Suppose decision was given by ALC& C.A. in favour of the employee to release the gratuity unlawfully withheld by the employer.Since the time-limit to file the appeal was over, ALC issued a show-cause notice to the employer asking them to explain why attachment order should not be issued to them for not complying with their order.Subsequently, employer filed an appeal against the said order of ALC by filing a writ directly before the High Court and requested ALC not to release the payment till disposal of the case.No stay was granted by the Court.Is the ALC justified in not implementing its own order on the plea stated above? Kindly advice.
