instrument or contract) inconsistent

    therewith, insofar as the entitlement of an employee to gratuity is concerned.

    Thereby reinforcing that statutory conditions for forfeiture cannot be diluted

    by service regulations or administrative instructions.

    8. The reliance placed on Western Coal Fields Ltd. (supra) by the

    learned counsel for the petitioner is misconceived, as the said case pertains

    to a situation involving termination of service, thereby satisfying the

    foundational requirement under Section 4(6). In contrast, the present case

    involves compulsory retirement, coupled with absence of any proven or

    quantified loss, and thus falls outside the statutory framework for forfeiture.

    Thus, the statutory trigger for invoking forfeiture is itself absent in the

    present case.

                               CONCLUSION
    
    

    9. Consequently, this Court is of the considered view that the

    Controlling Authority as well as the Appellate Authority have rightly and

    judiciously appreciated both the facts and the applicable law, and have

    correctly concluded that the case does not fall within the ambit of Section

    4(6) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. In the absence of any punitive

    termination as contemplated under the said provision, and further in the

    absence of any cogent evidence establishing or quantifying loss attributable

    to respondent No. 3, the essential statutory preconditions for forfeiture of

    gratuity remain unfulfilled. The impugned orders, therefore, do not suffer

    from any illegality, perversity, or jurisdictional error warranting interference

    in exercise of writ jurisdiction under Articles 226/227 of the Constitution of

    India.

    10. Accordingly, finding no merit in the present petition, the same

    stands dismissed.

    11. Pending miscellaneous application(s), if any, also stand

    disposed of.
