TS, did you leave the company before completing your resignation intend?

Or you just throw in your letter and MIA the following day?

What are the contents of your service letter?

If you're still under probation and did not sign the confirmation acceptance letter, you've a high chance of voiding the lawsuit.

Go to the industrial court and seek advice in your local town.
They should be able to handle your case and send a show cause letter to your previous company. If nothing is made within 2 weeks, then you can proceed to your new company and ignore the lawsuit.

Nope, under probabtionary period, the tie contract with company is not valid.

Unless TS has been confirmed from the start of his employment.

Did you sign the confirmation letter or received it personally by acknowledging it?

If none, then you're still considered a probationary staff.

Either ways, please register a case with the industrial affairs ministry or the workers union so the company can't bring up the case against you. It's a record to safeguard yourself first.

Yes that's already the advantage employers hold when you're in probationary staff. They can extend your probation for a given time if they are suspiscious/ragu-ragu with your performance but the staff also has the advantage to quit with the least of time when under probationary mode.

As a probationary staff you're also not given the same benefits of confirmed staffs so yeah with this disadvantage, your resignation does not hold much water or any tying contracts with the company.

All binding contracts with the company do not apply or is void during your probationary period.

So TS, the first thing you want to defend yourself now is to register your case with your worker's union or the industrial affairs ministry(if you're an executive position with no overtime claims) to secure yourself.

The more complaints about your company the better as they'll shame your company to withdraw the lawsuit against you.

Mind mentioning the company's name here, TS?

You expect the company to talk on terms with you when they are already intending to profit from suing you?

Visit the Industrial Affairs Ministry, lodge a report. Then the ministry will summon them to the office with you to settle things.
It's the safest way not to deal directly with them with proper evidences.

The more complaints and cases ex staffs lodge about the company the better.
