There is a general presumption that, the legislature does not intend to exceed its jurisdiction. An act relating to religious and charitable institutions would be presumed to be applicable only inrespect of the properties or any part thereof situate in the STateThe 1960 Act however makes the provision explicit,clear and unambiguous. The Property of TRust situate within Maharashtra region in terms of CI 4(b) Order is to be deemed to be registered wsith the charity commissioner Bombay.The said authority could thus have exercised its jurisdiction only in respect of that property.It had no jurisdiction in relation to the administration of the entire trustas the office of the Trust is situate within the STate of Gujarat.The Assistant charity commissioner therefore could not have issue direction as prayed for in the application filed before it by respondent A statutory authority as is well known, must exercise its jurisdiction within the four corners of the statute.It cannot go beyond the same Thus the jurisdiction of the charity commissioner Bombay must be held ggo be confined only to themanagement of property situate within the State of Maharashtra and not in relation to the entire Trust However in the event such an application is filed indisputably the same has to be determined on its own merit.

Urgent - notice period and buyout option

Dear Experts,
I am working as a Permanent employee in Pvt Ltd IT firm. I have been working here since October 2015. I have put down my paper on 9th September 2016 as I got a job in another firm. Notice period in my organization is 3 months. But considering my experience level no organization will wait for 3 months. Considering this I lied to the new firm that notice period is 2 months. This firm is ready to wait for 2 months but my problem is my current firm is not willing to relieve me. Following are the clauses mentioned in my Offer letter regarding termination of service.

2.Termination and Notice:

2.1. Upon confirmation of your employment , either party may terminate the contract by giving three(3) month’s notice or three (3) month’s salary in lieu of notice.

-------------------------------------------
I have requested them to relieve me after completion of 2 months of my notice period and remaining 1 month , I will buy-out . Unfortunately , they have rejected my request and told me that I have to serve the complete notice period of 3 months. The offer letter doesn’t mention anywhere that Payment of salary in lieu of notice period shall be at the sole discretion of the Company.
I find this very unfair. Is there any legal way (any clause in employment law) using which I can serve only two months of notice period and buyout the remaining one , and also get my experience letter? Also, Can I enforce notice period buyout from my company?

Amendments totrust deed

Dear learned experts,

We are a charitable trust registered under Bombay Public Trust Act.

We would like to add the aims and objectives and amend few clauses to the revised trust deed.

We have approached a lawyer and the lawyer said since the Bombay public trust act is abolished, we need to seek direction under section 92 of civil procedure.

As per our trust deed there is a clause which states that we need to take prior approval from commissioner of income tax for any amendments.

We have approached the income tax commissioner intimating that we would like to have amendments to the revised trust deed.

Should we take first the approval from commissioner of income tax or seek directions under section 92 of civil procedure or vice versa.

Please guide us with your valuable suggestions.

Thanking you in anticipation.

Notice period on resigntion

Dear Sir/madam,

I had recently resigned from my present employer and given 47 days notice communication and ready to pay balance 13 days to employer (60 days notice as per appointment letter). Have got the acknowledgement from the employer in the form of Resignation Acceptance Letter.

But, my line manager asked me to submit the laptop and company sim card on the very next day of my resignation and blocked the mail id as well. Normally this will happen whenever there is an integrity issue. Now here the situation is clearly ego. The same thing has happened to one of my collegue as well who resigned on the same day.

This is actually embarassing us to be with de-link from the work and sit at idle till our last working day.

My queries in this regard are..

1. Although he is at "power of authority", can he voilate the exit procedure?
2. He is ready to pay the notice period but taken laptop & sim card on very next day. This is very embarassing and creating false impression in the job market on our career.
3.This is creating lot of mental agony and frustration because of this kind of exit. Can I send a legal notice to the employer (line manager. If so I have to send the legal notice during my notice period or even after getting full & final settlement from the employer?
4.If I send the notice, Can I join with any other organisation after my last working day (as per resignation letter)?


I want to initiate this and expecting this will not happen in future with my other collegues, because this is how he will treat the employees who reports in his division.

Please suggest.

Thanks,
Naveen
