Sir, I’ve been working in a small firm in Pune for the past two years. I recently resigned, but my employer is demanding a three-month notice period and a two-year bond despite not being mentioned in my appointment letter. He also threatened my father with legal action and travel restrictions if I don’t comply. I’ve already accepted a job at a large multinational company and am worried about this situation.

Your employer cannot enforce a notice period or bond without a clear clause in your appointment letter. The threat of legal action and travel restrictions is likely an intimidation tactic. Consult a lawyer to understand your rights and options, especially as you’ve already accepted another job.

My business was wronged by a company in Mumbai, and I sought justice through arbitration in early 2012. The court ruled in my favor, but the company, despite being served the order, simply ignored it. They haven’t even responded to my letters. I chose arbitration because it was the fastest way to get my money back, even though it was costly. However, after all this time, I still haven’t recovered my dues. I’ve discovered that this company and its directors haven’t filed financial statements for years, raising serious red flags. What options do I have now? Should I go back to the High Court? Is this a case of contempt of court? What can be done to hold this company accountable for their actions?

Respected Sir, I’m a doctor pursuing MD at a government medical college in India. I’m on an in-service postgraduate program, meaning I’m a medical officer deputed by the Public Health Department for my MD. I recently received an appointment letter for a Central Government medical officer post and want to leave my MD seat. My deputation order states that leaving the PG seat would require me to reimburse the salary for the time I’ve worked. However, the medical college is demanding 16 lakhs, citing the lapse in their PG seat. Could you advise on the legal aspects of this situation? I can manage to pay 8 lakhs now. Is it possible to pay the remaining 8 lakhs later?
