It shall be civil suite.

Let us assume that you are terrified and may contemplate to pay the total amounts + costs as demanded by company.

If you contest court shall examine the merits and decide the reasonable cost if any to be levied on you. A competent lawyer can tell you in advance what will be the fate of the case file by the company.

You may proceed as deemed fit, at your end.

Guidance by Kumar Doab is useful and shoud be followed.

I received a summery suite specifying that my previous company filed a case of agreement breach and should pay 1,51,000.So,now is bond valid in India between a employee and company?If not why court accepted to give summery suite to me?Please give a complete reference to solve out.

You have entered into and agreement and signed the agreement by your free will.

The company has filed a case for breach of agreement by you.

Time is short i.e. 10 days as posted by you.

Approach a lawyer with all documents, give inputs and details in person, and give sufficient time to your lawyer to prepare the case after evaluating the documents, inputs and merits.

Since the matter is in court, court shall decide.

Kumar Doab sir,Can u estimate what will be the decission of court if I defend by my lawyer.

NO.

Your lawyer who shall see all documents produced by you, company, who has analyzed the inputs given by you and merits shall be best placed to comment on it.

Valuable advice of learned experts/members is sought.

.

in all you have mentioned what company had did but from your end in what way you left the company within notice period or not

without that without any information no lawyer will tell how you will defend in the court 

because with proper procedure you have resigned the job then there will be no problem even if you have signed the agreement and left in mid way
