My friend is working in Central Government office in Mumbai (Maharashtra). He was appointed as temporary in the office in May 2002 for clerical post along with 15 other people. He was not given any break for his employment. His performance is also good.
After almost 9 years his office wants to remove him along with other 15 people simply because they want to privatize the work (they want to give work to private agencies). What they are planning is to confirm all those employees which are appointed as temporary before 1999 and still in the service.
Is Labor Law permit to do such termination by a government office? If yes then what will my friend do because his age is not suit to apply for any other government job also his experience is not counted for any other private job. Considering that my friend is married he is really in trouble.
Kindly guide what we can do in this case.
