Where disputes arise, we provide representation in negotiations, administrative proceedings, litigation, and other appropriate legal remedies.

Questions

Frequently asked

Only on statutory grounds and through the procedure prescribed under the applicable HR&CE legislation — a hereditary right is not lost by administrative order alone.

The HR&CE department has primary administrative jurisdiction, with appeals lying to the Commissioner and, ultimately, to the Madras High Court.
