My friend works on a contract basis for the government. His current office won’t give him a No Objection Certificate (NOC) for a new job. He didn’t tell his new employer that he was already working, resigned from his old job, and joined the new one as a fresher. Could this cause any problems for him? He doesn’t want any benefits from his previous job.

Yes, this could cause problems. While he may not want benefits, failing to disclose his previous employment and obtaining an NOC could be considered misrepresentation and breach of contract, potentially leading to legal action from the previous employer.

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?

I was working as an Area Business Manager for a large healthcare company with around 300 employees in India. I had 14 sales executives reporting to me. I reported to the HR Director about some unethical practices involving higher management, providing all the necessary evidence. Within a week, the Managing Director (MD) and HR arrived in my city and began questioning me about false accusations against me, without giving me any prior notice. They then sent me a ticket to the Head Office (HO) without any email invitation or agenda. When I arrived, they pressured me to stop my investigation and destroy all evidence. I refused. They then forced me to resign. I refused to resign and returned to my city. They immediately cancelled my return ticket and locked my Outlook account. They claimed that my job was non-compliant and the MD and his Director were involved. The same evening, on March 7th, they sent me a termination letter on my personal email, alleging that I left the office without handing over company assets. The next day, on March 8th, I responded, denying the termination and demanding a withdrawal of the letter. The HR replied a week later, stating that the termination was based on a company internal note, but I never received such a note. I then requested to return company assets, stating that I would do so under protest. I also expressed my grievances about the illegal termination and asked for a fair opportunity to defend myself. I pointed out that the termination letter did not follow the Severance Clause in my appointment letter, which required a two-month notice period or a two-month salary in lieu of notice. They responded that the Severance Clause allowed for termination without notice. I am concerned that I was terminated without a show cause, a domestic inquiry, or a chance to defend myself. I want to know if this kind of termination is legal. How can I challenge this in court? What are my chances of winning the case, and how long will it take? The company’s head office is in Gurgaon, and the regional office in Kolkata is not registered under the Shops and Establishments Act and conducts official procedures illegally.

My office environment has become very stressful and I’m unable to cope. I signed a two-year contract, but had to resign early. They refused my last month’s salary, but I agreed as long as I got a relieving letter. They promised it within a few days, but it’s been over two weeks and they’re now refusing to give me anything. I’m stuck, what can I do?

Is it legal for a company in India to withhold an employee’s salary simply because they didn’t meet their target? What if the employee then leaves the company, and they refuse to pay full and final settlement, instead sending a legal notice with questionable terms?

My previous private limited company is accusing me of fraud worth around ₹2.5 lakhs. I worked there for three years and left six months ago. They fired me claiming I was instigating colleagues, but gave me an NOC a month later. However, they recently filed a police complaint alleging fraud. Now, four months later, they’re going to the SP office to file a new case. What should I do, since they’ve manipulated the accounts to make it seem like I committed fraud?
