Chief Commissioner has relied on the Government of India resolution providing for fee structure, 1997 and the Government of Orissa Industries Department Resolution dated 17.09.1998 to come to a conclusion that the fees collected towards “placement and training” is in excess of what was prescribed by the said resolutions. Petitioner’s case is that the resolution relied upon by the Chief Commissioner no more holds the field in view of the Act, 2007 and the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court dated 01.06.2007

As decided in the case of Incable Net (Andhra) Ltd. (supra), such breach could give rise to an action of breach of contract under Section 73 of the Indian Contract Act, 1972.
The offence alleged in the complaint against the petitioner is not a ‘continuous wrong’ and, therefore, the bar to take cognizance as contemplated under section 468(2)(b) of the Code of Criminal Procedure applies to the complaint lodged in the present case and, therefore, taking cognizance of such an offence after more than 11 years is clearly beyond the period of limitation prescribed and is clearly barred in law. In the result, the instant petition is allowed and the order of cognizance and summons issued in aforesaid cases are set aside.
The issue under consideration is whether the employee joined as a trainee is eligible for gratuity as per Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972?
