Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in India

Hi,

I am in a very critical condition now, it has been 10 months since I left a company, I signed a BOND with the company for one year, but i left it early because they used to harass me. Today I received a "COURT SUMMON" , we refused to accept the summon. The person carrying it was from some courier company and he told us that "this summon is from court for amount 2.5 lakhs that you have to pay to your company now for breaking the bond and for the claim that company is making".My name and my mother's name was mentioned in the summon , as my mother signed the bond papers as guarantee.

Please help, what should I do now. What will happen now as we have refused to accept the summon and what is the procedure which I should follow??. Is there any chances that I may get arrested for this??..How many times the summon is sent??I have not done anything wrong. The company used to harasses me so I left the company.

Please advice

Thanks in Advance!

Dear Sir / Madam,

I have repeatedly replies that any Company asking any of its employees to sign an Employment Bond of any form or nature whatsoeve, being treated as bonded labour is against the principal of natural justice, and it implies the Company is indulging in an illegal activity and is a criminal offence rendering each and every responsible Company official liable to fine and imprisonment.

You should write a letter to the Managing Director of your Company on the above lines and point blank refuse to pay any monies to the Company, and instead claim compensation and damages for mental harassment caused to you during employment..

Regards,
