Central Government Worker Denied Duty

A central government worker is denied the opportunity to perform his duties even when he is available. When the muster roll is sent, he is asked to provide an explanation. He explains that he was available for duty and, during those days, he consistently showed his presence on the premises by signing the sign-on register daily to indicate his availability.

Request for Certified Copy Under RTI Act

Can he request a certified copy of that register as proof under the RTI Act? Currently, he is marked absent for those days.

Relevant Section of the ID Act

In which section of the ID Act can we address this issue? We have previously raised this problem in joint memorandums to divisional-level officials.

Approaching ALC and Unfair Labor Practice

Now, he wants to approach the Assistant Labor Commissioner (ALC) directly, as even his written correspondence was not accepted, with the controlling officer claiming that higher authorities have ordered this action. Does the employer's action constitute unfair labor practice? Can the ALC impose a fine on the employer?

Yes, he can approach, but the responsibility lies with the individual to prove his presence. There is a possibility that the records may get destroyed; hence, it's better to collect all proofs and approach.
