I am a resident of Bangalore, India. I had entered into a scholarship agreement with a Singapore company in May 2003 for engineering studies in Singapore. They had paid for my studies between 2003-2007 after which I had to serve their company for 6 years.
I did not receive any employment offer from their side after this period and I left Singapore soon after. There is also a negative covenent which states that I will have to find alternative jobs only in Singapore (for the period of 6 years).
Now after more than 10 years since the agreement, they are asking for liquidated damages from the contract.
Though they have not yet served a legal notice, can I send a preemptive letter invoking the statute barred clause as it has been over 6 years since bond breach ?
A reply on this matter would be appreciated.
