I have basic question always that will be in my mind is " when Vijaya Bank DGM, qualified Executive, who has at his disposal Team of Lawyer & Legal Department of the Bank can plead " Ignorance of Law " to get justice to the Bank & to do injustice to one Mr.K Karriappa , a Peon respondent in the case on presumption that Class Four employee, understands the difference between Resignation & Voluntary Retirement & when IBA admits that Awards staff doesnot have VRS scheme.
May god Save Vijaya Bank.
May god Save Vijaya Bank.

Vijay bank is commiting a fraud on its own workmen. In order avert an order of dismissal from the SUPREME COURT ,it withdrew the petition from SC . Then filed a review petition before HC and thus misusing legal loophole comes with a holy commitment that it is implementable only to 43 employees who are the applicants and other thousands of workmen, who were resignees and not allowed to exercise the pension option.
ReplyDeleteNow, the matter shall be taken up by other employees who are victims of this mischief. Further, any all india understanding , if any comes up, it shall be retrospective both for emploees who were deprived and the relief shall be from the date of their relieving from the services.
