A petition has been moved in the High Court of Delhi by 5 former support staff of St. Stephens Hospital Healthcare Facility, challenging the Hospital’s decision to sack them from its Gurugram branch.
The appeal contended that the decision was taken without giving any notice or opportunity to hear them.
On March 30, the decision was taken by the management of the Hospital, which is located at Tis Hazari here, as it was closing its Gurugram branch, the petition said, adding no one else was terminated.
The applicants have contended that the decision was in violation of the advisories issued by the Labour Ministry on March 20 & March 23 which had “specifically directed that persons engaged contractually or casually with either public or private establishments not be terminated during the COVID-19 outbreak”.
The plea stated that due to their termination, the petitioners have been left without any means of livelihood for themselves & their families during the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic.
