Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Hi,

My late father was employed in chennai port trust and after his death I was registred for his job but now the chennai port trust has decided to provide compensation amount in lieu of the job . There were around 663 dependendants who received money by september 2012 out of 868 dependendants.

I was told that my case was in pending due to document verification and was not provided any further clarification till last month.

This month when asked , they (Secretary) stated that as I am 30 yrs old female , I am supposed to be married and they had heard from someone during verifcation that I am married.

I am still unmarried and I have proof for the same (Voter Id , Ration card and I can get letter from my current and previous house owner )

The official from chennai port trust are not providing this in written statement and also do not tell me who confirmed them that "Iam married" and even though I told them I would give them an affidavit but they always send me away stating that come next month.

Please guide me to how to get a written confirmation from the chennai port trust and the further steps that I should ttake in this...

Please this is a matter of urgency and regarding my diginity

I am very upset because they said " being 30 years you should have been married"

In India , marriage is not cheap and is it a crime to not get married if you are 30 years old ..

Dear Madam,

Since you have already been registered for the job in view of your father's demise, there will be some correspondence to that effect. You need to emphasize that the compensation being given by the organization is in lieu of not providing you with the compensatory appointment and it has nothing to do whether you are married or not. Your case should be treated at par with all those others who have already received the compensation amount and your case should also be settled at the earliest.

Regards,
