Termination during pendency of dispute - Complaint under Section 33A Termination during pendency of dispute - Complaint under Section 33A

9 months ago

I was dismissed during the pendency of a wage dispute citing scaling down of editorial operations. My complaint made under Sec 33A was dismissed by the Labour Court under the premise that there was complete closing down of editorial operations. In the High Court, the management has come forward to have a settlement but seems to be dragging the issue. I fear the settlement might be a ploy to delay the matter till a change in portfolio. My fear gets compounded as the Court Diary shows only adjourned to... without mentioning the reason against Business column. I am a party-in-person. What should I do now to make the court official write Settlement against Business column?

A.Dear Client,
Did you share your concern with the Advocate representing your case before the High Court? Did the Appellant Company take a motion for settlement before the Court? In the given situation, you need to ask your Advocate to put the matter mentioning Settlement against Business column and move the matter on the date of the next hearing to avoid a delay in the hearing and disposal of the writ petition on the basis of settlement as approached/proposed by the appellant company.
