Service Matters

Company is not issuing no objection certificate

I was working for a Pvt mining company in Rajasthan as a mining engineer. Company is not issuing a no objection certificate (NOC). Instead, the company has issued only an experience certificate. I had submitted my resignation as I was unhappy with the company and their working methods. I had completed my 1 month notice period and they wanted me to submit my old belongings to the company and get no dues signed, which I did. 

After that the company handed only experience letter whereas they should have even given me NOC certificate which they haven’t because of which I’m not able to join any company as they require it and during this pandemic it’s taking a toll on me without the NOC I can’t work at any mining company I requested them to provide me one but they are not willing to issue one.

Termination without notice

I’m working in a private company under a work agreement. That contract does not allow the employer to fire the employee without expiration of notice period. My company has terminated. The termination is without notice. The company has fired me without notice and expiry of a thirty days notice period. What should I do when a company has breached the terms of a work contract? My total service period is sixty nine months. Does an employee have any right if he is fired in violation of the terms of agreement?

Charge sheet without preliminary inquiry and show cause notice is illegal

I have been working in the Postal Department since 2011. My past service record is very neat and clean in all respects. My senior officer did not sanction medical leave and stopped my salary for two months. He is also a disciplinary authority and he issued a charge sheet without preliminary inquiry and a show cause notice. I am facing mental harassment by a government officer who is very rude and treats his subordinate officer as a slave.  

One day when my illness became worse (there is some problem in my cervical spine and that is why I am suffering from cervical spondylitis), I applied for leave from home as my condition didn’t allow me to go to the office. My employer asked me to submit medical documents and I submitted the same, but he didn’t grant my leave and asked to join the office. Otherwise disciplinary action may be initiated against me. He also sent my medical documents to the CMO office for a second opinion.

He sent me three back to back notices directing me to join the office, but I didn’t join due to my health. I am assured that I will join the office as soon as I become fit. In spite of this, he served a charge sheet to me for submitting representation within 10 days. More importantly the opinion of the CMO is still pending.

I want to ask if my department gives me a punishment order or any other punishment like transfer etc. Can I file a court case against the department? Besides, can an OA or WP can be filed against them for not granting my leave and for holding my salary in spite of submission of medical documents?

University is refusing to reinstate me after acquittal in the criminal case

University is refusing to reinstate after acquittal. I was working as a clerk in the university. The University has initiated a departmental proceeding against me and filed a criminal case under the Prevention of Corruption Act. University has made an allegation that I take a bribe for submission of the thesis. The court has acquitted me because the prosecution failed to produce any credible evidence of illegal gratification.

When the court acquitted me, I approached the Vice-Chancellor to reinstate me immediately. He does not want to reinstate therefore causing a delay in taking a decision in my case. I have written a letter to him to reinstate me as early as possible. He replied that a departmental enquiry is still pending, therefore, reinstatement is not possible.

The departmental enquiry is pending because the enquiry officer is still waiting for the copy of the statement from the investigating officer. The investigating officer said that he had produced the police report to the concerned court therefore it was not possible to provide a copy of the statement of the witness.

An employee of the public sector bank remains absent from work for 18 to 20 days in a month. He is attending the office only for 10 to 12 days in a month due to spinal problem.

The employer has counted public holiday and Sunday in the unauthorised leave. therefore, The employee suffered a lot due to such an illegal act of the employer. If the employee clears the UPSC examination then would there be a problem in getting NOC from the employer?
