A small employee named J.N.Ganatra at Rajkot died on 30th April,2012. He was wrongfully dismissed by Morvi Municipality on 1-12-1970. He fought for 26 years and in 1996, Supreme Court decreed suit in his favour. Few days ago, he had told me on phone that he has been paid some amount but some amount is still not been paid under Supreme Court Decree and his execution application is still pending in Morvi Civil court. For 42 years, upto his death, he kept insisting for justice.
I see that a number of employees are dragged upto Supreme Court by Municipality and large fees are paid to lawyers by Municipality.
Even after judgements of Supreme Court, Municipality keeps fighting with employee. Five other employees named J.L.Pandya and others have filed application in Supreme Court that Municipality is dragging them in court battles and is not paying them dues. These people are about 73 Years old and they are still fighting for justice against Morvi Municipality.
I wonder why Morvi Municipality is doing this to its employees?
