CJI Bhushan Ramkrishna Gavai praised Justice Abhay Oka for ensuring gratuity to Anganwadi workers, saying, “His judgments were about understanding lives, resolving real problems, and making justice accessible to everyone,” reflecting his deep commitment to social justice.
The Tripura High Court has ruled that the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972 applies to Anganwadi Workers and Helpers, ensuring them retirement benefits. This decision grants them gratuity upon retirement, aligning with the Act’s protections. The judgment also references a Supreme Court ruling and directs the State to make gratuity payments to the retired workers and helpers concerned.
