MRTU & PULP Act | Voluntary Resignation Under VRS Bars Lockout Wages Claim Unless Fraud/Coercion Proven : Bombay HC
Bombay High Court rules that workmen who voluntarily resigned under a Voluntary Retirement Scheme (VRS) and accepted full and final settlement cannot later claim lockout wages. The court held that signed receipts extinguish all future claims unless fraud or coercion is established, reinforcing the finality of settlements in employment disputes.
