HC on Gratuity: Payment of Gratuity Act Applicable to Anganwadi Workers and Helpers, Says Tripura High Court
The court observed while hearing a plea of petitioners who were engaged as Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) and Anganwadi Helpers (AWHs) under the Intensive Child Development Services Scheme (ICDS scheme).
The Tripura High Court recently said that the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972, applies to the Anganwadi Workers (AWWs) and Anganwadi Helpers (AWHs) working in the State. The high court bench of Justice S Datta Purkayastha further said that a Supreme Court verdict on the issue was equally applicable to Tripura. "Hon’ble Supreme Court while examining the definition of ‘establishment’ within the meaning of law, referred the provisions of the Contract Labour (Regulation and Abolition) Act, 1970 and the Code on Wages, 2019 in Maniben’s case to include government offices and establishments within such definition. Both the above said Acts have their application equally in Tripura and Gujarat," the court stated.
