Gainfully employed

Dear Experts,

What are the criteria for assessing gainful employment?

Let me be clarified on account of the following circumstances:

I was working in a psu bank and dismissed during 2000, while I was drawing a total emolument of around Rs.10,000/- per month.  

After the dismissal I was jobless for around one and a half year and got a job with a salary of Rs.2,500/- per month and

Now I am getting around Rs.18,000/- per month after a hard work of around 12 years.  

If I am in the service of psu now, I would be drawing around 30,000/- per month.  

 

The dismissal was illegal and I could win the case.     In the above scenario

Whether I am eligible for back wages and if not why?

 

Regards,

Govindarajan

Dear Ramasamy,

You need not disclose about your current job. It is a responsibility of the your previous employer (mangement of Bank ) to prove that you are employed gainfully during the pendency of your case before Labour Court. Pl. see the following judgement by Karnataka High Court for your reference.

 

B.D.K. Process Controls Private ... vs Bharatiya Mazdoor Sangha on 5 July, 2005

Dear Sushil,

Thanks for your reply.

I failed to furnish the following in my previous post.  Please consider the following and reply suitably.

I was dismissed in 1999 and the appeal filed with the appellate authority was dismissed in 2000.  Thereafter we should have approached either the tribunal or labour court, but filed a writ petition in 2004, after a lapse of three and a half year, in madras high court without exhausting the remedy available i.e., tribunal and labour court.

Please advise.

Regards,

Govindarajan

what was the outcome of the WP in High Court.

Dear Ramasamy,

You are not furnished that before dismissal, your bank has initiated departmental enquiry against you or not. On what ground you approached to appellate authority? Who was the appellate authority? You said that your matter is pending before Hon'ble HC. Is your matter ready for final hearing? I think HC would sent your matter either to Labour Commissioner or to the labour Court with a direction to dispose it of in a specific period  if it found your employer's intention is malafied.

Seen other thread also.  No dates are mentioned.

 

When WP is pending, where does the question of "gainful employment" arise at this stage. The relevance is not clear.

 

However at rpesent you are earning since the day you were employed for Rs 2500 having lost a job of Rs 10000.  You are gaining some money so are gainfully employed.  You never stated yourself to hve worked in charitable capacity.
