Legality Of Holding Up Salary Of Employee During Notice Period

Hello there...
I need an urgent help in this matter..
Case: employee at managerial position in a private co. places resignation with a willingness to work during the notice period of two months..Resignation placed on 2nd July, 2009 for which the notice period ends on 2nd sept, 2009.. Now can the employer co. hold the salary for the month of June, 2009 alongwith the notice period of 2 months of such an employee saying that it is the policy of the company...and shall release the payment only at the time of relieving the employee...
Is such policy be considered legal...?
Is there any remedy to such an employee..?
Please help me out in such a situation as the employee in above case is myself..
Regards,
Pankti

Still the company have stopped mine salary for the month of June, 2009..
Moreover they gave me the salary slip? i mean wat does tht mean?

What should i do..i have talked with the HR head of the co but it seems that they have such policy to unnecessary harass the employees who resign.. its not a crime to resign..?
Then why such harassment.
Please can anyone provide me the help to proceed in this matter..

I understand your problem and smpathise with you.
It is good that you are leaving such a company.
Being in Managerial position, the only way out is a Civil suit, which I am afraid, is not feasible, as it takes years and years and, to quote Sunny Deol in one of his movies, "Tarikh pe tarikh".
Such companies know this, and that is how they exploit employees.
In my posts, I have always raised my voice against such dubious, baniya "outfits" which are an insult to the term "company". They are worse than the neighbourhood paanwala as far as ethics and corporate governance is involved.
Ideally, you should have submitted resignation after getting your salary. But no use crying over split milk. Carry on with cheer in the new company.
Regards.
