📅 Filed: 2023 | Duration: 5 months | Status: Relief granted, dues recovered
Client: Mr. Venkatesh (Name Changed)
Case Type: Salary Denial, Employment Violation, Labour & Civil Complaint
Jurisdiction: Karimnagar Labour Court & Civil Court
Mr. Venkatesh worked as a secondary school teacher in a reputed private school in **Karimnagar** for over 2 years. Due to administrative delays and alleged "low admissions," the school stopped paying his salary for 8 consecutive months, despite extracting regular work without break or termination.
After multiple polite follow-ups, the management not only refused to clear dues but **denied his employment verbally**, creating false records and removing his name from internal rosters. This amounted to a serious **breach of employment law**, **fraudulent misrepresentation**, and denial of **fundamental wage rights**.
Advocate Abdul Kaleem filed a **labour complaint under Payment of Wages Act**, and a **civil suit for recovery of dues and damages**. Evidence included WhatsApp messages, attendance records, ID card photos, and teacher WhatsApp group messages. Legal notice was also sent under **Section 80 CPC** prior to civil action.
The school management opted for **out-of-court settlement**, after preliminary hearing and court’s observation against unethical practices. The client was paid ₹1,80,000 (salary + interest) and issued an official service letter.
🔍 Key Legal Highlights:
- Legal notice issued under Section 80 CPC
