We have been serving workmen in many districts of Kerala by procuring reliefs in terms of reinstatement in service, Compensation for injury suffered in the course of employment, adequate wages and benefits in employment, etc.

Apart from contesting cases in Courts, we have been entrusted with the duty to conduct DOMESTIC ENQUIRY into allegations of misconduct of workmen. None of the Enquiry Reports submitted to Management after due enquiry after complying with all provisions of law have not challenged so far in a court of law.
