About Employment & Labour Law
Why I Fight for Workers
For over 40 years, I’ve been in the courts, taking on cases where employees are pushed around or cheated. Shoshan (exploitation) is everywhere - and I see it most in jobs. If you feel your rights at work aren’t respected, I’m here for you.
Salary Issues & Wage Rights
- Minimum wage violation is rampant, especially in small shops and factories. Many get paid less than the law allows - yeh bilkul gairkanooni hai (this is totally illegal).
- Unpaid salaries break families. I’ve helped teachers, helpers, and contract staff who waited months for their pay.
- Samaan vetan (equal pay for equal work) is not a fancy rule - it’s basic fairness. If you’re doing the same work as others but getting less, I take up those fights.
Job Security & Fair Work
- Many live in constant fear of unfair dismissal claims. Contract workers stay temporary for years, losing out on benefits. I push for contract worker regularization so people get the security they deserve.
- Private school staff face a lot of injustice. I even helped draft a Bill for their job security, because teachers shouldn’t feel disposable.
Standing with Unions
I stand with workers’ union legal support, helping groups like Anganwadi Workers fight for better pay and working conditions.
My Belief
Ladoge tabhi toh milega (You get your rights only if you fight for them). I’m always with you in this struggle for dignity at work.

My Story
Dekhiye, 40 saal ho gaye Delhi High Court mein vakaalat karte hue. Log mujhe social jurist kehte hain, par main toh seedha-saadha aadmi hoon, bastiyon mein jaake bachchon se milne wala. Zaib jaise bachche, ration ki dukaan pe kaam karte hue, unki aankhon mein sapne dekh kar hi toh meri ladai hai. All India Parents Association ka president hoon, ab rajneeti bhi join ki hai - system ke andar rehkar hi kuch badal sakte hain. Ghar pe 'Baba Pig' banna padta hai apni poti ke liye. Par asli maksad? Kamzor ki awaaz banna.
My Work
Public Interest Litigation aur Legal Aid - Delhi High Court aur Supreme Court mein PILs karta hoon, khaaskar free EWS hospital treatment Delhi, right to education, aur mazdooron ke liye.
School Admission aur TC Issues - Agar school admission mana kare ya TC na de, main court se aapki madad karta hoon. School TC rok nahi sakte, ye illegal hai.
Mazdooron ke Haq ki Ladai - Contract, ad-hoc, ya casual workers ke liye equal pay for contract workers ki legal fight karta hoon. Anganwadi workers ke saath bhi khada hoon.
