As the question that arises for consideration is the same and the petitioner is also the same, the writ petitions are being disposed by this common order.2. The facts are in a narrow compass.

The employee preferred an application before the authority claiming the difference of amount towards gratuity. He alleged that the LIC is covered by the Act, that the LIC displayed the Act prominent...
