On the facts stated, no oral understanding was proved, so the employer remained bound by the written settlement until replaced by a valid fresh settlement. Arrears of VDA fixed under that settlement were recoverable under Section 33C(1) as money already due, since only verification or arithmetical computation was required and the rate and period were not disputed. The summary recovery certificates were therefore valid. en-us Fri, 31 Jan 1997 00:00:00 +0530 Mon, 25 Apr 2016 17:34:28 +0530 TaxTMI RSS Generator https://www.taxtmi.com/caselaws?id=181818 A written industrial settlement under the Industrial Disputes Act cannot be varied, modified, or superseded by an alleged oral understanding, because settlements are required to be in writing and an oral arrangement cannot contradict their terms.
