Hi, I received a legal notice from the employer for whom I was working. I left the job due to some family problems(my mother was not doing well and there was nobody to take care of her) I communicated each and everything to the HR and the MD, family issues were a primary reason of leaving the job but few other factors contributed to it like when I was in need of money the company putted my salary on hold, from past six months I have never received the salary which I was promised at the time joining. While receiving the resignation HR didn't mentioned about the notice period but suddenly after 25 days they sent me a legal notice asking for 1 lakh rupees. I have the company laptop and mobile with me and I have told them that once the situation at my home will recover I will come and give you the company property as well as I don't have issues in serving the notice period. Now my question is what shall I do about the legal notice.

You approach labor court alleging all the above facts bringing the company's Highhandedness, arbitrariness,Unfair labour practice and victimization and mental torture. You may get justice.You will get arrears of your salary and the benefit of serving in the notice period.First issue a reply to your employers legal notice..Engage a good Labor and service law lawyer.With his guidance you can proceed further.

The facts posted are less than convincing.

Reply the legal notice through your lawyer denying any liability.

Before issuance/reply of legal notice introspect your own action, which do not favour you in the given circumstances.
Consult and engage a local lawyer practicing service matters with relevant records/communication with your erstwhile employer.
