you may refer the doc... and i say that the agreement has stand and you're under obligations..... you mention that you have worked there for 16 months and now left the company, so in that case after the training period of one year, the company must have drawn the employment agreement and laid down the new terms and conditions. you were related to the company as the trainee and in case of 16 months, what was your role??
You must have objected for the clauses 08 and 14, and it's tripartite agreement as it also involves the person who guarantees. Anyways, since you are sure about your employer that no good amount is being spent on you during training period, you may defend the situation.
But I personally suggest you that you join the company as employer but make sure that the terms of the employment are bound by the period and also in favour of the employee unlike the present one, in the present one no choice of the trainee is taken in to consideration. You Can always take up the defense saying that you could hardly learn and satisfied with your training and you have no hope that your career path will be drawn and it is hindering your growth. Demand for more salary so that they can not offered you. Read well and understand before signing any document!! I can not guarantee the absolute escape but chances are there testing your luck....
