Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in India

hi, i had worked as dist. at Delhi with a Mumbai based company, having its branch office at Delhi, for around 10-11 years. Due to some pending claims, not settled by company, after my several reminders through e-mails and personal visit to co's delhi office, the company has discontinue business with me. I had send so many mails to delhi as well as mumbai office, for settlement of claims, but not yet settled. now the co. had send me one notice from there legal dept., mumbai office, for payment of outstanding amount, against that notice, i replied to them that i am ready to pay the balance amt. after adjustment of my pending claims. They again send me a legal notice through a advocate for recovery of outstandings. Now my querry is as follows :

1. can I have to reply that legal notice, if yes, then myself or through an advocate.

2. if co. files a suit against me, is this suit filed in mumbai or in delhi.

3. if suit files, then the bail is required for these type of cases or not.

4. any other advice, as I always wants to settle the matter and ready to pay, after adjustment of my so long pending credit notes.

pls. advice.

thanks

At the most they can file a civil suit for recovery in case you have not committed any offence. I would like to go through the notice sent by their advocate and you would be guided proper. bail is not required for civil cases.

Thanks and Regards

Dear Sir / Madam,

1. You can reply to the legal notice yourself.

2. Since the Head Office is located in Mumbai, the suit, if any, will be filed in Mumbai.

3. There is no question of bail, since this will be termed as a civil suit.

4. To avoid further complications, recover the unadjusted unsettled claims from the outstanding balance, and settle the balance outstanding by giving details of the unsettled claims to the Company and close the matter.

Regards,
