The Madras High Court granted a four-week interim stay in a Tiruvannamalai employer’s gratuity dispute after noting an earlier deposit.

Case reference — The Management, Sri Dhamodharan Roadways v. Additional Commissioner of Labour and others, W.P. No. 43573 of 2026 and W.M.P. No. 48912 of 2026, 2 November 2026, Justice C. Saravanan

What was challenged

A Tiruvannamalai roadways management challenged an appellate labour authority’s order confirming an earlier gratuity determination. The High Court considered its request for temporary relief.

Why the court granted interim relief

The Court recorded that the management had already deposited ₹5,67,700 under the earlier order. It also referred to a similar matter in which it had granted a stay. It then granted interim protection for four weeks and directed notice.

What remains open

The order listed the matter on 30 November 2026 for filing a counter. It did not decide the gratuity claim or finally resolve the challenge to the appellate order.
