Employee is not granted a Half day, he shoots a mail from his personal email ID to all possible govt IDs like @maharashtra.gov.in, @nic.in, , gov.in, @nic.in, with the subject line,"These will be my last words before I end this pathetic life". Reason- Leave not granted on several occasion, Managers saying he is their slave and chained to the work place untill he is dead, He can't move an inch without their orders.

1. Is this a case of Harassment in a work place ?

2. can be titled as an criminal offense for a murder of an Employee and go against the Corporate company?

3. What action can govt take in this matter as the employee has given his dying statement? FYI, Employee body is not found till date and NO FIR registered for a missing body yet .

4. Can employee's parents SUE the company and the MNC client together?

5. How can the INDIAN constitution look at this matter, whether the matter is between the INDIAN company and the MNC client or does this case also falls under INDIAN LABOR laws? Any action INDIAN govt can take against the Company ?

Pls suggest at the earliest

Regards

hi Manpreet,
I have a doubt if this a scenario madeup or is an actual incident. Sorry, no offence intended.
If this is true and actual incident, then I am really surprised you decide to discuss this life threatening issues here in a blog. Suggest you approach a Lawyer/NGO and seek immediate guidance rather waiting for people to react to your queries.
And if this a madeup situation, there are so many cases in courts, where in employee is under treble stress unfortunately takes extreme steps and there is a judiciary and system process in place. And to answer your question according to me
1. Yes
2. Court to decide
3. Responsibility lies with Police Department to be answerable on behalf of country/state.
4. Yes, its within their rights
5. Yes, ofcourse, but for it to be effective, I feel it needs to be initiated and publicized with help of NGO and Media.

Thanks for the updated reply. Well that is the reason i avoided to disclose the actual mail but yes further actions are awaited from Employee's parents. Police was there in the corporate office for 3 days, did inquiry. Nevertheless, its been over a week he is untraceable. Hope he is safe.
Again thanks for directing the approach, will have it justified.

DearCollegue,

What you have written is one side of coin. Yeh. there are instances in MNC that people are sometime ill treated. However, in respect of HR behaviour there is no tailor made solution. Each act of an employee or a Superior Officer, in a given situation, always have a past history. We as 3rd person is never aware of this..The first provision with regards to LEAVE being- It is not a matter of RIGHT. Leave can be only sanctioned ,if there is no exigency.Further, what was exchanged by way of words between the employee and his superior officer is not known. If such mails are entertained(as a dying statement), it will be very difficult for Employers to run the business The Police deptt. are the best to investige,. if the concerned employee is not traceable. If FIR is not being lodged, the concerned can approach Court of law to issue directions to Police deptt. to lodge FIR. However, if on investigation if it is found that Employee played mischief, to cause duress on Employer, he will also be tried by the law enforcers..This will be very bad, in future, from career point of view.

Dear Sir,
Death (suicide) due to harassment of superior officers regarding leave will lead to murder case.
The employee heirs can claim compensation.
The official who harassed will be jailed after case registration.
It is a serious case against the official and company under vicarious liability.

though you have not disclosed the true facts or contents of the mail and complete matter, in such situation would not be able to give you clear view on the issue, but still want to clarify certain question, which you have raised in your query-

1 First question of your is "yes" it may amount to harrassment at work place, the kind of language which has been mentioned in mail as written by employee prima facie suggest that, he was being harrass, not alowed leave at several occasion. though can understand that leave is not a matter of right, but normally it should be allowed to employee when he applied for the same, untill & unless some urgency or difficulty is there. As such leave provisions are mentioned & priscribed by the legislations, keeping in veiw the fatige or mental stress involved in day to work for easing out and rejunate from such situations and to support his family in time of need. this is the basic ideology behind leave provisions implemented by Govt. secondly the kind of langauge and other contents of mail suggest or inference may be drawn to this effect. Its a matter of investigations by the policy authorities.

2 in case the employee sucide or died immediately after leaving your office, in that case it may be a case of abetment to sucide punishable under section 306 of IPC, thats non bailabe, non compoundable. the statement written by employee in such a suituation may be treated as dying declaration under Evidence Act and hold good peace of evidence in corroboration with other facts.

3 An FIR may be registered after varifying the contents and prima facie facts of the case, by police authorities against the manager, company and the person who have direct control over the affairs of the company at the time of incidence.

the incidence will treated as criminal offence which i have already mentioned above. but its a matter of investigation by the police authorities.
