DELHI TRANSPORT CORPORATION
Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972-Section 4-Pension scheme- Introduced by employer Corporation-Appellants are retired employees and have opted for said scheme though they were paid gratuity-They cannot have the benefit of both the pension and gratuity-Pension scheme was implemented on basis of certain guidelines-It is not for the Court to interfere with.

The appellants were paid Gratuity for their long service, but at the time of receipt of this amount, they were not entitled to get Pension. Now the appellants have opted for Pension. That is a similar relief given to them for the longer service rendered by them. The appellants cannot have the benefit of both the Pension and Gratuity.

It is true that there was some delay in implementing the Scheme, but all the retired employees were given sufficient opportunity to exercise their option.
