Labour blackmailing through labour court
I have been summoned by the labour court, as some ex employee has filed a complaint against me for wrongful termination, minimum wages act and pending wages for 3 months.
This person has worked only for 1 year in my small workshop. I have paid all his dues timely. Being a small shop I don't maintain any paper work, everything was verbal and cash payments. Any kind of offer letter, appointment letter is not there.
My father also runs a small shop in the same premises, where my workshop exists, with different company and GST registration.
Labou Court has summoned My father's company, and me with two summon notices.
I believe this person does not know what's my company"s name, so he told the Union through which he complained in the court that he was employed in my father"s company.
My father is a heart patient, recently went through a heart surgery. I don't want him to be in tensed state. He does not know about this false complaint or blackmailing happening.
Kindly guide me how to tackle this.
