Pooja Saroj vs Labor Commissioner & Ors on 17 September, 2021
5. The background of the case is that the Petitioner/Workman
(hereinafter "Workman") was working with Respondent No.5-ICICI Bank,
Videocon Tower, Jhandewalan Extension Branch, New Delhi as a Deputy
Manager. She was transferred to Sirsa branch, Haryana by the Respondent
Bank and the same came to be challenged before this Court by way of writ
petition being W.P.(C) 10462/2021 titled Pooja Saroj v. Labour
Commissioner & Ors. Since the Workman did not join in Sirsa, the services
of the Petitioner were terminated by the Bank. Allegedly, the reason why
the Petitioner states that she could not join at Sirsa branch, was because her
residence was in Delhi and she was also having some medical conditions
due to COVID-19. However, the Bank decided to terminate her.
