Judgment text as reported

M. ASGHAR JANJUA VS FEDERATION OF PAKISTAN. Expression "Gratuity"---Meaning and scope---Expression "gratuity" delineates a lump-sum / consolidated amount of money remunerated by an employer to an employee leading up to formal retirement, which is always regarded as significant milestone that marks the end of employee's career and starting of a new chapter in his life---Gratuity is a financial benefit provided as a token of gratitude for an employee's loyalty, efficient service and completion of certain years of service and depending upon the terms and conditions of employment, it becomes a legal obligation rather than a voluntary benefit---Sometimes it may be classified as bounty but if its payment obligation is structured and regulated by legal provisions / rules or regulations, then its payment turns into indispensable and mandatory rather than considering it a mere bounty.
