1. Ignore this notice as this has no legal sanctity.

2. You are clean cheated by Police . So you have won the first battle.

3. Now the company may file a civil suit for recovery of money.

4. As there is no direct link between you and the loss incurred by company, the civil suit even if filed is likely to face the same fate as the criminal case.

5 After 3 years the suit for recovery of money becomes time barred.

DO NOT REPLY THIS NOTICE AT ANY COST.

1. After the company failed to make you liable under criminal law it has now initiated the process under civil law.

2. Since you have been served the notice you should reply it through your lawyer and deny all the claims of the company.

3. Ultimately, if the company sues you in the civil court for recovery of money then it will have to prove your liability.

4. Furthermore, a suit for recovery of money cannot be filed after 3 years from the date on which the right to sue accrues. So unless you have admitted the claim of the company in the past 3 years, the claim of company is time barred.

5. The company can sue you either in Kerala or Punjab.

Firslty, as per he information mentioned in the present query, makes it clear that they have been threatening you for no reason.

Secondly, there has been a law of limitation in Civil cases like the present one where party can enforce their claim within the stipulated time period.

Thirdly, you have already got the clean chit from police also.

Fourhtly, the limitation period of three years for recovery for recovery of any amount has been elapsed.

Fifthly, and they can’t attach your property as it is the work of the court to decide for attachment or not.

Give them a strong legal reply so that they would understand the consequances if they further harass you.

Hello,

No, they can not file a case now.

Tender a reply to the legal notice and tell them that if any case is filed, you will be filing a cross case.

Also, this is just an attempt to take illicit amount from you.

You may go ahead and file a case against the company also.

If the arbitration proceedings were reportedly started within three years from the date of finding the irregularity then it may not be bared by limitation.

However you may have to fight against the attachment order passed by the court.

They cannot attach the house property without an order by court.
