Hi Have worked with My previous organization( Fareportal) from NOV 2006 - April 2013. I along with 100 other employee resigned in the month of April and as My notice period was for 15 days I asked them to adjust my leaves with the notice period.
Then i joined another company , but my previous organization ( Fareportal) filed a summon of 50 lakh against every employee who joined with me . The contract said i cannot work on the same field for atleast 2 years.
Now i got an opportunity to work with accenture and they need my first organizations relieving letter. I called them ( Fareportal) and asked for relieving but the refused to pay my gratuity or relieving letter.
Please advise should I approach a lawyer. What Should I do as I need to submit my relieving to accenture within a week.
