As the Principal of a respected institute, I dedicated myself to excellence for ten years, consistently achieving outstanding results. However, after a new individual was hired, my work came under unwarranted scrutiny. Despite facing staffing shortages, I was expected to deliver exceptional performance. Sadly, this situation led to verbal and mental harassment, forcing me to resign. To my dismay, they later withheld my four-month salary, which I eventually cleared. What legal options do I have to address this unfair treatment?

You may have grounds to file a claim for wrongful termination and unpaid wages. You can approach the Labour Court for reinstatement and back wages. You can also file a complaint with the National Commission for Scheduled Castes or National Commission for Scheduled Tribes, depending on your caste, if the harassment was based on caste discrimination.
