I was working in a Pvt Ltd Company and my net salary is Rs. 4600/- per month. After 1 and half year I resigned and joined another company but within two weeks I realized that my new job was not fit for me. I came back to old company for rejoining. Company allowed me to rejoin with a condition that I have to sign a service bond mentioning I couldn't leave before two years and if I do so, then I will be charged for Rs. 50,000/-.
At the time of rejoining I did not fill any kind of form. As I was in urgent need of job so I signed the bond and received my appointment letter, that's all. Now after 6 months, I am getting a good opportunity in Ltd Company with good salary. I tried to negotiate for Rs. 50,000/- out of court but Old company is not ready. Company is saying it will file a case for breaking service bond or pay him Rs. 50,000/- through court. As my work is totally clerical (computer), I didn't take any training from them.
I have heard Pvt Company don't go to court regarding service bond. They just threat the employee. My local lawyer is saying, if company files a case then you have to fight.
I am afraid and confused regarding court case. Please help.
