You may have grounds to argue against the company’s demand. Under Indian law, you may be entitled to claim exemption from contractual obligations due to unforeseen circumstances like health issues, especially if you can provide medical proof. It’s best to consult a lawyer to understand your specific rights and options.

We provided services to a company in Bangalore and issued an invoice, but they’re refusing to pay. We’ve filed the invoice in Bangalore court, but the work order mentions Chennai court. Is it possible to proceed with the case and challenge this discrepancy?

My small company in Delhi, with about 15 employees, has been consistently delaying our salaries. We’re usually paid by the 12th of each month, but lately, it’s been pushed back repeatedly. I have my bank statements as proof, and other colleagues are frustrated too. The inconvenience this causes is truly significant. This is the final straw! Can you advise me on how to take legal action against the company for this? Thanks for your help!

I quit my previous job without receiving my final settlement. They wouldn’t let me leave without serving the full notice period. My offer letter says I need to give three months’ notice to leave, and they can do the same. It also says they can terminate me by paying me three months’ salary in lieu of notice. However, it doesn’t say I have to pay them three months’ salary if I leave early. Now, they’re demanding three months’ salary and threatening legal action. They recently gave us an employee handbook mentioning the three-month salary clause, but I never signed it.

My company, a private limited firm, hasn’t paid salaries for 3-4 months. All of us employees are thinking of quitting together until our dues are cleared. Is this a good idea?

My ex-boss is threatening legal action for financial losses after I left my job. I finished one project right after quitting, and handed over the other two with manager approval. Now, he’s saying I caused them money because I didn’t stay my full notice period. He’s angry because he thinks I joined a client of his, but that’s not true. What can I do? He’s trying to sue me, but he doesn’t have grounds for a non-compete violation.

Previous Article My fiancé is a Christian from Kerala, and I’m a Hindu from Chennai. We’re both in our mid-twenties and want to get married, but my parents are strongly opposed. They’ve already raised concerns about our interfaith relationship. Could they still file a legal case against him to take me back, even after the legal waiting period for objections has passed? My fiancé also has a past criminal case that’s being resolved, but it’s not yet completely cleared. Could this past case be used against us? I’m worried about any potential legal obstacles my dad’s lawyer might use. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Next Article My wife and I haven’t been happy for five years, and we haven’t shared a physical relationship in that time. I want a divorce, but she’s not ready to let go. We have a five-year-old daughter, and she uses her as a reason to stay together. Her family constantly interferes in our lives, and she ignored my concerns about this. The situation has only worsened. She refuses to consider divorce because her parents won’t allow it. They won’t let her live with them either, and she relies on them completely. They mistreat her to avoid her presence at home. Despite knowing this, she’s afraid to go against her parents’ wishes. I’m looking for advice on how to move forward in this difficult situation.
