Dear Querist

if you are able to draft the Notice legally, then there is no boundation that the Notice should be issue through an advocate But it will be better to issue a legal notice through an Advocate who know the Law very well, in case any point of law or facts missed in your notice then the employer may take benefit of your own wrongs.

1. you should file a case before the labour tribunal, it takes less time than the regular court.

2. if relieve letter is granted/issued on the basis of abscondance then your previous company is bound to show a notice issued by it in respect of your absconding. if such notice has not been given at your last known address then this relieving letter is void. it shall be invalidated by the tribunal.

3. you can also claim compensation against this act of company because it is an attempt to tarnish your character and career.

If you dont get response to emails, you should resort to send the request/demand letter to the top management by registered post with a copy to the HR.

After this also if you dont get a reply or response, you may resort to legal action by first sending a lawyer's notice demanding the relieving letter and experience letter along with other dues you are eligible.

Will i file the case against the company and how many days require for resloving the case.

You first consult a service law practicing lawyer in the local, send a legal notice and try to solve the issue amicably, if it is not effective then you may go for filing case against the company as per the advise of local lawyer

i have told the same to my previous company.but they are not respond on same.

Can i direcrly send the legal notice without and advocate .or can i file the case in labour court against the company

There is nothing wrong in issuing a legal notice by yourself to the previous company.

The labor court option may be kept as last chance
