Legal Question in Employment Law in India

Hi ,

I was working for a company in Bangalore and got the offer letter to join the company in native place Delhi which I accepted. I resign my old company after serving the notice period for two months. I moved back to native place to join this new company.

HR called me one day before joining the company to sign some bond for two years which was not informed me before. And when I asked about the bond according to them they will send me abroad for some training and this bond is required. I signed the bound with an expression that they will send me for some further training. When I joined the company they asked me to work on task which was not even matching my skill set . When I asked the same to the manager they told me that you are align to this task only and I have to work on the same tasks which was really not my skill set.

Bond consists of two part one self and second for the grantor. I signed my part and grantor was to be my father as he was out of town he was not able to sign that . Grantor documents are with me till date . As the profile and the job was not for my skill set I started looking for other company and got the offer to join other company with in 1.5 months .As I have not submitted the remaining documents for the bond, company stopped my salary . I want to resign the company but company wants me to pay bond amount which was almost like 1 lac for final settlement which was unfair.

They lied me the job profile , salary structure and even asked me to sign the bond one day before of joining the company as they were sending me abroad which was also not true .

I still resigned as per the process in company portal cc to my personal ID for record and joined the other company without service the notice period .

I am getting a letter from the company to pay the bond amount which I was always ignoring. Its almost three years now I left the company . Few days back I got lawyer notice from Indore that company has appointed some retied judge as arbitrator so that final settlement can be done .

Company has not paid me the salary for one month just because bond papers were not submitted and now they are asking me the money and sending the letters

I felt this company has cheated me and forced me to sign the bond. I don�t know if any legal action can be taken against the company for harassment.
