I’ve been with a small IT company in Hyderabad since June 2012. Three months ago, they relocated me to Bangalore for a client project and gave me a promotion. Unfortunately, after my move, my mother became ill and may need surgery. I’ve informed my manager and HR about this and submitted my resignation, offering a one-month notice period (the company policy is two months). I’m also willing to pay for the remaining month. However, my managers are now threatening to withhold my relieving documents if I don’t serve the full two months. What should I do in this situation?

Your manager’s threat to withhold your relieving documents is illegal under Indian law. You are entitled to receive your relieving documents upon completion of your notice period, even if it’s shorter than the company policy. You can consult with a lawyer or the labor department to enforce your rights.

I worked for an open-source telecom software company that only used open-source tools. I signed a document stating I couldn’t work with competitors or start a similar business for 3 years.

My expertise in this field should be utilized, right?

I was abruptly let go from my job without warning or the promised one month’s salary. My employer had misrepresented the role to me from the start, promising a managerial position that never materialized. The contract, while stating it was for three years, allowed them to dismiss me at any time with just a month’s notice and payment. Conversely, if I left, I would have to forfeit six months’ salary. There was no team, no support, and the company brought back the person I replaced after only five months. Now my career is in jeopardy. What legal options do I have to pursue justice?

Next Article My grandfather, who passed away two months ago at the age of 87, had four sons. One of his sons, my uncle, received 26 bigha of land and a house from our grandfather. However, we believe this transfer was done fraudulently and without my grandfather’s consent. He was suffering from paralysis and unable to make sound decisions. We are considering filing a legal case against my uncle and his sons to challenge this transfer. I have a few questions: 1. If we file a case, how long will it take for the court to issue a stay order to prevent them from making any changes to the house? 2. What is the estimated timeframe for the case to be decided and what would be the approximate cost of hiring a lawyer?
