Dear All,
My brother-in-law who is currently unemployed and is into politics and public service, is facing a curious problem
He joined an company as a auditor, and quite it in 2 months time, he got relived after due process such as
1.) No dues certificate from Accounts team
2.) No dues clearance from his department head
3.) Assert hand over and confirmation of his release date by Head of department.
4.) Security and other exist formalities duly signed off
5.) Resignation acceptance and reliving letter from his HR manager.
Suddenly after 6 years he gets a call from a lawyer claiming he owns the company a specific amount and needs to pay them back with interest else face legal consequences.
He tried to explain his situation to them but, he found they kept repeating of threat of legal action and not answering his specific questions, he called up his previous manager and found them to be completely surprised, his manager recommend him to hand him over all his documents so he can reason-out as what has triggered this mistaken identity.
My queries are
1.) Does he really needs to hand-over his letters to the manager
2.) Or he should rather sue back the employer for damages if yes how much can he claim as compensation
3.) As he is currently out of employment and in dire financial issue, can he sue the company for re-instantiation to the previous position.
Regards.
