Sir issue a legal notice to the previous company for the experience letter . Further stating in the  notice that if they fail to give experience letter after the notice you shall take legal action and also demand compensation from then for delaying in the experience letter. Even if on notice they fail to give experience letter a suit need to be filed for same,

Send them a legal notice calling upon them to issue a reliving letter in your favour, in accordance with the employment agreement you signed with them.

Maybe, you can send them an email warning them of legal consequences, prior to sending a legal notice as advised above.

Non can be forced you work agasint his/her choice neither can be forced to serve notice period but only pay in lieu of notice period.

3 years bond already honored.

NO law.  Either convince them or give undertaking that within this period you will arrange the relieving letter and if not than can be terminated.

Through labour commissioner, it will arrange.

1. You can continue without as you have proof of resignation but still require the experience letter.

2.  If bond is complete there won't be any impact on same.

3. See company can ask for either resignation or experience letter , further if they are ready.to accept you can give an undertaking and can join.

4. There are positive chances of getting experience letter as they have to give proper resignation and experience letter.

Just keeping the correspondences through email will not be of any use especially to the reluctant and lethargic eomployer.

You should escalate the matter by sending a legal notice demanding the relieving letter and also the experience lettter. You are entitled to both,  hence you can claim it as a right.

If they still are lethatrgic or silent about the issue you can approach court or even consumer forum for reliefs and remedies.

1.  To resign your job is your decision which the employer cannot stop, you may have to follow the statutory notice period by which the employer cannot stand in your way from resigning the job.

 

2. If the bond period has been completed then how can it impact, dont think on that aspect.

 

3. If that is the criteria, then you cannot force the new employer to accept you on his rolls without fulfilling  the requirement to produce the relieving letter and experience letter.

 

4. You have to fight it out legally.

Yes, now the position is this that up to when you will continue to work by leaving one organization which has not issued you the experience letter so now for future always mention the last date of working, this is common now in private sector that they kept mum when they set up their mind that to give trouble to the employee.My suggestion is if it is not important for you to show experience of this organization then take the paper of relieving what ever it is and if this is termination then challenge the same in the Labour Court to teach them lesson nothing else. They will definitely say that termination is due to long absence and if they say like this then it will give you the benefit which you can't think.

You have been given experience letter by the company but you cannot force company to mention that your conduct was exemplary

You can file a petition before the labour commissioner to reopen the case for this reason itself.

The management's double game should be exposed properly so that they will realise the law and the consequences for playing fraud on the labour department itself.

They should prove the charges leveled against you and they cannot simply escape telling that you  were guilty of dereliction of duty on several occasions.

You Can Fight back properly till you get justice.

you need t challenge the same before labour court or file a written objection before labour commissioner that they had provided the said incorrect relieving letter due to vengeance.

File a complaint before the Labour Court saying that you are being harassed unnecessarily.
