Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Hello,

Previously i worked with one of the automobile dealer establishment for only 42days.i got better job so i left the job without informing or getting clearance letter .Now after nearly 4 and half month they are asking for some thing missed items which was handed over to me at the time of working ( at the time of leaving i don't have the different locker to keep the items so i am using one manager room to put the item and handed over the things to my co worker at the time of leaving the company and when he left the company he returned the locker key to the same manger(not a HR manager)). I thing i signed the taken items in white paper and i am not signed any bond for the work.

Kindly suggest me as per law what can i do,since i don't have those items with me. And specify the period of time can employer ask for missing things?

Thanks.

Dear Sir / Madam,

You cannot be held accountable for parts after more than 4 months have passed since the time you quit the dealer. This could well be a ploy of the dealer not to pay you the salary for the 42 days that you worked with the dealer.

You can write to the dealer that you had properly handed over all the Company property and the charge to your immediate supervisor on the last date of your employment with them.

The dealer should have conducted a physical stock check of items on the last day of your employment so that if any items were found short or missing in the physical stock check then, you could be held accountable and responsible for them.
