Quick Summary

An employee joined a Pvt Ltd company in 2019 with their work location in Delhi, though the corporate office and court jurisdiction were in Mumbai. Despite being on probation for over 18 months without confirmation, the company has not paid full salary since April 2020 and stopped issuing salary slips. The employee is seeking legal remedies to recover outstanding dues and resign, as the company reportedly pressures employees to sign undertakings waiving claims for their relieving letter. Legal advice suggests the employee can issue a notice to resign, demand outstanding salary, and file a case in Delhi, as the cause of action arose there, overriding the Mumbai jurisdiction clause in the appointment letter.

Since you are still on probation, which has not been confirmed, issue notice to resign in terms of appointment letter demanding (duly calculated) outstanding salary.

You have good ground to quit the present job as company is neither confirming your job since last 18 months nor paying you full salary so issue legal notice in this regard and ask company to accept resignation and clear outstanding payments of salary.

Do i have the right to file case from Delhi as my work place is Delhi while court jurisdiction is mentioned as Mumbai only in my appointment letter

Advocate Bhartesh goyal (Expert) 29 July 2021
You can file case in Delhi where the branch office of company situates and cause of action arises to you irrespective of the fact that in appointment letter " jurisdiction is mentioned as Mumbai only "

Yes, Delhi Courts have to jurisdiction to entertain and adjudicate the case.

You may get relieved and subsequently escalate the issues. The undertaking obtained is against public policy and hence void.

T. Kalaiselvan, Advocate (Expert) 25 August 2021
You may tender your resignation citing the irregular monthly salary payments and non confirmation despite more than 18 months of service besides uncomfortable working atmosphere and personal reasons. You ca demand your dues up to date, relieving letter and an experience certificate for the period you worked with the organisation so far.
Since you worked fro Delhi and they have a branch at Delhi, you can very well proceed with the litigation at Delhi itself.
