Crime Against Labour Cell

I request the National Legal services Authority to implement the theme of Mr. Justice Y. K Sabharwal the then Chief Justice of India and Patron-in-chief of NALSA given by his lordship in July 2005. In this regard I have requested the member secretary NALSA personally to ignite the cell atleast in the state of Jharkhand.

The Sad plight of labourers particularly Industrial labourers / unorganized labourers and labourers working with government departments on daily wages. I have one case in my hand in which daily wage labourers Badri Yadav working in the office of District Probation officer with the ministry of Home affairs Jharkhand is under paid but no one is ready to see his misery. The matter is within the knowledge of the Treasury Officer/ Inspector general of Prisons but till date he is not getting proper remunaration. It requires diagnosis and pathalogy by the crime against labour cell working under the Chairmanship of sessions Judges of the District. In the manner the department of labor and employment, factory inspector, police with the industries & company is dealing the laborers will become matter of public debate soon.

Views, Comments, suggestions, solicited.

Backlog of electricity act cases in Jharkhand courts.

The Hon'ble Chief justice of India, Union law minister Dr. M.Virappa Moili and others are very much serious regarding the pendency/backlog of cases in judicial courts and on the other hand a large number of criminal cases of Electricity Act, 2003 is pending in magestarial courts in Jharkhand, although compensation money has been deposited by the so called accused persons but the criminal cases are still pending in the judicial courts. The legislature very specifically provides provision under section 152 of the Electricity Act if someone deposited the compensation money, the prosecution/proceeding immediately closed but in Jharkhand no one is ready to see this plight/misery of innocent persons. The matter has been raised in some judicial courts within the District of Giridih but no result with a positive approach. In this connection correspondence has been made with the energy department of the state, local superitending Engineer of Electricity has been requested to furnish a figure of criminal cases instituted by electricity board/number of persons facing trials after depositing compensation money and number of cases withdrawn by the Electricity Board but no positive result is shown yet. I request views, suggestions, ideas and comments by the READERS how electricity act, 2003 will be implemented and Judicial courts relieved from this unnecessary burden.
