The Telangana High Court has issued a notice to Tech Mahindra in Hyderabad for failing to provide a relieving letter to a former employee.

This notice addresses concerns over employee rights related to the issuance of relieving letters.

The court has also summoned Vinay Agarwal, head of Tech Mahindra’s Human Resources department, to appear before the High Court on November 8.

Tech Mahindra: Telangana High Court Verdict

The situation stems from a notice sent by Balakrishna to Tech Mahindra in July, requesting his relieving letter.

Although the company eventually issued a letter, it allegedly included discriminatory remarks about his departure, contrasting with letters given to other exiting employees.

Balakrishna’s advocate emphasized that employees have a statutory right to receive a relieving letter under the Industrial Employment (Standing Orders) Act of 1946 and related rules.

After returning company assets, Balakrishna’s last working day was recorded as February 28.

However, he reportedly faced harassment for six months and did not receive a month’s salary.

This is linked to the company’s refusal to issue the relieving letter.

A complaint was lodged with the joint commissioner of labour in Rangareddy district on April 8.

Despite several meetings, Balakrishna was only provided a partial salary.

Legal Implications

The Telangana Shops and Establishments Act prohibits giving a two-month notice period upon resigning.

Additionally, concerns have been raised about Tech Mahindra’s policies regarding working hours, overtime, leave, and break policies.

These policies were not mentioned in the offer letter, suggesting further violations of the 1946 Act.

The Telangana High Court has taken a firm stance on the issue.

They highlighted the importance of employee rights and the need for companies to adhere to statutory requirements.

The court’s notice to Tech Mahindra and the summoning of the HR head underscore the seriousness of the matter.

The Telangana High Court’s notice to Tech Mahindra serves as a reminder of the legal obligations companies have.

The case highlights the importance of fair treatment and adherence to labor laws, ensuring that employees’ rights are protected.
