Dear Friend, I am also in the same confusion and still searching for the right and authentic answers. I too got terminated from my company and it had written that "due to excess manpower" and still i could not get N.O.C after pleading to him. Moreover they are trying to cheat me by holding some of my settlement dues for which they are not interested to give back. I had even put in prison in abscond case for 2 days and really it was a big torture, since my family is at home. Since, i have filed a case against my boss / company legally , i came out from hell. My second hearing is nearing and I'm still not sure about the other irrelevant charges the company can attribute to me for his winning. please give suggestion and opinion for this too....
