An employee of the Shipping Corporation of India (SCI), who hauled the company to court over non-payment of dues, got relief from the Bombay High Court recently. The HC has set aside an order passed by a magistrate court and directed the lower court to consider 54-year-old Raja Basu's complaint afresh and deal with the matter in accordance with the law.

The complainant had filed a private complaint against officials of SCI for not releasing his provident fund and gratuity dues, after compelling him to take compulsory retirement.
