As a science teacher with a disability, I was employed at a university college in Haryana. The acting principal subjected me to harassment and threatened to terminate my services. Despite reporting this to the Vice Chancellor, he did not intervene. After just four months, the acting principal recommended my termination during probation, which the VC approved without following proper procedure. University rules state only the Syndicate can terminate a probationer’s services, yet the VC got the Syndicate to approve my dismissal after the fact. Are there any legal precedents where a probationer’s services were reinstated after such an unjust termination?

In India, termination during probation must adhere to the terms of the employment contract and university rules. The VC’s bypassing of proper procedure and the Syndicate’s subsequent approval raise questions of fairness and legality. While there may not be specific precedents on reinstating probationers in similar situations, you could explore legal options for challenging the termination based on procedural irregularities and potential harassment.

Hi, I’m a doctor and just joined a beauty clinic. They made me sign a contract saying I can’t work in any hair transplant or skin clinics after leaving. Is this legal? My whole medical career is in these fields, so what else can I do if I can’t practice dermatology? Any advice would be really appreciated!

I was working as a senior resident at a North Delhi Municipal Corporation hospital in Delhi. I was on contract for 90 days, starting on May 13, 2016, and my contract was renewed several times. However, during my last tenure, which began on November 9, 2016, and ended on February 5, 2017, I applied for maternity leave on January 3, 2017, with the leave starting on January 16, 2017. Instead of getting my maternity leave, my contract wasn’t extended, and I was relieved from my duties. Can you please advise me on how to proceed?

I’ve been trying to find a bank job for the past year, but I’m facing a tough hurdle. Most government banks and private companies now require a 60% score in my degree, even government organizations are asking for the same. This makes it incredibly hard for someone like me, from the general category, to find opportunities. Without fee exemptions, is there anything I can legally do about this minimum percentage requirement? I know it’s my fault for not scoring higher, but it feels like the government is also closing doors on us.

As a lecturer in Computer Applications at a polytechnic college in Madhya Pradesh, I was appointed in 2008 under the 2004 recruitment rules. My salary was fixed at ₹15,600 – ₹39,100 with an Academic Grade Pay (AGP) of ₹6,000 during the sixth pay revision. Recently, my principal issued an order reducing my AGP to ₹5,400, citing a clarification from the AICTE’s January 2016 Gazette (referring to their 2010 guidelines). This change supposedly applies to science and humanities subjects, but my branch, Computer Applications, is a technical degree. There’s no other postgraduate degree available in Computer Applications.

I’ve been working as a department manager in a private company for over 6 years, earning around 45 thousand rupees a month. Recently, I was asked to resign. I’ve heard that after 5 years of service, an employee can’t be fired unless there’s a serious misconduct issue. Is this true? What legal options do I have? I’m keen to keep my job.
