From a career standpoint, discuss with your HR department how long you have to work the night shift. Negotiating a shorter timeframe may be beneficial. If possible, wait until the bond period is over before seeking a new job if the night shift continues.

Dear Gaurav,

Mr. Samvedan has given the right opinion. When you are not in a position to find a suitable job, you have to prepare for compromise, to escape from the loss for violating the conditions of appointment that you have accepted before joining the duty. Don't waste your precious time and money in search of a legal remedy. Please have a second thought and join the duty and try to convince the management after some time.

Friend,

One-sided service bonds are not enforceable in India. Some courts in India have held bonds to be illegal since it restricts the employee's freedom to work freely or practice his profession - however, this is usually when the 'bond period' is open-ended. For a specific time period of 1-2 years, at times it may be allowed by courts as some companies use time/resources to train employees, which does not apply in your case (as per your version). No one will know until one goes to court and challenges the documents, so you can safely assume that it will not be challenged.

All said and done, consult a lawyer with your complete set of documentation before making any decision.

Best wishes,
