"Harrassed by Conciliation officers"

sushil (Sr. Clerk)     14 December 2012

Dear Amit,

Give a letter to 'Conciliation Officer' and ask him to make 'failure of conciliation proceeding' - FOC within the period of 4 weeks. If he not takes any action on your letter, make a complaint against him to 'Chief Labour Commissioner-New Delhi". 

 

Regards.

Dear Sushil,

Thanks a lot for valuable suggestion, this is the matter of human rights violation and negative administrative duties under which workman was deprived by them, so I think filing complaint to chief labour commissioner is not going to work as JLC/DLC level officers seems to be involved under the conspiray, under these curcumustances administrative complaint will be dusbinned for sure. Thats why i am looking for available legal remedy through sutable court of law ( High Court ) only, so that i can lawfully enforce him to refer the case in upper labour courts.

Mr. Sushil has given valuable advice.Kindly follow it.

It shall not be so easy to throw the matter to dustbin.

If your hunch is right that CO had malafide intentions you may not give breathing time to any one and peruse RTI route and obtain all documents.

You can access highly experienced labor consultants/service lawyers at Delhi and can certainly move to court of your choice however do not leave erring officials to hrass you or fellow citizens.

Valuable advice and inputs from  the  learned experts/members is sought in this matter.

Amit there are many members who have persued such matters with full force and vigour.

It is highly unfortunate that this also happens.

sushil (Sr. Clerk)     15 December 2012

Dear Amit, 

 

You can approach to the 'High Court' for final adjudication of your matter in conciliation and ask HC for a call for records of your matters lying with 'ALC'. 

 

Regards.

Petitioner Inperson (XYZ)     15 December 2012

Dear Sushil,

Even i am thinking the same, I hope  " In Honorable High Court Delhi - Petition Under Article 226 of Constitution of India" is going to work for me only.

 

But the redressal of negetive acts of Mgmt is therefore required for sure. In the same matter, cause of action against the Conciliation Officer has arisen, which is the duty of honest citizen of india so that they can never harass anyone like this.

 

This is why i am seeking advise from Learned Members, and a reason of fighting case In Person was taken by me as Mgmt challenged me, Sounds lilltle wired but they told me that thay will purchase the orders of courts and the services of my lawyers.

As you have decided to approach HC and make CO a party, you may lodge a representation to  'Chief Labour Commissioner-New Delhi".and produce the documents to HC later.

Petitioner Inperson (XYZ)     15 December 2012

Mr. Gopal Soni,

I would like to thank you for concern and valuable support in the matter.

 

Mr. Kumar Doab,

Your suggestion to make Company a party in "High Court" seems very gud, i will have to search "related decisions" before i do it in the petition because they may also pray the court to remove them as a party becaue case of ID act was filed before conciliation officer, proceedings are pending at his hands.

Petitioner Inperson (XYZ)     15 December 2012

< Case of ID Act 1947 >

Please Provide suggestions, I was searching the files and doccuments over internet, got a solution in form of  "Industrial Dispute Act 1947 Amedment Act 2010"

: Workman's direct Acces to CGIT - LC. ( Industrial Tribunal & Labour Courts)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

THE INDUSTRIAL DIPSUTES (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2010

3- Section 2A of the principal Act shall be numbered as sub-section (1) thereof and after sub-section (l) as so numbered,
the following sub-sections shall be inserted, namely:-
“(2) Notwithstanding anything contained in section 10, any such workman as is specified in sub-section (1)
may, make an application direct to the Labour Court or Tribunal for adjudication of the dispute referred to
therein after the expiry of three months from the date he has made the application to the Conciliation Officer
of the appropriate Government for conciliation of the dispute, and in receipt of such application the Labour
Court or Tribunal shall have powers and jurisdiction to adjudicate upon the dispute, as if it were a dispute
referred to it by the appropriate Government in accordance with the provisions of this Act and all the
provisions of this Act shall apply in relation to such adjudication as they apply in relation to an industrial
dispute referred to it by the appropriate Government.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Learned members are therefore requested to advise accordingly, if this is the correct solution i am looking for. If this is the correct solution then there is no need to approach the " High Court - Under Article 226 Constitution of India".
