My wife worked at the Thanjavur Division of LIC India in Tamil Nadu for over three months, from December 1985 to March 1986. She had appointment orders, but they were lost during the devastating Chennai floods of 2015. I requested copies through an RTI application, but LIC India stated they have no records from that period. The recent Supreme Court judgement on contempt of court (09/08/2016) and the earlier decision (18/03/2015) have raised concerns about securing permanent employment without proof. I’m seeking advice on how to navigate this situation.

Under Indian law, the burden of proof lies with LIC India to demonstrate they have no records of your wife’s employment. You should consult a lawyer specializing in labor law to explore options like filing a writ petition challenging LIC’s response, or seeking evidence from other sources like former colleagues or witnesses. The recent Supreme Court judgments highlight the importance of preserving documents and could strengthen your case.
