Case Study:- Anant Dalvi and Akhtar Khan Vs Tata Electric Company.

 

On October 3, 2003, Anant Dalvi and Akhtar Khan, who worked as contract workers in Tata Electric Company until they were laid off in 1996, doused themselves with kerosene and set themselves ablaze even as their co-workers protested before the company’s offices. While Dalvi died on the spot, Khan died a few days later. The Tata Electric Company said they were no longer on their payroll and were not permanent workers. Employees union had taken up their case and filled petition in the Labour Court before their contracts were terminated. The court directed the company not to terminate their services without following the due process of law. Despite this their services were terminated on June 30, 1996. The company union promised the workers that they would renegotiate. Yet on the night before they killed themselves when Khan and Dalvi spoke to the union leader Shinde, they were told that nothing more could be done for them. It is this that led them to take their lives. Dalvi has been in service as a peon for17 years and Khan had been employed for 19 years. But their services were not regularized. Such workers draw salary much less than the permanent employees. This is an example of the problem that comes under the purview of Human Resource Management.
