Hello, I joined one company and left it without informing. I Signed the contract for 16 months.They opened my bank account in Dena Bank and took a blank cross cheque. I worked there for only 15 days.I didn't even take the salary. They are sending letters to my place every month stating legal action can be taken. Please tell me what legal action they can take. Regards Rajveer

what were terms of your appointment letter?
2) you have to give notice period as per terms of your appointment letter
3) since you failed to serve notice period company can deposit the blank cheque after filling in the amount payable by you
4) you can be declared as absconder
Hi
If you want to delay the process then do not reply to the notices . Then you may get the summons from court , at that time in court reply with your strong reasons to leave the job before the stipulated time period.
Thank You
If the company deposits the cheque after filling the amount. The cheque will automatically bounce as its newly opened bank account as i have never used it. So what action can the bank and the company can take. They can only declare me absconder or any further action they can take?
company can file complaint against you under section 138 Ni for dishonour of cheque
2) better approach the company and arrive at an amicable settlement .
If the cheque bounces then you will have to face to sec.138 NI Act trials , there court will ask you to pay the amount or you can take the defence of cheque lost or any other reason to defend yourself in cheque bounce case.
Mainly. . Do not worry.
Thank You
1. They can bounce the cheque and file criminal and recovery case against you.
2. This incident may be revealed in the background check.
Note - Talk to any lawyer on the forum to resolve the issue.

Dear Client,
You defaulted only one month and also not received ur salary, chill hardly any matter.
What are conditions of default.
The only legal action they can take to recover their loss which may occur because of your absconded resignation.
Why you have given the blank cross cheque, you need to apply for cheque stop payment for that cheque number.
They can do nothing more than filing a case against your for cheque bouncing.
If will able to defend it successfully, for service bonds are illegal in India.
It is a wrong decision to leave the company without informing them or tendering proper resignation letter.
Though it is a contract just for 16 months, it becomes your duty to honor the conditions imposed in the contract agreement.
Well, if they send a notice in this regard, you may what their charges are and deny them fully in your reply notice and face them in the court if they move a court on this, which most likely they may not, owing to the the issue not having much importance attached to it.
Since there is no legally liable debt with the company and also you hardly worked for 15 days, they may not initiate cheque bounce case since it is not maintainable.
They may not give a certificate of experience or the relieving letter.
They can file a suit for breach of contract
If the cheque was crossed by you then the same can not be presented for clearance. Also, take note of the fact that if the cheque is presented if the same was not crossed then they can file a case under section 138 of the NI Act, you may contest the same on the ground that there was no outstanding liability.
Also, send a reply to the legal notice, as soon as you receive a legal notice.
