The principal can seek legal recourse against the college secretary and staff members for wrongful termination. This could involve filing a complaint with the relevant authorities, such as the National Commission for Women or the state human rights commission, or filing a civil lawsuit for damages. The principal can also approach the college governing board to appeal the decision and highlight the unfair treatment.

At XYZ, Anjali, the assessment manager, called Bharat, an employee, to her desk.

I’m facing trouble getting jobs after leaving HDFC Bank in 2015. I worked there for almost two years but faced harassment and pressure to resign. When I refused, they fired me without explanation. I was unwell at the time and signed a resignation letter to avoid conflict. Now, potential employers are rejecting me due to negative references from HDFC Bank, even though they claim to have given a neutral report. This has been going on for over a year, and I’m struggling to find work.

I started working as a sales executive at Dell Network Limited just over a week ago. Unfortunately, I had to take a couple of days off due to illness. When I returned, I was let go without any explanation or pay. Is there any way I can file a case with the labour court to recover my lost salary?

I joined a recruitment firm in India a couple of months ago, but realised the role wasn’t right for me. When I resigned, they pressured me to quit without serving my notice period, threatening to deduct my salary (around ₹10,000). I’m willing to complete my notice, but they’re refusing. Now they’re saying I have no choice but to accept this. Should I send a legal notice? How can I get my full salary back?

I worked for a small company for three months but I’m not sure if they’re officially registered. The owner only paid me one month’s salary, and it was less than what we agreed on in the contract. I’m still waiting for the remaining two months’ pay. He says he’ll pay me for the second month once he gets paid by a client. He refuses to pay for the third month, claiming there was no business that month. My job was to learn the ropes, not to bring in clients or money. What should I do now?

Previous Article Our society was registered three years ago with a committee of seven members. We later added six more members, but were unaware of the legal process for changing the committee. A broker helped us with the paperwork, and all twelve committee members signed the required documents. Six members were present and signed, but the broker also had us sign on behalf of the absent members. Since we were unfamiliar with the process, we signed documents (including ID proof) for those who weren’t there. Now we want to legally change the committee and ensure everything is in order to avoid any future issues. Currently, all members are supportive and willing to sign any necessary affidavits. How can we proceed to make this change legally sound?
Next Article I’ve been fighting a legal battle for years, losing a declaration suit against the government in both the lower court and the High Court back in 2006. Since then, I’ve been trying to regularize my land through GOMS No. 166, but the officials are making it difficult. I’ve filed multiple petitions in the High Court to get stay orders and protect my possession, which I’ve held for over 60 years. I’m exhausted with the constant legal battles. Is there any hope of filing a new plea after all this time? Can anyone offer advice?
