CWP/2288/2023Parties: STATE OF H.P. AND ANR VS MANSA DEVIDate: 07-05-2026Judge(s): JUSTICE JYOTSNA REWAL DUAArea of Law: Labor LawThe High Court dismissed the State’s petition challenging an order dated 03.03.2022, passed by the Deputy Labour Commissioner-cum-Appellate Authority under Section 7(7) of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, which directed payment of gratuity to the respondent. The decisive ground for dismissal was that the facts and the issue of law involved were identical to those adjudicated in State of H.P. & Ors. Versus Binu Ram (CWP No.15443 of 2024, decided on 24.02.2026) and Bindumati Versus State of H.P. and others (CWP No.4632 of 2025, decided on 07.11.2025). The Court noted that the decision in Bindumati had been accepted and implemented by the State, and the learned Deputy Advocate General conceded that the legal issue was covered against the petitioner-State by these precedents. Consequently, applying the principle of stare decisis and following the reasoning established in Binu Ram and Bindumati, the Court found no merit in the State’s challenge, thereby upholding the gratuity payment order.CWP/6933/2026Parties: THE EXECUTIVE ENGINEER, I & P.H, DIVISION, DALHOUSIE VS JEEVAN SINGHDate: 07-05-2026Judge(s): JUSTICE JYOTSNA REWAL DUAArea of Law: Labor LawThe High Court dismissed the State’s writ petition, affirming the Labour Court’s order granting a workman ₹16,32,795/- in full wages with 6% interest from 20.05.2013 (date of award) to 22.02.2019 (date of re-engagement) under Section 33-C(2) of the Industrial Disputes Act, 1947. The Court reasoned that once an award of reinstatement attains finality, the workman cannot be denied wages for the period the employer delayed implementation, even if the award was challenged, particularly when no stay on the award was ever granted. Relying on D.N. Krishnappa versus The Deputy General Manager (Civil Appeal No. 9008/2022), the Court reiterated that an employee should not suffer due to the employer’s challenge to a reinstatement order, and interim orders merge with the final order, not nullifying the entitlement to wages. The principle of “no work no pay” was held inapplicable where the employer intentionally failed to implement a final award. The Court noted the State’s failure to issue a re-engagement notice and the workman’s consistent efforts to join, concluding that the computation of wages was undisputed and the impugned order warranted no interference.CWP/6966/2026Parties: RAKESH KUMAR VS ...
