He said there is no such bar under relevant rules for payment of gratuity for working on the post of deputy Lokayukta, and therefore, the petitioner needs to be paid the same as per law.<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important}\n    \t    #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;}\n    \t]]><\/style>\n<p><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/ex-judge-moves-hc-over-gratuity-payment-for-serving-as-dy-lokayukta\/articleshow\/117143398.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jabalpur: The Madhya Pradesh High Court has served a notice to the principal accountant general, Gwalior, on a petition filed by retired judge and former deputy Lokayukta Umesh Chandra Maheshwari seeking direction for his gratuity payment.
