Dear Sirs,
one of my client left his job in February 2007 without any notice. now the employer company sent my client a notice(not legal) to refund a amount of 2600/-.
my query is :-
1. whether company can initiate legal proceeding now as the matter is 4 years old?
2. if yes, what action can company take?
3. what is the limitation for such recovery?
awaiting response.
Regards,
Suneel Moudgil

actually no rights to claim amount to you, because too late, do one thing you just send the formal letter to the company to rebut all allegations.

Normally limitation for such a kind of recovery is 3 years from the date on which the amount fell due. However, if your client has given any written acknowledgment about his liability, then the period of limitation begins afresh from such an acknowledgement. I do not think that the company will go to court for recovery of such a small amount. But the company may file suit for recovery of the amount which of course would be prima facie time barred.

You stating that your client left his job without any notice.. So as per your view only its 4 years back. But what about company's view? Just clear it that when view relieved your client from company works? Or still he is not dismissed from company!
