You are already being counselled by your able lawyer. Your lawyer shall advice and defend you.
If there was anything negative about you during employment then employer should have shared every negative entry with you and that too in reasonable time.
Supreme Court of India
Sukhdev Singh vs Union Of India & Ors. on 23 April, 2013
>> The voice clip establishes that prospective employer has engaged into running a BGV/reference check on you and has received a feedback also from the past employer and it is in its custody. This feedback given by past employer is negative (untruthful) and has resulted into loss of employment from prospective employer and loose out on income.
Till the time the past employer keep untruthful record in your personnel file maintained by it, it shall continue to say and write untruthful and falsified statements about you and damage your image/market value/ employability/reputation/fame ..................and you hall continue to suffer damages.
>> If the past employer is interested to respond to a reference check then it should state absolutely accurate things or it may suffer lawsuit.
If this feedback is falsified then are aggrieved due to it and have the right to obtain the copy and the past employer should be in a position to justify the truthfulness of the contents.
Has the prospective employer paid you the expenses you have incurred on attending interview and to meet its demands e.g. submitting certificate copies, taking printouts etc..................................??
Did it issue any selection letter, offer letter?
Is it denying to reimburse now and to appoint due to negative BGV?
Another perspective is that prospective employer might have not entered into reference check directly ad might have engaged a third party. This third party might have obtained the BGV in writing or might have called on phone the line managers, colleagues and HR..............................and might have prepared a report. This third party should have collected and seen factual and actual and truthful data before writing the comments and should have substantiated with docks.
You should approach the prospective employer in writing and demand certified copies of your job application and all interview notes and BGV, reference checks..................If the company and its HR does not reply approach a lawyer and let your lawyer write a letter on your behalf, or opening a case for you and subpoenaing your application records.
>> All said and done you may approach the lawyer specializing in criminal cases, defamation, and discriminatory retaliation.............malicious intent..................etc
>> Tactically you can ask a third party to run a check o you and handover the copies to you. Smart one does it.
Do something to defend your interest. Your action may make them wet their pants.
Let the truth come out forever and set you free from the injuries forever.
Approach and join trade unions too.
