February 28, 2025 at 1:43 pmYes, you should have slapped them.You need to call out such behaviour and instill the fear in them.
You need to embarrass the parents of the kids and also the friends parents who let this shit slide.
Just to ensure you stand protected, video record their behaviour so you have proof if shit goes south.
And try to slap them where there is no CCTV camera.
In India, it’s not enough to be on the right side of law..you need to play smart as well.
We have all been kids and no this is not how boys talk to each other.

February 28, 2025 at 9:40 amA right of easement is a legal right that gives someone the ability to use another person’s land for a specific purpose. It’s a property right that allows someone to enter or use another person’s land without owning it.He can’t legally block your access.
Ask him to buy it at the current rate if you are keen to sell and not want to be in fight forever.

February 24, 2025 at 1:17 pmIn house counsel here.Ensure that you have communicated about your pregnancy in writing.
This will ensure that you are not be terminated for being pregnant and no benefits can be denied to you.
Maternity benefits act provides you with certain protection and if you are terminated in this period you will stand protected (You will have to challenge the unlawful termination)
Alternatively, you could ask for a lumpsum settlement and severe ties.
Do consultant an lawyer well versed with labour laws and strategies your next move.

February 23, 2025 at 9:39 amWhile there may be someone who might agree to your proposal (if they are free and don’t have much work)But do know
An advocate practising in India is expressly barred by law from charging a fee contingent on the outcome of a legal proceedings as per The Advocates Act, 1961.
All you need to know is if the statements made by you are not false or untrue you need not worry much about the outcome.
The company will end up spending more than they can earn.
If you don’t have the bandwidth to fight them agree to delete the videos and settle the matter.

February 22, 2025 at 6:14 pmHey buddyYour legal recourse would be
1. Filing an grievance with Amazon
2. Filing a case with consumer forumFor a phone worth 24k going to consumer forum should be your last resort.
Follow up with them. Escalate on social media.
You could also report the same to your bank if payment is made online and state the product was not received.
Find out the email id or twitter handle of some folks in Amazon and write to them on twitter.
Social media may be better than going to the consumer forum.

February 22, 2025 at 7:45 amVery suprising.Sharing a document with a password is understandable but portal login is not something people would ask..
Check the source may be a scam.
Also, seek a confirmation from the organization on LinkedIn or some portal, if this is their standard practice.
If you are rejecting the offer, atleast call them out publicly.
Remember, when you make truthful statement you never have to worry about defamation

February 22, 2025 at 7:41 amDo not share your credentials at any cost.You can’t claim to be Hacked later as you voluntarily gave the password.
This is not a usual ask.
Not even a a single company I worked in the past 10 years has asked for this.

February 22, 2025 at 5:33 am1. Legal if you agree to it.
2. Yes, similar to retention bonus.
3. You will be liable to repay the amount that your salary and other dues don’t cover for it.These policies are signs of not a great place to work.
Get the hint

February 22, 2025 at 4:58 amCheck your employment agreement and read the termination clause while you are under probation.Mostly Either parties could terminate the agreement without cause during this phase.
The notice clause mentioned in the termination clause will determine if you are eligible for any pay.
Labour laws in India are meant to protect the blue collar employee and not others.
Also, don’t waste your time energy and resources fighting this. Move on.

February 20, 2025 at 5:54 pmFor the benefit of people reading. A simple search online would lead you to this.Employment bonds are legal in India, governed primarily by the Indian Contract Act, 1872. They are agreements where an employee commits to work for a specific period, often in exchange for training or specialized skills provided by the employer. If the employee leaves before this period ends, they may be required to pay a penalty, typically termed as “liquidated damages”12.
However, the enforceability of these bonds hinges on several factors:
Reasonableness: The terms of the bond must be fair and not excessively restrictive. Courts assess whether the duration, penalties, and obligations are reasonable125.
Legitimate Interests: The bond should protect the employer’s legitimate interests, such as safeguarding confidential information or recovering training costs34.
Voluntary Consent: Both parties must enter into the agreement willingly and with a clear understanding of its implications12.
Public Policy Compliance: The bond must not violate public policy or statutory provisions, such as employee rights under the Industrial Disputes Act24.
If any term is deemed unreasonable or oppressive, it may be challenged in court and potentially rendered unenforceable. Thus, while employment bonds can serve as a deterrent against premature resignation, they must be crafted carefully to ensure compliance with legal standards34.
Now, alot depends on the company, your role, time + resources spent on you. In a 5 day period I don’t think substantial costs would have been incurred by the company.
Also, what is your CTC.
Cause eventually the company is fighting of this amount and if this amount is less than 6 lacs, that organisation is not going to litigate this. Simply from a cost benefit analysis this wouldn’t be worth their time.
Also, you don’t need their work experience nor do you need a relieving letter.
I don’t expect them to take this forward and I assume all the notices you have received is from their in house counsel of at all.
If the notice is being sent through a lawyer on the lawyers letter head and if this lawyer is a decently established one then you may have some issues and it might make sense to seek legal counsel in replying to this letter.
If there were any actions or non compliance that you have observed then mention it in your response.

February 20, 2025 at 10:57 amYou can claim bankruptcy and get your loan amount reduced and interest waived off.Suicide for 36k emi is just not worth it.
You will kill your parents.
Accept your mistake and end all such activities.
Do not take any drastic step. It may temporary end your misery but till start your parents.
Speak to a CA and get a bankruptcy certificate and then negotiate with the bank.
If you show bankruptcy then your interest gets waived off completely.

February 5, 2025 at 4:31 pmWhat is a release letter?You should simply ask for your stipend for the days you have worked.
And experience letter.
But, considering you have only worked for 2 months and are leaving on a bad note, ideally you should not even mention this place in your resume as you don’t want your future employers to do a back ground verification at this place.

February 5, 2025 at 4:20 pmA full bed rest doesn’t mean you have to resign.You could have opted for sick leave or leave without pay.
You are obligated to return company asset (including sim)
Tell them you are happy to serve the notice period once your bed rest as advised by doctor is over.
You are well within your rights to ask for salary for the days you have worked.
