I worked for almost 5 years at BEML in Bangalore and resigned with proper approval before joining HAL Bangalore. When my gratuity claim was denied, I filed a complaint with the Labour Commissioner (ALC) in Bangalore. The ALC ruled in my favor, but BEML appealed to the Deputy Chief Labour Commissioner (DY CLC). The first two hearings were missed by BEML, but their lawyer attended the third hearing and asked for an adjournment. If the appeal ultimately goes against me, what are my options? Also, is my demand for gratuity legally valid? I’m seeking an opinion on these matters.

Based on your situation, your demand for gratuity is legally valid as you worked for over 5 years at BEML and resigned with proper approval. If the DY CLC appeal goes against you, you can appeal the decision to the High Court. The ALC’s decision in your favor provides a strong basis for your claim, and the repeated missed hearings by BEML can be seen as a tactic to delay the process.
