Respected Sir/madam
I am Manzoor Ahmad.I am working in Delhi Public School Anantnag Kashmir.My question is regarding school canteen.I got a permission from Management for running a school canteen upto March 2013.But in the month of June one of the relatives of the Management locked my canteen asked me to handover the canteen to us .I refused and they locked it for 50 days.Whole the stock of the items got damaged.The permission got from the management is on the plain paper.after that I many times informed the management to make the payment for my damage,but they never give me clear answer.Now i want to file a case in the court.Before filing a case I want o send them legal notice .How can I send them a legal notice.What will be the result If I will file a case in the court against management.I am also working in the same school.Is there any possibility of losing job when I will file a case against them.Now from last four days I am not attending the school.Principal of the school is calling me and saying that you are an employee and and you are getting salray and canteen is some what different.Now I am in trauma what will I do either to leave the school and fight against them & I am also thinking if I will be ther that will make me physically weak.Hope you will give me better reply
Thanking You

An employee cannot run canteen without sacrificing the interests of the duty.
you can file civil suit for damages and can also get the canteen restored upto March 2013. But it is least likely you may get some decision by that date.
It is you who has to cosider if job is priority or canteen for limited period.

It was not I who was running the canteen,but it was my sales man who was rumnning it.

does not matter.
running canteen does not mean that you are yourself cleaning utencils and coocking food. It was you who was running the canteen that is the reasons why are you so perturbed on the closure.
Further i believe schools are bound to follow service conditions as per Govt emploees (atleast on papers). They may be having some conduct rules.
