• Reputed company is harassing me by not providing me relieving letter and service letter

Dear Lawyers,

Due to harassment by HR manager, I had resigned stating reason as "Harassment by HR". Company agreed to release me quickly. I took all clearances from company. When I went to collect release letter from company, I saw a note that do not give relieving letter to employee id xxxx.
I am following up with company via alumni portal for past few weeks, they are not bothering to provide me any letter

In lieu of that I got a warning email from Corporate HR that if I keep on begging for my service and relieving letter, they will file FIR against me.

1. How to force company to issue relieving/service letter, since I resigned and took all clearance

2. Can I sue HR manager, delivery managers, etc. in my native's court and claim harassment, defamation and demand compensation? 

I have got all email proofs.

The company is very big and pure evil, it may not be possible to win case against them

Hi, see don’t think that company will overcome against you... they have power n all just think of women power just believe in justice 100% You will get it. See firstly you send legal notice to them saying that they’re not giving relieving letters and so and so HR harassed me and threatening Emails where the company has outraged the women modesty as per section 354, 354A, 506, 509 of IPC. See if you do so much it’s more than enough when you have evidence against them don’t sit quietly raise your voice.

No FIR is maintainble against you in this matter. By saying that they will Lodge a FIR against you, they are only trying to deter you in your endeavor to seek your relevant certificates.

Before filing a case against them, send them a legal notice in this matter.

The above legal notice can be sent through kaanoon.com

If there is any written communication with you and the company you can use it as evidence that they agreed to relieve you and promised to provide the experience letter. You can send them a legal notice asking for your experience letter and full & final settlement if any. In case there is not reply from their side you can file a case in civil court.

1. If your resignation has been accepted then the company has to relieve you by giving relieving letter, you may first make a representation in writing to the top management about this. After that you can resort to legal route for relief.

2. No, you canot sue the HR manager for this because he is not an individual but a person holding a post and doing this on behalf of the company in his official capacity.
