Urgent Help Needed
I joined an organization (proprietorship type) owned by a well-known personality. I was completely misled:
• Misleading Job Profile
The profile that was promised to me was never there. I joined as the head of the department (GM) but was asked to work without a team, without interacting with existing customers, and with no other support or resources. Just a laptop, internet connection, and a mobile phone. My profile was supposed to be business development through sales and marketing, but in the given situation, I worked in hardcore sales (getting data from the net, making telemarketing calls, pursuing overseas buyers for investment through emails and phone calls, etc.).
• Unprofessional Treatment During Stay
There were no KRA, performance appraisals, or targets—the only thing was money in the bank, "one has to earn his/her salary through sales done each month," like a typical shop. During my stay, a lot of unprofessional comments were made at home and in the office.
• Dues Not Paid
After 5 months, when the previous GM returned after a long illness, I was asked to leave immediately, and dues as per the offer letter were not paid.
The company had the intention to mislead from the beginning. They asked me to join within a week in the backdrop of some training and overseas traveling. I left my previous job based on their assurances, but there was no such thing. Also, the offer letter given after joining carried exploitative conditions.
I am looking for a lawyer to file a case to recover my dues and suitable compensation, also asking them to withdraw the termination, as termination on grounds of unsatisfactory performance is not justified.
I have elaborated on my case with every detail in the attached document.
I shall be thankful to group members if they please go through my case and offer their advice.
Thanks a lot.

Having reviewed your case, I feel very sad about the incident that occurred. We, as members, are always here to help those in trouble and in need of legal assistance, and I hope everybody will agree with me. Nowadays, such incidents are increasing because there is less fear of the law, and no one wants to get involved in legal matters and waste their time and money. However, with proper guidance and advice, these situations can be avoided.
Let's Discuss Your Case
Firstly, you need to challenge your termination case and prove it wrong. Then, address other points step by step. You may file a case in the Industrial Tribunal under the Employment and Industrial Relations Act or the Civil Court. It is essential to hire a good advocate who practices in the same field and can assist you effectively. Please let me know if you need any further assistance.

Dear All,
I need urgent help from the members. I would also like to add that mine was a Fixed-Term Contractual Appointment for 3 Years, which was given to me after joining. It also states that if I leave, I must pay for the last 6 months, whereas the company can terminate at any time during the aforementioned 3-year period without assigning any reason, on payment of 1 month's salary or notice in lieu thereof.
Kindly advise on how I should proceed. Can I lodge a formal complaint with the labor commissioner? Would it be advisable to pursue a civil suit? I really want to fight for my case. Do you have any idea about the court fees?
Thanks, and I look forward to the expert help of group members. I am also in need of lawyers who deal with civil/labor-related cases in Delhi.
Thanks & regards
