PROOF OF SERVICE

PROOF OF SERVICE

A youth served for six years as temporary computer operator in a university. After 6 years his services were suddenly discontinued by the university. A case was filed in labour court for restoration of job. Labour court ordered university to take back the youth as labourer, based on records produced by the university in court. Youth challenged this decision in High Court. He was not having documents which can prove that he worked as Computer Operator in the university for 6 years, hence his advocate was not very hopeful of success.

He came in my contact through a friend. We filed RTI application with the university and it had to supply 203 pages indicating that the youth worked as computer operator. The young man could not recollect other records which can help him. We sought inspection of record of the department where he worked in 6 years. He could locate and get additional nearly 200 pages which can substantiate his claim.

All these papers obtained through RTI were given to the advocate and he has found them to be very useful and effective to win the case in High Court. We were required to file first appeal for getting these papers and inspection of record.
