Job bond is legal or nor

You have posted :

--"I joined a company in Sep 2011 with a job contract of 2 years".

Is it contractual appointment for a limited period? or Is it fixed term appointment? If it is then why there is a bond?

--"I joined a company in Sep 2011 with a job contract of 2 years as a Trainee".

Has the company provided any training which added to your skill or qualification?

Are you appointed as an apprentice? Is your position declared as Trainee as per standing orders of the comapny?

--"Company comitted me that they recruited me in area of interest and they gave me the Designation as per my profile'. Do you have any written record or any evidence to prove that there was an under standing to keep you in a particular area of interest/dept.

Company can shift the employee to any dept. Majority of the employer express it in appointment letter.

Kindly show your appointment letter, certified standing orders, to a competent and experienced service lawyer.

It is felt that you could have contacted a competent and experienced service lawyer before starting written communications and paying.

Did the company mention in their advertisement that candidate shall have to undergo training for 1 year and shall have to sign service agreement/bond?

Was it mentioned in your appointment letter/service agreement that you need to complete training for 1 year? And/or  successful completion of training you shall be offerred regular appointment. Was it mentioned that you shall be on probation period for...........months?

It is felt that training provided by the comapny is ground for service agreement/bond.

If you were to be confirmed in service after completion of training, then you should have submitted a  representation under acknowledgment that although you have successfully completed training your service are not being confirmed. Thus you could have started building a ground.

If you have mentioned in any of your communication that you have been selected for MBA prgramme then you have provided a ground to the company to enforce the conidtions of service agreement/bond.If no appointment letter expressing notice period applicable to you, is issued to you and accepted by you then there should be no notice pay applicable to you. Company might have indicated the notice pay applicable to you verbally as per its standing orders.

It is felt that you may approach a competent and experienced service lawyer with all documents and records and give inputs in person. Your lawyer may be able to find some scope of relief to you.You need to settle the fee yourelf with your lawyer.

yes i have started with a resignation mentioning that i've got selected for pursuing my MBA with the college name and all the relevant documents, the next reply from the management was to pay 2 lacs and to serve the notice period, parallely i've sent a request to grant me study leave for two years, but no reply was given for that, even sent  a request for the reply, but there was no reply. time was running out and i have no other option other than to request for a pro rate basis (got  info from previous BEML engineers who left) and with that  got the amount reduced to 1.58Lacs.

Yesterday i've taken few snap shots of photocopies (communications which i've made during my resignation), if you could share your mailid i would send the attachment. also i've found a lawyer on the web, Smt.Rajamanihttps://www.lawyersinbangalore.com/contact/  called her on phone and consulted. she said it is possible and now i would send all the documents to her to start with..

moreover thanks for the reply Mr. Kumar Doab kindly guide me on this issue, cause i'm not sure on what i'm proceeding with!!
