You can file a complaint with the Labour Commissioner for unfair labelling and wage theft. You can also pursue a civil claim for defamation and breach of contract in a court of law.

Previous Article I bought a flat in Wave City Centre, Noida, for around ₹30 lakhs three years ago. The construction is painfully slow and looks like it’ll take another five years to finish. I’m losing interest in the project and the builder. Is there a simple way to get my money back with interest? Is there a specific law in the Indian Penal Code I can use in this situation? Please help!
Next Article I served in the CISF from 2007 to 2010. My probation period was from June 16, 2007, to June 16, 2009. During this time, I received three disciplinary actions for disobeying orders. One instance involved a shift from family quarters to the barracks in July 2008. Due to illness, I shifted on August 4, 2008, and provided a doctor’s note for a four-day sick leave. Despite this, the authorities found it unsatisfactory and issued a disciplinary action. On another occasion, I was charged for an accident while riding a motorcycle without a helmet, which I considered a lawful order. The punishment was a seven-day pay fine. Lastly, I was charged for requesting a written order from the shift incharge, again resulting in a seven-day pay fine. For each of these charges, I requested a formal inquiry but was denied, with the authorities stating that they have the discretion to decide whether an inquiry is conducted or not.
