I graduated with a B.Tech degree from ABES Engineering College in Ghaziabad in 2016. I received a job offer from Sopra Steria during campus placements, which included a letter of intent specifying a joining deadline of September 30th. Unfortunately, I had to retake some subjects in my seventh semester, delaying my ability to join on the original date of July 18th. After clearing my subjects, I contacted Sopra Steria, but they declined my request, citing the start of their training program. However, the original letter clearly mentioned a September 30th deadline.

Based on the provided information, you might have a case for breach of contract. The letter of intent mentioning a September 30th deadline could be interpreted as a binding agreement, and Sopra Steria’s refusal to consider your request despite meeting the deadline could be considered a violation. Consulting with a lawyer specializing in employment law is recommended for a proper assessment of your legal options.

I’m about to complete two months at my job, but I’ve decided to resign to pursue a course. My contract doesn’t mention a probation period, and it says I need to give three months’ notice or pay three months’ salary if I leave before that. My company wants me to work the full three months, or pay them back my salary for the missing time. It feels unfair to work for two months and still have to serve a three-month notice period. What are my options?

Respected Sir, I worked as an Assistant in LIC between 1988 and 1989, serving for a total of 140 days. The Supreme Court recently (on 18-03-2005) ruled in the case of TTF TTL v/s LIC (civil appeal no. 6950/2009) regarding the absorption of temporary employees, upholding the validity of CGIT award ID no. 27 of 1991. As per LIC’s call notification, I meet all the eligibility criteria. Therefore, I would like to know: 1. Am I eligible for regular employment in LIC based on this Supreme Court decision and award? 2. If not, what avenues are available to me for regularization?

However, after a new individual was hired, my work came under unwarranted scrutiny. Despite facing staffing shortages, I was expected to deliver exceptional performance.

What legal options do I have to address this unfair treatment?

My mother worked for BBMB and passed away before retirement. We’re going through the process of getting a succession certificate in the District Court. I applied for a job at BBMB on compassionate grounds, but they’ve stalled my application, saying they can’t consider it until the court case is settled. Is this right? The succession certificate and job seem unrelated. We have five siblings; two brothers have passed away, and both my sisters are married. What are my options?
