Damages on software company

Dear Pavan,

In my opinion , in reply to your Query 1- Yes you can sue the company.

Query 2- Did they pay you salary in lieu of your notice period while terminating? If not then you may claim that based upon the termination of employment clause in your offer letter.But you may not claim the salary from date of termination to date of providing exp letter.

More of it can be discussed and advised by looking into your offerletter and other emails etc . exchanged during the incident.

Dear Querist,

A defamation case can be filed U/s 499 IPC. But proving is not that simple. In cases of unpaid salary, an employee can (i) approach the labour commissioner to reconcile the matter, or (ii) file a suit under Section 33(c) of Industrial Disputes Act, 1947 for recovery of money due from an employer, or (iii) file a case with the competent authority under Payment of Wages Act 1936. 

Cases have to be decided by such labour court within period not exceeding Three Months provided that where the presiding officer of a labour court considers it necessary or expedient to do so, he may for reasons to be recorded in writing, extend such period by such further period as may he think fit.

Regards,

Palak
