I worked in a private scheduled bank as a Prob.Officer since one and a half year.The bond is of 4 years and confirmation period is 2 years.At the time of bond signing my original educational certificates were kept at hold by the organization to be released only after the completion of the bond.(This is what they do with everybody)
When I joined the bank,I could not accept few practises which are high risk taking but have a chalta-hai type attitude of my seniors.E.g They used to ask me to sign cash register without counting the cash,Forcing us to sign the attendence register with 3:00 PM whereas we used to work in bank till 8:00PM.sending me to carry heavy cash 15-20 lacs by public transport without any security.As I had verification power and sign power my seniors used to pressurise me to pass few transactions without providing proper documentations.
Given So,As this was my first job after college I was really scared of getting trapped in some illegal transactions as my seniors will not help me if any illegal transactions gets passed due to such malpractises.But to minimize the work they used to pressurize me do stuff without much questions asked.
Many a times I had disputes with my seniors with such thing hence I was not in their good books.Being on probation,I was mentally tortured too.
Nov 2010 I fell sick for around 4-5 months (Heavy chest infection) .I kept informing the bank and every week used to send them certificate from a reputed doctor.
After around 3 months,while I was in sick leave, they sent me a letter that your leave account is nill and your further leave extension is not granted.hence you are advised to join the bank immediately.
To the response,I requested them to extend the leave with supporting letter of the doctor.
After around 1-2 months they sent me a termination letter that "Due to your unsatisfactory performance in probation we terminate you from the services of the bank"
As I was also bit upset with thier practises in bank,I requested them to convert this termination word with a mild word so that it does not add a stigma to my carrer.I was terminated due to unsatisfactory performance,but they didnot do it saying it is as per our rules of probationary oficers and it is not causing any stigma on you as you are only terminated for underperformance and not bad character.Also the points that I raised like malpractises in the bank were given a -ve reply saying its only you who is complaining, no other officer complained.
Now its almost 1 year doing this correspondence with them but they are not moving their stand.
Now what should I do,as my next employers will definetly have a check with my past employer only to find this termination stigma.
Should I file a case in Labour court/civil court or let the by gones be by gones??
