Re: Joining new company before giving resignation from previous company
You may have to pursue your employment contract before doing the same. Because many a times the employment contract has a clause which may restrain you from working for the competitors or other organisation during your employment with the present company.
We may be able to help you if you provide more details on the same or you can take a local advocates opinion.

It may be illegal to work for someone else while continuing previous job. The previous employer may be entitled to take legal action, if he is aggrieved by your decision/action.
