I’ve been a Senior Executive at a private multinational company for the past 7 years. Six years ago, I was involved in an accident while returning from a client meeting and lost my right arm. Since then, my company moved me to a desk job and cut my salary by 50%. While I’ve continued working, the company is now considering layoffs. Could they legally terminate my employment? I haven’t claimed any compensation under the Employees Compensation Act. What should I do?

Your company cannot terminate your employment due to your disability. Indian laws protect employees with disabilities and prevent discrimination based on medical conditions. You should consult a lawyer to understand your legal rights and discuss options for challenging the salary reduction and protecting your job security.

I’ve been working as a temporary peon at LIC for the past 10 months. All the permanent peons have been promoted, so there are no regular positions available. My contract states that if a permanent peon is hired, my job will end. The Supreme Court recently ruled in favor of regularizing full-time temporary employees in Tamil Nadu. What will happen to our future if LIC replaces us with permanent employees? What options will we have if we are let go?

I’ve been with a startup for a while and recently received an offer from another company in India. I’m leaning towards accepting it, but my current startup’s founder says I can’t because of a non-compete agreement I signed. He’s threatening legal action if I join. The non-compete says I can’t work for any company that directly competes with them for two years, but it doesn’t define what a “competing business” is. Does this mean any similar business? The agreement also doesn’t mention any geographical limits. It doesn’t say whether the restriction applies only in India, my city, or globally. Is this non-compete clause reasonable?

My cousin, just 24 years old, tragically lost his life in a fire on a cargo ship near Mumbai. He was the sole breadwinner for his family, who live in a small village. The shipping company offered a paltry sum of 4 lakh rupees in compensation, which his family rightfully refused. We later discovered the company was a sham, shutting down their offices after the accident. I filed a case in the Delhi High Court, but sadly, the lawyer informed me that getting any compensation for his parents seems impossible. What options do they have now?

My ex-employer in India was struggling financially, leading to late salaries, no bonus payments, and broken promises about payouts. They also enforced a 3-month notice period without pay or deductions from final settlements. My Form 16 was delayed until August, and many colleagues faced difficulties securing loans due to irregular paychecks. Can I file a case against them for mental harassment and to recover my outstanding dues?

Previous Article Seeking Guidance on Inherited Temple Land in Beed I have inherited land registered in the name of a temple in Beed district, Maharashtra. My father’s name, along with other family members, appears in the ‘other rights’ section of the 7/12 document. My father has passed away. The land consists of five survey numbers and was acquired by the government for a dam construction project many years ago. I have a few questions:1. How can I identify the specific survey numbers that were acquired?2. I suspect that compensation for the acquired land was released, and my cousin may have claimed my father’s share without informing me. How and where can I find information on who received the compensation? 3. How can I learn about the current status of the remaining land? Is it still with my cousin or has it been sold? I would appreciate any advice on how to navigate this situation, including recommendations for a reputable lawyer in Beed. Thank you for your time and assistance.
