Transferred to remote area where no medical facility available to a kidney patient

I have been recently transferred by the Director-General of ASI to a remote area which is also far away from my wife. It is distressing because my wife, who is also a state government employee, is worried about my health. I’m currently battling kidney failure and there is no one available to care for me. I have already submitted representations to my competent authority, requesting a modification of the transfer order. Therefore, in light of these circumstances, I kindly request that my situation be taken into consideration. Can I approach the high court for any relief?

Not getting salary due to issue in my New Pension Scheme (NPS)

I’m a central government employee. previously i was working in a govt dept as an mts, and there my nps account was opened by them. after that i got selected in Delhi police as Sub inspector so, took normal resignation from mts. There (delhi police), for the first 3 months they pay without deducting NPS. After 2 months in training, I got selected in central excise dept, so applied for technical resignation from Delhi police. Meanwhile I submitted nps transfer form, but they said that for first 3 months training we pay without deducting nps, and the whole salary will be transferred to your salaried account, and when they will start deduction for nps, I will be resigned. so don’t transfer the nps here, transfer it directly to excise dept where I was going to join. And all i got in my salaried account.

Now it has been 4 months in excise department I got no salary here. they are saying that you took technical resignation from Delhi police means your service has to be added. But according to your NPS account, no data is found about Delhi police. No nps deduction from Delhi police is showing in NPS portal. that’s why they are not giving me any salary. Now I’m in a huge debt. please suggest me. isn’t there any rule to pay at least basic pay up to when the issue is not solved because here i have been working since 4 months? if they make me work, they should pay me. isn’t it? Please suggest what should I do. Thankyou

Stopping of Pension or getting pension in part of my deceased father

My mother died in 1996, and in 1998 my father got second marriage. My father was a govt employee and now the pension is being completely acquired by my stepmother. She took all the retirement benefits and did a lot of misdeeds with me. I am 30 year old and even do not have my own home, because it is subjugated by my stepmother and his two children. Is there any way of claiming part in pension or stop the pension that my stepmother is getting. Kindly help in that case.

Will the government of Telangana regularize our services?

We, the employees working in the O/o. Telangana State Council of Higher Education (A Statutory Body of the Telangana State), have been working on a Consolidated monthly remuneration for the past 10 to 15 years, with the hope that the Government of Telangana will regularize our services. The Finance (HRM.I) Department, Government of Telangana, has issued a government order vide G.O.Ms.No.38, Dated: 30.04.2023, for the regularization of the services of Contract personnel based on the proposals received from the concerned administrative departments.

However, since the Telangana State Council of Higher Education is under the 10th schedule of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act of 2014, commonly known as the Telangana Act, the consolidated employees belonging to Andhra Pradesh are still working, and we, the employees belonging to Telangana, are 20 persons working in different cadres which come under Group-IV, struggling to get our employment regularized.

Furthermore, our employees’ data has not been listed in the Government orders vide G.O.Ms.No.38, Dated: 30.04.2023. We, therefore, request you to do the needful and help in the regularization of our services.

I left my organisation before the due date

Hi, I left the organization after resigning, but the company had me sign a document stating new KPIs and that I should stay with the company until a certain date. However, I left before that date due to a couple of concerns, providing the company with 30 days of intimation. Now, upon asking for my relieving letter, they are referring to that document and stating that I breached it, and are preventing me from working for a new organization. Can you please suggest what I should do?

Whether it is legal for an employer to withhold an employee’s salary

The legal issue at hand is whether it is legal for an employer to withhold an employee’s salary for May 2020, on the grounds of treating the employee as absent, when the employee stayed at home during lockdown under the protection of vulnerable people clause. The employee in question is an employee of the WB Govt. STU and has multiple co-morbidities, making them vulnerable to the COVID-19 pandemic. The employer’s decision to withhold the salary may raise questions about the employer’s compliance with labor laws and regulations, specifically regarding the rights and protections of vulnerable employees during a pandemic. This legal issue could potentially involve an analysis of the terms and conditions of the employee’s contract, labor laws, and regulations related to employee rights and protection, as well as any government guidelines related to vulnerable employees during the COVID-19 pandemic.

State government has denied paying salaries to the employees of affiliated colleges because of paucity of fund

We are non-teaching staff of the seven colleges have affiliation from the XXX university. Our services are approved by the government, and we are duly appointed in accordance with the rules of the university. But the university has denied paying salaries to the employees of affiliated colleges because of paucity of fund. The appointment process for non-teaching staff at XXX University is governed by Chapter 20 of the Ist Statute. Additionally, Statute 21.01, which refers to Section 49(e) of the 1973 Act, defines a salaried employee who is not a college teacher. Furthermore, Statute 21.02(1) empowers the management to appoint non-teaching staff. According to Statute 21.03(4), appointments made by the Committee of Management and the Principal must be submitted for approval to the Director of Higher Education. If the approval is not granted within two months of receipt, the appointments will be deemed to have been approved. In our case approval was obtained. The state government has issues a circular and denied to paying salaries.

Acquitted in criminal case but departmental enquiry is still ongoing

Despite being acquitted in a criminal case, a departmental inquiry is still underway against me. The dispute arose from the checking of vehicles used for transporting contraband psychotropic substances. An officer from the regional office planted a false story to implicate me in the case, leading to both a departmental inquiry and a criminal case being instituted against me.

The higher officer deliberately delayed the departmental inquiry with the intention of involving me in the false case. Fortunately, I was acquitted in the criminal case. However, when I approached the department to drop the departmental inquiry, they refused to do so. In this situation, I may be able to file a case against the department.
