This query is : Resolved
Dear Sir/Madam,
We have received a letter from a lady seeking for maintenance from her husband who is working with our organization. The letter we have received is through courier but it contains typing matter about the dowry she paid to him and other payments paid by her father. Now she has written a letter to our Chairman stating that she requires his 50% of salary. I am very sure that untill and unless we have a directions from the court of law by the hon'ble Judge we can not take any further step. Moreover our employee have not informed about this issue to us. Please guide us that what further step we can actually take. Also direct us some other ways. Expecting your response as soon as possible.
Regards Indu

Throw it in dustbin.
At the most, show it to ur employee.
Reason: u r not in oicture.
not binding to reply.
no need to commit, he is working for ur firm. Why give evidence?? against your own man.
Just keep ur staff informed, that too, unofficially.
U hv no liability.
If at all u pleased to reply, simply state that U r not concerned [concern had no business ] to look into personal matter of anybody, whether our employee or not. Such letters are shredded & thrown in dustbin.
So do not communicate in future.

Why Co. shd spent time/ money/ for unrelated work??
Co is for profit making, and shd not incur any cost, any time of staff or stationery & postage.
Co. shd not commit anything.
Staff working is Confidential matter.
Even RTI cannot ask details.
U need not disclose, who are ur staff, what is their salary.
Only on Court Order. & Court will not order.
If u reply, she can ask court to summon you.

Legally speaking, you are neither required to reply nor denied to reply/ No legal action can be got initiated against your organization on the basis of demand of 50% salary or not providing any information to her or to ignore the letter.
So the decision totally depends upon your organization what to do.
