Sabirali had been working in a grocery store under a native of Bekalam, Kasaragod for about a year. Sabirali decided to quit her job because she was not getting the salary or other benefits according to the work she was doing, and because she had not received her six months' salary, and because of her employer's bad behavior. However, the company owner was not ready to pay her the benefits she was legally entitled to or the remaining six months' salary when she stopped working. Then, Sabirali, who was in financial and mental distress, approached Salam Pappinissery to get the benefits withheld by her employer.

After understanding all the details of the case, Salam Pappinissery took up the case and provided free legal assistance to Sabirali. Then, as per his legal advice, Sabirali filed a complaint with the Labor Court, submitting the employment contract documents, employment wage documents and showing her rights such as flight tickets, service allowances so far, leave allowances, etc. The company owner then filed a reply memorandum against this complaint.

The company told the court that Sabirali had been given all the rights from the company. However, Sabirali's lawyer argued strongly, showing that the worker had not received the allowance, gratuity, return flight ticket, and six months' salary.

The court, after examining the arguments and documents of both parties, found that there was no concrete evidence for the arguments given by the employer and that justice was in Sabirali's favor and ordered the company to pay Sabirali 8300 dirhams (two lakh Indian rupees) including all the benefits.
