Reading: I joined a company in Chandigarh and worked there for just two months. I signed a one-year contract when I joined, but after leaving, they sent me an email. It claimed they knew I’d started working for another firm. I explained in a reply that I wanted a job closer to home. They also mentioned finding out that I was running my own company called “Professional India.” But this wasn’t a real company, just a personal website I built last year with my photo as the CEO. Considering all this, should I be worried about legal action from my former employer?

Based on your description, it’s unlikely your former employer has a strong legal case against you. You left after two months, which is well within the probationary period, and you explained your reason for leaving. The mention of your personal website is likely just an attempt to intimidate you, as it doesn’t constitute a business in the legal sense.
