Sir, I am working in a PSU where peculiar incidence occurred. An employee appointed as Cat -I Mzr and later on promoted to the clerical grade. When he was appointed as Cat-I mzr his date of birth was recorded Feb 1958. Later on when he submitted his matriculate cert to get promotion it is seen that there is difference in between earlier recorded date of birth and HSC. As per HSC his date of birth is Feb 1954 . He got all promotional benefits on the basis of HSC. Accordingly employer decided to verify the cert from the concerned board to ascertain the genuineness of the cert. Several correspondence were made with the concerned board and requisite fees also paid but till date board authority did not reply. As the superannuation time is approaching management issued his superannuation notice on the basis of HSC. As per HSC he will be retiring from the service wef 28.02.14. Now the concerned employee take the shelter of law and got interim stay. Hon'Ble court directed to maintain the status quo till the outcome of decision. Now wheat steop management will take
1. Whether he will continue in his existing grade & capacity

Dear All,
I am in need of your guidance in the following matter:-
- My client has served more than 8 years continuously in a Public Limited Company covered under Payment of Gratuity Act.
- He had resigned from the services of the company before six months back (September 2013) but he was not relieved by the company and informed him after one week of his resignation that some decisions which were taken by him during his last two years of tenure are being enquired.
- My client after waiting a period of two months started correspondence with the company to pay his entire dues including amount of gratuity but they did not respond.
- Due to this he lodged his claim with controlling authority under payment of gratuity act on 2nd Dec 2013.
- After lodging claim with the authority by my client, they informed him on 7.12.13 that services of my client terminated due to misconduct / lack of confidence in my client and lodged a vague FIR on 10th Dec'13 just to give strength to their decision of termination.
- They have done this all just to grab the amount of gratuity as gratuity is not payable in case of termination.
My query is can employer terminate the services of employee after tendering his resignation that too after 4 months of his resignation while during his long tenure with the company he was never given any letter / charge sheet about lack of confidence / misconduct.

Respected Sir,
My query is whether private hospitals particularly corporate hospitals or hospitals under management of body corporates is an Industry. It is the same service sector like restaurants and Hotels which are not covered by Factories Act, 1948. Hence is there any law in our country which provides for protection to people in service organisations in private sector.Does the ID Act covers above workmen if he or she is retrenched or dismissed from service.

Sc order upholding majithia wage board recommendations
Dear Sir,
The SC has upheld the Majithia Wage Board recommendations for Working Journalists and non-Journalists in its judgment dated 07 Feb 2014 and ordered the petitioner newspaper establishments to implement the revised wages w.e.f. April 2014 and to pay the arrears w.r.e.f. 11.11.2011 when the Central Government notified the recommendations.
Now I want to know from the experts as to what may be the penal consequences if a newspaper establishment does not comply the recommendations in view of the SC judgment and also what prosecution may be initiated against the establishment under the Working Journalists Act,1955 and the Contempt of Court Act,1971 by the Supreme Court for violating and non complying the Supreme Court order for implementing the Majithia Wage Board recommendations.
