Hi
My name is Nirup and I am a former employee of HSBC bank in Bangalore in corporate sector. I went absconding from my job since I had to take care of my mother who is suffering from paranoid schizophrenia. After a few days of leaving my job I got a notice from my employer to pay certain amount due. However, I chose to ignore it as I wasn't paid anything apart from the time I have worked. Now though I have a court summon issued against me, I believe it is under section 61 as it says at the top of the form. How do I proceed further. Im going through a financial crisis due to which Im not able enough to hire a lawyer or pay the requested amount. Any advice on this matter will be helpful.

you have to contest the case as you are unable to pay your employer and further as per you NOTHING IS DUE. so contest the case, if you are really not in position to make payment to lawyer you can approach District Legal Services Authority of your district and they will provide you services of lawyer free of cost.
for further clarifications you can mail/whatsapp me

What is this amount and pertaining to what?
Did you employer issue any appointment letter to you and is this amount as per service rules/conditions?
Why did you have to abscond if your mother was sick?

Did you apply for leave? Do you have copy and POD?
Was this leave rejected? Do you have copy of rejection?

Engage a prudent local lawyer and contest the case if you are unable to reconcile and persuade your employer to withdraw the notice/case.
