The Madras High Court has ordered an interim stay against the order of the Industrial Dispute Tribunal, Chennai, directing Sathyabama University, Chennai, to pay bonus to drivers and technicians employed in the institution as per the provisions of the Motor Transport Employees Act.
Justice M.M. Sundresh passed the interim order while ordering notice to Pudhiya Jananayaga Vagana Ottunargal Mattrum Techniciangal Union, the original petitioner before the tribunal, returnable by eight weeks. While passing the order dated March 24, the tribunal, noting that ‘deemed-to-be universities’ cannot be considered as a non-profit making institution for the purpose of exempting them from paying bonus to their employees, directed Sathyabama University to pay bonus to its workers.
