Q: Resignation and Notice Period Issue

I am writing regarding my resignation during the probation period. I left the job without serving the notice period and informed the company via WhatsApp. Since I had not signed any appointment letter or agreement, no formal notice period terms were applicable.When I visited the office for handover after a few days, I was pressured and harassed to sign a compensation letter for three months' salary, which I refused. I have now received a letter demanding either a three-month notice period or compensation, which I believe is unjustified.

Advocate Ruchi Singh answered
You can give Reply to the said notice if you have bot signed any documents yet.You can check your offer letter if compensation clause is written there.If it is jot there they cant charge you with the same.

Q: My wife has medical issues and so cannot be a mother

Got married in feb 21 and since then we were trying for a baby, however she told that she cannot be a mother. And that she and her family have purposely hidden these facts as they wanted her to get married and settled. I had asked her many times dat let's see a doctor, but she isn't ready for dat as well. Instead she and her family asked me to go ahead with surrogacy.... And dey had already seen a girl from their family who is ready for it. It's been a month and half and I have made up my mind of not to continue with her. Had also sent a legal notice, but she hasn't accepted it. And returned the same back to me.

As far as your marriage is consummated which is quite evident from your message you can not file divorce case till the tine it completes one year. Though you can lodge a police complaint against your wife and in- laws for keeping you in dark.Larer on you can use that complaint to prove cruelty against you.

You must be having payment details / modes with you. He has also paid your rent which confirms that he has taken loan from you.You can send a legal demand notice to him and if he doesn’t reply or pay you can file a recovery suit against him.
