6. PRELIMINARY SUBMISSIONS
a. That the defendant was the former employee, on 19 October 2020 joined
Evalueserve SEZ (Gurgaon) Private Limited as Senior Practice Expert and
worked in the Corporate and Professional Services 04(BR-04, ECP)
Department. Where he was hired to setup Robotics Process Automatic &
AI practice for the department and it’s clients with access to confidential
& sensitive company & client information along with having access to
Serves & RPA codes/solutions. After that moved by Company to Financial
Service Department with different legal entity Evalueserve.com Private
Limited situated at same office location as Senior Practice Expert with the
following due process of resignation and rejoining vide dated 8 September
2021. And again vide dated 07 October got assigned back to old entity
Evalueserve SEZ (Gurgaon) Private Limited in the Corporates and
Professional Services 04 (BR-04, ECP) without following their own due
process of resignation and rejoining and told to fly to Saudi Arabia on
client project from 7 October to October on business visa. Latter vide
dated 11 November 2022 Company/employer asked defendant to resign
and rejoin with Evalueserve SEZ (Gurgaon) Private Limited as Senior
Manager with Corporates and Professional Services 04 (BR-04, ECP) as
employee of the plaintiffs abovenamed.
b. That the Defendant had been consistently demonstrated exemplary
dedication, hard work and honesty throughout their entire employment
with the company. This is evidenced by the consecutive high-performance
ratings and bonuses awarded during their annual reviews in all prior years.
Approximately three to four months ago, the defendant formally lodged a
complaint in form of service feedback highlighting of managerial
misconduct, denial of growth opportunities, and an absence of recognition
despite exceptional performance. Subsequently, the defendant shared
specific details of this complaint with Corporate Business HR Associate
Director Varun Sharma, who assured anonymity and promised to address
the matter with management. In apparent retaliation for this complaint and
its escalation, your company falsely accused the defendant of misconduct
and summoned them to the office on July 24, 2024. During this meeting,
the defendant was subjected to intense pressure and emotional duress in an
effort to compel them to confess to fabricated accusations and
involuntarily resign. The company is therefore liable for all damages
incurred by the defendant.
c. That upon the defendant refusal to acknowledge the false accusations and
involuntary resignation, the company abruptly terminated his employment
on the same day, July 24, 2024, within 1-2 hours, via a termination notice.
Notably, the termination notice incorrectly states the defendant starts date
as November 11, 2022, whereas their actual employment commenced with
M/s Evaluserve in the year 2020.
d. The termination notice issued by the company, M/s Evaluserve,
constitutes an unlawful and arbitrary action that contravenes established
employment procedures and applicable law. Specifically, Section 11.2
ABC of the employment contract does not enumerate any misconduct
attributable to my client as grounds for termination.
e. The termination of the defendant’s employment is unlawful & Illegal as
you 'neglected to issue a show cause notice and disregarded the contractual
obligation to provide either a ninety-day notice period, salary in lieu
thereof, or other accrued benefits such as bonus.
f. That the defendant is a married individual with dependent wife & son
residing in rented accommodation in Ghaziabad, incurring monthly rent of
Rs. 20,000, while supporting his school-going child. The unlawful
termination of the defendant’s employment, devoid of any justifiable
cause or adherence to due process, constitutes a gross injustice.
g. That the plaintiffs are using hit and trial method and are trying to get the
order/decree of damages along with permanent and mandatory injunction
in his favour, somehow, so that they can able to justify the wrongful
termination of defendant.
7. NOW PARA-WISE REPLY
