I was working in one company, at the time of joining i have signed the appoint letter on the condition that at the time of resignation i will work at least 5 months from the date of resignation or some value will be paid but unfortunately due to pressure, tension, humilitation and harrassment at job i have left that job within 5 months by submitting resignation on health reasons.
My question is whether that company can take legal against me or what is the civil law protection for employees.

Legally they can claim payment as per terms of appointment. Does the appointment letter say that if they discharge from service they will give you 5 months' notice or that they will pay you 5 months' salary in lieu of notice? If not it is a one sided agreement. Insisting on 5 months' notice even during the first year of appointment is too much.
If you quarrel with your past employer, you can have problem in getting a new job.
