Where can a government employee challenge a service order?
Central Government employees, and employees of certain other bodies, generally approach the Central Administrative Tribunal, while many State employees approach the High Court through a writ petition. The correct forum depends on your employer and the order in question.
What can I do if I was dismissed without an inquiry?
A dismissal without the required procedure can often be challenged. Depending on your employment, you may approach a tribunal, a labour court or the High Court. Act promptly, as delay can affect your remedies.
Do you advise employers on POSH compliance?
Yes. We help employers constitute Internal Committees, draft policies and conduct compliant inquiries under the Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2013.
