Hello Everyone,
While joining others to condole the incident, it's also nice to see offers of Direct help from the members.
I guess that's what makes CiteHR DIFFERENT.

All the Best.

First of all, You need to be cleared of few issues,

1) As you have mentioned this is a road accident between the two vehicles, as to be noted they are "maintained by the governmental authority"

2) Those "four People" were working in your company, hence "for you" they are employees

3) They were not under the employment when the accident took place, if you may know what I intend here, "during the employment".... If they were considered to be under employment, there is nothing to discuss as that will be followed accordingly with the employment laws....

4) it is a public incident took place which has affected the public unfortunately including your employees,

5) when it is the public incident, it is obviously goes to the responsibility of the governmental authorities...

6) And,. I shall say that the law has no partiality and no emotions, hence even your employees will be treated equally with other public or individual victims...

Hence, what ever the compensation the authority fixes or may be the judiciary if considered, the four employees also would be getting the same compensation or damages and no partiality may be observed...

7) coming to the compensation through the employer/the company, the employment laws are clear on those aspects......

If you feel the employer owes/or may feel for, more liability, and willing to pay the victims more than that of fixed under related laws, rule of the law is that, they are absolutely encouraged under law, as per the law, no less can be paid but any more than fixed under laws is not curtailed if paid voluntarily.... (for eg,: if it is fixed Rs. 50/- you can not pay less than that but if you pay Rs. 60 laws has no objections, you can pay any amount more than 50/-)

For the purpose of justice the case will already be recorded and the investigation would already have been being taking place..... And you may put up an application on behalf of all the victims for more compensation or damages, and this is the only good step any could take as per law...... for which you may proceed even to the courts of law taking up the matter.......



Hence, I believe, the above explanation would help you to the reasonable extent..... if you have any further issues you are always encouraged and we may discuss them.......

BSSV has raised the right questions for you to analyse your situation right now, more importantly now you should be worrying about the criminal cases that may be filed by the Labour department against your MD, directors etc, under various provisions that provide such action. Do not waste your time thinking how can that be possible. What you need to do is watch out for police trying to act on these complaints against your higher officials. You need to get in touch with a labour lawyer who can handle such situation. This may not look appropriate to say in normal times but at the give emergency I need to inform you that we / our team have handled such situations all these years, given your situation it needs pre-emptive action from your side. We are available for your help, please do communicate in case of further action.
