Dear casundeep,
The clause of agreement between the company and me for two months notice pay in probation period is valid or not.- yes it is valid
Company can recover compensation amount as per given in appointment letter. Pls check exit clause of appointment letter? what it says... what will be damages in case of breach of contract? In most of the cases ... 1 month notice period or salary in lieu. In your case notice period is 3 months so i beilve company can demand 3 month salary but demanding amount related to consultant, training , and misc. is not right.(I hope these things are not mentioned in appointment letter)
the clause restricting an employee from taking further employment is valid in law or it is not valid.
Bonded labour is abolished in India so no one can force you to do the work But you have to pay reasonable compensation for breach of contract.
what ground can i escape my liability if my case goes to arbitrator.
Talk to HR and pay reasonable compensation(i.e Notice pay). Most HR can do is hold your reliving letter,FnF and give negative PE check. I don't think you will rec arbitrator or court letter so don't worry. If by chance you rec any letter than talk to your lawyer.
