Hi, I can see this is a common question. But my case is slighly different and I have additional question.
I worked in a IT organization for 3.6 yrs. At the end of 3 yrs the company wanted me to sign a bond for 1yr. This bond was a normal paper bond and I signed it. Within 6 months, even before the completion of the 1 yr paper bond they wanted me to sign another 1.6 yr bond , which is stamp papered, and said , if I am not interested I need to leave the organization, next day itself, for which my CEO said, the previous bond is not considered any more and he is not going to give my relieving letter if I resign and he said, its a crucial time in project. I told them I will serve the notice period or the remaining bond period , but the CEO did not accept and I need to come out of the organization, and for time being I joined in a consultancy and got deputed to another IT concern.
After this I struggled a lot to get the relieving letter, finally I sent a lawyer notice to my CEO and HR, and I got a relieving letter , where it has been stated my perfomance not satisfactory.
Now I have 3 questions:
1. If I file a case against CEO, is it valid and what about the success rate.
2. Now I am working in a consulancy, but If I go for direct job in a big IT concern, will I need to produce
the lawyer notice I have sent already. Because I dont know whether lawyer has got a copy with her as
its been 6 months.
3. How much money and Time I have to spend , If I file a case against my CEO also is there any change of case back firing.
Further details
1. Its a organization owned by private with just 5 to 10 members
2. I was salaried
3. All these happened before april 2015 and notice was issued on him on august 2015
4. I got my bad referenced relieving leter on september 2015
