This query is : Resolved
hello, I had been offered job opportunity by a company based at ABC for their third party located at XYZ. They had sent me the offer letter, other relevant forms, verification consent form, etc. I accepted the offer and had sent them back the scanned copies of filled forms and my resignation mail which i had sent at my current organization. The new company HR acknowledged my resignation. Now after 1 week, yesterday, the HR of that new company calls me to inform that the offer which they have made to me is revoked since the XYZ company has revoked it at their end. Now I have already put down my papers and since they wanted me to join in next month, i had some verbal arguments at my current company to relieve me in 1 months time. My relation at my current company is somewhat spoiled as i want to leave in 1 month notice time, as they wanted me to stay with them till the time they dont get my replacement.
I am now in a difficult situation, where i cannot go back to my current company and the new company has also revoked the offer inspite of issuing the offer and other documents through mail.
Please suggest what should i do. I was thinking of planning a labour court case against the new company for a remuneration of 1 year, since they have just played with my career.
kind regards
Neeshank

Did you record the call of HR personnel vide which the offer is arbitrarily cancelled?
If yes it is good.
If No you should minute the discussion (mention phone numbers/date/time/minutes etc).
Approach your lawyer and claim compensation.
Are you a member of any employee's/Trade unions?

You have not been relieved from your present company, try to settle the matter with them. Meanwhile search for another job.
You can proceed against your new company but from the given facts your case does not have considerable merit in your favor.
