They didn't show up for the dates the majority of the time. On16th August 22nd), they came after 4 pm & threatened me too, threatening me with 420 cases of data theft & misuse or settling the matter in Rs. 40000/-. want to know if they could sue me in a 420 case. ( after my resignation, I promised to serve for 1 month. have the company hard disc to work. & simultaneously doing my side business, that supplies packing materials to the company I was last working with and gives them a credit limit of 60-90 days. Payment pending of 57000/- for good supplied (still pending). When I asked the company to clear the balance payment, they alleged me for keeping the company hard disc unintentionally for misuse,monetary gain.) Blame 1): running my own business simultaneously during my employment with a company, which is clearly cheating.

Hello sir.

If you had any contract with company that during the course of employment you are not authorised to initiate any part time worl or buisness then only you are liable for cheating , if no such thing exist you are not laible for cheating,and the hardisk which you had was given to you for work process of company then you are also not laible for any thing.
