According to para. 22 of the settlement regarding gratuity it was provided that the question concerning improvements of gratuity benefits would be taken up by the company with the Head Office and when approval is received steps will be taken to effect the change. The matter was then referred to the Head Office. The Head Office proposed certain improvements but the . Matter stopped there. These improvements suggested by the Head Office were not referred to the C.BA. Nor was any supplementary settlement arrived at. The proposed changes, cannot be considered to be a settlement within the meaning of section 50 of the I.R.O. This application for interpretation of the proposal for improvements is not therefore maintainable. Since the proposal is yet to be agreed to by the C:BA. And made part of the settlement these steps have not been taken. Application is therefore dismissed in limine.
