This query is : Resolved
Dear sir,
I am retired person - 63 years.
At the age of 38 yrs. with Blue Dart Express Ltd. Leading courier company, upon their un -justifiable and wague allegation , they have suspended from my services. Matter referred to Labour court and is in my favour ordering to re-instate me on my same post with continuity of service.
At high court, - also ordered to petitioner company to re-instate and to-day matter is pending for back wages issue.
Gratuity order was in my favour but again company has filed petition and pendoing and clubed with original matter.ordering of Rs.1.50 lacs. + interest.
IN PF company has altered date of Joining and retirement in their interest for which police complain is done & waiting for their reply.
Even to-day company is not in position to prove their allegation and L.C has given order in my favour stating that the steps of suspension & simplicitor termination is illegal and wrong .
Now For defamation where should I apply ?
How much stamp duty be paid on amt. of Rs.1.00 lacs. ?
Should I go for Crime defamation where I save stamp duty ? Whether beneficial ?
Whether the matter resolved immediately ? Normally how much time it takes for conclusion ?
I expect your guidance as I am retired and all my savings I have spent in legal expenses etc.
Please help and guide me for.
If any proper lawyer you pls. suggest.
Thanks.

you may consult a lawyer of the High Court whether a contempt petition lies with cost of say 10-50 lakhs for your mental agony and being a senior citizen.the case does not seem to be complicated. pl. do not go in for big lawyers.

No defamation is made out in the given facts. You might have duly been compensated by Labour Court hence speed up your pending litigation and get the actual fruits of your struggle instead of opening new fronts.
