Mr.X can have valid claim with PE in the absence of Contractor's repudiation of demand from Mr.X the contract workman.
PE will be held liable to pay Gratuity to such contract wrkmen. In recent judgement in a case titled as Superintending Engineer V/s Appellate Authority, JLC Honorable High Court of Madras held that Inititial responsibility lies on the contractor to make payment of gratuity in view of section 21(4) of CLRA Act.
However if the Contractor fails to pay gratuity , the PE is bound to pay gratuity to the contract workman ( here Mr.X) can recover the same from the contractor's bill/dues. if PE also refuses to entertain r.X's claim , then Mr.X take recourse to Controlling Authority under PGA for realizing his claim
