Wipro’s stand on dispute over ex gratia with ex-staffer abuse of law, says Karnataka HC; imposes costs
Wipro Enterprises faces a Rs 50,000 cost penalty from the high court for abusing legal process in an ex gratia payment dispute. The court ruled an employee, Ratnesh Pandey, is entitled to Rs 6.32 lakh plus interest, rejecting Wipro's hyper-technical defense of non-acceptance of cessation terms. This marks a significant win for the former employee.
