Hi,
I have signed an overseas deputation agreement with my employer on a Rs.20 Stamp Paper in 2006 and the agreement is scheduled for 12 months. As per this agreement the notice period was 6 months.
In 2008, the notice period clause was changed from 6 to 3 months. I have signed the updated/new agreement in USA in 2008 on a company letterhead.
I resigned the firm in USA and now the employer has sent a legal notice claiming that I have breached the overseas agreement.
My question is
1. Does the agreement executed in USA is valid in India? Since I was not given any option /provision to get any legal advice in USA. Can the employer file a case in India based on this?
2. The initial agreement signed on stamp paper is for 12 months and hence it's void. Correct me if I am wrong?
Thanks
Kumar
