My father has been working at an inverter battery shop on Ambala Road for 35 years. The shop is owned by someone else and the rent is around ₹200 per month. He earns ₹5,000 per month but hasn’t been paid for the last 4 months. Now the owner wants to dismiss him without any reason. He is about 65 years old. What should we do?

Your father has likely developed a right to employment due to working for 35 years, even though the rent is low. You can approach the Labor Commissioner or file a complaint at the local Labor Court. He is eligible for severance pay and can contest the dismissal.

I recently got my car serviced at Mahindra First Choice in Coimbatore, and it’s been a nightmare! They’ve damaged the airbag mechanism, messed up the steering controls, and used fake parts (PANARA) claiming they were from Mahindra’s own hub. The car is now riddled with issues, and I’ve been forced to visit the service center multiple times. They even delivered it back half-wet, creating a foul odor. It took them 15 days to “service” the car, and now I’m back to square one. The service manager, Mr. Dhinesh, was incredibly rude, and the customer care team hasn’t responded to my complaints after two days. What can I do to get this resolved?

I was unfairly dismissed by REC in 1992 based on an incomplete investigation. They didn’t reveal that my travel allowance claim was never even processed, a fact they only admitted in 2014. This claim was the main reason for my dismissal, forming the basis of three out of six charges, which also included some old, baseless accusations. Since 2014, I’ve been trying to reopen the case but haven’t been successful. Can I approach the courts again, given this new information? Previously, I fought the case in court but lost, unaware of the non-processing of my travel allowance claim.

My grandfather filed a case against me in 2011 for using harsh words. I was 17 then, but the officer mistakenly wrote my age as 19. This meant I was treated as an adult, not a juvenile. Since I was young, my father handled everything and we didn’t challenge the verdict. Now, I need a copy of the case records, but officials say they don’t have them. Will I be able to get a copy of my case file?
