Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Looking for Justice

Recently, i was dismissed from my company citing false

allegations. I informed to my company asia director

about the situation and sought justice from him. I

sought confidentiality from him and he promised me

after going through my letter that he will keep it

confidential and that he will take action if he finds

my allegations true. But the next day he visited our

office in india revealed my letter to the company,

gave my ex-boss the letter and left india saying that

i was wrong. He accepted that most of my allegations

were true but still said that i cannot continue in

office. The people in india office now have spoiled

my reputation in dental profession and i finding

hardship to find employment even after 4 months. I would like to know what are the ways i can file a suit against my company. And weather i can host the letter i gave to Asia director on the internet.

Re: Looking for Justice

You may file a civil suit for declaration and mandatory injunction. You will have to establish malafides of the company. Declaration sought would be declaration that the charges are false and for quashing of order of dismissal. You may also plead for all arrears of salary along with reinstatement . Along side the civil suit you may file a civil suit for defamation and/or criminal complaint for offence of defamation.

I do not see any gain to be achieved by hosting your letter on the internet. The same should be avoided especially if the contents thereof could lead to a counter case for defamation against you.
