Dear All,
My cousin was working in an organization from 8 years. During his service he stole some goods from company and sold it and took some commissions from some vendors. When the organization came to know about it, they terminated his services and settled the issue in XXX lacs. The organization provided a 100 Rs stamp letter to him saying that “Mr. X was working in our organization and stole goods from company and took commissions from vendors. Now Mr. X will pay XXX Rs. to the organization by cheque and after it there will be no due towards Mr. X.” The letter was signed by Employer, Employee and witnesses.
Next day, all the said amount was paid to the company by cheque.
Now, he is claiming for his Gratuity but company is not paying it.
Can he legally claim for Gratuity?
Can company deny for his Gratuity?
Please suggest............
