Very many have grievances regarding the fraud
played by recruiting agents or travel agents.
Here, the individual grievances face a stumbling
block in the form of the limitations by the
Emigration Act 1983 and the Rules framed
thereunder. Many provisions of the Act and Rules
have become obsolete due to passage of time and
other changes in international situations.
The misconduct of some of the recruiting agents
and travel agents need concerted action even
under the existing legal provision, but the
initiative in that regard rests not with the
State Government, but with the Central
Government and its functionaries.
The remedy
could be to persuade or pressurize the Central
Government functionaries including Embassies
overseas. Remedy by way of Writ proceedings
under Article 226 of the Constitution can be
thought of, in the eventuality of there being
contumacious default in the performance of the
legal and statutory duties.
