Hi.
I joined an IT Org in January, but had to leave because of acute health reasons which made me bound to be at home.
For the same reason i did not resign but asked for 6 months Leave without pay which the employer did not agree with.
At the time of joining, employer made me sign a bond of 1 year and i had to submit a cheque of 2.5 lakhs for the surity that if i leave the organisation, i will pay that amount.
But as i am prepared to join after 6 months( right now it has been 1 month ), i did not resign.
Now employer is threatening me to pay up the amount of 2.5 lakhs and also some added up amount otherwise he will present the cheque and get it bounced so that he can file a criminal case against me.I have already made a stop payment request with the bank.
Also he is threatening me with a civil suite for non continuance of employment and the loss amounted for my absence at work.
I know if he files a suite, i have to fight it legally, but i am not aware about the repurcussions that i will face.
Also i want to know, in case he files civil and criminal sute, will it come to my local police station ? or as a postal notice ? in which way it will come to me ?
