No it is not at all obligatory for you to submit your original documents. These are rules framed by the Company itself.

Q: What to do if my manager is torturing me at work place?

I am working in a well-known MNC at a client site in Gurgaon. Since my first day, my supervisor has behaved badly towards me. Initially, I thought things would improve over time, but his behavior has only worsened. He daily torments and threatens to expel me from the project. This constant rude behavior has severely affected my confidence. Moreover, he has started scrutinizing my work and forwarding emails to my managers, attempting to defame me in front of them. I am completely fed up with his behavior. Even my colleagues have noticed his excessively rude behavior towards me.

Advocate Anupam Kirti answered
Rude behaviour in mnc is a part and parcel of the profession. But if you are being subjected to unnecessary torture and humiliation then you have the recourse to law. Besides I would also like to know whether you are a male employee or a female employee. If you are a female employee and you are subjected to harassment at workplace then you can file a representation for representing your case in front of internal complaints committee constituted for redressal of your grievance.

Q: Is working woman not entitled to maintenance post separation

Religion: Hindu. I got married in Delhi on May 2013, we stayed in my matrimonial house for 15 days as we both were working, later I took transfer and shifted with my husband in Bangalore on June 2013. We used to go my matrimonial house once in year during Diwali festival. Demands of my husband & in-laws were increasing day by day & they were not treating me well and they also restricted me from visiting my parents. They were also taking share from my salary, when we were not able to meet their demands, my husband deserted me and shifted to abroad. Case is going on & is on interim arguments stage, but I feel that my lawyer is forcing me to settle the matter by accepting some amount. We have the proof of dowry which we gave hard core cash worth 16 Lakh. But my lawyer is neither asking for stridhan nor for the matrimonial house. He is saying that since I am a working lady, I will not get anything, If I am working can my husband leave me without saying a word. Am I not entitled to anything.

Advocate Anupam Kirti answered
You do have the right to maintenance and also right to residence. You are being wrongly advised that since you are working you will not get anything. Your case is going on and at this stage it is necessary to press these things with relevant case laws during arguments.
