Forcing for resignation

first try to take the issue to the next level (beyond hod) maybe to the principal or someone who is above hod in hierachy and see whether any action is initiated as required.if nothing is hapening- - raise the salary issue.if more than a month salary is pending then send them a notice demanding explanation why your salary had not been disbursed and give them some 15 days time to settle the same.if still they are reluctant then take the issueto the labour commissioner

In private institutions anything is possible.They may intiate diciplinary action against you  so as  to remove you from the institution.So it is always better to leave the institution peacefully.If you want to fight, it is better approach the press and inform them what is happenning or if you know high official in the concern university you approach him and influence the management.

I do not know in which State you have been working.  Because, there is a codified rules and regulations to take disciplinary action against the erring teaching faculty member.  As per the general procedure, a memo has to be issued framing the charges against the delinquent professor and opportunity should be given to give his/her side of version.  Termination or dismissal of the services of such profession may tantamount to illegality and if the illegally terminated professor approaches the court, he will be reinstated.  To avoid this complication, your management is trying to force you to resign.  Forced resignation is not acceptable to the law.  Similarly, resignation obtained putting him under duress is also illegal.  But, you must prove that you are being forced to resign by documentary evidence.  Here comes, Mr. Sarvanan's advice in hand.  You write a letter to the higher authority saying that how you are forced to tender resignation.  If you feel that higher authority is also involved in this abominable act, then you should send a letter to the vice-chancellor and chancellor by registered post/speed post with acknowledgement due.  This document will help you in future.  Next, write a letter to the Administrative incharge to disburse your salary within a week failing which you would be approaching the court.  If they will not give salary, then you have to approach the court.  Keeping you aloof and not talking with you and not giving any work to you by the management is to test your nerves. You should win this psychological battle.  So stay calm and cool and spend your working hours without bothering this social ostracisation by availing it in academic persuits.    Harassing a woman in workplace attracts some other penal provisions.  But your adroit advocate may run his mind in that direction to get you some benefits out of this facet.

Wish you best of luck.
