Terminated Centaur Hotel employees stage protest in Srinagar 

Srinagar, July 17, 2022 (PPI-OT):In Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir, the terminated employees of the Centaur Hotel staged a protest, urging the authorities to adhere to the directives issued by the Indian Supreme Court as well as the High Court of the territory failing which they will be forced to come out on roads.

Holding placards and raising slogans in their favour, scores of such employees appeared in the Press Enclave, Srinagar, urging the authorities to go by the directives issued by the courts.

“The Supreme Court, as well as the High Court, has directed that no adverse action should be taken against the petitioners. What is the adverse action and what are we facing right now,” said Farooq Ahmad Butt, one of the members of the Centaur Hotel Employees Union.

He said that as per the directives, they cannot stop the dues of the employees, “but they have stopped everything. They have said that they will not release any kind of dues in our favor,” he said, adding that the SC has directed the administration as well as the Civil Aviation Ministry to let the employees work.

The terminated employees said that for the last over a month they are on the roads alleging that they have been forcibly deprived of their jobs.

“We fail to understand where to go and who to seek help from; we have brought the matter to the notice of the Civil Aviation Ministry as well as the Administration here, but so far, we have not received any response from them,” Ghulam Haider Dar, General Secretary, Centaur Hotel Employees Union, said.

The employees said they have approached the High Court which has issued the necessary directives, asking the authorities not to take any adverse action against them.

A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation.

WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually handle securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm has achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017.

In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs’ Bar. Many of the firm’s attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers.

DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, defendants violated provisions of the Exchange Act by making false and misleading statements concerning the Company’s growth prospects, technological advancements, international partnerships, and financial benefits for Humbl common stock and digital asset investors, as well as using selectively timed announcements to keep Humbl stock price high so that Company insiders could sell off their holdings into artificially created volume. The complaint also alleges that defendants violated provisions of the Securities Act by selling its unregistered securities (BLOCK ETX digital assets) to investors.

No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice.
