Legal Question in Employment Law in India

I am a PRINCIPAL of a purely private PHARMACY COLLEGE. In the SERVICE RULES of our College of there is no provision of Gratuity. In spite of that one of the retired Asst. Professors has filed a case in the labour court claiming Gratuity. 1) Do we come under the preview of INDUSTRIAL ACT? 2)Are the Private Pharmacy Colleges bound to pay GRATUITY?
