I’m a new employee at Rao Ideal Services Pvt Ltd, and I’ve been working for about three weeks. On February 2nd, 2016, I received a cheque but didn’t deposit it right away, keeping it safe in my locker. Unfortunately, during a cleaning session, a colleague accidentally threw the cheque in the dustbin. The company acknowledged I’m a victim in this situation. Is there any legal recourse I can explore, or was there any negligence on my part?

Under Indian law, you are likely entitled to compensation for the lost cheque as the company acknowledged your innocence. However, keeping a cheque for a significant time without depositing it could be considered negligence on your part, potentially affecting the amount of compensation you receive. You should consult with a lawyer to determine the best course of action and potential compensation.
