The Bombay High Court has instructed a Mumbai-based starred hotel to pay a person Rs 25 lakh for terminating his services without a disciplinary inquiry, 13 years ago. Despite facing numerous delays and legal setbacks, Bhikan Deokar, 52, and his pro bono advocate, Shazi Kazi, continued to fight the legal battle.
As the sole provider for his family of five, Deokar, a substitute driver earning approximately Rs 10,000, who faced financial challenges during his long legal battle expressed gratitude to Advocate Shafi Kazi for his support throughout the legal trial. “I am thankful to advocate Kazi. He understood my financial condition and inability to pay his professional fees and still fought my case. My family and I will remain indebted to him,” said Deokar.
