Dear all,
Greetings to all of you. I need guidance from you all regarding my issue.
I had joined a manufacturing company few months back. During interview or at the time of issuing appointment letter i was not told that I have to sign any service bond in future. After few months of joining company, my employer asked me to sign a service bond for heavy amount (approx. indian rs. 14 lakhs) which is much more than my annual CTC. When I refused to sign, they asked me to leave job and hence unwillingly and forcefully I had to sign a bond. But it was not signed in front of notary or in court. All these things happened within my probation period.
Now because of some personal reason, I had to break it and come to my native place. I have just completed my probation period at the time of leaving job but not yet issued confirmation. My employer is asking me to pay their expenses or they will approach court for legal actions.
I would like to know if it is legally right? If my emploer can really take any legal action on it? What should be my responce on it? Please guide.
Thanks in advane,
Nishant
