Dear All,
Thank you so much for the valuable comments. They were much needed and have been understood the most. Being fair and honest, I have talked to my manager and discussed with him the complete situation about my past and present. I requested him to accept my resignation and terminate the bond in both of our favors. He has asked for a one-week time. I am praying that everything goes fine. Please pray for me. I am trying to bridge between slavery and freedom, and that is only by doing the right things with a pure conscience.
Please pray for me.
Regards, Muddasir Masood.

Hello Muddasir Masood,
Hope all goes well.
I suggest keeping this forum informed of the developments next week when your manager is expected to arrive at a decision - it could be a learning opportunity for many members. However, I also suggest you begin contacting a suitable lawyer to prepare for any worst-case scenario that might emerge. Like the saying goes: work towards getting the best, but also prepare for the worst.
If your manager's decision is negative, then you may not have a lot of time to put the alternate plans of action into place. In case your manager responds positively, then you wouldn't be losing much - except some time and effort.
All the best.

Dear All,
Thanks for your valuable comments once again. There is further progress in this case.
As I have previously mentioned, I resigned from that company six months ago. Below is a copy of my resignation letter to my superior:
Dear Sir,
I am writing to inform you that I am resigning from my position as an Electrical Commissioning and Fact-finding Engineer.
I have experienced many ups and downs during my time here, all with your support and mentorship. I am grateful for that. I have decided it's time to move on as we are facing serious project delays causing losses for both of us, posing a threat to my career progression. Besides this, I have appreciated every opportunity given and have worked responsibly towards our common goals. I wish you and the company great fortune and will be available in the future as needed.
Please note that I have left all company belongings in my cabinet for you to collect.
Once again, thank you for having me as part of your team.
Sincerely,
Muddasir Masood
Two days ago, I received a notice from the company demanding 5.5 million PKR within 14 days as compensation for breaching my agreement. Failure to comply will result in legal action against me.
Before my resignation, I had multiple discussions with my manager, and he assured me that I could leave without facing legal consequences, as I had the right to progress in my career. The company was supposed to deduct the costs from my dues but not issue me an experience certificate, as agreed upon.
I seek your valuable advice on how to proceed in this matter.
Thank you in anticipation.

You need to get a lawyer to help you respond to this. Ensure you dwell on the fact of undue delay in the project and therefore your contract period, which invalidates the contract (you need knowledge of Pakistani tort jurisprudence, which I am not well-versed with), and the fact that a contract which has the unintended result of career damage is not enforceable. For that, refer to the Contract Act (Pakistan and India have the same Contract Act of 1881), which refers to offer and acceptance, with both parties intending the same thing. Here, where what you intended and agreed to is different from what has happened, so the contract is now invalid.

Having read that notice, my mother, already a patient of diabetes, has worsened and been hospitalized. According to the doctors, a little delay would have led her into a coma. The language of the notice is very strong and quite threatening (I have attached the notice here). I couldn't believe a company of high repute could go such a mean way. I am trying to arrange information to respond to this notice.

The letters are standard wording. All lawyers write letters that way. You speak to your lawyer and send a reply. Meanwhile, your dad can send a reply saying that he is not liable to pay as the bond has been invalidated both by their prior behavior and by consent of the concerned manager acting on behalf of the company. Furthermore, this amounts to harassment, and he will take necessary legal action against the company. Your lawyer will decide the next step.

The very fact that the bond amount is ARBITRARY and EXORBITANT makes it unfair. Moreover, whether you were ACTUALLY given any training or what would be its fair worth also needs to be taken into consideration. The best solution at this stage would be to consult a good lawyer.
