Delhi HC asks AIIMS to pay over ₹50 lakh to illegally terminated employee
The Hindu
Justice Prathiba M. Singh directed that the man be paid ₹50,49,079 towards salary for the period from December 4, 1998, which is the date of award, and the date of superannuation.
The Delhi High Court has directed the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to pay over ₹50 lakh to a former employee, who was illegally terminated from service, noting that the man has been running from pillar to post for the last several years.
Raj Singh, who was appointed as a driver by AIIMS sometime in the 1980s, will also be paid ₹19,900 as pension every month.
According to the petitioner, he was illegally terminated after which he approached the labour court. The labour court in December 1998 held that the termination of service was an unfair labour practice, Mr. Singh said in his petition.
