Company is at liberty to file appeal against trial court order

2) if caveat is filed no stay would be granted without hearing your mother

3) request court not to grant stay as if stay is granted your mother would retire and suit rendered infructous

1) no the order of the court should be appealed and stay should be seeked.

2)No the cavet will just inform you when the case is filed. It shall not restrain them. If you filed a cavet on recipt of any application from the company the court shall issue you notice.

3) First of a the court won't grant stay in there favour as of the prejudice to your mother will be caused on stay. Even if stay is not granted company is not suffering any loss so the balance is in your mother's favour.

Also even if it is granted challange same before high court. For further advice kindly elaborate query what exactly you want .

Once a order is passed by court the same court cannot stay it's own order either it will review or its order or the company should go to appellant court.

Filing in same court is not maintainable also if you have filed caveat without hearing your side and without giving you notice court cannot give stay order..

Filing caveat will help you get application of opposite party for stay dismissed. In case if they get stay order file application for status quo that is to allow your mother to continue in same position till disposal of case.

Yes, the co. can go for appeal and seek a stay upon the judgement given in your favour.

1. Appeal is always preferred before a higher court/authority.

2. Caveat will not disqualify them from filing an appeal; but the only advantage that it gives to you is that you will be given an advance notice of their appeal, so that a stay is not granted to them ex-parte.

3. You will have the right to challenge the stay order further ahead.

1. Law has give equal opportunity to all for approaching and availing the legal aid. And its in fundamental rights

2. Caveat mean when ever the opponent tries to file a suit it will have to intimate you before filling the suit a week in advance. But caveat is valid for 90 days only you have to renew it by filing again in the same court.

3. First you have to defend the Decree and judgement given to you by the honorable court. And if in case the stay is awarded you can approach the higher court for cancellation of stay

Dear Sir,

My answers are as follows”

1) Is company doing right by filing application of stay order in the same court where judgment is given?

Ans: Yes, till appeal time is over the Trial Court can stay its own order. Under order 41 R5(2) CPC powers are given to the Court to stay its own judgment on some conditions.

Order XLI Rule 5. Stay by Appellate Court.- (1) An appeal shall not operate as a stay of proceedings under a decree or order appealed from except so far as the Appellate Court may order, nor shall execution of a decree be stayed by reason only of an appeal having been preferred from the decree; but the Appellate Court may for sufficient cause order stay of execution of such decree.

Explanation An order by the Appellate Court for the stay of execution of the decree shall be effective from the date of the communication of such order to the court to first instance, but an affidavit sworn by the appellant, based on his personal knowledge, stating that an order for the stay of execution of the decree has been made by the Appellate Court shall, pending the receipt from the Appellate Court of the order for the stay of execution or any order to the country, be acted upon by the court of first instance.

(2) Stay by court which passed the decree :—Where an application is made for stay of execution of an appealable decree before the expiration of the time allowed for appealing there from, the court which passed the decree may on sufficient cause being shown order the execution to be stayed.

(3) No order for stay of execution shall be made under sub-rule (1) or sub-rule (2) unless the court making it is satisfied—

(a) that substantial loss may result to the party applying for stay of execution unless the order is made;

(b) that the application has been made without unreasonable delay; and

(C) that security has been given by the applicant for the due performance of such decree of or as may ultimately be binding upon him.

(4) Subject to the provisions of sub-rule (3), the court may make an ex parte order for stay of execution pending the hearing of the application.

(5) Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing sub-rules, where the appellant fails to make the deposit or furnish the security specified in sub-rule (3) of rule 1, the court shall not make an order staying the execution of the decree.

2)We have already get issued a Caveate against company from District court before company's filing...is it okay and disqualify the company's application for stay order?

\

Ans: Caveat only entitles you to get an opportunity of hearing before stay is granted by District Court. After hearing it may or may not pass stay the operation of lower court judgment. Since in your case there is 10 years difference so the District Court may allow your mother to continue service on some conditions.

=========================================

3) And,by chance if company,get issued a Stay order in this Judgment,what can I do in this short span of time of 10 days before 31st march,2018,which is the date of retirement according to company's record.

Ans: Nothing to worry, the speaking order of District Court may be taken to High Court and HC Court has ample powers to reverse the orders of District and reinstate your mother in the same post even if she is made to retire. Good Luck. Good Case.

Dear Client,

Appeal is normal course and no harm. Granting stay depends on merit of defense but i don`t think, court will stay the lower court order, Show order.

1) Is company doing right by filing application of stay order in the same court where judgment is given? -- Once order is pronounced, Court becomes officio functus, No stay possible from same court.

2)We have already get issued a Caveate against company from District court before company's filing...is it okay and disqualify the company's application for stay order? --- No, only stay will not grant without serving you notice and hear your side.

3) And,by chance if company,get issued a Stay order in this Judgment,what can I do in this short span of time of 10 days before 31st march,2018,which is the date of retirement according to company's record. -- Appeal In High Court.

please give your valuable advice as an earliest possible.

1. An appeal has to be filed in this case.

2. Yes

3. You may challenge such interim order before the HC

1. The company cannot obtain stay of the execution of the judgment by a court by filing a petition in the same court, it has to prefer an appeal before the appellate court only against the aggrieved judgment.

2. Caveat petition is filed to request the court to inform you or notify you before passing any exparte decision by any application that may be filed by a person who intends to file a suit agaisnt you, hence this is not a stay against the appeal being preferred.

3. You cannot do anything other than fight through court and get reinstated if being forcibly retired

Putting an application for stay in the district court is not right.

yes the lower court definitely has power to decided the DOB, they raised this objection at the time of hearing also?

There is no requirement of bail as such

if stay order is granted then an application for setting aside the stay order is to be moved.

company can seek stay of order before lower court .

2) court would grant period of 8 weeks or so to enable company to file appeal

3) civil court has power to decide DOB case

4) if stay is granted seek expedited hearing of appeal

Appeal is maintainable in Higher Court, IN same court it may be review application.

Second point can be advised on perusal of order, what court has deducted in reference to Jurisdiction.

Correction in DOB is rest with Civil Court, Industrial Tribunal deals with issue which is connected with the employment or non-employment or the terms of employment or with the conditions of labor, of any person;

And, if company is Public than Administrative Tribunal has jurisdiction and not Labour Court.

Bail ?

Appeal

1. The petition filed by the company to stay the operation of the order in the same court which passed the judgment may not be maintainable or tenable in law.

The grievances agaisnt the judgment can be redressed only by the appellate court if an appeal is preferred before it.

2. If the suit was filed for declaring the correct date of birth then the civil court ha jurisdiction. If it is not an industrial dispute then the petition filed by the company invoking the said provisions of law shall be liable to be dismissed.

3. There is no reason for obtaining bail in civil case.

4. You wait for the outcome of the petition filed by the opposite party, after that you can look for solutions based on the outcome.

Please note they cannot seek stay in lower court which passed order it can be stayed by district court.

Secondly since DOB change is a suit of declaratory in nature the trial court has power to adjudicate the same and aby objection by PSU must have been raised at earlier instance not at later stage this must be your contention to get stay vacated.

If stay is granted immediately approach high court challenging same and get order if stay vacated.

Generally the appeal is in higher court. Only when the order is exparte then it is stayed and set aside by same court.

In this case they need to clear the pf in any condition. Any rule if it says will be arbitrary as they have deleted her name form rolls. You can complaint to pf dept and initiate the same. You can also file writ petition in HC as it is clear voilation of article 21 of Indian Constitution

1. Did the company give a relieving letter after retirement given to her?

If that is the case she can very well claim the PF amount also, let them give in writing the reasons for which they are not able to disburse the PF amount, after which it can be legally dealt with.

 

 

2. Did you get the reply from the company in writing, if som, they would have mentioned the proper rules by which they were withholding the PF amount, you my see to it that if the same is correct and proper or else you may drag them to the PF commissioner for relief and remedy.

PF is the contribution of the employee and can not be withheld.

it is the property of your mother under article 300A of the constitution and not anny bounty to be given by them.

Approach the appropriate court to get the same released.
