Salary Cheque Stopped For Payment
My salary cheque for the month (CBS Branch) of Punjab National Bank has been returned dishonoured with the remarks : Payment stopped by Drawer. The cheque was issued on 9th March. On 14th March, Co unceremoniously announced that I was no longer associated - without charge-sheet, without notice, even without termination letter. Now with the intention of forcing me to tender resignation, stopped the cheque of February.
