Dear Experts....
I would like to seek advice for my Labour matter which is in process in Mumbai, Bandra Labour court...
To give a brief about my case...:
I was working with an MNC for last 4 yrs and it was a settled job... where i had recieved awards and was performance apprasals reguarly... i then got selected to work as a marketing manager in another MNC in bombay itself...
After 4.5 months of joining they asked mi to resign and said that they would compensate mi with upto 6 months salary... (i.e. for the remaining 1.5 months).. which they eventually did.
I tried applying for jobs elsewhere, but i had lost my self confidence and went under depression.. further after a couple of months, i approached the Labour Commissioner office in Bandra.. and went for mediation, which failed and now the case is in Bandra Labour court...
I have filed my Claim statement... to which the company was to file their reply.. but instead they have filed an application (a document which i for not know the legal term for) stating that, the case is not maintainable in this court.. next date is 11th April, 2016.
Please note that the Judge is yet to be appointed in that court... the bench is empty. :)
All this happened in October, 2012 and i have asked for my reinstatement of job...
My queries ---
1. What is the next step that are to be taken or what is the proceedure to be followed.
2. How long will this go?
3. I have shifted to Australia with my Husband and kid, and yet i haven been able to find a job here. Will this affect my case?
4. The MNC also has an office in Australia.. can i ask for reinstatement with change of location?
5. I haven yet informed the company about my Shifting... should i inform them about this?
Please note: since i am not working and not earning, i have appointed a lawyer to handle this case on commission basis... since he is a Jr and has recently started his legal career...
Hoping for some advice and guidance from the experts and seniors...
Best regards
Simi
