-> No calll/Mail followup from *** within the period 05Mar15- 19Dec17

-> *** doesn't responds to my email & call in response to their letter dated 08Dec18.

-> *** legal Dept. has given legal Notice for recovery suite ,Dated 05Jan18

-> *** legal is doing fraud by posting a backdated letter (letter is posted after 10-15 days from the date mentioned in letter body & expecting my response within 10 days of the letter date)

Questions :

1. Did I owe to pay *** an unjustified amount of Rs46000.00 when i have recieved only 32000 as part of salary for 24 working days in Dec2014 .?

2. How is it justified that *** sends Notice pay recovery after 3 years of absconding(from 2014) with an Interest of 24% P.A. . They could have settled in the few months after they relived me from thier services .

3. What are the points in favour of me legally ?
