Australian court asks former Indian envoy to pay compensation to former employee
According to Australian media sources, a court in Australia has ordered India's ex-high commissioner to Canberra, Navdeep Singh Suri, to pay a former domestic employee thousands of dollars in compensation after she accused him of unfair working conditions.
According to those acquainted with the case in New Delhi, it was an ex-parte process in the Australian court, and the employer's filing of the complaint was a "afterthought."
According to ABC News, federal court Justice Elizabeth Raper ordered Suri to pay Seema Sherghill more than 136,000 dollars with interest within 60 days.
Sherghill arrived in Australia in April 2015 and worked for Suri at his Canberra home for almost a year, according to the report.

Severe or worse air quality in Delhi for 4th day on trot
Pollution levels in Delhi-NCR were seven to eight times higher than the government's permissible limit on Monday morning, as a poisonous cloud hung over the region for the seventh consecutive day.
Stringent restrictions, including a ban on the entrance of polluting vehicles, went into place in Delhi on Sunday, as the city's air quality fell into the'severe plus' category for the second time in three days due to adverse wind conditions and an increase in agricultural fires throughout north India.
The 24-hour average Air Quality Index fell from 415 on Saturday to 454 on Sunday, leading the Centre to undertake all emergency measures needed by Stage IV of its air pollution management strategy, known as the Graded Response Action strategy.
