C. 10038/92 ordering attachment of the gratuity amount due to the judgment-debtor. The learned City Civil Judge has stated in his order that the word 'wages' does not include gratuity. He has also stated in his order that in view of Explanation - IV to Section 60 C.P.C. the word wages gratuity is not included. It is obvious the learned City Civil Judge has not looked into the relevant provisions properly. Section 60(g) clearly says that stipends and gratuities allowed to pensioners of the Government or of a local authority or of any other employer shall not be liable for attachment. This apart, Section 13 of the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1992 clearly says that the gratuity payable under this Act to an employee in any f...

K. Shivashankar Bhat, J. 1. The office is directed to prepare the cause title, preamble, etc., in all these cases. 2. The effect of explanation VIII found in the Second Schedule to the Karnataka Sales Tax Act, 1957 ('the Act', for short) is to be considered in these writ petitions; the question has arisen only in respect of the year 1990-91, regarding the levy of turnover tax with reference to silk yarn.
