I want some guidance about an issue briefed below. I was working with an organization for almost 2 years and then decided to opt for a better opportunity. However, my employer didn't relieve me for about 6 months. With great difficulty, I somehow got a relieving letter later.
I managed to get a job with another organization and continued to work with them for a while. Now, I have received a very attractive offer from a large organization with an excellent profile. However, my previous employer, who didn't relieve me initially, has sent a false complaint to my prospective employer stating that I ran away with the organization's money.
I am contemplating legal action since I have proof that he has made a complaint and also proof that I have not taken any money and do not owe him anything.
Please advise me.

Supporting Your Case with a Relieving Letter
The first thing you should have to support your case is your Relieving Letter. I hope it clearly states details about you and your character. So, what's the problem? If they claim otherwise, then how could they have relieved you? That's the next point to consider.
Take references from colleagues or superiors in that company, as well as from your current employers. Go with some evidence. If not with this company, look for another opportunity. No employer can stop any employee from pursuing career growth; it's against the law.

Dear Sunny, The action of the previous employer is out of malice and grudge. Please send the lawyer's notice to them. If they do not tender an apology, make a police complaint. Your lawyer should be able to guide you. However, your current employer should provide you with the original copy of the letter from your previous employer, which states that you owe them some amount of money.
