Dear Team Of Excellent Lawyers Supporting This Forum
Please help me as i am caught up with a major problem. My cousin sister joined a company and signed a bond for 2 years. She is a brilliant French Student and aced all her Graduation Exams. After 15 to 16 months of hard work at the company she asked her boss if she could leave the company for higher studies. The boss scoled her and asked that she cannot leave this company before 24 months. The job was really strennnous and quite often she was forced to work during night shifts. Although the company did provide a Cab for transportation she was not very comfortable working at night shifts. She was also forced to work beyong her normal working hours on multi million dollar projects. She was only given an in house trianing within the company on the kind of activities she is required to perform and did not in any way enhanced her skills. The company infact used her fluence in French to assign her various French Projects.
Since she was preparing for Enterance Test for Post Graduation in French from Delhi University which has only 25 to 30 seats she decided to quit her job as it was coming in way of her ambitions. She did sent a resignation letter by Indian registered Post to her Boss a copy of which is attached in the Word File below.
She left the job, studied hard and cleared the entrance test. She also won a scholarship from private institution which sponsored her special french classes in Paris. This was all after she quit her job.
The company presented her "Father's Cheque" which they had retained at the time of her signing the bond and the same was dishounoured. We did notify the company that the cheque will be dishounoured in the resignation letter sent to the boss.
They then sent a Lawyer's Notice which we never replied to. Now we have a Legal Notice from court for "Cheque Dishonour" and does not state anything about job.
Please can all you genuises advise the legal implications we have. Do we have a strong case to contest and if yes on what grounds and sections of law?
P.S. The family is not financially strong.
