Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace

Hello,

Though late, yet appreciably the Supreme Court did think of getting a legislation in the above matter. The Vishaka case has really made many aware of this.

But I still dont know whether such an act has been passed or is still pending? If no, why has such a delay been caused? Please clarify my doubt. If possible can you please give facts of the Vishaka case in a nutshell and guide me as to from where can i get other such cases to refer the same?

Employement issue

Hello there

Can anyone help me out in the following case:

I gave my resignation letter on 2nd July, 09 from the position of manager in a pvt.co with a willingness to work during the notice period..

The company stopped my payment of salary for the month of June, 09 and told me that the June, 09 salary and the notice period salary shall be paid to you along with your full and final payment..ie. in my case after 2nd sept, 09

My question is can such action of company be held legal?

Can holding of salary for the period of 3 months where the notice period is 2 months allowed...?

Is there any remedy..?

Please guide me

Medical Leave

I joined in a company in coimbatore on March 4 , 2009. On March 24th 2009 I have met with an accident and was hospitalised for 1 week. Moreover I was not able to walk for 25 days due the severity of the injury and doctor also advised for 1 month rest.

I have duly communicated everything to the company rightfrom the accident and I have also submitted all medical copies along with a medical certificate given by the doctor.

But the company refused to grant me any medical leaves stating , as per the company rules sick leave or medical leaves are not permitted and Only Casual leave and previlege leaves are allowed.

Can a company refuse to grant a medical leave ? What does our labour say for this ?

Problem with Advocate/Advocate Extorting Money

My advocate is collecting huge amounts on account of Court Fee, the subject of which is out of my knowledge and says that since my case is complicated one he needs to bribe some one to get the case on the bench. The bribe amount as per him runs into half a lakh rupees.

My case is simple one and is to obtain certified copies of certain information from District Registrar under Specific Releif Act.

On some account or other he says he needs money.

How do I obtain No objection Certificate and my case related papers from him as I do not want to continue with his service.

This may sound offending, but it is true, what is the solution for this?
