Service Pay is cancelled as per SC ?

Hi,

Dear All Experts,

There was a option as per AP Shops and Establishment Act that whom ever management removes on either resignation / retrenchment / termination, employee is eligble to get 15 days service pay for each year completed (avg gross).

But recently in feb 2009, it seems SC given a judgement that Service pay need not be paid as its equivalant to the Gratuity.. which comes into action with effect from feb 2009..due to this some company has not paid the service pay.
is it acceptable ?

Dear Mr.Balaram,

Kindly furnish details of the SC judgement, if available . However, the judgements of SC are binding to all which may be noted.
