In Indian laws getting compensation is very rare, howsoever the severity of crime. If you wish to teach them a lesson you can, but you cannot postpone for years together. If completion of Ph.D is more than one year then you have to file complaint now itself that is within reasonable time....more suggestions in person.

Question: I am pursuing PhD programme for the past few years and I have undergone mental harassment by my guides and they forced me to spend my fellowship to spend on research. They have abused me with unhuman words and they have not supported me to move forward. I would like to file a mental harassment case against my supervisor after the completion of my PhD programme. In this connection, kindly let me know the possibility of filing the case even after leaving the firm /institute. I request you to provide the information at the earliest possibility. Can I get any kind of compensation?

Response - yes - you can file a case - compensation - you can claim but we have to weigh the options and see if you will be awarded any

There is something called limitation, within which you might have to file the case. If u wish to file immediately after it phd, it is advisable to secure documents from now on, which will help you to pursue effective remedy.
