In India, government employees are required to seek permission from their department before pursuing any educational courses. Failing to do so is a violation of service rules and could lead to disciplinary action, including a warning, suspension, or even dismissal.

As a bank manager in India, I submitted my resignation and received a notification from HR about outstanding dues, leave balances, and liabilities. They also instructed my branch to collect a bond amount of Rs. 1.20 lakh. A woman has filed a police complaint alleging that items were stolen from her husband’s locker at our branch. While her husband, a customer, hasn’t filed any complaint with us or the police, I’ve paid the bond amount, cleared my dues, and settled my liabilities. However, on my last day, I was told over the phone that my release is contingent on the closure of this case. What can I do in this situation?
