it's binding - even if it is not in writing. But in practice, in my
career as a lawyer, I have almost always advised clients in these
situations to cut their losses and move on. Take the most common
contract - you take a newb and make him sign a bond undertaking to
work for at least two years after his training is over or forfeit
some sum of money. He gets trained and scoots. What do you do?
Legally you can sue him - practically speaking its better to cut the
losses and move on. In the instant case, although the OP has a cast
iron case, the employer doesnt have the money to pay him. So if he
sues, the only people who will profit are the lawyers.
By saying that whether the contract is in writing or not is
irrelevant, I mean that in the last analysis sincerity of the parties
and their willingness (and ability) to keep to the agreement are far
more important than mere promises - whether written or oral.
I thought bonds to work for x years are not valid in India.
Anyway for my case , I have my appointment letter and was on payroll and not
on contract and we had one month notification agreement.And I agree with
kenneth that even when you are legally strong, it is at most times not worth
the effort(from the cases that I hear from a few lawyers I know).
