After joining for 2 months in an MNC, my seniors are pressuring me to submit my resignation. They used PIP wrongly against me to force me to leave the company. After 4 months of joining, they terminated me by stating, "AS YOU ARE NOT SUBMITTING YOUR RESIGNATION, WE ARE TERMINATING YOU." Additionally, I received an email stating that my resignation had been accepted. I suspect that HR secretly obtained my login details and submitted the resignation using their own system. Should I file a case in the labor court, lodge an FIR, or take this matter to the civil court?

This is another case of foolishness on the part of HR. Whenever an employee is hired, the offer could be on probation with a condition that "during the probation period, your services shall be terminated without notice and assigning any reason thereof." If that was there in the appointment order, certainly, if your service could have been terminated by sending you a mail that "following clause No.....of the contract of employment, your service stands terminated with effect from.....". There ends your employment, then you need not go to labour court, civil court, or the Police Station.
Now, coming to the situation, if you can establish that the HR person had used your personal email id to send a resignation, then it is a crime, and you should file an FIR against him. If the appointment order does not speak about termination, or if you are not on probation, then you can challenge the termination. Whether to go to the Labour Court or Civil Court will depend on your status as to whether you were a managerial personnel or not. In both cases, the contract of employment is very important.
Again, the HR is a person who does not know the complications of sending an email that clearly says that he had forced you to resign. No employer can force an employee to resign when there are options available under the Industrial Disputes Act to terminate an employee. Therefore, when you approach any authority, the plea should be to interfere in the matter of forced resignation and non-compliance with the law.
Please confirm your status/your functional position in the establishment, whether you had managerial powers or not, and the terms and conditions of the appointment so that we can guide you further.
