Dear Client

If everything you are alleging is oral and you have no written contracts signed between you and your manager then i am afraid that there is nothing much you can do. However if you hv some documentary evidence then you have a case.

Hi,

You may sue him for criminal breach of trust and for specific performance.

File a police complaint for cheating and breach of trust.

If there was non compete clause in the agreement you can sue the manage for the damages suffered, You can issue a legal notice to the manager claiming the damages. if he fails to pay you have to file a civil suit for claiming damages.

1. You must have executed a contract with him. What are the terms and conditions prescribed therein?

2. Is there a clause in the contract which says that he cannot poach your clients and employees? If the answer is in affirmative then you can sue him for damages on account of breach of contract and seek permanent injunction against him.

3. Consult a lawyer with the copy of contract, if any.

1. You can file a Police FIR, requesting investigation and charge-sheet, for offences like cheating, intimidation, fraud against the this person, supported with all relevant supporting documents.

If he has cheated you or committed breach of trust then you may lodge a criminal complaint against him with the local police and seek relief and remedy because under police pressure he may come to your terms.

If he is ready for talks then involve some third party to the meeting and then solve the issues amicably otherwise you can even file a suit for damages against him in case you possess evidence for that.

Since the information provided is not sufficient, you may consult a local advocate and discuss at length the issues involved and seek suggestions and advises on further proceedings.

This is my response to you:

1. Verbal evidence can also be taken on record if there is proof;

2. You must first send him a legal notice;

3. File also a police complaint against him;

4. You can also file a suit in the civil court;

5. You must consult a lawyer and start legal action against him.
