I shall not suggest to file any case against your boss because you have to do service there. Dont think like that. Try to pacify the matter judging the sweet mood of your boss. If you become fail in your efforts then take the help of some other colleque of your office. You know one has to serve and such type of things are routine in office working. dont take it seriously otherwise you shall be loser because legally also you are not at better footing. Your application is belatedly moved. Try to settle the issue micably and dont make it a prestige issue.
