Nod for prosecution against Jaigarh Fort brass

JAIPUR: Minister of state (MOS) labour Tikaram Jully on Wednesday, during a meeting with the labour unions, decided to sanction prosecution – conducting legal proceedings – against the employer/management of Jaigarh Fort for sacking a security guard of the fort when the lockdown was in force last year.
“Based on the complaint by an employee (of Jaigarh Fort), the minister has sanctioned prosecution against the employer of Jaigarh.
Now, a case will be filed against the employer in the court,” said labour secretary Neeraj K Pawan.
Moolchand, who was terminated from his job last year, had also written to the secretary of Jaigarh Public Charitable Trust, Diya Kumari (Rajsamand MP), requesting her to withdraw his termination order.
“But, no action was taken in his regard,” he said.
“I was the president of Jaigarh employees’ association.
They (the management) levelled false charges against me that I used to smoke cigarettes and bidis within the fort premises and sacked me.
On May 19, 2020, I was terminated from work.
They sacked me for demanding my salary for the month of March.
They sacked me despite centre’s and state government’s order not to terminate anyone during the lockdown.
I had lodged a complaint with the state’s labour department and human rights commission.
They are also not allowing me to enter my room allotted to me by the management,” said Moolchand, who used to earn Rs 35,000 per month.
“A case is already pending against the management for holding my promotion in abeyance.” Mukesh Mathur of Hind Mazdoor Sabha (HMS) said an employee, named Moolchand, was sacked without giving any notice by Jaigarh Fort management on false charges last year during the lockdown.
“A complaint was lodged by the employee with the state’s labour department.
The minister took a decision on Wednesday to sanction prosecution against the management of Jaigarh Fort,” he said.
