Tribunal-I, Rouse Avenue District Courts, Delhi, had observed as under: -

“29. “Payment of Bonus @ 20% from January 2010 to January

2017?

The first demand of workman is related to payment of Bonus @

20% from January 2010 to January 2017.

The management in the written statement has averred that bonus

as per applicable laws has already been given to workers. It is observed

that workman are demand the payment of bonus @ 20% from January

2010 to January 2017 and they are not satisfied with the practice/

medium adopted by management qua payment of Bonus to workers. It

has also been alleged by management that they are running under loss.

Further MW-1 in his cross-examination recorded on 22.02.2024 has

deposed that management No. 1 has not paid bonus to the workmen at

present and voluntarily stated that management is not running in profit

since inception of the property.

Further one offer of employment dated 12.12.2011 is available on

record which was issued to workmen Sh. Ajit Kumar Paswan wherein

at Sr. No. 22 which is regarding Annual Bonus, it is mentioned that

depending on the company performance, paid only to confirmed

employees who complete 12 months of service. So parties herein are

bound by the terms and conditions containing in Offer of employment.

Hence, balance approach has to be taken qua demand of bonus and thus

this Tribunal deems fit to direct the management to reconsider the

demand of workman qua bonus. Accordingly, management No. 1 is

directed to frame policy and reconsider the demand of workmen

for grant of bonus at enhanced rate amicably for above period.
